The hair and make up team for my wedding was arguably one of the most important vendors for me to select, so when my MOH, reception venue coordinator, photographer and wedding planner all recommended Lovely Kind Beauty (fka Hey Lovely) I searched them up on social media and immediately fell in love with everything about the overall look, style, feel, etc. of their work. From my engagement photo session and bridal portraits to my wedding day look, Dee turned my vision into a reality and perfected it to a T each time. My hair not only survived but thrived in the Houston humidity, and my make up stayed looking fresh and flawless throughout the entire day and evening. I felt like a queen with my HAMU so stunningly on point! Dee and the team also did HAMU for my bridal party, mother and mother-in-law, and they did not disappoint! In a timely manner, the team efficiently achieved the specific look that each person wanted. Everyone spent the day feeling incredible, loving their look and looking GORGEOUS throughout the entire day of wedding festivities. Dee and the team do an absolutely fabulous job of achieving the ideal balance between a glam and natural look. They are not only professional, punctual, organized and reliable, but they are passionate about their work and extremely talented at what they do. I couldn’t have asked for a better HAMU experience. HIGHLY recommend!

I utilized Lovelykind for my engagement party, trial, and wedding and loved all of my looks! Dee was my lead artist for all and is amazing at what she does! She was such a calming presence and was open to different things I wanted to try or small adjustments I wanted. I felt like she was able to make me still look like myself, but elevated, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Dee and Erica truly made all of my bridesmaids also look incredible for the wedding! They also were so loving on my dog who inserted himself into all of the services that morning (haha)! I felt so elegant and am grateful for Lovelykind being part of our big day!
I cannot thank Lovely Kind enough for their help throughout my wedding weekend! I have never felt more beautiful in my life! But at the same time, I still also felt SO myself. Just perfect! Dee and macee were SO amazing Friday and Saturday doing our hair and makeup for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, and then Dee and Erica at the venue before and after the ceremony were truly my angels! I appreciate you all SO much! You are the BEST!
Any questions?
I booked LovelyKind for my wedding in 2021 back when they were named Hey Lovely. I have put off writing this review because I do not take lightly writing a negative review of business especially a small business, but there were numerous issues.
1. There was no airbrush for foundation at my trial or wedding day. I had a specific conversation with the owner Erica after the trial prior to the wedding asking why my trial did not have airbrush and confirming if there would be airbrush at my wedding. There was no airbrush at the wedding. My wedding planner called her the day of the wedding to ask them where it was. Erica promised someone would hurry over with an airbrush. They never arrived,
2. I had concerns about the sanitation. Texas law requires all brushes and porous items like sponges to be cleaned between clients. This was not occurring.
3. One of the two makeup artists was quite bad. She was doing extreme glam makeup with strong contrast and harsh blush, which is far different than either of my two trials. She was unable to tone it down when asked. The better artist told me that she didn't trust this girl to do bases and that was why she was only on eyes and blush. In the end, the better artists re-did nearly ever person's makeup.
4. There was no "lead artist." Before my wedding I inquired about who my artists would be and was told "All our brides are guaranteed a lead artist assigned to them on their wedding day." None of my artists were listed as lead on the website. After the wedding I asked why I had no lead artists and was told it was due to COVID. I assume my lead artists was out and they filled her spot with the less skilled artists. I understand that emergencies happen, but I wish this was explained to me before the wedding. If I was offered a replacement artists of lesser quality or the option to cancel some services, I would have just cancelled some of the services and had the one makeup artist do fewer people. They did not afford me that option and just hoped I wouldn't notice.
5. I found it very unprofessional that the artists were exchanging text messages about the clients in front of us including very rude comments that the bridesmaids were able to easily see on their phones.
Finally, when I expressed these concerns to Erica she offered me an incredibly small refund that didn't even cover the tip I pre-payed prior to the wedding. I asked to speak to her on the phone to try to better understand what happened and she never responded.
I will say that the one makeup artist was good and the hair stylist was good which leads to the two stars. The main issue was with the lack of professionalism from the company.
I've had great experiences with Lovelykind both as a bridesmaid and bride and would recommend them to anyone!
