Urbanista Weddings

Hannah is beyond spectacular at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough. SERIOUSLY. I hired her to do my trial run for my engagement photos and we immediately hit it off. She was awesome at hearing my specific requests and went beyond my expectations as I am quite picky with my hair and makeup (I tend to go the natural route). I absolutely loved how she styled me.
A few weeks before my wedding I decided to go from blonde to dark brunette so naturally I changed the look I was going for and when Hannah showed up on my wedding day to style me, she was completely on board for the new direction. I was nervous to change it on her last minute but she heard me out and executed the look I wanted– yet again.
I highly highly highly recommend Hannah for any of your styling needs, especially weddings. She’s incredible at what she does and is also a wonderful energy to be around!

I worked with Timaree and Allison on my September 13^th wedding and I’m soooo happy I had these ladies. I started with a consultation with Timaree a month prior, and she totally got my vision and was really fun to work with. On the day-​of, my biggest concern was timing because my group was fairly large with 8 total, and we all wanted to get our hair and makeup done. Timaree and Allison were both super punctual and even showed up early to my hotel room to setup. And these girls work fast! We started at 8:30 and were done by 1:30, which for hair and makeup for 8 people is impressive.
And despite the time crunch, they did not skim on quality.
Timaree and Allison are pros and they made everyone look fantastic! The updos they gave my bridesmaids were so beautiful and intricate and their makeup looked glamorous — exactly the theme we were going for. I absolutely loved both my hair and makeup which held up all evening (I think I only touched up my makeup once).
Both of these girls are sweet, fun, and super talented. Working with Hannah to set everything up is also a breeze, and their pricing is really competitive. I highly recommend working with Urbanista Wedding for hair and makeup.

Hannah is amazing. Knows her stuff. If you want a professional, on location company that will do exactly as you ask then Urbanista Weddings is it. She made me look AMAZING on my day and my girls as well, love Urbanista Weddings.

I used Urbanista as the hair and makeup team for my wedding. They saved the day! I was having a challenging time finding someone who was available for my Labor Day weekend wedding and they came through tremendously. Hannah helped with the process of figuring out our needs and timeline. She kept in contact with me and responded to my emails quickly. On the day of my wedding my stylists had to do hair and makeup for 12 women in a matter ⁴⁄₅ hours! We had two women, Angie and Tara, and they did a fantastic job. Every girl got the style they wanted, they looked beautiful and, more importantly, felt beautiful. I highly recommend this team. I don’t have any complaints and they made my wedding day beautiful.

This review is long overdue, but Urbanista Weddings did an absolutely amazing job for my wedding in January! I scheduled my trial run with Hannah a few months in advance and she did a wonderful job with both my hair and make-​up. I had myself, 4 bridesmaids and my mom who needed both hair and make-​up done on my wedding day (within a 4 hour time frame) and Hannah was so thorough, asking about the girls’ hair and their make-​up preferences before deciding how many stylists would be necessary for the day. She said two should be perfect, and I requested Timaree as the second stylist after seeing her incredible make-​up skills on Facebook.
They both arrived at the venue on time and we went over the schedule of which girl would get hair/​make-​up done when to ensure I was finished a little earlier so the girls could continue getting ready while I had first look pictures taken. They each set up a station (Hannah doing hair and Timaree doing make-​up) and I was thrilled with what a fantastic job they both did. They were constantly doing time checks to make sure we were on track with the schedule. Most of the bridesmaids are pretty low maintenance about hair and make-​up, but both Timaree and Hannah made suggestions and helped them figure out a hair and make-​up style that would be perfect for them.
The finished looks for everyone were so beautiful. These ladies truly know what to do to make you look spectacular in pictures, and I am SO thankful they were available on my big day. I really enjoy doing my own hair and make-​up and went back and forth about having someone else do it for my wedding. Let me tell you, of all the big decisions I had to make during wedding planning, hiring these ladies was one of the best. I can’t tell you how much better my pictures look having a professional job done, and how much less I had to stress that day because of them (that’s really the goal, right? The less stress, the better!). I was worried that I wouldn’t look like myself having someone else do my make-​up, but Timaree truly made us all look like the most beautiful versions of ourselves.
We had our hair and make-​up done beginning at 10am that day and by 11pm all the ladies’ hair and make-​up still looked perfect (I was actually really sad to wash mine off at the end of the night! :). I would absolutely recommend Urbanista Weddings to every future bride-​you will not be disappointed! Thank you Hannah and Timaree for helping to make my big day that much more amazing!

