Just do yourself a favor and hire Ciao Bella! Caitlin was absolutely amazing to work with. From our very first phone call, I knew she understand what I wanted and would make it a reality. I wasn’t wrong!
My makeup was natural and beautiful and looked amazing in my photos and in real life. I felt like myself but I also felt so beautiful!
My hair is so long and thick and she absolutely killed it (in a good way hehe) She did my hair exactly how I wanted. She also did my mom’s hair who has been particular in the past and loved it!
Caitlin is an amazing person to have working on you on your wedding day. She’s so calm and sweet. The best vibes. I honestly felt like I was chatting with an old friend. I feel so happy that I found her!!!
Caitlin and her team were an absolute dream to work with! From my initial inquiry to my wedding day, Caitlin made everything feel easy and comfortable. I am not a makeup girly, but Caitlin made me feel absolutely beautiful! I did a hair/makeup trial with Caitlin and it honestly felt like we had been friends for years! She was down to earth and incredibly easy to talk to. She took her time to understand my skin and how my hair would react to the heat and the different products she was using. When I showed her my inspo pictures, she knew exactly what I wanted and how to translate my desired look to my face with my skin type and tones. She also recommended a beautiful lipstick which I used on my wedding day and continue to use! She showed up on time (even a few minutes early!) the morning of the wedding and added the perfect amount of energy to the room with her team. Caitlin did my hair and makeup, and both lasted all day through the humidity, dancing all night and even the rain at the end of the night! She truly played an integral part in my wedding day and I am forever grateful for her. I highly recommend Caitlin and her team!
Caitlin was awesome! She was very professional and intuitive when it came to fine tuning the look I wanted to achieve for my special day. She was also very personable and made the experience very fun and stress free. I would absolutely recommend her.
When I tell you I felt like a beautiful sexy princess, I mean it. Caitlin and her team were just absolutely fantastic from the very beginning. Every detail I wanted was spot on! my hair was everything I had ever dreamed of for my wedding and my makeup was breathtaking. I wish I could hire Ciao Bella Beauty to do my hair and makeup every single day. I have recommended every single person I know or those I have seen on socials looking for hair and makeup, so I can only recommend them on here as well. I will scream it from the rooftops of every venue, HIRE CIAO BELLA BEAUTY!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!! Let your dreams and wishes come true and look and feel absolutely amazing
Melody is an outstanding makeup artist who brought my wedding vision to life! She is so unbelievably talented, extremely professional, and her calming presence made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free for me! All her make-up was top-quality and she has true expertise in what she does. Melody is the go-to artist for brides seeking an unforgettable experience and magical wedding day look. Highly recommended!
Caitlin and her team did an amazing job for my trial and at my 11/11/23 -- and her price point was very competitive! She did an amazing job -- I am completely un-savvy about makeup and she was able to understand and create what I wanted. I loved how I looked and would recommend her whole-heartedly. I'd also love to work with her again for future events.
I hired Catlin for my wedding on 10.15.23. She did my hair and makeup, my MOH's hair and makeup, and my mom's make up. She did a wonderful job! All of our hair and makeup stayed put all day! She also did a great job listening to our preferences and feedback which resulted in us getting the exact look that we were looking for! I had a small bridal team and only my MOH wanted her hair and makeup professionally done, so I appreciate the fact that Catlin's contract only required the bride's hair and makeup as a minimum.
Caitlin and her team (Melody + Amber) were amazing to work with! Caitlin was so flexible with us every step of the way, even when we had so many last-minute changes. My bridal party's hair and makeup turned out great - super natural, like we wanted! Would definitely recommend Ciao Bella!
Hiring Caitlin was the #1 decision we made for our wedding day. Caitlin and her team did hair and makeup for a total of 10 of us for my wedding day and they even finished earlier than what was originally planned. Prior to wedding day, I did two trials with Caitlin. Caitlin has such a calming presence and is truly the perfect person to be there for your special day. #2 best decision was hiring Caitlin to stay for touch ups- DO THIS!! Caitlin stayed through my photos at my venue and left right before our ceremony. She was there for our first look photos, bridal party and family photos and it's so evident in our photos that Caitlin was there to fix hair issues, redo lips, etc. Not only did she notice when my hair or makeup needed fixing she was SO good about jumping in to fix my bridesmaids hair and makeup in the middle of photos too and we are so thankful for this. You will not regret hiring Caitlin and her team for your wedding day!
