I used this vendor for my wedding and engagement photos.
The online portal was easy to use and Katie was prompt with answering any questions I had.
The trial and day of hair and makeup was beautiful and executed beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend.
Katie was very communicative, helpful, and so speedy! All of the girls loved their makeup, and we were ahead of schedule by time all 8 of us had gone. The trial was very easy and overall I would recommend this company to others!
I used Glamour for multiple services! I used Katie and Kristy for my wedding hair and makeup. Everyone looked stunning and we all loved our looks.
I tried their Japanese head spa also, and it was heavenly. I would highly recommend, it’s an experience I will be getting more often!
Any questions?
We hired glamour beauty for our wedding. They arrived promptly and were organized. All of us loved our hair and makeup for the day. They were fun to get along with and made it easy for us!
I had a great experience with Glamour Beauty! I never had to stress or worry about anything. They have a very easy platform for communication, documents, payments and timelines. Sommer was wonderful to work with, she listened to my ideas and used inspiration pictures to make everything perfect.
Katie did my color and extensions before my wedding. She also did my trial for my bridal look. She was professional and very sweet. She provided me with tips and tricks and made suggestions on color and what would work best with the hair style I wanted.
Both my hair and makeup turned out beautiful and I will be back for my color and extensions! Book with Glamour Beauty for your wedding and salon services.

I urge you to save your money and go elsewhere for bridal services. I paid a lot of money for unprofessional and unethical services, and ended up looking trashy on my wedding day. I wish I could put into words how devastated I am with my bridal hair and makeup results. My artist, Leanne, did not deliver on what I asked for, was late, and argued with me and my family when we politely asked for changes. Additionally, I was charged a hotel fee, and my artist did not even stay in a hotel the night before, causing her to be late. The owner, Katie, unethically denied me a refund for this despite being charged for an event that did not occur. Do yourself a massive favor and book another company.

Hi Kallie,
I apologize you are unhappy with your services. The last time we spoke, I had explained that unfortunately we can not force an artist to stay in a hotel but any wedding over 3 hours away a hotel fee is sent to them for them to use. O...
ur artists are contracted through us and we highly encourage them to stay in the hotel overnight.
I am truly sorry if Leanne was combative and did not deliver what you asked for. That is not what we represent or strive to do at Glamour Beauty and we will be talking to the artist about this matter. We do take this seriously.
I do know Leanne was 10 minutes late and I did inform you that morning of she was going to be there shortly. I do apologize for the lateness as well.
Wishing you a happy new year.
Katie
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Glamour Beauty! I booked hair for myself, my mom, and 7 bridesmaids just about 3 weeks prior to my wedding day after my original hair person fell through. I was so thankful to find Glamour Beauty. Katie was incredibly responsive with answering questions and helping me get everything set up. I appreciated that so much! Katie did my hair and make-up for my Welcome Party the night before, and it turned out beautiful! Sommer did my hair for the wedding day, and it was absolutely gorgeous as well! Sommer also did my mom’s hair and two bridesmaids’ hair. I was happy to meet with Sommer prior to the wedding day to do a hair trial. Sommer made sure I loved my wedding hair. Abby did hair for 5 bridesmaids on the wedding day. Everyone loved their hair! I was thankful that Sommer and Abby came to our wedding venue site to do our hair. 10/10 recommend Glamour Beauty!
Sommer did an outstanding job! She showed up early for my event, was very professional, and was flexible with the makeup changes since our trial. The one thing I was worried about was my hair staying intact for the entire wedding, as I have very thick hair. My hair stayed ALL NIGHT!! I was very happy with my overall look and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Recommend!
I was SUPER nervous about getting my hair and makeup done. I wanted to make sure that I still looked like myself. I had never worn fake eyelashes or had airbrush done. Katie and her team made me feel so at ease and I couldn't be happier with the job they did! I even had a ton of allergies to different makeup products and Katie helped go through ingredients with me to make sure everything would be fine. Even on my trial day she was more than accommodating and even let me use my own eyeshadow and lipstick. VERY happy with Glamour Beauty and the work they did. I highly recommend! Especially to brides who are a bit nervous about "looking like themselves" on their wedding day. They did a GREAT job!

