Glam By Allison was a dream to work with for my wedding day beauty. From our very first interaction, Allison's friendly and approachable personality quickly put me at ease. She was easy to communicate with, answering all my questions and offering great suggestions based on the photos I provided and my personal style. The trial run was fun, and I loved the effortless, beautiful look she created. I booked her right away and on the wedding day, she came to my place, set up quickly, and we had such a good time talking and laughing as she worked. The final look was a bit different from the trial, but I sent her a video and photos of exactly what I wanted a week beforehand, and she nailed it. I looked absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't stop saying "wow!" I'm so grateful to Allison for helping me feel my absolute best on my special day.

I had a great experience with Luxe Beauty.

Viviana N did an incredible job with all of our makeup, and Viviana O did a wonderful job with our hair. We felt gorgeous all day -- and everything stayed on through all the dancing without feeling heavy at all.

It took me a little while to finally sit down and share my experience, but it’s something I knew I had to do. I got married in August 2024, and when it came to choosing someone to handle the makeup for my special day, Annaliza was my top choice. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she is truly a perfectionist. Every brush stroke seemed carefully considered, and her work made me feel stunning and confident. The results were beyond my expectations, and I’m certain the wedding photos will do her artistry justice. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your look on such an important occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Annaliza.

I have curly hair and wanted my curls out on my wedding day. Finding a stylist who knows curly hair was challenging, but thankfully I found Brandy. She had past experience working with curly brides and was able to show me photos of work. From our first consultation, She was quick to respond to my questions, clear in her communication about the services and timeline, and truly understood the look I was going for. On the day, I loved how she styled my curls. They were big and beautiful, and stayed in place the entire night. My makeup was perfect as well, I didn't want to go too heavy and Brandy was able to work with me on how to keep a natural look with a full face of make up. Her and her team also did my bridal parties make up and it made everyone feel calm, confident and beautiful.

As a licensed Cosmetologist I started working in the fashion industry applying makeup and hair for models as well as working back stage on runways for a wedding gown company. I worked with various professional photographers and fell into the wedding industry by helping with friends weddings. In 2011 I started as a freelance makeup and hair artist in college as a weekend job, then grew my business into a full time job. In 2013 I went to Cosmetology school to receive my cosmetology license. I love everything beauty oriented and enjoy being able to work in an industry that makes people feel and look beautiful.

I had the best experience with Sharon! I discovered her on Instagram and was immediately impressed by her work. She was flexible, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly professional! During the hair and makeup trial, I showed her some inspiration photos, and she was able to replicate the look perfectly on me. It just so happened that the trial was on the same day my husband and I went to the courthouse to sign our marriage license, so I was thrilled to look my best! On the wedding day, Sharon did hair and makeup for the mothers of the bride and groom, my husband, and me. My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed in place all night long—I didn't even need the emergency makeup kit she left me with. Sharon is amazing! You absolutely need to book her for your wedding or engagement shoots!

When another makeup artist cancelled on us last minute, I freaked out!! But my wedding planner recommended Jaycee and she was an absolute gem. Got her booked so quickly, so nice to talk to, and answered all my questions quickly. She even called me same day for us to discuss everything. She turned a really stressful situation into the least of my problems! Her makeup and hairstyling she did was absolutely perfect and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day.

I was referred to Mandy by my hairstylist and I am forever grateful. Mandy is a down-to-earth bright spirited professional. Other make up artists tend to push and pull you in a direction. Mandy does the opposite. She knows the questions to ask and creates a comfortable environment where you find yourself talking with a friend. Make up can be vulnerable experience for a bride, and all Mandy wants to do is enhance is your beauty and let your smile come through. She is knowledgeable on techniques, trends, and brands. Working with Mandy was a truly collaborative and fun experience. It was comforting to know that she was always focused on me, ready for a touch up or adjustment. She was a trusted friend throughout the day and I know I’ll look back on those photos years from now with the comfort I looked like myself and felt stunning!

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!