I am so happy and thankful that I chose Ciao Bella Beauty Co.! Caitlin and her team were professional, sweet, positive, and a pleasure to work with. When I met her for my bridal hair and make up trial, I felt so comfortable and at ease to be around her. Not only was she so talented with my hair and make up, she was so down to earth, funny, and such a sweet person. Caitlin also gave me some great tips and was so knowledgeable about skin and hair treatment in preparation for the big day. The morning of my wedding, she was so sweet and helped make the atmosphere so relaxing and fun! I absolutely loved my hair and make up! She put in so much effort to make sure I was 100% comfortable with my hair and make up for my wedding day. She helped me feel so comfortable and my absolute best. All of my bridesmaid’s and my mother’s hair and hair up were stunning! I received so many compliments throughout the night on my hair and make up. I would definitely recommend Caitlin and her team for your upcoming wedding or event!
Caitlin and team did hair and makeup for myself and seven bridesmaids. Each and every one of us was impressed with the quality of the work--and how well Caitlin translated our wishes into reality. The makeup was natural and tasteful and took into consideration the uniqueness of each bridesmaid. The hair (updos, half-up/half-downs, blowouts, curls) was above and beyond expectations and lasted the entire day.
Not only is Caitlin an extremely talented professional, she has a fun, calming presence that any bride would be lucky to have around on her wedding day. I could not recommend Caitlin more highly!
I have now had the pleasure of working with Caitlin and her team for three weddings and all three looks have been absolutely amazing! The first time I met Caitlin and her team, it was for my friend's wedding, and not only did I absolutely LOVE my hair and makeup, the team was fun, personable, and set the tone for the joyous occasion! When it was time to plan for my wedding, it was a no-brainer about who I wanted to work with for hair and makeup. The prices were the most reasonable that I had seen, and I knew Caitlin and her team did fabulous work! It was a nice reunion because most of the bridesmaids were the same from one wedding to another. Everyone had different looks that they had wanted with updos, half-up half-downs, natural makeup and more glam. No matter the look, Caitlin and her team made it happen, and everyone looked beautiful! Caitlin made me look and feel like a princess! My look lasted the entire day and night, perfect for pictures! I was elated when I got to reunite with Caitlin and her team and my other friend's wedding about a month after mine. Her team feels like old friends that are amazing at hair and makeup instead of just another wedding vendor. I highly recommend Caitlin and her team!
We’ve used Caitlin and her team more than once! She and her team did my sister’s whole bridal party’s makeup for her wedding. I loved that our natural looks were enhanced and not overdone. We all still looked like ourselves but felt beautiful. Unfortunately, Caitlin was not available for my big day, but she promised that the girl she was sending my way would do an awesome job. She did not disappoint. Melody showed up, on time and was so sweet & funny. She asked what I wanted for hair and makeup, and I ended up loving what she did. She even asked me if there was anything I wanted adjusted. I pointed out that I wanted a little less eyeshadow and she adjusted it perfectly. I would definitely recommend anybody from Caitlin’s crew for any occasion.
Working with Caitlin was so amazing. She did the hair and makeup for me and my mom before my second wedding celebration, and it was absolutely perfect. She was so much fun to talk with as she was doing our looks--Immediately t was just like talking to a friend. Caitlin nailed exactly what I wanted and it held up through humidity and hours of dancing. I am so grateful I found Caitlin!
Caitlin and her team are such a pleasure to work with! I first met Caitlin when I was a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding, where she happened to be doing hair and makeup. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with the HMU artists that were brought to help out, but the two who did my makeup then were great and I looked fantastic!! Caitin and her team were also so fun and personable and really set the right tone for the morning of the wedding. Caitlin was the only vendor I knew I would definitely go with from the start of my wedding planning process and that’s still true. She was easy to work with and very straightforward about pricing and services, which are very affordable compared to much of what I’ve seen! The makeup/hair trial process was also great - it was initially difficult to find a time we were both available (hello 2022 wedding scene!) but she was extremely collaborative and helped me figure out what I wanted, since I am not a huge makeup or hair person!