The process to book them for my wedding was pretty transactional in comparison to other vendors (not including a phone call or personalization), but they were organized, responsive and flexible. The stylists were also right on-time, did a fantastic job with both hair and makeup, and were a joy to be around. I'm really happy with the service received from Lovelykind!!

I was so disappointed in Hey Lovely. For my trial session, the artist was late and had forgotten her keys to the salon. I totally get that people make mistakes, but I ended up being half an hour late to my bridal portraits which was frustrating. The artist looked and acted very unprofessional. I will say that there was another artist in the salon that was working next to mine and she arrived 20 minutes before her client's appointment, looking professional and had all of her materials set up and ready to go, so it is possible I just didn't get paired with one of their better artists. I was happy with my hair, but my makeup was nothing like I asked for and did not last long at all. It seemed very rushed and was not done well. I ended up having Hey Lovely only do my hair for my wedding day, which I was happy with. Unfortunately, the artist was not very friendly at all on my wedding day and did not make me feel good. I would definitely go elsewhere for your beauty needs!

Abby -
Thank you for taking the time to provide us your feedback, especially regarding your trial in mid October. Whether good or bad, feedback like yours is truly invaluable to a small business like ours and impacts us greatly. We’re very sorr...
y to hear about your experience with us. This doesn’t sound like the service we’re known for and we truly regret that we didn’t live up to those expectations here. We completely understand how frustrating this must be to you. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact us at 832.230.3003
Hey Lovely did a fabulous job for my daughters wedding. They had 9 ladies to do hair & makeup for and they did a beautiful job. The bride was stunning and they listened to what she wanted. They did a great job of doing different style (up do’s, partials, pony’s and down). The eye makeup was stunning. You can’t go wrong with this bunch!
I had a great experience with the Hey Lovely team, in particular my MUA Chelsea! She was so kind and patient and was very responsive to feedback from the bridal party. I know we are a picky bunch and she did an excellent job :P I wanted something that was natural-looking where I still looked like myself and Hey Lovely did not disappoint.
Hey Lovely was the best! They made all of us look amazing on my wedding day, and we all felt so beautiful & pampered! They were all so nice and worked with us to give us the glamorous look we wanted. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hair & makeup team for their wedding day!
One of the hardest decisions I had to make while wedding planning was who to hire for hair and make-up. Thankfully, I was suggested Hey Lovely, and the team was an absolute dream. When I went for my bridal trial, Erica helped me create the perfect look I was going for, and I knew she would be one to trust. Erica and Dee glammed up the bridal party, and I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and make up experience. My make up had the perfect blend of natural meets bridal, felt light, and lasted the entire day (in almost 100 degree Texas weather). Not only are they talented, they are super professional to work with. They came on time, had everything set, and were punctual with completing our looks. So thankful I found Hey Lovely! Definitely will be my go to hair and make up artists for every occasion!
Hey Lovely was one of my favorite vendors I hired for our wedding. As a whole, Hey Lovely was professional and kept the morning moving! We had 4 artists who all did an amazing job on both hair and makeup. Many of my bridesmaids said this was their favorite wedding hair/makeup they ever had. Although they were quick they did not compromise in quality. A couple of bridesmaids requested minor changes and the HL girls were happy to accommodate and make sure everyone was satisfied with how they looked.
Brenna did both my hair and makeup. There could never be enough words to truly compliment how wonderful she is. Of course the day of the wedding I woke up with a large blemish. HL may want to consider changing her title as she truly is part magician. She did an amazing job FLAWLESSLY covering without makeup looking dry, cakey etc. Not only is Brenna talented in wizardly ways but she has a great personality that added to the excitement and fun of the day. Really, you should just go to their Instagram and hire Hey Lovely and request Brenna, you won't be sorry.
The girls at Hey Lovely were amazing. They arrived early, tailored each of my bridesmaids looks to exactly what they wanted, and were also just fun to hang out with while getting ready. Our make up looked so great all night long , which is evidenced by how awesome it looked in our photo booth photos that we took towards the end of the night not only after dancing, but also after taking first look photos outside and having an outdoor ceremony and dinner during an unseasonably warm day. Couldn't be happier!
They are an amazing crew. I really enjoyed my trial session and they were very open to the changes I needed to make for the day of the wedding. Everybody from my family and wedding party loved their job, and everything lasted even through the very warm ceremony and party. We enjoyed talking to them and appreciate their tips.
