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.

Working with Jordan and Sam was a DREAM. I am someone who gets nervous having their hair and makeup professionally done and working with AfterGlo studio had me totally at ease. Myself and everyone else who had their hair and makeup done were very happy with the end product! My skin didn’t look cakey at all and they both nailed the look I was going for. Not only are Jordan and Sam extremely talented, they are also kind and accommodating people. It was so nice sitting and chatting with both of them for my trial and on my wedding day. When I sat down in Jordan’s chair to get my makeup done, it felt like catching up with an old friend. If I didn’t live on the other side of Michigan, I would DEFINITELY want to be friends with them. They truly are nice, talented people and I am so happy I booked them. They were definitely my favorite vendor to have and work with for our wedding. Thank you Jordan & Sam! 3 P.S. the look held up all night and they even supplied a cute touch up kit for everyone!

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!.

Working with Desi was a lot of fun. Her professionalism and her dedication to making henna a highlight of the event really shows. She created an amazing henna station with decor like tablecloths, tealights, and thaalis, which blended in perfectly with the wedding event. Not only was her henna work clean but she also worked efficiently without compromising the quality of her art. Though we were “competitors”, she created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that made working with her enjoyable. I highly recommend her services, especially for brides and people holding wedding events.

Studio 9 Salon of Sterling Heights, has handled hundreds of weddings over our many distinguished years. Our experienced and talented staff will get you to your event on time looking beautiful.

I worked with Studio 9 Salon for my wedding hair and makeup, which was recommended by my officiant/planner, Julie. I can see why she recommended them, because they did an amazing job! Although I did not have a wedding party, I have some close friends and family also get their hair and/or makeup done. We had different stylists work with us so that we could finish within our 2-hour appointment slot (we did). Since we had an appointment in the salon, they allowed us to arrive a little early and enjoy some juice and pastries in their room upstairs. I believe I worked with Crystal (my apologies if I am misremembering your name) for my hair and makeup. I did a bridal updo and airbrushed makeup. Crystal was outstanding! I showed her some pictures to reference the type of style I wanted (hair: Bohemian; makeup: natural/romantic), and she did not disappoint. I was so incredibly pleased with both my hair and makeup. The style was exactly what I wanted – even more impressive since I did not do a trial. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on this special day!

Crystal and her team were amazing!!! I am so happy that we made her part of our big day. We are a same-sex couple (two brides) and we had a large bridal party. We had a total of 14 people getting hair/makeup done. Crystal & company were able to accommodate us. Everyone was pleased with their service and looked beautiful! Zeroing in on the bridal experience, Crystal was very easy to work with from the very beginning. She is definitely an LGBTQ friendly vendor, and more generally is very open to different bridal styles. Her forms and paperwork really broke things down to aide in decision-making and impart clear information. The bridal trial was very thorough. On the day of the wedding, she was essential. We booked her for her retainer service, and she was there to help with any problems. My wife's zipper broke, and Crystal sewed her into her dress. Both our hair deflated multiple times due to humidity, and she re-curled it multiple times. She was a very calming presence during photos and always made sure we had water or whatever we needed. Seriously, BOOK CRYSTAL!!!

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.

I am incredibly passionate about what I do as a Makeup Artist. Making Women feel beautiful is truly my purpose and my passion! It will always be all about your transformation for me. Let me be the one to get you ready and enhance your look just because or for a special event!

Samantha was so great to work with from the second I reached out to her. I was unsure about hiring a makeup artist at first because I am extremely particular, and quite frankly wasn’t in my wedding budget. But after seeing pictures of her work, I was shocked at how flawless she her clients look. I was hooked and had to try. But upon deciding, she was very patient with all my questions, concerns, and my most favorite thing was she was not the slightest bit pushy when I told her I wanted to think about it. Her professionalism and patience was superb and her talent is perfection through and through! She listened to exactly what I wanted, I even spoke up about a slightly different look and she was very receptive and didn’t try to sway me otherwise. And I was very pleased with the outcome! She takes her time which I believe is important, and I had several compliments on my makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding day. I plan on booking her for a few upcoming events next year, and looking forward to working with her again! Do yourself the favor and schedule a consultation with her! I promise you will not be disappointed!
