Working with Grace and her team was wonderful. After another artist I had hired stopped responding, I got in touch with Grace a week before my wedding. I told her my situation and she was eager to help me out despite having planned to take the weekend off. She put together a great team who made myself, my mom and mother in law, and all my bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful on our wedding day. They got everyone done perfectly on time and our makeup still looked flawless by the end of the night. I would recommend Grace to any bride who wants to look and feel great on her wedding day!
We had such an awesome experience with Grace and team for my first daughter’s wedding that we scheduled her again for my other daughter’s wedding. Both brides, bridal parties, MOB, and MOGs remained radiant throughout the day. No hair or makeup touch up required. As the MOB I was impressed by Grace’s professionalism, punctuality and great personality. Our experience with Grace and team set the tone for the entire day - FUN and stress free.
Grace was exactly what I needed for our wedding! From our first conversation (on the phone), I knew she'd be such a kind, helpful, and artistic stylist. After my hair and make up trial, there was no question I wanted to continue working with her. She is so inclusive, caring, and funny person; I really enjoyed spending time with her! Our photos from our wedding have come back looking fantastic, and attribute that largely to her skill and talent (though she'll say she was given a great canvas to work with!). I would definitely recommend utilizing her services if you're looking for something special!
Grace was the most amazing hair dresser I could have had! She did
Grace and her team were wonderful and made my daughter's day stress free. All the ladies felt beautiful with hair and makeup perfectly matching their individual personalities and beauty. Do your wedding day with Grace!
Grace and her team are amazing! I knew from the moment she did my hair as a bridesmaid for a friend’s wedding that I had to have her for mine. She is inventive, treats each person with the care needed to address different hair types and desires, and is such a pleasant person to be with and share important memories with.
Absolutely amazing!
Grace was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and very professional. My bridesmaids and I all looked amazing on the day of my wedding. I would highly recommend her!
Grace is amazing! All my bridesmaids looked so flawless and beautiful, and the hair and makeup lasted through the night. She and her team also stayed on schedule, which made for a fun, stress-free day. My mom can be a little picky when getting her makeup done, but Grace's team was very patient and listened to all her requests to make sure she was happy. Grace's experience and sweet nature were evident - she didn't leave until everyone got the last minute touchups they needed. I never felt so beautiful and confident as I did on my wedding day. Big thanks to Grace! I would recommend her to any bride.
I would highly recommend Grace for your wedding hair and makeup. Hair and makeup for myself and the wedding party. Everyone looked so beautiful for that very special day. So many compliments from friends and family. Thanks to her I look fantastic in my wedding pictures. Grace is also very sweet, reliable and accommodating.
Thank you for being a huge part of my special day!!!
Grace and her crew are amazing!! They did mine and my bridal party's wedding hair/makeup and we all looked fabulous. Grace is super sweet and accommodating and does a GREAT job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a hair/make-up professional :) Thanks Grace!
After hours of researching hair and make up vendors, I decided to work with Grace Armas and her team. I was thrilled with my decision! Grace understood my vision and executed my look flawlessly in my trial and on my wedding day! She is so easy to work with and offers a great pricing structure. Grace and her team showed up around 5 am to make sure all of my girls were taken care of. Her team was just as amazing as she was. I would recommend Grace to anyone. In fact, my sister liked her hair and make up so much that she used Grace for her own wedding last month!
I found Grace through a friend who got married a little before I did. She looked beautiful and my day was fast approaching so I had to find someone quick. My makeup was beautiful and mostly lasted throughout the night. The hair was a different story. At the trial run, she warned me that my updo would probably not hold up very long because she did not have the right size bobby pins for how thick my hair was. But she assured me that for the real deal she would have the larger bobby pins. She was right. I went to dinner with my maid of honor right after the trial run and the hair did not make it through dinner. No biggie, she had warned me, but I let her know anyways and she insisted that would not be an issue the day of and that her hair never moves on wedding day. Come wedding day, she did bring the bigger bobby pins and the hair looked great. By the time I got to my wedding venue I already had a few loose strands! My bridesmaids managed to place a couple extra bobby pins to secure the loose bits and that at least got me through my pictures and the ceremony. The entire updo came undone at the beginning of the reception (before the dancing and party even began). The whole thing came undone except the ponytail underneath. One of my friends managed to use the pack of emergency bobby pins we had on hand (small ones btw) to create a makeshift updo which Did last me for the rest of the night. What I paid Grace was no small change. Between the trial run for hair and makeup plus the day of, and my mothers hair and makeup for the day of, I spent almost $600. This does not include what she got from some of my bridesmaids' hair and makeup. For this large investment I expected MUCH more and was very disappointment with the outcome. I don't mind paying a little extra for great quality, but in this case it did not pay off. I don't know if it was because she was rushed that she had another event after me (which is a whole other story altogether), or if she was not capable of doing a hairdo for my type of hair (in which case I would have appreciated knowing at the time of the trial) but this ended up being one of the expenses I ended up regretting most on my wedding day. Either way, it's done and I felt beautiful on my day regardless, but if I could go back I would have gone a different route with hair and found something that would last more than an hour.
