10/10 recommend Alea Beauty. After another vendor had to cancel on me last minute, Alea Beauty was able to accommodate me with just a few weeks notice. Carla was super responsive and friendly. I loved her easy online booking platform and how ev...

erything was super clear and upfront. I also loved that they are super inclusive and asked for our pronouns. Although, I am not personally lgbtq+, I have family members who are so this was very important to me. I also loved that they offer men's grooming services and were able to help my hubby cover his acne on the day! Leigh Ann was my wedding day stylist and was fantastic. She listened and was able to make changes to make sure I was happy with the final result. All of the stylists on the day were prompt and friendly and my whole bridal party looked amazing. I can not thank Alea Beauty enough! They were truly lifesavers.

I went with Alea Beauty for three reasons: (1) onsite services, (2) fair prices with a reasonable booking minimum (believe it was $600), and (3) loved their style from the pictures. The platform Carla uses for the information packet/contract/pa...

yments is extremely helpful & organized. It was hard to find someone to do both hair & makeup, and someone who doesn't require 5+ people for both. I had a small bridal party (2 ppl), as well as my mom and mother of the groom, so the minimum booking amt was easy to meet for my group size. Highly recommend doing a trial beforehand (although I don't think the hair trial was taken as 'seriously' as it would have been if it were the real day). That said, I requested some changes to my updo after the trial, and my stylist definitely took that into account on wedding day to make sure I was happy.

The MOST impressive aspect was the day after the wedding - I'd obviously taken all my makeup off the night prior, but the day after my wedding my skin felt the softest and smoothest it has EVER felt in my life!!
