Dareece is an amazing person, a consummate professional and a gifted artist. I am so happy to have found her for our intimate wedding. She did such beautiful work on my bridal trial, that my daughter wanted to get hers done as well. As my maid of honor, Dareece accommodated her requests and on the wedding day, did our hair beautifully! Dareece is also kind enough to open her books for a regular haircut for me, and I'll continue to see her as long as she's around!

Working with Erin was absolutely amazing. She did my hair for two occasions including my wedding. I met her by chance and I’m so glad I did. After she did my hair for the first event I immediately hired her for the wedding. She was detailed, lightning fast, and creative. She did my wedding hair with very little guidance. I simply told her what I was looking for and she brought it to life perfectly. Everyone who got their hair done was super happy with it. Erin was a great communicator throughout the process, on time, and just overall an amazing human. I would hire her over and over again. I’m sad I don’t have another event coming up that I can have her do my hair for! Overall, you cannot go wrong by hiring her!

Feathered Hair Salon

  • Starts at $475
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

I'm a bridal hair stylist located in Cary, NC, and I've been honing my craft for over 10 years. I absolutely adore weddings – they're my favorite! Working with brides and helping their visions come to life brings me so much joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rush was a dream to work with, in all truth. She styled five heads including my long, thick haired updo. She also did wonders with shall-we-say less bountiful heads of hair, which as you may know, is less of an easy job. She works with good products and good tools which was important to me. And most importantly, my bridal updo was The Most Comfortable Hair I've Ever Had. I kid you not. I wore that updo (with 75 pins in it) for 12 hours. There was not a pin-prick in my scalp and it wasn't heavy or annoying in any way. It held up until midnight when I reluctantly left the party and disassembled my gorgeous hair. Some people style wedding hair because they have to, Rush does it because she genuinely loves the whole experience (which really shows). She was helpful, thoughtful, had superb communication habits, and is just all around a sweet, sweet human. I could not recommend her or her services more highly.

makeupxsamara

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

MakeupxSamara is a *natural glow* makeup company based in Raleigh, NC. What is a *natural glow* you might ask? Well, after looking through the images on this page you might notice a theme...natural, radiant, glowy, NEVER CAKEY, makeup. And that's not a coincidence. After 5 years in the industry, owner Samara Perchick has become known for her effortless, soft-glam style that is recognizable and sought-after throughout the Triangle. Her main goal is for clients to look in the mirror and recognize their reflection and feel like an elevated but natural version of themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Samara last minute after my original plan for makeup for my rehearsal dinner fell through. I could not have asked for a better, more talented makeup artist. Samara made me feel instantly at ease with her friendliness and professionalism. More importantly, she made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt in my entire life. If I had known how skilled and professional Samara was, I would have hired her to do the makeup for me and my bridal party on my wedding day. She has a lot of experience with different types of makeup and is used to working on all ages and skin types, which I found out after I later hired her to do makeup for another event with my mom and grandmother (it goes without saying that everyone was thrilled with their makeup and the party guests were gushing about how great we all looked). I’ve had my makeup done by dozens of people, but no one makes me look as gorgeous as Samara does.

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

Alaina did a great job making me feel beautiful but still making sure I looked like me, which is just what I wanted. She was very sweet and enjoyable to work with, professional, and prepared, including having a touch-up kit for me. She also helped my MOB look like a bombshell.

I'm a licensed professional. I will make sure you're ready for all your picture perfect moments. I specialize in Weddings and enjoy every moment of them. You're already beautiful, I'll just help you shine!

Theresa did an absolutely incredible job with make-up on my wedding day! She worked alone and was able to do make-up for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers all before it was time for photos! Not only that, but she did an incredible job and all 5 of us were so happy with the looks she gave us. From the beginning, I loved the way she highlighted someone's natural beauty with make-up. I loved the look she did for me because it was very natural, yet made me feel bridal and beautiful and put together! She prepped the skin beforehand and everything was very soothing and clean feeling! (I have very sensitive skin and was concerned about this, but it was no problem for her at all, and my skin felt so fresh and like it was glowing!). All of her make-up also felt very light and effortless - I could barely tell I was wearing make-up and the lashes also did not bother me. Also, I cried a majority of the day, and despite that fact the make-up lasted all throughout the day and night!! She was very kind all throughout the day, and made casual conversation with all of us - we all felt comfortable with her! I highly recommend Theresa for all your make-up needs on your wedding day, prom, or other event! She is wonderful! Thank you, Theresa, for everything!

If you want to look so good you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror… book this team!!! Mena did my makeup for engagement photos, boudoir shoot, and of course my wedding. I have never felt more confident and beautiful. If you are searching for an artist, I promise you have found her. Not only does Mena make you feel your absolute best, her team the day of gets straight to work and will make all your bridesmaids and family feel the same! I have been in multiple weddings where the beauty team is unorganized, rushed, or makes you want to wash your hair and face and do it yourself. Her team had a set pre made schedule for each of my girls, listened to their beauty visions, extremely friendly, and even my pickiest bridesmaids were blown away and obsessed with how they looked! Also, due to my venues schedule, we had to get ready at my house and her team brought their own table/chairs and left my house cleaner than it was before they arrived. I can not compliment Mena and her team enough!

Dark Hearts Artistry

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

Liz has been a licensed esthetician and makeup artist for nine years now. Before becoming a bridal makeup artist she was a library assistant and dabbled in art for over 10 years! She’s married to the love of her life and a mama to a beautiful baby girl. Liz’s background gives her a unique perspective on each makeup she does, and she loves to keep you laughing! Lashes and laughter that’s all we need! Based in North Carolina, Liz will help you customize the makeup of your dreams!

Liz at Dark Hearts Artistry made my wedding so special with her wit, uplifting energy, and talent. When I first reached out to her, she got back to me quickly and was transparent about her process, pricing, and even gave me an example timeline for the amount of people I was planning to get ready with. She also connected me with a hair stylist who is wonderfully talented at working with naturally curly hair. Liz took the time to get to know me over the year and would remember small details that most people forget, like my dog's name or a show my Autistic sister likes to watch. She is a big proponent of building and maintaining meaningful connections with others––and her makeup is a lovely reflection of this intention. For my wedding, she created a beautiful makeup look that felt lightweight on my skin but still glamorous, taking the details from our makeup trials that felt right and adding her own unique twist. Before starting that day, she said, "I have something in mind that I feel is very you. Do you trust me?" When I looked in the mirror afterward, I saw a reflection of myself that only Liz could enhance. I felt very "me," comfortable in my own skin and (as a person with anxiety) not nervous in the slightest to show my face. Liz, Lyndsay (hair stylist), and Marie (hair/makeup) did a wonderful job at making my bridesmaids and family members look and feel their best while also capturing their inner beauty. While my primarily Latina group can be notorious for being particular, they absolutely loved their hair and makeup. Dark Hearts Artistry was gracious with everyone and put us all in a wonderful, spirited mood!
