Pacific Artistry

I had the best experience ever with Lacey for my wedding hair and makeup! I was unsure if I should have it professionally done because my husband and I were eloping but decided that I should since we hired a photography to capture our special day. Best decision ever! Lacey was super helpful through the whole process including my very short timeline. I basically put down a deposit and had to go in for my trial the same week which was only 2 weeks prior to my wedding date.
For my trial I sent pictures of hair and makeup ideas ahead of time. Lacey did exactly as I wanted and afterwards took notes and pictures to make sure it was exactly the same on my wedding day. She made sure to ask how I liked everything along the way and was very receptive when I told her I’d like something a little different/​darker.
The day of I was a little anxious because it was a 2 ½ hour drive to my location and I was worried about traffic. Lacey showed up 2 minutes early and had me finished right on time!
I’m really happy I decided to go with Pacific Artistry. I’ve never been one to make a big deal about my makeup but OMG the contouring she did was amazing and photographed so well!
I believe they are recently under new ownership so I’d definitely not base your decision on whether or not to choose PA on older reviews. Check them out and see the amazing pictures on social media!

Definitely not the experience I had hoped for in getting my hair/​makeup done. As maid of honor in my best friends wedding, she chose Pacific Artistry & I decided to do it with her as I thought it’d be nice to just sit back & breathe on W-​day while we enjoyed some girly pampering time. We scheduled our trial run (just us 2 out of 5 total actually getting various services), and planned for around 3 ½ hours so we could (should) have plenty of time & then leave for her bachelorette. Traci was our stylist & as nice as she was, she arrived almost 30 minutes late-​she got lost enroute & didn’t contact us to let us know. So after her setting up we were down 45 minutes already. I am only going to review my experience as the Bride has her own story to tell. After she spent 1 hour 45 minutes on the Bride it was my turn. I showed pictures of what I was wanting to Traci-​very thin cat eye liner, subtle makeup (it’s the bride’s day not mine) and my hair (with my clip in extensions-​for more volume & length) under braided from crown to neck & then loose curls over the shoulder. It’s pretty much the same way I wear my makeup everyday, but always nice to have someone do it for you right? Never having had airbrush makeup done before (the Bride has her own machine & swore by it) I went along with it as it’s supposed to be extremely light, great natural coverage & long lasting. So based on all these pictures, what I ended up with was great foundation coverage through my t-​zone & nothing on my cheeks. I had a muddy colored blush & contouring powder (wrong colors used on my tan olive skin), no highlighting, extremely thick heavy liner, my eyebrows were filled in & the shape completely changed from my natural dramatic arch to a rounded curve. I asked her if she wanted to place my extensions in since she was the one who would be working around them & she said no I should do it as it’d take her too long. Ok-​just thought it’d be easier on her, but that’s fine. So my hair that was supposed to be under braided left crown to right neck was a regular braid (she called it a fishtail-​no that’s not a fishtail) from left side of my neck to the right, gathered in a pony, pinned & then curled at the ends. The pins were the u-​shaped ones-​kept falling out all night & my makeup changed the look of me so much that my own mother didn’t recognize me in a picture we took afterwards. All in all-​my hair & makeup took 45 minutes from start to finish & I felt like I was slapped together. By the time she was finished with me, and went back to the Bride as her hair was falling out already (didn’t listen to the bride about the bobby pins) the 3 ½ hours was more than up. No time for adjustments or can we change this/that…we were already 20 minutes behind schedule to leave so we just said bugger it. I didn’t look like myself & know on any given day I do my own makeup better. Being that both myself & the bride were very unhappy she cancelled the contract. A month later the Bride gets emailed for my trial run fee-​that was basically inferred as a wash when she cancelled the contract-​she had already paid her $ 50 deposit on a $ 600 contract. So, as I’m not going to stiff the Bride the $ 85 trial run fee since it was for me, I paid it, very unhappily so, as those 45 minutes were nowhere near worth $ 85. Overall, I’d love to recommend this business, as I prefer supporting small businesses, but based on our experience, I just can’t. Another stylist/​artist might be better but as much as I liked Traci, she didn’t do what I asked & her work was not to what I consider, basic standards. The wedding was last weekend & I did my own hair & makeup… my makeup looked exactly like the picture I was using for reference (amped up a bit for pictures of course) and I changed the way I did my hair as I did it myself but it still looked better than it did from the trial run. If nothing else-​do a trial run & plan for ample amount of time to go back & fix things.