Grace was AMAZING! She made me so beautiful on the day of my wedding. I couldn't have asked for more gorgeous hair and makeup! I cried all day and my makeup was intact! Everyone was amazed! Grace is super nice, fun and accommodating. The kind a person you want around you the day of your wedding. We had a fun time getting me glammed up, which to me was very important to me. Everything that day should be fun, beautiful and stress free, and that's what Grace delivered when doing my hair and makeup. I looked stunning thanks to Grace! So grateful I found her!
Grace and her team (Susanna and Arielle) were amazing and so sweet! All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup and looked absolutely stunning! Grace did my hair and makeup and I couldn’t be happier! I loved the airbrush foundation she used on me. It lasted through many happy tears and a night full of dancing! My hair also lasted through the entire night. I highly recommend Grace Armas for hair and makeup!! Thank you so much Grace!
Grace is amazing!! My makeup turned out better than I could have ever expected! She makes you feel comfortable and made my wedding day extra special! I would 100% recommend Grace!
I chose Grace 100% based on reviews on the Knot. I was an out of state bride and really took a leap of faith entrusting my look to Grace. I spoke with her briefly prior to my hair and makeup trial, and I knew I made the right choice. Grace is meticulous in her craft. I showed her 1 or 2 pictures of the look I had in mind, and she flawlessly delivered. Not to mention, she is such a joy to speak with. My mom and I both went for trials together, and we had such a wonderful time just hanging out with Grace. It felt like we had known her for years! The day of the wedding could not have gone more smoothly. Grace brought 2 wonderful ladies with her to make sure everyone in my wedding party looked flawless. We all had such a wonderful time. It was the BEST way to start my wedding day.
So, if you're feeling like I was when searching for a hair and makeup guru (slightly overwhelmed and nervous), look no further. You're in the best possible hands with Grace!
I was lucky enough to have Grace as a bridesmaid and loved it so much that she and her team is all I wanted for my special day. Grace and her team were hands down the greatest to work with. I highly recommend her! She is very easy to work with and finds time for the brides schedule. Her team did an amazing job on all bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and mother of the grrom. Grace's work brought me to tears when I saw myself for the first time.- it was everything I wanted and more. Also, my hair and makeup stayed in place ALL Night!! Use Grace - easy decision during the planning process!
Grace was so easy to work with and very flexible! She really listened to what I wanted and my hair and makeup both were perfect the day of my wedding! Couldn't ask for better!
Grace did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup! She is very talented and so easy to work with. I definitely would recommend her.
Amazing! Grace did my hair and make up for my wedding and I couldn't have been more pleased! I looked beautiful and I owe that to Grace! She is so upbeat and made me feel as though I was just hanging out with a close friend on the day of my wedding. Her associate hair and make up artists were also incredible talented and my bridesmaids looked stunning. I recommend Grace Armas for anyone wanting to look their absolute best on their wedding day!
Grace is awesome at what she does. Very professional and dependable! Listened to the "look" I wanted on my wedding day and was able to meet my expectations, as well as all the bridal party expectations. Everyone loved their hair and make-up!!
Grace Armas did an amazing job the day of the wedding. She provided a timeline and some wedding day hints to the girls prior to the big day. Grace and her assistant worked through the schedule flawlessly and were so pleasant to be around. Absolutely no stress. The girls and the especially the bride were beautiful. Hair and makeup were perfect!
Grace is amazing! She is so easy to work with and she gave us many creative suggestions for hair and makeup. The bridesmaids and the bride all looked beautiful! You know that a hairdresser is gifted when she creatively styles 8 different girls with very different hair types and textures.
Grace's presence is calm and she creates a relaxing space in the middle of what could be a chaotic time as the wedding party is preparing for the big event.
I would highly recommend Grace if you are looking for someone to perfect your wedding day hair and makeup!
Grace and her team were fantastic!!! We had such a fun morning with them and all of my bridesmaids turned out absolutely beautiful. I am obsessed with how my hair and make up turned out. Especially now that I have gotten some photos back and see how well we all photographed! I wouldn't change a thing and I would definitely refer her to everybody I know.