Hannah (owner, operator) was late to my trial run. To her credit, 520 was closed. Then again, it was a scheduled closure and as a professional, she should have known and planned accordingly. This made me nervous for day-​of, but she was on time on the wedding day (one of her assistants was late).
The MAJOR issue with time was despite me telling her what time she had to finish (many, many times) she still went over that time limit so long that we had to cut out some of our photos. Unprofessional and also disrespectful.
As far as the hair — she did an excellent job. My hair trial hadn’t gone as well as I hoped, but she made some changes and my hair looked great and stayed that way until the end of the night. I was very impressed because there was a lot of rushing around (some running around, literally) and dancing. She and her assistants did my mother’s hair and a few bridesmaids — their hair also looked great.
As for makeup, I had made clear to Hannah after my trial that the mascara or eyeliner and bled under my eyes following the trial run. I reminded her of this that day. Same issue. Looking at the photos from the reception, I was pretty disappointed that it looked so unkempt. Initially, however, it looked lovely — I wanted it to look mostly natural, but still look good in photos. It did look great through the ceremony, but not long after.
As far as personality, she’s super peppy and energetic, but is definitely more of a talker than a listener — which is not a huge deal, but may be why she never really hear what time we needed to finish, and never bothered to switch up my eye makeup.
All in all, she did a great job with hair, a good job with makeup. I would recommend her to someone in a pinch, but I’m not confident I could recommend without some warnings.

I am using a different makeup/​hair stylist for my wedding, but I had to post a positive review for Hannah from Urbanistas.
My stylist was supposed to do a trial run on a set day for my engagement shoot (which I planned way in advanced). At last minute, she had to back out for a corporate gig. Although I first felt insulted, I could understand the situation and she offered me another trial to make up for this issue.
This then goes to Hannah. The stylist asked her to fill in for my trial run. Hannah lived close so it was convenient for her to cover. She did my hair and makeup and I loved the end result. At first it felt like too much, but she assured me that it would calm down after a couple hours (which it did).
Although it was an unfortunate situation, thanks Hannah for saving the day. :)

