Thumbtack customerSep 2026

Highly recommend getting your hair and makeup done by Missy. She was professional and excellent at her craft. Loved how my hair and makeup came out and loved that she came to me to do it. I especially loved how she did my daughter’s hair. My daughter loved how her hair came out and her “makeup” came out. (She’s 9 and went didn’t want her to look 19) she came out perfect! Thank you so much!

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Missy! She responded right away to my inquiry. Her pricing was fair and I was able to book with just a few days before my event. I booked her for hair and makeup for my maternity photos and I am still blown away. Will definitely be using her in the future!

Missy was awesome. She kept in touch with me, she arrived on time, she felt like my friend immediately, she made me look the very best i could. Hair and makeup absolutely perfect. I felt that what she charged was quite reasonable.

Missy was wonderful to work with! She did my hair and makeup for my small courthouse wedding and was very patient with me not knowing exactly what I wanted. We gradually figured it out together and I was extremely happy with the final result. She's also just lovely and easygoing which as an anxious gal, I appreciate a lot.

Missy was available for me at every step and worked with me on a rushed schedule. Easy to talk to and an engaging energy. She aimed to meet my wants and gave me options when I struggled with decisions. Would use her again.

Carol S.Dec 2023

If I could give Missy 10 stars...I would do it! Missy took on the challenge of designing and teaching 80 young actors how to do their makeup for a production of CATS Young Actors Edition. I cannot say enough abut how amazing these actors looked and how well they were taught makeup skills and application from how to prepare their skin, do their makeup, and how to take care of their skin after removal. The staff, the parents and the kids loved her and we would definity hire her again for our shows!!! Thank you so much, Missy! You helped make our "cats" look and feel incredible!