Grace did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup as well as the makeup of all of my bridesmaids. She brought in an assistant to do my bridesmaids' hair which all of them looked beautiful. Would definitely recommend her to any bride.
I cannot say enough great things about Grace! I had a wonderful consultation and trial with her and had no hesitation about booking her. But when the day came I was sure she was the right one! She did such an amazing job with the makeup for all my bridesmaids and my makeup and hair. She brought in an associate to do my girls' hair and she was amazing as well, everyone looked beautiful! My hair was absolutely perfect, she somehow managed to interpret my terrible description of what I wanted to create exactly what I wanted! In addition, she and her associate were quick about everything, we finished 4 bridesmaids, 1 mother of the bride, and myself with plenty of time to get to the venue. I was so impressed with the job they did and their professionalism. I would recommend using Grace without hesitation!
Had such a great experience with Grace Armas Hair & Makeup Design. I highly recommend if you want to be confident and comfortable on your big day!
I am more than satisfied with Grace's services for my special day! My mother and I received both our hair and make-up while most of my bridesmaids had their hair done. My mother and I did the airbrush make-up option, and I was amazed at how long it lasted. I even had cake shoved in my face, and my make-up stayed flawless! Grace and her assistant worked with each of my bridesmaids to create the look they wanted, and each walked away beautiful and happy. Grace was great in working with me on exactly what I wanted make-up and hair wise for my big day, and I can honestly say it was exactly what I imagined. My hair and make-up lasted the entire day and well through all my dancing that night! I would definitely recommend Grace to anyone!
Cannot recommend enough! Grace and Chantel did hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and mother in law. They're able to be flexible to the wishes of each individual person and everyone was really happy with how everything came out. Bonus- these ladies are fun to hang out with while getting ready. :)
Grace was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My makeup and hair were gorgeous and exactly what I had imagined. Grace really listened to what was important to me and was very flexible and patient. I could tell that she really cares about her brides. She was also very professional and so much fun to work with. My bridesmaids and I knew exactly what to expect the day of the wedding and her services and schedule went flawlessly. Grace truly delivered outstanding services and went above and beyond. I looked exactly the way I had always hoped I would for my wedding. Grace does phenomenal work and I would highly recommend her! Grace, I cannot thank you enough for making me look so amazing on my wedding day!
Grace and her team did hair and make up for myself, 6 bridesmaids, my mom, MIL, and grandmother for my wedding in May 2016. She and her entire team were courteous, professional, and seriously talented! They kept us right on our timeline the entire morning and made sure we all felt and looked like movie stars! I would suggest her to any Bride. She truly makes you feel like a model! Thank you Grace!!!
Grace is super talented! She did hair and makeup for me and 4 more ladies on my wedding day, we looked and felt so beautiful!
She was a pleasure to work with, very responsive by email and the day of everything went by the schedule.
I highly recommend Grace!
Grace and her team are absolutely wonderful! With 10 bridesmaids, I was nervous about finding someone who could do hair and make-up on site and for so many, but thankfully I found Grace! She was so easy to talk to, and had answers to all of my hair and make-up questions. Her and two others (shout out to Emily and Ashley- they are also amazing!) came to my bridal suite and completed hair and make-up for everyone under 3 hours! My up do was BEAUTIFUL and stayed in place all night long. I highly, highly recommend Grace for all of your wedding hair and make-up needs! All of my bridesmaids were stunning, and we got so many compliments! On top of that, she is a genuine, down to earth (and talented!) woman who I really enjoyed getting to know throughout the process. Every bride deserves a stress-free, enjoyable, and pampering experience on her wedding day. and that is exactly what Grace Armas delivers!
I originally discovered Grace through these Knot reviews and I am so happy I trusted them! Grace and her team did a fantastic job! My bridesmaids and I were very pleased with our hair and make-up. My hair stayed in place all evening - even with all of the wind and dancing! My make-up never smudged and my eyelashes never budged. I would definitely recommend Grace!
We had 5 bridesmaids, myself, my mother in law and mom in our party. Grace's team came to our house and completed everyone in 3.5 hours. It was so intimate and special to get ready in the comfort of our home. The price point for everything was very similar to most salons in the Atlanta area and it was worth every penny to have the seclusion of just us and the stylist team. The makeup was all very natural and enhanced features solely for photography. My mothers felt absolutely beautiful and my girls all felt like themselves. I loved having this team for my wedding day!
Grace was fabulous! I planned my wedding in less than two weeks. She did hair and make up for 5 of us the morning of my wedding. Very professional. We all looked beautiful. She listened to what each of us wanted and delivered. I highly recommend Grace. You will not be disappointed!!!
