When looking for hair and makeup artists for our wedding, we knew we needed a team who could accommodate two brides and 6 bridesmaids on each side. Even before booking, Carla explained the process and assured us that they could accommodate our large bridal party, and throughout the planning process they were flexible and helpful. For example, we had to reschedule our hair and makeup trial at the last minute due to a canceled flight. We had four artists on our wedding day (Kari, Taylor, Emily, and Paige) and they were all wonderful. Kari and Taylor did my wife and I’s makeup and hair and we have never felt more beautiful. Kari and Taylor also coordinated throughout the morning to make sure they were able to switch places since we were getting ready in two different spaces. We had a fairly complex getting ready situation and Alea took care of everything. We’d definitely recommend working with them!

Makeup Room is a luxury bridal hair & makeup team in Columbus, Ohio, known for flawless results and a calm, well-organized wedding morning. Led by award-winning artist Tanya, we provide high-end beauty services for modern brides who value professionalism and perfect timing.

With a full team of experienced artists, we specialize in larger bridal parties while maintaining quality, precision, and consistency. We create custom bridal looks that last from the first look to the final dance.

I live in South Florida and came to the Dublin Ohio area for a friend‘s wedding. I did some research beforehand because I knew I wanted a professional makeup and hair artist. I also needed someone who traveled as we are staying at a hotel and I didn’t feel comfortable driving anywhere. Then, I found The Makeup Room by Tanya. We texted in advance. She was prompt, reliable, and very communicative She also confirmed our appointment a few days before which I really appreciated, just because you never know. When I tell you, she was incredible, that is an understatement. Not only was she on time and so nice, she was ready and did an amazing job. I showed her inspiration photos of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like and she nailed it. She brought my vision to life and then some. I literally got compliments all night about my hair and make up. I felt so beautiful. When the party was over and I got back to the hotel, I honestly didn’t wanna take my hair or make up off lol I eventually had to, but the eyelash extensions ended up lasting two days If you are in the Ohio area and are looking for mobile hair and make up, look no further. She is a true artist and the sweetest. You can tell that she cares. She took her time, but was also really fast. The whole thing took less than two hours. Oh I also have really fine hair and was so surprised that my curls lasted until all night and by all night I mean until 4AM the next day. When I curl my hair myself, they fall out in minutes so that says something about her high-quality products and service. I also have very sensitive skin and had no issues. She is a true GEM. I am beyond thankful for Makeup Room by Tanya.

The Shy Effect | Skin & Makeup 

5.0

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $125
  • Serves Gahanna, OH

With more than a decade of makeup experience and over two years working in the skincare industry, I now specialize in luxury bridal makeup for brides who want to feel like the best version of themselves —not overly done or unrecognizable. I believe makeup should enhance your natural features, never mask them, and always feel weightless on the skin. I apply makeup with intention and care, offering a calm, detail-focused experience from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shy was so wonderful to our whole group! Not only did we end up having 2 extra ladies ask to get their makeup done, but she accommodated ALL of our makeup wants and needs (we had a large range of complexions too) on time. I had a tear-filled reception and was sweating buckets out on the dance floor all night but looking at my makeup, you'd have had no idea! If you are looking for someone who can adapt to anything, fit in with a fun (and a tad chaotic) group of ladies, and who is incredibly talented, I highly recommend you go with Shy.

We had a fusion wedding with two ceremonies (one at noon and one in the evening) and my make-up lasted all day and night! I also got compliments throughout, thank you Narbada! :)

She offered such a calming presence and helped distract me from the nerves, but also gave so much compassionate comfort when I needed that too. Besides her incredible demeanor, she DELIVERED!!! My hair held up all night and it still looked amazing two days later when I was on the other side of the planet in Greece for our honeymoon! All of my bridesmaids looked and felt so beautiful. We danced the night away and EVERYONE'S hair still looked flawless! Rachel is the real deal, and I am genuinely so happy that we got paired with her.
