Bridal By Heather 
Rating: 4.6 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves South Portland, ME

I am a licensed Cosmetologist and have been a Bridal Specialist for seven years now (specializing in Luxury and Destination weddings)! Helping Brides feel like their most confident self on their big day is my passion!

I felt so lucky to be able to work with Heather Hider for my wedding day. During wedding planning I was incredibly nervous about the make-up, because I have had almost exclusively not great experiences when having my makeup done and do not know how to do anything myself. As soon as we had our trial I was so at ease, and it was such an enormous relief going into the wedding day knowing I was in amazing hands. As a bride you have so many details to worry about and it was seriously invaluable that make-up was not one of them. I so appreciated everything Heather did to make me feel comfortable and confident. I could not even believe my makeup on the day of our wedding, and Heather had somehow made it even better than the trial (which I already loved!!). If you are a bride looking for any type of make-up, but especially brides looking for natural make-up, Heather is a dream!

Anica did an incredible job with my wedding makeup, creating a natural, yet elevated look that lasted through a pre-ceremony rainstorm and hours of dancing. She made me feel gorgeous while still looking like myself and made sure my bridesmaids felt just as beautiful. She incorporated my feedback, offered helpful suggestions I hadn’t considered, and went above and beyond to pamper everyone, including my mother. Anica is calm, kind, and professional, skilled with a wide range of skin tones, and a calming presence amid the chaos of a wedding morning. If you’re planning a wedding in the Sunapee/New London area, she is an excellent choice!

Hi I'm Sarah! I am a Bridal Stylist and Colorist located at Rose Quartz Hair Studio in Leominster MA. I have been a licensed stylist since 2011 and I love being a traveling bridal stylist for New England! My favorite bridal styles to do are hollywood vintage waves, half up styles, and bridal buns! If you need anything done in the salon I specalized in lived in, low maintenance color.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah's skillset is an absolute 10/10. We first met at my trial and she was so open to hear my vision and make it come true. We also played with a few different "styles" to better fit the hairpiece my mom hand-made and my veil. Day of the wedding, she recreated everything we did for my trial. She brought on Lex as a second artist (who is also a gem of a human and 10/10 skillset) for the rest of my wedding party. Everyone's hair (bridesmaids, mothers, flower girl) was done in a timely manner and absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a nor'easter on our wedding day and so Sarah did a little extra to make sure my hair was weather proof - AND IT WAS! I have naturally curly hair and with the rain, my hair did not frizz, curls did not flatten, and hairstyle did not change! Even sweating on the dance floor did not change my style. It also felt "natural" and not like I had a stiff wig on my head (hair flowed when I flowed). She is amazing and I highly recommend!!

The quality of their work was high and they were fairly priced and flexible.

Can I just start by saying that Alex was the most kind and attentive person and I have truly never felt more beautiful than the glam she did for me on my wedding day! She is a true artist, easy to talk to, and had such a calming presence (which honestly is huge on the wedding day when there is so much happening around you.) Alex and her assistant Gia were so easy to communicate with during all the coordination in the time leading up to wedding. All of my questions were answered promptly and Alex provides amazing guides to help you get ready in the months leading up! I was in a unique situation where I was traveling across the country for my wedding in MA and needed to do my trial the day before the wedding. She was incredibly accommodating, and even personalized my look to be a bit softer so I could wear it out to my rehearsal dinner. I sent her the inspiration ahead of time and she created the most beautiful look for me and even inspired me to start wearing lip liner! Alex did an incredible job and managed to glam me (27), my grandmother (72), my mother-in-law (53), and my step-mom, (54) all different ages, complexions, goals, skin types, and desires, and she absolutely delivered! The looks lasted all night long, photographed beautifully and I cannot thank Alex enough! Definitely book her!!!!

The team’s expert artistry delivers looks ranging from soft, natural makeup to full glam and pair those aesthetics with modern, trend-forward hairstyles that beautifully complement each individual’s style. With a focus on collaboration, communication, and education their experienced artists take the stress out of wedding day glam.

As a wedding planner for over 14 years, I have worked with many beauty teams throughout my career and the team at KW Glam is truly exceptional. From our first outreach, their responsiveness is always outstanding. They consistently provide clear communication, quick replies, and thoughtful follow-through which make such a difference when coordinating with multiple vendors for one client. One of the things myself and my team love about working with them the most is their attention to detail. From supporting us by providing well-structured hair and makeup timelines to ensuring every service is tailored to each individual, they approach each wedding with professionalism and care. I can trust that they’ll show up for our couples prepared, organized, and fully aligned with the overall vision. My team and I always feel confident recommending KW Glam to our couples and genuinely look forward to every wedding we get to collaborate on together.

I have a passion for hair-mixed with bridal. I’ve been in the Bridal and Beauty Industry for almost 12 years. I’ve worked with multiple bridal styling teams. You name it I’ve seen it. I specialize in traveling to wedding locations to provide services to brides and bridal parties. I pride myself in a thorough consultation to ensure the bride is looking and feeling her absolute best on her big day

I don’t even have the words to describe how special it was having Taylor as my hairstylist and my best friend on my wedding day. She poured her heart into every detail and created a look that felt perfectly me — effortless, timeless, and absolutely beautiful. Beyond her incredible talent, Taylor brought such calm, joy, and love to the morning. She made me feel so grounded and confident through all the emotions of the day. My hair stayed flawless through tears, hugs, and dancing all night, but what meant the most was having someone I love and trust by my side. Taylor, you truly made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself — I’ll cherish that forever.