I can't say enough good things about Grace Armas Hair & Design. She was professional, prompt and had a great personality. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she delivered the look that I wanted and the results were beautiful. Both my hair and make up were exactly the look that I wanted and I received compliments throughout the night. I would recommend Grace Armas Hair & Design to any bride looking for a quality professional that will listen to her needs and deliver quality results at a very reasonable price.
I absolutely loved working with Grace Armas for my hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only did I absolutely love my hair and makeup, but the two other girls she brought along to do my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law were amazing too! So friendly and super talented. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous. I am highly recommending Grace Armas for anyone that is looking for hair and makeup design. Loved her and her team!
Grace was so wonderful to work with! She is beyond talented with her makeup and hair syling skills. She made me totally comfortable and showed up on time and ready to go! Grace had a schedule prepped for everyone ahead of time so all my bridemaids knew exactly when to show up to the venue. She was efficient and very patient with me (and my bridemaids) when we wanted to make changes to our hair or makeup. I'd use her again for another event in the future given my experience with her thus far. I would recommend her to anyone!
I can't thank Grace enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I have truly never felt so pampered and confident as I did that day, thanks to Grace. She really worked with me to come up with exactly what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. Not to mention, my hair and makeup stayed put all night long so all my pictures look perfect! THANK YOU, GRACE!
There are so many good things to say about Grace and her team!! First off, SHE IS AWESOME and SO TALENTED. When I called up Grace frantic (because my original hairstylist was not on the same page as me and did not execute the vision I had hoped for on my wedding day) she was so nice, helpful and calming. She had me come in for a hair trial and was able to do EXACTLY what I wanted from just showing her a picture.
On the day of, she and her assistant turned my bridal party into movie stars and my updo was PERFECT. She has a great, fun energy and we had a great time getting ready. I would highly recommend Grace!!!
Grace was an absolute pleasure to work with. My trial run gave me a great idea of what to expect for the wedding day. She was able to make me, my 6 bridesmaids and mother/mother in law look flawless. She had a strict schedule which helped the day flow well. We did run about 30 minutes over schedule but I think this was due to the photographer arriving late. Thanks Grace!
Grace was a dream to work with! She arrived on time and had set up a schedule for me and my bridesmaids and mom to make sure we were finished by the time I needed to be at the venue. Her assistant, Emily, came along to help us meet that timeline and Emily did a wonderful job of making everyone's makeup look gorgeous. Grace did my hair and makeup herself and I looked outstanding (she even gave me eyebrows!) It almost makes me sad that I will never look that good again. Everyone wants to look their most beautiful on their wedding day and Grace helped me achieve that vision!
After having my trial with Grace, I knew I'd made the right decision in choosing her for my wedding day hair & makeup. Grace has such a kind presence and has mastered taking photos to life with hair. She works with you to ensure you have realistic expectations of what she can do with your hair, and is very knowledgeable of her skills. My makeup was absolutely beautiful, lasted all day and well into the after-party.
Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, Grace!... Grace is an absolutely amazing makeup artist. She uses great quality makeup and even offers eye lashes and airbrush makeup (which lasted the entire night!)... Because there was 10 girls in my wedding party, she made sure to bring another makeup artist so we would all be done in time. (She was also wonderful!)... They arrived on time and they were really easy to work with! I highly recommend hiring Grace Armas for your wedding!!! Thanks again!!!
I considered putting an exclamation point or twenty after "Amazing" just to emphasize how pleased I was with Grace's services, but it still would not adequately express how absolutely pleased I am.
I don't usually wear makeup, but my photographer highly recommended it--specifically air brushed. I found Grace, told her about my makeup aversion and expressed that looking as natural yet elegant as possible was a priority. She did all of that and more. I looked gorgeous. I looked so good I am glad that I don't wear makeup, because now that I've seen my full potential I know I could never achieve such amazingness on my own--it would be a constant exercise in frustration. In addition to doing a fantastic job with my makeup she was super professional, easy to work with, and showed her experience with weddings and working with brides. It was the little things that were so helpful and considerate.
Grace also did hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids. She was so patient and really listened and worked to get them the look that they wanted. I've worked with stylists where they try to imprint their vision onto a client, but Grace was more concerned with what we wanted.
I could not have asked for a better stylist to work with on the most important day of my life.
She is wonderful.
Grace did an awesome job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I couldn't have asked for anything better. My bridesmaids loved their hair and some even commented about how their hair looked exactly like the picture they had shown Grace. I would highly recommend Grace and her assistant Emily to future brides!