Thank you so much Caileigh! It was so great to meet you and your bridal party! Thank you for including a photo as well! You look beautiful! <3 I loved getting to know you and was honored to be part of your special day!
Katie and her team were so kind and chill on my wedding day. Katie produced the hair and makeup look that I was envisioning for myself. I felt so beautiful and comfortable with her results. I would recommend Glamour Beauty. I have already gone back to Katie for my personal haircut and colors.
SO happy with my choice! Katie was fantastic! She did both my hair and makeup and all of my bridesmaids and moms hair and we had two other artists helping with my bridesmaids makeup. She was so quick to respond to my emails during the planning process, was super helpful during my trial and gave me so many ideas! She was also open to any changes or opinions I had between my trial and the big day. Would highly recommend!!
Katie was very quick and detailed answering all of my questions. Macy was my makeup stylist and hair stylist. She was wonderful and explained all the processes. She asked questions pertaining to our skin and hair types. After the wedding my face didn't feel dehydrated nor did I break out with acne like I usually do after makeup. 10 out of 10 highly recommend Macy or anyone at Glamour Beauty.
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2023
Thank you Christina for your kind and thoughtful words! Macy is truly fantastic!! I will be passing this review along to her!!
Love the photos you submitted!! <3 Katie
Great professional group of artists. We used them for our hair and airbrush makeup. The makeup was so pretty and the hair styling was perfect too! Very organized and stress free for everyone!
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2023
Thank you so much Jenn! Your group was so much fun to work with!! We were honored to be part of your day! <3 Katie
I used Glamour Beauty for my wedding makeup and they did a fantastic job. During my trial, Katie walked me through different options and explained what she was doing so that I would feel comfortable on the day of my wedding. She listened intently when I explained things that I knew I didn’t like and presented other alternatives to test during the trial that could make me feel more comfortable. She took all of my suggestions and was very flexible two days before the wedding when all of my bridesmaids changed their minds and decided they wanted air brush makeup because of the heat. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Kiara arrived early before 7am to setup and were done about an hour early with myself and the 7 other women who needed their makeup done! I loved being ahead of schedule and it make the whole process much less stressful. Katie and Kiara came prepared, were very professional and made us all feel and look beautiful! I would highly recommend Glamour Beauty!!

