omen getting both hair and makeup done for my wedding, this included my mother and mother-in-law, 7 bridesmaids, plus myself. I have to say everyone looked stunning!! Everyone was so happy with both their hair and makeup! We had four total stylist the day of, Maria, Alexi, Ashely, and Caitlin. The team was so fun to work with, very friendly, and truly talented!! Maria did my makeup and Alexi did my hair, I was so impressed and felt so beautiful. I have frizzy hair, and very oily skin on top of struggling with rosacea. My makeup was flawless all night, even after a downpour with the weather, and dancing all night! My hair was exactly how I imagined when I chatted with Alexi. Plus my hair stayed perfectly in place, even with the humidity, it held up. I would 1000% recommend Elevated Hair and Makeup, such a talented team. Thank you for making us all feel beautiful!

The girls from elevate hair and makeup were fantastic! Anne did mine and the bridesmaid's hair and she was so professional and sweet. She meshed so well with my party and my girls ...
loved their hair! I also did a trial with Anne a few month before the wedding and it was great to get ideas and solidify a plan.
Ashley was our MUA & she is so talented! She did a perfect soft glam for me and the girls and our makeup stayed on until the end of the night! I also did a trial with her and I only had one change and it was perfect day of. She also meshed so well with my friends and honestly it was just a blast to have them both be a part of my day.
They both brought equipment and lighting to help with hair and makeup which was great because they could set up anywhere in the bridal sweet!
I highly highly recommend these girls and this company! Caitlin (The owner) was so great and easy to work with!