The day of the wedding (May 2022): I had sprained my ankle the night before my wedding and was pretty bummed the morning after as we got started on the bridal party’s hair and makeup. Caitlin and her team were so sweet and cheered me up and helped shift the overall vibe! I loved my hair and makeup - even the stress acne was covered up perfectly! - as well as everyone else’s! Caitlin was so sweet about working around my elevated/iced ankle even though it was totally in the way. Though we ran a bit late on timing because of a few circumstances outside our control - welcome to weddings! - Caitlin masterfully prioritized the people who needed to be done first and stayed late to get everyone done. I am so happy we didn’t hesitate to book with Ciao Bella!
Words cannot express my gratitude for Caitlin and her team! I had 16 gals that needed glam done (yes, 16!) and Caitlin came out with the best team I could ever ask for. The morning of my wedding was organized, fun, and her team was amazingly professional, positive, and simply amazing. ALL my girls looked incredible and all their hair and make up stayed put for the whole day/night!
Caitlin is 10/10 incredibly amazing. From my trial to the day of, she is a next level human. We chose to have her stay for touch ups so she made sure I looked my best throughout photos and right before I walked down the aisle. Her presence is so calming and I felt truly lucky to have her with my on my big day!
Wow what can I say about Caitlin. First, if you are looking for a makeup artist that will make you feel comfortable, keep you laughing, and give you the best hair and makeup of your life, Caitlin is your girl. Caitlin goes above and beyond to ensure that you are comfortable and have everything you need on your wedding day to feel your best. She even helped me color match and find my hair extensions (texting me back and forth leading up to the wedding). My bridesmaids and moms are still raving about the team and their hair and makeup to this day. Ciao Bella truly is amazing.
What a wonderful experience I had. My trial was great and I felt beautiful. Although covid and my new wedding date conflicted with their availability, I would still recommend this team for your special day!
Caitlin and her team were awesome. Everyone in my bridal party, myself included, felt gorgeous all night (which was my goal). Leading up to my wedding Caitlin was awesome about being honest with me about different styles that would work/not work and was available for as many trials as I needed or wanted (only needed two LOL). Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Caitlin and Ciao Bella. I plan on using her in the future for any special events!
Caitlin was amazing to work with! We hit it off right from the makeup trial about 6 months before the wedding, and she remembered all the details we discussed then. She did my bridal hair and makeup as well as hair for most of my bridal party (a second person did their makeup, which was beautifully done as well). She also stayed for touchups, which was invaluable since we took our photos so early in the day - I would have melted if not for her!
It was such a great experience working with Caitlin!
Caitlin did a great job with my wedding day hair and makeup. She does a very natural makeup so if you're looking for heavier bolder look she might not be the right artist. She was accommodating on a last minute add on hair and showed up at 6:30am! She keeps it real and is very professional.
Caitlin is amazing!! I didn’t think initially that finding a makeup artist would be a challenge. I wanted to be beautiful on my wedding day but not overdone or feel heavy caked on makeup. At my trial, Caitlin asked so many questions and really got a feel for “me” and who I am. On my day she showed up ready, we stuck to our schedule and even finished early! I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Ciao Bella Makeup!!!
Caitlin and her team were so amazing! They maid me feel so beautiful and stress free on my wedding day! I highly recommend for your big day!
Caitlin and her team not only do an amazing job with hair and makeup, but Caitlin and the few girls I’ve worked with are all quite personable and make you feel so comfortable and at ease! I truly felt like I was getting my hair And makeup done by a friend and was able to express my opinions and feedback easily when asked questions about what exactly I wanted.
The makeup is light and looks natural and amazing, and Caitlin and her team can do any hairstyle you’re looking for! I highly recommend Ciao Bella Beauty to anyone In need of hair and/or makeup services!!
Love love love the Ciao Bella team!! Thy glammed up my best friend (the bride) and our whole squad for an unforgettable wedding! Caitlin and her whole team are incredible, friendly, and amazing at everything hair and makeup! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know! Wish I could look that beautiful every day!
I can’t rave about Ciao Bella Beauty enough. On top of having an incredibly talented team, they’re all so kind and made me feel very comfortable. I don’t usually like updos or getting my make up done (since I’m very picky). However, Caitlyn’s team somehow made me love all those things. I felt like it was almost my special day with how great they made me look and feel! In addition, the makeup and hair lasted all night, but she also provided touch up kits in case which I thought was really great. Would highly recommend for any event!
