Amelia's terrific. She arrived promptly on time and completed her services as scheduled.
When planning a destination wedding, you leave a lot of your trust in the hands of others to make sure that your wedding day is everything that you've ever dreamed of. I relied heavily on what other clients have said in their reviews and I also visited the artists' websites to check out their portfolios. I considered 5 other artists but something kept drawing me back to Amelia. Her professionalism and prompt responses via email were definitely recognized and she made it feel very comfortable working with her.
I normally do not wear much make-up (only mascara), so I did not want anything heavy on my face. I wanted to look like myself and Amelia helped me to achieve that goal. She also did a fantastic job with my hair and I felt naturally pretty.
The only drawback in comparing Amelia's services to others on our hotel preferred vendor list and from my own research was that her prices were a little bit higher, but all in all, worth it. -

What can I say? I was blown away. We had Melissa come to Mgm to do 5 hairs and 3 makeups, including myself (the bride). It was so hard to pick a stylist from MA knowing I wouldn't be able to have a trial run before the big day. But after reading reviews I knew I picked the right company. Prompt with responses through email and phone calls. Even though myself and my 2 bridesmaids were hungover on my wedding day (oh Vegas) Melissa made us look amazing. You couldn't tell we had only slept three hours. If you are a bride to be reading this, have no doubts and book Amelia!

Amelia was a complete delight! She is professional, experienced and has absolutely everything with her to make your transformation complete.
Amelia was very responsive in sending the necessary info to book services, sent a reminder in advance with information to help you prepare for the day. I'm local and she came to my house with bags of stuff including lighting, a special chair and more tools/supplies that you can imagine.
I provided some photos on the look I wanted and she was able to replicate (and improve!) what I requested. She made modifications after consulting with me that suited my face/style better than the pictures I provided.
In addition, she is fun to hang out with! As this was my wedding day, I was a bit anxious. Her stories about her experience and her friendly, positive attitude solidified my confidence in her.
Make-up and hair lasted well into the wee hours of the morning and my pictures are terrific! -

Amelia C. and her team did a fantastic job on our hair and makeup! I had five bridesmaids and myself receive their services, and they made us look photo-perfect all day in a very timely fashion. Even when two or three of my bridesmaids were indecisive about how they wanted their hair done, Amelia did not mind at all and altered their up-dos until the girls were completely happy. Lisa did a stellar job on our makeup. My makeup lasted all day! Amelia is a delight to work with. She is fun, kind, and extremely talented! Thank you again ladies!

Last month I got married and Amelia C. took great care of me and my bridal party!
I live in CA so I didn't get a chance to have a trial run so I was slightly concerned but all was well. I had pictures to show her and she was spot on to what I had in mind from the two different pictures I showed her.
She worked well with my mothers (mine and groom's) and my sister and more importantly myself. I was open for suggestion for make-up and I liked the suggests she and went with it. She was flexible when I wanted a slight change and knew where I was trying to go.
Amelia kept up great communication with me, before the wedding weekend and during. She checked in with me the day before and called when the valet was full and she might be a little late but still was not late.
I loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone that is in need of a beautiful transformation for any special occasion
THANK YOU AMELIA!!!. -

It was wonderful to work with Amelia. Let's start with her talents. She's a phenomenal hair and make-up artist. She allowed me to experiment with a drastic look during my trial (I highly recommend a trial--I had a destination wedding and scheduled a trial a couple days before the big day), and then she encouraged me to share my thoughts and then adjusted my make-up until it was perfect. I ended up with a pouty, bright red lip and smoky eyes--I loved it!
She also is a magician with hair. My bridesmaids loved their looks, and she did wonders with my mom, who had damaged hair from a perm gone awry. She's also got a great personality for working with brides and bridal parties. She's calm, knowledgeable and patient, without being patronizing or demanding, and she and her assistant Lisa were just great to hang out and gossip with. I couldn't have imagined a better "getting ready" experience. And I felt beautiful! Many thanks, Amelia! You are good people. -

