gh with her work. She took the time to find out what I liked/disliked, and made sure I was comfortable with everything she was doing. I trusted her 100% and knew she was going to deliver exactly what I asked for and more. Her work is beautiful. Elena did such an amazing job on me and my moms hair. I requested to make slight changes to the hair and she did not disappoint. She saw what I envisioned and made sure the hair stayed in place all night. I've had countless compliments throughout the whole day-night, my hair and makeup lasted all day even after dancing and crying. I had such a great time getting ready for my big day with these girls, Anna was dancing and jamming to the music with me (she loves reggae/reggaeton). I made a big last minute change but I was really grateful to Anna and Elena for accommodating me. I highly recommend these girls!

all night long, and my mom and sister, who also had their hair and makeup done by Elena, looked fantastic and were so happy with their looks. Everything was perfect and lasted throughout the entire day and night without needing any touch-ups. Most importantly, everything looked gorgeous in the photos. Elena took my ideas and turned them into reality. I highly recommend Elena and will definitely use her services again for future events. Her skills and professionalism are phenomenal!

since I don’t wear much makeup to begin with. From the start, they were attentive and thoughtful, asking questions to better understand what products I typically use and the kind of look I feel most comfortable in.
They created a beautiful, natural look that made me feel confident, radiant, and still completely recognizable as me. Elena and Anna were truly a pleasure to work with and are both incredibly talented. I felt so taken care of on such an important day, and my family members looked amazing as well. I cannot wait to work with them again in the future and would highly recommend them to any bride looking for a great hair and makeup experience.

dating, and incredibly thoughtful through the entire process. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Honestly, she felt like my therapist as much as my makeup artist during a very emotional time. 😂
On the day I was a complete anxious wreck, Anna grounded me, boosted my confidence, and made me feel like the best version of myself. Her talent is undeniable, but what truly sets her apart is her calming presence and genuine care for her clients. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any bride looking for not just beautiful makeup, but an experience that makes you feel supported and confident!

The way she did the makeup and hair for my sisters, my mom and myself (the bride) was beyond incredible.
I didn’t do a trial because I knew exactly what I wanted and Anna got it perfectly. You can trust her blindly, especially if you are like me and have a VERY fair skin. You will just look like yourself but even prettier. She knows what she is doing.
My mom is always concerned when she gets her makeup done by someone else because she has a mature skin but let me you, she looked absolutely insane. So natural and flawless.
I would call her again for any occasion, that’s for sure!

. She responded to all messages so quickly. On the day of the wedding, she really worked magic and made me feel so beautiful and confident all day! I had several people tell me that it was the most beautiful wedding makeup they had ever seen on a bride. My mom, mother in law, and bridesmaids also were so happy with their hair and makeup, and the entire team's energy made the morning so fun chatting with us and dancing to our music. I had an issue where the inner corset zipper of my wedding dress was broken, and Anna immediately jumped in and helped sew up the dress. My updo hair, makeup, AND dress stayed put all night through crazy dancing and sweating. Could not recommend this team more for all wedding needs!!

me feel like the best version of myself: beautiful, confident, and still completely “me.”
From the very beginning, Elena was professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She even did my hair trial twice when I changed my mind, and she handled it with so much patience and kindness. On the wedding day, she arrived right on time and brought such a calm, relaxed energy that set the tone for the whole morning. Getting ready with her felt easy, grounded, and genuinely enjoyable.
Elena listened so carefully to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. My makeup and hair held up all day, and I felt stunning in every photo and every moment.
I can’t recommend her highly enough — she’s talented, reassuring, and an absolute joy to work with. Brides, you will be in the best hands with her.

