Jo El is extremely talented and professional!! She is extremely patient and worked to get the look I wanted. Her makeup and application technique is top notch!I loved that she would study the different tones and color variations of the skin and used a blend of makeup to camouflage discoloration and enhance beauty. What's awesome is that the end result looks like natural skin and not "cakey" in the slightest. At the end of the night, it still looked fresh!

Loved working with Jo El. She came to my apartment a few months before the wedding to do a trial run. She took detailed notes and pictures so she could recreate the look on my wedding day. On the day of I wanted to make a few changes and she was great about it. My makeup was stunning.

Jo El done an AMAZING job. She is so flexible, professional, and so easy to work with. I changed my mind a couple of times and she worked with me to make sure everything was right. I HIGHLY recommend Ciao Bella Makeup to everyone.

Jo El and her assistant were an absolute delight to work with. Not only did they work patiently with me and my bridesmaids and mom to find the PERFECT looks for my wedding day, but they genuinely were excited for me. I think it's awesome when a vendor is absolutely thrilled for her clients and completely emulates that enthusiasm. At the same time, they kept us calm, on schedule, and tweaked our looks until we were totally happy with it. I've never felt more beautiful and I will treasure the memories we created that day; Ciao Bella Makeup, you are a part of those memories! Thank you so much- I definitely made the right choice when I chose you!

Jo El with Ciao Bella was a pleasure for me and my bridesmaids to work with. I had a large bridal party and Jo El was very accommodating with everyone as she brought along an assistant to help with all the bridesmaids. I absolutely loved the way my makeup turned out as I felt like I was glammed up but still maintained the natural look that I was going for. I would highly reccommend using Ciao Bella makeup to anyone as Jo El is very friendly, professional, and great at what she does. Thank you again Jo El!

Jo El did an amazing job on my makeup. When the trial didn't go as planned (I changed my mind constantly), she worked with me to make sure it was right. When I was worried about time the day of the wedding, she found a way to curb that stress by bringing an assistant. Her work was fantastic; better than expected, and she had a glowing personality that added to the excitement of the day. I would recommend her to anyone.

Jo El is fabulous!!! She is sweet and extremely talented! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She is low key and was able to accentuate my natural features instead of trying to over power my face with loads and loads of make-up. I was not able to give her any direction in terms of what I wanted or expected...but yet she was able to give me all I ever would have wanted and so much more than I could have expected. And amazingly, I still looked great at 5am when the party finally ended!

Jo El did my makeup for my wedding and I could not have been more thankful that I hired her. Not only was she easy to keep in contact with, but she was right on time and extremely down to earth and fun to work with! My makeup looked amazing and was flawless in all of my photos. I have received so many compliments on how great my makeup looked and I credit Jo El with making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and fun person to work with!

Jo El was absolutely amazing, we all looked like super models for the big day and she was there every step to make sure I was happy and that everything looked perfect.

This was the first time I had ever let anyone else other than myself do my makeup, so I was really nervous at first. But as soon as I met JoEl I knew I was in good hands. Her lovely personality put me at ease during the makeup application. I have red hair and freckles and I actually love them. So she made sure that the makeup accented the types of outfits I was wearing for my shoot as well as my red hair. I was also glad that she put just enough make up on to even out my skin tone but let my freckles show. I was very, very pleased with how my makeup looked! :)

Jo El and her assistant did the makeup for my wedding on 08/14/10. They handled me, 5 bridesmaids, and my mom and got us all done on time. I even changed the colors in my look a few days before and Jo El handled it beautifully. I absolutely loved the way I looked, my makeup lasted all night, and everyone looks awesome in the pictures. I would absolutely recommend her and her team. Thanks Jo El!

Jo El is friendly, professional, and efficient. She arrived on time to do my trial run, and was set up early on my wedding day. She responded quickly to any emails I sent. Jo El uses top-of-the-line products, and she is very meticulous when it comes to using clean and sanitized brushes, etc. She tailored my makeup to fit my look and had no problem making adjustments according to my preferences. My makeup not only looked great, it also lasted all day long! I would recommend her to any brides in the area, no doubt!

Jo El did an excellent job with my wedding make-up. I told her I wanted the natural look. She did a professional job and it came out looking natural yet radiant! I loved what she did, I felt beautiful, and I would definitely recommend her for any brides out there looking for a talented make-up artist who actually LISTENS to what you want! On top of that, it was the most relaxing, peaceful time in my busy day (her brushes are SO soft!) and it really put me in the right state of mind to go walking down the aisle with inner peace and outward confidence! THANK YOU JO EL!!

I booked Jo El Hall for my November 2009 wedding and was so pleased with her services. She is very professional, meticulous, knowledgeable and punctual-- but also has a great personality making this part of my wedding refreshingly stress free.She is a terrific consultant-was very open to my needs and preferences, but able to make her professional opinions known, explaining and demonstrating the best way to achieve the look that I wanted. After consultation she took detailed notes of the makeup she was using for me and took a lot of time to ensure we could re-created exactly on the big day.On my wedding day, we ended up in a bit of a time crunch, but Jo El was so great under pressure, calmly and quickly getting me and my bridesmaids ready in record time. And we got so many compliments on the makeup! I highly recommend Jo El for any make up service-she is very talented, very professional and a joy to work with."
