I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

The makeup and hair artist from Best Face Forward were amazing to work with!   They were great from the first phone call when I spoke to Kara and she put my mind at ease.  They are great at communicating, reply in a timely manner, and have a detailed timeline.  The forms that we had to fill out were super helpful in making it a smooth process.  My originaI hair and makeup artist got sick the day of my engagement photos and Kara was able to easily step in because of the forms.  I decided to switch my eye shadow color after my make up trial and Priscilla was helpful in figuring out new colors.  She was also helpful with figuring out which hair extensions and pearl bobby pins to buy.  Everyone in bridal party had different levels of comfort with hair and make-up, and everyone said how great Priscilla and Stephanie were!  We were even ready before the timeline called for!  I would definitely use them for my next event and highly recommend them!

I was attending a formal wedding in DC & needed an updo. I googled online and through Senema Beauty I was put in touch w Aida. We worked out the details via text. She came to my hotel & did my hair in about 40 minutes! It was the same price as if I had travelled to a DC salon!!! Totally worth it!! Took away a lot of stress & 2 Uber rides! It looked absolutely AMAZING!! It stayed up for over 8 hours & never lost its shape or styling in the back. Even with the 98 degree DC heat, my tendril curls that framed my face stayed curled with the finishing spray that she used. Aida is very talented and should be used for any event where you need a stunning updo! She was a true joy to work with! I wish she lived in ATL!

I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

She showed up early with a truck load of makeup and hair styling products and all in between! She made the entire getting ready experience AMAZING!!!! not only did she do an amazing job, but I was shocked to see my hair and makeup lasted all night long!! From crying, dancing my tail off…. Beyond happy!!! She even stayed to do as many touchups that needed to get done, and as you see from the video, she even stayed through ceremony! Highly highly recommend!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sandra and her team were AMAZING. Prior to the wedding day, her communication was prompt and consistent. Something people don’t typically warn you about vendors is you sign contracts and put down a deposit to book the service and they basically disappear for months until closer to the wedding. Sandra communicated this from day one and explained when she would reach out and what information she would need at that time, but that she was available for any questions in between that time. Closer to the wedding, we realized the morning of timeline would not work out with the shift in ceremony time. Sandra promptly arranged an additional person to insure there was plenty of time in between finishing up and leaving for the church. The morning of the wedding, her team was amazing. With the chaos that wedding morning brings, her team was calm and kept everyone on schedule. My hair and makeup turned out even better than my trial (which is saying something because the trial session was beautiful). All of my girls looked amazing and I truly can’t thank Sandra and her team enough for their amazing work.

I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!