Grace was amazing! I felt like such a princess on our big day. I would choose her 100 time over again. Thank you again Grace for everything!!!
Who doesn't want to look fantastic on the most important day of their life? Well I definitely did not take any short cuts when talking about my hair! Grace and her assistant Emily was a pleasure to work with! They were professional, prompt and detailed! I could not be happier to have hired them for my special day! My hair along with the bridal party sure looked fantastic! I seriously could not have asked for anything more perfect! I'll definitely enjoy looking at our wedding pictures for years to come! Thank You Grace for such a job well done!!!!!!
Grace is amazing at make-up artistry! I showed her a couple photos, and told her I wanted my eyes to pop and look big, highlight my blue iris and have a smokey like look. She incorporated all of these things and I LOVED the outcome. I have had my make-up professionally done for 4 weddings recently and Grace was really outstanding. The price I quoted is with a $15 tip. I highly recommend Grace for not just weddings but for any type of event/photoshoot where an awesome make-up artist is needed! She also has the sweetest soul and caring personality. She does hair too and will be willing to fix your hair if the hairdresser is not as talented as you thought :) Thank you so much Grace for your beautiful touch!
Grace and Emily were awesome!! Their professionalism and talent truly exceeded our expectation. They worked on myself as well as my eight bridesmaids, mom and mom in-law. Although it was a large group they managed to work on time and smoothly without a hitch. The headpieces I purchased for the bridesmaids were a bit snug however Grace managed to improvise so it worked out beautifully!!
Thank you both for making all of us feel and look absolutely amazing on my special day! :))
Thank you,
M. Castro (Atlanta, GA)
I recently got married in March and Grace was not only helpful and considerate but easy to communicate with and she does a fabulous job on hair and makeup! Grace and her team were professional, efficient, friendly and accommodating! Would recommend to any bride!
Grace did an amazing job! When I first met Grace she invited me to her beautiful home for my trial. She was very accomodating and listened to every detail that I had envisioned about my hair and makeup. She took her time and really got to know me.
The day of the wedding, Grace and her assistant arrived early and did an amazing job. She stuck to her timeline she created for my 7 girls who ALL got hair and makeup. Between the two laides they had 8 girls to complete before the wedding and they nailed it! Everyone complimented my bridesmaids and they all felt beautiful.
If you are looking for someone who cares about your day, is organized, and knows how to style hair and makeup perfectly, then Grace is your girl!

Grace is AWESOME! I found Grace on theknot.com and after a few conversations, I was confident she would be the perfect hairstylist. Grace made my bridal dreams come true! I showed up to the trial with some pictures and ideas already in mind and Grace worked her magic!
A few weeks before the wedding, I changed my mind about the hairstyle I wanted and Grace was more than accommodating. Grace showed up to my venue a couple of minutes early and got started immediately. She did hair for me, three of my bridesmaids, my mom and my flower girl. She really listened to what everyone asked for. Everyone's hair looked beautiful and despite the wind we ended up having, it held up the entire day, even though dancing!
Not only is Grace talented as a hairstylist, she's got a friendly personality. We all had so much fun and felt so beautiful the entire day. I would definitely recommend Grace for any occasion!
Grace did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I couldn’t imagine it being any more beautiful. She is so talented at what she does and you will not regret choosing her for your wedding day hair & makeup. Grace and her assistant also did the mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and 4 of my bridesmaids. Everyone’s hair & makeup looked gorgeous and she was able to get us all done on time!
Grace was wonderful to work with. I had a consult before the wedding with a trial of my hair and makeup. From there, we were able to decide what my wedding look would be. She was extremely professional on our wedding day and was able to do hair for all 7 of my bridesmaids and my mother with the help of an assistant. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is very friendly and was fun to spend time with on our wedding day! Thank you so much Grace for making me feel beautiful!
I partnered up with Grace Armas on an Inspiration Shoot in the Atlanta area and she was amazing to work with!
She is very punctual and made everyone including our models very comfortable! She has such a sweet spirit and really goes above and beyond to make sure whoever she is working with feels beautiful. I can't wait to partner up with her again and refer to brides!
Grace and her team did an amazing job. They made everyone look beautiful and very easily translated the hair/makeup examples we brought in into reality! Each of us have very different types of hair and coloring and they were able to tailor our hairstyles and makeup in a way that complemented each of our unique features AND kept with the theme/coloring of the bridesmaid dresses and flowers.
