Mandy and her team were perfect for our wedding day. They were on time and took time to do our services and still finished early so we had plenty of time left in our day. My girls looked gorgeous and had a great time getting ready with them.
Would not recommend. It might have been a busy time of year for them but the communication was a big issue. I had a trial run prior to the big day, the makeup was good but again the communication was an issue, I had to reach out multiple times to schedule after they canceled due to sickness. Day of my wedding makeup artist I had was not good. I could have done a better job myself and ended up fixing my makeup. there was never a follow up on my experience. The girls that did come to do the services seemed confused on the tip compensation. (It was paid full with tip included a week prior) I would say save your money and do it yourself from my experience!!
I can't say enough fantastic words about Mandy! She was such a gem of a find! My entire bridal party LOVED her. She was so friendly, fun, and sweet. Most importantly, her makeup and hair skills we exceptional. I LOVED my bridal makeup and hair, and my bridesmaids LOVED the final results of their hair and makeup too. The icing on the cake was her personality. Mandy made the whole experience fun and exciting. She was also really lovely to conversate with and made me feel like we were old friends. Truly, look no further! Book with Mandy at Brides & Beauty <3
Shannon and Kelsey were great from start to finish! We did 2 trials to make sure I loved every single thing about my look. I had a two day wedding with multiple ceremonies and both looks were amazing and fit the theme for each day. They squeezed my mom into the schedule last minute and stayed on time despite changes to the schedule. I got multiple comments on how beautiful my hair and makeup looked, and it was all thanks to my amazing beauty team!! Highly recommend!
I LOVED MY MAKEUP! I felt like an absolute queen on my wedding day. I had scheduled a trial and Mandy had gotten sick, but we were very easily able to reschedule a trial with Liz. My mom and I loved her so much, so it was perfect that she could do my wedding day too. All of the bridesmaids and moms got their makeup done too and everyone looked incredible! Would highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much for everything!! I enjoyed having them be apart of my big day!! Mandy and Shannon nailed it with the hair and makeup!!! I loved everything about my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids did too!!! They finished with time to spare which made me feel at ease!! I Mandy was so sweet and professional to work with! I will definitely recommend Brides & Beauty to all my friends getting married soon!! Thanks again ladies ❤️
I absolutely loved working with Mandy! Mandy showed up early and ended up getting my and my bridesmaids' hair/make-up done well ahead of schedule! Even with make-up starting at 8 am, everyone looked great throughout our evening ceremony and reception (until 11 pm!).
Prior to my wedding day, I had decided to not do a trial and this ended up being perfectly fine! I was able to describe what I wanted (loose romantic updo and natural make-up) and Mandy did it beautifully! Thank you Mandy!
Brides and Beauty was incredible on my wedding day! I had 11 services and they all looked so beautiful. My bridemaids and I LOVED our make up and hair looks all night long. Mandy was the best and knowlegable about make up and hair. She was so fun to talk to and understood all the looks each gal wanted on this fun day. I HIGHLY recomend for your big day!
Not worth the money. Both hair and makeup were at least an hour late. Genesis my makeup artist was an hour a half late and once she got there did not apologize for the inconvenience. Because of the tardiness my bridesmaids did not get some things corrected to their hair and makeup to ensure I had enough time for mine. I also booked with this company for air brush which I got for my trial but did not receive on the day of. I emailed the owner as soon as I got back from my honeymoon letting her know I was not happy with paying a 20% gratuity up front and then the artists showing up late. In my contract it states that if myself or one of my bridesmaids would have been late there would be a charge. Well it’s been over a month since my wedding and I have not received my gratuity back that I had asked for. There was one apology from the owner but since everything was done on time at the end she didn’t really seem to care that I was upset. I understand being a few minutes late for traffic or missing a turn but an hour and a half means they did not care to be on time and that is after they pushed my start time from 9 am to 11. I waited for the owner to make things right before I posted a review but I feel like a month is long enough.
Save yourself the trouble and do NOT book with this company!! Communication was terrible. There was always an excuse when something went wrong. My makeup artist, Genesis, showed up TWO HOURS late on my wedding day. I was then fighting with them for 3 weeks following my wedding to get my money back for services that were not completed due to her being 2 hours late. The only good thing about the company was Melissa (I think was her name) that did our hair. She was on time, did great work and made great conversation.
I want to start out this review by stating that I completely understand that things happen and that sometime people have health conditions that that cannot control. When I first started talking with Brides & Beauty, they were decently responsive to conversations and helpful with answering questions. I eventually received a phone number which was helpful so all communication didn't have to be on The Knot. There was a bit of a delay in communication when booking my trial, but she was dealing with a loss, which is completely understandable. I was able to book my trail and the trail went fairly well. I did ask for a copy of our signed contract to be emailed to me, which it never was. I had also asked a few times for my total pricing (which wasn't provided to me until I was given the timeline for my wedding 14 days prior) which was after totals were due. This resulted in me overpaying, which was resolved in the end. After the trail, communication started to get very poor, and I wouldn't hear back on multiple occasions. I had requested a timeline to be provided earlier than 14 days, and did not get it until I asking for it twice 14 days prior to the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, I had reached out to Mandy at 07:42 (set up was supposed to be at 8) to let her know the hotel room that we were in. I received a text back that she was unable to make it (due to illness) and would be sending a replacement Kelsey. Like I stated earlier, I completely understand that things happen, but this is something that should have been communicated with me as soon as Mandy knew she was going to be unable to attend. I don't believe I would have been notified about this had I not reached out. Kelsey did arrive on time, but was not provided the timeline or reference pictures by Mandy. Kelsey was very professional and did a wonderful job with our hair and makeup. She was ahead of schedule which allowed us extra time with photos and time to relax. At the end of the day, I loved my hair and makeup more than I did at the trail. I was just very very upset with the lack of professional communication that I received from Mandy. For this reason, I cannot recommend their services. I had so much unnecessary anxiety due to the lack of communication that I received.
