Emily J. Hair + Makeup

Emily was fabulous! I learned about her through my wonderful hairstylist Lezlie who is a long time friend of Emily's and sometimes works with her on weddings. I got married in Stillwater so it was a long trip from North Minneapolis to the little cabin in Stillwater where me and my 5 best friends and my mother anxiously awaited Emily, Lezlie, and Mary's (a fabulous make-up artist who also works with Emily) arrival. The three of them arrived early and proceeded to take over our little cabin, trying to find the best light for hair and make-up on a rainy morning in an dim cabin!My wedding day was rainy and humid to start and then extremely windy and then perfect...my hair (done by Lezlie) and make-up (done by Emily) stayed impeccable straight through all of the weather, hugs, and dancing. I have to say that these ladies transformed me! I felt so beautiful and natural, exactly as I wanted.In addition to the wonderful service we received on my wedding day, both Lezlie and Emily were really flexible in setting up hair and make-up trials beforehand. Emily was extremely professional. As soon as I knew how many ladies we'd have for hair and make-up she sent me a detailed schedule which she was flexible with once she arrived on the morning of our wedding. She also called serveral times just to touch base which was very reassuring.It was so nice to have Emily J come to us and not have to get up and rush off to a salon. I would highly reccomend her services!

Emily is the best! When my regular salon was booked on my wedding day, I was desperately searching for someone to help with my hair and makeup as well as to take care of my bridal party. She not only was extremely flexible (she came to where we were!), but she is unbelievably talented - prom hair was nowhere to be found! Emily and her assistant made our morning fun and care-free. Absolutely priceless. Thank you Emily!!!
