Glimmer in Kitty Hawk was the perfect place to get ready for our wedding day! The salon itself was absolutely adorable and had the perfect lighting for taking all of our getting-re...
ady photos. The entire team was also incredibly easy to work with, which I especially appreciated as someone planning a wedding from out of state.
Grace did my hair, as well as most of my bridesmaids’ hair, and she did a phenomenal job! She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and was incredibly meticulous about making sure everything was just right. I really appreciated how she asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood my vision before getting started. My hair looked absolutely beautiful and stayed in place the entire night—which is truly impressive considering how much dancing I did!
Catie did our makeup, and it was absolutely PERFECT! She listened to what each of us wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and went above and beyond to help us achieve our dream looks. I genuinely wish I could look like that every day! Everyone was so complimentary of how beautiful our makeup looked while still allowing us to look like ourselves. Catie did an amazing job making us feel glamorous without making us look overly made up or unnatural.
Both Grace and Catie were incredibly talented, professional, and wonderful to work with. They helped make getting ready on our wedding day such a fun and memorable part of the experience. I would highly recommend Glimmer to any bride or bridal party getting married in the Outer Banks!
Payton from Glimmer did my bridal hair, as well as hair for one of my bridesmaids and both of our moms, and she was fantastic! She was friendly, helpful, and so easy to work with t...
hroughout the entire process.
She gave me the beautiful beach waves I had envisioned for my Outer Banks wedding day, and they turned out perfectly. She even helped with my husband’s man bun, and he said he had never looked so good in his life!
Everyone was thrilled with how their hair turned out, and Payton’s work helped us all feel confident and beautiful on such a special day. I would absolutely recommend her!
The team at glimmer are so kind and professional and I cannot recommend them enough! I felt like a goddess on our wedding day thanks to them
Loved working with Glimmer for my wedding day! Amanda and Lauren were the absolute best! All of our makeup and hair turned out amazing!
Michael and Heidi were amazing. I felt so beautiful on my big day. My bridesmaids and the moms all felt stunning.
Loveeee these girls a lot! Everyone was so easy to work with & they made me feel very comfortable for someone who doesn’t wear makeup a ton.

Because we planned a destination wedding, some of the steps like having a hair and makeup trial, simply weren't reasonable to accomplish. I had a few friends warn me that not havin...
g a trial was a big mistake. It certainly was not in my case! We had a great makeup artist and a very experienced hairstylist from Glimmer Hair and Makeup. They did a great job, both of them. I had two bridesmaids so there were three of us total. Each of our hairstyles was suited to our taste and what would look best on each of us. The stylist clearly had much experience with styling hair and hearing what the client wanted. Our makeup was beautiful and each of us truly did look our best. I felt my absolute best as I enjoyed a fairytale day!
Wowwwwwwww! Molly and her team were fantastic! 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and 1 bride. Full hair and makeup- PERFECTLY done in 4 hours. They kept the atmosphere fun and laid back. Th...
ey listened to each persons style and delivered hair and makeups that was absolutely beautiful and exceeded expectations. The entire wedding party felt like queens. GLIMMER is the answer to your bridal party’s needs for your special day!

to a bedroom as we all bounced back and forth between hair and makeup. You seriously cannot go wrong with Glimmer but I highly recommend Michael and Caitie for makeup and Amanda for hair!!! They are seasoned pros and know how to make every bridal party feel so beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful! These gorgeous and talented gals came to us in our beach rental house on the day of our wedding. They were communicative, punctual, top-notch hair and makeup ...

my dream hair & makeup goals come true! Those two ladies were hilarious and kept my bridal party laughing throughout the day. I also was thrilled with speaking to Jenna as she was very response with any questions I had via email.
Thank you all SO MUCH and I would love to work with you all again in the future!

I got married last Friday 9/23/22 and had Amanda and Katie come to our venue to do our makeup. My whole wedding party and both moms loved them and they absolutely loved their hair ...
and makeup! We did not have complaint or anything that needed to be changed! I also loved my hair and makeup! We had so much fun hanging out with them! Thank you for making us all feel so beautiful on my big day!