Loved working with HeyLovely for my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding. The pricing was reasonable, and the team was always punctual. They were able to fulfill my vision on what I wanted for the big day, and were very accommodating of the hair and makeup styles that my bridesmaids, MIL and step mom wanted. They did an AMAZING job.
LOVE Hey Lovely! I got married on April 12th, 2019 and had my hair and makeup done by Erica. My wedding party of 5 also got their hair and makeup done by Erica and Gabi. They were both incredible! They asked what each person wanted, gave them the chance to look it over and make any changes, they were on time, and were extremely efficient. I accidentally miscalculated the number of services, but both Erica and Gabi were understanding and it was resolved with no issue. If you are on the fence about booking them, definitely give them a try and you will not be disappointed!
10/10 recommend Erica and her team.
I had the pleasure of getting my hair and make up done by Erica for both of my sisters weddings, SO when I set my wedding date - I had to book HeyLovely immediately!
Erica and her team are reliable, passionate, organized, and FUN! I got my hair and make up done for my engagement photos, bridal photos, and of course wedding day! Each time better than the last!!
For my wedding, I had 4 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother in law that all got hair and make up done! Their timeline was SPOT ON. They communicated with my coordinator and ensured everything flowed perfectly on the day! It was so amazing and stress free (bc your make up is something you don't want to stress about!)
Their passionate about bringing to life the vision you see for yourself...just be careful because you may end up leaving with 1 or 2 new best friends!
The girls from Hey Lovely, particularly Gabi, were so excellent on my wedding day! They kept everyone on schedule, so much so that we were actually ahead of schedule for most of the day. And when the power went out on my mother's block -- in the middle of airbrushing my mother in law's foundation -- the make up artists organized the girls, got them in a lip, packed up and headed to a second location to get my mother in law's make up done with plenty of time before we were due at the venue for photos.
Not only were the artists time conscious and think well on their feet when something goes awry, they were lovely to spend time with and I was thrilled with my makeup and that of my attendants. I felt absolutely beautiful and my makeup stayed well in place until we were leaving the hotel bar after party at 2:00 AM!
The girls from Hey Lovely did the hair and makeup for my wedding in Hutto a few weeks ago, and knocked out different hair styles and makeup for me, my mom, step-mom, mother-in-law, and eight bridesmaids. Brenna and Dee moved quickly to ensure everyone was ready with plenty of time to spare - and were super attentive to each lady to make sure everyone was more than happy! Are they beauty witches?? PROBABLY.
Brenna worked with me for my trial and day-of hair and makeup. I literally showed up with zero pictures and just said "help me, please" and she knew exactly what to do. My hair and makeup lasted through a tearful ceremony, a wild reception dance party, a sweaty party bus, and a drunken bar crawl. The bustle of my dress busted - but my hair and makeup were *fresh* until it was 3 am.
All of this to say - I would highly recommend Hey Lovely for all your bridal beauty needs. They are SUPER knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. You'll also feel like you're chatting with a long-time gal pal when you're in their chair - an extra perk. :) Thank you, ladies!
I was disappointed in hey lovely’s service. The email communication was lagging and hard to follow, I often had to call and email several times for a response. I booked them about 10 months before the wedding because this was something that absolutely had to be right and I wanted the best. I booked them for my bridesmaids and moms too. I had my trial a month before the wedding, I expected to be transformed but the make up was average and I kept having to ask to change almost every part (I am pretty picky). The quality of the make up is great, but they only had one bronzer color so it’s kind of the same look the do on everyone. The girl could not do the updo that I wanted. So I had a second trial with another artist 2 weeks before the wedding and again, she could not complete the updo (a French twist type style). At this point I was pretty freaked out, I talked to the owner who suggested I could cancel my event. That was really frustrating, there was no way I could/wanted to find about her company to come do all of our hair and make up 2 weeks before the wedding. I ended up going to a blow out type place that night for a trial and the girl did my hair in 30 minutes exactly how I wanted it. I hired her separately to do my hair the day of the wedding (which was much more expensive since I wasn’t bundling services etc).
