Lesley Lind Makeup Atelier

"I think about Lesley and how incredible her work is VERY often. Not only is she insanely nice and so easy to talk to, the makeup that she does is truly like artwork and I tell people very often that she’s the MUA I would recommend to literally anyone. She has the perfect ability to make the client look elevated and glam for the event that they have while still looking like themselves, which is a true talent in my opinion. She taught me everything I know about makeup, and I can’t thank her enough for that— seriously I can’t stress enough how highly I think of her and how much I would recommend her!!"

"Lesley and team were absolutely incredible, from the trial at her studio to the day of the wedding. I was hesitant (as I always am) because I never wear a lot of makeup, but Lesley was so assuring and I can see why! My makeup was amazing - natural but elevated. My hair was also perfect and just what I wanted. Lesley's team was so great the day of too, their energy and good vibes was just what my little group needed. Scheduling was also easy as can be - Lesley was super responsive and just overall a delight to be around. HIGHLY recommend - worth every dollar for these wonderful ladies!"

"I reached out to Lesley with an unusual hair/makeup request. I planned a sunrise wedding ceremony in Moab, which meant that I needed to get my hair/makeup done at 3am and my mom had to get hers done at 5am in order to be ready on time. This request wasn't a problem at all and Lesley sent her colleague, Chayse McDermott, to help me out. Chayse did an incredible job and was an absolute ray of sunshine at 3am! She had a full travel kit of supplies so it felt like I was at the salon even though I got my hair/makeup done in my hotel room. Even though I got my hair/makeup done at 3am, it held PERFECTLY through the desert heat until I was ready to go to bed that night. I would absolutely work with this team again and highly recommend them!"

"I will break out my review in two parts. Dealing with Lesley was pretty terrible. When I originally reached out and talked to her, she was easy to get in touch with and pleasant to talk to. After securing the date, she was impossible to get in touch with. At times, her phone didn't even ring, it went right to a message. There was no way to leave a voicemail, and when i finally spoke to her about it, she said that was intentional so that people couldn't get in touch with her. When I tried scheduling my trial, she said she could only do early in the morning on weekdays. That was not made clear when I decided to go with her and as someone who works all day, that proved to be impossible to plan. I should mention that I never met Lesley. When I showed up to the trial it was two separate Hair & Makeup Artists, which I know is pretty standard, but there wasn't even a heads up. Then when it came close to the wedding, I felt like I was pulling teeth to get a schedule from her. I gave her the information of how many people and how they were related to me multiple times, and never received a response. I probably sent 10 unanswered emails, and as previously stated - I couldn't reach her by phone either. I understand H&MU artists are busy during the summer, but a simple acknowledgement of receipt would have been appreciated. And since I had already paid a portion of the total cost up front, I was starting to get really nervous she was going to walk off with my money. It really put a damper on the weeks leading up to our wedding. That being said, the team that did our Hair & Makeup the day of the wedding were great. I wanted to make sure I specified that because if I could do it again, I would have just booked with Brooklyn directly. Her info is @beauty_by_brooklyng. Again, I understand that these artists are juggling many different clients during the busy wedding season, but when you are spending a ton of money and planning the wedding yourself, its incredibly stressful when you don't hear back from your vendors."

"I hired Lesley to do the hair & makeup for my elopement. From the start, Lesley was great to work with! I was nervous to hire someone on the other side of the country, but everything turned out great! She was very thorough and took the time to listen to my wants & needs. My hair and makeup turned out great! As my elopement was an all day event, she had no problem changing up my hairstyle! I was tired after our sunrise photos and she was even kind enough to bring me an energy drink. I would hands down recommend Lesley to anyone wanting their hair and makeup done."