Grace made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. I reached out for a hair and makeup trial this summer for my October wedding and Grace was very timely in getting back to me and was SO nice. She invited my bridal party and I to her home on a Saturday for the trial and instantly became comfortable talking to her and also trusting her with my look. She did an amazing job and we absolutely had a great time with her at the trial and for the wedding. She was very clear on pricing and was very accommodating. She gave me advice on which extensions to purchase and also traveled to the location we needed her to for the wedding day. If I could give her more than 5 stars I totally would. Grace is the absolute BEST!!! She will make you feel like the princess you deserve to feel like on your big day while also feeling like you have been friends for years. Thanks Grace!!! Xo-Erin
We found Grace on the Knot. We had a trial run at her home prior to the wedding and were very impressed. She was easy to work with and listened to our ideas as well as offering suggestions. She was very cost effective compared to other vendors. On the actual wedding day, she was accompanied by 2 other stylists as we had 9 of us having our hair and makeup done. She had previously given us a schedule, so everything went smoothly. I can honestly say, my hair stayed in place the entire day. I felt almost as beautiful as the bride. I don't normally wear much makeup, but I didn't feel "overdone" with the finished product! I would recommend her services to any bride!
For my sister's wedding day, we had 7 bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and the bride getting their hair and makeup done. Grace sent us a detailed schedule and instructions beforehand, which was very helpful. Grace and her two assistants arrived early to help us start our day. They were very friendly, professional and open to all of our suggestions on how we wanted to look. They did as many touch-ups as we needed and stayed until we were all 100% happy with our look. They even provided us with little baggies of foundation and lip color for a mid-reception touch-up. I cannot thank Grace enough for helping us all look beautiful for the best day of my sister's life so far!
I first contacted Grace on September 17. That night we discussed pricing, wedding party, and settled on a trial date of October 13. Last night (October 7) I realized we had not settled on a time to meet so I emailed her with my availibity along with some pictures of styles I liked. This morning I woke up with the following email:
"Good morning, I am so sorry but I have already booked January 10, 2015. I don't block the wedding date for brides until I do a trial. I have been cancelled and have had no show trials before because brides are also inquiring other hair and make up artist so I may speak to two brides about the same day. It breaks my heart and its so unfornutate when I have two honest brides willing and ready for their trial and I have to say no to one."
First of all, one of the brides (either myself of the other with the same date) should have been notified that there was a possibility that the date would become booked up. I has been made aware of this, I could have at least been researching other options or been more prepared. Second, I also could have adjusted my trial date. I don't think it's fair that just becasue she scheduled her trial sooner that I am left out to dry. Bottom line is she shouldn't entertian two brides with the same wedding date. So now three days before my trial I am back to the drawing board. Being a teacher, it is difficult for me to get PTO off of work, so now I am wasting a holiday.
I am very much a people pleaser and laid back bride, but would NOT recommend wasting your time with Grace. Glad I found out sooner rather than later
Grace was so sweet and professional! She traveled to be there on my big day, and I am so glad she was willing to do so! Loved her!
Let me say I was very nervous trying to find a hairstylist for my wedding day hair. I am a former professional ballerina and have been doing my own hair and makeup since I was a young girl. Being new to the area I had to rely on reviews and word of mouth. I met Grace at a Bridal Show and immediately liked her. She is an extremely nice and easy person to talk to and everyone in my family loved her. She keeps in the background for the most part and just works her magic. I did not know what to expect and had never had someone do my makeup, but when she let me see myself after she was done I was shocked and don't think I've smiled that big since my husband proposed! I looked gorgeous!!! I'm a mom of a 1 and 2 year old so my days of getting dolled up are few and far between. Grace is amazing and I felt the most gorgeous I've felt in a long time. We reviewed a few pics before we got started and she created the exact same hairstyle and makeup as discussed, but I honestly think she did better. I wish I could post pics because it was that good! You will be so thankful for choosing Grace to take care of your hair and makeup. She is a delight to work with and listens to every thought or concern you have as she creates your dream look. She also did my Mom's hair and my bridal party's hair. Everyone was extremely pleased. I dreamed of looking pretty on my wedding day, but ended up looking stunning and breathtaking. Very pleased with Grace!!! So glad we invested and used her services!
Grace recently provided hair and makeup services for a wedding that I was in. I had both my hair and makeup done by Grace over the course of the day. My hair was done at 9:30 and my makeup at 12:00. I was concerned that I would begin to look wilted, but both hair and makeup stood the test of time and looked fresh at 6:00 PM when the ceremony began. She was able to recreate the hair and makeup inspiration pictures that I had brought with me. Grace is very friendly, easy to talk to and patient.
