Polish and Pout

Jessica did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she is wonderful and talented. Jessica is so friendly and sets a lovely environment during your time with her. Her studio is accessible from 80 and is very inviting. She first did my makeup for my engagement photos first so I could really see if I liked her work. She did my makeup at 10am and it stayed flawless until 6pm that evening when we had our shots. That was a true test to me for how the makeup would stay on during the wedding.
She is very sweet and really took her time getting my look to be exactly what I wanted. She sets a block of time out for you, but will go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for you. She gives you tips about makeup along the way and really gets to know you as her client to know what look you’re going for. I would really recommend the trial run for weddings. When I did mine it made me feel very comfortable and reassured about how I was going to look that day. As much as you plan, there are still so many unknowns about how that day will go, and doing the preview took some stress off my shoulders to know that I will look amazing. Actually, after I did my preview, my mom and my sister did one as well!
For my wedding, Jessica and Lydia did hair and makeup for at least 5 people and myself. It was so fun having all of us in the hotel with their spread of makeup and hair products across the room. Lydia was also wonderfully sweet and friendly and I would not object to hanging out with both of them again the the future just for fun. :) The hair and makeup may seem like a lot more than normal, but it photographs beautifully. The makeup stayed on perfect all night, and the hair had a few curls try to come undone, but with a little adjusting it was fine. :)

Let me just say… JESSICA PALMER IS THE MOST AMAZING MAKEUP AND HAIR ARTIST. She not only made me look fabulous for my bridal shower in May, but I definitely felt like a Disney princess on my wedding day because of her. My husband and I got married last Saturday and not only was my makeup bulletproof from start to finish, but I got so many compliments! Jessica is warm, friendly, and is very in tune with her artistry. She doesn’t make you feel awkward, has the best sense of humor, and makes sure you are getting your money’s worth. I am soooooo glad I booked her, because she added so many fun memories to my wedding experience and her humble and graceful attitude makes me want to come back for more. Book Jessica, because she is seriously the bomb.

I had a blast getting my hair and makeup done by Ashleigh and Ashley. They both were sweet as pie which made discussing the look that I wanted so much easier. They made me laugh the entire time I was there. So much so that I felt as if we were best girlfriends.
I was attending a wedding so I went with a hairstyle that was less formal and more playful. Ashley hit the nail on the head and gave me exactly what I wanted. It was perfect and lasted through the evening even though it was raining outside. In fact, it even looked great the next day!
Ashleigh was amazing with her makeup application skills. She chose all of the right colors for my skin tone and made me feel beautiful. She really knows her products and even sends you home with some good suggestions to continue the look at home.
I was so impressed with the Polish and Pout team that I am sure I will be using their services in the future.
Thank you ladies for making a girl feel like a million bucks!

Life is far too uncertain to not look top notch whenever it is called for.
Jessica is one of those gals, whom I can just ramble on and on and on to (I hope she will still take my calls in the future), such a sweet and beautiful soul with an INSANE AMOUNT OF TALENT.
Great communicator she wants her subject to feel amazing about herself and comfortable with how they look. Jess is good at poking around to discover what amount of makeup is suitable for her client and she does an amazing job at going after what wants to be expressed and showcased or *ahem* NOT shown *cough* acne sucks.
Thanks to Jessica my pictures turned out amazing and as soon as I get them back from post production, you beautiful people will get to take a look. A picture will tell you far more than I ever could but one last thing… Book Jessica at Polish and Pout, you won’t be disappointed!

I hired Jessica and her wonderful team at Polish and Pout for my wedding on Memorial Day weekend and they did an incredible job.
First, I had a bridal trial done a couple of months prior at Jessica’s home studio. She took her time talking to me about ideas I liked and what I had in mind. I would HIGHLY recommend a trial to any bride-​to-​be because it really lets you see how well the make-​up will hold up during the day and your hair do. I went with a pretty traditional bridal look, natural but dramatic make-​up and my hair curled and partially pinned back. I also had false lashes applied and everything stayed put ALL. DAY. LONG. We made minor adjustments for the day of, but everything looked and help up great.
The day of, Jessica and her team came in ready to roll. She was professional and friendly, the entire time. I had hair and make-​up done for myself, three bridesmaids and my mother. Everyone was done in time for the ceremony and everyone looked amazing. She did touch-​ups as needed and gave the girls lip gloss for touch-​ups after she was gone. Everyone was happy with their services and the bridesmaids hair (all done in up-​dos) stayed put all night! (My friend who was in another wedding the following weekend and had the exact same up-​do done said hers felt apart at the second wedding but was perfect all night for mine!).
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with Jessica and her team. They were extremely fun and professional to work with and also very affordable given the other options available. I can’t recommend Polish and Pout enough!

Thank you Unilocalers for helping me find Jessica! I needed someone to do my hair and makeup for my maternity photoshoot and was lucky enough to be able to book with Jessica on such short notice, and even with the threat of my babies being delivered before my photoshoot she remained accommodating and understanding.
She had me bring in looks of what I wanted to achieve and i never imagined she would surpass all of my expectations. She listened to what I wanted, asked for my opinion on how she was doing throughout the session, and seemed willing to make any changes I wanted to make… but really, she did so well that I honestly didn’t need or want any changes to be made! AND she was still able to do my hair and makeup with a busted knee
I left feeling beautiful, fabulous, and so so happy with her work. I don’t think I stopped smiling even when I came home :) thank you thank you THANK YOU Jessica for making me feel oh so beautiful in a time when I don’t always feel my best. Words will never be enough to show my gratitude for you and your work :)
Oh, and fyi she and her team DO travel… so anyone back home in the Bay Area feel free to contact them :)

Jessica did my makeup application yesterday for a concert. She was amazing! She was a great listener and did exactly what I wanted. For my eyes, she was very careful and started out light. We added a bit more step by step until it was perfect. I would absolutely recommend her and she is now my go-​to makeup artist for any future events. Thank you Jessica!

