I am a certified makeup artist and have been in the industry for about 8 years. I thrive in doing natural makeup but that doesn’t mean I shy from creative and exotic makeup! Beauty comes in many forms and I love expressing it through bridal makeup. I only offer makeup. No hair.

Mary was the perfect choice for mine and my bridesmaid's makeup for my wedding! She was very responsive to all of my questions and I felt very confident following my makeup trial with her prior to the wedding day. Everyone loved our makeup the day of and Mary finished all 8 of our looks in plenty of time. We all highly recommend MaryMouabeauty for your wedding makeup needs!

You cannot go wrong with Primped! I had Lindsay for makeup and Allie for hair - they were wonderful! They did my hair, 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and my mom’s hair. I cannot say enough about how great they both were! We were able to meet and do a trial before the wedding to discuss the look I wanted both in terms of makeup and hair, and they both ensured I was completely comfortable with the end results. All of the other women who had their hair and makeup done loved the end result. Allie and Lindsay were both excellent about ensuring everyone had as much or as little "extra" in their makeup or hair. For instance, my mother-in-law is not as comfortable with a lot of glamour, so Lindsay and Allie were great about ensuring her hair and makeup were more natural compared to some of the others. They are both also just such kind people who were a welcome addition to our morning of getting ready - everyone had rave reviews for them. Primped is a wonderful company with great people who work for them. My hair and makeup lasted all night and I loved the way I looked :) The cost is definitely worth it - you won't regret hiring them!

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy!

I feel extremely blessed to be able to get up every morning and do what I love. Men’s hair, bridal hair and styling are my specialties.

Katie is amazing to work with for bridal hair! She was so helpful with me deciding on the best style for my wedding day. She is very professional and so fun to work with. She did my bridal party of more than 8 people and everyone loved their hair. I got my hair done at 10:30 and it still looked amazing at midnight when our reception ended. She is a great listener and wants you to have the best experience. I would recommend Katie to anyone for their wedding day!

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Kristy was responsive and easy to communicate with. She listened to my desires and wrote detailed messages with hair inspiration, including pictures and links to trusted brands for accesories. I loved hanging with her while getting ready. She is easy to talk to and super kind. She worked efficiently and made it look easy, pulling off the exact look we were going for. From a special touch at the trial with a little vase of flowers to arriving on time and in good spirits, I felt that she really enjoyed being a part of my wedding experience. I highly recommend Kristy at The Suite Seat, she really builds relationships and is so talented!