When looking for hair stylists and a makeup artist for my wedding, I was a little hesitant to contact Pacific Artistry due to the negative reviews on multiple sites.
As many other reviews states, I had immediate contact with Shanelle, the owner, who answered my questions with promptness and interest. After checking with a friend, who had been in a wedding last summer where the bride had chosen Pacific Artistry, I decided to go with them. However, once I had paid my deposit, all email communications stopped and I had the hardest time trying to contact Shanelle. I had signed my contract, but Shanelle had not filled in the details, and each time I sent it back, it return without any information in it. I was concerned as I knew this wouldn’t be a binding contract without any of the information. My wedding planner also tried many times to contact her, and after weeks of trying, managed to get a signed contract the week before the wedding.
I was lucky as I had the fabulous hair stylist of Kat Green. She was consistent in emailing, set up my trial, and generally made sure everything was taken care of for the wedding. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been super panicked that there would be no hair stylist/​makeup artist on my wedding day. The positiveness of my review comes solely from her work and for her. She was a great leader with the other stylists that worked on my wedding. She is such a kind and funny person, making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
I highly recommend any bride to look her up (Kat Green Makeuplove) and use her services as a hair stylist and makeup artist!
I wish I could give a more positive review of Pacific Artistry, especially since they are relatively cheaper than most wedding hair stylists and the initial contact was promising, but had it not been for Kat, I would have found someone else as I could not guarantee services on my wedding day.

Initially I wasn’t going to get my hair professionally done, but a few weeks before the wedding, I changed my mind. Pacific Artistry had some of the best reviews, so I emailed Shanelle, and luckily, Kat Green was available for my wedding day!
I would give 5 stars, but I have to admit that while Shanelle communicated with me immediately after my initial inquiry, right after I paid a deposit and was trying to schedule the trial appointment, Shanelle went radio silent, and Kat was difficult to reach. There seemed to be communication issues at every level, which caused some anxiety for me at first, given my tight timeline (partially my fault for waiting so long, but still…).
But then, Kat arrived at my house for my trial day, just 2 days before the wedding, and she was fantastic! She is smart, fun, personable, and very sweet; just the kind of person you want to be hanging out with while you get your hair and makeup done. Kat is a true artist: creative, thoughtful, and experienced. Her work demonstrated to me, without a doubt, why we hire professionals for hair and makeup. I had a few ideas; she checked out my hair and pictures of my dress and got a sense of the look I was going for. She had great ideas of her own that complemented mine, and we ended up with a look that suited me more than I could have imagined!
I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup on my wedding day, but most importantly, I loved the way Kat made me look like the best version of myself, and that it stayed all night! She also did my bridal party’s and my mother’s hair and makeup – all in one day, and they looked so beautiful!
I would recommend Kat Green 100 times over. She is awesome!

Shanelle did a fantastic job on my hair & makeup and on my 3 bridesmaids hair. We all looked amazing. She really knows what she’s doing! She’s so down to earth too, which made me feel really comfortable! She worked quick on the day of the wedding, we actually finished before the guys! So grateful that I went with Shanelle.

Pacific Artistry is fantastic!!! When I first found them I contacted the owner Shanelle and had a ton of questions for her. She quickly responded to each and every one of my questions in a super friendly manner.
Months later when she came over to my house for the hair and makeup trial run we had a blast together. In fact we laughed and chatted for at least an hour before we even started the trial run. We got so distracted just having a great time together. The hair and makeup looked great. I only had one concern about my makeup and Shanelle was so wonderful and understanding with me to try and figure out what I wasn’t happy about.
She came directly to the hotel where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready, she did all of my bridesmaids hair, and two of their makeup as well. All of the girls hair looked amazing, and the makeup that she did was so great too. My hair looked amazing and she did exactly what I had wanted for my makeup, with the changes I wanted since the trial. The whole time she was laughing and having a blast with all of us. It felt more like a friend helping us than using a business.
I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this company. Shanelle is an absolute joy to work with, and I hope that I get to talk with her more even outside of the business.

Pacific Artistry did hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law and they were great! I LOVED my hair and makeup and it lasted throughout the night (and I didn’t do airbrush– I don’t like the look on me). Shanelle was great to work with and it was so nice to have her and her two other artists come on site to us in the hotel. We were lucky to be running ahead of schedule and they did touch ups for anyone who wanted one before we headed out the door.
I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding who used PA and everyone’s hair and makeup looked beautiful for that as well.