I was very disappointed with my experience with Brides & Beauty. I hired them over a year before my wedding and never felt like they did a good job with communication. I had to follow up after sending my signed contract and paying the deposit because they never confirmed that they received it and it took multiple weeks before getting a response.
I was able to schedule my trial where Kelsey listened to my requests and did a wonderful job.
I heard absolutely nothing from Mandy or her team leading up to the wedding. I had to reach out multiple times to confirm the number of people receiving services and never felt like some of my questions were answered. My contract stated that I would get the day-of schedule two weeks before the wedding which did not happen. I once again had to be the one to reach out and finally did get a schedule from them less than a week before the wedding which made scheduling other vendors very difficult.
I got a text from Mandy the morning of my wedding at 8am (the time she said she would be there and start setting up) that she was unable to make it and was sending two women that I had never met before. I completely understand that one of her children was sick and that she was trying to prevent spreading that illness, but to wait until the very last moment to tell me was unprofessional. She never told me why Kelsey was unable to make it.
My trial photos were NOT sent to her replacements so I was very lucky that I had my own photos from that day to show and go off of. The stylist that did my hair did something VERY different from my trial photo which I ultimately asked her to take down and redo. This whole scenario obviously caused a lot of stress for me the morning of my wedding. With some guidance from my bridesmaids, she eventually did do my hair in a way that I was happy with.
It is very disappointing to read all the other amazing reviews about Mandy and her team and wonder why I did not receive the same treatment. Based off my experience, I would never recommend Brides & Beauty to anyone planning their wedding.
I was very happy with how my hair and makeup turned out on the day of the wedding. I loved how I looked and couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Mandy and her team were very easy to get along with on the day of, and we had a blast on the morning of the wedding. I wish that it was easier to communicate with them, and we only received a schedule 14 days in advance which made the rest of planning with our other vendors a little difficult.
My experience with this company and the women who worked with us specifically was fantastic. Communication was good, punctual, and professional. I changed my hair and makeup style last minute and they had no problem rolling with the changes and making me feel comfortable. Would recommend to anyone!
Mandy made myself and all of my bridesmaids so beautiful for the day with no stress. She was sweet and professional and my makeup was rock solid. Stayed on the whole time. I accidentally slept in my eyelashes and those suckers were still looking good in the morning. Absolutely awesome. Definitely recommend.
Brides and Beauty did a great job with the hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. Mandy is professional and sweet, and she made me feel so beautiful for my wedding. My look lasted all day and I was so grateful that she worked with me to get myself and all my bridesmaids done in a timely fashion. The prices were affordable and the communication leading up to the big day was smooth. I definitely recommend Brides and Beauty for your big day!
I loved working with the team at Brides & Beauty - they were professional but also fit in perfectly and had fun with me and my bridesmaids while we were getting ready. Not to mention our hair and makeup looked beautiful! Definitely recommend for your big day!
Mandy, and her team were amazing! I ended up with a totally different look for my wedding day than at my trial and Ashley did an amazing job at capturing what I wanted even though I threw some changes at her last minute! My makeup turned out amazing and lasted all day! My hair was beautiful and I got compliments all day. They also did an amazing job with my bridal party and were so sweet. Happy to have them on our special day!
I loved working with BRIDES & BEAUTY! The girls were very professional and friendly and they did a great job on all of my bridesmaids, my mom and grandma as well as my husband’s mom and grandma. My hair and make up turned out even better than I imagined! Highly recommend!
I am a professional wedding coordinator and love to recommend BRIDES & BEAUTY to all my Columbus bridal clients looking for hair and makeup The artists were GREAT!!! Shannon was very professional, kind and so talented! You will not be disappointed by the quality of styling/artistry expertise and customer service from the amazing beauty team! Don't wait to book them, as they book up fast for prime weeding weekends! Thank you for making my job easy!
