Hello Darlin' Glam

Samantha did hair & makeup for myself and my two bridesmaids. We all looked and felt beautiful. She was timely and chatty with us girls. We all did soft glam and our hair & makeup stayed in tact throughout an outdoor ceremony and the drinks and dancing that followed. Was a wonderful experience and would recommend her services to future brides!

Hello Darlin’ Glam was so wonderful throughout the planning process and on our wedding day! We had the fabulous Melissa and Brianna, and they made our whole party feel so beautiful. Having a one-stop-shop for all of your beauty needs and a great team that provided so many resources and answered every question that I had made things incredibly smooth, and I appreciate everything they did for us. Sam, Jess, and the whole team are rockstars, and I would recommend them to anyone!

We loved Hello Darlin'! They did hair and makeup for 7 people with an early wake up call and tight timeline. I didn't even do a trial with them since I was out of state and I absolutely loved both my hair and makeup. No complaints at all and would highly recommend!

Hello Darlin' Glam's Morgan and Melissa were fabulous!!! Best way to start our wedding day. I loved getting to know them at the trial before my bridal shower and I didn't even have to change my look for the big day because I loved it so much. My hair was still in perfect shape at midnight and my makeup was flawless. I received tons of compliments on both! I loved being able to book hair and makeup for our crew of six at the same time. Jess, beauty coordinator, had quick and excellent response time time to all my questions. Booking with Hello Darlin' Glam was one of the best vendors we booked! Highly recommend!

Hello Darlin' made me look better than I've ever looked in my life and will likely ever look. They saw the vision and executed it perfectly. I live out of state and wasn't able to do a preview so I was nervous how they would do but they are certified professionals! Morgan and Arianna are brilliant artists. I would HIGHLY recommend Hello Darlin' to any brides in the DSM area!

Sam, Arianna and the entire HDG team were great to work with! From my trial to the wedding day, they were not only great at what they do professionally, but also kept me having fun and laughing! They were an absolute joy to have in the getting ready room. As far as my overall look on the wedding day, it was perfect! I had super minor tweaks I wanted done from the trial and both Sam and Arianna not only heard me, but delivered exactly what I asked for. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more beautiful. I highly recommend!

Hello Darling Glam was so easy to work with. From my first chat with her, Samantha was super reassuring and put to rest my worries about being able to have a different lighter look that was more suited to Asian features and my personal taste. Samantha (make-up) and Melissa (hair) were both very professional, experienced and extremely skilled at what they do. They made all of us look beautiful but recognisable, which was exactly what I wanted. I do not usually wear make-up as I have very sensitive skin, but their products caused no irritation whatsoever even keeping it on all day, and the make-up did not budge.

Hello Darlin' Glam is the best choice to bring your hair & makeup dreams to life! We had 16 people doing hair and makeup for our September wedding and we were having a hard time finding a vendor who could take our large group and was LGBTQ+ friendly. Luckily from the initial conversation with Samantha, our group size was not of concern and we saw other LGBTQ+ couples on the HDG website/social media. In addition, Samantha was excited, detailed, and listened to our needs. We were pleased to hear they had options for the team to come to our venue for getting ready and no hidden fees. The price transparency and options were so refreshing after reviewing so many vendors who charge for parking, mileage, travel with limited distance and upcharge for each additional artist. HDG has is packaged so you know the cost per person. It was easy planning with them; their response time was quick and they include out of office replies so you know if they won't be able to respond for a while due to the demand of business. We had a fun time at our hair/makeup trial and felt extremely comfortable expressing what we wanted, tweaks, etc. We never felt we would offend the artist and ultimately they wanted us to feel 100% on the big day. The wedding day getting ready was seamless. The timeline we prearranged with Jess (Beauty Coordinator) was so helpful so our bridesmaids knew what time each service was and when they needed to go to their artists' chair. Every single one of our bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup and many wished they could of had HDG for their wedding (truly, I am not just saying this!). Samantha did both our bridal makeup and Melissa and Stephanie did our bridal hair and we are still swooning over how we looked. When I tell you not a single hair was out of place and our makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night, that should help solidify HDG for your big day! We are so thankful!