Can’t say enough good things!!! Super professional & did an amazing job!! Love the look they gave me & I didn’t even have to do any touch ups the entire night!
Caitlin and her team did my daughters Wedding. They were early kept on time for the entire wedding parties appointments. Amazing hair and makeup. I highly recommend.
Very professional team!
I absolutely love working with the Ciao Bella Beauty team. Caitlin and her gals really know how to make you feel beautiful and are all wonderful people! It is such a blast hanging with them while they work their magic. I have only had my makeup professionally done twice, and both times was by Ciao Bella, and both times it was perfection. I had my makeup done while I was a bridesmaid and I am not into heavy makeup (I like a natural look) and these gals know how to deliver! The whole bridal party looked stunning and felt amazing and the bride was breathtaking. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful team!
Caitlin and her team are wonderful to work with. The gals at Ciao Bella Beauty start all of our brides up for a great day- with smiling faces in great spirits ALWAYS leaving the Bride and Her Bridal Party feeling gorgeous all day long! Thank you Caitlin for being so easy to work with as a wedding planner, Bride and Bridesmaid. Cannot recommend them enough!
Ciao Bella was the perfect team for my wedding. Caitlin and her team were on time, professional and everyone loved there makeup and hair!! I fell like that never happens!! Caitlin, thank you for all that you did to make my day so special. You helped me stay calm and made the morning the best it could ever be.
Caitlin and her team were the absolute best. My mom and I both went in for a trial with Caitlin and she immediately was the person I was so excited to share an hour of my wedding day with. She is encouraging, listens to your comfort level of make up and wants to go with your vision. She is the absolute sweetest person, high quality airbrush make up. I was so happy with how my girls and I looked on my wedding day. I felt beautiful thanks to Caitlin who made me "Glow by Jlow" as she says ;) HIGH recommend!
Caitlin was amazing! She was exactly the person I was looking for & I am so glad she was apart of the getting ready part of my day! She made my dreams come true! I showed her a simple photo and she made it come to life. I love and valued her honesty! My bridesmaids loved her and had the same experience simple photo turned into perfect wedding hair. I never wore airbrush make up before and it was amazing and lasted all day.
Caitlin and her team are unbelievably talented. I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day! Caitlin was able to create exactly the look I wanted and tweak anything the way I wanted it. The way her team did my sister, mother, and cousins' hair and makeup was unreal. They all looked beyond gorgeous. Ciao Bella really helped my special day be a dream come true! Caitlin is not just a talented hair and makeup artist, but she genuinely cares about her clients. She makes sure everything is sanitary and never overpriced. She is so easy and fun to talk to. I cannot recommend her enough!
Caitlin made my wedding morning perfect!!! Caitlin makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet her.
She is extremely talented, friendly, funny, caring, and take pride in her work. Her main goal REALLY IS to make sure that YOU feel BEAUTIFUL. Her instructions on her website (the FAQ's) answer so many things! I will always re book her for any needs I may have, and pass her information along to all my friends. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Caitlin!!!!
CAITLIN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! She is amazing! I am not into wearing heavy make-up and she made sure to make my face look as natural as possible. My mom mother in law and all my bridesmaids looked just stunning. We cannot thank you and your partner enough! We all looked like goddesses. She is very fair priced and does an amazing job with schedule and making sure we are kept on track.
Caitlyn was AMAZING. She helped me look and feel beautiful for my big day. She went above and beyond to help me achieve the look I was going for.
Loved Caitlin and her team! Our trial went so smoothly, she knew exactly what I wanted and the vision I had for hair and makeup. She arrived early wedding day to set up and to get me ready. Her team was there on time ready to work and everyone loved them. They were all so kind and funny which helped with all the nervousness of the day. It was definitely a smooth and relaxing process getting ready with everyone, they all did such an amazing job and we all looked stunnning! Book her!
Caitlin and her team were incredible! I have truly never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and that was all because of Caitlin! I had 12 girls that needed glam and the team made sure everyone was stunning and finished on time! I cannot say enough amazing things about Ciao Bella Beauty Co! Thank you for everything!
