Stephanie and her team were amazing to work with! So kind and accommodating. They did an amazing job with both hair and makeup for the bride, bridal party, and mothers. Can't recommend highly enough!

BOOK THEM! We worked with Stephanie and Ariel at our wedding, and they worked *magic*. Stephanie and Ariel were so extremely kind working with my bridal party and were very understanding about our timeline. All of my bridal party had different hair textures and different facial structures. Stephanie and Ariel worked with each one of them to give them the exact look they wanted. Our hair and makeup all looked gorgeous! NOTHING MOVED. No curls fell, no makeup ran, we looked exactly the same by the end of the night. And all of my bridal party loved the way they looked and felt confident all night. Stephanie and Ariel made a huge impact on my wedding day, and we loved working with them!

Stephanie is amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and did an incredible job. Everyone was amazed with how great my hair and makeup looked — everything turned out even better than I could have imagined! She was great to work with leading up to wedding day, and made me feel so relaxed on the morning of. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Any questions?

Stephanie did an excellent job on my hair and makeup for my wedding. I told her I don't wear much makeup at all and just wanted a light but elegant look and she delivered! She also nailed the hair style I was going for her first try!

Stephanie and Ariel supported my wedding with hair and makeup, and I am SO happy they did! On the day, Stephanie made me feel so calm and it was really fun to be around her. Ariel as well was so calm and relaxed, they both helped create a stress free environment for me. My make-up on the day, I have no words to describe! Stephanie made me feel like the most beautiful bride but still looking like myself. I really LOVE her work! My husband cried when he saw me walking down the aisle. I received so many compliments from streets people while we were out shooting! I felt like a model on the day! Thank you, thank you to the both of you for making my family and friends along with myself feel beautiful all day long!

As a bride-to-be, I had been tirelessly searching for the perfect makeup and hair styling team to make my wedding day dreams come true. After thorough research and numerous recommendations, I decided to book with Beauty Defined and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day!
From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless, and Stephanie was so quick to respond to all my questions, putting my worries at ease.
On the day of my wedding, the team arrived punctually and well-prepared. They were not only talented but also incredibly personable, which immediately put me and my bridal party at ease during the chaotic hours leading up to the ceremony. Their attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of my bridal look was flawless.
The makeup application was a work of art. Not only did my makeup look flawless, but it also felt comfortable and breathable throughout the entire event. It was a joy to not have to worry about touch-ups. I received countless compliments from my guests, and my husband couldn't take his eyes off me. The hair styling was equally impressive. My stylist transformed my hair into an elegant up-do that stayed in place despite a day filled with activities and a night of dancing. The attention to detail was remarkable, and I truly felt like a princess.
Beauty Defined played a significant role in making my wedding day unforgettable, and I will forever be grateful for their expertise and artistry. Thank you for helping me look and feel my absolute best on the most important day of my life!

Beauty Defined did my bridal hair and makeup and all of my bridesmaids/moms hair and makeup. I absolutely wouldn’t change anything. Myself and all of my bridesmaids/moms felt so confident and beautiful! Stephanie and Ariel were our artists and I feel so lucky to have booked with them! I cannot recommend them more!

My advice, just book it. I had the owner, Stephanie and she was hands down so perfect. I have never felt so beautiful! She did myself, MIL, MOB, and MOH. I loved that she does hair and makeup so you have one less person to book. She was so understanding when I changed my mind and made me feel at ease. I don't have perfect skin, it's dry and I have some aging, and not to mention that I got married in JUNE in GEORGIA and it lasted so well and never got cakey. She also made my family feel beautiful which was just as important as myself. My MIL and mother are both over 60 so it was their first time, so it can be overwhelming but they both LOVED their looks and still felt like themselves. My mom has pretty difficult super curly short hair but Stephanie still killed it. She also spent so much time on each of them which I am so grateful for. Stephanie rocks, and I'm sure the rest of her team does too. Now excuse me while I try to not download my entire album for this review.

