Can’t I choose 4.5 stars?
Tanya did my wedding makeup and I couldn’t have been happier with it. I live in Chicago so we didn’t have a trial, but she asked me to share some Pinterest pins that I liked, and she pinned a few of those as well (so I knew she was keeping an eye on what I wanted). The morning of the wedding, I walked out of the hotel bedroom and she was standing there with a smile like a makeup fairy that appeared out of nowhere (I seriously had that exact thought at that moment). I was shocked at how fast she finished (that’s great on a crazy busy day like your wedding!), and even more shocked when I looked in the mirror and it was PERFECT. I literally have never gotten my makeup done by a professional and walked away happy. She made me look flawless, and had a very calming and sweet presence.
I checked out a lot of vendors’ pricing around Jackson. Yes, it’s a really freaking expensive location. Tanya was the most fairly priced that I found and I didn’t for one second regret the decision to enlist her.
The only tiny change that would take it from 4.5 to 5 stars is an email or two from her in the weeks leading up to the wedding to confirm the process (what time I needed her there, what number could i reach her on in case of emergency, etc.). I reached out to her for those things, and I think it would have been perfect if she sent an email with a little checklist/​things to know so i didn’t need to ask. But otherwise — AMAZING!

Tanya was fantastic to work with. We planned a destination wedding to Jackson Hole in only 6 months, and she was so accommodating with little advance notice. She also worked within my budget to make me and my ladies feel beautiful on my wedding day. Tanya was fun, laid back, and professional. She made us laugh and listened to what we wanted; everyone loved having her there while we got ready. I highly recommend her!

Tanya was completely overpriced and unprofessional. Not only that, but she did a terrible job on my hair the day of my wedding. I got married a few days ago and cringe looking at my bridal hair. Prior to my wedding day, Tanya and I did a trial in which she spent about 1 hour fifteen minutes on my hair and makeup. After the trial, I took photos of my hair and makeup on my phone, but Tanya did not take any.
On the day of my wedding, Tanya literally spent FIFTEEN MINUTES on my hair and makeup. I understand that Jackson is an expensive place to get married, and would have had no problem paying what I paid Tanya, had she done a decent job. Despite the contract which states, «Detailed notes on the hairstyle and how it is accomplished as well as the makeup application will be documented and photos taken» — Tanya had no notes or photos of our trial. My hair ended up looking nothing like the trial we did. Tanya and her team arrived late. She was sloppy, rushed, and disrespectful of my day. She tried to leave my hair in a messy fishtail with a regular black ponytail holder in it. I was a pretty relaxed bride but it caught me off guard that I had to PROVIDE TANYA with a clear ponytail holder since she did not have one.
After Tanya left, her assistants attempted to fix my hair. AFTER their help, I’d probably rate it at a 3 out of 10. This is not how the bride should feel on her wedding day. My bridesmaids that used her services, which were all provided by her assistants, were not at all satisfied. We overheard one of the assistants mention her concern about not having enough BOBBY PINS. You are a hair dresser on someone’s WEDDING DAY — what did you think you’d need to bring?!
In summary, if you are a bride getting married in Jackson and want the adjectives describing how you feel about your hair and makeup on one of the most important days of your life to range from ‘meh’ to ‘I guess it’s okay’ — then feel free to waste $ 100s with Tanya.