Thank you Gina! I strive to provide you with the best experience on your special day! I will be letting Ki know as well!! :) We loved working and hanging out with you and bridal party!! <3 Katie
Great group of hair stylists and makeup artists. Punctual and very well educated. They are very talented and will make sure your day is special.
Punctual and attentive.
However need to be very specific if you have specific skin requirements.
Quite expensive.
Thank you, Glamour Beauty for helping the important women in my life feel beautiful. Our hair stylist, Sommer, was great and so flexible with the hectic schedule. It made the whole process less stressful.
I hired Glamour Beauty for my spring wedding. It was on a Sunday so I was glad they were able to make it out. Both artists I had, Macy and Sommer were professionals and well educated about their craft.
I used Katie with Glamour Beauty for my wedding and also for my hair color. The salon was located in a cute area of White Bear Lake. It can be a little hard to find so make Sure you follow her directions.
I loved my hair and makeup for my wedding. And my hair color. Will be seeing her again in 5 weeks for another color. Recommend.
I used Glamour Beauty for my wedding makeup. I opted for the airbrush makeup and loved the results it gave. During the trial Katie walked me through the application and let me know that any changes I needed she would be able to make too. I ended up asking for a different blush after wearing the makeup all day. She listened on my wedding day and it looked even more perfect. I felt confident in her skills.
I used Katie for my winter wedding this February. I was very impressed with her level of expertise. She had suggestions on looks that would suite both my hair type and facial shape. She helped me find extensions and I used her salon to color them as well to match. They looked exactly like my real hair. I wanted my eyes to REALLY pop and she definitely did that. She suggested a more subtle lip color and it looked perfect with the drama of the eyes. She is worth booking and reasonably priced.
I used Glamour Beauty for my wedding in January. Katie and Abby arrived on time at 7:30am and even finished 45 min early. They did me plus 6 other participants. Everyone was loved their hair and makeup. Most girls still had their hair and makeup done the next morning for brunch. All of our photos looked stunning. I would recommend them x10.
I used Glamour Beauty for my wedding. They arrived early, set up and got done in record timing. I have been in more than one wedding and usually hair and makeup runs late or just on time. This did not happen with them, they got done 30 minutes before the end time. Which was very nice since all of us could ask for touch ups or more lipstick! They were organized and friendly. We all loved our hair and makeup.
Kiara was our stylist and she did my hair plus all 7 of my bridesmaids! She was professional and made us all feel and look beautiful! It was exactly like bringing the salon to my house 🥰
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2022
Thank you Allison for your kind words! I am thrilled to hear your wedding day was beautiful! Kiara is so talented.
Artists Katie and Sommer did a perfect job on my wedding.
I did have a couple tweaks with my trial with Katie. I wanted full coverage versus light and fuller lashes. It turned out even better the day of. Katie made all the correct adjustments.
Sommer did bridal party hair and makeup. She was accommodating and very helpful.
Everyone loved their hair and makeup and it lasted through out the whole night. Katie recommended getting my own lipstick for touch ups and I definitely agree! It's also fun to be able to keep your wedding day lipstick!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2022
Thank you Serena! I truly enjoyed your wedding!! :)
Makeup artist Eden did a beautiful job on my wedding day makeup. She was prompt, understanding, and worked with me on any changes I needed.
My makeup matched perfectly with my skin tone and lasted throughout the WHOLE morning-evening.
Highly recommend
I went back and forth for months trying to decide if I wanted to hire a stylist for my wedding. I don't wear much makeup and typically wear my hair in a ponytail. However, I decided it was something to make the wedding day feel special. After struggling to find someone who was available, affordable, and willing to travel to the North Shore of Lake Superior I finally found Glamour Beauty. Katie, the owner, was extremely prompt and patient when I had questions. Even when I dragged my feet a bit before committing. The contract was itemized and I knew what my services would be and what they would cost.
Something to be aware of for this vendor: the Glamour Beauty contract states you cannot amend the total cost due within 6 weeks of the event. They also will not schedule a trial with you prior to 6 weeks out. This means they will not schedule your hair and makeup trial until you are contractually locked into your final rate, even if you want to eliminate services after your trial. This to me seems pretty dubious and obviously an insurance tactic by design. For my experience, I felt pretty shaken after my hair and makeup trial. My makeup felt thick, cakey, and heavy. And my hair really did not look like the inspiration photos we'd gone over together in salon. After the trial I opted to do my own makeup for the wedding, but was still contractually obligated to pay for expensive bridal makeup services.
On the wedding day, our stylist Sommer arrived on time and was friendly and professional throughout the morning. I had shared a different inspiration photo with her than the hair trial and she checked in with me multiple times while she worked to make sure I was happy with the result, which I greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, it took longer to style five ladies than we were quoted on the schedule and we finished later than the hard end time I had submitted. As a result, I was an hour late to my wedding ceremony.
In summary:
-I would not recommend Glamour Beauty based on my personal wedding experience.
-If possible, brides who are uncertain about their hair and makeup should schedule a trial before signing a contract with Glamour Beauty. This will let you know if their hair and makeup services are right for you.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2022
Hi Lauren,
I apologize for your unsatisfactory experience with us. I know Sommer did try to finish on line but since there was only one stylist booked - it can end up going later. There was an option to add on another artist but from my underst...
anding you rather not pay for the additional travel fees since you were over 4 hours away.
The deposit is non refundable regardless if you change services before or after the 6 weeks. This allows us to ensure that there is an artist available and they block off their whole day to service that wedding booked. Otherwise, if there are cancellations the artist wouldn't be getting paid. We do offer multiple trials as well if you were not happy with the first or wanted to try multiple looks. :)
Thank you for the review as we strive to provide quality services.
Talented group of artists. Katie was easy to work with throughout the whole process of my wedding. My makeup and hair looked beautiful and she executed what I wanted and gave some suggestions that helped achieve my vision.
Reasonably priced, efficient, professional, and highly skilled at subtle glamour- Katie and Macy did a wonderful job on our large wedding party that included 4 bridesmaids, 3 flower girls, and myself the bride. Not only did they get everyone done ahead of schedule, but the hair and makeup lasted all day, no small feat in -20 weather. Both eyeliner and curls did not budge, even after close to 2 hours outside for photos! I loved them so much,
that I reccomended them to a friend who recently got married. I'm happy to report that my MOH hair and makeup looked stunning and also held up all day in the hot summer weather.
Katie was amazing! She is not only extremely talented but so nice and easy to work with too. She and her associate did all 8 bridesmaids hair and make up, plus moms and me in such a timely manner. Everyone looked amazing and I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day.
Macy was my stylist and she did a great job with my bridal hair and makeup! The bridesmaids looked beautiful as well.
Glamour was easy to work with and I really appreciated their website. Extremely quick with their communication whenever I had a question as well.
I highly suggest using Glamour Beauty for your wedding day hair and makeup. Katie and Leanne were able to knock out all of us ladies in a timely manner. The looks provided exceeded expectations. We had 10 hair and makeup plus myself. All the girls did half up dos with a glam makeup. Katie did my trial and day of and I was more than thrilled. I felt glamorous and beautiful. I was nervous that they wouldn't know how to work with almond asian eyes but they clearly had lots of experience.
Glamour Beauty was a breeze to work with for my wedding. They were experienced stylists. They executed the looks flawlessly and finished early. I would recommend them to any fellow brides looking for a beauty team.
Glamour Beauty was so easy to work with. Katie and Abby did hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. Everyone kept saying how much they loved their hair and makeup. The makeup stayed throughout the evening and the hair did too! They were a fun addition to our morning.
Glamour Beauty did an amazing for my wedding last weekend 10/9. Katie and the team were easy to communicate with throughout the whole booking process from start to finish. They were on time for our early start time (6:45 AM). The trial went great and I felt great on my wedding day.