I would NOT recommend Urbanista Weddings for hair and makeup on your wedding day or any day for that matter. Initially, Hannah was friendly, personable and accommodating over the phone, but when it came down to actually providing services on my wedding day, I was extremely disappointed. I made sure upfront that Hannah knew I had 11 bridesmaids and that I would need more than one makeup/​hair artist on my wedding day. Hannah reassured me (both over the phone and by email) that she would have 2 other makeup/​hair artists helping out on the day of the wedding and that everyone would be ready on time for the ceremony, no problem.
Hannah was originally supposed to do our hair/​makeup, but she ended up having her makeup artist, Allison Sherrill do our hair and makeup on my wedding day — which actually ended up being the best thing that happened (this was just another indication of her flakiness and disorganization). On the day of my wedding, Allison showed up on time and immediately began doing 2 of my bridesmaid’s makeup/​hair. Because of time, Allison then proceeded to do my hair and makeup. It was two hours before the ceremony and still 9 of my bridesmaids needed their hair and makeup done. Allison reassured us that at any time, Hannah and her other makeup artist would be showing up. Another 30 minutes went by and no sign of Hannah. Allison kept texting Hannah and confirmed she’d be arriving in 10 min. Another 10 min go by, and another 10 min go by, and by this time all of us are getting a little nervous and quite upset. The other 8 bridesmaids took matters into their own hands and began helping each other with their hair and makeup because it appeared Hannah wasn’t going to show up anytime soon. Finally, an hour before the ceremony, Hannah and her other makeup artist came bursting into the room, and by this time all but 2 of my bridesmaids were finished with their hair and makeup. Hannah then asked us, «Who needs their makeup and hair done!» Hannah didn’t even say that they were sorry for being late, or how can I help, or I’m sorry to make you nervous on your wedding day. Nothing! None of my bridesmaids answered her because they were all furious. So then again, Hannah asked us in a little louder and very unprofessional tone «who needs their makeup done!!!» At this point I was trying to not get upset because this was the most special day of my life and I didn’t want someone like Hannah ruining it. My two remaining bridesmaids (one of which was in tears by this time) ended up getting their hair and makeup finished by Hannah and her assistant. Thank goodness most of my bridesmaids ended up doing their own hair and makeup because there is no way Hannah and her assistants would’ve been able to finish everyone in one hour!
Come to find out Hannah and her assistant were late because the bride before me was not satisfied with their work so she made Hannah redo her look which set them back in their schedule!!!
So the bottom line is: I would avoid working with Hannah– she is unorganized, unprofessional, and just plain rude. However, if you decide to go with Urbanista Weddings, you are better off going with one of her assistants (Allison was great) or you are better off having a smaller bridal party. Hannah does not take any accountability for her actions, which you can see from her counterarguments on other bride’s reviews on
. She turns everything around on the customer (bride) and takes no accountability for her actions. I honestly don’t know how she stays in business with the type of attitude she has.

After reading the, largely, positive reviews about Urbanista Weddings, I was excited to call and discuss a trial hair and make-​up appointment for my Jan wedding and before engagement photos. Upon first call, Hannah answered and proceeded to say her client had just arrived and requested I call her back in a couple hours. I thought it was a bit unprofessional not to ask for my number to call me back, nonetheless, I did after which I left a voice mail. Hannah called me back the next day and left a lengthy message (over 2mins) proclaiming her agenda of business and why she did not call back, as if calendar items fuel greater business. Sensing very little tact, I returned her call shortly after to discuss my needs and about my wedding details. She proceeded to inform me that trials are not perfect, and that she wants to make sure people do not take advantage of professional make-​up and hair for engagement photos. She informed me she would not be available for my trial, but another artist would, and requested I complete on-​line form. I did so that Sun eve. Today I called to check status, she said she normally sends confirmations Thurs/​Fri (today is Thurs), that her calendar was not in front of her, and she is ‘fairly sure’ I am on the calendar, and asked what time we agreed on. At this point, I had reached my max of unprofessionalism and insult. Based on Hannah’s treatment of a potential new client, disregard for timing, and rudeness, I would never recommend her services… and this is all in an effort to ‘try’ to gain an appointment!

I was looking for someone to do my makeup for my wedding, and I had left messages with four, yes FOUR other places, and NOBODY called me back! A couple weeks later, I figured they were never going to call me back, so I started the search anew, and I contacted Urbanista Weddings. I got a message back from Hannah, I believe within a few hours, which was a good sign. I am actually glad nobody else called me back, because I loved how my makeup turned out so much!!! She was on time on the wedding day, and did an awesome job on me, and my three bridesmaids, plus she was really fun to work with. She kept us all entertained the whole time she was there. I definitely recommend Urbanista Weddings, and Hannah in particular. Awesome job!!!

