I simply cannot recommend them more highly or thank them enough. They made me (honestly all of us in the party, but this review is specifically from me/my point of view) feel like an absolute PRINCESS! I generally don’t like getting my hair and makeup done; it rarely feels like ME. That day she both made the experience and made me feel completely differently. I cannot thank them enough for the magical look and accompanying magical confidence that came with it. To be clear though, my gratitude doesn't stop there. I researched and received quotes from numerous vendors. Kiss This was not only the least expensive, but they went above and beyond to get to know me, my preferred styles and ideas, and everythinggggg else you could dream of ahead of time (I was coming from out of town so couldn't do a trial run). Even more, our stylist was LOVELY! We had so much fun with her! Not only can I not ask for more, but I couldn't even dream of a better experience. Genuinely, with all my heart and with all my gratitude, thank you.

You deserve to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day. The Bridal Beauty Team offers luxury, on-location hair and makeup services designed to be calm, personalized, and truly unforgettable. With award-winning artistry, years of experience, and a genuine love for celebrating every unique story, our team creates timeless looks that feel effortless, radiant, and completely you. From your first getting-ready moments to your walk down the aisle, we’re honored to be part of it all.

Working with The Bridal Beauty Team was nothing short of extraordinary. I booked with them somewhat far out from my wedding, but my call with Kate, the owner, as a consultation was a match right off the bat. She got to know me as a human not just a bride, and took great care in my vision for my day. Gina, whom I sincerely apologized to for all of my questions and emails (lol) was SO incredibly kind and patient and made any updates to our contract or services any time I asked! Now, onto the artists: I had my trial with Jeannette, who made me feel so beautiful and comfortable, I knew we were a good match! I felt confident with her as lead artist! On the day of, Jeannette, Myriam, Jenna, Lorena and Rene all exceeded any and all expectations. There were a total of 30 (I think) services being performed and I have never seen such a “well oiled machine” of hair and makeup before. They took time and care for each service but also moved so quickly that they were finished early. We didn’t have to start at 6am with that many people, which honestly, was a huge concern. Everyone felt and looked STUNNING and I truly could not stop staring at myself after my hair and makeup were finished. Haven’t gotten all of our professional photos back, so including what I can! Including a before photo, an after selfie, an iPhone photo at the end of the night & one of my professional photos from afar so you can see how glowy and dewy she made me look!

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.

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 will forever rave about the LE Glam Team! Our day-of glam squad, Chelsey and Erin, put so much care and attention into making me feel beautiful, and I’m endlessly grateful. Erin was my main point of contact throughout the planning process, and she was fantastic, super responsive and organized, even from several states away. I felt so lucky to have her on my day-of team doing my makeup, and I truly felt beautiful but still like myself, which is exactly what I hoped for. I had my trial just a few days before the wedding (on Wednesday), and Chelsey, who did my hair, immediately recognized that my usual products weren’t doing me any justice. She gave me a personalized three-day hair prep plan, and by the wedding day, I earned an “A” from her, and felt amazing! I also recalled my hair change, I said, "feel free to just throw it on up," and she responded with, "you know I'm going to put a lot more effort than that." That goes to show that she cares about her clients and really made my power pony powerful! It wasn’t just me who felt beautiful, but my mom, mother-in-law, and sisters all said they’d never had such an incredible hair and makeup experience at a wedding before. Thank you, LE Glam Team, for going above and beyond, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    LUX and especially Paloma were wonderful to work with as a bride! It was hard to find companies who didn't require a much higher number of services (I only truly needed myself hair and makeup, but my mom also got makeup done and my MOH her hair), so when LUX had the reviews, the photo gallery, and didn't require me to get triple the services I needed, I was sold! My trial with Paloma was awesome and she was very open to what my level of makeup comfortability was, so knowing I typically don't wear much, she started fairly light then built up as I wanted more of a "pop"! The hair and makeup turned out exactly as I had pictured, and held up fantastic throughout the day; my hair comb only decided to try falling out because the succulents weighed SO MUCH and I was leaning back against my husband for pictures. I also felt completely at ease as a curly girl wearing my natural hair and having it styled, and Paloma worked great with it!

