“The Bridal Glam Group Wedding date - May 8th, 2026 I discovered and hired The Bridal Glam Group literally 10 days before my wedding day... I was experiencing a major lack of communication from my previous makeup/hair artist which resulted in myself being an incredibly anxious bride! Within 24 hours of first messaging Erica (the owner), she met with me in person to discuss my vision, and got a makeup/hair trial scheduled. She even ordered and expedited matching hair extensions so that I could wear my dream style in time for my wedding! Erica did my makeup and SJ styled my hair; both looks lasted all night long and I truly felt like a princess. I received compliments such as, "stunning" and "breathtaking". Rachelle also helped with hair/makeup for my bridesmaids and their appearances held up just as nicely. I am incredibly grateful I found this amazing team of artists; They practice clear and consistent communication and are worth every penny!”

“I had a great experience with Beauty Unveiled! I reached out to Tia after cancelling my booking with another beauty agency. The other agency assigned me to artists that had a style that did not match my inspiration so I did not feel heard. When I reached out to Tia, she assessed my vision and paired me with herself which was awesome! I felt so much more reassured and glad I made the switch. During my trial she listened to what I was looking for and made the right adjustments from my feedback. I was also able to meet Kristen during my trial as well! Both of these ladies were so kind and definitely passionate about what they do. I highly recommend booking with an agency/team because you literally have a crew of experienced artists that can focus on their craft while the logistics are managed through the agency's coordinator. This kept communication and logistics so smooth and organized. I loved the online portal to keep everything organized as well! When we got to wedding day, Tia knocked out everyones hair efficiently - including mine which lasted ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT - literally did not move. I received sooo many compliments on it! Zalaiyah did all of my attendees makeup and they looked stunning. We were impressed by her color theory skills!