Mandy did a FANTASTIC job at making sure I got the look I wanted for my wedding. She was so honest at the trial when I showed her what I wanted in the beginning warning me that the hairstyle more than likely will require extensions. I have pretty thick corse hair so naturally I was thinking…nah I’ll be fine. So we went through the trial and at the end it just felt like something was missing and she was right. There wasn’t enough volume. While I wasn’t wanting to spend more….like she told me…we have one time to get this right. So I spent the extra money for hair extensions and she matched the color perfectly. And the extensions made ALL the difference. I knew she had my back from the beginning when she warned me before the trial. And when I tell you my hair was PERFECT the day of the wedding I mean it. Even better than what I was expecting. My husband and family wouldn’t stop talking about my hair all night and how great it looked. And the makeup!!! Ugh!! If you’re hesitant on doing the trial or spending the extra money in the end it’s all worth it. If I didn’t do either of this things, I would have regretted it and the fact that she was honest but at the same time so kind and personal made me trust her even more through the whole process. She knows what she is doing and she just wants to make you feel beautiful and that’s exactly what she did. All my bridesmaids loved her and I would 100% recommend brides and beauty💕💕
Mandy is AMAZING! She’s super friendly and a great listener to all of your needs! I was happy with my trial - I felt confident about the quality of makeup lasting throughout the day and felt beautiful while still natural. On the day of the wedding, some of her team were unavailable due to COVID but Mandy went above and beyond to make sure there were no delays in our schedule and everyone was done on time. She took the time to re-review what we talked about during the trial to confirm what I was wanting. She was also incredible working with my mom who was super anxious about her hair and makeup and spent extra time making sure she felt beautiful on our big day! Thank you!!
Brides and Beauty was great for my big day. they understood my vision and helped bring it to life.
I AM SO THANKFUL I FOUND BRIDES & BEAUTY! They saved my day!! My makeup artist cancelled on my last minutes, and I couldn't find anyone that was available until I posted on Facebook, they were highly recommended by several of my friends! Mandy was so professional and extremely kind to me during my time of a highly stressful situation!!! September is a busy month for weddings NO DOUBT.... I couldn't find anyone and all the vendors I did contact never responded!!! I messaged Mandy and I received a message back right away from her willing to help in any way!!! Mandy handled my emotions with such care and assured me everything will be perfect!! Mandy sent her team of artist, Shannon & Ashley and WOW I can't say enough how amazing my makeup and my bridal party's makeup turned out SO beautiful and flawless!!! I am so happy I found Brides & Beauty and I will highly recommend them to all my friends getting married!!!
THANK YOU, MANDY, SHANNON & ASHLEY SO MUCH!!!
I booked Brides & Beauty 9 months in advance for my wedding this September. It was difficult to get in contact with them early on. Closer to the wedding, she was more responsive. I had my trial and Mandy was responsive to what I wanted. Final counts were due two weeks before the wedding, but I didn't receive a timeline until a few days before. I tried to get in contact with her two days before the wedding with questions and received no answer. The night before the wedding, she says she is having health issues and might not be able to attend. Which is fine. I'm a nurse and have a chronic illness myself so I understand. I show up to my venue and no one is there to get started or set up. I booked my venue for two extra hours and paid lots of money to get in early thinking Mandy would be the only artist and we needed extra time. Then one person for hair and one person for makeup show up. I was so nervous thinking we had so much extra time. As someone who does makeup myself, and knows I can be particular and had a specific vision, I was appalled with how my makeup turned out. I asked for certain specific things to be done and the person who showed up did not listen to me at all. She also spent so much time on one of my bridesmaids that I didn't get started on until almost the time I was supposed to be ready. This ruined the whole trajectory of my day. I was sobbing. I have never felt more hideous on the day I was supposed to feel the most beautiful. I still haven't heard from anyone since. I feel duped. I wish I had had the option to get a refund and not get my makeup done and do it myself, but this business requires payment for all services in full the night before. So I paid for a trial and my makeup that was all for nothing. I felt horrible on my wedding day and it was one of my biggest regrets. I understand things happen, but it was an awful experience and I'll never get that day back. I don't look my best in my pictures, and I look back on how bad I looked that day and just feel sad.
It was great working with Mandy! During the trial she took the time to get to know me and ask lots of questions about the style of our wedding. I appreciated that she came on site to provide hair and makeup services, helped me and my friends and family relax as we got ready for the wedding, and even talked me through a small issue with another vendor. She was on time and very professional. Our hair and makeup looked great and lasted all night.
Working with Mandy was a great experience! She was professional and had great communication. She was attentive to my needs, as well as the needs of my bridal party. She really knows what she's doing and is an expert in her field! I can't tell you how many compliments I received on my makeup the day of my wedding. My hair and makeup lasted all day long in 85 degree weather. If you are having any doubts, hire Brides & Beauty, it'll be good for your cheekbones!
Mandy and her team were amazing! She did such an awesome job with my hair and makeup. I felt at ease after a great trial and she really listened to what I wanted. The bridal party also loved their looks. Mandy was responsive and on time. She helped me feel so relaxed the morning of the wedding and everything was on time. I highly recommend!
I was so happy that I hired Mandy for my wedding. She was so friendly and everyone looked awesome! She was on time, professional, and helped me feel relaxed on the big day. I would definitely recommend hiring her and her team!
phenomenal!!! so accommodating and captured exactly what i had envisioned. thank you mandy & her team!
Mandy and her staff are one of a kind! I was told early on to book with her, and I’m so glad I did. My trial was so comfortable and she really understood my vision. Our makeup was beautiful, and I loved having Mandy be part of my big day!
I truly could not have been happier with my decision to have Brides & Beauty do my hair and makeup and bridal party's hair and makeup for my wedding!! Mandy & Taylor did an AMAZING JOB and went above and beyond to make sure everyone loved their hair and makeup!! They were so sweet and talented! Thank you so much for making my day special! I will recommend Brides & Beauty to all my friends! XOXO
Saved the day when our scheduled stylist cancelled 3 days before. Quick and efficient and super talented! We finished ahead of schedule and everyone looked amazing!