Then, on the day of the wedding the team showed up at the wrong place. When I first booked the team, I thought we were getting ready at the reception venue. That changed pretty quickly though and I emailed them the updated time and location as we switched to a morning wedding. This is at least 6 months before the wedding. Then leading up to the wedding the wedding planner even confirmed which hotel zaza to go to. We got all the hair and make up done but it was really stressful and rushed towards the end.
Overall not impressed for what I though was the best in Houston.
I wish I could give this review 10 stars! Hey Lovely went above and beyond for myself and girls for the wedding day. Gabby and her team made each of my girls feel like a million bucks. Gabby was my main stylists and to say she was amazing is an understatement! She was so kind, attentive, and hilarious. I cannot wait for the next event to come up so I can share with these lovelies again!
After seeing Hey Lovely's work through a friends' photos on Instagram, I knew immediately I had to hire them. I was not disappointed! Erica and her team made sure myself, my bridesmaids, and our mothers looked and felt great on our big day. Even after having a bridal trial that I felt did not convey the look I was wanting to achieve, Erica was extremely understanding and accommodating. She took time out of her busy schedule to do a retrial herself and made sure that my vision came to life. On our wedding day, all of the artists were punctual, efficient, and obviously talented. I could not have felt more gorgeous or more like myself on our big day thanks to these ladies!
So disappointed in the level of customer service and difficulty in communicating with this company. From the get go, I had trouble getting a hold of them. Rarely could reach them on the phone. When I booked the make up trial, they didn't give me the address. I had to ask for it. At the time, they failed to mention that their studio was at the back of an old boarded up house with no street number listed on it. My daughter and I drove up and down the street trying to figure out exactly where they were located. I did receive an email about it approximately one hour before the appointment, after I had already left the office to go to the appointment. I had to walk around the back of the house and through all kinds of construction trash to get to their back door, which was not marked in any way. The "studio" was not complete-there were cabinets with no tops that the artist was working from. As she was doing my make-up I kept wondering why she didn't turn the lights on, as it was getting dark outside. At one point she asked me what I thought of what she had put on my face and I told her I couldn't tell, because I couldn't see it. She told me that she didn't think they had electricity, however I pointed out that she had to, or her straightener, which was plugged in, wouldn't work. She went to the wall and flipped a switch, but no lights. My daughter walked over to another wall and flipped another switch and the lights came on. The girl was surprised. The girl I worked with (don't remember her name) was nice and tried her best, but my make-up came out really light. When I said something, she said she matched it to my neck and chest. My daughter looked at it and could tell that she clearly hadn't because I had a tan and my face was extremely pale. When I got home and asked my fiance what he thought of my make-up, his comment was, "you look very white". I cancelled the contract with no problem, however no one ever reached out to find out why. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Though you ended up not being a Hey Lovely Bride, we thank you so much for taking the time to review Hey Lovely anyway. Your trial was July 15th and we DID provide our address to you on June 1...
5th. As far as complaints with the accommodations, we agree that it was substandard and for that reason we terminated our lease with The Creative Chateau as we only want the best for our clients. We truly believe in our artistic capability and we're disappointed you did not feel the same, however we always value hearing others' opinions. Thank you!
I am so happy I chose Hey Lovely for all of my wedding hair and makeup! Gabby was my main stylist, and I loved her! Not only was she extremely talented, she was also hilarious and made my appointments so fun to go to. She really listened to what I wanted for my hair and makeup and everything came out perfect. All of my girls had their hair and makeup done too, and they were all very happy with their looks as well!

Thank you so much for trusting Hey Lovely for your wedding day! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We're so happy to hear about your experience and look forward to seeing your beautiful photos -- you made the loveliest bri...
de!
Gabbie did my hair for my wedding day and engagement photo shoot. Totally loved her! Not only did I love the makeup and hair, but she's such a sweetheart! She calmed me down when I got anxious moments before leaving for the church. She also helped ease my concerns about what my husband would think of how I looked.
I don't wear make up very often and when I do it tends to be on the lighter side. The few times I've worn "full face" makeup as she called it, he did not like it at all. I also knew he liked my hair down, and although everyone was telling me to wear my hair up during the summer, she helped me feel better about choosing the option I knew he would love the most.