For my wedding, Grace Armas went above and beyond in every aspect of my own and my whole bridal party's hair and make up. Grace does a in-depth, through trial run to give you a real insight into how your hair and makeup will look. She was always easy to contact and gave great advice/ tips for the wedding day to make our hair and makeup stay perfect. She provided me with a timeline for all the bridesmaid which is super helpful for any bride on their wedding day. My updo for the ceremony was perfect and Grace was able to do a quick half up style inbetween the ceremony and reception which turned out even more perfect. She was always available for all the girls and myself to get touch ups as well. I would highly recommend Grace for any other bride looking for the perfect hair and makeup, she is beyond amazing!
I was the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding in Atlanta and Grace was our hair and makeup! She did a great job of calming the bride's nerves while doing an excellent job of making everyone look and feel beautiful! I definitely recommend her on both personality and job well done!
Grace did an awesome job for my hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She is very professional and afforable! So easy to work with and she even came out to the venue which was over an hour away to do our hair and makeup!
I loved working with Grace! I found her online, which can sometimes be a gamble, but after the hair and makeup trial run, I knew that she would be the perfect person to work with on my wedding day.
I decided to give my bridesmaids/mother hair and makeup as a gift, and I was so happy that I decided to spend the extra money as opposed to just having my hair and makeup done. It was such a fun time for us all to hang out. Grace had a very thorough schedule for the day, and everything was done perfectly on time. Each girl had different updos and looks (to reflect their different personalities), but they all coordinated with one another so well.
I would definitely recommend Grace for a wedding/event. Not only is she a great stylist, she is so nice, friendly, and easy to work with.
Grace and her assistant Hope are absolutely AMAZING! You cannot believe how gorgeous my bridesmaids and I were for my June wedding! I knew Grace was the one for me from the first time we spoke! I can't tell you how much fun I had with her on the trial that I did with her! She has such an fantastic personality, and her hands are like MAGIC! She ran with my ideas and turned them into something more beautiful than I could have even imagined. All of my bridesmaids, and my mothers totally enjoyed chatting with her and Hope as they wistfully made everyone into models!
I would recommend them to any bride that I come across, you will not be let down! They make the day of a very special day, no hassles, they travel to you, and honestly their personalities make your special day even that much better!
Grace you are so amazing, thank you so much for being a part of my special day!
Grace did a great job! I'm not one to wear a lot of make up, so she kept it natural while still making me feel beautiful. I used clip in extensions and she made them look natural. She made some great suggestions on the details of my hair and it turned out beautifully! I definitely recommend her!
I had the pleasure of working with Grace for my big day. From my trial to the day of she was so quick to respond to me and made sure that everything I was hoping for happened! I had 10 ladies doing hair and make up that day and everything was flawless! I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Grace for your big day, she was truly a pleasure to work with.
I cannot express how beautiful I felt on my wedding day, thank you Grace!!!
Grace was professional and flexible throughout the whole process. I am very picky with my make-up and she did an amazing job with my make-up and hair. She was very consultative and gave great suggestions. She also worked very quickly and efficiently. I had a great experience and got endless compliments on my make-up and hair!
I contacted Grace because I saw her work on facebook. I was impressed how natural and beautiful all her brides look. In particular, she always seemed to capture something captivating about the person's face. Whether it was thier bright blue eyes, or high cheeks she seemed to always bring that out with her hair and make-up.
I planned a small wedding at my mother - in - laws outdoor garden. My dress was not your typical dress since I was 5 mos pregnant. I have to admit I didn't feel all to sexy but Grace really made me feel sexy, glamorous, and elegant.
THANK YOU! She also went above and beyond and touched up my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
So happy that she was able to fly down to do my wedding.
Extremely grateful and will always keep her in mind for future events!

I recently had Grace do my hair and make-up for my wedding in September and she did such an amazing job! We have such a close bond and I trust her vision! I knew that she would such a good job, that I left it all in her hands. AND can I say I looked absolutely GORGEOUS! So, gorgeous that my husband (doesn't like to admit) teared when he saw me. My goal was achieved! (HaHa)
If you have the opportunity to go to any hair stylist or make-up artist, do yourself a huge favor and go see Grace Armas! She makes you even more BEAUTIFUL then you already are and that's a fact!
I have used Grace for almost every wedding I have ever attended and I have always been more then satisfied. I was a guest of one wedding where people were coming up to me to take pictures of my hair for their wedding day. It would come to no surprise that when me and my friends were getting married that we had to have her for our special day as well. Grace is really talented and well rounded, weather it be a new funky style that just came out or a style that is timeless she rocks them all. I wouldn't trust anyone else for your big day!