Thank you Rachel for your kind words! We loved being part of your special day! <3
A massive thank you to Katie and her crew for making the hair and makeup for my wedding an absolute dream! Katie was so sweet and wonderful to work with, her website was very helpful for keeping track of important contracts and other information! The makeup was flawless, and she really took my ideas and turned them into reality! The hair for the wedding party was so cute and perfect and I just can't say enough wonderful things about her and her crew! Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2021
Thank you Emily!!! You looked so beautiful!
We worked with Katie and Kiara and had such a great experience! Everyone looked beautiful and our makeup lasted over 12 hours through humidity, rain, and sweating on the dance floor. They were super efficient and finished everyone’s services ahead of schedule so we could stick to our timeline for the day. During the planning process Katie was so responsive and helpful with questions, adjustments, and trial coordination.
Macy was fantastic to work with on my wedding. She was professional of and very sweet. She made me feel at ease and I loved how she explained her process and the benefits airbrush and skin care. Thanks to Macy I felt beautiful!
I hired Glamour Beauty before the pandemic and ended up having to reschedule for my mini ceremony. They were more than accommodating with setting up a new date. I had zero problems with them. The makeup for myself and sisters turned out beautiful. We opted for the airbrush and were scared that it would smudge with the masks. It didn't move an inch. I will be having them do our reception too. I can't say enough kind things about Glamour.
Horror-story experience I had my bridal hair and makeup trial with Macy last summer. The place was a very sketchy room in White Bear Lake, but I didn't care about it, and she told me they were remodeling, so fine (be aware if you DO care about that kind of stuff). Macy was sweet and friendly, but she really struggled to do my makeup and hair. I chose their full airbrush package and it was very bad. Her airbrush gun kept spitting the product on my face, so she would spend a few seconds using the airbrush and then a minute tapping my face with a sponge, trying to spread the product, back to the airbrush and then tapping, over and over again. It took FOREVER and in the end my face looked all spotty. The airbrush gave me no coverage and I literally had dots of makeup all over. I told her I didn't like it and she redid everything without the terrible quality airbrush. It didn't turn out great, but it was a lot better. Then we moved to hair (I had asked for a half-up, half-down, with a braid on the side and curls). My hair turned out completely different from the inspiration photo I gave them. She struggled for a long time to do the braid (which turned out messy and weird). She even apologized for it and said it was her weak point. My hair turned out suuuper frizzy and with a terrible volume. I was there for hours while she tried to fix it and not much improvement happened, but I thought everything would be ok, after all that was just the trial and I thought the owner would accommodate something.
I went home and called Katie later that day and that was when the horror story started. I have never talked to such a rude vendor. Not for a second she acknowledged their mistakes; she was unwilling to get me another stylist and refused to cancel the $700 package she had sold me, without keeping my deposit; all that while being TERRIBLY RUDE. She blamed it all on my hair type, even though they never specified it was a hair type they couldn't work with (I have thin straight hair and never had any problems when getting it styled before). She made me cry on the phone and remained stone cold.
In order to not lose the deposit (which she was unwilling to return), I kept Macy for one of my bridesmaids and MIL and had her do a simple makeup on me, without any of the airbrush scam. My wedding coordinator was able to get me a last minute hair appointment with someone from Hair by Heidi (honestly just go with them if you are on the look) and she did an amazing job on my hair.
Response from the Vendor on 03/16/2021
Hi, I would first like to say I am sorry that you didn't have a good experience at Glamour Beauty. We strive to make each of brides visions come to life. I spoke with Macy who said that the day of you never told her you were unhappy and that sh...
e did the exact same look from the trial. Sometimes with airbrush artists do use sponges to help the airbrush sink into the skin. Airbrush as great as it is, it isn't always meant for everybody. it is very light weight compared to traditional makeup which makes it feel as though you don't have any coverage. I do remember talking to via the phone after your trial. I apologized for your unhappiness and offered an additional trial at no cost with Macy. Which until the day before you declined. Unfortunately we do book out quite far in advance so I didn't have any additional artists free. I tried recommending different options for your hair as you continued to yell at me about the weather and how you wanted me to confirm that the weather would be nice on your wedding day. I unfortunately am not able to control the weather and how that affects your hairstyle. But I did suggest a blow out the day before. In your hair trial form you list that your hair is naturally wavy and thick so I am unsure why you are now saying it is thin and straight. The deposit is non refundable as it guarantees the artist for the wedding day and that we don't book an additional wedding. Your package was not $700 but far less than that. The way you made Macy and myself feel as we tried to work with you to do additional trials and make it work with your schedule and than you refused that as well. We can only offer so much and when you decline it there is not much we are able to do.
Katie and the team at Glamour Beauty were AMAZING! She was so responsive and their communication process is so organized. We had 13 girls total getting hair and makeup done and the process was so seamless. They listened to what each girl wanted and everyone felt absolutely BEAUTIFUL! As the bride, I did the hair and full glam package and was so glad I did! My hair and makeup stayed flawless from 8am when I got it done until the end of the night. It was exactly what I asked for and the trial done previously made me feel at ease on the day of. We had Katie, Macy, and Tommy and they were all on time, did beautiful jobs, and finished in less than 3 hours which was sooner than I had planned for. We highly recommend Glamour Beauty for any professional event!
I am so thankful for Glamour Beauty! During the wedding planning process, Glamour Beauty was the most responsive of ALL my vendors. I’m not kidding, I would sometimes reach out after midnight and get a response 10 minutes later!! I was very nervous about the pandemic and what that would mean for us, but Katie reassured me that everything was taken care of (they have back-ups and use multiple sanitation/preventative measures).
I had my trial with Katie and it was my first time getting my makeup professionally done with airbrush and wearing fake eyelashes…let me tell you I looked in the mirror and I think I said “DAMN”!!!! I have never seen myself so dolled up. She also took really good notes & pics and made everything available in my portal.
Day of the wedding, I had 6 bridesmaids that needed to have BOTH their hair and makeup done. They arrived on time and even finished 20 minutes ahead of schedule! Which my photographer agreed that rarely happens for other weddings!! Unfortunately, 3 of my bridesmaids did not care for their looks which they ended up correcting themselves after they left and wanted their money back (which I already paid for a few weeks ago). Also, unfortunately, I did my first look with my husband prior to the ceremony and after kissing/hugging with my face against his beard…the airbrush foundation on my nose and half of my right face rubbed completely off! And the foundation we had was not blending in since it wasn’t the same consistency of the airbrush! This did NOT happen during my trial so I’m not sure what happened, and there isn’t anything anyone could have done… but my bridesmaid had to wipe off all of the foundation and apply the makeup she brought - no lie - 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle! So in the interest of being transparent, I wanted to note that, so that I could recommend anyone out there reading this to either not do a first look before the ceremony, or else be extremely careful with your face! Again, not really a reflection of Glamour beauty at all.
Overall I had a wonderful experience and am so thankful for Katie and everyone at Glamour Beauty!!

