This was my first time having my makeup done professionally and Ashley certainly set the bar high. She was communicative prior to the appointment to answer any questions, on time, and her studio was very clean and organized.

Ashley did makeup for two of my bride's maids and my mom. We're Indian, so a couple of us are lighter skinned and a couple darker. So we needed someone who could do darker skin. We all liked our makeup, it was so pretty! I was worried that due to it not being airbrushed, it wouldn't look natural but it did! On top of that she didn't give us any problems! She was there on time and was fun to work with. There were a couple of things I wanted to change during my bridal preview and day of. She did all of those things! I will post pictures when I get them!

Ashley is so worth the investment. She is very professional and knowledgeable in her profession. I was so impressed with her skills and confident in my makeup look for the wedding after my bridal trial. Ashley was on time to my wedding, even though we got a late start & we will finished on time. My husband loved my makeup and I didnt want to take it off at the end of the night. I highly recommend her for your wedding day!

Ashley was an absolute shining star. This was my first time booking a Houston MUA, so I was particularly nervous. She was very accommodating as I had quite a unique situation. The location was premier. The studio itself was very spacious, super clean and only used the best products to enhance my beauty. She was very meticulous, paying close attention to every feature of my face. Her spirit was absolutely amazing. She has the kind of vibe where you just want to instantly gravitate towards her. I would book her over and over again due to the quality of the service and overall professionalism. What
