I contacted Jessica to do my bridal makeup/hair and from start to finish, her team was AMAZING! Jessica was the one who did my hair/makeup yesterday and was so great and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it, even redid my hair to make sure it was perfect for me when I poorly described what I wanted lol! She was so sweet, funny and very personable! You won't regret working with Jessica for your big day, or any special event you have coming up. She will make you look and feel so beautiful!

Jessica was amazing and I could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding. She and her team were absolutely amazing and were able to deal with all my bridesmaids and both mother of the bride and mother of the groom. The mother of the groom was so happy she cried about her hair and makeup. I felt exactly the same!! She made my wedding an incredible experience!

Jessica did my hair and make up for my elopement and I was so happy with the results.
Not only did I look and feel beautiful, but Jessica was very sweet and helpful as I was not feeling well that day and the A/C broke in my hotel room. It speaks to her expertise that she could put on my eyelashes all while the hotel staff climbed ladders to fix the A/C, room service fluffed the pillows and bedding, dropped off a celebratory bottle and chocolates. She kept telling me we would later laugh about it and she's right.
Aside from some general requests on how I wanted my hair and makeup to look

I absolutely adore Jessica and her phenomenal team. I've never felt so loved and special as I did on both my rehearsal and wedding day. Jessica and Pecca made me look the most beautiful I've ever been - and even better made me feel right at home. Can you guys move to north caroline so we can be bff's?!?!
They arrived on time, moved quickly (though we never felt rushed), got through 10+ hair and makeups on the wedding day - totally prepared for all different hair, skins, looks. All my girls were super happy and beautiful. This team knows what they're doing.
Thank you sooo

Jessica did an excellent job with my hair and make up for my wedding. I was thankful that despite her busy schedule, she was able to squeezed me in , in short notice. I just met her the day of my appointment but she made me feel like she'd know me for a long time. I think she deserves more than just 5 stars.

When coming to Maui to finalize our wedding venue search, I decided that doing our engagment photos there would be best to test out someone for Hair & Makeup. I did my research, and thought that Jessica's pricing was very reasonable, and that her work resembled what I was looking for. With less than a week heads up, she was able to coordinate a time for my hair and makeup, and was so accommodating!
I was very happy with the results after she was complete, but the real test came for the actual engagement shoot where we were on the beach getting splashed with ocean water, and battling wind

My husband and I decided to have our wedding in Maui, mid June. It was beautiful, a tropical paradise! What we didn't realize is that it was also very hot
That's where Jessica came in and worked her magic. You could tell that Jessica is very passionate about her work and gives it her 100%. She was there for me from the morning to the mid day touch up, and made sure I looked fresh and my very best.
Jessica made me feel happy on the inside, and beautiful on the outside. She just has this pleasant personality (which is great to be around when your slightly nervous on your wedding day

Jessica, is amazing!
Our day was PERFECT! I feel like I looked like the absolute best version of myself with a little sass, and that was the goal. Honestly, I didn't even know I could rock it like that!
It was a pleasure to talk with her and Peka who did amazing with my hair!
I was treated like a princess, and my hair and makeup withstood the Maui heat and humidity. Everything looked just as fresh at the end of the night as it did when I slipped into my wedding dress.
I really couldn't have been happier. It was a magical day.
Thanks again

I'm so glad I decided to go with Jessica and her team of makeup artists/hair stylists for my wedding! I wear very natural makeup daily (concealer/brows/eyeliner), and wanted to photograph well but also look recognizable at the same time. Jessica (makeup) and Peka (hair) were amazing in making this happen! My hair and airbrush makeup were actually done during the late morning of my wedding day, and it looked great after more than 12 hours later, through the tears, dancing, etc.
In addition to my own makeup and hair, my bridesmaids and my mother had demure makeup applications along with their

It's been a while, but Jessica did my makeup, as well as the makeup for my bridal party in November of 2005. She also did my spray tan the day prior to the wedding. On both, she did a fabulous job. 11 years later, and the pictures still look great! Not at all garish. I looked like the best version of me! Thank you so much Jessica!

Jessica was fantastic! I was so happy that I found and I was very lucky that I was able to book her so last minute for my honeymoon photo session. Almost every picture came out flawless and I attribute a lot of that to Jessica's work. She did an amazing job making my makeup look natural and clean. I loved it!

I'm so happy I found Jessica Waite! My wedding planner had another suggestion for hair and makeup but both were a huge priority for me for my wedding so I searched yelp for best reviews. Definitely got what I wanted and more.
Jessica is amazingly talented - she did my bridal makeup as well as my sister's and my Mom's and we all looked and felt amazing! Each had our own unique look that lasted through the night and looked gorgeous yet natural. I've had my makeup done several times before and this was by far the most impressive work I've seen. We all loved the sweet company

Jessica is an amazing person. I did not have my makeup done by her, I was the photographer for a wedding and she provided makeup for the bride. During her makeup session she was very warm & outgoing.
The thing that blew me away was her generosity. The shuttle driver did not want to stop and take photos on the way to the ceremony location. Jessica. came to the rescue while the driver and bridal party hashed out the details. Jessica. took the bride, groom and me in her own car and drove us around to several spots to have photos taken.
I thought she was amazing, she didn't have to step

Jessica Waite - Make up & Hair
Jessica and team did an excellent job with Arlen's hair and makeup. She was very punctual on both visits and on her second visit (wedding day) she brought Arlen some plumerias to calm her nerves. She was very funny and entertaining which I think is a definite plus because Arlen was nervous the whole morning until she came. Jessica tailored her work to what Arlen wanted and the end product was simply amazing. I think pictures tell a better story or show a better review of how good Jessica is. The pictures are stunning!!!
We would recommend her to all

Jessica is an AMAZING makeup artist! I've had the pleasure of working with Jessica on many magazine editorials, for artistic and high fashion work, as well as elegant looks, she is the way to go. Being creative director at CRE8 Magazine and am very critical about the work featured in it, so when we need the best, we call Jessica!

Jessica and her team are AH-MAZING. Everyone, from my picky mom to all my sister-in-laws, raved about how professional and wonderful Jessica Waite and her team are. They pleased 8 girls and had not one complaint. LOVE.
I came into this wedding not sure what I wanted, but just trusted Jessica on her skills because she knows Maui weather best. We all had our hair and make up done by these girls. They were prompt, efficient, and so fun. I wish we had a Jessica Waite + Team in Los Angeles. I would totally use them again for everything!
Thank you, Jessica! You made me and my girls feel and look great

Based on friends' recommendations, blogs and website reviews, I chose Jessica Waite as our wedding make-up artist.
She is an absolutely lovely person-inside and out! She is professional, fun and honest- she truly brings your inner beauty out on your wedding day. I adored the wedding look she helped me create- a naturally beautiful version of myself. Once you see your wedding photos, you'll know what I mean;-) It was fun chatting with her and talking about weddings- she definitely has a ton of experience.
I highly recommend airbrush make-up and lashes on your wedding day. Both will