Caitlin is the absolute best! I don’t have enough good things to say about her. She is so personable and is absolutely all about making you feel comfortable, beautiful, and for your vision to come to life. Caitlin was so patient and willing to answer any of my questions at any time and after my first trial, I had a change of heart on how wanted my hair and she made sure to find the time to do another trial so I was confident on my big day! Then on the wedding day, her and her assistant helped us all to have so much fun and listened to exactly what we wanted. My hair and now makeup turned out better than I had envisioned! I would 100% recommend Ciao Bella to all of my friends and family!
Caitlin and her team were absolutely amazing! They did hair and makeup for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, and my mother. The results were flawless and they did a fantastic job keeping to the schedule so that everyone was ready on time. Caitlin also stayed afterwards for touch-ups for photos and the ceremony which was invaluable - I can't say enough great things about her and her impeccable attention to detail!
Where do I even begin?! I couldn't be happier that I had Caitlin do my makeup for our wedding! She's just one of those people that everyone loves to be around. We all know that weddings can be stressful the day of, but she keeps you smiling, and truly made me relaxed the morning of our wedding. All the other girls that got their hair and makeup LOVED her too and we still talk about how great she was. She is truly passionate about what she does and made sure that my hair and makeup turned out the way I wanted it! Thank you soooo much, Caitlin.
I found Caitlin on the weddingwire and knot websites. I contacted her for her prices and she was quick to get back to me with a detailed description of her prices and what to expect. I decided to go with her because other reviews said she can get a large wedding party done with time to spare. When I met her for the bridal trial she came to my house and had everything ready to go. She was so down to earth and easy to talk to. It’s as if I knew her my whole life, as we had a lot in common. That made me feel so comfortable that I could not only depend on her makeup artistry but she was easy/fun to talk to. On the day of the wedding she had herself and another makeup artist. I had 9 bridesmaid, myself and my two parents (mom and step mom). She and the other makeup artist got everyone done on time and everyone looked amazing! I loved every aspect of my wedding makeup and would definitely use her again if I ever need my makeup done!
Caitlyn and her team are truly amazing!! She knew exactly what I wanted for myself and my ladies. She kept me calm throughout the day and went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect! Could not have asked for a better person to be there! Truly grateful for her!
I cannot say enough great things about Caitlin! She was quick to respond initially and scheduled me for a trial. She really listens to what you want and knows what will look best for your hair and makeup. She created an entire timeline and helped adjust it until it was perfect for everyone. The day of the wedding went flawlessly. She was on time and so easy to work with. She did everyone’s hair and had an assistant who did makeup who was just as good. They both nailed what my bridesmaids and mom wanted without ever doing a trial for them. Caitlin did my hair and makeup since she did my trial and it held up ALL DAY LONG. Done at 2pm and when I took it off after midnight it looked just as good. My entire party and myself got airbrush makeup done, but I believe she does regular as well. Highly recommend her and her team!
Caitlin was great to work with! I'm a bit afraid of getting my makeup done since I don't usually wear too much of it. She was somehow able to transform me into a bride without making me feel like my makeup was "caked" on. I received so many compliments and the best part was that it looked great in pictures too. She has a great personality and made me feel so comfortable throughout the wedding day even though I was pretty nervous. Definitely work with her!
Caitlin is AWESOME! She and her assistant, Kathleen, did a great job on hair and makeup for my wedding day. I can honestly say all my bridesmaids were very happy with the way they looked, which I've never seen in another wedding :). She really listened to my preferences during the trial and re-created the look perfectly on the big day. She also managed to stay slightly ahead of schedule. Caitlin was also fun to be around--she has a great personality and is a relaxing presence. You won't regret choosing Caitlin and Ciao Bella Beauty Co.!
These girls are the best! They truly make you feel beautiful and important on such a special day. They understand your look and execute it SO well!
Caitlin is beyond amazing at what she does. She is the most talented person I have ever seen when it comes to designing and executing that perfect updo or hairstyle.(trust me, I shopped many people before I found Caitlin ) She also has an amazing eye for makeup, and will leave you feeling beautiful after she is done. She is patient ,professional and very calming and soothing ( which you’ll appreciate when you’re in the moment with a nervous and jittery stomach! ) If I could give Caitlin 10 stars, I would. She is truly THE BEST!
