Noelle is a magician when it comes to hair and makeup! I sent her photos of what I wanted, and she matched them to a tee. I just got married 2 days ago and don’t have all of my photos. But I truly wish I had photos from the end of the night to show you, because even on a sunny 87 degree day, my curls were still in tact, my makeup looked like it had just been applied, and everything was still all around flawless. Seriously Noelle, you are MAGIC. Thank you for everything. You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and you were a ton of fun to work with. I can never thank you enough.

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.

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. the comfort of my bridal party was my top priority so finding out that alder hair studios was LGBTQ friendly and had an eye for making you look beautiful was the best feeling in the world. multiple members of my bridal party couldnt say enough about how much they loved getting dolled up by KayLeigh and Corena. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!

Gals and Ghouls was amazing from start to finish, I would recommend them to anybody. They allow trials before you book so you know the service you’re going to get! Worked with me to find a plan for beautiful makeup while I still felt comfy like myself. Inclusive services, and such a welcoming and friendly attitude from all the artists. They even worked with me when I needed to add on a few services for my bridal party at the last minute, no hassle. I felt like a million dollars all day long.
