The LE Glam Team was amazing to work with for my wedding day! Their communication was prompt, accommodating and they made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From the trial run, Erin and Lisa listened to my ideas but also provided helpful suggestions, to the wedding day itself, their work was truly so professional and organized. On the wedding morning, they were even able to accommodate my elderly grandmother who wasn't originally part of the schedule, making her feel confident and beautiful. One of the best parts is I didn't need to touch up my makeup at all - it lasted all night long! With nerves high the morning of the wedding, they made me feel so relaxed and comfortable because I completely trusted them. I felt absolutely stunning, and I'm so grateful to the LE Glam Team for making me feel important and giving me one less thing to worry about from start to finish. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for a reliable, top-notch beauty team who makes you feel gorgeous for your special day.

    Barbie’s makeup application is absolutely flawless! Her professionalism and dedication to her trade is truly admirable. I’ve seen many MUA throughout the years, but they don’t come close to Barbie’s work. As a professional retoucher and photographer, I’m pleased with how minimal retouching is done with her clients. The skin tones are perfect and matched perfectly, which makes the editing process much smoother. I highly recommend Boss Beauty for all your makeup needs.

We did a trial run and it was just beautiful and they accepted and wanted feedback from the trial. They asked for inspiration pictures and were able to achieve the look I was thinking of. As someone with naturally curly hair, looking for a hair stylist that understands and can make my hair look good was something important for me. Prior to wedding day, they asked for inspiration pictures from the bridesmaids. There were 7 girls getting hair and makeup or just one service. The stylist had schedules and we were able to have everyone done in time. We had a great morning with Michelle and Monique and we all looked so great all day long. The airbrush makeup is in fact cry proof. So glad to have found a glam team that was understanding, fun, professional, and amazing !

For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Rie was a lifesaver! I had initially reached out to a different vendor in September of 2024 and we had an ongoing conversation while I considered pricing through November. We had a verbal agreement to work together but before she sent me her contract she ghosted me. I thought it was because the holidays were coming up and we all get busy at the end of the year. But mid-January come along, I had not heard back, and I was a little over two months away from my wedding! I reached out to a ton of makeup artists, and Rie was among the first to respond. She was so understanding from the get-go and her kindness paired with her makeup style was what sold me! Immediately, I knew she was who I wanted to work for. Rie provided makeup services for me and five of my six bridesmaids by herself. She was even able to work with me to find time to do a makeup trial despite both our busy schedules (getting married in the off season I'm sure helped). She worked so efficiently and even finished before our scheduled time, and provided us all with little touch up kits. I tend to not wear too much makeup and the same goes for most of my bridesmaids, and Rie was able to take her "natural makeup" style and personalize it to everyone. I only wear makeup on special occasions, and when I do, I tend to be hyper aware of my face and the makeup on it. But Rie's application was so good, that I did not think about the makeup on my face once throughout the ten hour day. The natural makeup style might not be for everyone, the same way full glam is not for me, but if you lean that way, I highly recommend working with Rie!

    Amber was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day glam. From our first communication, she was responsive, fun, and clearly an expert at her craft. On the wedding day itself, Amber made me feel comfortable and confident, like we were old friends catching up over makeup. More importantly, the final look was incredible - my makeup was flawless, beautiful, and stayed perfect all night long on the dance floor! I truly felt my best self thanks to Amber's talented work. Considering her skill level, her rates are very reasonable. Amber is a real gem in the wedding world. If you're a bride searching for a beauty pro, look no further - Amber will understand exactly what you want and make it happen!

    Beauty By Emily AZ was an absolute dream to work with for my best friends wedding day! From our very first conversation, the team was extensively communicative, providing detailed information and coordinating seamlessly to ensure the hair and makeup process went off without a hitch. On the day of, the stylists arrived early and worked quickly and efficiently to give us all a glamorous, clean, and perfectly organized look. We had plenty of time left over once everyone's hair and makeup were done, which was so appreciated. The girls were also so friendly to chat with - we felt like we were getting ready with a group of close friends. Beauty By Emily AZ truly went above and beyond to make us feel and look our absolute best for our special day. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    About wedding beauty professionals

    How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

    According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

    How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

    The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

    Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

    Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

    How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

    A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
