Noelle is awesome! She clearly cares a lot about her business / customer service, and was very quick and generous in correcting a couple of minor hiccups that came up during our hair/makeup trial process. She was a pleasure to work with and I loved how my bridal hair/makeup came out! My friends were happy with the other hair and makeup artists who she worked with on the day as well.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Abby at a vendor event and never looked back! She styled me months before my wedding to get me to my hair goals!! From the first time in her chair I felt as if we’d known each other for years. We talked nonstop and I felt so comfortable! I trusted her judgement and expertise. Abby styled my bridal party for my wedding and knocked it out of the park. We loved the airbrush and that stuff didn’t move for me all night long after sweating my booty off! She is stunning and her work is too️

Megan was easy and professional to work with for my June 2024 intimate wedding. She provided hair services for myself and was flexible and accommodating when I requested another stylist last minute to bring our moms to our elopement. She helped me clarify the style I wanted and nailed it. It lasted all day, despite a windy ceremony, and was exactly what I wanted! (Professional wedding photos: Nicole Geri Photography)

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of getting new-to-me services at Alder: my wedding hair (Kristen) and makeup (Anne). Two of my bridesmaids and also my mom (she was with Kayleigh) had their hair and/or makeup here. For my makeup trial, I had no clear idea what I wanted. The trial was fine, but afterwards I realized I didn’t love it and Anne was very gracious about letting me do another trial, and made me feel 0 guilt about it, and as the person who is forever convinced that I’m a burden, I am so, so grateful for that. Second trial went great and I loved the look. Felt very much like myself but better! For hair, I had a particular look in mind, and the trial went amazing and was everything I wanted! My actual wedding day was on a weekday and my party was small, so our hair and makeup were done at Alder (they will go on site if you have a minimum number of people) which was a relief to me because my venue’s getting ready area was not well lit, and Alder’s decor is always on point. We had some hiccups about appointment time (I forgot to factor in the fact that my venue was an hour away from the studio and my bridesmaids scheduled independently) but Kristen, Anne, and the Alder team were accommodating and again, didn’t make me feel like a burden even though I 100% should have scheduled all the appointments at the same time to avoid that problem in the first place. I’m not perfect! They even let us bring in breakfast while getting ready and it was just an all around good time. I felt like a princess, and my bridesmaids and mom looked so gorgeous!.

STUDIO x SARAH 

5.0

  • Starts at $440
  • Serves Big Rapids, MI for additional fees
  • Offer

Since the beginning, hair and make-up has been my passion as well as being “upside down.” It has been on my mind and a fiber of my being since four years old. I was cartwheeling into hair and makeup for friends and family. Just an active, outdoorsy gal that loves to enhance all beauty.

Had some difficulty with communication in the beginning since I was in Utah planning a wedding for Minnesota, but Sarah was always willing to answer my questions and provide the additional clarity I needed to calm my nerves as well as ensure I was understanding all services provided. The contract could use a little work since that’s where most of my confusion stemmed from, but not a deal breaker. Sarah was personable and fun for our trials and actual day of application, all my bridesmaids enjoyed their looks and how easy it was to ask for personal tweaks to our looks. Highly recommend!

Nataly Hope Makeup is a necessity for your event! During my bridal trial, she was incredibly patient and knowledgeable as I was unsure of the exact “look” I wanted for my day. She guided me towards my true vision with her inspiration and even took the time to do two variations - super beneficial! On wedding day, she exhibited the exact peace and kindness I needed surrounding me as I prepared for those moments right before the ceremony. She was full of joy and certainly made me look radiant, but more importantly…she made me FEEL radiant as she complimented natural beauties and found ways to accentuate my facial features instead of hiding them. The only regret you’ll have regarding Nataly Hope Makeup is if you don’t book her!
