Rare Bird Beauties was absolutely incredible for my wedding day. Jen did my bridal hair and Ioana did my makeup, and I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. They both made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely like myself. The entire team was also so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, which made the planning process feel seamless. On the day of, Jen, Ioana, Mei, and Isabel were all amazing. We had a large group needing hair and makeup, and they kept everything running smoothly while making everyone look and feel their best. They were professional, calm, kind, and truly helped make the morning of the wedding such a breeze. I cannot recommend Rare Bird Beauties enough!

Everyone was happy
RBB was a dream to work with! We had Ioana, Jen, and Francesca as our main team for the weekend and they truly outdid themselves. Every single person in the wedding party was happy with both their hair and makeup! They listened to what we wanted and executed beautifully. I have never felt more beautiful! 10/10 recommend this team.

The BEST Year's Eve Wedding Hair and Makeup
Rare Bird Beauties did an incredible job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Francesca and Courtney were an absolute dream to work with, and my mom, bridesmaids, and I had such a fun and relaxing getting-ready experience. Despite having a large group, everything ran seamlessly and we were even ahead of schedule the entire morning. After my hair and makeup trial, I went into the wedding day feeling completely confident, and I truly couldn’t have loved my final look more. My hair and makeup held up perfectly all day and night—even after taking photos outside in the cold on New Year’s Eve at Union Station and spending the rest of the night on the dance floor. My hair still looked amazing by the end of the night. I’m so grateful to have worked with Rare Bird Beauties. They made my wedding morning even more special, fun, and stress-free than I could have imagined.

Hire them the second you have an event
Highly, highly, recommend Rare Bird Beauties to anyone who has a major life event or even the small things like an anniversary. They are beyond easy to schedule with, get in touch with, are very up front about cost and will work with you and your schedule! They get along great with large groups and actually LISTEN to what you want done. Just the sweetest ladies ever!
