If you’re planning a Memphis wedding & are searching for the perfect hair & makeup artist, you’re in the right place! Great vendors make all the difference in how your wedding day runs — there are SO many incredibly talented hair & makeup artists in Memphis, but I had the privilege to do a shoot for these two ladies’ content/branding recently, so I wanted to highlight them :) Feeling your best & most importantly, yourself, on your big day is so important & that’s exactly what these two specialize in.

Made Up and Cuttin’ Up

If you ever have the chance to meet Charlotte, you won’t forget it! She’s not only incredibly kind & fun to be around, she’s SO beautiful! You can’t forget a head full of curls like hers :) We met at a wedding last year & hit it off — since then it’s been fun to get to know each other over coffee & shared experiences in the wedding industry.

Charlotte started Made Up and Cuttin’ Up based on her desire to bring a different outlook to the beauty industry in Memphis. She explained the name is a pun — a play on “making clients up” & “cutting up”, or joking around (also a nod towards cutting hair since she’s a hairstylist). Charlotte uses a personable approach with her brides to make sure their day is special, while also making sure they enjoy themselves through the process 😊 She believes brides should pick a look for their wedding that makes them feel like the best version of themselves — something just a little different than their usual daily look. Your wedding day is truly your day to SHINE!

Fun fact about Charlotte: In her spare time she loves to write fiction novels & draw the characters she creates in her books.

Jess Robinson Beauty

Jess’s work speaks for itself — she’s amazing at what she does & is truly a calming presence from the minute you meet her — & surrounding yourself with calming people on your wedding day is a MUST. Jess focuses on natural beauty & playing up her bride’s best features without “overdoing it”. She’s always loved hair & makeup & got her start when she danced on the pom squad at Mississippi State — she learned a lot while helping other girls before game-day performances.

After graduating from college, Jess went to beauty school & jumped straight into helping brides with their wedding day hair & makeup. Her biggest piece of advice is to plan a trial run — this time is key to figuring out what you like/don’t like & getting your look dialed in before the big day.

Fun fact about Jess: After a wedding, she ALWAYS goes to Taco Bell — it’s a guilty pleasure & completes cheat days in her book :) In her free time, she loves spending time with her family & boyfriend — they are her best friends & make her feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

Both Charlotte & Jess work to enhance the natural beauty of their brides — they strive to give them the best experience possible, which is why they each accept only one wedding per day. This is so important because it means you get exclusive, unrushed time — which leads to their best work 💕