Hi Allie!
Thank you for the review! I feel so bad that 3 of your bridal party didn't care for their looks! I wish I would've known so we could have done changes//touch ups!
I am also so sorry that the airbrush rubbed off - your skin looked fa...
bulous and we used the same airbrush we used at your trial with the extra extender so this wouldn't happen! My sincere apologies! I am currently trying to also perfect my formulas with the mask mandates.
You definitely did say "DAMN!" And it will go down in as the best response ever! I hope you had a fabulous day and appreciate how sweet you are!
Glamour Beauty was amazing! It was a fantastic experience from booking, to the trial, to the wedding day. Katie did an amazing job and this was easily my favorite make up ever! It made me feel so beautiful and all of my bridesmaids looked so stunning as well! Would 100000% recommend them to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 11/27/2020
Thank youu so much Meghan! Your photos were stunning! It was a pleasure to work with you!
I hired Glamour for hair and makeup during a pandemic. It was very stressful but Glamour Beauty helped ease some of that stress. All of my vendors were great especially my hair and makeup team.
We had Katie (Audrey), Leeann, and Kiara for myself (bride), 7 bridesmaids & a mother of the bride! During my trial with Katie she was amazing- don’t be deterred by the small room in White Bear Lake, she let me change my hair 3 times and assured me that she was happy to find something that made me happy! She took lots of pictures so we could recreate they look easily on the big day. In the end I absolutely loved my hair and makeup trial. The day of the wedding (a Friday morning) 2 of the artists were 15-20 minutes late but there was a last minute snow and rush hour - in the end it didn’t matter, they were ahead of schedule despite 9 getting their hair done and 5 makeup. I’d say only one bridesmaid wasn’t thrilled with her hair in the end (curls fell out) but everyone else was very happy! As someone with extremely dry skin, my airbrush makeup ended really patchy on my nose at the end of the night but the mask didn’t help that either. Overall- ADORED Katie and we had a ton of fun/laughs with the artists! They were joking around with us and singing along to the music- helped me relax when I was a bundle of nerves! The cancellation policy was a stressful to be honest since once you sign up you’re locked in- but really happy in the end and felt beautiful thanks to Katie!

Thank you Ashley for the kind review! We hope you had a wonderful day and again apologize for arriving late!
Glamour beauty made my wedding day even more perfect! I had my trial with Katie and she did such an amazing job at that and worked with me to help set up a convenient time for that as well with my busy schedule which was greatly appreciated. Day of the wedding the artists showed up exactly on time and were all so accommodating especially when we had some bridesmaids not on time for their scheduled time slots. Katie did my hair and make up and Tommy and Macy were the other artists helping do the 7 bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom and they made my whole wedding party so happy and beautiful ! My makeup and hair were beyond what I ever imagined and held true the whole night, through pictures and dancing! I am so grateful to have found them and lucky to have their help on my wedding day! would recommend to anyone and thank you so much Glamour beauty for helping make my day so special! :)
I booked Katie for hair for our wedding and she did an amazing job!!!! She worked on mine, bridesmaids and mothers of bride/grooms hair and everyone said they loved their hair - we got so many compliments! I was assuming my hair would start to fall during the day but I swear it didn't move (but wasn't hard from hairspray or drenched in product). Katie was on top of her stuff and was so willing to work with me while things got changed up with the amount of girls constantly committing and then changing minds, to also being flexible when our wedding was postponed from May to October. She was so sweet and she was SO quick to respond and help whenever I emailed her! She was organized and the online portal was great to use and made my life a LOT easier. THANK YOU KATIE! <3
Glamour Beauty did a fabulous job for my wedding! My bridesmaids literally said this is the first time they've ever gotten their makeup done and did not feel like they needed to adjust or fix anything afterwards. Unfortunately one of our stylists was late, which made the bridesmaids hair styling pretty rushed at the end to stay in our timeline, but they still did a wonderful job.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2020
Thank you Kristi for your review! I apologize on the artist being late and will be looking into this! <3
I did not like Glamour Beauty's cancelation policy. I was disappointed with my hair trial, which took place about a month before my wedding. The trial started ten minutes late, the stylist did not ask me many questions about what I wanted, and I didn't like the resulting hair style (seemed messy with lots of fly aways). I felt worried that I wouldn't look good on my wedding day and that the stylist would disappoint my wedding party. After a phone call the same day as my trial with the owner that did not calm my worries, I decided to cancel my services with Glamour Beauty. Because of their contract, I still had to pay 50% of the cost of my services (you only get your money back in full if you cancel within 24 hours of booking). So, I ended up paying close to $500 for a hair trial I didn't like and services I didn't receive. I recommend looking for a company with a different cancelation policy.

