My bridesmaids and I loved our makeup from Blue Waves Bridal! Samantha and Lordes were extremely attentive and friendly, and very open to adjustments! It was wonderful how comfortable everyone was with them, even coupled with the stress of the wedding.

Samantha and Mandy did my bridesmaids' and my hair and makeup for my wedding recently and were absolutely amazing to work with. Leading up to the wedding, Samantha was so communicative, kind, and patient with all my millions of questions and time changes. On top of that, everyone (including myself) absolutely loved their looks! They're also just the sweetest and we had so much fun hanging out with them while they made us feel like a million bucks. :) Highly recommend Blue Waves!!

I had the most magical wedding with the help from Samantha and Candace! Samantha did my beautiful make up and Candace did my hair. They are such easy going, relaxing people that helped me feel pampered and at ease! Both of their communication was great throughout the year and they were very professional. Thanks again!

Samantha applied makeup for my daughter’s wedding - she was very professional with her application -first listening to the look I wanted , and with an artist’s skill she applied my makeup with perfection. She was on time and fun to have a conversation with while working. I would definitely hire her again for makeup needs and am scheduling a tiny tattoo with her also .Can’t wait to use her services again!

Samantha and Victoria were my stylist for my elopement at the Yellow House Inn. Both ladies were very timely, professional and did excellent work. They are very comfortable in new environments and very efficient at their jobs. They cater to what you like in terms of your style. 10/10 recommend. My hair and makeup stayed fresh and in place all night.

Samantha is amazing! She was unbelievably kind and compassionate. She worked with me one on one to nail down the exact look I was going for. She took into consideration all that I was wanting and was very thoughtful in her makeup choices (as I can be picky). I mentioned that I have sensitive skin and she did a great job of using products my skin was comfortable with already. Samantha has great attention to detail and made sure I loved the work along the way. Her studio was immaculately clean and organized and I felt very comfortable during my session. She made me feel so beautiful and confident on a day that was so special for me. I received so many compliments from my family and friends on how good my makeup looked that day. I highly recommend her services to anyone!
