Coreene Collins Hair & Make Up

Coreene is delightful to work with! Even for someone who is as indecisive and picky as I am. It took multiple hair trials pre wedding day for me to pick a style, she was patient and understanding through out the whole thing. Day of, my hair and makeup was amazing! She is professional, timely and very kind. More...

Coreene was my saving grace!! I had a HORRIBLE test run with another vendor in the Portland area. After much debating, I finally decided to go with another makeup artist 2 weeks before my wedding.

I reached out to Coreene and she was prompt with with e-mail communication. Within 4 emails we had addressed what I expected from a makeup artist, what her standards were, what image I was looking for, the head count of my bridal party, discussed and reviewed pricing, and set an appointment for a trial run.

She was fabulous her approach is direct and very kind. During my trial she adjusted my hair 3 times in my trial as I was finnicky about my hair and I didn't want her to change a thing about my makeup once it was completed.

On the wedding day she and her partner in crime showed up to my room and turned it into a salon, complete with table, chairs, and lighting. She and her team were a great addition to the shenanigans for me and my bridal party the day of the wedding. Hands down, she was my saving grace the day of the wedding!! More...

I am so glad I found Coreene!!! I was so nervous in the months before my wedding I could hardly think. We met several months before the wedding for a trial run, and she gave excellent suggestions for taking care of my skin and hair before the big day and I am so glad I followed them! Coreene took everything seriously and asked thoughtful questions. Go time is when she really shines- detail oriented, prompt, easy to talk to; she made sure to have all the information she needed to get the job done perfectly and without a hitch. More...

Great work! She booked me very last minute (my fault for waiting!) and was absolutely amazing. I got Ann updo with a braid for my sisters wedding, and she nailed It. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she completely did exactly what I showed her. She even redid the braid for me when I wanted It a little bit different. Easy to talk to. Wonderful. More...

When I met Coreene the first thing I noticed about her was how kind, personable, and upbeat she is. I immediately felt like I’d known her for years. Coreene really takes the time to listen to your vision and turns it into reality! She pays great attention to detail and is very knowledgeable in the industry. She has wonderful tips on keeping your skin and hair looking fabulous. Coreene’s work is truly a form of art, I was so impressed! I have done hair and makeup many times in my life but I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. Coreene made me feel like a red carpet queen full of confidence on the happiest day of my life! I would completely recommend Coreene for not only your wedding day, but any big event for the best hair and makeup! ‍♀️ More...

Coreene's work is beautiful, truly perfect and exactly what I envisioned for our wedding day. She listened to what I wanted, natural and simple. I was thrilled with how great both my hair and makeup looked. She was great to work with as well! I live overseas, and our wedding was on the Oregon Coast. She worked around my busy travel schedule and limited time in the states before the wedding, plus she traveled to the coast. She helped make the day and whole process seamless! More...

I have known Coreene for years and finally after moving back to the Portland area I was able to see what she was like in her field. I hired her for my wedding hair and makeup and I was truly blown away by the results. I told her I wanted to feel like a princess (as so many brides do) and she replied with "which one?" and helped me create my Belle-inspired look for my big day. She was calming, attentive, and helped me remember to drink water and eat protein before the final moment! What a blessing she was! After my wedding, I returned to her for a cut and color and AGAIN I was not disappointed. She asked a lot of questions about what I wanted, what kind of ideas I've been referencing, if I had any skin or hair allergies, and how she could make sure I walked out of her salon with the biggest smile on my face! I love Coreene, and as long as I'm in the area, I won't be going anywhere else! More...

Coreene was amazing! I came into town for an elopement, so we had no chance to have a real discussion about what I was looking for, but she still got everything perfect!

If it wasn’t for Coreene I don’t think I would’ve felt as beautiful on my wedding day! She’s unbelievably friendly and was an amazing resource for me. When I told her my goal for my wedding was to “feel like a princess” she asked me “which one?” And literally helped me turn into Princess Belle for my big day! She works quickly and efficiently. She even worked in an extra bridal trial for me when I told her I got hair extensions at the last minute. She never made me feel like a burden, and was so helpful. She brought peace to moments of panic on the big day too! She’s more than a hair and makeup artist.. she’s a friend. Not hiring Coreene will be a big mistake and I’m SO glad I did! More...

Coreene was awesome and absolute joy to work with. I wanted a natural look and she made it came true. My wedding day happened to be one of the hottest day (over 100F) and I had a outdoor wedding. I was worried that by the end of the day, with the sweat and all, I would look awful. But my makeup and hairstyle somehow magically stayed in place and no touched up required. Coreene and her assistant took care of everyone in a very organized and professional way (not to mentioned they stayed calm in a hectic day). Thank you!! More...

Coreene and her assistant Sarahi did hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. I met with Coreene a few months prior to do a hair and makeup trial, and I am really glad I did. It was nice to get to know Coreene before the wedding, and brainstorm on how I would look.

Prior to the wedding, Coreene emailed me a proposed schedule of getting everyone's hair and makeup done. This was so helpful in planning out the day, I am really glad she does this. Day of the wedding, Coreene and Sarahi showed up right on time and immediately proceeded to get started on people's hair and makeup. They ended up getting through everyone faster than scheduled, which worked really well for all the other things we had to get done.

Throughout the whole process, Coreene was really easy to talk to and overall made the hair/makeup process very stress-free. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a hair and makeup artist for any occasion. More...

Coreene is one of the best stylists I have ever been to (and I've been to a ton)! I eloped in Oregon but was living in Michigan when I was planning my wedding.

Coreene Collins was absolutely amazing and did everything past my expectations!
Prior to coming to her for my wedding hair/makeup trial i had a horrible experience with another makeup artist who just threw makeup on my face. Coreene on the other hand took the time to find my right shade, asked my experience about wearing makeup and made the experience personable.
On the days leading up to my appointment she was EXTREMELY flexible, i had changed my location in which I was getting ready about 3 times!! The day of my wedding reception she was on time, organized and professional. Not only did she made me feel special on this important day, she made everyone that she did hair/makeup on special.

Coreene was an absolute joy to work with. I was nervous to have professional make up for my wedding since I had never done that before but Coreene made me feel at ease since the moment I met her. I choose Coreene because I loved the natural look of her make up and she had such positive reviews. She was also very accommodating because I chose not to have a bridal party for my wedding and it was really tricky to find someone who would do a single person's hair and make up during peak wedding season. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. My hair and make up lasted all day and all night without the need for a touch up. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Coreene! More...

There were some bumps completely out of all of our control and she solved them and handled them professionally.