Pacific Artistry is wonderful! I researched a few different hair & makeup vendors for my wedding in Seattle and ended up going with PA both because it was super affordable (compared to others) to have them come to the venue and do both hair & makeup for all 6 of my maids, myself, and my mom AND they had stellar reviews. Shanelle, who owns the company, and one of her girls came right on time for both the trial run and the day-​of and everything went perfectly. She totally got the «vintage glam» vibe of the wedding and selected hairstyles for everyone that were perfect for both the individual and the theme. Many of the girls came in with partial or no idea what they wanted and ended up with something we all loved. Some girls knew exactly what they wanted, and got that as well! The makeup was wonderful, very natural looking and enhancing of everyone’s features without looking tacky or overdone. I was complimented all night on hair & makeup. Shanelle and her assistant are AMAZING and it was a blast to work with them, we bonded quickly and it felt like my best friend was over hanging out and doing my hair & makeup. HIGHLY recommend these guys!

Fantastic professional service. Shanelle did an amazing job and just about each one of my guests raved about my hair and makeup! Thank you for making my big day so special!

I had a wonderful experience with Pacific Artistry. I dealt directly with Shanelle and found her always accomadating and responsive. She did have to push back my trial appointment last minute, but was very apologetic and kept me very informed. After reconfirming a time, she showed up on time as promised.
On the day of my wedding, the team was promptly at my door at 7am. I hired Shanelle and an extra assistant. To make sure everything was smoothly on time, she showed up with an additional assistant without additional charge.
I had 9 people total and they were right on schedule and had us done on time. everyone loved their hair and makeup. The whole experience was tons of fun. It felt like hanging out with friends.
I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. I got so many compliments. Also I cannot say enough for the value of having the team come to me. Their prices are very reasonable considering the service they provide. I would like to also mention, my whole group was Asian and they did a great job, which for other stylist/​artists is not always the case.

Shiree Collier of Pacific Artistry is FABULOUS. Super fun and awesome and easy to communicate with — very receptive and totally positive. She did a flawless job on my bridal hair and makeup and stood by throughout photos to jump in and adjust as necessary. The bridesmaid she styled looked BEAUTIFUL and my mom loved her as well! And our photos look amazing! Thanks Shiree!
I will mention that there was a bit of a booking snafu with the company that happened a month or so prior to my wedding day (communication issue with the person I’d originally booked and they had to do some last minute scrambling to find me a replacement). However, Shanelle (the owner) was really gracious and accommodating, worked REALLY hard to make sure I was covered, and gave me a $ 50 discount for the inconvenience.
Would definitely recommend them! Shiree especially!

One of my best friends got married this past weekend. On one of the biggest days of her life she was counting and relying on Pacific Artistry to take care of her hair and make up needs. At the scheduled time, Amanda S never showed up.
My friend frantically tried to get in touch with the company, and finally heard back many hours later and was stunned to hear the owner essentially say she is out of luck and there was nothing they could do. Really? She paid a deposit and scheduled the appointment way in advance and now you clowns are going to leave her high and dry on her wedding day!!!
She still hasn’t received her money back and she was forced to go to Gene Juarez to get ready, an additional expense to her.
If you are a bride and want reliable service on your wedding day stay clear of Pacific Artistry.

I loved working with Shanelle at Pacific Artistry! I was looking for someone who would come do our hair and makeup at the hotel, and Shanelle is exclusively on-​site. She was very responsive, helped me find a great look that I loved, and was a joy to be around. She made me and my girls look and feel fabulous on the day of the wedding. Highest recommendations!

I used Pacific Artistry for my wedding on Saturday. There are Pros and Cons to using them.
Pro: The overall pricing is beyond good compared to most mobile hair and makeup artists in the Seattle area, making it really easy for me to afford having my hair and makeup done on location.
Con: When I signed the contract, the price to have my maid of honors hair and makeup trail run was I believe $ 60 + tax. The price apparently went up to a flat $ 75, and when I was told of this I felt that the original price should have been honored. Shanelle blatantly told me, «Well, the price is $ 75 now.» Its not too much of a difference, but I still felt like original prices should have been honored, or at least more explanation/​sympathy for your paying customer should have been given.
Pro: Pacific Artistry is solely a mobile service, meaning that any service they provide is done anywhere you need it to be done. For example, we had our trial hair and makeup done at my best friends apartment.
Con: My make up artist was an hour late to the trial!
Pro: She was very apologetic about it, and she was on time (even about 10 minutes early!) on the wedding day which leads me to believe that it was just a one time mistake being late.
Pro: Shyn was amazing to work with. She’s very outgoing and easy to talk to. Also, I felt like I looked amazing on the day of. And my makeup lasted ALL. DAY. LONG. (which I for some reason can never get it to do). My hair also lasted the entire event, even when I was dancing and getting all sweaty! :)
Con: None here! My hair was too curly during the make up trial with her putting mousse in it, and she remembered the day of to not put mousse in it, and it looked amazing!
And honestly, looking and feeling amazing on your wedding day is the most important thing than anything else, which PA was able to do for me.
All in all, I really really really enjoyed working with Shyn enough that even these small cons wouldn’t stop me from using PA (or just Shyn’s services) again if I ever needed to!