Hello again,
As we have discussed before trials are done at the six week mark- this is so the stylist is up to date on all product used. New products are constantly coming out. Also, so you are more certain of the look you want and it's fresh ...
in both your mind as well as the artist. Again, if you had brought this up to Macy that you wanted your style adjusted she would have been more than happy to do that! Unfortunately this was never brought up to Macy. As I told you on the phone when you called, Macy was ten minutes late due to a scheduling mistake on my end which I apologized for. Macy did spend the time cleaning up and sanitizing for you - as during COVID I'm sure our clients appreciate. I am sorry that took an extra ten minutes. After your trial - you told Macy you had to leave as your fiance was waiting- this didn't leave any time for Macy to adjust your style either. But than again, she didn't know you were unsatisfied as you never stated so. I had told you Macy would be more than happy to do another trial with you which we scheduled and than you canceled. ;I also told you that at trials the stylists do use less product in case of changes or adjustments. But the day of Macy would be using all product to refine the style.
We do book over 100 plus weddings a year and the cancelation policy and contract is to not only protect us but you as the client as well. For your event we booked Macy and there fore she was unable to work any other wedding that day. This effects her income and also does not allow her to book any other client that day.
The contract also states that we can not cancel on you or double book a wedding- which I am sure most brides would appreciate.
The deposit portion was well under $500, so I'm not sure if that is us you are referring to.
I again apologize for upsetting you and that you were unhappy with the style you chose. I wish we could all read minds to know whether a client is happy or not but sadly we can't.
Leanne and Tommy were so wonderful on our Wedding Day. Leanne was so patient with me as I kept asking for slight adjustments at my trial and on my wedding day, down to every single last hair she was professional and accommodating. I would definitely recommend working with them for your day.
My wife hired Glamour Beauty for her hair and makeup for our wedding. Katie was fantastic to work with setting everything up to the day of. Sommer and Tommy showed up early and set up everything for my wife! She looked beautiful the day of and I thank Glamour Beauty for giving her an experience of pampering.
I hired Katie and her team for my wedding during COVID since we last minute decided to do a small ceremony. She was very helpful in setting up my trial so last minute. Me, my mom and sister loved both our hair and makeup. I plan on using her again for my reception. With Covid it has been hard on me and I couldn't have asked for a better vendor.
I hired Katie for my wedding and party. My trial with her was so fun! I even bought her skin care kits so I could take care of my skin leading up to the wedding. She and her team came the day of and gave all of us glam! Everyone felt so pretty especially after COVID.
Katie and her team were fantastic to work with during this uncertain time. They came on time wearing proper PPE and were overly sanitary through out our hair and makeup appointments. We all loved our hair and makeup. For brides wondering if your makeup is mask proof? It is!! Katie did airbrush on me and it stayed even with a mask!
Glamour Beauty did an amazing job with both my wedding day hair and make-up! They arrived on time and were able to do everything that me and all my girls wanted. Plus they are way more affordable than most other places I looked!

Thank you for the review!! We enjoyed working with you and your girls! :) Was there anything we could have done differently?
Audrey did my hair for my wedding. I really, really appreciated her abilities to adjust after my trial; I also appreciated the option for the trial. Audrey listened to my only concern (I have a lot of hair) and she adjusted and made my hair amazing. It was a really wonderful experience. She also handled my very picky sister and best friend to which I will be forever grateful to her. Her demeanor on my wedding day honestly calmed me down, it was really great to have her as a part of our day. She was really flexible with our itinerary as well - for example, up until two weeks before I was unsure where we were going to get ready and she said, "no problem" and adjusted to my plans. It was really great. Thanks so much Audrey. I highly recommend!

Thank you so much Alyssa it was a pleasure to work with you and your bridal party!!! :) Hope Fogo was amazing! <3
Glamour Beauty did everybody's hair and makeup. We all have different taste in styles and they were able to meet all of our needs for hair styles and makeup styles. Some of us had a few changes to hair or makeup and they were able to adjust and were very nice reassuring us that they wanted us to feel love our looks. I have had some stylists who acted like I was a burden when I wanted adjustments.
Don't hesitate to book Glamour Beauty.
Glamour Beauty is a fun group to work with on your wedding day. Hair and Makeup looked beautiful and still natural. None of us do our makeup on a daily basis if ever, so we wanted our makeup to look natural but we wanted the opinions of a professional. Audrey and Sommer gave great suggestions and we all felt beautiful. Our hair was simple and structure lasted all night.
I hired Audrey the owner, for my winter engagement photos. I am also using her and her team for my wedding in 2020. My makeup and hair looked beautiful in all our photos! I am very excited to work with her again!
We hired Glamour Beauty for our winter wedding! Hair and makeup turned out great! They were easy to book and provided excellent customer service! Audrey's response time was amazing. We loved our looks they created for us.
I hired Audrey (Katie) and her team to come and do my wedding 2 hours away. They arrived at 7:30am on the dot ready to rock out hair and makeup. I loved my makeup and hair- I opted out of doing the trial (out of state bride) and was nervous on how it would turn out. Audrey and I talked via phone and email and she reassured me it look beautiful. She even created a Pinterest board with similar looks she had done. Of course it turned out even better than I had hoped. I am very impressed with her customer service and attention to detail - she told me she does ALL the office by herself for over 100 + brides, I was so impressed with how she remembered small details and communicated with me instantly. She brought with her Leanne and Leanne was talented and friendly! Definitely hire Audrey!
Audrey traveled all the way to Red Wing to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also did hair for my 3 bridesmaids and my mom. She did a fab job! After my trial, there were a few things I wanted to change - she listened to it all and made me feel beautiful on the big day. She was very kind, professional and efficient with time, and on top of that, very affordable for the industry! Thanks Audrey!