    I could not be happier with my experience with Palla Beauty. Nicole was so easy to work with from my first inquiry through the wedding. I wanted to embrace my natural curls for my wedding so it was important to me to find someone I could trust to handle curly hair. Nicole made me feel at ease (she has naturally curly hair) and at my trial I knew I made the right decision. She even emailed me ideas to help get closer to my hair vision in the time between my trial and wedding. She also specializes in natural glam which is exactly what I wanted- to look like myself, but enhanced. She brought Cassi for makeup and Nichole for hair for my mom, sisters, and niece, and they both killed it. It was misty/rainy all day and both my hair and makeup held up great.

I would absolutely use their services again and have already recommended them to friends who are in their bridal era. Thank you for helping make the day so special! Maria

On the day of the wedding, Haily made me feel seen in a way I didn't expect—she listened to what I wanted and delivered stunning, refined makeup that felt like me. She's a wonderful woman with beautiful work, and her attention to detail showed in every brushstroke.

    If this was the only section of my website that you read, I would want you to know that makeup to us is a passion, not just a job. It gives me the ability to help women feel and believe in their truest beauty. Our goal is for you to forget all of the lies society has told you, and to help you see that you are enough and you are beautiful. There is only one of you in this world, so allow me to show you that you’re gorgeous just the way you are. See, I told you, this is more than makeup, people!

    I can’t say enough good things about Veronica and her incredible makeup team. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to work with someone who had experience with all skin tones and types, and Veronica’s impressive portfolio made it an easy choice. She is warm, flexible, and her commitment to going above and beyond did not go unnoticed. On the day of the wedding, I had the absolute dream team: Delaney and Shanl. Delaney was a blast to work with—fun, focused, and so talented. At my trial, she really listened and crafted a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. She completely nailed it on the wedding day too. My makeup held up beautifully through lots of joyful (and tearful) moments, and I still looked stunning by the end of the night. Every one of my girls was happy with their makeup and felt confident and beautiful. I highly recommend Veronica and her team

    So let me begin by saying that my wedding was finalized in 8 weeks and I reached out to TBC with like 6 weeks to my wedding. Normally, they start working with brides 9-12 months in advance. Considering the situation, Anne (owner) moved things around and secured me a spot with the amazing Rachel and Sieana. When I tell you these ladies are dedicated to their craft, I mean it. They were so invested in ensuring I loved my look and that it was executed to my vision. They took feedback, went above and beyond (even gifting me specific products they bought just for me) and honestly, were so grounded on such a chaotic day. You are in great hands with these two. I really loved the multiple touch points of communication, clarity, and consultation. Through out the make up process, I was asked for feedback, provided with next steps, and was able to give my own input on what I was comfortable with. Same thing with my hair!! Both lasted legit until the next afternoon hahah not a smudge for my make up and my hair—mind you it is over 30 inches long— held its curl until the next day ((and yes I was dancing like a maniac)). Ladies, I was never confused, lost, or having to coordinate my own answers which you know is a blessing during the craziness that is wedding planning. 12/10!!!

    Danny and Paige are sooo talented! They showed up on time, listened to everyone's requests and brought each individual look to life. Scheduling and communication was amazing from the very start, and I couldn't be happier with the looks they created for me, my bridesmaids, and mothers on our wedding day. Wedding planning is stressful, but Danny gave me one less thing to worry about with how organized and professional he was. I trust him and any team member he brings with him and I will be looking for reasons to book Fine Line again in the future! See attached photo of husband who couldn't hold back his tears when he first saw Danny & Paige's beautiful work ;)

    From start to finish, Jaime and her crew were a DREAM to work with! Not only was I so happy with my hair and makeup, but so were all of my bridesmaids AND my mom and mother-in-law, and that’s saying something. Also, it was still flawless at 1am…trust me, you want them for your big day!!

    Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

    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%.
