What do you love about what you do?
Makeup Artistry is a chosen profession for me, I cannot see myself doing anything else. I absolutely love what I do. I’ve always done it… from making up one of my six sisters to my friends in high school; I’ve never done anything else.
Tell me about the “pampered bride” and how you help ensure things go smoothly on her big day!
Beyond excellence in Hair & Makeup design, the PMA experience is about tending to the pampered bride. Years of experience working closely with brides, their mothers, and their bridal parties has prepared us to work with brides. We know how to anticipate and tackle every imaginable beauty “crisis”: from developing a meticulous hair and makeup schedule, to helping you get out the door on time, to dealing with emergency dress repairs, to making sure your photo sessions look good and go off smoothly. These are just a few of the “little things” past brides have said really made a big difference. Even the most dedicated bridal party members often do not have the time or the expertise to assist or tend to the bride.
Do you have a favorite “moment” that happens while you’re doing your job?
When the bride says “Thank you” right before she walks down the isle and I’m wiping off her tears.
Rave time!
“Maria was a lifesaver and I looked to her for everything in regards to my dress, jewelry, shoes, hair, etc. Maria and Tonya helped me transport my dress to the venue, helped me in to my dress, adjusted bridesmaids and mother’s dresses, and even tried to steam my dress for me. Maria and Tonya stayed after their contracted time to help me through my cocktail hour photo shoot and I was so grateful. Again I cannot say enough good things about them and will recommend them to everyone! Grade: A++! ”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would!… All my girls were so amazed by Maria’s work and how devoted she was to making it the best day of my life, that they all want to hire her for their weddings! I loved Maria! She was definitely money well spent.”
“Aside from Maria’s skills and day of service, she was a true professional from the first day of contact. All emails were answered quickly. All documents and reminders were sent in a timely manor. She was a true joy to work with. I feel any bride is lucky to book her.”