Thank you so much Steph!! You looked absolutely stunning! It was so much to do hair for you and your ladies!!
Audrey, first you were amazing to work with and answered any questions I had. At the trial I loved it but had a few things to add and she came and glam’ed me so beyond perfect my hair and make up stay so beautiful the whole day and evening and danced the night way, slept and still looked great hair in place and all! ;) Kevin and kiarra my mother and bridesmaids looked so beautiful but most importantly they felt so beautiful and special so can’t thank you guys enough!! Would recommended. All them any one!!! On time professional, easy to talk to and ask question, give perfect insight on what would look good! Thank you!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2019
Aww <3 Thank you Jessica! You and your mom were so much fun to work with! I will make sure to pass this along to Kevin and Kiara as well!!
Katie, Kevin & Macy did our hair and makeup. Everything turned out beautiful. They brought chairs, lighting and huge bags full of hair and makeup supplies! We definitely had options for any look we wanted. The girls, MOB & MOG and myself raved on their hair and makeup turned out. We were done on time and were able to get some extra photos in.
They exceeded my expectations! I went to the trial and wasn’t super happy with my makeup and I told her what I didn’t like and she made it perfect for my wedding day!! My bridesmaids also loved the hairstyles that they came up with for them! We got a lot of compliments on our hair! Our beauty artists were so friendly and kept me calm the morning of my wedding too! 😊

Thank you Kirstin! We are so happy we could get your makeup perfect and your bridesmaids!! Best wishes!
Amazing group of makeup and hair stylists. I had Katie, Kevin and Sommer. They are a fantastic team and work very well together. They were fun to be around and provide superb services for all of us. This dream team will make your day perfect!
this team is AMAIZING!!!!!! One of my bridesmaids used them for her wedding and I was just loving the pictures with hair and makeup. Im so happy Katie and Kevin were available for my special day. Kevin did my Bridal party make and they all looked amaizing!!!! Katie did Bridal party hair, flower girl hair and my hair and makeup.
Before the special day i did the Custom spray tan. Was very happy and with having a strapless dreds it was nice to make sure tan lines were even.
For the wedding I did air brush and was very happy with the results!
It was just me and Katie for the trial and it was so much fun! I had 2 hair pieces and we were able to play around with both to determine what would look best on the wedding day.
I highly recommend Glamour Beauty for any occasion!!!!

Thank you so much Caitlin! It was such a pleasure to do you and your bridal party! Can't wait to see photos! <3 xoxo
Audrey the owner came the day of and completed our hair and makeup for myself and 2 other bridesmaids. She listened to our concerns and advised us in the best styles for hair and makeup that would look best on us. We all loved having her expertise for the morning to make us feel beautiful and wedding ready. I recommend her for your hair and makeup!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2019
Thank you so much for the kind words! We really appreciate it and loved being part of your day!!!
I hired the Glamour Team for our hair and makeup for my wedding. Audrey, Macy and Leanne were not only talented but so fun to have in the early morning.
Everyone loved their updos and makeup and lashes. It was fun for my bridesmaids to get a chance to get their makeup and hair done, many had not had it done before!
Book them for your wedding, you won't be disappointed.
Glamour Beauty was easy to book. Audrey answered all my emails and questions. The trial was relaxed and fun- it is a great idea to get a good idea of what to expect the day of. Leanne and Audrey came the day of and did all of us fast. We ended up being done earlier which is great! Our hair and makeup was perfect. I wouldn't go with any other vendor for hair and makeup.
I was the maid of honor in my best friends wedding. We all had the airbrush makeup with lashes. It literally is the best! It feels airy and yet covered any pimples I have showing. They are an honest group of ladies who are talented beyond belief. A lot of us haven't had our makeup done by a professional and after our experience with them we will be doing it every chance we get!