Amelia my Amelia...she is the bomb in all aspects.
I made an appt. with her a month ago for an event this past Sunday and I must have drove her nuts, but she was in more ways understanding and kind. I had a crazy schedule that consisted of changing times with her 3-4 times and she accomadated me to the fullest. She was so understanding and professional not to mention organized!
She met me up at the hotel we were staying at and we were so crunched for time because the venue I was attending to had a change of time which was earlier than what we had expected and Amelia came and did my hair and makeup in 30-45 mins. tops! The work she did was so beautiful it looked like I was worked on for at least 1-2 hours. She brought a chair and all her makeup necessities and set it up at the hotel which made me feel like I was at a salon for a quick second. I had so many compliments that night, she gave me the "effortless" classy look for the evening without looking like a Vegas show girl.
I don't want to forget to mention how FUNNY she is! She was so easy to get along with and it really made a stressful day relaxing for me.It felt like i've known her forever. She travels to you and if you have a specific look you can email her some ideas a few days before or bring her some cutouts when she comes over and will work it out real well.
She is now officially my "go to" person when I go to Vegas again. Shes absolutely fabulous! Forget going to the MAC counter and do it yourself hair and makeup tips. If youre going to Vegas and want to look hot without having to leave your hotel or wherever youre staying Amelia will provide all of the sass you can ask for. -

Amelia has got to be the BEST there is in Vegas... the best in Nevada...heck, the best in the US as far as I'm concerned! I sent her a few pictures of looks I liked in advance of my big day. She translated them perfectly to my personal style and made me feel like a million bucks! My hair was gorgeous and stayed put ALL day long. She nailed the subtle makeup look I was hoping for and made sure I was armed with touch-ups for our very hot post-wedding photo shoot. Not only is she amazing at her craft, she's also totally fun, relaxed and great to hang out with. Thank you for everything, Amelia!

I will definitely recommend everyone to Amelia for hair and makeup - coming from out of town, I chose her due to very high recommendations and an appreciation for her style. I wanted a person I could trust to do whatever she felt was the most beautiful/appropriate for my wedding day, and I could not have been happier! I would recommend you do the same - she will make you look amazing!! Thanks again, Amelia :-)

Amelia was out of town during my wedding, so she sent Krista to do my bridal hair and makeup. Krista was on time and ready to go, she had everything she needed for the day, even some little straws so her brides can drink without messing up their lipstick. She was sweet and funny and made me feel at ease. Since I had very few ideas on what I wanted and had asked her for her input on everything I was truly in her hands and could not have been happier with the result. I had so many compliments through out the night on my hair and makeup, thanks to her hard work. I recommend her to anyone looking to get hitched in Vegas!

Look No Further!!! Amelia is the makeup and hairstylist you want in Las Vegas. I've been an entertainer for many years and I have a healthy knowledge of styling, so when I was getting married in another city I had to do some hunting to find the right stylist. I shared a few photos with her and she immediately dialed into the look I was going for. You can tell from her website that Amelia is extremely professional and talented. I can tell you that she is prompt, warm, fun and an all-around sheer delight to be with, which is an added bonus to her much needed skills. I can assure you that when you hire Amelia you will look absolutely stunning and have no worries. I can only add this: I have never looked or felt better, more beautiful or received more compliments than I did on my wedding day. That says it all, doesn't it?

Amelia,
With all due respect, I think if anyone accused anybody of stealing your makeup, I think that would be uncomfortable for anybody in that room. I for one was insulted that you would even assume that we were those type of people. My best friend (she was not my sister) actually wanted to see what type of eyeliner you were using. In fact, she did the same thing with the other makeup artist who was doing the rest of the bridal party. The makeup artist didn't mind and happily answered any questions she had. If you were uncomfortable, you should've said something right away instead of keeping it bottled in. Look at it from my point of view. I am the bride, this is my day....I am already a bundle of nerves. Instead of having a fun experience getting dolled up for the wedding ceremony, I had to sit through two hours of uncomfortable silence due to the fact that you had thought your eyeliner was taken. As you pointed out, your eyeliner was safe and sound. The misunderstanding that could've been resolved in a matter of minutes turned into hours of awkwardness. At the same time, you can hear the laughter and camaraderie going on in the other room with the other makeup artist and the rest of the bridal party. I was the one that hired you, but I ended up being the one trying to talk to you and making YOU feel comfortable. This experience put a damper on a day that I cannot ever get back.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Highly recommend Amelia. Was looking to get gussied up for my first black tie affair. She not only did an incredible job on my hair and make up, but is impeccably professional. She was super responsive and organized. She showed up on time and finished the work on time. She immediately put me at ease and was easy to talk to - she is very knowledgable and experienced with not only the art of doing hair and make up, but also her industry and her future goals (and didn't speak badly about any client - have had experiences with other stylists who have). But for those ladies who don't like chatter, she would've been ok with not talking at all (she asked me if that was my choosing). At the end of two hours, she left me looking hot, hot, hot. I got a nice nod and smile from my usually stoic husband who said that I looked better than on my wedding day. Amelia even left me with some extra lipstick and a straw (for drinking my drinks!) - nice touch! Five stars... hands down!