The women from Glimmer Hair and Makeup worked with us for my wedding this summer. They were excellent! There was a tropical storm headed our way and we were not sure if the Pier ce...
remony that was planned would be able to happen. They assured us that they would make sure we are prepared for whatever was to come. I planned to have my hair down and have extensions, but Brittany suggested that I put it up in order to combat the probable wind that we would be experiencing during the ceremony. I love what they did with my hair in the end! The makeup artist, Caitie, was aware that I prefer a natural look. She made sure that my makeup was seen in pictures but not overwhelming. My entire wedding party was very happy with their hair and makeup as well, and the ladies worked quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Glimmer Hair and Makeup for your weddings or other events!
Glimmer did an AMAZING job on my wedding day. They absolutely nailed my hair and makeup. Not only that, but all 15 of the women in my getting ready crew (mom, sister, MIL, sister-i...
n-law, niece, cousin, friends) were SO happy with their hair and makeup as well. The Glimmer team wad friendly, professional, and so lovely. Highly recommend!
I found Glimmer in July of 2020 through my wedding coordinator while searching for hair and makeup for my May 2021 wedding in Duck, NC. Their impressive portfolio on social media a...
nd their website sold me, and conversations with other vendors approving of their work sealed the deal! We had Lauren do my makeup and my mom’s makeup, and Livy did 3 bridesmaid’s hair. I did a trial when I was visiting the Outer Banks in August 2020. My wedding was not for another 10 months, but Lauren was super accommodating, professional, and friendly. Before my wedding, I changed the style/look that I wanted, and Lauren CRUSHED it day of! I had to put a lot of trust in her since we didn’t get a second trial and the first trial was 10 months earlier, but she did an amazing job of understanding what I wanted. My makeup lasted all day, night, and I even slept in it and it looked great in the morning lol. It lasted through MANY tears as well! My mom also loved her makeup. Livy listened to what all three of my bridesmaid’s wanted and pulled them off impeccably. Lauren and Livy traveled to our venue and made the getting ready process easy and fun. Thank you Glimmer team- you rock!
I used glimmer for myself and my bridal parties hair + makeup! We had Kat who did our make up mollie who did our hair. They both did a wonderful job and are very kind and friendly....
Kat is very knowledgable about makeup and has an airbrush machine which was a win for myself and my mom who wanted it. She took the time to teach us about he makeup she was using when we loved it and is just easy going and fun to talk to! We all looked beautiful. Mollie is also a sweetheart and made all of our visions come to life. I allowed my bridal party to pick their hairstyle so she did something a little different on everyone and was able to mesh their Inso into the perfect style. I also love that we were able to have them come to our location since we rented a beach house. I definitely recommend!
Mollie and Livy did an amazing job on our hair and makeup for my wedding day. They were so fun and laidback to work with. They made sure that me and my bridesmaids loved our looks ...
and felt confident! I honestly felt so beautiful and couldn't have been happier with my choice in choosing Glimmer for my wedding day!
My fiancé and I got engaged in January of 2019 and had been planning our October 2020 wedding for over a year when COVID 19 hit. We decided in June, with 127 days to go until our w...
edding date, to change our plans entirely to best accommodate the safety of our guests. Needless to say, I was a bit overwhelmed. You really have to trust in reviews when planning a wedding from 270 miles away with no time to allow for trials, but you can absolutely trust in these reviews! I hardly ever wear makeup and I was super nervous about trying airbrush for the very first time on my actual wedding day, but Stephanie made me look and feel absolutely perfect. We had two makeup artists come to our rental house to do makeup on 12 women and the whole process went perfectly. It was like they were able to read our minds and make all of us look exactly the way that we envisioned. I have endless good things to day about Glimmer, hire them, you won’t be disappointed.
Not only did mollie and Lauren do an amazing job on the hair and make up, they were a blast to have at the house while getting ready. We all enjoyed conversing with them and were s...
o happy with the finished products. This was a last minute wedding that got moved to obx because of Covid, even with short notice, no time for a trial, and a large group, Mollie made me feel more beautiful than ever before. She is extremely attentive in replying to emails and texts and calls and she does an amazing job! Look no further, you will not regret hiring this vendor.