I am SO grateful that I was able to find & book Beauty Defined to provide hair & makeup services for my wedding! Stephanie was extremely easy to work with when scheduling my practice session; she listened to what I envisioned my look to be for my wedding & when I wasn't in love with my hair style that I originally asked for, she came up with an even better solution for me! I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day, & that's all thanks to her & her team! They showed up promptly on time to my venue & started on my wedding party right away. Everyone was obsessed with their hair/makeup & the beauty Defined team made the process relaxing & easy! Highly recommend Beauty Defined to every bride!

Stephanie was simply wonderful to work with at every step of the way! So quick to respond and so nice! And I cannot say enough about how great my makeup looked! I was a little hesitant about no airbrush option, but I’ve had airbrush before and the work Stephanie and Avery did was even better. So do not let that hold you up if it is a concern. My make up lasted through happy tears, sweaty dancing, and everything in between.
One of my bridesmaids made the comment that she had never loved her hair and make up more and thought she looked better for my wedding than her own (and beauty was not an area she skimped on). Stephanie’s work is just that good!
If for any reason you’re on the fence, let this be your sign to make the plunge! You won’t be disappointed. I would seriously pick Stephanie and Avery a million times over!

Sydney is incredible!! Last year, my sister hired Stephanie and Sydney for her wedding, and after Sydney did my hair, I knew I needed her for my wedding! She works so efficiently and listens to exactly what you want! I did a trial run and wanted to make some changes for the big day, and she executed it so perfectly. I have never felt more beautiful. I would recommend her to anybody getting married soon or wanting to get their hair and makeup done!
11/17/2022 • Rachel F
Wow did they do a great job for my wedding! My girls and I looked stunning and our make up artists were so professional and friendly. Id do the whole wedding again just to have them glam me up a second time haha
11/17/2022 • June M
Stephanie was amazing! She did an awesome job on the bride and wedding party’s hair and makeup. She was accommodating to all our requests and answered all our questions thoroughly. She was pleasant, professional, and you could tell she had tons of experience. As the mother of the bride, I truly felt like she made me look 20 years younger!! I highly recommend her!
11/01/2022 • Brinley Z
Emma was spectacular for my wedding! She really paid attention to what everybody individually asked for, made suggestions, and had a beautiful touch. Every girl had their own individual look. She was on time, right on schedule all day, and fun to talk with. Highly recommend Beauty Defined!
10/25/2022 • Brennan P
Stephanie and Avery were everything I was looking for in hair and makeup. They were extreme professional and could accommodate to whatever I asked for. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family!
7/11/2022 • Hanna M
Stephanie and her team were absolutely amazing! They were on time, set up quickly and did an amazing job on everyone's hair and makeup. Stephanie really took her time doing my hair and makeup and made sure I was happy. I could not have felt more beautiful. I would recommend her most highly to anyone getting married or needing hair and make up for a special event.

Stephanie of Beauty Defined defied my expectations! She listened and took to heart my inspiration pictures for my trial and my vision came to life. On the day of she worked her magic not only for myself but also MOH, MOB & MOG making each one feel glamorous.
5/08/2022 • Lauren B
Thank you so much to Stephanie, Emma and Avery for everything for our wedding! The bridal party all looked absolutely fabulous and I certainly felt like a princess in my hair and makeup! Truly couldn't be happier!
Thank you again so much!
5/05/2022 • Shelby M
I could not have chosen a better HMU artist than Stephanie for my wedding day! My hair and makeup was stunning and held up for 12 hours. Avery also did a beautiful job on bridesmaids and moms. Book Beauty Defined for your wedding and you will not be disappointed!!
3/28/2022 • Meredith M
Our wedding ceremony was at 2PM and reception at 6PM, with pictures in between, so needless to say it was a VERY long day. My number 1 and number 2 concerns for HAMU were that my hair and makeup that would last 12+ hours, and had bridesmaid prices that I wasn't embarrassed to ask my friends and family to pay. Beauty Defined delivered on both, and I cannot recommend them enough!
I did the bride package with the trial and am so glad I did! The trial was amazing, I felt so confident in my hair and makeup choices and couldn't wait to see it all come together on my wedding day! I had a classic/polished up-do, so when I shared that a few hairs had come loose throughout the day during the trial, Stephanie went to work with extra bobby pins and hair spray to make sure everything stayed in place. By the end of the wedding night, I was seriously debating sleeping in my up-do because not a single hair had fallen. My fake eyelashes were still glued on, and I had no smudges to report despite many tears throughout the very long day. I also felt super glamorous while still looking like myself, which I really appreciated!
Overall, I am very satisfied with this vendor and would be thrilled to work with them again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

