Rachael was a pleasure to work with on my daughter's wedding day! She was very professional and willing to go above and beyond to help make the day as stress free as possible. Rachael was scheduled to do hair and makeup for myself and my daughter but she did such an amazing job that she ended up doing a few of the bridesmaids makeup as well. Rachael finished us in perfect timing, she listened to our requests, and gave us the exact "look" we were hoping for. Everyone looked beautiful! Rachael is a true artist and I highly recommend her to do your hair and/or makeup for any special occasion!

I'm a passionate graphic designer, lover of art, culture and fashion, and a professional henna artist & makeup artist. Henna artistry has been a hobby of mine since I was a little girl. While at college, I turned my henna hobby into a career by taking a 4-day henna course with the world-renown henna artist Ash Kumar from London. Since then, I have been beautifying the hands and feet of many brides and their families. Because each bride is unique, I consult with each bride beforehand to ensure that every bride gets her own personalized henna to make her special day as perfect as can be.

I can’t recommend Dhara highly enough. She came to do the mehendi for me and my mother in the days before my wedding, and I was blown away with her. Her designs were beautiful and intricate, and I received endless compliments about their delicate and subtle elegance, but what really stood her apart was the patience and her attitude keeping us in great spirits. Having to sit still and not be able to use my hands could have been torture, but her calming presence was exactly what my mother and I needed. If you’re looking for the total package on your mehendi, you can’t make a better choice than the Dhara.

I could not reccommend Sam and her team more! Sam completed my initial trial for my engagement party and we reviewed what i liked and did not like, a year later in preparation for my bridal shower i trialed with her assistant Julie so i could get an idea of how my whole bridal party would look no matter who they used. Julie also did a fantastic job and let me test out colors i may not usually wear for my wedding day vibe, but fit perfect for my shower. When it came to wedding day- Sam listened to my evolving ideas from the last year and a half and truly made my makeup dreams of full glam wedding day come to life!!! I looked incredible!!! I typically do not wear a ton of makeup, so i was excited to go full glam and i truly looked like a model. I glowed all night! We got married on a very hot and humid day in August- took photos outside for 4 hours straight and i was sweating a ton!!! I was so nervous my makeup would be off my face by the time i walked down the aisle...but it didn't!!! My makeup stayed exactly how it looked at 10 am when she put it on my face all the way to 11pm when we got back to the hotel. It even survived the rain storm we got from the hurricane. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist. Sam is so personable and she listens to exactly what you want and matches every girls skin tone- from very pale to very tan, we all looked perfect. Her communication for the 1.5 years we worked together was outstanding. Pricing was also very reasonable. Myself and my 12 bridesmaids/moms had an amazing experience with Sam and her assistant Julie. I have recommended them to many of my friends who are brides to be and cannot wait to continue recommending Sam for years to come!

Ultimate Bridal Beauty

Jaye is a well known, highly regarded, and sought-after Health and Beauty Consultant. She is a veteran of studio and television work in the local, regional, film and broadcast community. She is recognized in the bridal world for all aspects of bridal beauty from skin care and hair care for your entire Wedding Party including bride, groom, bridesmaids and family. We specialize in Airbrush Makeup to hide tattoo’s for your special day. Jaye and her team are seasoned beauty experts. You could not have a more experienced and knowledgeable group of professional to work with. Jaye will work with you from start to finish.

Firstly, I have to commend Jaye, the contact person for the team at Ultimate Bridal Beauty. She was kind and instantly made me feel comfortable, which was much appreciated, especially considering I rarely wear makeup. My only specific requests for the makeup were to keep it light and natural and to use airbrush, and Jaye did exactly as asked. Jaye was the only makeup artist I had a trial with, mainly because all the others I had initially considered either ghosted or forgot our appointments. Since I liked the way I looked after the trial with Jaye, I decided to go with her, thinking it was a sign of sorts. For my hair, Jaye paired me with Ana. Ana is also quite nice and friendly. However, after my initial trial, my hair fell out on the car ride home, which was a bit concerning. Upon explaining this to Jaye, she was understanding and asked Ana to do another trial with a focus on making my hair tighter. While this may not be the norm for a trial, it provided reassurance that my hair would stay in place throughout the wedding day. Ana accommodated this request without any issues. On the wedding day, Jaye brought a third team member to be a hair and makeup float for everyone else involved in the wedding. I appreciate that the team was laid back and relaxed, creating a nice environment in the room. They made sure to wait for me to return after photos, before the wedding began, so they could do touch ups; however, I was a little frustrated since I had been told beforehand someone would accompany me during photos, to save time and so I would not have to continue going back and forth to the team which definitely took up time. In the end, everyone seemed happy with their wedding looks, and I have to admit, my makeup did stay put throughout the day and my hair did not fall out - though it was a general mess by the reception. This is to be expected of curls in the South Florida humidity in summer though and is absolutely no fault of Ana’s. The team's effort and willingness to address concerns make me comfortable recommending them, especially if you appreciate a more laid-back approach to beauty.
