Wowpretty was selected a “Best of Project Wedding” Vendor by the Project Wedding community.
Jira is the best. She did my wedding day makeup and hair and did a wonderful job. Elena also assisted with my bridesmaid’s hair and my mom’s hair and makeup. They are such a great team and work so efficiently. I think we were ahead of schedule because of their hard work. They put so much effort into making your wishes come true and that goes for my bridesmaid’s hair too. Couldn’t be happier with their service. I’ll likely go back for hair and makeup when my husband and I do our one year anniversary wedding shoot. And Jira, if you’re reading this, thank you again!!! You were amazing. =)

Dear Jira
Thank you SO MUCH Jira for making me beautiful last night and helping me out for my wedding dress . Without your help I may cry – haha I feel so lucky to have you as my makeup artist and hair stylist. We will contact you after we come back from honeymoon and Andy said he will do his hair with only you. Haha 
keep me posted!

Jira is a makeup super-hira! (Superhero, for those who can’t “hear” the phonetic fun.)
Jira was my hair and makeup stylist for my wedding and her team also did the hair and makeup for my five bridesmaids. Everyone looked incredible and everyone’s hair and makeup lasted well through the entire wedding (a good 8 hours and beyond).
I purposely waited a while to write this review because I wanted to see all my wedding photos and my wedding video to do a true rating. Truly 5 stars – everyone (especially me!) looked radiant in all mediums. It doesn’t surprise me though because the way I found out about Wowpretty/Jira is THROUGH a video. (I was screening for videographers and I saw a Thomas Hughes video – review to come – and one bride’s makeup was just natural, glowing and beautiful and I said, “I want that look!” and I saw her credits on the video’s website.)
I did a trial session with Jira and it was totally worth it. Some people think it’s pricey to do, but hey, would you buy a car without taking it for a test drive? It’s your wedding and you’ve got to make sure that the stylist makes you look your best and that you still feel like “you”, only more gorgeous on your wedding day!
This is how much I endorse Jira:
1) I entrusted her to cut my long hair for my pre-wedding haircut. Not only was it optimal for the updo I had chosen, but months later, it remained an all-around awesome haircut.
2) My Maid of Honor hired Jira to do her makeup for a special event (outside of my wedding events)and even hired her for makeup lessons.
3) I ONLY wanted Jira to do my hair and makeup. She has a very talented crew, but I wanted the best of the best!
My bridemaids and I looked amazingly beautiful on my wedding day, Jira and her team were on time and very professional and Jira was very responsive to any questions or style requests. Magnifique!

Reviewed on Wedding wire! Wowpretty was one of the first vendors i hired almost immediately after i got engaged. I already knew that Jira was one of the best in the industry and i booked her quick because she gets booked up fast! I didn’t even go in for a trial and went with my gut that she would do a great job. I ended up doing a trial after i booked her and it came out exactly the way i envisioned. She understood that i wanted to look natural but still have color. She took her time to make my hair and makeup perfect. On the day of the wedding, she and four of her makeup artists all arrived on time at my hotel. They worked their butts off to get myself, 8 of my bridesmaids and 2 mothers done in 3 hours! Jira made my makeup perfect and it stayed put all day ( 6 am-midnight) ! She is extremely talented at what she does. Do not hesitate to book her if you are looking for a top notch makeup/hair team!

Elena did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August 2012. She did an amazing job on making me look flawless. I loved my makeup so much that I didn’t want to wash my face at the end of the night. All my expectations of looking & feeling beautiful were met. Thank you.
She was professional, patient, and so sweet to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better MUA. Thank you for putting up w/ my bridezilla attitude. Pency~
