lly rave about Erin—she was phenomenal from my trial all the way through the wedding day! My hair ended up looking even better than at the trial, and my makeup was stunning, which is saying a lot for someone who doesn’t wear much day-to-day. I truly felt beautiful, and I only wish I lived closer to Iowa so I could see Erin regularly!

ere professional and incredibly talented—every member of our bridal party looked and felt amazing.
Stephanie and her team took the time to understand each person’s style and vision, and the results were flawless. My bridal look was everything I hoped for—elegant, timeless, and perfectly me. The makeup lasted all day and night, and the hairstyles held up beautifully through dancing, photos, and happy tears.
Beyond the artistry, what really stood out was how kind and attentive the team was. They made the morning feel relaxed and joyful, which set the tone for the entire day. If you're looking for a beauty team that combines skill, professionalism, and heart, I can’t recommend Beauty Op by S. Meuller enough!

I had Beauty Op for hair and makeup at my wedding and was very impressed with them. All of my bridesmaids and the 2 moms looked great, and got exactly what they were wanting. They ...
were very attentive to what each bridesmaid was looking for in both hair and makeup, and everyone was very happy.
Stephanie did my hair and makeup, and she is awesome. I had a trial for hair and makeup to get an idea of what I wanted, and she helped talk me through different ideas and strategies to help me figure out my wedding day look. On the wedding day, we changed a couple of things for both hair and makeup, and she was completely okay with some of the changes I wanted. She also did such a great job on my hair, and a really great job on my makeup as well, especially for a girl who rarely wears makeup. I am very satisfied and highly recommend Beauty Op for your wedding hair and makeup!

Found BeautyOP with the help of TheKnot as I was new to the area and hadn't found hair services yet. Sent a few messages and got a great response! Got two of the best ladies for ha...
ir and makeup. Phelan and Rubi (respectively) were the best I could have asked for. They did 2 mom's, 3 maids, and me (the bride) in just over 4 hours with time to spare for touchups in Iowa wind and over 100deg heat index! Makeup stayed flawless and hair was perfect! (And I say that knowing my hair does NOT cooperate at all and I had a bridesmaid with hair like Rapunzel!)
Would highly recommend for smooth service and great energy for your bridal suite! Will be going to Stephanie's salon for my regular hair too ;)

weddings/events and hoped she had our date available, and she did! My bridal party and family really liked Stephanie on the day and were impressed with her work. She made them feel comfortable, relaxed, and made the process fun. I did a trial before our wedding day, and the day of, I decided to change how to do my hair. Stephanie was adept at rolling with the change and created the hairstyle I envisioned for my wedding day. She was fun and relaxed, which is needed on a wedding day.