I’m so glad I picked Urbanista Weddings for my wedding. I did weeks of research and comparisons on MUA and hairstylists in the Seattle area. Hannah and her team came up on top as far as pricing, flexibility, and responsiveness. Hannah answered all my questions and concerns with full description of her services. She has an awesome team of artists working with her. Throughout the whole period, Hannah kept me up to date with reminders and sent me full invoices of the description of services! Great transparency!
My main artist from Hannah’s team was Michelle and she was fantastic! She arrived on time, and when she completed my style, it was just as we had gone over in the trial and it was a beautiful bun! My hair looked flawless and classic. Michelle and Andrea were able executed my short-​notice bridesmaid style request perfectly on each one of my bridesmaids. Michelle did a fantastic job in leading and managing the styles. Lots of compliments on bridesmaid hair as well during my wedding! She even made sure we got extra spray and touch-​ups before she left.
For makeup, I was concerned my mother would not know how to apply makeup to her own aging, dulling skin and eyes. After Michelle’s makeup application, my mother looked so beautiful and happy, I almost cried! She also offered to help with my eyeliner. Asian eyes, mono-​lid, she did a great wing tip! She just goes above and beyond. I feel so blessed she was there to prepare for my wedding.
I would recommend Urbanista Weddings to any bride who wants the professionalism, artistry, and touch of sweetness that Hannah and her team can offer on the special day. Their talent and organization takes the stress out of planning!

I will keep this brief as thinking about it makes me furious and nauseous. Hannah was supposed to do hair and makeup for me, hair for my 4 bridesmaids, and hair and makeup for another friend in the wedding.
Hannah came late and forgot her combs and brushes. We repeatedly advised her of our timeline, but she kept saying she was running ahead of schedule. She was not. She ran so far over time that she was not able to do the look we had agreed on for me (the bride). She did a quicker version of the look that omitted certain elements. However, she apparently did not spray my hair enough as the look was ruined BEFORE the ceremony. The hairstyles on me and at least 2 out of my 4 bridesmaids were ruined BEFORE the ceremony. I wanted to cry. For my big moment and for a great number of the photos, my hair looked like crap! Additionally, she just ran out of time on the last girl to the point where my friend had to cut her off midway in order to leave and make it to the venue.
Overall, in addition to having hairstyles that did not survive until the ceremony, Hannah made me and my bridesmaids run OVER ONE HOUR behind schedule, despite repeated warnings about our timeline. This cost us one hour of reserved limousine time and also one hour of reserved photographer time — a total of $ 450. More than the money, the emotional trauma was the worst. As the bride, I was terribly anxious and furious and freaked out about the day’s schedule falling to pieces. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I were so stressed out that it was hard for us to unwind and enjoy the next few hours of the day leading up to the ceremony.
After the wedding, Hannah treated this issue very flippantly. She provided a slew of ludicrous excuses and she has not taken responsibility for her actions in a satisfactory way. She refunded me $ 100, which is a paltry sum considering: (1) the cost of the services she provided, which she was not able to complete to satisfaction and several of which did not last until the ceremony, (2) how much she cost us in terms of lost time with other vendors, and (3) the emotional stress for my mother, my friend, the 4 bridesmaids, and me — the bride.
To sum up, Hannah came very close to ruining my wedding day.
If you look at my other reviews, you’ll note that I usually give very positive reviews. So this extremely negative review is reflective of Hannah’s performance, not my general review style.

I was in desperate need to find an affordable full bridal hair and makeup aesthetician on my wedding day and I found Hannah after searching numerous of websites.
What I was looking for:
1. Someone to do both Hair & Makeup
2. Convenience as I didn’t want to drive to a salon and then to my wedding venue (I wanted someone who can be on location)
3. Affordability
Throughout the times I planned for my wedding, she had traveled to my home for my trial and another time for my engagement shoot. She doesn’t charge for the first hair and makeup trial but she would for subsequent trials.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived a bit later than I expected which delayed the wedding by an hour. Granted, she did hair and makeup for me, my mom, and one of my bridesmaids by herself. But it made us very nervous in terms of timeliness. However, I think she expanded her team so it shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
Regardless, she made me feel so beautiful on the day of my wedding and I received compliments all day long.
