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.

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.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

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!.

Molly Pool - Stylist

  • Starts at $240
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

Hi! Molly here! I have been licensed in the beauty industry since 2008. Makeup and updos are what originally drew me to attend cosmetology school. As a kid, I loved to teach myself how to style on dolls and my younger sister. I work during the week doing color and cuts behind the chair, but as my confidence and skill set expanded over the years, my passion for doing all things bridal has only grown! I do my absolute best to make your day go as smoothly as possible! I use top of the line professional products including Pureology, Redken, Kenra, Sonia Roselli, Eminence Organics, Graftobian, Makeup Forever, Temptu and more.

Molly was fantastic for my wedding day and any communications leading up to the day. While a friend did my hair, Molly styled five bridesmaids as well as mother of groom and everyone loved their hair and felt beautiful and confident. She traveled and did hair on site and was early, organized and calm and friendly. Our bridal party enjoyed hanging out with her also. She was actually ahead of schedule! She even helped finish one of our flower girls braids when her mom got pulled to do something else. And she finished placing flowers in my hair perfectly. I'm so happy to have found Molly. Planning a wedding is a beautiful time and is something to be grateful for AND it is also stressful. It is so great to have vendors who are reliable, experts at their craft and who help alleviate the stress so you can enjoy your day. Thank you Molly!!!

I only have the best things to say about Crystal and Drake Artistry! Crystal was amazing, starting from the very beginning! I live out of state so I was anxious about booking trials/etc. but Crystal was very flexible in working with me on dates, and her communication/response time was excellent. I loved the professional headshots she does at the trial as it gives you a great idea of what to expect on your wedding day! The day of, my hair was exactly as I envisioned and my makeup held up all day for pictures. Her retaining services were a great addition - she was with me a large portion of the day to fix my lipstick for pictures, provide water/mints, and also ice packs (married in the heat of June.) I was extremely pleased with all the services of Drake Artistry - thank you, Crystal, for making our day so memorable!

My name is Ronda, a professionally trained hairdresser that has recently relocated to Michigan. I’m a wife, mom and dog-mama. When I’m not in the Midwest, my husband and I spend a few months out of the year in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua (“wink wink” to all my destination brides!). In my free time, I love traveling, going to the beach with our Frenchie named “Tigua” and sipping a spicy margarita. My mission is to continue to create beautiful looks for my Brides, share my knowledge with other aspiring hairdressers, and hopefully inspire others to manifest their biggest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Do yourself a favor and hire Ronda for all your wedding hair needs! Ronda executed my vision perfectly and exceeded my expectations - which is hard to do for a Type A, perfectionist like me! Ronda spent so much time during my hair trial making sure we tried all the different variations of the “low bun”, so I had full confidence in my style going into the wedding day. She even gave me guidance on what to tell my hair colorist so that my highlights were perfect for the style. Ronda absolutely slayed my rehearsal “party pony” and I received so many compliments! She was meticulous in making sure every part of my hairdo was perfect for both the rehearsal and wedding day. I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life than on my wedding weekend and Ronda was a huge reason for that.

Hey there! I'm Hannah Willford; Esthetician, Lead Makeup Artist and proud owner of Luxology Esthetics. In 2015, I officially dived into the beauty industry as a makeup artist, and let me tell you, it's been a wild and fabulous ride! Making my clients look and feel amazing is hands down the best part of my gig. I graduated my Esthetics Apprenticeship program in June of 2023. Now I'm not just your go-to gal for luxury bridal makeup and hair artistry, but I also specialize in oh-so-relaxing facials, Brazilian & Body waxing, and Hand-sprayed Sunless Tanning at my suite in Midland, MI.

Hannah did my wedding make up as well as 3 of our daughters. She made this 54 year old bride look better than I could have imagined and the make up held up all night long though August heat and lots of dancing! The girls looked fabulous and were also satisfied. One of our girls is vegan and Hannah has vegan product so that was a bonus for sure. She also leaves you with a bit of your lip color so you can reapply as needed and does a little facial before applying make up - also a bonus. Lastly, Hannah was fun, knowledgeable, prompt AND her communication skills were above standard when compared to most of my other venders. As a busy bride that’s a much appreciated asset!
