Gretta is amazing! I am not one who wears much makeup and she managed to make me feel so beautiful while still letting me look like me. I almost cried when I looked in the mirror o...
n my wedding day because of the confidence her look brought me. All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their makeup and echoed the same sentiment that they loved that they still felt like themselves. That was a huge thing for all of us - to feel so beautiful in our own skin. We just felt a little enhanced and glam! Gretta is kind and warm with a great understanding of her craft. She is reasonably priced and probably could charge more for the quality of work she does. She will make you feel like your very best self! She brought Kyra with her to do half of the girls makeup and they were all beyond thrilled with her as well! Shout out to both Gretta & Kyra for making my girls look and feel so beautiful!

Gretta did hair and makeup for my mom, sister, and me (bride). She is very sweet and soft spoken - she did a great job listening to what we all wanted and executing it. My mom and ...
sister in particular wanted very subtle looks (hair blowouts and subtle makeup) and she did a great job with them. My look was a bit more involved (braided updo) and she was able to blend in some hair highlight work I have not been wild about to make my hair look even better than the pictures. I would say she's very good/excellent for makeup and absolutely excellent for hair.