Beauty Defined is the best! Stephanie executed my hair perfectly and helped make me feel beautiful on the big day. My bridal party had nothing but great reviews as well. Beauty Defined was wonderful to work with!
11/23/2021 • Lindsay N
Stephanie and her team were amazing to work with! I had a trial session with Stephanie where I explained my vision but didn't exactly know what I wanted. She was able to listen and create my dream look, which had me feeling flawless on my wedding day! My bridesmaids and I were so happy with our hair and makeup and looking back at photos I am so happy I booked Beauty Defined. Thank you, Stephanie, for helping this bride feel truly beautiful on her big day!
11/03/2021 • Ashlee A
Stephanie and her team are all absolute GEMS! Consider yourself extremely lucky if you’re able to book Beauty Defined for your big day. They are sweet, so professional and worth every single penny (and then some). I had an intricate updo I wanted done for my wedding day. I was so nervous when booking a stylist because I find many can leave you with a frizzy style. Stephanie executed my updo flawlessly! It was sleek and stunning and not a hair came out of place throughout the night— even through the rain which occurred during my wedding photos post- ceremony! The updo was comfortable too! I’ve had other updos that just left me with a major headache. My makeup was flawless and complemented every facial feature. I truly felt stunning! I’ve never felt so confident and beautiful! All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup as well and each style/ makeup lasted the entire night! I’m so, SO grateful to have booked Beauty Defined for my wedding! 10/10 recommend!
10/17/2021 • Michelle L
Stephanie was fantastic, from the trial hair/makeup day to the wedding day! I barely wear any makeup normally which makes it tough to know what I wanted for my big day. She was so patient and worked through it all with me. After some day of tweaks it was everything I had envisioned! She also did a fantastic job with my bridesmaids and was able to fit in my MIL with late notice. 100% recommend!
10/14/2021 • Emily C
Stephanie was great to work with. She's very professional and organized. We had around 14 people who needed their hair/make up done, and it was not a problem for her & her team. Loved having her as part of our day.
10/13/2021 • Charlotte C
Stephanie was beyond incredible. Her crew traveled far to the mountains for us on my wedding and made all 9 of us girls feel and look SO Beautiful. She really listens to you and what you like. She doesn’t use a face sprayer thing which was awesome because I wanted a more simple, natural look. She did just that and more! I recommend having a hair and makeup trial to make things faster and smoother on your wedding day! She was professional, timely, affordable, and SO talented. I would recommend them to ANYONE!!!!
10/10/2021 • Kaitlin S
Stephanie and her team are truly artists! They were not only kind and clearly passionate about what they do, but they were professional, timely, responsive, and my girls and I could not have been happier with the results. Thank you, Beauty Defined, for working your magic to make me feel absolutely gorgeous on my special day. I cannot recommend this team enough!!
9/14/2021 • Kelsea P
Stephanie works magic! I hired Stephanie to do hair and makeup for myself (the bride), my five bridesmaids, the two moms, and our flower girl. Best decision! We got married on a hot August day and the makeup stayed on throughout all the sweaty photos. I loved that she helped all the gals get the hairstyle they envisioned and even made some changes before leaving when some gals decided to change it up last minute. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out and the girls and moms all agreed. In fact, my mom is looking into taking a class with Stephanie to learn how to do some of that magic herself now!
5/18/2021 • Alex L
Every bride needs Beauty Defined for their big day! Stephanie and her team are the absolute best! I can’t say enough good things!! Stephanie was a huge part of making my wedding a fairytale! She made my girls and I look and feel absolutely beautiful! Our hair and make up survived a whole day filled with lots of tears and rain! Stephanie is so sweet and goes above and beyond for her clients! She truly listens to what you want and helps make your dream a reality! I will be recommending her and her team to everyone!!
5/03/2021 • Abby P
I hired Stephanie as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! She was professional, yet personal, and made me feel so beautiful for my special day. The hair and makeup stayed flawless through sweat, tears, and lots of dancing! I wish she could do my makeup every day because I have never get more beautiful. If you are looking for a MUA for your wedding day, look no further. Stephanie is the best!
5/03/2021 • Arin L
LOVED my experience with Stephanie. I always feel the most beautiful after she glams me up. She is professional and always on time and super sweet. I will recommended her to everyone I know. My wedding day went so smoothly!