the trial — Anna and her team were professional, talented, and so easy to work with.
Anna was able to help me deviate from our initial trial hair look and made me look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. My hair tends to get frizzy because it’s naturally curly and it held up all night being down!!!
Not only is Anna and her team incredibly skilled, but they were also such a calming and positive presence on the morning of the wedding. They were able to work with last minute ideas and changes, kept everything on schedule, and made getting ready one of my favorite parts of the day.
If you’re looking for a team that truly listens, brings your vision to life, and makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, I can’t recommend them enough!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Anna and her assistant, Danielle! I found Bridal Squad from my friend who booked with them for her wedding, and I’m so glad we were able ...
to work together for my wedding in June.
Day to day, I am generally very light on makeup, so looking into a “bridal” look seemed overwhelming at first. A few months before the wedding, I had a trial with Anna and brought my mom along—it was such a fun, relaxed experience and gave us a chance to really get to know each other. Anna took the time to listen to what I wanted and made thoughtful suggestions that made me feel completely confident going into the big day. Anna is truly an artist, and we always felt she had our best interest at heart and would give insights into her approach for our looks (which we appreciated since we are not the experts here, she is!). After a great trial with little to no notes, we were that much more excited to see Anna on wedding day.
Anna and her assistant Danielle were incredible on the big day! They did hair and makeup for 7 of us (bride, Mom, MIL, Grandma, 2 bridesmaids, & 7-year-old flower girl) and every single person looked stunning. They really listened to what each of us wanted and made sure we all felt comfortable and confident. Everyone looked so naturally beautiful, and our hair and makeup lasted perfectly from morning through to the end of the night (even after lots of happy tears and dancing!).
Anna was calm, professional, and so talented, and Danielle was just as lovely—together they made the morning feel relaxed and fun. Danielle worked with my 87 year old grandma, and she was so kind and made her feel so beautiful, it was so special to see my grandma gain back some confidence and be more than comfortable all day. I can't thank them enough for being such a special part of our day. Highly, highly recommend!

The results were beyond my expectations. My hairstyle held up beautifully throughout the entire day and night. The makeup was flawless, highlighting my features in a natural yet radiant way. I received countless compliments from guests, and I felt truly beautiful and confident.
Ana’s dedication to her craft and her clients is evident in every aspect of her work. She is not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to be around. I wholeheartedly recommend Ana to any bride seeking a top-notch hairstylist and makeup artist for their special day.

I had about 15 girls getting hair/makeup done and every single one raved about how much they loved their hair & makeup. It was such a gift having these two there on my wedding day. I also switched my hair last minute without a trial and Elena NAILED it! She truly left no crumbs. So glad I found these women!!

girls for my wedding in October and everyone looked absolutely stunning!! They ran such a tight ship - all of the services ran on schedule and were so professional but fun throughout the morning.
I met with Anna several months before the wedding to do a hair/makeup trial and she was great at making suggestions based on what my vision was and absolutely loved the final result. The makeup looked flawless and elevated without being "over the top" and the hair (low bun with a bit of a side swoop) came out beautifully and held all day/night long - even with plenty of dancing and jumping around! :)
Extra shout outs - my maid of honor told me it was the first time she ever loved how her makeup came out for a wedding and my mom, who rarely wears makeup, is now curious about trying fake eyelashes because of how beautifully they made her eyes pop on my wedding day!
Couldn't be more appreciative of Anna and her team, their professionalism, incredible hair and makeup skills, and fun vibes/attitudes were everything I could have asked for!

My mom and I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my sister’s wedding. My sister found Elena on online and the entire time she was extremely responsive and ...
communicative with all parties involved which is much needed with all the chaos of wedding planning! I got my hair and makeup done first the day of the wedding, so I showed Elena the Inso pic I wanted for my hair and makeup and she knocked it out of the park and made me look like a million bucks. No notes, as she captured what I wanted perfectly! My hair and makeup lasted over 12 hours and she applied it in a way that didn’t feel heavy either as makeup usually does at the end of the day. My mom was running late the day of and Elena was so nice and patient and also worked her magic on my mom. The entire night we got nonstop comments from friends and family and I’m so glad my sister found Elena somehow. I will 100% hire Elena again for any future events!!

She even spent time with me on the phone the week of my wedding to discuss last minute ideas and changes I wanted. She is also very kind and such an enjoyable person to talk with and have a part of your special day. Anna and her team are absolutely exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

n the morning of a wedding. She is extremely professional and brought my vision to life perfectly. My makeup stayed all day and photographed beautifully. I ended up keeping her for a few hours of touch-ups during the first look, which I highly recommend. After the bridal trial, I decided to change my hair look, which Elena was able to manage seamlessly. The morning of the wedding, she was very patient as I showed her inspiration photos and asked for little adjustments here and there. I could not be happier with how my hair turned out. On the wedding day, Elena brought two artists with her, who my bridesmaids absolutely loved as well. I had 11 women in total getting hair and/or makeup that morning, which sounds hectic, but everything ran according to plan. Thank you, Bridal Squad, for making the morning of my wedding day absolutely perfect <3
