Tiffany Kilgore Artistry

Marina Del Rey, CA
  • Starts at $600

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I've been creating beautiful faces for over 17 years and styling hair for over 5, blending my background at major beauty brands with my passion for bridal artistry. I specialize in creating looks that feel like 'you'--from soft and natural to full glam--while keeping your morning organized, calm and fun! I've always loved makeup and its ability to empower and build confidence, and I find true joy in helping brides feel their very best on such a special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was obsessed with my wedding hair and makeup. It was exactly what I requested (light coverage makeup that lasted all day and hair half up hair with waves that also stayed all day but wouldn’t get all knotted from a bunch of hair spray). I was crying or sweating for about 80% of the day and it all lasted perfectly without ever looking cakey/streaky/etc. As someone who never gets my hair/makeup done, I recommend doing a trial. I found I wasn’t super great at articulating what I wanted and my inspo photos were not cohesive. Tiffany was great in helping with each step and giving me different options! She is communicative and flexible. She’s also super sweet and relaxing which is the right type of energy for the morning of your wedding! I would recommend her to any of my friends.

I booked Hazel for my wedding hair and makeup along with a few bridesmaids/family and I cannot say enough good things! From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!

Juliana did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I felt so beautiful. She worked with me during the trial to find a style that fulfilled my vision and did an amazing job of integrating flowers into the style. We even changed the style up pretty significantly between the trial and day of and it turned out perfectly. I was so happy with how the make up turned out. I don't wear a lot of make up normally. I felt like Juliana did a great job of creating a photo worthy look that also still felt like me. Both hair and makeup lasted all day long! I was so happy to work with Goddess Glamour.

Mandalin Collective Beauty 

5.0

Austin, TX
  • Team of 12

You’re not just looking for a hair and makeup team. You’re looking for peace of mind- an experience that feels calm, organized, and completely you. At Mandalin Collective Beauty, we specialize in creating effortless, natural, and elevated looks that feel like your best self: refined, radiant, and deeply confident. From your trial to the final touch before you walk down the aisle, every detail of your beauty timeline is intentionally planned so your morning unfolds with ease. You’ll never feel rushed, overdone, or overlooked. Just calm, cared for, and glowing from the inside out. You are the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I know most glowing reviews start with, “I can’t recommend (insert name) enough!”—but seriously, I CAN’T recommend Mandalin Collective (MC) enough. Read on, thank me later. If you’re a SparkNotes kind of person, here’s the gist: Book MC. Every time you look at a wedding photo, you’ll think, “Woah, I looked GOOD.” Because you did. MC made sure of it. December 15, 2024—my wedding day. My hair and makeup stayed flawless all night: through happy tears, hugs, hours of dancing, and even a misty rain. I’ve never felt more beautiful, and I owe that to Mandie Murphree, the mastermind behind MC. From the trial to the big day, she thought of every detail, made me feel like a queen, and still surprised me with the sweetest appreciation gifts. The trial? A must. It let me tweak my hair, pick a lip stain that wouldn’t smudge on my husband, and gave me total peace of mind. Mandie’s attention to detail is unmatched. She created a seamless timeline for 9 bridesmaids, my photographer, and me—without stress or rushing. She was calm, organized, and a joy to be around. And just when I thought she’d done enough, she showed up mid-dance party to touch up my makeup. Now, here’s something unique—I didn’t just hire MC, I also had Mandie as a bridesmaid. She’s a dear friend, and I wanted her to enjoy the day with me. To make that happen, she handpicked Magdy and Mayra to handle glam for myself, my bridal party, and even Mandie herself! It was the best of both worlds—I got the full MC experience, and Mandie got to celebrate with me. Magdy and Mayra were incredible—on time, professional, calming, and the best energy to start the day. I cried 7.25 times, and my makeup stayed flawless. The proof? A photo of me at 2:30 PM during the first look vs. 12:30 AM post-reception. Still perfect. Fun fact: I actually debated on hiring MC—not because of quality (they’re top-tier) but because I wanted Mandie to truly be a part of my day. But then Zola (yes, THE Zola) recommended MC as a top pick, and that was my sign. Mandie and I figured out a way for her to balance both roles, and it worked out beautifully. One last perk? Airplane makeup. Yes, Mandie glammed me up before I jetted off to my honeymoon in NYC. Rockstar moment. Bottom line: Hiring Mandalin Collective was one of the best wedding decisions I made. Their professionalism, talent, and attention to detail ensured I looked and felt my most beautiful—something I’ll appreciate forever. So if you’re on the fence, take this as your sign. Book Mandalin Collective. You won’t regret it. Forever grateful, Natalie Neumann

As someone with naturally curly hair, looking for a hair stylist that understands and can make my hair look good was something important for me. Prior to wedding day, they asked for inspiration pictures from the bridesmaids. There were 7 girls getting hair and makeup or just one service. The stylist had schedules and we were able to have everyone done in time. We had a great morning with Michelle and Monique and we all looked so great all day long.

I can’t say enough great things about Amber. From the get-go, she was so warm, welcoming and so very kind. Through email communication to our first trial, it felt so natural and fun and I felt like we clicked immediately. Our trial was fun and she made me feel very comfortable to express things that I liked, didn’t like, or things I may not have been comfortable with. I made a last minute color pallet change from our trial to wedding day and she was on board ready to go. My nerves were so high the day and she was able to pull me out of my anxiety and nervousness and allowed me to take any space or simply acted as a really wonderful sounding board as I was expressing any of my insecurities. She made me feel strong and beautiful and she kept her positive composure throughout the entire (long) morning. Her second artist, Sandra, was a saint and really rocked it. It was really important for me to find an artist who works well with mature skin also, I wanted everyone to feel beautiful. My mom and mother-in-law looked STUNNING!

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%.
