Blush Hair and Makeup Design

"Ashley did hair & makeup for my wedding, for myself and my bridesmaids - I could not have had for a better experience! She is so talented and attentive, and executed exactly what I had in mind. Would highly recommend Ashley and her team for your hair & makeup needs!"

"First of all, Ashely's studio is super cute and really relaxing. We had a great time at my trial. Ashley listened to what look I was thinking about and then brought that to life. My hair and makeup have never looked so good! Getting my hair and makeup done that morning by Ashely was so relaxing -- it was a great way to set the tone for the day."

"Ashley is amazing! She helped me think through multiple completely different hair and makeup looks for my wedding (since I am very indecisive!) and struck a great balance between supportive of whatever I chose while also giving me great feedback on what would look great with my venue and dress. My whole wedding party was thrilled with their hair and makeup, and the experience of working together was fun and relaxing. And of course, I LOVED how I looked on my wedding day! I got so many compliments on my hair and felt beautiful. One specific thing I noticed is that my skin looked better than it's looked with any other makeup artist I've tried - there was no element of cakiness and I felt like I was glowing. I highly recommend Ashley & her team for your wedding!!!"

"BLOWN AWAY BY ASHLEY @ BLUSH!!! From the very first time I spoke with Ashley, she felt like an old friend. She seems to have mastered a way of being both charismatic and funny, while maintaining an extreme level of professionalism. I chose not to do a trial before the big day. While that might have been extremely nerve-racking for some, I wasn't worried at all because Ashley really went the extra mile, taking time to talk me through different options and ideas and she was so patient with me while I tried to make a decision about my wedding hairstyle. One of my fondest memories of our wedding day was the time spent getting ready with my ladies. Ashley truly felt like she belonged there with us, just another one of the girls. And now for the most important part...... the end results were AMAZING!!! Ashley is a magical hair and makeup unicorn. I don't wear a lot of makeup in my day-to-day life so I explained to her that while I definitely wanted to wow my groom, I also wanted to look and feel as natural as possible. She used the most beautiful combination of neutral tones and delivered exactly what I was hoping for! And the hair!! I can't say enough about the hair! I'm including some pictures below. It was a soft and gentle updo with a braid. The perfect blend of whimsical and classic. And the best part is, it stayed right in place, absolutely perfect, for the entire day! You can't go wrong with Ashley at Blush Hair and Makeup Design!"

"I got married in Big Sur in August 2023 and was VERY happy with my choice of Ashley/Blush for hair and makeup. I live in Los Angeles and am into fashion and beauty, so my standards are pretty high in terms of what I expect out of execution, detail, and elegance for my hair and makeup. At the same time, I'm a down-to-earth person and the last thing I wanted was a snooty or high-glam vibe from my stylist on my wedding day. Ashley was the perfect fit. She listened carefully to what I wanted, asked for inspiration photos for myself and everyone in my bridal party, took over 6 hours on my trial making everything just perfect, helped me figure out what kind of hair extensions to purchase, took a long list of suggestions from me about subtle changes I wanted to make for the actual wedding day, and executed them all perfectly. Ashley even volunteered to take home my hair extensions after the trial, wash them, and prepare them for the wedding day. She is fast and responsive over email, accommodating of requests, and very reasonably priced compared to other artists in the area. And best of all she doesn't come off like an annoying LA-type stylist. She is actually someone I would be friends with. She fit in really well with my friends and family, knew just when to laugh along with us and when to be quiet/contemplative to match my changing moods on the day of my wedding. My overall look was romantic, fresh, pretty, elegant, and natural but glamorous. The rest of her team was great as well--we had two different getting ready locations and they covered them both, and really listened to what each member of the bridal party wanted. Ashley and her team go the extra mile and as a Type A bride, she is someone I would work with again if only she lived closer to LA! Thanks Ashley!"
