I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

Birmingham, AL
  • Starts at $200

Hi, I’m Sara, owner and lead artist of Sara Elizabeth Artistry. My love for makeup started with my own insecurities growing up, but it quickly became an incredible way for me to help others feel beautiful and confident. Though I first pursued nursing, I realized my true passion was in working with women. For over three years, I’ve had the joy of working with brides from all walks of life. I LOVE seeing the smiles and ecstatic reactions when you look in the mirror! I’m all about making your wedding day stress-free, FUN and run on time. When I’m not working, I’m a proud mom who loves traveling with my son and spending time with my cats!

Sara was the best hair and makeup artist for my wedding. She listened to my vision, and I felt absolutely beautiful. I am very picky on my hair, and u was going to do it myself. But she talked me into doing a hair trial and I loved my hair!! I recommend anyone to use Sara or anyone from her team!

On the average day you'll find me with my hands in someones hair. I have a passion for making people feel like the best versions of themselves. Ive been doing hair for 12 years and have owned my salon, Copper for 10 of those. In 2020, I stepped out of working for a larger bridal company and launched Copper Bridal. Since opening, we have provided bridal services for over 85 brides in the Cincinnati Area. As of January 2023, I am bringing my bridal styling to Alabama and I hope to set a new standard for bridal hair in Auburn/Opelika and Lake Martin areas.

Amanda is AMAZING! I have been going to her salon since I moved to Cincinnati 3 years ago and would not have gone with anyone else to do my hair for my wedding. She was so helpful throughout the bridal process, answering any questions I had and helping me with color matching for my extensions. I had 7 bridesmaids, myself, and a family member getting hair done for my wedding. Amanda was styling alone and completed everyone’s looks with over an hour to spare! Everyone looked phenomenal with all different hairstyles. She is amazing with different hair textures and lengths and is so creative with her styles. Do yourself a favor and book with her if you want to look amazing for your own wedding!

Henna by Heather

  • Team of 6
  • Serves Birmingham, AL for additional fees

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.