Stephanie and Beauty Defined were a huge part of what made our DREAM wedding come true, and we could not be more grateful!! Stephanie's incredibly sweet heart, calm demeanor, and friendly spirit made the entire process from trial session to wedding day an absolute joy. She is always professional, on-time, and organized. A couple of my girls changed their minds on which services they wanted done up to the last minute, and Stephanie was so gracious and understanding as she worked with us to make sure every single girl in my bridal party was taken care of. We made a couple minor changes from trial session to wedding day, and both times she far exceeded my expectations. She is very attentive and listens to exactly what you want. I did not know if the hair style I wanted was going to work with my hair type and length but, not only did she made it work, she made it seem effortless and look STUNNING. Her raw talent, expertise, and passion for what she does are so evident as she takes your vision and hopes for hair and makeup and makes them come to life!! My wedding day hair and makeup were absolute perfection. I would trust her with my hair and makeup over and over again, and could not recommend anyone more!<3

So personable! Stephanie was so helpful and understanding and helped me create the PERFECT vision for my wedding day hair! All of my bridesmaids ADORES her and her associates! She helped make me feel so beautiful on the best day of my life. I HIGHLY recommend Beauty Defined!
4/11/2021 • Alex A
Stephanie and her crew were so wonderful! Everyone in my party loved their hair and makeup and we got lots of compliments. It rained in the morning of my wedding day and everyone’s styling lasted through to the end of the night. Would definitely recommend!