Mandy and her team are amazing!! They were so quick, efficient, and professional. I had a vision in my head what I wanted my hair to look like as a bridesmaid and they made that vision come to life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Mandy and her team were available for us when we had a last minute cancellation on hair (3 days before the wedding!) she was constantly in communication with me and Ashley did an incredible job on our hair. She made sure we stayed on track of our timeline and made us all look beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this team.
*I was a bridesmaid in the wedding, so it was not my wedding. But I did book with Mandy and her team!*
Mandy saved the day for me when my wedding hair/makeup vendor cancelled a few months before the big day. My trial was a great experience and she was very attentive to what I was envisioning for my look. The day of was so crazy, but Mandy and Erika came right in and helped my bridesmaids, the moms and myself look our best. Everyone had great conversations with them both. We all looked stunning after they did hair and makeup. It lasted all day and was worth every penny. Do not hesitate to book Brides & Beauty for your wedding!
Carrie was my amazing makeup and hair artist for my wedding! She is so sweet, fun and professional. I had a great trial with her and she made my vision come to life and was open to suggestions. On the day of she brought assistant Cassandra to help her. They both arrived early and ready to start. They worked hard and efficiently. The girls and I LOVED our make up and hair! It lasted all day and night. They even helped girls branch out of their comfort zone with makeup and the girls were so glad they did. We love Carrie and Cassandra! Mandy the owner is also great to work with and flexible. I can't recommend Brides & Beauty enough!
Mandy worked with me constantly as I kept having to reschedule the wedding for Covid, and was super helpful in making sure my new dates still worked. She ended up needing to quarantine during my wedding weekend, but immediately had a new stylist to take her place with no difficulties. The hair and makeup turned out wonderful, all of my bridesmaids raves about it.
I chose Brides & Beauty to do the hair/makeup for myself (bride) and all of my bridesmaids for my wedding last month. Mandy and Carrie were the artists that day and did an AMAZING job. I ended up not doing a hair/makeup trial beforehand, but Mandy did a great job listening to what I wanted. I was so happy with how everything turned out for our wedding. We all looked and felt so beautiful thanks to them!!
Mandy was amazing through the whole wedding planning process and made me and my bridal party feel so beautiful the day of the wedding! Highly recommend!!
Brides & Beauty was a pleasure to work with for our pandemic wedding! We made several last minute changes to our June wedding due to COVID-19, but the team and Brides & Beauty still made sure our day was special. Jill did make up for me, my mom, my mother-in law, sister-in law, and maid of honor. She has a great touch and gave us all beautiful make up that looked both natural in person and popped on camera. Ashly did our hair and was so speedy that we could barely keep her chair full! She had great design with her styling and everyone's hair lasted all day! Thank you so much for making our small wedding still feel special!
Jill was the makeup artist for our wedding and made me look unbelievable!!! She also did hair and makeup for a few of my bridesmaids who also looked gorgeous! Definitely would recommend BRIDES & BEAUTY to anyone and everyone!
Mandy did a phenomenal job at my wedding and I would recommend her work in a heart beat! She was professional and did everything she could to make me feel my best for the special day. Thank you so much!
I can't recommend Brides & Beauty enough!! Mandy and Katelyn did the most beautiful job on everyone's hair and makeup on a tight schedule. They were kind, courteous, and very professional while also making the day special and fun. I have never felt more stunning than on my wedding day, and it's completely thanks to Brides & Beauty!
Mandy did a phenomenal job with both hair and makeup for myself and members of my daughter in law’s wedding party. She nailed the look for all of us working with our different personality types. She comes highly recommended from me going forward. Mandy and her team care about the people they serve and it shows!! From one extremely happy Mother in law 😊💕
I can’t say enough how WONDERFUL the Brides & Beauty team was on my wedding day!! We had 3 artist help us get ready. Both hair and makeup for 10 girls. Everyone loved everything and we all received so many compliments!! They are such a fun group To work with and I am forever grateful for them!! Through tears and a lot of dancing everything stayed on tack which I appreciated so much!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU and I will definitely recommend Brides & Beauty to everyone I know getting married!
Xoxo,
Hannah
The hair and makeup artists did a fantastic job. Jill did my trial and my day-of hair and makeup and she did just outstanding, elegant work. She listened to me and made adjustments based on my taste and day-of whims, and I couldn't be more grateful. My bridesmaids, friends, and mother/mother-in-law who got hair and makeup done were similarly thrilled with their results.
90% of the experience with planning and booking was professional and wonderful. However, there was a small snag. I had to add an additional hair appointment a couple of weeks before the wedding - this would require both stylists to come at the same time in the morning, rather than one coming about an hour later than the other. Unfortunately, this change wasn't communicated to the stylist. That is not the stylist's fault at all, and both stylists did a fantastic job catching up and keeping us (nearly) on schedule. I appreciate everything they did for us on such a special day!
Mandy and Karri did hair and make-up for myself, 3 bridesmaids, and 2 moms with and add on of a grandmother and the groom. I did my trial run with Mandy and loved everything. The hair was PERFECT and the make-up was FLAWLESS. More importantly, as someone who doesn't wear make-up very often, I didn't feel like a clown in the make-up.
