Amy Merritt Hair & Makeup

I had a session with Amy to get ready for a maternity shoot and she was wonderful to work with! She was also very accommodating with challenges presented by weather.

Amy was very professional and provided several ideas for both hair and makeup. She was personable and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. I would easily recommend working with her for anybody who has an upcoming special event.

Amy did a phenomenal job in so many ways!! She arrived early, embraced & thrived in the wedding day chaos, she was very professional but so SO personable, listened to all of our different requests, took her time & cared about all of our hair/makeup but still got everybody done in a timely manner. I could not recommend her enough!

I got married on 12/31/22. I live in Texas and my husband and I were bound and determined to have our dream moment in the mountains of Boulder, CO. Because of this it made it difficult to find a trusted person to make me look my best on such a special day. I found Amy through a well-known local photographer based out of Colorado. There was a post made talking about how awesome Amy was at what she did. That was my sign. From the moment I spoke with Amy on the phone I felt warm and special. Trusting someone to do your most viewed part of you on such a special day is difficult yet Amy made me feel safe. From that moment forward she was amazing. She was communicative and flexible. I couldn't have asked for more. During this time she ran into the huge Southwest Airlines cancelations causing her flight to be late to get back to Colorado for my preview. Also on top of that her studio had a pipe break and she had no idea of the condition. Although Amy had so many reasons to cancel with me she kept in close contact and somehow made it all work. She set up a backup just in case which was so appreciated from a nervous bride's perspective. Her perseverance is so commendable. She didn't just treat me like a client, I felt the value she had for me as a person. I can read people very well and this women is a hard worker that truly cares for ever soul she works with. Not to mention the day of my wedding she not only did phenomenal on my hair and makeup but she also kept my bridesmaids talking. We all loved her! Amy is that person you wish you could be friends with because her energy is contagious and her heart is huge. When I think back to that special day I think of Amy too.

I’m so thankful I was able to work with Amy for my wedding! After my first hair and make-up trial with a different vendor left me with a bad feeling, I reached out to other vendors, looking for a better connection and match.

Right off the bat, Amy was quickly responsive to my inquiry, and our initial hour long chat immediately set me at ease. We discussed what had gone wrong before and what I was hoping for in my wedding look. Amy was very thorough in explaining her approach, and had even researched my photographer’s work, and explained how different approaches to make-up would work with her style of photography. My trial was a huge relief, as Amy was very open to feedback about what was working and what wasn’t. It was such a fun, collaborative effort that felt like hanging out with a good friend.

On the day, Amy was fully prepared (even there before us!) and created a beautiful, natural look, exactly what I was hoping for. We did not use foundation, but more of a lighter approach, and I felt so comfortable in my skin. My hair held up all day and looked just as amazing in the evening as when it was first done. Additionally, Amy brought along two amazing colleagues that helped with my girls’ hair and make-up - they also did an amazing job!

I’m so thankful I listened to my gut. Changing vendors 2 months out from the wedding was stressful, but Amy helped ease all HAMU-related stress I had. Thank you for everything, Amy!!

Listen here, ya'll... Amy Merritt and her 5 start team are THE premier hair and makeup artists of Colorado when it comes to weddings. Amy Merritt was with me every step of the way-- doing two entirely separate hair and makeup looks and crushing both. My hair was only described as "a work of art" by my bridesmaids. Amy Merritt listened to my requests for more subtle and natural makeup, and she absolutely delivered! Most importantly, I immediately hit it off with her when we did our trial for the wedding. Her presence the day of the wedding was that of a best friend- I truly wanted her to stay until the last dance. I am forever thankful for Amy Merritt!

Amy is absolutely amazing at what she does. I had the opportunity to work with her for my wedding, and she styled my hair in such a beautiful way with so little help from me! She knows how to really create the look you are wanting! I also utilized her for the concierge service, and it was amazing to have her there for me to change my hairstyle, and be a support system. She and I developed a nice closeness and I am so honored to have gotten to be with her. She helped keep me calm and looked out for me.

Amy is absolutely amazing! I could not be happier! From the initial phone consult to the preview to the big day, Amy went above and beyond to make me feel confident and beautiful with my bridal hair and makeup. She had great suggestions and listened to my ideas and made the whole vison come to life. She is very professional and uses high quality makeup with clean tools and equipment. She is also genuinely an awesome person to chat with! I highly recommend hiring Amy, you will be so happy you did!

Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional and prompt with all of her communication. She was so cheerful and excited to make my dream wedding look come true. My entire wedding party and family could not have been more blown away with her services. I loved everything about my look, and I have never in my life liked when another person has done my makeup, and I LOVED her work. A few incredible stand out points that blew me away beyond my already high expectations of her that I had from reading other reviews: 1) my mother has a very difficult allergy to deal with. It is a preservative in almost all hair and makeup products. Amy was not phased by this. She immediately said it was no problem, requested further detail of the allergy and continued on to complete incredibly detailed research on my mother’s allergen, compiled a list of products that would work for my mom’s skin and hair type that were allergen free. She sent the list of products to me with the ingredient lists included. She even thought of further tactics to help protect my mom against the airborne allergen in regards to timing of the other appointments in the day and location of the services. Her care and thoughtfulness was incredibly appreciated. It made me and my family feel very cared for with something that is very difficult to deal with. 2) She had no issues driving in the winter to Granby CO. She made arrangements to make sure she was to the venue early and that unpredictable winter weather would not be an issue. (February in the mountains in Colorado) 3) She was very accommodating day of. When the schedule was shifting and bridesmaids were not in their places etc, she rearranged with ease, keeping stress low and a positive attitude. Her cheerfulness and positivity was amazing and her calming attitude was just the vibe needed on my special day. Everyone was so thrilled with their final looks (pictured). With ease she was able to integrate the wishes of all of my bridal party, making each of their looks customized to enhance their beauty, yet keeping the overall look cohesive and natural did up-does and down hairstyles and a blowout for MOB. I could not recommend her highly enough. 4) She was able to work with met to get a hairstyle that would look good with a hat on for my ceremony and then with no fixing would look stunning after the hat was removed for the dinner and reception. Ie a hat hair resistant wedding hairstyle. WHAT?! But she nailed it. Pic of hair during cake cutting after hat and eating, 100s of hugs and dancing for reference of intact curls and lots of volume with ZERO primping after hat removal. Her pricing is incredibly fair for her spectacular work and professionalism. She was an integral part to making my wedding perfect. And my curls looked PERFECT after hours and hours of dancing, sweating, and sleeping on them. Many comments on my stunning and perfect hair during a family brunch the next morning which I would have never imagined possible.

Amy is a total pro, she wrangled my home haircut into a gorgeous wedding updo (my MIL said it was the prettiest she had seen). She checked in a lot to make sure everything looked good, and just helped me stay relaxed while getting ready. She's fun to talk to, and is just the best if you want a natural, polished look for your wedding. I still looked flawless when I got home, 12 hours after finishing hair and makeup (I was sad to take my hair down!) She was a delight from start to finish.

Initially, we were booked with another makeup artist that cancelled unexpectedly, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. Thank goodness the stars aligned and allowed Amy to swoop in and save us from spinning out. The initial trial in Feb. was full of laughter and we felt like we’d known Amy for years. Fast forward to June 8th, there was more laughter and lots of happy tears. My hair and makeup withstood all I could throw at it that day! My wife and I are so grateful for Amy and were in great hands on our wedding day.

Amy did a great job doing hair and makeup for our daughter's wedding! Her state of the art web site made it easy to work her throughout the process. And the hair and makeup preview session helped the bride perfectly finetune her look for the wedding. The bride and family members all looked beautiful. It was a pleasure to share the wedding day with Amy. We would highly recommend her!

I hired Amy to do hair and makeup for myself, my mom and MOH at my wedding and she did an amazing job. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She was so nice and made all of us feel special and made us look beautiful for my special day. I couldn’t have found a better person.

Not only is Amy a very sweet and kind person, she is very talented and so amazing to work with! She made me feel so beautiful and I’m so happy I chose her for my special day. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else! ❤

Amy was so much fun and easy to work with. She is a true gem (as a human and a stylist). She made my and my whole group look incredible for my day, and I can't recommend her highly enough!

Amy did an AMAZING job with all of our hair and makeup and she was so much fun to spend the morning with!! I wish I lived closer so I could use her more often! Thank you, Amy for making us all so beautiful!
