• kind words from a few of my past brides

“Mary-Payne had been doing my hair regularly for a few years & when she started doing wedding hair & makeup I knew she’d be the perfect fit for my special day. Finding the perfect hair/makeup artist for your wedding goes far beyond just finding someone who can do a good job, but finding someone who can add extra fun & peace to your day. Mary-Payne’s easy going, light-hearted personality made her the perfect asset to the atmosphere of day. The LAST thing any bride wants on her wedding day is MORE stress & MP did an incredible job at handling whatever issue came her way while keeping me smiling & looking beautiful. She made my hair & makeup look unbelievably stunning, while still looking natural. She was able to do whatever hairstyle my bridesmaids asked of her on the spot & we all received compliments all night long. She is hands down the BEST girl for the job & I recommend her to every bride I meet”

“BEST. THING. EVER. What am I talking about you ask? I'm talking about the most quality service, genuine care, and excited spirit. A couple of months ago I got married in the middle of COVID-19. Months before that, around the time I got engaged, I began planning a wedding (the way I thought it was going to be played out). But nonetheless, started the process: like picking a venue, a florist, and OF COURSE! A hair and makeup stylist. I was oddly very picky about the vibe I wanted when I was looking. I knew I didn't want anything too loud, or too over the top. So, I had a mutual friend from college that used MP for her wedding, and when I looked at the pictures, I knew I had struck gold. What I didn't know at the time is that MP's work goes above and beyond anything aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It's the kind of person she is, and the way she treated me and the rest of my bridal party on my wedding day. She made me feel so important and valued that day. She made me feel SO beautiful and was willing to do whatever it took to change anything to make it "just right" and how I pictured it all. She is just the best, and everyone should hire her!!!”

“Mary Payne did my hair and makeup for my wedding along with many of my bridesmaids ( I had 10- she had her work cut out). From the first moment I reached out to her she was extremely warm and friendly. She made me feel like we had always been friends. She truly cared about what I wanted my hair and makeup to look on that day. She came to my house for our practice run and spent plenty of time going over what I expected. Then on the day of, she showed up bright and early (poor girl, I am talking 6:30 AM early) with a smile on her face and a COFFEE for me, like what?! Talk about above and beyond. She did an incredible job and it did turned out perfectly, she even came back right before group pictures to be sure I was still happy with the look (it was 106 degrees that day, it should have all been gone but yet it was still there just as if she had redone it). I am so thankful for Mary Payne and would do it exactly the same if I had the choice. Thank you for being wonderful MP!!”

A big thank you to Mary-Payne for making us all feel so pretty on a day when that’s so important! Sylvia (bride)loved her hair and make-up and so did I (MOB)! It was just exactly what we wanted...Just enough without being too much! My hair was so secure throughout the last dance and beyond. And the bridesmaids looked so lovely as well! You did an excellent job arriving on time and working your magic so efficiently within the timeframe given. We appreciate your expertise, professionalism, and kindness! It was a joy to have you as part of the special wedding day!

—Blessings!

“Having MP play an integral part in my wedding day was one of THE BEST decisions I made in my planning process. Hire her! She is incredible. MP stood out to me from the beginning because of her quick responses and attention to detail. Trust me, this is such a blessing when working with a vendor. I could tell even over text and email that she was extremely genuine and cares about her clients. The getting ready part of my wedding day was so peace-filled and a lot of that was because of MP and her calming presence. She captured my vision for my hair and makeup and executed it flawlessly. I would choose her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, MP, for your professionalism and kindness on an extremely special day!!”