Since I live in San Diego, CA and was getting married in Vegas, NV, I was frantic in hunting down a good and affordable hair/makeup artist in the Vegas area. Since I would not be able to do a trial run w/her beforehand (w/me in CA and her in NV), the hair/makeup artist also had to be trustworthy and reliable. This was very scary to me. I happen to run across a SD makeup artist who highly recommended Amelia C. I quickly did my homework on her and loved all her great reviews. I booked Amelia immediately and right away she sent me a receipt and confirmation emails which included hair and skin prep tips to prepare myself for my big day. Amelia was always in touch with me regarding the look I was going for. I sent her hair and makeup photos of what I wanted and she was on top of it.
On our wedding day she arrived at our hotel room 15 minutes early, set up and had my "look" photos printed out on the table ready to go. And just like that, she worked her magic! She was so efficient and organized. She took her time and made sure no detail was left unnoticed. Even after all her attentiveness to detail, she actually finished 20 minutes early and OMGosh, my hair and makeup looked amazing!! My wedding look was EVERYTHING I hoped for and MORE!!! My hair looked soft, flowy and touchable and my makeup didn't look fake, cakey or overdone. Most importantly, they both lasted all day, night, and even until the next day. On top of it all, it photographed BEAUTIFULLY! She made my wedding day that more amazing!!! I received so many compliments that day and I truly felt like a princess! I loved loved LOOOVED Amelia's work and she was SUCH a joy to work with! She was everything I was hoping my hair/makeup artist would be for my wedding day and I would ABSOLUTELY use her again the next time we're in Vegas! She's the best!
UPDATE:
Just an FYI, she's also won the following:

I'm from CA and needed a stylist for my Vegas wedding. My sister-in-law found Amelia for my big day. Amelia offered very prompt responses to my e-mails and phone calls and was always make me feel secure while I worried about silly details. On the day of my wedding my alarm did not go off as it was supposed to at 5:30 AM, which ended up being alright because Amelia was 5 minutes early to our scheduled start at 5:45 AM. She was very positive, given the time of day and had all 6 of us ready to go ahead of schedule. My hair was exactly what I wanted and my makeup looked naturally beautiful. I felt exquisite on my wedding day, and my pictures turned out wonderfully. Amelia was awesome, I want an excuse to go back to Vegas just to have her do my hair and makeup again!!! Thank you so much Amelia, you made my day perfect.

This is the first time I have ever written a review for anything, I just usually don't. But I just had to spread the word about Amelia C, because after all your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. She really did an amazing job at making me look my best. I have never gotten so many complements from friends and family. Amelia did my makeup so light and natural, the eye makeup looked soft, not dark or too over powering. Also the lashes, wow, I had never worn fake lashes before but they were fabulous and she made sure they were comfortable and secure.
The rest of this review is how smoothly and flawlessly everything happened. But first of all I wanted to say that I'm Asian and I was really concerned about finding a makeup artist because I have had some bad experiences in the past. The makeup I have had done in the past made me look like a mean witch, it was always so dark and heavy looking. It was actually really hard to find reviews on professional makeup artists who have lots/many reviews on doing Asian faces. But I found Amelia C on a bunch of wedding sites and I liked what I saw. I booked her hoping I had made the right choice. A week later I found out that she was voted as one of the Knot's 2011 best wedding hair and makeup professional. That made me feel pretty good, that others had voted her as one of the best.
She asked that I do some research and to give her some photos of makeup and hair I was interested in. The communication back and forth was very prompt and always so friendly and professional, with confirmations, which is great because there is so much you as a bride have to be worried about especially for a destination wedding. I booked her for 2 hours for hair and makeup. She arrived early to set up, was fast and efficient. She was actually done ahead of schedule about 45 minutes, which is great because every minute counts when getting ready for the big day. She gave her professional opinion on makeup because I had several options with. She gave me a little extra lip color so I could touch up through the day. I know I have missed something but in the end I really can't say enough on how great Amelia was! -

