I contacted JL Makeup Studio back in late September to book for hair and makeup for my baby shower on 11/28, which was during Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, most other studios were closed on holiday weekends and/or Sundays. Joy of JL responded to me quickly and booked my baby shower hair and makeup with Samantha. Samantha reviewed some inspiration pictures I sent ahead of time and did a great job! She was on time and her work exceeded my expectations! I received lots of compliments! Highly recommend this studio and their artists!

As a wedding photographer, I KNOW how big of an impact great hair and makeup has for photos. That is why I recommend JL to all of my clients. Not only do they make my brides look FANTASTIC, they are who I go to anytime I need hair and makeup for my headshots. I wouldn't trust anyone else to make me look my best, I NEVER wear makeup but any time someone from JL does mine I dread taking it off because they make me look so amazing!

I cannot recommend JL Makeup Studio enough! For my wedding in October we had Samantha doing our hair and Jae for our makeup. Both women are INCREDIBLE!!! They are so talented and honestly just a great time to be around. I was really nervous going into my hair and makeup trial. I never wear makeup and I'm extremely picky over my hair, plus these were strangers and I didn't know if we would talk or sit in a weird silence, overall just very nervous. I walked in and they made me feel like we had been friends all of our lives. They are the sweetest women, which is wonderful because they are SO good

Took a chance on this salon for hair and makeup for my sons wedding. Madyson and Carolynn came to the hotel, and they did a fantastic job. Couldn't be happier. Thanks

I WISH I COULD LEAVE 10 STARS FOR MY REVIEW. My wedding was on 9/28 and our makeup was FLAWLESS.
Amanda and Ashley made my bridal party, my mother, and myself feel absolutely stunning. These ladies took time to see what each (10) bridesmaids wanted. The attention to detail and killer eyelashes brought us all to tears. Without a doubt I recommend this studio. They were able to do ALL ethnicities (one of the main factors in hiring them). Amanda and Ashley are not just great makeup artist, but great people, thank you for making my perfect day beautiful. Xoxo

Samantha and Katie both provided services for my wedding. Samantha was the lead artist, doing my hair and makeup and Katie did hair and makeup for some of the moms and bridesmaids. When I had my trial with Samantha, I came in knowing I wanted to do something outside the box with bright colors. She seemed to enjoy working on something unusual and was happy to spend a little extra time trying out a few variations on the look to make sure we nailed my vision. She also made some great suggestions that improved upon my ideas and really pulled the look together. On the day of the wedding both artists
