15/10 recommend BOL for your wedding. I am a SAPPY person and cried probably every 10 min for 3-4 hours at my wedding and my makeup looked truly flawless all night. Nicole was incredible, gave me the exact look I wanted, and somehow made it last through so many happy tears and some very sweaty dancing lol. Carmine also did an immaculate job with my hair and gave me the most elegant and stunning updo that looked perfect and lasted through crowd surfing, club after party, etc without falling out at all. These folks are professionals, y’all.

I've been a HMUA for a little over 14 years, worked in the big city (LA) and now back in my hometown raising our 2 littles doing what I love most! I've worked all over the industry! I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old. I've been a bride myself and can attest to the overwhelming mix of emotions that come with planning such an important day. SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so glad that we had Amanda as a part of our wedding day. Amanda was very responsive as soon as we first starting discussing on Zola. I was so glad she was willing to brainstorm and discuss with me on my vision; I especially appreciated that she did not shy away from styling my naturally curly hair. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Amanda and already loved the results. However, she went above and beyond in taking our notes from the trial to make the final look on our wedding day even more elevated! I also loved her touch-up kit and really thoughtful education on how to maintain the look throughout the night. Amanda and her team also did the hair and makeup for my family in the bridal suite. I have heard nothing but amazing feedback about their knowledge, work, and professionalism. The personalization to every individual to make them feel their best was appreciated by everyone. I would 100% recommend working with Amanda!

She was so flexible and creative, even my MOL who was not going to get her hair done decided to after seeing what Kelsey could accomplish! My hair is extremely fine and prone to knotting, so I was nervous to do a half up/half down with extensions but Kelsey's technique and products kept my curls afloat and tangle-free through countless hugs, dancing, and a convertible ride home. She brought amazing vibes to the morning, keeping everyone in good spirits. Thank you for everything Kelsey!

It was such a huge pleasure having Zayra do my bridal hair and makeup. From the jump, she was so sweet, professional, attentive, and extremely talented. Although I didn’t book a trial run, she absolutely killed it! She saw the vision and executed so well on all ends. The entire process was extremely smooth. Zayra also did hair and makeup for my mother and mother in law, both of which came out just as beautiful. Aside from the work itself, her level of communication was extremely appreciated throughout the entire process through and through.

I create romantic, polished designs—from soft, modern glam waves to intricately braided updos adorned. Every look is crafted with intention, blending sophistication, and a touch of timeless romance. My approach is deeply personal; I work closely with each bride to design a style that enhances her natural beauty, complements her gown, and lasts from the first look to the final dance. My heart is in making every bride feel beautiful as a whole, not just in the hair, but in the way she carries her entire moment.

Evelin and her team got me through my special, yet chaotic, wedding. They were super efficient, fast, and super detailed.

Makeup artistry is a passion for me. I love being a part of such a special day! With years of experience, I love working with my clients to create their desired look that will leave them feeling beautiful and confident. I am an on location MUA which means I go to you! I believe all brides should feel pampered and worry free on their big day!

I am a minimal makeup girly but when my wedding day was coming up, I wasn't sure whether I should go the DIY route (as was most of my wedding), until a friend recommended Santana. Makeup by Santana was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very beginning, Santana's communication was clear, consistent, and she was open to my ideas, while also helping me narrow down and paint the picture of the look I was going for. Santana asked thoughtful questions during our trial makeup and then again on wedding day about the looks we had discussed prior, but was she was also assertive in guiding me towards the perfect beauty look (i.e., making minor changes such as lashes and asking if I was still okay with a certain look, color, etc.). On the day of, Santana made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to work her magic and create a flawless makeup application that lasted all night long. The quality of Santana's work was truly exceptional and worth every penny - I've never felt more glamorous! I would highly recommend Makeup by Santana to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and communicative beauty team to be part of their special day.

I truly could not have been happier with my wedding makeup, working with Annaliza and the MakeYourselfUp team was one of the best decisions I made for my big day. I was initially worried about looking too “caked on” or overly done, especially around the eyes, but she completely understood my concerns. During our trial, she took the time to listen, adjust, and collaborate with me until we created a look that felt like the most beautiful version of myself. On the wedding day, she arrived early, calm, and fully prepared, which made the entire experience feel so seamless and stress-free. She recreated my look perfectly, and I didn’t need to change a single thing. My makeup lasted all day and night, it looked just as flawless at the end of the celebration as it did when I first walked down the aisle. She also created a stunning look for my Maid of Honor and my mom, and her team also took care of my bridesmaids and everyone in my entourage with such incredible skill and care.

I would highly recommend Taylor and her team. I’ve never felt more beautiful than what The looks. She has given me. I have been using her for years for engagement photos maternity looks as well as occasional events. She never lets me down and is always sensitive to all of my needs and looks!

I'm new to Zola, but not to Bridal Hair! With 17 years dedicated to crafting beautiful hair, and 8 of those in Bridal styling. My experience aids to specializing in varying styles - from vintage, to boho, to a modern esthetic. Recently, my partner and I made the exciting move to Portland from San Francisco. I can’t wait to discover all the stunning wedding venues the PNW has to offer! When I'm not doing hair, you can find me trying a new coffee shop, making kombucha, or hiking with my husband and our dog, Livia. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I loved working with April for my wedding! She was easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling, and her work held up to a longgg night of dancing. She did an amazing job combining my multiple inspo pics to create a look I loved, literally nothing I would have changed about it. She set a great tone for the day, and did wonderful work on my bridesmaids, mom, and aunts, everyone was raving about their hair all night! I would absolutely recommend April to other brides.

Thao and Thy transformed me, my mom, and my entire bridal party for my big day! They ensured that our hair stayed curled for the entire day (impressive). Thao’s attention to detail was much appreciated for my wedding makeup look- she trimmed my hair to perfect the length and switched the type of lashes to fit the look. I cried A LOT the whole day but my makeup looked great at the end of the night! I am so thankful for Thao and Thy’s expertise.