I had my commitment ceremony in Las Vegas last month and was introduced to Amelia by my wedding coordinator Brit. I was so nervous because I live in Chicago and had no knowledge of anyone or anything in Vegas. I was not able to do a trial run and just had to send pictures. When it came to my hair and makeup for my ceremony, I was so nervous as I received strict instructions from my fiancee' to make sure that I looked as natural as possible. When I relayed this to Amelia she smiled and said not a problem. Amelia is the ABSOLUTE BEST THERE IS!!! HANDS DOWN! If I can carry her around in my back pocket, I so would. She made me feel and look absolutely beautiful. She was even there to calm me down when in need. I am forever grateful to have Amelia by my side that day with hair and make up and anytime I need a stylist in Vegas I promise to call and hope that she is available!!! LOVE IT and Love you Amelia!

I started talking with Amelia C about two months before my wedding. I had been putting off booking a hair and makeup artist because it's not an area I know a lot about or am very comfortable with. Amelia C could not have been more helpful with the booking process and figuring out the planning and details of the morning of. Her staff Lisa (makeup magician!) and Christa (hair goddess!) were so energetic and on-top of it despite the 6AM report time at our hotel. They both listened extremely carefully to what each individual girl wanted and never pushed us to do something trendy or something we weren't comfortable with. We kept each other laughing all morning and the atmosphere in the room was so lively and fun. Lisa offered an unlimited amount of touch-ups while she was there and gave each girl a little "emergency kit" with some extra matte powder and lip color should a touch-up be necessary. Christa was a master with the curling iron and made my Japanese friends stick straight hair hold a curl for 9 hours. It was all-in-all an amazing experience and I am so happy I decided to go with Amelia C. The company is the embodiment of professionalism and I am so happy that I decided to use them as a vendor. I cannot recommend Amelia C enough and encourage any bride in the Las Vegas area to look into her services. The price is extremely affordable and almost feels like it's too cheap for the quality of work done. We all would have easily paid 3x the amount for how beautiful and vibrant we all felt after spending a morning with Lisa and Christa!

Amelia C was the perfect stylist for my ceremony. I live in Salt Lake City, but traveled to Las Vegas for my wedding. I needed a stylist who could come to my hotel and one who had perfected a vintage look for our retro wedding. Amelia C fit the bill! She was prompt in all of her communications with me and arrived early to the appointment. I sent my inspiration board about a month before the ceremony. When she arrived at my hotel room, we discussed the photos and she helped me decide upon the right style to complement my vintage gown and headpiece. My makeup and hairstyle lasted long into the night. I highly recommend her for your wedding day.

Amelia and Lisa are AMAZING!!!! Honest to God, they were the perfect duo on my wedding day. They came over to my house for the trial run, and if i thought i looked good that day, I was in shock with how great I looked on my wedding day. They are such sweet people, and got along great with everyone. We were staying in a small hotel room on the Strip before the wedding, and half my familiy was coming in and out saying hi all day, plus Amelia and Lisa were doing 8 of us girls total. The room was packed most of the day, and everyone who met them later on at my wedding told me how sweet they were and asked if they were coming to the wedding! The hair and make-up they do is flawless. I usually wear make-up, but I have never looked as glamorous and flawless or gotten more compliments then that day. They were there for pretty much the whole day with me doing all us girls, and they really made that day special. I have so much gratitude for them, and I highly recommend them. I love Amelia C and LIsa!!!!!!!!!!!

I was planning a Vegas wedding for 6.23.10 from across the country and was a little nervous about hiring someone sight-unseen for such a big day, but after several e-mails back and forth, I felt confident that she'd be wonderful. I was not disappointed, either. She was early, came prepared, was friendly, knew what I wanted and made me look and feel beautiful. We had a good time, too, which made me feel more relaxed on an anxiety-ridden day. I would recommend Amelia to anyone. Great Job!
