  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

I've been a HMUA for a little over 12 years, worked in the big city (LA) and now back in my hometown raising our 2 littles doing what I love most! I've worked all over the industry! I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old. I've been a bride myself and can attest to the overwhelming mix of emotions that come with planning such an important day. SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

Thank you so much for listening to my likes and dislikes when it came to my overall look! It lasted all night and I am so grateful I found you!

For nearly ten years I have learned to master this beautiful art. I have dedicated myself to my small business, which has grown into something I could have never imagined. I started with nothing but the desire to make people feel beautiful. I envisioned bringing happiness to people through the power of makeup. Nothing compares to the feeling of making people feel beautiful and confident. Even after all this time, I have never lost my passion. I still enjoy watching each Bride excitement as i finish their look. I hope that you can consider me as your first choice to bring your perfect bridal look to life. I am confident that I could deliver!

As a bride, I had a wonderful experience. Madi explained each step, ensuring I was comfortable with the process. She was professional, easy to work with, and communicated clearly. The result was stunning and lasted all day! Highly recommend for a stress-free bridal makeup experience!

I booked Hazel for my wedding hair and makeup along with a few bridesmaids/family and I cannot say enough good things! From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!

Our Wedding hair and makeup Glam Squad is a carefully cultivated crew of the best stylists in Michigan. We all have several years of experience in the wedding industry and are devoted to bringing you confidence on your wedding day with your perfect style of hair and makeup.

Granted, I will start by saying my first trial with a hair and MU artist given to me was disastrous, the pretty committee made it right by giving me another trial with 2 different girls and they were amazing. Kara (MU) and Erin (Hair) did such an amazing job even with me being a bride and changing my mind a few times with the look. they took care of me and my 7 women so perfectly the day of the wedding, were on time, and I would recommend them to anyone in the south haven area.

I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Kim Baker Beauty is all about helping people feel like their best self, inside and out. This is so much more than makeup. We don't take it lightly that we are the first people you are with on your wedding day. How we make you feel is our top priority.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Kim Baker Beauty more than 5 stars, I would!! My wife and I got married in Saratoga, California a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't have been more thrilled with Kim, Lupe, and Steven. We got hair and makeup for ourselves and our bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, and even a little kid makeup for our flower girls. Our priorities were to feel present on our wedding day and to feel like ourselves, just a little more polished. We don't wear makeup on a day to day basis, and so we didn't want fake lashes or extensions. Kim worked with us to help us achieve our vision for our hair and makeup and encouraged us to give her extensive notes about what we didn't like at our preview (SO hard to do as a people pleaser, but Kim created a safe space where we were able to do so). My wife Ali thought she wanted a glowy look, but ended up going completely non-glowy on wedding day and LOVED it. She struggles to have her hair hold a curl for more than an hour, and Kim did such a good job her hair was still wavy the morning after the wedding after sleeping on it all night! I found out at our preview how particular I am about having my makeup done, and Kim let me do my eyeliner and eyebrows myself on our wedding day. It was the perfect balance of feeling pampered by Kim but still feeling in control of the things I am very picky about! Both of us have very sensitive scalps, and Kim made sure each and every pin felt comfortable and wasn't pinching. It made a HUGE difference in our stamina throughout our long crazy wedding to not have the added sensory nightmare of pins buried in our heads. Full disclosure, Kim is a dear friend of mine. But she and her team also hit it off with the rest of our bridal party! They're in selfies taken while getting ready, and they even got our shy junior bridesmaids chatting and laughing. We are so grateful for how they made our wedding morning feel organized, calm, and fun! If you're not sure whether to book Kim Baker Beauty, take it from me - there's none better.

My work can be described as elevated, intentional, and polished. Whether I am working with a bride who prefers to look more like their natural selves or a bride who is a sucker for full glam, I strive to create a luxurious experience for my clientele on their wedding day. Customizing your look with even the most subtle details can prove to be so impactful in enhancing your beauty. I can’t take all of the credit though! Your beauty inspires me— And at the core of it all, your own beautiful face is the roadmap to creating the most elevated version of yourself.

I cannot say enough good things about Raven! We booked to do hair and makeup for my June 2020 wedding, and Raven was alongside me every step of the way as I completely changed my plans for what my wedding would be like. We wound up having a small wedding in June, and due to the coronavirus Raven was not able to come, but she instead made me an INCREDIBLE makeup tutorial guide, talked me through doing my own hair and makeup so that I could be safe, and now I feel I walked away with great hair and makeup for my wedding day and now the skills to do it again in the future! I highly recommend working with Raven for any hair or makeup need, either in person or as an online tutorial-- she is kind, flexible, funny, and understanding and really helped me to navigate a hard situation with grace.

