Erin's communication style is quick, efficient, and easy-going, which helped keep everything organized leading up to the big day.

She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial.

We had a trial prior to the wedding and she was so attentive to my very specific requests. Our venue was outside on a hot humid day however my makeup did not melt or budge since 10am that morning and I looked flawless until I had to remove it that night after the party. Definitely will be booking Nancy for any future events that I may attend.

For over 12 years, I've been captivated by the art of makeup, constantly exploring new techniques and perfecting my skills to create mesmerizing looks. While pursuing a degree in Business Administration from DePaul University, I decided it was time to embark on my own journey and establish my makeup artist business as a side hustle.

Muizza was beyond professional and kind. I explained to her how I never had good experiences with makeup artists because they never make me lol how I want but she worked her magic and gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. She’s amazing. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better for my special day. I can look back at my wedding photos and love what I look like thanks to her!

Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day or a special occasion, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and create a look that reflects your unique style and personality. From timeless classics to modern trends, our talented and passionate beauticians are here to bring your vision to life. We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup did a WONDERFUL job with my wedding hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my wedding party. I have very fine, straight hair that has a difficult time holding a curl, but Jenna Marie was so open-minded and willing to work with me on finding solutions that would work well for me. My hair help up for the entire wedding (including through Hurricane Helene!!) and was so beautiful. I was unsure what I was looking for as my hairstyle, but Jenna helped me narrow down my options and advised based on my face shape, dress, and overall vibe of the wedding. My makeup was so beautiful, and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all and left me with no breakouts! It lasted the entire day and looks beautiful in my photographs. Jenna and Nicole also did the hair and makeup of my wedding party, and everyone was in love with their looks, and looked great the whole day. KTM was very flexible when I last minute had a family member ask if they could get their makeup done, and the team was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate her. Additionally, we have many LGBTQ members of our wedding party, and KTM was nothing but lovely and welcoming to all. They really went above and beyond, and I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. I will never forget how special and stunning KTM made me feel for the entire getting-ready process, and how well-organized they were, which left me feeling no stress about how the getting-ready part of the day would go, and also feeling confident that everyone would look great throughout the entire event. I would highly recommend Kiss This Makeup to anyone who is looking for the best service and stunning results for their wedding or any event. Much love!!

She was able to hide my stress acne and I got soooo many compliments and my entire bridal party loved their looks too! Natalie was super relaxed which is just what I needed as the wedding day nerves kicked in. From the moment I sat in the makeup chair I was able to relax. She was great at making any adjustments we wanted as well. Everyone said my makeup held up nicely throughout the entire day and I am in love with every picture I've took. I seriously wish she could do my makeup everyday as she really helped make me feel stunning. Highly recommend!

I HIGHLY recommend using BBBB for your beauty services. As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup and has naturally curly/wavy hair, my priority for hair/makeup services was finding a place who would make me look and feel beautiful and confident, but still like myself. The BBBB team KNOCKED it out of the park. Amy (makeup), Milian (hair) and Brenda (hair/makeup) were so kind and professional while doing hair/makeup for myself, my mother, my two grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my two maids-of-honor. They kept us on schedule, but were flexible when someone was running behind or needed to take a break. Their energy was fun, warm, and relaxing, which helped to really set the tone for the day. Everyone was saying how the morning of the wedding felt almost like a spa experience – it was that relaxing! We all looked beautiful, seriously. And we all felt like *ourselves*, which was a top priority for us. I remarked to my husband that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day – and I don't know if I'll ever feel more gorgeous! So much of that is attributed to the hair and makeup services I received from BBBB. I felt so confident heading into our wedding day. Not once did I feel preoccupied about my appearance, because the artists crushed it. Thank you BBBB crew for making such a special, cherished day all the more magical.

Before my trial they gave me opportunity to share inspo pics they could see exactly what I wanted. I sent the pictures and when I went to the trial both Liseth and Andy listened and did a great job. I did make a few changes however, I did love my look and the changes were very minor.

With over 19 years in the beauty industry I am blessed to still love what I do! My specialty is classic, romantic bridal hairstyling and it brings me enthusiasm to be a part of a couples special day! I hope you can become one of my future beautiful, and “Joyful Brides”!

Joyful Brides was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! From the moment I reached out, her communication was fast, helpful and responsive. She was always respectful and went above and beyond to make sure my hair and makeup look was absolutely perfect. My hair stayed in place all night, even after the wedding! They also took on an extra bridesmaid at the last minute with no issues or questions - they were just so amazing to work with. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing. I cannot recommend Joyful Brides enough to any couple planning their wedding!

Mel was incredible! She reached out to me after reading what I was looking for, then helped me find a makeup artist, and was so flexible throughout the whole process. I shared my vision and she brought it to life and I received so, SO many compliments on my hair on my wedding day. When people see my pictures, they always comment on my hair immediately. My braid was stunning but she did great work on my whole bridal party; all with diverse hair styles and hair needs.