Thank you so much for your kind words!!
I used Glamour for our hair and makeup. They came bright and early at 5 am since I had a 10am wedding. They were very nice even at the early hour. The makeup and hair lasted all of us until late at night. Some of the girls even wore it the next day and it still looked beautiful! I wouldn't suggest going anywhere else!
Audrey was great, and I highly recommend her as your artist. I had two makeup trials with her (the first one didn't feel right, and Audrey offered a second trial for free) and she did my day of makeup. The makeup was beautiful and it felt like me, but I had warned her that I cry a lot and needed something that would stick. I understand there's no way makeup can take those kind of tears (seriously, I'm a weeper) but it didn't hold up long.
Other than that, Audrey was great. The issue I had with Glamour Beauty was because of the other makeup artist that came. She miscounted the number of girls who had already gotten their makeup done (she seemed unorganized) and loudly blamed me for not signing up the right amount of people. I had though, she had miscounted. When she realized this, she didn't apologize and seemed annoyed that she was there. She was unprofessional and made me and everyone in the bridal suite feel uncomfortable. It was awkward - I was afraid to ask her to touch up my makeup after Audrey left. I totally understand if she was having a bad day, but our vibes were not the right fit.
I completely recommend working with Audrey, though!

Hi Rachel,
I am so sorry to hear that your experience with the other makeup artist was not up to satisfactory. I will be speaking to her in regards to the situation. I do know there was some sort of mix up with the makeup applications and who w...
as getting partials vs full. I truly hope you had a beautiful day and appreciate your feedback as to prevent any issues going forward. I also do apologize for any behavior on my staff. Feel free to email me as well if need be. Thank you! Audrey
Leanne and Sommer were my artists for my wedding. Leanne did my trial and day of. She made me feel at ease and gave me the exact look I wanted. She went above and beyond the day of and even emailed me the following week to make sure everything lasted! Sommer was also nice and made sure to do a consult with each of the bridesmaids. She also walked them through each step she did and they learned a lot and looked fabulous!
Katie did my wedding hair and makeup. I wanted a full glam look and being asian I have never had a makeup Artist be able to do that. I did opt for the trial to make sure we were a good fit. I loved how everything turned out the day of. I felt beautiful and she was amazing to work with.
Audrey was my stylist for my wedding and I have never felt more beautiful! She listened to everything that I wanted done for my hair and makeup and executed it exactly how I wanted. When I made changes to my ideas, she rolled with them and was so much fun to work with. She fit right in with my girls while we got ready the morning of my wedding and helped to make the day even more exciting and fun. I am so glad that I booked Glamour Beauty for my special day!
Great group of girls came to the hotel Mariott in Minneapolis to provide hair and makeup for myself and bride tribe. We had Audrey, Macy and Leann. All three were accommodating and provided high end luxury services for us. We all raved about how great our hair and makeup looked. The booking process was easy too. Audrey has everything done electronically so it makes it easy for us brides who are already so busy.
Katie was a very good artist. She was fast, professional and sweet. We finished early and it was nice to have a laid back morning and not rushed. Everyone loved their hair. The styles looked like the photos and stayed throughout the heat and sweat. Thank you!
Glamour Beauty was recommended to me after my original vendor was unavailable. They came to my venue huge plus! I did do a trial with them and decided I wanted to do another trial because I wanted a completely new look. They were able to get me in with no trouble and work with my schedule. I was disappointed my original vendor wasn't available but Glamour Beauty out did themselves to make sure I was 100% happy. I am thankful I was recommended to see them.
We used Audrey with Glamour Beauty for our wedding on June 1st 2019. Audrey was personable and came highly recommended from a friend. She did not disappoint. Our hair lasted until the end of the night, even though we had it down. The only thing I wish I had done differently was chosen the airbrush makeup instead of the traditional. Not their fault but my own. My made of honor used the airbrush and it was gorgeous and lasted until the next day. The traditional makeup lasted as well but I liked the look of the airbrush better.

Thank you so much and we wish you the best!
We hired Glamour Beauty for hair and makeup for our wedding. I had Yvonne for my trial and day of. Yvonne is friendly and always smiling! She made me and my bridal party feel happy and excited being around her! Our hair and makeup turned out wonderful! Ask for Yvonne!
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2019
Aww we will be sure to pass this on to Yvonne! She's a rockstar!
Hired them for hair and makeup for my wedding for myself and bridal party. I would use them again. Easy process and good work.
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2019
OMG! Thank you for your kind words! <3
It was really great for Katie and her team to travel right to the church and handle hair and makeup for a very large group! Some of my squad, though, were underwhelmed with their final products, as they didn't match the images shown. Overall pretty good experience.

Hi Sheila,
Thank you for your review and we enjoyed doing your wedding with your bridal party! We apologize for any bridesmaids that were not satisfied with their hair and/or makeup and wished we could have known the day of- so we could've fixe...
d any issues! We appreciate the feedback to prevent that from happening again! Best wishes xoxo
I was an out of state bride and was definitely stressed about planning a wedding from New York. Glamour Beauty made the process easy and stress - free. They send out reminder emails weekly and accept separate invoicing to each bridal party. Nice since I could not collect payment from them being far away.
I opted out of the trial due to me not being in Minnesota until the week of my wedding. Audrey and Leanne did perfect even without the trial. I was nervous but Audrey and Leanne eased my nerves. My makeup and hair was BEAUTIFUL. They got my vision even without meeting me prior. My bride tribe also got the looks they envisioned.
I would recommend them and recommend doing a trial if you live in the state.
