In an effort to showcase each vendor, we sent them a questionnaire with 5 questions that should give us insight into their business, their values, and their personalities. We hope you enjoy.
1. How did you get started in the wedding industry?
"After working in a salon and at MAC for years, I realized how much I loved doing makeup full time. I ended up having a wedding that I booked just a few weeks before leaving MAC. After doing it I realized it was something I wanted to start pursuing more full time. Makeup is such a hard industry to break into, but I kept working hard at it and my business blossomed into what it is today. I am not not even in my 5th year of weddings, and I couldn't be happier to do what I love doing everyday."
2. What is your favorite thing about working in the wedding industry?
"I love getting to meet so many different types of people and personalities. I always say it takes a special person to work in the wedding industry. It is a tough industry with a lot of stresses, but it is also super rewarding. I have met some of my best friends since starting my business, and I am also VERY close with some of my brides. I love creating long lasting relationships past just doing their wedding makeup."
3. What sets you apart from others in your field?
"I feel what really sets me apart is my passion and drive for my business. I have high standards in business practices as well as customer service. I always hear that people love how quickly I respond to them when they contact me. I also pride myself on always being on time and keeping a timely schedule throughout the wedding day. I feel that I truly do shine in my talent as a makeup artist and it shows through my work. I have a very strong eye for detail and love taking my time and making sure each and every aspect of my makeup is perfect."
4. Best piece of advice you provide future brides?
"I would say the best advice I can give is really make sure you mesh with your makeup/hair artist that you are hiring for your wedding. They are with you for the most intimate part of your day; typically in the dressing room or place with some of your closest friends and family getting ready. Make sure they are someone that you can see spending the majority of your day with. Also, make sure you hire a professional that you know will be there for your big day and not flake on you. The last thing you want is to be let down, and without the makeup/hair artist of your dreams for your big day."
5. What are your hobbies when you are not working?
"I have always been the creative artsy type and love painting and drawing. I try my hardest to draw and paint when I get the chance. I also grew up as a speed skater, but haven't gotten to go in a few years. I am really wanting to go back and get into skating more. Most importantly, spending quality time with my husband and our kitty, Dixie(dissy darlin)."
The Rawwbeauty team consists of Jackie as outlined above and her lead hairstylist, Tammy Howell. In early 2012, Tammy graduated from Regency Beauty institute in Hoover, AL. While still in school, she was chosen to take part in Birmingham Fashion Week, in which, she was selected as a top 12 stylist and featured in their 2012 calendar. "I am so blessed to be doing something I love. I am still a little in awe when I get to do hair for professional shoots, or even music videos!"