I went with Pacific Artistry after a lot of searching. Since I wasn’t paying for my girls to get their H&M done, PA was one of the cheapest options out there for them if they wanted to use it. Which one of my bridesmaids decided to do. They also had great prices for the bride and traveled, all things I was looking for.
Kat was my stylist. She was great! I showed her one hairstyle that I liked a lot for the trial, and when she did it on me, I realized it wasn’t my style. She worked with me to find something that would make me happy on my wedding day. I felt bad making her redo my hair, but she had a good attitude about it through the whole thing, and I came out of it feeling WONDERFUL.
Kat is also really relaxed and easy to talk to, so even though you may be nervous, she makes you feel a little more relaxed both during the trial and the day of.

Shanelle is so helpful and caring. She set me up with Kat Green and she is a great makeup artist and awesome person. My wedding day was amazing. Kat and Shanelle are the best!

Shanelle is amazing! We hired her to do our hair and makeup for my wedding. She worked on myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. I loved her positive attitude, ease, and honesty. She worked well with all of us and wasn’t upset or mean when someone wanted to put some input into the process. Working with Shanelle was like hanging out with one of my best girlfriends. I felt so pretty after her work and I loved staring out at my bridesmaids because they all looked GORGEOUS. She also brought along an assistant, Kelly, to help with makeup and she was just as lovely as Shanelle. Getting ready with Pacific Artistry was a great way to relax before my big moment!!!

I had Shanelle do my hair and make-​up for my wedding as well as my mom’s make-​up and both of my bridesmaids’ hair.
1. My first meeting with Shanelle was great – we met at the trial run and she did a great job listening. I felt extremely comfortable and was so glad with the way it turned out. I didn’t worry too much about what I was going to look like the day of my wedding.
2. I decided to change my make-​up and hair right before the wedding, but Shanelle was super calm and collected about it all and was so willing to work with me on what I wanted exactly.
3. My mom doesn’t wear a lot of make-​up and when she does she goes natural. Shanelle made my mom feel comfortable and look natural for the wedding and I know my mom was very impressed with the way things turned out.
4. The morning of the wedding, Shanelle showed up at our house right on time, got started and just made my wedding day that much more special with her care and great spirit.
I would totally recommend Pacific Artistry to anyone – prices are reasonable and it’s a great experience all around.

I was lucky enought to have my make-​up done by Pacific Artistry twice. Once by Shanelle when my best friend got married and once by Nika when I got married. (Don’t be confused by the username, I am using my husbands account!)
Shanelle was wonderful! She made us all laugh and feel super comfortable! Our make-​up was amazing. The only thing I altered after having my make-​up done is adding a touch more mascara… I love mascara!!! My make-​up stayed on all day and I didn’t need to touch it up once!!! I loved the entire experience so much, I booked them two years later to do my make-​up for my wedding day!!!
Shanelle was booked on my day, so she sent Nika! Nika is equally as wonderful as Shanelle. She is fun and easy going. I wanted to hang out with her afterwards!!! She came to my parents’ house the week before to do a run-​through and she really listened to what I wanted. She matched the make-​up so close to my skin tone, it looked like I wasn’t wearing anything at all (in a good way)! The airbrushed make-​up stayed on all day, even through sweating and crying! I didn’t need to touch up my mascara because Nika loaded my lashes (fake!) down to my liking!
On the day of my wedding, she did my make-​up, 6 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and a grandma! She was a little slow, focusing on perfection, but every girl looked natural and beautiful (even my 83 year old granny)! Everyone loved her! She is a wonderful artist and someone you want to have a cocktail with after.
There was a small price dispute, but Shanelle was quick to make the change. I would recommend Pacific Artistry, Shanelle, and Nika for anyone getting married or wanting to have their natural beauty enhanced for a special occasion.

My sister used this company for her hair and makeup for her engagement photos and loved them so I reccomended them to my best friend for her wedding day. The artist was an hour and a half late! She had the bride wake up at 5:20 then didn’t show up until 7am. There was more than one price dispute and the artist told each bridesmaid, including the bride the reasons why she couldn’t make their hair look the way they wanted. The owner Shanelle is awesome, though, and did everyhing in her power to make the situation better including a reduced price for the bride and not charging one bridesmaid who hated her hair so much she took it down. I’m sure the problem was just one artist but it was all any of the girls could talk about and I was sure bummed I had reccomended them :(All in all a pretty bad experience!