I’ve always loved hair and makeup, so getting it professionally done was one of the things I was most excited about for my wedding. Choosing a HMU artist was overwhelming, especially with so many highly recommended options. Emily Lynn & Co. stood out to me because of their natural approach. Their website had an editorial yet relaxed and fun vibe that resonated with me. As a graphic designer, a beautifully designed brand and website played a big role in all my vendor decisions—but Emily Lynn & Co.'s work truly spoke for itself. I had the pleasure of working with Colette as my lead artist, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the trial experience so comfortable by coming to my apartment, which was so nice. Colette really understood my vision—I wanted to look like myself, not too overdone, but with a touch of soft glam, and she nailed it perfectly. I also had Josie do hair for a few wedding party members, and everyone looked incredible. The atmosphere while getting ready was fun yet wonderfully calm. I highly recommend Emily Lynn & Co. to anyone looking for a top-notch HMU team!

I'm new to Zola, but not to Bridal Hair! With 17 years dedicated to crafting beautiful hair, and 8 of those in Bridal styling. My experience aids to specializing in varying styles - from vintage, to boho, to a modern esthetic. Recently, my partner and I made the exciting move to Portland from San Francisco. I can’t wait to discover all the stunning wedding venues the PNW has to offer! When I'm not doing hair, you can find me trying a new coffee shop, making kombucha, or hiking with my husband and our dog, Livia. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

April did my hair for my wedding in June, 2022. I left my trial feeling even more excited about my wedding because she was amazing at helping me figure out the right style for me - to feel like myself, but a little fancier. I loved the style she created. On my wedding day, April brought such a calm presence to the room. Everyone in my wedding party was thrilled with their hair styles and enjoyed getting the chance to sit in her chair. I absolutely loved my wedding day hair - it was exactly as we'd planned, lasted all night (through some serious dancing) and was comfortable the entire event. April is an absolute expert and I'd trust her completely with my hair for any occasion!

Moderne Beauty did the hair and make-up for my wedding. I am pretty picky about my hair and makeup, and don’t generally like the way I look when made up. However, I truly loved the look Michelle created for me. She took my inspiration photos and made them work for me. I wanted a soft, romantic look and she delivered. I felt glamorous but still able to recognize myself in the mirror! She is so talented and would absolutely work with her again. Monina was great to work with, and I enjoyed coming to the studio and had two amazing facials. She also helped coordinate everything on the day-of, and I could not believe how efficient the staff was while still being great at their jobs! They finished 8 ladies in 4 hours, and I think everyone looked beautiful. We did not feel rushed, and had time to enjoy ourselves. My hair and makeup still looked great 12 hours later! I would definitely recommend Moderne Beauty!

During the trial, she checked with me every step of the way to make sure I feel comfortable.

My experience with a variety of Skin Tones, Skin Types, Facial Features, Ages, Ethnic Backgrounds, and Customs has allowed me to achieve a wide range of desired looks, precision, and detail.

Sara did my makeup for my sister in laws wedding. I don't wear makeup often and she took all my concerns into account because I wanted a subtle glam. During the process she makes you feel relaxed and even though I knew she had 3 other people to work on I didn't feel like she was rushing, it felt like I was the only one. To say I felt beautiful in an understatement. I felt like no one could tell me anything! Even my husband who "prefers natural" had his breath taken away. It lasted through the wedding and dancing all night!

Henna Style by Arati 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Hi, I am a henna artist in the Fremont Bay Area. ART is my passion and my passion is my profession! I use 100% organic henna made with essential oils. Henna is an ancient art in India. Henna is actually a tree mostly grown in northern part of India. In today's date, henna is loved by everyone because of its temporary dark red color and various designs whether its tattoo or arabic mehndi and many more.

My fiance and I hired Arati to do both my bridal henna as well as some henna for family members at a casual welcome dinner before our ceremonies. She was very communicative, flexible in scheduling, and did beautiful work. She also worked incredibly quickly - my family members were very impressed with how detailed of designs they had on their hands in less than 15 min each. My bridal henna on hands feet turned out incredible and I received numerous compliments. Would absolutely recommend Arati to anyone looking for bridal henna!

LOVE + WOLVES CO BEAUTY

  • Team of 9
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!

From our first contact, the team at Bad Gal Beauty was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions we had.
