Jilladair Carlson - Master Makeup Artist

I was very happy with my services that I received from Jilladair, They were very professinal and very attentive to my needs. She has a great team. They made me feel like a princess! My only complaint would be that some of the make-up rubbed off on to my dress.

The minute I saw Jilladair’s portfolio on her website, I instantly knew that I wanted her to do my hair and make-up for my wedding. My only real worry then was my budget. When I told her about my concern, she offered me a really great discount---all because she wanted to make me look beautiful for the most important day of my life. That is how kind and nice she is. Jilladair is undeniably an artist and she will certainly make you feel like you are her masterpiece once she’s done with your make-up. I also just wanted to share that on the day of my wedding, on her way to the hotel where she did my make-up, Jilladair got a tire blowout! I can imagine that it must have caused her a lot of stress but once she showed up, she began to work right away. That is how professional she is. Every girl dreams of having a perfect wedding and of looking perfect on their wedding. Thank you Jilladair for making my dream come true!

Jilladair provided hair and make up services to my daughter, her wedding party, and to me. To say that we looked great would be an understatement--we looked FANTASTIC. We didn't end up simply looking fantastic. We had all kinds of benefits we hadn't expected. For example, we wanted to make sure that my daughter's hair and make up weren't compromised while she got into her wedding dress and veil. Jilladair took the extra time to offer hands-on assistance with what could have been a difficult moment. She anticipates what might happen throughout the day, and she's way ahead of problems--as a result, those problems are avoided completely. Jilladair and her team were very attuned to timeliness, attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and fun. The make up and hair session was wonderful for all of the ages of the women involved--ten years old to fifty-four. Jilladair and her team offer a strong sense of community, loving humor, and genuine caring about the event and its importance. As the mother of the bride and the person who foot the bill, I give her my strongest recommendation without any reservation whatsoever. ~Bonnie McGuire

This was one of the best experiences I have had. Jilladair and her staff not only made my friends, family, and myself look great, but she saved me when I was feeling so stressed. I can't thank or recommend them enough!

Jilladair was amazing. My wedding day would not have been the same without her. I was a little worried about spending money when I could do my hair and make-up myself, but I am so glad I did! I have always hated pictures of myself and was dreading the hundreds of photos that would be taken on my big day, but when i look at how amazing Jilladair made me look (and feel) I smile and feel really good about myself. The pictures from my wedding are some of my favorite pictures of myself ever. The team is simply Ah May Zing!

Jilladair was AMAZING to work with! Not only is she the best at what she does, but she is truly a wonderful person as well :) Jilladair went above and beyond in making sure that not only I was at my best for the wedding, but everybody that was with me as well. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Jilladair... you made all of us feel absolutely beautiful on the big day!!! -Bridget (married -6/12/2010)

Jilladair and her team are wonderful!!! They made me feel so beautiful and comfortable on my wedding day. They are so kind and giving. They did the makeup and hair for my entire bridal party, my mom, and my mother-in-law and everyone looked the BEST I have ever seen them look. Jilladair knows magic and can make your best features pop and your little imperfections unnoticeable. She is an AMAZING make up artist and she really takes the time to find out what you want and she makes sure you love how you look. All my pictures look incredible because she understands how the camera sees you and she really does the best job I have ever seen. I would hire her again any time I need my makeup and hair done without hesitation. I cannot stress enough how happy you will be that you hire her to do your makeup and hair - she simply takes the stress of the day away and lets you enjoy every minute. Jilladair's personal make up line is also great and everything is really fun and good for you and animals. She really is the most awesome lady you will ever meet. I Love her, Loved my make up, Love my wedding pictures, Loved all the compliments I got!! Thanks Jilladair!!

Jilladair is an AMAZINGLY talented, skilled, professional and personable makeup artist. Prior to our initial consultation, Jilladair and her team spent a considerable amount of time responding to my detailed questions and providing recommendations for products (including hair extensions and fake eyelashes) that would work best for the look I was wanting to achieve for my special day. My trial run far surpassed my expectations and I booked immediately. Click here to see my before and after. I found Jilladair's pricing (services, products and travel) to be VERY reasonable, so much so I added my mother and bridesmaids when I booked. On my wedding day, I was a lot more nervous than I expected and I found Jilladair and her team calming and light hearted. Everyone in my bridal party having their makeup and/or hair done had a great time and Jilladair even brought us treats :). Needless to say, Jilladair won over my bridal party and even my germophobic nurse step-mother changed her mind and asked Jilladair to do her makeup. Jilladair and her team spent time with each of the members of my bridal party making sure they were comfortable and happy with how their hair and makeup was finished. I could not have asked for a better experience or better wedding day photos. Thank you Jilladair!

