The Roxee Hair Group was absolutely amazing! I've never received so many compliments on my hair in my life—I honestly think the photos speak for themselves. My hair looked incredible, and it stayed that way all day. From my trial to the wedding day, I always knew exactly what to expect. The trial made me feel confident that we were on the same page, and I never felt hesitant to speak up about the little things I wanted adjusted. They truly listened and made sure I loved the final result. The same was true for my bridesmaids. Every single one of them felt comfortable asking for small tweaks if they wanted something adjusted, and the stylists were happy to make changes until everyone felt beautiful. What I loved most was that they didn't give everyone the same cookie-cutter bridesmaid hairstyle. They really listened to what each person wanted and created styles that suited their individual preferences and personalities. By the end of the day, everyone was thrilled with how they looked. I never saw anyone sneaking off to the bathroom to fix their hair, and there weren't any awkward bumps or hairstyles falling apart. Everything held up beautifully while still looking natural. As an added bonus, they offered me a blowout the day before the wedding, which was such a fun way to kick off the wedding weekend. I can't recommend The Roxee Hair Group enough. They're incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely care about making everyone feel confident and beautiful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.

Glow with Dej 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Hello, my name is Dejanira and I am a Twin Cities makeup artist. Something that separates me from the rest is that my style is very natural and radiant. When people think of natural they think light coverage but that is not the case. I provide the coverage you want but the finished look will not appear to be layers upon layers. What you and others will see is healthy glowing look, it will feel as if you are barely wearing anything at all. My goal is to have you look in the mirror and notice that it still looks like you but with a little extra glam.

I have to say if you want natural looks and beautiful hair to match, this place is the best all in one. My skin never looked better and it was everything I could have ever wanted. I highly recommend them for whatever you may need, especially for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
You cannot go wrong with Primped! I had Lindsay for makeup and Allie for hair - they were wonderful! They did my hair, 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and my mom’s hair. I cannot say enough about how great they both were! We were able to meet and do a trial before the wedding to discuss the look I wanted both in terms of makeup and hair, and they both ensured I was completely comfortable with the end results. All of the other women who had their hair and makeup done loved the end result. Allie and Lindsay were both excellent about ensuring everyone had as much or as little "extra" in their makeup or hair. For instance, my mother-in-law is not as comfortable with a lot of glamour, so Lindsay and Allie were great about ensuring her hair and makeup were more natural compared to some of the others. They are both also just such kind people who were a welcome addition to our morning of getting ready - everyone had rave reviews for them. Primped is a wonderful company with great people who work for them. My hair and makeup lasted all night and I loved the way I looked :) The cost is definitely worth it - you won't regret hiring them!

  • Serves Brainerd, MN for additional fees

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Kristy at Suite Seat was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Her communication was quick, clear, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was amazing - she created a beautiful, sturdy updo that lasted all night long. On the day of the wedding, she made my hair look truly special and I received so many compliments. I would highly recommend Suite Seat to any couple looking for skilled and professional hair services for their big day.

I used Simply Elegant Beauty to get my hair and makeup done for head shot photos for a new job. Kristen was great, very knowledgeable, fun & energetic.

I will strongly recommend Kristen and her team to anyone, of any age, for any event. They can make you feel, in my case, young again.