Fast forward to day of...Mandy and Karri arrived promptly and got to work. These ladies were WONDERFUL to work with and we had such a great time with them. Karri finished a bit early and was actually able to do make-up for my grandmother too who wanted to get in on the fun!
Mandy did an amazing job n both my hair and make-up and made me feel ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS on my wedding day. Not a curl was out of place by the end of the night, either-and there was a lot of dancing.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, Mandy was a LIFESAVER. The groom suffered a fairly severe acne breakout a few days before the wedding and was feeling incredibly self-conscious and depressed. I asked her is she could hold on my make-up and maybe see if she could do make-up for him before the photographer showed up. She came to the rescue and was able to add in groom's make-up services as well while still getting my make-up done in time! He felt so relieved and visibly more relaxed after that. Of all the wonderful magic she worked that day, this meant the most to me. She made the time to make the most important person in my life feel more comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. We were so thankful and we can't thank her enough for that.
These ladies are PHENOMENAL. If you're looking for a team to make you feel like a queen on your big day, BOOK BRIDES AND BEAUTY, LLC.
Jill was the best! I wanted a bold lip and old Hollywood look and wow did she deliver! All night everyone was complimenting my makeup and look and ghat was completely due to Jill! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
I, like any other girl, gets nervous at the thought of someone else doing my make up, but this company truly nailed it. Karri did my hair and make up for my wedding and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more pretty in my life. She is so talented! I got so many compliments including MANY from my now husband. It made everything even more special for me. She also did my moms make up (who is a very simple woman) and She looked so beautiful and she was so happy with the results.. Misty, Ashley, Karri worked together for my bridal party of 8 plus my mom in a timely manner and everyone looked amazing. They were also very friendly and fun to be around. I HIGHLY recommend this company and if I’m ever in a wedding from here on out I would book these guys again without question.
I decided not to book them after 2 separate instances of them not getting back to me for over 2 weeks until I had to send a follow up email. I'm not willing to risk my hair and make up crew on a team that can't communicate well, and that doesn't prioritize me and my business.
Mandy and Misty did hair and makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaids and both mothers. She made everyone look beautiful for amazing pictures to cherish forever. Very easy to work with and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Mandy at Brides and Beauty was wonderful! I have blonde hair and fair skin and don’t typically wear a lot of makeup, and our wedding was outside in June, so for my makeup I wanted something beautiful but natural, and for my hair I wanted something off my neck but loose and flowy. Mandy instantly knew exactly what to do so that I looked natural but also felt glamorous on my wedding day - both for my makeup and hair!
Brides & Beauty are a DREAM to work with and did an amazing job on not only my hair and makeup, but my 7 bridesmaids, mother of bride and mother of the groom! These women are professional, fun, and dedicated to making your hair and makeup beautiful and last a long day of photos, happy tears, and dancing. A special shout out to Mandy for making me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day and becoming a new friend through this experience. BOOK BRIDES AND BEAUTY NOW!
Mandy did both hair and makeup for my bridal party and mother. She was such a trooper with it being the hottest day in May! Mandy did an incredible job; everyone looked flawless and felt totally transformed for my day! Thank you so much Mandy!!! Pricing is by far the best in Dayton area as well.
I recently got married and heard great things about Brides & Beauty, and how amazing they are!! All I can say is they go above and beyond to accommodate and make you feel the best you can ever feel or look! From the moment I went in for my trial to the day off it was perfect!!!!!! Alyssa and her team ROCK!! Everyone getting married looking for the best should use them, I promise you won't be disappointed!!!
I am so happy I chose Brides & Beauty for my wedding day hair and makeup! Both Artist (Mandy & Ashley) were so fun and kind, and easy to work. Everything was perfect and exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaids looked so beautiful too as well as my mother and grandmother and most important it lasted through rain and tears. I recommend Brides & Beauty for everything hair and makeup! Thanks so much girls!
Mandy and her team did an excellent job on my wedding day! My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had imagined and my bridesmaids all looked wonderful as well!
I loved my makeup! Misty did an amazing job!
Mandy is AMAZING! Everyone in our bridal party looked absolutely stunning. Mandy was very easy to work with, flexible and communicative. I will definitely be recommending Brides and Beauty to all of my friends! I couldn't have been happier or more beautiful on my wedding day!
Renee and her team were awesome! They came to our hotel, creating a stress-free, fun environment and kept me calm during all the craziness. Everyone's hair and make-up looked AMAZING for the entire day. Renee went above and beyond-even assisting the photographer with the posing, positioning the dress, etc. Brides and Beauty was easy to contact and very affordable. 100% recommend!
Mandy is the BEST of the best! She really listened to my wishes for hair and makeup and made sure I loved it... which I DID SO MUCH!!! She is easy to talk to and really went above and beyond to do everything she could to make my day special. There are so many options for hair and makeup, but Mandy is so sweet and extremely talented and passionate about her business and it really shows! I received so many compliments throughout my day! Most importantly not only did I look beautiful but I felt beautiful and it’s all thanks to her amazing skills! Thank you Mandy and I will recommend you and your team to all of my friends that are getting married in the near future!