Mollie did a fantastic job for my wedding. I did two hair trials with her, and for the wedding day, she did my hair, 5 bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law's hair too. Everyon...
e was really happy with their hair, which says a lot! She was punctual, responsive and a lot of fun to have around the day of the wedding! The salon is absolutely beautiful, although we did have Mollie come to our airbnb due to logistics. I'm super happy we went with Glimmer!
The Glimmer girls were absolutely perfect! They were so kind and flexible, and absolutely EVERYONE was pleased with how their hair and make up turned out! I cannot recommend Glimme...
r enough!!!
Lisa Barcus was amazing and made my bridal party feel beautiful in their own skin. Being from so far away, it was impossible for us to come in for a trial. I love the "natural look...
" and was hoping that she could help me with that. It was everything I could have asked for and more. I got my hair and makeup done, my mother got her hair, and my maid of honor got her hair done. We enjoyed an alcoholic beverage, chatted about the future and enjoyed each others company.
Livy did up dos/hair for the bridesmaids, myself, and the 2 moms (mom of bride and mom of groom). She did a phenomenal job- we all looked amazing and our hair held up even with the...
crazy wind by the ocean. Kim did our makeup and everyone looked gorgeous!! I felt so beautiful, she did such an amazing job on my makeup. Livy and Kim worked so well together and everything turned out amazing. These women are so talented at what they do. Thank you Livy, Kim and Glimmer!
So happy with our hair and makeup for my wedding! The did 5 of us and everyone looked amazing. I booked Glimmer based on reviews I saw online and was not disappointed. I can’t wait...
to see the photos.
I liked my hair, but I was the only one. I guess I had an image in mind of mimosa’s and my family and bridal party having a good time while getting pampered. There was only one hai...
r dresser, the makeup artist was late. My bridesmaid and cousin actually took her make up off and redid it herself. My mother and mother in-law both redid their hair. The only reason I gave two stars is because no one said anything, except when my cousin had to ask the woman who did the makeup to blend it so there wasn’t a line. Not worth the exorbitant amount of money spent.
Lisa from Glimmer was amazing! I have fine hair, and she was able to make it look like I had serious volume with a low up-do. Better yet, we got married in a Nor'easter with winds ...
up to 30 mph during our photos - hair barely moved! Makeup stayed in place all night as well, even the false lashes. I would 100% recommend Glimmer, sweetest staff and very easy to work with.
There was no one else I would want for my hair and make up for my big day! I coordinated my wedding date around Molly's availability. Amanda and her were wonderful! we were perfect...

Stephanie hooked us UP- my maid of honor and I got our hair and makeup done for my wedding 8-4-18, and she did AMAZING. My wedding and reception were outside and it was 85 degrees ...
and humid- and after four hours of dancing my hair and make up were still on point! She was also really fun to hang with before the wedding, which is great when your nerves are out of control.
Mollie and the girls at Glimmer were OUTSTANDING! They came to our rental house (also our wedding venue) the day of the wedding to do all the bridesmaids and both moms hair and mak...
eup. I can't say enough how much of a treat this was to not have to pile in a car the morning of the wedding, but instead to be able to sit around in my robe and have them come to us! They were very accommodating and professional, and so so sweet! The airbrush makeup and lashes were a splurge, but totally worth it! My makeup still looked flawless at midnight. My floral hair piece arrived from the florist a little differently than we were expecting, by Mollie didn't miss a beat - she stayed calm and made some adjustments to it so it would be exactly what I had envisioned! Mollie and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to make you and your bridal party feel and look like royalty on your big day!
Mollie and Stephanie traveled to our location to do my hair and makeup - they are awesome! They are both super friendly, personable, and very talented. Both my sister and I absolut...
ely loved our hair and makeup- it looked amazing. They arrived on time and were finished within an hour or so for me and my sister. As a side note, I reached out to 4 different beauty vendors in OBX on the same day and Mollie was the very first to respond (the next day) and assist me. Of the others, 2 responded about a week later and the 4th didn't respond for almost a week and a half. My decision was made from the beginning and it was an excellent choice. Highly recommend Glimmer!
