About

Maison Atelier was founded by Jahara Jennaé and is run as a beauty house modeled on the traditional European atelier, with an emphasis on custom, considered work. Destination weddings and extended out-of-area bookings can be arranged on request.

The business describes its founder as an acclaimed artist. Each makeup look is built for the individual client, and inspiration photos are used as a starting point rather than a formula. Services are approached as a collaboration, with a focus on balance and longevity rather than trends, and the business describes its work as refined and designed to photograph well.

Bridal work covers the bride, bridal party members such as bridesmaids and mothers, and family and guests. A bridal signature experience includes wedding-day service with selected enhancements, bridal preview appointments are available once a booking is made, and on-site touch-ups can be added after the first services. Additional looks can be booked between the ceremony and reception or at any point in the day.

Personal occasions include birthdays, photoshoots, formal events, baby showers and wedding-related events such as bridal showers, bachelorette parties and rehearsal dinners. Makeup is offered in natural, soft glam and full glam styles, and hair services include full head styling, Hollywood waves, extension placement and blow dry service, with hair also available as an add-on to a makeup booking.

Classes include the one-hour Technique Study on a single chosen area of makeup, the two-hour Makeup Method covering a natural to soft glam look, and Girls Night In, a private group lesson for three or more people hosted in a home or private space. Classes can be paired with a personalized shopping session at Sephora or Ulta.

Production work covers commercial and editorial makeup, makeup for TV, film and digital shoots, talent grooming and touch-ups, and branding shoots and content days. Crews can be scheduled for early starts, extended shoot days and on-set touch-up coverage when a production needs it.

Each booking is treated as a collaboration with the client, with attention to balance and longevity over trends, and a guided process for clients who are unsure which service fits.