Karri & Kelsey from Brides & Beauty, LLC are so talented! I, personally, worked with Karri through 2 trial runs for my day of hair & makeup and she made sure every detail was perfected so that I would be completely happy on my wedding day. In which, I was ecstatic! I do not wear much makeup on a day to day basis so I was pretty picky when it came to my wedding day, but she hit it right on the spot and it was perfect! My bridesmaids also raved on and on about how much they loved their hair and makeup! They are very professional and were always right on time. And when one of my bridesmaids decided to have her makeup done last minute, Karri was awesome and fit her right in! I would truly recommend Karri for your wedding day hair and makeup!
Mandy and Ashley were absolutely amazing!! Ashley did the hair on all of the bridesmaids and both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, while Mandy did makeup for everyone, and my (the brides) hair. I also had an incredible trial with Mandy 2 days before my wedding to accommodate living out of town. Both were so incredibly professional, kind, and true artists. Mandy did an outstanding job making each girls makeup match with their hair/eye color, skin color/type, age, and colors of the wedding while making everyone’s look incredibly cohesive. Ashley was able to give great recommendations for hair, and turn pictures/ideas that we came in with into masterpieces. I truly can’t thank Mandy and Ashley enough! For anyone looking for hair and makeup, don’t look any further, you can absolutely not go wrong with Brides & Beauty!
Karri was my hair and makeup artist and she did an amazing job. I was very indecisive about my hair initially, and she worked with me until we found the exact hairdo I wanted. She took her time and you could just tell that she was super dedicated to making sure my day was perfect! Not to mention, the team she brought for my bridesmaids were also awesome and they were very timely, we finished everyone’s hair and makeup 45 min ahead of schedule which was so awesome! I definitely recommend Brides and Beauty for your hair and makeup for your wedding day!
Love Love Love how my hair and makeup turned out!! Mandy was amazing and really listened to what I wanted for my wedding and gave me that perfect wedding makeup look and hairstyle. Super responsive about scheduling trials and being able to pay with Venmo was a big bonus for my bridesmaids and myself!
Brides and Beauty helped make my big day very easy! I went to my trial and we had somewhat of an idea of what I wanted. I'm not really a huge makeup person so I wasn't sure. My big day came it went by so fast. We got done just in time for me to leave to the venue. The best part is all of my bridemaids and myself looked amazing! They did a fantastic job!!! And we were all very pleased with the end result!
Mandy and Karri were easy to work with, and their results were beautiful. I got so many compliments on my hair and the bridesmaids all looked great and felt confident. The make-up was done as I wanted as well. The timing for a six person bridal party plus me (bride) was a little tricky--give yourself way more time than you think you'll need (we ran late by an hour). Paying in cash or Venmo only is a little narrow. Adding the Square Cash app or Paypal would expand their payment options. Tip: The location for a trial is closer to Dayton than Cincinnati.
I cannot say enough about Mandy and her hair and makeup abilities! On the day of my wedding, I decided I wanted something completely different than what we did at my trial. With anyone else, I would have been nervous to switch things up so last minute, but not with Mandy! She worked her magic, and I was floored by the result! I felt so stunning with my hair and makeup and could hardly wait for my groom to see me! Mandy is the sweetest and truly an artist.
Karri and her team did such a beautiful job! I used Karri for my hair and makeup for my bridal photos and my wedding day. It was suppose to rain the day of my bridals so we had to make last minute schedule changes which she was very responsive and flexible about. She took pictures and notes after my bridal trial to ensure everything would be just perfect on the day of. On the day of her and her team came to the hotel where we were getting married at. They did a great job, kept on schedule and made sure all my girls and moms loved everything before they left. Thank you Karri so much and I will be recommending Brides & Beauty!!
I was extremely happy with how everything turned out! Ashley was prompt and very personable! She really accomplished the hairstyles that everyone wanted! She listened to everyone's wishes and looked at our photos to create what we wanted. She was so GREAT!!! April was fantastic, my makeup was perfect and the bridesmaid looked fabulous! I LOVED how our makeup popped but looked natural and not overdone - a great balance! I was truly impressed and felt beautiful on my wedding day which is all thanks to Ashley and April :) I will definitely recommend Brides & Beauty to my family and friends.
Brides and Beauty Hair and Makeup was the best!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day - just like any bride should! :)
Ashley did an amazing job with all the girls hair! She was prompt and personal! She took the time to see what each bridesmaid wanted and looked at the pictures from online that girls had found and created they hairstyle they wanted.
April was the best makeup artist! She took her time and made sure everyone looked their very best! I love how she did everyone's airbrush makeup and eyelashes. We all looked natural and NOT overdone. It was a great balance!! April is also very knowledgeable and she knew how makeup would look in pictures. We all looked stunning! If I ever needed to get my hair or makeup done again I would definitely choose. them!
thank you ladies so much for making me feel beautiful on our special day!

Ah, where do I start... Ashley and her team were ABSOLUETLY INCREDIBLE!! I was very indecisive at first about how I wanted to do my hair so I ended up doing two trials. I showed Ashley the style I wanted and told her how I wanted to look and feel and she went above beyond and made me look flawless!! Everything turned out even better than our trials had gone and her team did beautiful job on my 8 bridesmaid's hair and makeup and we were even done a little earlier than her timeline which worked out perfectly. She managed to keep me calm as some hiccups had happened with other vendors. She is such a sweet person and I am thankful to have found her! I wouldn't change a thing!! Also, their pricing was extremely affordable compared to other vendors I checked out!! Anything I may need hair/makeup done for in the future, I will absolutely be going to her!!! 100000% recommend her and her team!!! :)
Mandy and Renee did hair and make-up for myself and five others on my wedding day. I love both my hair and make-up - Mandy was able to execute my vision perfectly and choose a hairstyle that worked with my hair. Everyone else also loved their hair and make-up, even my mom who doesn't normally wear make-up. I communicated with Mandy numerous times between my trial and the wedding day and she was always very responsive. She genuinely cared that I was 100% satisfied with everything. I definitely recommend Brides & Beauty!
