Brady and her team were amazing. The trial was great, Brady came to my house and did my hair and makeup. She was efficient and organized and professional. Day of, she and her team ...
did an amazing job with both hair and makeup on myself, my bridesmaids and the moms. They even did touch ups prior to leaving. We were a head of schedule and finished with an hour to relax. Brady and her team were amazing, would highly recommend to any other bride and even book again if I were to need professional glam.
We had an unbelievably bad experience with Brides by Brady. My daughter hired her to do her makeup for her rehearsal dinner and for her wedding the next day. She was scheduled to c...
ome to our North County home at 1:00 to do the makeup for the rehearsal, allowing 2 1/2 hours, we had to be at the church at 3:30. At 12:45 my daughter received an email from Brady stating that she was uncomfortable approaching our home and was going to have to cancel both that day’s appointment and the following day’s (her wedding day) appointment. She offered no alternative, just canceled. My daughter emailed her back within 2 minutes to which she got no response. She tried to call her immediately as well and got no answer. By now she is in tears and scrambling to figure out what to do, with now only 2 hours until rehearsal. My other daughter also tried to call her and also got no answer. Finally, her sister did receive a call back an hour after the original email. At this point they were already at Ulta buying makeup and preparing to do the makeup themselves. The person who called said he was Brady’s husband and suggested meeting a a hotel, by this point there was no time, plus the other vendors (hair and videographer) were coming to our home for the wedding, we couldn’t change at this point even if we wanted to. If Brady didn’t want to come to our house that’s certainly her choice, but the way she canceled was inexcusable and unprofessional. To have her husband finally respond an entire hour later after repeatedly attempting to contact her is ridiculous. She never has responded to my daughter (the bride) either by email or phone, only her husband replied to the brides sister. If someone would have told me that a professional could do this I would not have believed it. If you live in North County I would think twice before hiring this vendor.
Brady is such a sweet breath of fresh air! She's hilarious, shows up early, and listens to you as her bride! She was easy going when I got sick and had to re-book my trial. She was...

Brady is amazing with both hair and make-up! She is talented, professional, friendly, easy-going and funny. While planning my wedding I was living in Florida and Brady was helpful ...
with every step and flexible when scheduling my hair and make-up trial for when I would be in town. I was indecisive about what to do with my hair and she was knowledgeable and honest with me about what would look best for my wedding day in-person and for photographs. My hair and make-up trial went perfectly, which made me relieved and excited for my wedding day. Brady has an awesome team she works with for every event. I love how reliable and skilled the entire team is. All of my wedding party looked gorgeous and I am still obsessed with how my hair and make-up turned out for my wedding. I would highly recommend Brady for wedding hair and make-up. She is the best!

I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for professional makeup services, and especially for a wedding!
Brady is the best hair/makeup artist you could ask for on your wedding day - full stop! She made me feel so beautiful and perfectly executed the vision I wanted and what we discuss...
ed during the trial. Plus everything stayed perfect the whole afternoon & evening (from 2pm - 11pm). She also did my sister's hair for the wedding. My sister has really thick hair and had an updo which also stayed put the whole day - a real rarity.
Also, she was such a lifesaver when another hair/makeup artist bailed on me with only 3 weeks until my wedding day. I asked my photographer and florist if they had any recommendations and Brady was the first person they both said. Brady was so understanding and was able to accommodate me for a trial within the week. She was a wonderful, calming personality and is such a gentle soul. It was truly as though the fates divined to have Brady step in to be there with me.
Not only did I have flawless hair and makeup, but Brady's kindness and overall personality can't make me recommend her enough. She deserves all of these five stars reviews and I hope anyone reading this decides to book her too!

Not only is Brady extremely professional and punctual, she is also incredibly sweet and personable. Her calming and reassuring presence is exactly what you want to set the tone on your wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough!

he time she took during the trial to figure out what looked best to her strict safety/cleaning procedures (It's important for COVID brides). She's somebody that you want around on your day. Not only did I feel great, but she was so great with my family. My make up and hair looked fantastic the whole day. I would tell any of my close friends to use her!
Highly recommend booking Brady!! Brady came highly recommended by our photographer - I find these vendor relationships to be valuable because they have awareness and preparedness o...

leading up to the special event.
Her talents catered to the varying looks requested by my wedding party, and her skills were very flexible with the broad age gaps between our group. She showed great care to helping me hide features that I was insecure about.
Most importantly, Brady was super laid back and fun to be around. She helped the bridal party stay relaxed during a somewhat stressful day, and she showed up early to each appointment, helping sooth unneeded anxiety. I’m so happy that Brady completed and complimented my wedding vision!
Having Brady do my hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She traveled to me and my wedding party which was so amazing having hair and makeup on site!...

I Know that she will always make me feel and look beautiful! You cannot go wrong with Brady! Love Love Love! Yes Yes Yes!
I am not sure 3500 characters is enough to describe how much I loved having Brady there on my wedding day. To start, she is so incredibly talented. She was able to bring my vision ...
of classic, elegant, and stunning to life. My makeup stayed all day and night long despite quite a few happy tears.
To add, she added a ray of sunshine to my morning when I needed it the most. She is bubbly, calm, and makes you feel so comfortable on a day that can bring lots of emotion and anxiety. Do yourself a favor, and book Brady for your wedding day.

Stop what you’re doing and book Brady to be your hair/makeup artist for all of the most important days of your life. Brady was the main stylist for my bridal party on my wedding da...
y. She did my engagement hair/makeup, a wedding hair trial, and then my hair and makeup for the big day along with hair/makeup for some of my bridesmaids and family members. By the time the wedding day arrived, it felt like I was being dolled up by a friend. We laughed and cried together (I was particularly emotional on the wedding day) while Brady took the extra time to make sure I loved how my hair and makeup turned out, even if I was emotional. My two tips to any brides-to-be are to 1) do a trial so that you are completely comfortable and confident in how you’ll look on your big day and 2) take pictures of your hair/makeup trial and show them again to your stylist on your wedding day so they can refer to them, easily again seeing exactly what you liked about your trial or want changed. That way, they’ll be refreshed on the style you loved even if they’ve had a ton of clients in between your trial appointment and wedding day. Overall, Brady is not only extremely talented at what she does, she is very kind, personable, and you’ll want to have her on your team as you get ready for the best day of your life. Thank you again, Brady!

t ease with her. My makeup looked very natural, and the airbrush foundation left me oil free and flawless all night (including a lot of dancing!). My mom had her makeup done somewhere else, and really did not like it. When she came to meet us where we were getting ready, Brady was able to fix it for her. What a relief, and my mom felt great that night! Brady is awesome, so do not hesitate to book her! It is definitely worth the cost to feel great on your big day!
Brady was a gem to work with. She's sweet, professional, helpful and has great knowledge on makeup trends, skin care, hair, etc.. Brady is an expert at what she does. She not only ...
did my makeup trial and make on my wedding day but also helped me with some acne I was having a few weeks before the wedding. She gave me a little regimen to follow and figured out the source of the acne. She is very fun to be around so it was nice having her there the morning of the wedding. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup which was great. My makeup looked flawless and stayed on all day despite the humid, muggy weather in STL in August. I will definitely try to work with her again when I have special events to attend. I can not recommend her enough. She's also great at responding quickly to emails and correspondence. LOVE HER!!