Every Bride needs Beauty Defined on there Big Day! Stephanie made me look more beautiful than I ever thought possible! I felt glamorous but also natural. She is a true artist. Her calm demeanor is a blessing on what can be a hectic day. Emma also did an amazing job my Mom's are hard to do when it comes to hair and make up but they worked magic on them and they looked and left fabulous!
3/11/2021 • Jenny B
Cannot say enough great things about Stephanie! On time, organized and amazing at listening to exactly what her clients wanted! My makeup and hair have never looked better! Very impressed!!
1/14/2021 • Lauren W
Stephanie was truly the PERFECT vendor for me. She was encouraging and so sweet throughout the process and somehow made my vision come to life! I actually had zero changes for my wedding makeup when we did the trial and was so thrilled with the job she did on the day of the wedding. Some of my bridesmaids even commented on how they wanted her specifically to do their makeup on the day of because she IS THAT TALENTED!!!
12/08/2020 • Taylor H
Stephanie and her girls are the absolute DREAM TEAM! 🤩 They did our smaller wedding in March (due to covid) and then our big wedding in December. Both times I was OBSESSED with my hair/ makeup. They really take their time to listen to you and make you feel absolutely GORGEOUS! She will make your “Pinterest dreams” come to LIFE! Very professional and the sweetest, most caring human! I would recommend Beauty Defined to any bride!! 10/10
12/04/2020 • Cecelia C
Stephanie went above and beyond in my hair and makeup for my wedding!! From just a few pictures and my conversation with her about what I wanted my look to be for the wedding, she created my hair and makeup to be everything I imagined and more! Her ability to do my makeup in a way that was flawless and natural was amazing and the half up/half down curled hair was breathtaking. She also did hair/makeup for several of my bridesmaids and was able to create wonderful looks for each of them. Her flexibility, creativity, and outgoing personality made the whole process a great experience!
10/05/2020 • Meghan C
I am SO glad I chose Beauty Defined!Emily and Emma are both extremely talented and fun! Emily did my hair and makeup and made me feel like a beautiful goddess for my wedding day. I wanted a more natural, but polished look and Emily 100% delivered. My mom and bridal brigade all loved their hair and makeup as well. I highly recommend Beauty Defined.
9/29/2020 • Taylor B
Stephanie and her team were phenomenal!! After having to postpone the wedding due to COVID, Stephanie & her team, Ariel & Emily, made everything feel so effortless on the big day! When the wedding day finally rolled around, she made us feel extremely safe & took extra measures to ensure cleanliness was a top priority! I am such a huge fan of their ability to provide natural glam & not making me feel like I was anyone but myself. That was a big reason why I chose Beauty Defined! I also think it’s important to know that Stephanie is incredibly kind & such a great person to work with. I had the pleasure of talking with her on the phone before booking her & immediately knew there wasn’t anybody else I’d rather have as my hair/makeup team! I hope to work with Stephanie & Beauty Defined in the future! I highly recommend her and her team for any type of event, but especially wedding!!
2/09/2020 • Emily J
Stephanie did an amazing job! She made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. My bridesmaids looked beautiful, too!
Stephanie is also one of the nicest people! I had a few changes after trial and she really listened to me and made sure I looked exactly how I wanted.
And it all lasted all night!
She’s also got amazing lighting and music to play and the assistant who came to help was wonderful, too. Can’t say enough great things!
1/29/2020 • Leighanne H
I cannot recommend Stephanie and her team enough for your wedding day hair and makeup. I was definitely a little nervous about how I would look on my wedding day - there is a lot of pressure to look “the best you’ve ever looked”! But the second I had my trial with Stephanie, I knew she was going to do an amazing job. Not only is she extremely talented, but she listens to what you want. Based on how I wanted to look on my wedding day, she created a stunning look that made me feel beautiful, while still feeling like myself. That is a hard thing to do, and Steph nailed it. We also had several other ladies, including my mom and the mother of the groom, have their hair and makeup done, and everyone was happy with their final looks. Her team was prompt, helpful, professional, warm and talented, and it felt like having two other bridesmaids or girlfriends in the room with us while we were getting ready. If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your best on your wedding day, then Stephanie’s your girl.

Stephanie was such a dream to work with! She is so talented and listened intently to what I wanted and executed perfectly. She was timely and professional, while being personable and easy to talk to. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. I looked and felt exactly the way I wanted to and I owe it all to her! I highly recommend Stephanie with Beauty Defined!
1/07/2020 • Piper S
Stephanie was exceptional. She was very clear with all the details and the trial was excellent. As I made changes during the trial (and even after) she adapted and asked clarifying questions. My wedding look could not have been more perfect. She arrived on time and was a joy to have around. Both the MOB and MOG wanted very natural, not overly done looks and she accomplished that so well. People were commenting on how great they looked and they felt very comfortable with the results. Please do yourself a favor and book Stephanie as soon as you can.
1/06/2020 • Jamie G
Stephanie did a great job! She is very talented, sweet, and professional. She listened carefully to what I wanted during our practice trial and was fully prepared on my wedding day. She was punctual and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! My hair and makeup looked perfect the entire day. I am so happy I had Stephanie there on my special day. Thank you :)

