Perfection.

Makeup Worx is extraordinary, they are a bunch of powerful woman that build confidence with enhancing your own beauty. I have been going to Makeup Worx for over a year for spray tans and let me tell you that the level of perfection is something you only see celebrities get. No smudges, no orange tinge… just natural and glowing. Sarah and Monika are experts and they make you feel comfortable every step of the way.

I also hired Makeup Worx to beautify my bridal party for my wedding, and it was the best choice I’ve ever made. Naomi listened to each of the girls concerns and desired makeup looks for the day, and she nailed it! Everyone looked flawless with the airbrush makeup that was used. AND it lasted from 6am to 2am!!! The best part? It doesn’t even feel like you’re wearing makeup, it’s so light, yet gives great coverage.

Michelle was in charge of hair. I like to refer to her as an actual hair god. You can show her a quick view of a hairstyle and she brings every detail to life on your head! She made me feel so beautiful with my long curls (that also stayed in ALL night). Every bridesmaid was to have a half up/half down hairdo and yet each of them looked different in their own unique and beautiful way. She also styled my Mom and Mother-in-law with intricate, but delicate up-dos. I Highly recommend Michelle.

Monika has a great team! Each and every artist I’ve met at Makeup Worx is outgoing, professional, likeable and they are experts in their line of work. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Love,
One happy Bride.

Talented, Professional Stylists

It was an absolute pleasure working with Monika and Michelle for hair and makeup for me, my mom, and bridesmaids. From the start they were very professional and gave really helpful feedback when figuring out my wedding day makeup look! I'm not super experienced with using makeup (I usually just have some concealer, eyeliner and mascara for day-to-day) and Monika was very helpful in making me feel beautiful without being 'cakey' or 'overdone'. We were still able to get a little glam in as well with some actually really nice use of glitter, even though I was a bit skeptical!! Michelle was also great for doing the hair - I had 2 trials because what I saw on Pinterest the first time wasn't quite right after I had it on, so it was easy to schedule a second hair trial with Michelle soon after. On the wedding day, MakeupWorx were very professional, on time, and they made sure all of my bridesmaids and my mom looked stunning with their hair and makeup all done. I also really liked how Michelle helped me to adapt a bit of a dated hair piece from my mom's wedding look on the fly to match my wedding dress, and that was really special for her to be able to help with that so quickly and tastefully. Overall, they were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the future!

Amazing team!

Great team to work with! I truly felt like a princess on the day of the wedding and my makeup lasted all night. Actually it was still perfect the next morning to the point that my friends/family literally asked me if I had gotten my makeup done again… even the lashes stayed on!
I am sooo happy to have chosen makeup worx for my special day! Monica was so nice and easy to talk to! Michelle is amazing with hair, showed her a picture and she completely delivered! Highly recommend !

Makeup and hair queens

Makeup work is such an amazing business I don’t even know where to begin! I reached out to Monika about my wedding hair and makeup and from the start she was courteous, charming knowledgeable and so easy to talk to! She was able to book a time to have a phone call and plan out everything I needed for my wedding makeup and hair and for my bridesmaids and help curate everything I needed for the perfect day! When I had my makeup trial for the wedding she was able to accurately asses my skin and apply the makeup to best fit me and my look, she was able to recreate my vision even better than I could have ever imagined and even give great advice to improve the vision I had. Michelle did my hair and she is the hair queen! I have very thin hair that doesn’t hold anything well and she was able to give me my dream wedding hair exactly how I wanted it and how I dreamed it to be. The studio, their supplies and their products are all high end and clean and they do such an amazing job and are truly masters in their art! On the wedding day that showed up with a smile and were so wonderfully getting all my bridesmaids, my mom and myself absolutely gorgeous for the wedding day and made us feel like royalty. I truly never imagined I could look and feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and I owe it all to Monika and Michelle! The best part is the makeup truly lasted ALL DAY no transferring, no smudging and no “cake face”, it even lasted through so many happy tears!! If I could rate them 5 stars I would!! I will definitely recommend they to anyone and everyone I meet !!

Best Hair and Makeup Team

Carli and Michelle from Makeup Worx made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful all-day long. Hair and makeup was flawless the entire day and my concern of makeup transferring to guests did not occur. Being an indecisive person, I walked in extremely excited for my hair and makeup trial. I loved what they created but got home and immediately changed my mind. Monika and Michelle acted quickly to set up another hair trial so that I was truly confident with the hair style I chose. My second look was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and held together perfectly on the wedding day. I also decided to change my makeup look last minute and Carli was able to recreate the look effortlessly. The two ladies were extremely punctual even at 545am. They completed the hair and makeup for my large bridal party and everything was completed on time. Everyone looked absolutely incredible and I am so happy I chose Makeup Worx for my wedding day.
