Our hair and makeup team from LE Glam—Nolyn, Natalie, and Karyn—were absolutely amazing! We had 13 people (10 bridesmaids MOB & MOG, and me, the bride) who needed hair and makeup, and not only did they finish early, but every single person felt beautiful and confident. The atmosphere that morning was so fun and relaxed. The team was incredibly friendly, and we truly enjoyed spending those special hours with them. The updos were perfection (a solid 10/10!) and they worked wonders with curly hair, making sure everyone’s style lasted the whole day in New Hampshire in July. I also LOVED my trial day. Doing a hair & make-up trial with a bunch of other brides was a highlight of my wedding planning experience. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and warm team to make your wedding morning unforgettable, these three are the dream team!

If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chrys was more than my hair and make up artist that day. She was my fairy glam mother! She stayed with me all day for touch ups (which my now husband really enjoyed receiving too). She would run over in-between a photo and fix a strand of hair, blotting some sweat, the little things that made my wedding photos truly perfect. There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering why did no one fix that piece! When she wasn't perfecting my look, she was an absolute angel and was helping me walk around with my extra long train and giving me pep talks. When we arrived at the church it all hit me, that the big day was here and I was about to walk down the aisle, she knew exactly what to do and calmed me down while holding a fan to my face for my make up to stay put from tears. She is truly the kindest and most genuine person. I was so lucky to have her with me during that moment! Now... for why you're reading this review, the hair and make up skill. 5 stars!!! Chrys is beyond talented! I loved her work in Instagram and reached out. The truth is, you never know what you're booking in the wedding planning phase. I saw she had an amazing portfolio and was reliable. I can say booking with Chrys was the best wedding planning decision I made! NO NOTES! I'm whole heartedly in love with my look and how it all came out in photos. She took the direction and feedback from the trial and perfected it on my wedding day, I was blown away! I seriously think she was reading my mind! lol. She hit every single detail, she helped mix what I wanted and what would last on a hot June summer day with ease. I felt like a princess! Chrys also did my mothers hair and make up. She's never had it professionally done and is very picky. My mom is OBESSESSED with Chrys and her work. She also said it was the best wedding planning decision I made. After it was all over, we agreed it was so important to have someone who was full of positive and calming energy as you're anxious sitting in the chair all morning. She was exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. A true full package, a fairy glam mother! XOXOX

I loved working with Corinne! She and Monique did the hair and makeup for my wedding day! They took care of nine of us (bridesmaids, mothers, and myself) with ease. They made us all feel so comfortable and relaxed the morning of and it meant a lot that they work with all skin/hair types! Corinne’s final work with my makeup and especially my hair was behind my wildest dreams! Highly, highly recommend her and her team!

Based in Charlotte, NC and New York City, I am a licensed professional makeup artist and hairstylist available for weddings and destination events nationwide. With over 20 years of experience, I create timeless and elegant looks for weddings, photoshoots, fashion shows, and special events. My European training at Dolores Academy, Makeup Atelier Paris, and ICONFACE shaped a signature style that blends luxury with natural beauty. In 2024, I worked with Miss Turkey at “Miss World” in Las Vegas, where my client was crowned the winner. I was also the personal artist and photographer of the late Iryna Zarutska, whose story touched hearts worldwide.

My mom and I had our hair and makeup done for my wedding reception. We did not do a trial due to me living out of state. My makeup was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted, I looked like me but it was enough to show up on camera. My mom was also very happy with her makeup. It lasted ALL night long! Also, the first makeup artist to use cluster lashes on me and I LOVED them!! So much more comfortable and makes your makeup more tailored for your face. I can’t say enough good things! I highly recommend getting your makeup done by Ulyana! My hair also did not budge the entire night!

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%.