Stephanie was amazing to work with. She is so sweet and friendly and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I found Stephanie on Instagram and reached out to her. I had to wait to book because my husband is in the military and things were unsure. She was very accommodating and understanding. I had my makeup and hair trial a month or two before my wedding. After the trial, I told her a few things I liked and didn't like. On my wedding day, my hair and makeup was perfect! It was exactly what I wanted. I am so glad that I had a trial session and that we worked out what I was envisioning. On the day of my wedding, Stephanie and her assistant were a great team and did my bridesmaid's hair and makeup and my mom and MIL. Everyone looked amazing! It even rained on my wedding day but our hair and makeup did not move!! I highly recommend Beauty Defined and I am very glad that I used her.
12/06/2019 • Amanda G
Stephanie is fantastic!! She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and her team of additional hair & make up artists did great work with my bridesmaids too. It’s so helpful to have one beauty vendor that can provide both hair and makeup for 10 people. Other vendors wanted to start at 6am so they alone could do everyone. But what an inconvenience to the wedding party! Stephanie knee just the right number of artists to bring in so that we were done on time, without having to start at the crack of dawn. That’s a big deal on a day like your wedding when you want to be well rested enough to party the night away. She’s a pro and I highly recommend her!!!
10/11/2019 • Katie J
Stephanie is so sweet and talented. I am so thankful I found her to do my make-up and hair. I knew I could not have picked anyone better after seeing my make-up and hair look for our engagement pictures. At my trail, she made sure I loved everything about my look and if I had any concerns, she made sure to address them. The day of my wedding I could not have felt more beautiful and flawless, loved everything about my look. I was worried that my make-up would come off because I knew I would be emotional, but it did not budge all night long (amazing). She also did my bridesmaids, Mother-in-law and grandmothers makeup and hair and they looked phenomenal and absolutely beautiful. She provided exactly what I had envisioned. Stephanie is very talented, and I could not recommend someone more to make you look beautiful and confident on your wedding day.
10/08/2019 • Mary L
Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She is an amazing hair/makeup artist and made my bridesmaids and I feel flawless. She can literally recreate anything you want to perfection! You will not be disappointed!

Stephanie came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine and I must say I am SO happy I decided to book with her! From my hair trial to my wedding day Stephanie was absolutely amazing to work with. I came into this completely clueless on how I wanted my hair (and my bridesmaids hair) to look and I swear she read my mind and nailed it! I received so many compliments on how beautiful my hair looked and I couldn’t agree more. I even had people asking for her information so they could use her in the future. Stephanie made me and my girls feel so beautiful and I am so thankful for her! I would recommend Beauty Defined over and over!
9/11/2019 • Rose W
Stephanie was amazing from trial to my wedding day. She was so attentive during my makeup trial and made sure everything was great. She had great communication and punctuality throughout everything. She was so kind and calming on my wedding day. I would recommend her to any bride to be! :)
7/16/2019 • Brooksley B
Stephanie came highly recommended to me by my photographer and now I totally see why! She did an amazing job on my hair and make up for my engagement pictures. She is super talented and totally exceeded my expectations! I received so many compliments on my look! Thanks again!
7/13/2019 • Najat B
Stephanie was AMAZING! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it could not have looked more perfect. I usually go with the bare minimum when it comes to my everyday look and I was hoping to find someone who could do a natural/bronzed look... Stephanie nailed it! From her talent, to her professionalism, to even offering me advice when I started feeling anxious, I am so happy I chose to go with Stephanie on my wedding day!
7/12/2019 • Lauren B
Stephanie did an amazing job!! She knows exactly what will look good on you and I’ve truly never had anyone do my hair & makeup as well as she did. I got so many compliments and felt so beautiful. She is professional, friendly, and stylish! I highly recommend her!! Thanks again, Stephanie :)
6/29/2019 • Tracie M
You won’t be disappointed! Stephanie did my hair and makeup for an important work event. The minute I saw my makeup I was so pleased! It felt so natural but still had an amazing “wow factor”! I got so many compliments and never felt more relaxed. Stephanie also made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. I loved my hair, too! Stephanie is a complete PRO!!! Now I can’t wait for a reason to hire her again.
6/27/2019 • Alyson T
Stephanie did such a great job! I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day!!
She made the whole process easy, from reserving the date, to making me feel comfortable at the trial, and then being punctual and professional on my big day. She listened and nailed exactly what I wanted to look like on my wedding day, and each one of my bridesmaids, all while keeping on time! I’ve recommended Stephanie and since been a bridesmaid in a friends wedding which Stephanie was there for hair/makeup, and she proved to be just as great!
I highly recommend Beauty Defined! 10/10

Stephanie made me look more beautiful than I ever thought possible! I felt glamorous but also natural. She is a true artist. Her calm demeanor is a blessing on what can be a hectic day. I would give her 100 stars if I could.