Highly recommend Hello Darlin!! Morgan and Arianna were amazing on my wedding day! We had 8 people for hair and makeup and everyone looked so good!! Morgan did makeup and Arianna did hair. Both were so fun to work with. They were great with staying on time but not rushing and helped keep the morning so relaxed. I love that it was all through one company too to make things easier planning wise on me!

Hello Darlin' Glam is simply amazing in all they do! Sam and Melissa both made everyone in my bridal party, including myself, feel so beautiful. They were both fun to hang out and chat with all morning, and they really listened to what each person wanted. I made a few changes from my trial to wedding day, and both Sam and Melissa executed it all perfectly. The timeline they created was so helpful, and everything was done with time to spare. I would highly recommend them to anyone with hair and makeup needs! They will go above and beyond to make your day the best!

Hello Darlin’ Glam made me truly feel like a princess on my wedding day. Throughout the entire process the whole team was so helpful and organized. As someone who does not wear a lot of makeup I was not quite sure what I wanted for my bridal look, but Madison my makeup artist made me feel comfortable and listened to what I was wanting. Being able to have a trial and see what the makeup would look like made me confident going into my wedding day. Tatum the hair stylist was so great with not only my hair but with all of my bridesmaids of different hair lengths and textures. She knew exactly what to do for each bridesmaid to make them look and feel their best! Both my hair and makeup stayed on perfectly throughout the day. I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team!

They did a fantastic job, were personable, and did a fantastic job catering to the beauty needs of my bridal party. We had a range of looks for the party, and everyone came out looking beautiful and like themselves!

HIGHLY recommend! Hello Darlin Glam is organized and makes your day stress free. All of their girls are amazing! You will not be disappointed.

Samantha and Morgan did the most incredible job doing hair and make-up for myself and the bridal party on my wedding day. Both artists were early, kind, accommodating, and generous with their time. We could not have asked for a better overall experience. They left myself and my bridesmaids feeling the most beautiful we've ever felt! I could not recommend their team more highly.

Hello Darlin’ Glam was really great to work with! I live in Boston, so scheduling my previews was a little tricky, but Samantha was very accommodating to get the appointments scheduled on days when I was in Des Moines. On the day of the wedding, my makeup artist and hair stylist were very efficient and were able to work at the same time to put my look together in less than an hour. I was stunned by how beautiful my hair and makeup looked, it was absolutely flawless, and despite the fact that it was a sweltering and humid summer day, my look stayed in place until the very end of the night.

I have so many wonderful things to say about Sam and her team. Do not hesitate, book them now! Sam and her team were able to do hair and makeup for 9 people on the morning of my wedding. Each and every member of the bridal party were extremely happy with their hair and makeup. If any changes were requested, Sam and her team were happy to do so. They came prepared, did their magic, and left with us all looking amazing. And I looked FABULOUS. Seriously, you won't regret working with this team!

The Hello Darlin' Glam team is an incredible choice for your wedding hair and makeup! I did so much research and finally decided on this company as their work is flawless. They were recommended by one of my best friends, whose wedding actually came first and I had never had so many compliments on my makeup as a bridesmaid. When it came to my wedding, they made me feel absolutely beautiful and were such a blast to work with.

Sam and Jennifer were amazing!!! I can’t recommend Hello Darlin’ Glam enough!! There was plenty of things to stress about for our wedding, hair and makeup wasn’t one of them. Sam worked with me on what exactly I was looking for and they nailed it on the big day! I’ve never felt more beautiful. They have airbrushing but also regular makeup. My mom is very picky about her makeup and they used her foundation for her. My hair NEVER holds a curl but it stayed perfect the entire day and night. 15/10

I highly recommend Hello Darlin' Glam! We hired them to do makeup for our bridal party and were so happy with the results! Katelyn did my makeup, and after my preview session I communicated with her a few tweaks I had in mind for my look. She was more than accommodating and I loved the changes that were made. As someone who doesn't know a whole lot about makeup, I knew I was in good hands with the team at Hello Darlin' Glam. Professional, communicative, and talented!

Samantha and her team were very accommodating and efficient. Everyone looked amazing and we were done ahead of schedule.