Brides & Beauty, was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! Karri is the sweetest - very flexible and easy communicate with! Karri and her team came to my hotel and helped me, my 8 bridesmaids, and my mother get ready on my wedding day. All of my ladies looked BEAUTIFUL and everything went so smoothly and we were finished on time... Making everything stress free!! The pricing was also affordable for a bride on a budget! I highly recommend Brides & Beauty! HUGE - THANK YOU to Karri, Mandi and Ashley for making us look and feel beautiful :)
Would highly recommend! Mandy was amazing! She was always on time (for my trial and the day of), she calmed my nerves and made sure every aspect of my hair and makeup was perfect! And, on top of everything I believe that they were very fairly priced! Can’t go wrong with brides and beauty.
Let me start by saying after 6 FAILED trial runs with other top vendors I found on here, I am SO GRATEFUL I finally found Mandi with Brides & Beauty!! Not only is she extremely talented she is a such a beautiful person! She is so calming and a wonderful listener! She exceeded my expectations at my trial run and on my wedding made my dreams come true!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! I will definitely be sharing my experience with all my friends that are getting married and will recommend her to everyone!!!!!
First off, let me start by saying my bridesmaids' makeup looked great on the day of. However, I had a somewhat bad experience with this company. I was told a couple days before my wedding that they would have another appointment the morning of my wedding. They said they would arrive as close to the scheduled 10:00 am time as possible. That was fine with me, as they also offered to have a second makeup artist come to ensure everyone was done on time. The first makeup artist didn't arrive until close to 11:00 am, and the second one didn't arrive until after 1:00 pm. While everyone still was ready on time, I thought it was unprofessional for them to be that late, without at least a message to let me know. I was told the bride from the previous appointment kept adding things on and that's why it took so long, but it was unprofessional to allow that to happen knowing they had my appointment booked after that. In addition, I was paying for my mother's makeup as a gift to her and was told they accept cash or Venmo. I was going to pay with Venmo, and the day of I was told that they weren't able to accept Venmo. I didn't have cash on me, so my bridesmaids had to pay for my mother to get her makeup done, which I also was not happy about. It was not a lack of quality work that I was upset with, it was a lack of professionalism. I did not even receive a personal apology from them for the tardiness or for them not accepting the forms of payment they claimed to, which also frustrated me.
I chose Brides & Beauty LLC simply because of their reviews on the knot and their pricing. Their pricing is much more affordable compared to other locals. I did not meet Mandy prior to booking, I just simply went off reviews, and I can honestly say I made the best decision. Mandy is so nice and does an absolutely amazing job. When I went for my trial I showed her some ideas of hair and 1 picture of makeup and she did a fantastic job! For the day of she came to us and we didn't have to pay a fee. She did all my bridesmaids (6) makeup and they all looked absolutely beautiful! Kari did all of my bridesmaids hair (6) and did a fantastic job and none of them looked the same which I loved! They were all so nice and a lot of fun to have around. I went last for my hair and makeup, which Mandy did both for me. When I sat in the chair it was quiet and I was extremely anxious. Mandy picked up on my vibes and had someone turn on music right away and she went and got me tissues and gave me a few minutes to get myself together. That simply gesture of her noticing I was not okay and getting music turned on was amazing and really meant a lot. I can't say enough how absolutely amazing Mandy is and how much I recommend her! I am so glad I decided to go with her, the reviews don't do her justice :)
I worked with Hollie and she was AMAZING! She did an exceptional job with my hair and makeup, and Karri did an excellent job on bridesmaid and mother of the bride hair. Very professional,fun to work with, great value, and everyone very pleased with their look. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, ladies!
Mandy is AMAZING! She is so talented and fun to work with. She is able to glance at a photo and recreate the look you want, at the same time she will give her advice on what works best for your face and the look you are going for. She came to my parents house in Covington with her assistance Karri and they breezed through 5 hours of doing hair and makeup for the bridal party. Everyone looked amazing and was so happy with the outcome. I had airbrushed makeup and lashes that lasted all day through dancing and sweating. Her prices are great results are ever better. I would recommend her company to anyone in the Greater Cincinnati/NKY area.
We absolutely loved working with Mandy! I had 5 bridesmaids, and out of the 6 of us, 4 of us had VERY LONG hair. We gave her pictures and she made everyone look fantastic. My hair was stunning and I received compliments all day.
I would definitely recommend Mandy to any bride!
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding in Cinci on 9/27, and Mandy did hair and makeup for the bride, several bridesmaids, and the mothers of the bride and groom, and I must say - she is awesome! We all looked absolutely perfect and I can't recommend her more highly. She'll take in your input and do her magic and you'll look amazing!