Awesome Makeup Artist. Made an old lady Glamorous for a day! Patient and professional! You can not go wrong with Stephanie she is the best!
6/08/2019 • Lauren F
Stephanie did my makeup for my sisters wedding in June at the beach. It was really hot and I was in a long dress so I was worried about all of my makeup sweating off. She did an amazing job and my makeup lasted all night. She talked me through every step of the process and asked me a lot about how I usually wear my makeup and what I was comfortable with so it matched my style. I was so pleased it looked beautiful. My eyes were my favorite part! She made everything look natural and glamourous at the same time.

Stephanie was amazing on my big day! We went to Aveda together and she had an amazing talent from day one! On my wedding day, she made me feel beautiful all while keeping me calm and relaxed for the day that I had ahead of me. She did exactly what I asked for with ease and made me a beautiful bride!!! ❤️

Stephanie was incredible! She did hair and makeup for my wedding and I received compliments on both all day and continue to receive compliments as photos roll in. Stephanie was so sweet, talented and you could tell so experienced with working with brides! I couldn’t be happier with her!!

Stephanie did my hair and makeup for a destination wedding. From our very first encounter, she was professional, punctual, friendly, and easy to work with. She helped me narrow down exactly how I wanted to look, and then she made sure we accomplished just that! If you’re looking for a hair/makeup stylist that will keep it real, make your priorities her priorities, and go over the top to make sure you feel beautiful (and comfortable), then she’s definitely the right choice! I’d recommend her to anyone.

Stephanie was one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding day! She was right on time and was so professional. She has such a calm demeanor about her that made it so enjoyable and relaxing which is everything you could ask for on such a big day! I wanted a natural, but glam makeup look and a classic updo and she hit it out of the park! I couldn’t have felt more beautiful and everything stayed all day/night through lots of happy tears and dancing! I will highly recommend booking Beauty Defined to all my friends!

Stephanie did such an awesome job on me and my bridesmaids the day of my wedding! I felt flawless and all my girls raved about her for weeks following. I also loved how quick yet efficient she is. I didn’t spend hours in the chair and could actually enjoy the moment. Would recommend her all day :)

I was the matron of honor in my best friend’s wedding and Stephanie did our make up. She was sweet and very personal! She did a fantastic job on all the make up and listened to what each girl wanted. She was very professional and had great products. The make up lasted all night & looked phenomenal in pictures! I highly recommend Stephanie!! You will not be disappointed.

A bride’s final look is one of the most important details of the wedding day. Stephanie did a FANTASTIC job on my make up for my March 2018 wedding. I felt beautiful, confident, and bridal. I also looked natural and like myself which was so important to me. Stephanie was on time, professional, and made all of my bridemaids look beautiful as well! She did such an amazing job that my maid of honor who was initially not planning to have her bridemaids do bridal make up for her June 2018 wedding, changed her mind after seeing Stephanie’s amazing work. Not only was she great but she was also affordable! I highly recommend Stephanie for any bridal make up!

Stephanie did my hair and makeup for my wedding and worked on a few of my bridesmaids as well. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so beautiful. She exceeded all of my expectations, paying attention to fine details and ensuring that I felt pampered, comfortable, and gorgeous. I’m so thankful she was a part of my big day!

I had the absolute best experience working with Stephanie with Beauty Defined for my wedding. She was on time and very professional. My hair and makeup was perfect. She has very good taste and uses the best products. I felt totally at ease the morning of my wedding because of her. You should absolutely choose Beauty Defined for your hair and makeup. It is worth every penny and then some.
