Some of our Testimonials
From our amazing brides
“If anyone needs a hair and makeup artist in YYC, look no further. Jehan is kind, amazing, and most importantly a highly professional AND talented artist. She made me feel so supported and treated me and my family as if they were her own. I rarely wear makeup and she nailed the beautiful but natural look that I wanted throughout my wedding. Even for non-bridal, she last minute agreed to do some of my close family and just killed it at their hair and makeup. She also secured my chunni and all my very heavy jewelry perfectly! Love Jehan, love Raw Beauty!” - NM
“This woman is magic! I can't say enough about Jehan and her work. She is without a doubt the most talented hair and MUA in YYC. With little direction she so effortlessly made me feel so beautiful through my wedding week. She goes above and beyond for her clients, she went out of her way to accommodate me and did so much more than she was asked all to ensure that our wedding weekend was perfect. She is truly a gem of a human being and just the kindest, most genuine person.. Not to mention hilarious. She kept me laughing at weekend long. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done.” - ZV
“Thank you for making me feel so confident in my own skin. I am not one to hype myself up, BUT DAMN DID I LOOK GOOD! With minimal direction, you created a look that literally took mine and Prem's breath away! I smiled confidently all day long. You are such a sweet and thoughtful person and without knowing it you created such a safe and comforting space for me the morning of the wedding. You were so calm, so peaceful, and so gentle with me all morning. You made several comments about my natural beauty- things that I never saw in myself. And when I saw the completed look I saw how you enhanced those features. That made me feel truly beautiful. I did not feel like I was hiding behind the makeup but rather I felt like my natural beauty was being enhanced. So thank you for allowing me to have that experience. It has genuinely sparked a new confidence in me. I am so blessed that I got to have that experience with you. You are such a gem of a person and anyone who gets to work with you is truly lucky!” - SS