Grace is the best!!! She did my hair and airbrush makeup for mywedding. She gave me soft curls with old Hollywood look. After my cermony I had her stay around and pin my hair up.some girls change the dress I change my hair. Thank you Grace for making me feel so beautiful on my special day.
I was part of a wedding party where I was introduced to Grace. From the moment that I met her, she exhibited extreme professionalism and a great sense of fashion. She did an amazing hair and makeup job on not only me but more importantly on the bride. From that moment on, I made it a point to have Grace do my hair. It's a shame not to have her in New Jersey as she would continue to be my beauty consultant.
Grace has been my stylist/colorist for 7 years now. So, when it came time to choose my stylist/makeup artist for my wedding, I chose Grace--not because of convenience, but because she is absolutely AMAZING...(and she's really cool).
I was worried my curls would fall out since we were getting ready so much earlier than when the ceremony was taking place, or that all my dancing would bounce them straight!! By the end of the night, my hair still looked perfect! (And I did A LOT of dancing)....event the morning after they looked gretty!! My makeup was flawless. No smudging or running or anything! I didn't have to touch up at all....ok, well, maybe some lip gloss after dinner :)
I would very highly recommend Grace. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and the fact I didn't have to worry about my hair/makeup the morning of, was a very big sigh of relief!
Grace did my hair for my girlfriend's wedding in May. I have a short bob haircut and was afraid I couldn't do much with it. Grace proved me wrong! I had brought a picture w/me and she mirrored it perfectly - even went above and beyond! I got so many compliments all day. It was exactly what I wanted, and it stayed in place the entire day and night. I hope to use Grace when I get married someday. Thank you! :)
Grace did my hair for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. After consulting with Grace, we decided that since I always wear my hair down, I'd probably be the most comfortable doing that on my wedding day. I wanted it to look more special than every day though. Not only did she help me pick out and cut my extensions so that I could wear them on my wedding day but she put them in for my trial to calm my anxiety about wearing them. She also helped me choose the perfect hair clip to jazz up my 'do.
My mother in law and mother were also really apprehensive about getting their hair done (being so set in their ways) and Grace did a trial for them as well to calm the momzilla nerves. She even worked with the moms on some strategically placed shorter extensions to add some body. She was SO patient with all of us through our pre-wedding concerns and never got frustrated with our inability to make a decision.
On my wedding day, it rained cats and dogs, and Grace did everything in her power to make sure all of our hair stayed frizz free, and it definitely did! I got so many complements on all of our hair, and we couldn't have been happier once we saw the pictures. She also arrived early, and made sure everyone was on time. I'd highly recommend her for your special day. (She's also a fantastic makeup artist!)
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Grace and her exceptional bridal business! Grace did my hair and make-up (along with my 10 bridesmaids, mother and mother in law) on my wedding day two years ago and everyone was thrilled with her service!! My pictures came out awesome--thanks to her magical touch! She scheduled the day perfectly and the price was extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend Grace for any bride to be!! :)
Grace was my regular hair dresser while living in NJ so there wasn't even a question that I would hire her on my wedding day. I got married on 12/31/12 and had 5 bridesmaids along with my mother getting their hair done. All of the girls loved their hair and there was not one complaint. That says a lot, especially about picky girls!! My hair, came out perfect. I literally felt like a princess and it held all night with out looking like a helmet. Grace is also such a joy to be around and has so much pride in her work. She is exceptionally talented and is truly an artist.
I had an amazing experience with Grace on my wedding day. I was nervous for my bridesmaids because I knew they had a bad experience at our friend's last wedding. They weren't happy and they didn't want it to happen again. I was confidant I was going to look just like we had discussed and how amazing she made me look the day of my trial. Needless to say all 4 of my girls were happy and I looked even better then the day of the trial. We all got so many compliments all night and our hair and make didn't even flinch!! We just retouched our lips. It was such a great feeling to look and feel FABULOUS! Thank Grace !
I would highly recommend Grace Armas Hair & Makeup Design! Not only is she incredibly talented with both hair style, color and cut but also an exceptional make up artist. My bridal party (and myself) looked absolutely stunning and most importantly to me was that she achieved a sophisticated yet natural look I was looking for. I can honestly say that my makeup never looked better... and it also photographed beautifully! Aside from her talent, Grace is extremely personable and professional. She patiently listened to each of our needs and provided wonderful advice. She was so accommodating to us all from our trial session to wedding day. I will definitely be using Grace again as should you! I can't thank you enough Grace for making my wedding day beautiful and stress- free!
I must say on my special day I truly felt special. Grace made me feel awesome and full of confident just by making me look beautiful. She did my make up just like I wanted it "The natural look" and my hair was prefect. I would recommend her to anyone.