I had Arianna, Bek, Jen, and Morgan for my wedding hair and makeup! I loved that they sent 4 artists for my 9 gals getting hair and makeup done! It made it go by so quickly and everything stayed on time, which is amazing since most weddings get behind from hair and makeup. All of my bridesmaids and the MOB/MOG looked SO GOOD, and I loved my hair and makeup as well! Hello Darlin' was so easy to work with, and Bek was so open to any changes I wanted in makeup and was super helpful answering any questions I had during my trial and on the day of. All of the girls were so pleasant and professional on my wedding day, chatting with my girls the entire time, it was just such a fun atmosphere with everyone getting ready together. I LOVED that they do both hair and makeup, so I didn't have to book a different vendor for each that I would've had to coordinate, it made the process so easy for a super stressed bride, I would definitely recommend Hello Darlin' for your bridal glam needs!!

The whole crew from Hello Darlin' Glam was amazing! We used them for our wedding on 9-17-22 in Clear Lake, IA; they were so professional from the get-go! They had pre-made timelines, showed up on time, and did all of our hair perfectly. We were so thankful they traveled 2 hours to spend the wedding morning with us, and my hair lasted all night! I meant to take it down for my second look, but I left it in a bun & I absolutely loved how it looked. 1000/10 recommend for your wedding day! Emily

Would give 10 stars! Sam went out of her way to make sure it was perfect. Seriously, I am so grateful to her for her advice and the time she spent with me to get familiar with hair extensions and what makeup I would be comfortable with (I didn’t want a lot but wanted it to be special!)… it was absolutely gorgeous. And it stayed all night. Nothing but good things to say - top notch quality and professionalism, and she made it FUN!

I would highly recommend this vendor for wedding day hair styling and makeup. All the stylists were very talented. It was so relaxing having the team come to us at the hotel to get everyone ready!

Hello Darlin' Glam was amazing! The three artists that came were great and very personable. The whole process was smooth and super efficient. Highly highly recommend them for your wedding day!

I absolutely loved working with the Hello Darlin' team! It was easy to schedule with them and Samantha was wonderful in setting up a makeup trial. On the day of the wedding, Samantha and her teammate came and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful, without taking too much time. Samantha does airbrush, which is exactly what I wanted. Fabulous makeup team!

Highly recommend Hello Darlin’ Glam! Sam communicated with me the whole planning process for our wedding and it was so simple and easy. The stylists arrived on time and got everyone through on time. It was great that they put a timeline together on the order to help us stay on track.

Hello Darlin' Glam is the BEST of the best! On my wedding day, we specifically had Morgan, Brianna, and Bek doing makeup for myself and the women in my bridal party. All of my girls had nothing but great things to say about all of them, their personalities, professionalism, and great work! They made us feel gorgeous for my big day. I cannot recommend working with them enough. Thank you SO much to the Hello Darlin' Glam team, and especially Morgan, Brianna, and Bek! :)

Had my makeup and hair done for my wedding! They did a great job and were very easy to talk to! They brought my vision to life and I would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Hello Darlin! They are prompt at answering your questions, friendly, and truly talented at what they do! I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day. Would use their services again for any special event!

I would definitely hire Hello Darlin Glam for any make up or hair style events! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Morgan and Steph. My make up was absolutely flawless and stayed flawless the whole day even after crying. I was worried about how my hair would turn it but my hair couldn't have turned out better. I loved it and I am so happy I had Steph style my hair the day of! Steph curled it and styled it exactly how I wanted it and it looked beautiful the whole day. My bridesmaids make up and hair was perfect too! This team is amazing and very friendly! They will listen to you and make your vision a reality. We had so much fun getting ready the morning of! I can't thank them enough!!

Cannot recommend Hello Darlin' enough! They will absolutely deliver with whatever hair/makeup look you and your bridesmaids are looking for! My bridesmaids and I asked for a variety of makeup/hair looks and styles and Samantha and her team nailed them all!

Samantha and her team with Hello Darlin’ Glam were wonderful to work with for my wedding day! Brianna truly made me feel beautiful and confident on my big day! Talented artists and very flexible around hectic wedding planning schedules. Highly recommend!

