KC Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the start, Krystal and her team were fast, communicative, and incredibly friendly. As the bride, the hair and makeup they did for me brought me to literal tears - I have never felt so beautiful and confident. Krystal and her team of incredibly talented hair stylists and makeup artists were a joy to have in the bridal suite. They handled my huge bridal party of 10 with such efficiency and ease. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup looks. Everyone looked stunning. Krystal was so amazing to work with and if I had to do it all over again, I would 100% use KC Artistry. I recommend them to everyone and will use them in the future for other events.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had such an amazing wedding day with Cheryl as my makeup and hair stylist. She took a lot of care and detail to make sure my look was exactly what I wanted. Even going as far as to determine when I should wash my hair so my curls would stay in longest. My make up is as exactly what I wanted and we got there because she takes time to listen to what you want for your look. I don’t normally do a full glam look, I keep it natural in my day to day routine, but she translated that to a beautiful wedding day look. She even did touch ups for me between the ceremony and the reception. We got married in the summer and I was very hot and sweaty at the peak of the heat and she was even able to refresh my hair after it fell out from my sweat. TMI but it’s the realness of getting married in the summer in the south. The pictures speak for themselves how amazing I looked and felt. Thanks for helping make my special day so incredible.

I am so glad I worked with BFF for my wedding hair and makeup! Communication was reliable throughout the booking process. My trial with Kris and Brenda was fun and really constructive- they were so responsive to my feedback and we got both hair and makeup to the perfect spot with a couple of tweaks. They also followed up with me to see how the hair and makeup held up for the rest of that day to ensure we would be in good shape on the wedding day. They did a beautiful job on my wedding day and it made hair and makeup completely stress free. They also did an amazing job on my mom, MIL, and bridesmaids and I got nothing but amazing feedback from my bridesmaids that they were the best hair and makeup artists they'd ever worked with (I'm 31 so we've all been in a solid number of weddings by now). If you're looking for the very cheapest option out there BFF may not be a fit, but I can say the outcome and process were worth every single penny.

Updos For I Dos is the absolute best hair and makeup team to work with!! The calm, kind, and fun energy they bring help you feel your best on your wedding day! From the moment I met my team at the trial, everyone made me feel so relaxed and at ease about the process. They are all so easy to be open and honest with and make the morning of your wedding so seamless and fun! I ended up switching a few things from my trial on my actual wedding day and both Steffani and Katie were so accommodating. I was blown away with how they made my vision come to life and could not be happier with my final look!! We had 13 people getting hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding and the team kept right on schedule the entire time without anyone feeling rushed or stressed (and we even got to sleep in a little!). They are so easy to plan and communicate with, responding quickly and with so much helpful information. I cannot thank Updos For I Dos enough for making me and my girls feel so beautiful and calm on my big day!!!!

Margo was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly listened to all of my concerns from start to finish. My biggest worry was my hyper-sensitive skin, and she handled it with so much care. From the bridal trial to the wedding day, she explained every product she used and made thoughtful recommendations that made me feel completely comfortable. About a month before the wedding, I had an allergic reaction from trying new skincare, and she was so reassuring and adjusted everything so I didn’t have to stress about my skin at all. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and so easy to be around. She absolutely nailed both my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids loved her too. I’m really grateful for her—she made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free, and I felt so taken care of!! Thank you!!

Kelsea and her team were amazing to work with. I am not usually much of a makeup wearer and asked for basically a glammed up version of myself, and she really delivered! I especially appreciated that she responded well when I asked for a small adjustment – she knew what I was asking for and was able to make me look and feel my best on my wedding day. Not to mention she made my fine, uncurlable hair look beautiful! Plus, my hair and makeup lasted through a whole night of dancing, kissing, and happy tears.

I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

I am so happy that I found and hired The I Do Glam Crew for my December 2024 wedding! Lori and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. I booked two separate trials with Lori to try out all kinds of different hair options, and she probably spent about 5 hours with me to make sure I was going with the hairstyle that would make me the happiest on the big day. She never made me feel rushed or annoying, even though I was being incredibly indecisive! Her shop is adorable and comfortable and the other people on her team were all fantastic - they showed up to my house the morning of the wedding on time, they breezed through everyone's hair and makeup in a timely fashion, and everyone looked gorgeous after all was said and done. As someone who really doesn't like to have a ton of makeup, I was super nervous about having our makeup professionally done, but I had nothing to worry about - it turned out amazing. One of my bridesmaids opted out of having her makeup done because she never likes how people do her makeup, but afterwards she told me that this was the one time she somewhat regretted not getting her makeup done because she loved how ours turned out so much. Anyway, I cannot recommend this team enough! They are wonderful to work with and I would absolutely hire them again.

Karma's Kreations Artistry was an excellent choice for our wedding day beauty needs. Aubrielle was very assertive in her communication with me, which I appreciated as it ensured we were on the same page throughout the process. The quality of her work was truly professional, attentive, and aimed to satisfy - she promptly arrived at the wedding location and did an exceptional job applying makeup on me and my mother. Aubrielle was also very personable and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I really appreciate the time and attention given to me as a bride-to-be, and the trial run before the wedding day was an excellent idea that avoided any surprises. The reasonable pricing and excellent customer service provided by Karma's Kreations Artistry was a win-win, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