Bottom line - I LOVE working with Jilladair, have referred her to other to-be brides and will continue to call on her for hair/make up for future events.

Jilladair did an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding! I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day! She truly helped make my wedding day the best day I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a make- up artist. She is so talented!

I never felt so beautiful and sexy in my whole life!!! Jilladair made me look beyond fantastic, she truely cared that everything was 100% perfect. There was no rushing, or hurried feel as I have gotten at salons in the past. She came to my hotel room in plenty of time, everything was calm, relaxed and I was able to unwind. We laughed like old friends and she also went the extra step to help my mom with her hair. I will NEVER have another formal event without Jilladair and her team, it was like going to a high end Spa only far far better!

Jilladair was fantastic. She has such a funny, generous, and honest personality, and made my wedding day *that* much better. She did makeup for a total of 10 girls the morning of my wedding, and we received compliments all day long. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist, and will recommend her again and again!

Jilladair was great! She was thoughtful, professional, and fun to work with. I wish she could make me look as beautiful everyday as I did that day.

Jilladair was amazing. From our first contact she provided me with so much. She was helpful, supportive, and put me completely at ease. I couldn't imagine my day without her. I wish I could get married again, so she could make me look like a princess again.

Not only did I love working with Jilladair and her team but so did all of the bridesmaids, mothers, aunts, flowergirl -- everyone who got their makeup and/or hair done! I will continue to remain in contact with her even now that the wedding is over to ask her for makeup advice.

Extremely positive experience from start to finish. Cannot even describe all the ways she went above and beyond her role.

Jilladair goes above and beyond the call of duty. She and her staff really do an excellent job, especially when it comes to being flexible and having a broad knowledge of her field.I would recommend Jilladair to anyone looking to be the fairytale princess they always dreamed to be!

Jilladair's services are phenomenal! After practicing the perfect hair and makeup for my special event, she found the perfect look and one that wouldn't make me feel out of my comfort zone. Her fun and outgoing personality made her a breeze to work with and I HIGHLY recommend her services when looking to make your day perfect!

Jilladair did my hair and makeup for my recent wedding. She did an awesome job, and made me feel very at ease on my wedding day. I had to do a schedule change at the last minute and she was very accepting of that. My new husband was very pleased with the results too.Thanks Jilladair!!

Working with Jilladair and Rachel was a dream. From the first phone call when I was gathering information to my wedding day, Jilladair and Rachel were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and fun. They responded to all my emails (I was planning my Seattle wedding from 3000 miles away) and Jilladair really took the time to listen to my ideas and wishes and get to know me before she even took a hairbrush to my head. Her goal- and she came through 150%- was to make me completely satisifed and to bring out the most beautiful "ME" for my wedding. After the trial, when I asked to change a few things, she was responsive and on the same page. She and Rachel arrived early on my wedding day, were prompt and friendly with all my bridesmaids and made getting ready even more fun! I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup. I felt my most beautiful, and confident for pictures for the entire 14 hours that everything needed to last! But I also felt exactly like ME, and I knew that my husband-to-be would be seeing the person that he knew- not just someone with a fancy hair do and a lot of makeup- when I walked down the aisle. Add to this her amazing prices, and Jilladair cannot be beat.

I absolutly loved Jilladair, I went to her house for my hair and makeup trial and she was just amazing. My makup trial went beautifully, my hair was fabulous and I loved it. It stayed in place very nicely all day/night.Jilladair did the make-up for everyone at the wedding and they all looked beautiful, I only wish she had been the one to do my hair as well. My Maid of Honor was fixing my hair just before the reception started because unfortunatly there were not enough pins to hold it in place. Aside from that everything was fabulous and I ended up leaving my hair up until the following evening when I finally reached my Honeymoon destination. The comments from my bridal party were similar, they loved their hair and makeup and felt like the quality of work VS the $$ they paid was just right. Because of the picture taking of my entire Bridal party it was up to my Mom to help me get into my dress. Jilladair was right there to help every step of the way and made sure that I looked perfect from head to toe. Thank you Jilladair for making me look like a princess!
