Beauty Collective

g from start to finish. They are extremely organized and sent really helpful reminders and flyers leading up to the wedding so that the wedding party knew exactly what to do they day of the wedding. I had a pretty large wedding party (11 bridesmaids plus mothers of the bride and groom and flower girls). Beauty Collective handled that number perfectly. The team came to our getting ready location and set up quickly and just kept working until everyone was done. Each artist was a pleasure to work with and made everyone feel super comfortable. They were also wonderful to our little flower girls who were running around, super excited for the day. I also made a last minute change to what I wanted for my makeup and they executed the new look flawlessly – I felt glamorous but still like I looked like myself! I would highly recommend Beauty Collective!

did not like my makeup, but I made sure to follow up afterward with detailed feedback and inspiration photos explaining exactly what I wanted changed. On my wedding day, my makeup simply did not resemble my inspiration photos. I looked nice, but it was not the look I had specifically requested. I’m not sure if the style I wanted was outside of their comfort zone, but before booking I specifically asked whether they were experienced with partially hooded eyes and more glam/untraditional makeup styles because I wanted to make sure we were a good fit. I also booked services for my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law, and unfortunately we experienced similar issues across the board. The hairstyles were not quite what was requested, and the makeup leaned very “natural” and barely-there, even though everyone provided reference photos. It felt like we all received toned-down versions of the looks we asked for. There is absolutely nothing wrong with specializing in natural or clean-girl makeup styles, many people love that aesthetic. However, I do think it’s important to be transparent about your strengths and limitations instead of advertising a broader range of styles that may not be your specialty. I also think the booking/trial process was a major issue. I understand completely that trials cost money and should be paid for, but requiring clients to sign a contract before even having a trial makes it difficult to know whether the artist is truly the right fit. If I had been able to schedule a trial before committing, I likely would have chosen a different team that better matched the style I was looking for. That said, I do want to acknowledge the positives: everyone was kind, respectful, attentive, and professional throughout the process, and my hair lasted beautifully for several days afterward.

lowing weeks I kept feeling like the style wasn't 100% me / matching the vibe of my dress. I went back to Jami for a second trial, and she was so receptive and flexible in helping me try a different approach. Ultimately we landed on a half up / half down style that I loved SO much and really felt like myself. She replicated it perfectly on my wedding day and I was so happy with how my hair lasted throughout the day and night. I saw a picture from the very end of the night on the dance floor and my hair still looked exactly like it did when Jami finished. Aside from being a very talented stylist, Jami is also incredibly friendly and easy going and she (and Marisa!) brought such positive and calming vibes to the whole day!

ight long, even after a lot of dancing! They came early for a group of 11 of us and finished with plenty of time for everyone to get final touch ups. My friends and family all loved their hair styles and raved about the perfect work. Thank you so much for making my wedding day seamless and smooth from the start with a gorgeous style that lasted all night!