Hello Darlin' Glam has the perfect touch to make things so personal and fun! I was impressed with the punctuality of our make-up and hair artists and how they stayed right on schedule. We didn't have to worry about a thing! They were also so thoughtful and fun to include in the excitement of getting ready day of! Thank you thank you :)

If you hire Hello Darlin Glam for your wedding day, you will not be disappointed. BOOK THEM! I was nervous about having professional hair and makeup done, as I have never had it done before, and was afraid of not looking like myself. Sam is very prompt in her communication from the start and setting up a preview session. She really knocked it out of the park with how my hair/makeup turned out and I couldn’t have been more happy. My wedding day glam turned out better than the preview session, as she put her own creative spin on it. My makeup (including lipstick) stayed on the ENTIRE NIGHT. No touch ups needed! My hair continued to stay looking effortless and intact, despite a windy afternoon taking pictures. I can’t recommend Sam and her team enough for your wedding day glam needs. The environment she creates while getting ready is relaxed, yet still structured. She has wedding day glam down to a science. Sam will listen to your wants and inspiration and execute it perfectly, adding in her own creative touch. No matter your bridal party needs, the Hello Darlin Glam team has got you covered!

Had a great experience will the gals who did my wedding. I was so nervous but everything turned out better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend!

Sam was more than wonderful. Not only did she pass the vibe check with fun stories and so much personality, like seriously, I wish she could join us for girls night, but I felt BEAUTIFUL! She was flexible with trial times, and has day-of timeline down to a science. I thought it was crazy to start when we did, but photographers arrived in the last 10 minutes of my makeup. Literally perfectly timed. She left touch ups for us, which we didn’t even need. I cried ALL DAY and my lashes and mascara didn’t budge, I snacked on fruit and veggies before ceremony and my lipstick was still on AFTER dinner and cake. I didn’t feel caked with makeup, the color was stunning, she matched my Smokey eye to our bridesmaid dress color, blended perfectly… seriously couldn’t imagine a more beautiful job from a more beautiful gal, inside and out. You would seriously be so lucky to book her for your day

Sam at Hello Darlin’ Glam is an absolute rockstar! I feel so lucky to have found her for my big day. She managed to do my hairstyle along with 7 other girls, PLUS a flower girl style thrown in at the end, all in time for photos to be taken. Sam made everyone feel beautiful that day, especially me. Thank you!

My wedding makeup turned out to be so beautiful! I can’t thank these ladies enough how how my ladies and I all looked for the wedding. My makeup lasted all day long and was sweat and waterproof. I recommend 100% you won’t be disappointed. :)

I am SO thankful that I found Samantha and Hello Darlin Glam for my wedding. She did my hair and makeup for both my small first wedding during COVID-19 and for my second larger wedding in July 2021. She had another stylist that helped my bridal party of three. Both of these women were AMAZING. Clearly they have been doing this forever, and we all couldn’t believe how beautiful we felt. Samantha was professional, efficient, a good communicator, down to earth, funny, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and a good listener. She was worth every penny, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs hair and makeup done for a headshot, engagement pictures, wedding, senior pictures, whatever. She’s amazing!

Samantha got all of my girls' hair done and mine in a timely manner (ahead of schedule!!!) was fun to talk to, and had a very upbeat personality. All of my girls loved their hair, and she was willing to give recommendations!

I would highly recommend Hello Darlin’ Glam to any bride. Sam & Kelsey did our hair and make-up for my bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law, and we all felt so beautiful. They were absolutely amazing to work with, so responsive and professional. We had the best time getting ready in the morning. I loved how easy it was to chat with the both of them and it just really started off our wedding day on such a positive note. Thank you so much! :)

Hello Darlin' Glam is amazing! Sam did my hair and makeup for my wedding this past spring and I am so thankful I went with Hello Darlin' Glam! She was incredibly professional, came prepared and on time, and was incredibly sanitary. She made getting ready so much fun. As a former bride and a wedding vendor, Sam is the best out there!

She is hands down the best makeup artist in town! I don’t ever let people do my makeup and there is no one I trust more than her! She has an amazing spirit and incredible vibes along with insane talent! Her creativity is brilliant! 10/10 would recommend!

Samantha was professional, easy to work with, and just nice! She did both mine and my mother’s looks for my small 2020 wedding, and I was so pleased. My mom looked amazing. I felt absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her - it’s so great to have someone so skilled in both hair AND makeup, that can travel to your location. Lord willing, we’ll have a slightly larger celebration in 2021 and get to have Samantha make me look gorgeous again! She was definitely the right choice- book her, and trust her to do both your hairstyle and makeup.