Wow! We used GLIMMER for our son's and daughter's weddings and they are fantastic! They are so nice and very open to listening to your needs. Our hair and makeup couldn't have be...
en any prettier. Love them!!
I can not say enough good things about Glimmer, the staff, & Mollie! They are all INCREDIBLE! Always responded promptly, kept in contact, answered questions, etc. I met Mollie, in ...
person for the first time, at my hair and makeup trial, she made me look beautiful! We discussed the things we would do on the wedding day, discussed other wedding plans, and had many other wonderful conversations. Well, I did things a little different and had a ceremony in OBX on May 26th and the following weekend, June 2nd, I had a reception, back home, in Ohio. Mollie offered to come all the way to Ohio for me and she did. She did my grandma, step-mom, and mom's hair on both days as well as my hair and makeup! She is the SWEETEST person ever! She made me look STUNNING and everyone else too! Honestly, one of my FAVORITE people to work with! You can not go wrong with Glimmer, I promise! THANK YOU SO MUCH GLIMMER & MOLLIE! :)
I scheduled hair and makeup for me and my mom on my wedding day at our rental house. Lisa showed up on time, and did an amazing job. I opted for the airbrush makeup and I'm reall...
y glad I did, my makeup stayed put all day and night despite it being hot! I don't wear much makeup, and Lisa was able to still make me look natural. My hair was also amazing and stayed put until the next day. I would definitely recommend Glimmer!
Everything about Glimmer Hair and Makeup was top notch. Communication with them prior to the wedding was great. They responded quickly and answered all of my questions. Mollie was ...
extremely friendly throughout the entire process and was so amazing on wedding day. She was fun and easy to work with. All of my girls loved their hairstyles!!! I would 100% recommend!!!
I had a great experience working with Glimmer Hair & Makeup for my big day! Through emails, I communicated with Mollie to set up the hair appointments for my wedding party, my mom,...
a family friend, and myself for my big day. Mollie responded quickly and was very helpful since I had plenty of questions. On the day of the wedding, we had Lisa and Livy as our hairstylists, who were both very friendly and knowledgeable! All the ladies had different pictures of what they wanted to do with their hair and Lisa and Livy offered their expert opinions and made those hairstyles come to life. Everyone looked beautiful and the hairstyles lasted through the ceremony and all the dancing at the reception too! Lisa completed my hairstyle and makeup for the wedding and I loved it! I couldn’t have asked for two nicer and talented hairstylists to be a part of my wedding day team!
There are honestly not enough stars to rate the Glimmer Hair & Makeup crew. For starters I literally messaged them 2 weeks before my wedding day with a hope and a prayer that they...
had someone available to do my makeup. They worked their magic & I had Lisa come to the house my ceremony and reception was being held at and she was absolutely amazing! It honestly felt like one of my best friends was doing my makeup our conversation just flowed so easily and by the end of my session I felt like I've known her for years! She applied my airbrush makeup and I got so many compliments on it all day & night. I loved it so much it was honestly bitter sweet having to take it off. I couldn't recommend Lisa enough she was awesome; you are definitely in wonderful hands if you have her. The price of the makeup and the travel fee was worth every penny!
Glimmer was amazing to work with. I live in Columbus, Ohio, and got married in the OBX. Glimmer was easy to communicate with, and was the best bang for my budget. The stylist came ...
out to the wedding site for our hair and makeup. She was on time, had all of her own supplies, and was so personable!! She made me look more beautiful than I ever imagined. Her name was Lisa, and I highly recommend her!!!
Glimmer was the best fit for my budget and my style. Plus, they came to me on the wedding day rather than shipping my whole party to a salon. Not only did my hair and makeup look f...
lawless, Lisa and her crew nailed the mothers and the bridesmaids. Everyone looked beautiful, but still like themselves. I did a trial with Glimmer first which I highly recommend to refine your look. Lisa was my stylist and she was very open to hearing feedback and adjusting things until I was happy. She also is very fun to work with and we had a blast while we got ready.
