Wendy & Jean were absolutely amazing. They spent the day and evening with us so that we could look perfect all the time ! My family loved them especially the Moms, who looked & felt beautiful.
Our makeup and hair lasted perfectly through tears, outdoor photos and dancing. I have been airbrushed before but not so perfectly as Wendy's work. It looked amazing & felt like nothing was on my skin. Hiring Visage Joli was one of the best decisions that I made for my wedding !

Both of these ladies have a tremendous amount of expertise. They
can work with a variety of skin and hair types, and they also had a lot
of patience and really worked hard to please each person. We had a lot
of fun getting ready, and everyone in the bridal party looked fantastic!

I was very pleased that Wendy could fit me in to do both my engagement photo shoot as well as my wedding day. I was also pleased with how my makeup looked - I went for a very natural look since I do not normally wear makeup. However, I was very disappointed with the some of Wendy's interactions with my family. For example, Wendy told my mother that she really should get her makeup done after my mother repeatedly said she would much rather prefer (and would feel more comfortable) applying her own makeup. Since I wanted everyone to be happy and relaxed on my wedding day (including all of my family), I wish this wouldn't have been the case. On the other hand, Renee who did all of our hair was absolutely wonderful. She listened to everyone's feedback about what hairstyle they would feel most comfortable wearing and we were all happy with the outcome.

Wendy is very experienced. I felt comfortable giving her the lead to figure out what make up works best for me. She did a wonderful job. For the exception of my lipstick, I never had to reapply. It was a hot day but my make up didn't budge, yet I didn't feel it on my face.

Wendy was amazing! She was the first vendor to respond back to my inquiry emails, and she was very flexible when I asked if we could change the time/location. The final product was more lovely than I could have expected...I didn't think I could look like that :) The make-up lasted all night (from 3:30 PM to 2:00 AM), even the lipstick, with no need to reapply. She was very personable and welcoming. Her prices were very resonable compared to other vendors in the area, especially for the service and quality I received.

Wendy takes her job very seriously which may seem a little bold to some brides but trust her. You are in very good hands. I still looked like myself which was very important to me on my wedding day. Who wants pictures of a person you don't recognize? Her hairstylist Renee was just as wonderful. Book her and you won't regret it.

Visage Joli was absolutely wonderful on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and I looked fabulous and my mom/groom's mom's hair and makeup looked great - not too overdone but just enough to give them something extra.
I would highly suggest using Visage Joli for your hair and makeup. I loved how they came to me and scheduled all the hair/makeup times so I didn't have to do anything.
Wendy and Ginger were also very open to any changes or suggestions me or my bridesmaids had. A month before my wedding I had a hair and makeup trial with Wendy and Ginger and I knew exactly what to expect on my wedding day. Plus my hair and makeup from the trial stayed perfect through 8 hours of work plus walking my dog in the snow!
I received so many compliments on my wedding day/night about how great I looked! I would not have been as relaxed as I was had Wendy and Ginger not taken care of me so well.

Visage Joli is amazing. Not only does Wendy have an amazing background, what really sets her apart is her artistic talent. Wendy uses your face like a canvas and accentuates all your best features. Having Asian eyes, no one could ever correctly put eyeshadow on. Wendy is a true artist and was able to create such depth to my eyes! She uses airbrush makeup that makes your face look flawless! Her makeup is so beautifully put on, and it stays on through anything! From tears shed walking down the aisle, to sweating on the dance floor, at the end of the night (and the next day) - your makeup looks flawless, perfect and natural.
Besides her amazing talents and skills as an artist, she is the most caring person. She takes her time and wants only the best for you. She will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. She will meet you on her off days, just to help you find the perfect shade of red. She truly is amazing and her heart that is so loving is what makes her service the best. She cares more about giving to you and making your day special no matter it means for her. You can not and will not find anyone better than Wendy.

Wendy was amazing. My makeup looked perfect on our wedding day. She is very professional and yet easy going and makes you feel comfortable. She is perfectionist, which is a huge stress-reliever because she has the same goal as you do -- to make your makup look perfect! Wendy thank you so very very much!!!!!

Wendy and Renee provided hair and make up services for myself, my 5 bridesmaids and my mother. They both traveled to my home which made it very convenient and were both on time. It was a very hectic day but they made sure we all got the attention we deserved and it was stress free. They both listened to us and made suggestions which were perfect! I thought I wanted to wear my hair down, Renee suggested I wear it up to show off my long neck and accentuate my veil. She was right on!!!!! Same with my bridesmaids, they all looked incredible. I can't stop raving on how great my make up looked. I don't think I ever looked this good. It lasted all night with no touch ups and still looked perfect even after all the dancing I did. Same with all my bridesmaids, their make up looked fabulous!!!! Even my mom looked great. She is 73 years old and looked beautiful, not too "made up" I wish we all could look this good all the time!!!!!

Working with Wendy & Renee from Visage Joli was wonderful! As a makeup newbie, I was nervous about looking too made up (or not like myself) on my Big Day. Wendy was professional, knowledgeable and patientācreating a look that was not only beautiful, but one that I was comfortable with. Both ladies were very accessible, answering my questions and offering suggestions. Renee maintained my ādo prior to the wedding, doing trims, color and brow touch-ups.
On the day of the wedding, they came to my hotel room, saving me time and stress of running around town. Renee beautifully styled one of my bridesmaids, and when another girl needed a few curls refreshed, she was happy to oblige. Wendy and Reneeās calming presence on the morning of my wedding helped me to stay relaxed and stress-freeāRenee ordered tea for me and Wendy even made sure I ate lunch! They were both such a big part of my day, helping me to start off my wedding day in the best possible way. I felt beautiful that day, receiving compliments on my hair and make-up, ranging from āmovie starā to āgoddess.ā Thank you, ladies!

I just got married last month and I don't know where to begin. Wendy is incredible! She makes you feel so comfortable on your big day. She is a true professinal but also so easy going and fun.
I had never been airbrushed before and was hesitant. The greatest invention ever and Wendy is an artist with the machine. My make-up not only stayed on all-night but was flawless until I washed it off. Wendy really listened to what I wanted and was so flexible but also offered several ideas to me with my eyes that I didn't think I could pull of....thanks to hear I did and looked amazing. I will forever have beautiful wedding pictures because of her.
I will recommend Wendy to all my friends. You will not be disapointed...in fact you will be amazed and how wonderful you will look!

Visage Joli offered a high quality make-up service. Wendy was professional, friendly, and flexible. I looked outstanding on my wedding day. I look flawless in every photograph from before the ceremony to the last minutes of the reception. I never had to touch up or worry that I needed to. I have recommended Visage Joli to every bride I have met since my wedding day. Related, she also did make up for one of my guests. My guest also looked beautiful for the entire evening. Visage Joli really can be for any occasion, and especially a vendor you will be happy you chose on your wedding day! Truly a brides best friend!

I absolutely love Visage Joli and could not have asked for a better make-up team for my wedding! As the bride, I made the horrible mistake of getting a facial a month before the big day and had an allergic reaction/ burn on my cheek. I was absolutely mortified that my wedding pictures would turn out to be a disaster. Wendy was so compassionate and reassured me that she could cover up the imperfections from the facial. Not only did she do an AMAZING job but it looks like I don't even have a lot of make-up on! All my bridesmaids loved their own make-up and we all highly, highly recommend Visage Joli to all future brides. Not only did Visage Joli do a great job for my wedding, but it was so refreshing to see a team that really cared about me!