I am in love with Polish and Pout!
And that means a lot coming from someone whose makeup routine is usually a swipe of mascara and some Benetint on the cheeks.
A quick synopsis:
As I was preparing for my wedding last October, I really struggled with the idea of whether or not to hire someone to do my hair and makeup. I knew I wanted to provide the option for my wedding party, but I have never loved the way I looked after getting my face done professionally.
Fast forward through a few horrible trial experiences with other makeup artists. As I was ready to throw in the towel my future Mother-​in-​Law mentions that she was recently at a wedding where the Mother of the Bride looked AMAZING, and that I should give Polish and Pout a chance.
Oh, am I so, so glad I did. Jessica (the owner), is an incredible listener, knows her stuff more than anyone I’ve ever met, and was so open to my thoughts /​fears that I felt like she was a close friend I was chatting with about my big day. She took everything into account, as did Ashley, one of her team members who did my hair. Even after the trial, when i decided I wanted to tweak a few things with my makeup (and a BIG thing with my hair), she was super gracious and wonderful about it all.
On the day of the wedding it was so wonderful to have Jessica and Ashley getting us all prepped. For such an intimate time with the wedding party, I could not have asked for two better women to be a part of the crew. Besides them being wonderful to be around, they made myself and the entire wedding party VERY happy. All of my girls are particular about what they like, and every single one of them was floored by how great they felt when they were done. And me? I felt natural, and [gasp], beautiful. Two words that anyone getting ready to walk down the aisle can only hope for.
Thank you Jessica and Ashley, for your incredible work! I can’t wait to find an excuse to use your services again.

Polish & Pout is a necessity for anyone with an upcoming event or wedding. Jessica and Ashley did the hair and makeup for my wedding on June 29, 2013. We had to start early to get everyone done with hair and makeup, one of my bridesmaids had decided she didn’t want to pay someone to do her makeup. She saw the work Jessica was doing and changed her mind asking to get hers done as well. Everyone looked beautiful. I looked and felt amazing! My mom, mother in law and grandma in law looked years younger! Can’t wait to come up with another reason to get my makeup done!

I just had my makeup done by Jessica Palmer for the third time and was not let down! I’m not a big make up wearer, but I know Jessica will do a good job and make me look beautiful for whatever occasion.
Jessica first did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid. I have honestly never felt prettier in my life. I wish i would have had a Jessica for my own wedding 12 years ago!
The second time Jessica did my makeup and hair was for a maternity session, just a few months ago. She knew exactly what to do to make me look amazing in all my photos! I am in love with the pictures!
And yesterday Jessica did my hair and makeup for a cocktail party. I would have been lost without her!
Jessica takes her time, is fun to chat with, and gives you tips along the way, all while making you look gorgeous!
Thanks Jessica!

I booked Polish and Pout last minute for on site for makeup and hair for family portraits. Jessica showed up early to set up and she brought everything needed for hair and makeup. Jessica was very professional and was quick to set up our services, even when I was booking so last minute this past spring.
Jessica uses a wide variety of great products and keeps everything clean and sanitary. She did my hair and makeup and my sister in law’s makeup and we loved what she did! We were both on time for our portrait session and never felt rushed either. She made us feel totally comfortable and we had fun chatting with her– she also had some great beauty tips!
Our makeup stayed on all day and my hair was perfect even the next day. I highly recommend using Polish and Pout as well as checking out their blog for beauty tips. I will be keeping their info on hand for future use for sure!

Jessica Palmer was referred to my by another makeup artist who was not available on my July wedding date. She was very friendly and had decent prices so I was excited to meet with her. I met Jessica in her home and she was very warm and welcome. It took about 2.5 hours the first time I met with her to discuss the look of my wedding and the look I was wanting for myself. She asked me to bring in pictures from magazines that had makeup looks that I liked and then proceeded to ask me why I liked them. She was able to take all of my rambled thoughts and mixed opinions and transalte them into an accurate description of what I really wanted. And then the makeup application began. I thought it was strange at first because she started with my eye makeup before she ever touched the rest of my face. When she explained that it’s because all of the eye makeup can fall on your cheeks during application and it’s much easier to make corrections if you do the face makeup last. This made a lot of sense to me when she explained it. Jessica also does eyelash application which I took full advantage of.
I actually ended up going for a second consultation with Jessica because the look that I thought I wanted changed drastically and I wanted to see how my face would look on my wedding day before the day actually came. Both times Jessica worked absolute magic. And not just with me! Jessica actually did my mother’s makeup as well. My mom hardly ever wears makeup and is pretty skeptical about anyone being able to make her look «good» when all that means to her is fake. But my mom was completely surprised and thrilled at the look Jessica gave her. It took 10 years off of my 60+ year old mama!
Jessica was fun to be around and chat with and totally calmed me down on the big day as her chair was the last I sat in before the ride to the church. I would definitly recommend Jessica Palmer for your beauty needs. She also does a la cart pricing so all of your bridesmaids can have a special touch on your big day without breaking the bank. Give her a call!