My husband and I got married two weekends ago in the OBX and used Glimmer Hair & Makeup for the special event. Our stylist/artist, Stephanie, was absolutely AMAZING! Our wedding wa...
s an early morning event, and she arrived at our beach home at 5:30am ready to go! She was able to do my hair exactly as I had envisioned and made it so that it stayed in place throughout my entire wedding (even after climbing dunes in the wind, it still looked perfect!). My sister (maid of honor) has extremely unruly, thick hair and she was able to make her look like a princess! At the last minute, my bridesmaids decided that they wanted to do some makeup and she was able to accommodate this, as well. This girl is truly an exceptional artist and worth every single penny! I would highly recommend Glimmer Hair & Makeup for your next event! :)
Glimmer Hair & Makeup is truely the BEST!!! They came out to do my bridal hair and make up for me and my bridal party despite the threat of Hurricane Matthew!!! Everyone was so hap...
py, calming, and accomodating on the morning of my wedding. Lisa did my hair and makeup, I could not have asked for it to come out better, I felt more beautiful than I thought possible. I had bought extensions to use and was a little nervous about how they would look, and they by far exceeded my expectations. All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning, I could not have asked for a better glam team!!
Our hair and makeup survived a soaking wet wedding ceremony in the rain on the beach AND an after party dip in the pool! Our false lashes even stayed put! Mollie and her team did a...
n AMAZING job to make sure our hair stayed in place and our makeup wasn't going anywhere! We all looked and felt beautiful thanks to Mollie and her team!
Glimmer was great! My hair and makeup stylist was friendly, knowledgable, and made me look absolutely beautiful! I would definitely recommend Glimmer for your wedding!!
Mollie and her team were unbelievable. Mollie always responded quickly with any questions I had from the beginning. I knew I had made a good choice when I came in for my trial. ...
She was able to capture the look I wanted and I never stressed for a moment about anyone in my wedding party not looking perfect! She and her team were so much fun to be around and helped calm everyone's nerves. My hair and makeup was flawless as well as all of my bridesmaids. I can't thank them enough for the amazing services they provided!
The ladies from Glimmer provided hair and makeup services for my wedding in the Outer Banks. Mollie was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Stylists came to our r...
ental house and were punctual, efficient and personable. We were all ready with time to spare, taking out the stress of worrying about timing. Everyone's hair and makeup was stunning and we all received many compliments throughout the night on our looks.

I booked Glimmer Hair and Makeup for my bridal hair and makeup, as well as my bridal party's. I didn't have a specific idea of how I wanted to look, but I ...
loved the style of all the brides I saw on Glimmer's webpage, so I knew I could trust my bridal look in their hands! When my hair and makeup were done and I looked in the mirror, I could not believe how beautiful they made me!!! I've never felt prettier in my life, and cannot possibly express my appreciation for the work they did! My bridal party looked stunning as well! Not only did the girls do amazing work, they were also super friendly, social, and great to spend the getting-ready time with! I highly recommend Glimmer Hair & Makeup - you will not regret it!!!
One word, Bridgette!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with getting dolled up for my big day. Bridgette was amazing!! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeu...
p. I had gone for a trial prior to my wedding day and she was patient and knowledgeable. For someone that doesn't wear makeup often, she suggested a lighter foundation so it didn't feel cakey. It held up beautifully when my sunny beach wedding turned into a monsoon. She expertly applied my clip in extensions and my hair looked just as perfect at the end of the night as when I left the salon. She expertly handled all of my bridesmaids and did it with a smile! I would definitely recommend Glimmer Weddings (and request Bridgette!!)
I used Glimmer! Mollie was fantastic and did exactly what I had visioned, but somehow it was so much prettier and perfect than what I had visioned. Mollie and her team styled my br...
idesmaids (6) and mothers hair. We weren't pushed for time, it was relaxing and stress-free. Everything looked amazing. I was so pleased with the outcomes. My hair was a side curled some up some down. It was stunning. My hair doesn't hold curl AT ALL and it held up the entire day/night and even into the next day. It was also SUPER windy the day of my wedding, so that says something!
Glimmer (Mollie) also did my hair and makeup for my maternity photoshoot a year later.
"You can learn how to style hair and do updo's, but the passion for it is something raw and pure talent, Glimmer has just that!"
