Jean absolutely crushed it with my hair and makeup!! She took the notes from my trial and completely elevated my look for my wedding day. I asked for a messy low bun with face framing pieces and pieces coming out of the bun and it held for the entire day. My hair is naturally very frizzy and she took extra care to make sure things stayed as smooth as possible throughout the day. My bridesmaids also had their hair done, and even though a lot of them had very smooth Asian hair, their curls kept for the entire night. I also LOVED make up - it made my skin look so glowy and didnt feel cakey at all.

Tai was my makeup artist for my wedding, and she was wonderful to work with - professional, on time, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. I was pleased with my final look and felt like a more glam version of myself, which was what I wanted. Five of us had our makeup done, and Tai took great care with each person, especially my sister who has very sensitive skin and my mom whose makeup preferences were more specific. We also loved the touch-up kits provided for each of us. Tai was open to feedback both during my bridal trial and on the wedding day itself (pictures of my trial attached - realized I didn't take a good plain make up shots on the day of). Since I don’t have much experience with makeup terminology, it took us a little longer to get to what I wanted for my eye makeup and lip color. Tai was very accommodating as we adjusted a few things together. Looking back, I think seeing some colors swatched directly on my skin earlier in the process could have helped, especially since as a non-expert, it felt like we were on different pages trying to communicate. However, that probably isn’t specific to Lovely Beauty and would’ve been the case with myself and any make up artist. In any case, Tai’s willingness to collaborate and make adjustments was appreciated. Additionally, the Lovely Beauty Team was responsive to my emails and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and I would absolutely recommend them to other brides.

With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos

I was really on the fence about booking a makeup artist because I usually prefer how my makeup turns out when I do it myself. That said, I wanted an stress-free wedding day, so I decided to shop around and I’m so glad I found Kelli. From the very beginning, Kelli was kind, professional, and immediately understood my concerns and hesitations. She never made me feel pressured and was very transparent about pricing, which was competitive and fair. I especially appreciated that she wasn’t pushy about collecting all the money upfront. I was able to put down a deposit and wait to pay the balance once I knew what my bridesmaids actually wanted (they were very indecisive!). I ended up changing the number of services multiple times, even past the deadline, and Kelli was incredibly accommodating and made everything work without any added stress. I’m an anxious person by nature and was worried I was being annoying with questions and changes, but Kelli was always reassuring. During my trial hair and makeup, she helped me feel confident and we created a solid, realistic game plan for the wedding day, which gave me so much peace of mind. The wedding day itself was completely stress-free and honestly perfect. Everyone finished early, which set such a positive tone for the entire day. Because of that smooth start with the MUSE makeup team, we were able to finish bridal party photos early and get to the ceremony ahead of schedule. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, not only on the wedding day but even afterward when people saw our photos. My photos turned out beautifully, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Kelli and the MUSE makeup team to anyone looking for talented artists who are professional, flexible, and genuinely caring.

Dan is one of a kind. Not only was he willing to come to me for the makeup consultation, but my bridal party needs changed a month prior to today and he made everything work. He made us all feel comfortable and I will not hesitate to book Dan for any makeup needs I have in the future!

I’m a licensed cosmetologist from Indianapolis who loves lace, peonies, dark chocolate, and love stories. I have been styling hair for weddings, proms, formals, and more since 2008. A few of my styling specialties are braids and working with natural curls, but my favorite part of this job is turning your vision into reality and customizing your inspiration pictures to fit your hair type and personal style.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura did a spot on job of bringing my vision for my wedding hair together! I asked for big 60’s/70’s hair and she did not disappoint with the volume. Despite me booking sort of last minute she was very helpful in fitting me in even for my trial run. My wedding party were all very happy with how their hair turned out as well.

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%.
