Windy City Glam did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. Brittany made me feel so comfortable, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out.

Eva and Maria from Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD truly saved the day for us! The night before our wedding, when our original makeup/hair artist had to cancel last minute, Eva and Maria stepped in and worked their magic. Despite their busy schedule, they managed to fit us in and did an exceptional job, making us look absolutely perfect on our special day. Their professionalism and skill were evident throughout the entire process. We were impressed by their attention to detail and how they listened to our preferences, ensuring that we felt comfortable and confident with the final look. Eva and Maria's ability to adapt to unexpected situations like ours is truly commendable. Although the last-minute change was a bit stressful, the seamless way in which Eva and Maria handled everything provided us with a sense of relief and confidence. The only neutral aspect we would mention is that due to the short notice, there wasn't much time for a trial session before the wedding. However, Eva and Maria's expertise and quick grasp of our style preferences made this a minor concern in the end. In the end, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Eva and Maria's professionalism, talent, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a crisis into a blessing in disguise. We are incredibly grateful for their amazing work and would highly recommend Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD to any couple looking for top-notch hair and makeup services for their big day.

On the day of my wedding the helped me deal with the awful news that my venue would not be staffed for my wedding. They helped me get my mind off of all that and focus on my friends and the hair/makeup. We made the changes I wanted and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful in my life. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Were all different ethnicities, skin tones and hair textures and all looked amazing. They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue.

I had the most amazing experience with this incredible hair and makeup team!!! I have never felt more beautiful or confident than I did on my wedding day. Alina was my makeup artist. She was incredibly upbeat, silly, happy, and had great vibes the entire time. I am someone who is incredibly picky about my makeup, and even considered doing my makeup myself on my wedding day. I'm so glad I didn't. Alina was super receptive when I explained what look I was going for. She checked in with me every step to make sure I loved it, and made sure my makeup was perfect for my wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. I got so many compliments and felt amazing all day. Even through dancing and crying all day, my makeup stayed on and looked great for the entire day. My hair was just as stunning!! Sveta is so talented and can do so many stunning hair styles. I asked for a few small changes from my trial and she executed them perfectly to give me my dream hair for my wedding. They were on time, so professional, and so much fun to work with.

Anastasia really loves what she does and that shows. Her enthusiasm really shows through and she thrives in this environment. On the day of my wedding she was on time, absolutely focused, and made everyone look beautiful. My hair maintained its shape for most of the night.

My daughter used MrsHerculesGlam for her wedding hair and makeup a few months ago and looked absolutely beautiful. All of her pictures came out so perfect- looking like a magazine photos. I was so glad that my daughter found MrsHerculesGlam and knew I'd be booking her again in the future! After seeing her work, I knew I wanted to book MrsHercules for my upcoming elopement. Even though I wasn't having a big wedding, as an older woman, I still wanted to feel beautiful with my hair and makeup done for our courthouse wedding vows, downtown Tampa photoshoot, and reception dinner with family. Everything turned out perfect! First of all she came with everything we needed from all the makeup and hair products, styling tools, lighting and even a cute styling chair! It was nice to not have to worry about anything at all. For my hair- I shared photos from Pinterest to show the vision I had for my wedding hair. I was given guidance as to what extensions I needed to obtain that specific look, even the correct color when there were so many options available. It matched my hair perfectly and know one would have ever known that I had hair extensions in. The style came out exactly the way I wanted. I looked exactly like the photo that I had loved so much. She incorporated the fancy clip that I had purchased, and the long curls lasted all night long. I even looked great after I removed the extensions and rode out an additional full day with the curls! I was so grateful that the look held. I had an hour long photo shoot in 90 degree sunny heat and was sweating like crazy. The hair didn't budge, fall or frizz. I got so many compliments! Everyone walking by was complimenting my look, telling me how beautiful I was. I even had cars honking as they drove by! Afterwards, I looked great walking into the reception dinner with my family. I did not EVER have to touch my hair or adjust it. For a Florida girl with long, thick, wavy natural hair- this is unheard of in the heat and humidity! MrsHercules worked a miracle on my hair. For my make-up- my face lasted all day and night too! I was sure that it had melted off in the sun during our photos, but when we were done I went to freshen up and nothing had changed. I was still 100% perfect. What a relief! I was so worried that I was going to walk into dinner like a hot mess and I had nothing to worry about at all- MrsHercules had me covered! I did touch up my lips, but that was just because we had a bunch of photos of us kissing. She even gave a little touch up kit that was perfect. It had a little makeup puff with some powder and a lip touch up. My girl knew exactly what I needed! I cannot thank the MrsHerculesGlam enough for making my day unforgettable. I am so happy when I look at the pictures and see not only how beautiful I looked but to remember how STRESS FREE the entire process was and the fact that I didn't have to worry about touching anything up or fixing anything was PRICELESS. If you need glam services THIS IS IT! 100% recommend! You will not regret it. Do yourself a favor and book MrsHerculesGlam for your big day!

Johan did such a great job with my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was amazing to work with! When I wasn't sure between two hair styles for the wedding we tried both for the trial. She listened to what I wanted and was open to changes when I requested them. The end result was so beautiful and it lasted the whole evening! Johan is so lovely to work with, she is so kind and friendly and really added to my wedding day experience. I would absolutely recommend Johan to anyone looking for hair and makeup services.

I was also the personal artist and photographer of the late Iryna Zarutska, whose story touched hearts worldwide.

We had an incredible experience working with IBEAUTY GROUP for our wedding day. From our first conversation, their communication was clear and responsive, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. During the makeup trial, my wife was so moved by how beautiful she felt that she actually cried—we knew right then they were the perfect choice for us. On our wedding day, her makeup looked flawless and she felt radiant from start to finish. My wife was so inspired by the artistry that she's now interested in learning makeup herself! IBEAUTY GROUP truly made her feel like the best version of herself, and I was absolutely blown away when I saw her walking down the aisle. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

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%.