What she'd say is a quirk, and what everyone else would say is incredible, is how she is obsessive about having no bobby pins show. I have hair that just grazes my shoulders, and she gave me a voluminous, Hepburn-esque bun with nothing but bobby pins that you could not tell were there. Her makeup skills are exceptional, too - flawless airbrush foundation with beautiful, fluttery false eyelashes that look so natural.
I really couldn't recommend her more highly!
I was very happy with the results of Mandy's work. She did my hair and makeup and It looked amazing as well as my bridesmaids hair. She was able to get my girls hair done and my hair and makeup all within the time frame. She was pleasant and very helpful. You could tell she liked doing her job and I was pleased to know that this is her focus, bridal hair and makeup. It's all she does! The cost was a little high especially because we had to blow dry our own hair and partially straighten our own hair too depending on what style we had chosen. I was not too pleased by having to do that especially at the price we were paying. However the results were great!!
Mandy did a beautiful job. We were running late but she was able to get all the girls done and my hair/makeup was just perfect. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality beautician.
When planning my wedding, I was most worried about my hair and makeup. Sounds crazy but I just wanted to look like myself on our big day. Mandy met me for my trial and showed her a few pictures. She went to work, and when I saw myself, I was blown away by just how perfectly she nailed down the look I wanted. Mandy took time to listen to what I wanted and did not want. She also did all the bridesmaids' hair as well as my mom and mother in law. Everyone was so pleased with their hair!! Because our wedding was in August, I was worried about wearing my hair down. She assured me the curl would last all day without poofing, and she didn't lie. My hair held its curl until the next morning! My makeup lasted as well; never smearing, fading or sweating off. She is awesome at what she does and her wonderful personality makes the morning of any wedding relaxing, cheerful and fun!
Mandy was an absolute God send for my wedding. She met with me at my mothers house to do my trial and we were able to nail down the look I wanted. The trial is so worth it!! On the day of my wedding she came to our hotel room and did my hair and make up as well as my four bridesmaids. My hair and makeup was beautiful and she made my bridesmaids look like a million bucks. I highly recommend getting your bridesmaids hair done. In the pictures everyone looked polished and elegant. I loved the eyelashes! She is so wonderful to talk to and she knew the time I needed to be done and had me done and my ladies in plenty of time. I would recommend her to anyone and I look forward to seeing her again at my best friends wedding in August!
Mandy was so amazing! She is the sweetest person in the world and an absolutely fantastic hair and makeup artist! I could not have loved my hair and makeup more for my wedding. She made me feel absolutely gorgeous and my pictures are turning out spectacular thanks to her. My husband couldn't get over how pretty I looked and just kept smiling at me. When we did our first look, all he could say was, "wow."
I had a very large bridal party and had a mini panic attack with how early we were going to have to be up the morning of the wedding in order to have everyone's hair and makeup done for pictures. Mandy pulled some strings and was able to get another makeup artist to come with her (3 total) so that we wouldn't have to wake up at the break of dawn. I cannot thank her enough for taking care of everything and making my day that much more special!
Really have amazing skills with make up. I love their work and customer service. The prices are very reasonable! Highly recommended!
I am so unbelievably thrilled that I chose Mandy for my wedding day. I did a trial for both my hair and make-up prior to the big day and they both turned out great. I couldn't wait for the actual wedding day. Mandy was so easy going and so easy to get along with. It felt like I had been friends with her for years. On the day of the wedding I had 4 BM get hair done, 5 BM get make-up done, my mom got hair and make-up and my mother in law got make-up. Mandy also did my hair and make-up. Mandy and Kerri did all of this in and a half hours and everyone looked flawless. They were both so much fun to have around and they made everyone look so beautiful. Mandy did both my hair and make-up. And as well as my trials went, the day of was even better. She made me look the best I ever have. And I couldn't have even imagined that I would look that good on my wedding day. I am seriously so thankful that I chose Mandy and that she was there for my big day.
I was originally planning on doing my own hair and makeup using some ideas I found on Pinterest. But after a few failed attempts at practicing I decided to hire a professional. I found a few vendors on theknot.com. I chose Brides and Beauty because all of the pictures were gorgeous and the pricing was very reasonable, compared to others in the area. I contacted Mandy and within a day she had replied and we began the process. I chose to do a trial run to help decide my final look. Not only was Mandy very professional with endless choices of makeup, but she was friendly, up beat and very knowledgeable about her profession. I felt completely comfortable having her do my make up and hair.
She was very flexible with me as I had a few financial set backs before the wedding and with my wedding party changing what they wanted done. She was more than happy to come to our hotel room to get us ready to go. She made sure we were 100% happy with our looks before she left and even when one of my bridesmaids wanted to adjust her look, Mandy was more then accommodating. I felt so pretty that day and got so many compliments from everyone.
I would highly recommend choosing Mandy for your big day...you will not be sorry!
I absolutely loved Mandy and Kerri who did the hair and makeup for my wedding. Kerri was very articulate and easy going if any of my girls wanted any changes. Mandy was also very thorough and passionate about what she does. My only complaint is that we had one other artist from a different company come and sub and she was not someone I did my trial with. Unfortunately, she was not my favorite person and had a bad attitude. I was so happy when Mandy came to the rescue and worked her magic! They were very convenient and came to us the day of as well as the trial. They were very kind and I felt beautiful when they finished my hair and makeup. Mandy and Kerri are an awesome team and I would recommend them greatly!
