Terri Clark - Canadian Country Music Artist

Melissa, I would like to thank you for your great work on our "Terri Clark: Live in the Okanagan" special. Your hair and makeup techniques on Terri and her band really helped paint a perfect portrait. Terri Clark and her team at EMI Canada were very pleased with what you did hair and makeup wise, as was I and our broadcast team here at CMT. Truly great work!" With great thanks and appreciation, CMT Canada/Corus Entertainment (Bob Kane)

"Melissa is absolutely delightful. We originally had our wedding planned for 2020, and then postponed due to the pandemic. Her communication was impeccable throughout these long, difficult years. Melissa patiently waited until 2023 to give me the most wonderful hair and makeup experience. She was there early as I had a long day planned and was professional and kind throughout (she also has a great sense of humour!) The hair and makeup held up perfectly throughout the day and I love how everything looks in photos. I expressed that I was worried my hair wouldn't hold a curl, and she did some magic that made it hold soft ringlets around my face all day! It's too bad I'm only getting married once, because I would 100% love to work with Melissa again!"

Melissa did my hair and makeup as well as my mom's hair and makeup on my wedding day. Her work was AMAZING! She made my skin look flawless and both the hair and makeup lasted the whole day! I communicated with her via email and she was always quick with her response and was really easy to work with. She was on time and ensured her work was finished within the allocated amount of time which was key to my wedding day going according to schedule! Highly recommended for all the future brides ❤️

Wedding day Hair & Makeup

For my May wedding, Melissa did hair and makeup for me, my mom and my sister/maid of honour. The three of us have honestly never looked better! She listened carefully to what each of us wanted so that we looked great, but still looked like ourselves and were comfortable. Our makeup and hairstyles also photographed beautifully. Melissa is personable and friendly in a low key way that made the morning of my wedding so relaxing and enjoyable. She even came to the rescue in covering up the black eye the groom received the weekend before the wedding!

Cassie - Bride

Absolutely amazing! Very skilled MUA and her relaxed/happy vibe makes the whole process so fun and enjoyable. She did such a fantastic job on the makeup for myself, my mom, mother-in-law, and 4 bridesmaids. Everyone looked so stunning! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Melissa is an incredible MUA and hair stylist. She completed hair and make up for myself, my mom and step-daughter for our small wedding. I felt like I was sitting with a long-time friend. I gave Melissa a vision from a few Pinterest pictures and she captured the vision I was trying to achieve far beyond my expectations. She is one of the sweetest, calm and genuine souls you will ever meet!! Thank you for making me feel incredibly beautiful.

Wedding Makeup

Melissa Craven was wonderful to deal with. She knows her stuff and will make you look gorgeous, no matter how little sleep you have had the night before. Melissa was easy going, calm, confident, and she really put me at ease. She brought out the best features of my bridesmaids, and made my self, and my conscious mom feel like a million bucks! I'm so glad she was available to do our wedding make-up.

Michelle - Bride

Melissa, Just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic job you did with the make-up on my wedding day. Your professionalism and friendly nature made me completely at ease on the day. I will recommend your services to anyone who is looking for a fantastic hair and make-up artist. Thanks again, Michelle