I am so very grateful to her for making me look and feel good on the day that matters the most! :)
I was introduced to the Hey Lovely at my sister’s wedding and I was so impressed at how I still looked like myself after my hair and make-up was done! It was natural yet I still was nicely glammed up! I knew I needed them for my own wedding. Dee was incredible and patient, especially doing three young ladies with big thick long hair! Thank you so much for beautifying us, Dee!
Erica and team were a joy to work with for my wedding on 9/29/18. They showed up early (!!) and worked their magic for both hair and make-up for myself and my 9 bridesmaids/house party. I wanted minimal make-up, and Erica gave me a very natural, pretty look along with a loose, romantic low bun. I felt fantastic for my wedding, and thought my bridesmaids looked beautiful. It was great to share that Saturday morning with Erica and her team -- the vibe was fun and relaxed as we all got ready for the ceremony together. Highly recommend.
The entire Hey Lovely team is truly top notch! We LOVED working with each them! They handled our large wedding group with ease and true professionalism. Each look was perfect and we had so many compliments from all of our guest. Our entire wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how great our team of Hey Lovely girls were! Thank you Erica, Brenna, Diana and Megan for being a part of our special weekend! You all are exceptionally talented beautiful ladies and we are so happy to call you all friends!
I can't say enough about Hey Lovely and their amazing team! Erica and Dee traveled all the way to Sun Valley, Idaho from Houston for our wedding and I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to them. I'd been to Hey Lovely to have my hair and makeup done for our engagement photos and for a holiday party. I knew I wanted to have them be part of our wedding and Erica was so awesome about working with me to be able to make that happen (& within our budget)! They did an incredible job with my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids and mom/MIL! Plus they did my hair and makeup for our rehearsal dinner which was such a treat. Hey Lovely can do anything you want from natural to glam which was a great fit for me. They're very professional but also so much fun and a joy to work with!! I'm so glad Erica and Dee were part of our big day, I highly recommend them for any event!
I had a wonderful experience with Hey Lovely! Erica is fantastic, she did a wonderful job on my wedding hair and make up and was a pleasure to work with.
The entire experience from trial hair & make up to wedding day hair an make up was very stress free. I truly felt pampered. They did a wonderful job on all of my bridesmaids' hair and my mother and MIL's hair and make up.
My mom has extremely sensitive skin and was quite nervous to get her make up done. She had absolutely no trouble with their make up and looked beautiful!
I am still so over the moon about my makeup for our wedding! Over the course of wedding planning, I had two makeup trials with other artists, and I was really unhappy with both of them. I had pretty much resigned myself to doing my own makeup when our coordinator (Eric Cmar of Cmart Celebrations!) told me that he really recommended Hey Lovely, and I'm so glad he did! Gabrielle did my mom's hair (it looked amazing!) and my makeup. She was so sweet and really committed to making sure my makeup was what I wanted. She showed me how the makeup looked often as she was applying it, and she asked for feedback the entire time, which I appreciated because other trials left me with makeup that I felt was too dark and too heavy. Once Gabrielle was done, I was honestly blown away, I looked EXACTLY how I wanted to look for our wedding, which is basically like myself but better ;) I would really recommend them!!
Hey Lovely is AMAZING! Erica and the Hey Lovely team did hair and makeup for our engagement photos, and then for the wedding for the moms, bridesmaids, and myself. They are so nice and down-to-earth, and made getting ready so fun. We looked like the most glamorous, best versions of ourselves, and the photos turned out amazing! I felt the most beautiful I ever have on my wedding day, and I can't recommend them enough!!!
I don't wear a lot of makeup and I didn't want to look overdone on my wedding day. I saw pictures of Hey Lovely's work from our photographer and decided to look them up. I liked their natural make up style and that it was a Latina-owned business. It was important to us to support this business so we booked them for myself and 13 other ladies that included bridesmaids and family. Everyone looked great and they all really liked their make up. I just got some pictures from our wedding and my make up looked perfect for what I was going for! I am pretty pleased and I know you will be, too. :)
Hands down the best make up artist and hair stylist I have ever worked with! I have been in so many weddings, and Erica and D from Hey Lovely have officially stolen the show. I have always done my own hair and make up for weddings out of fear that the make up artists would over do it, when it came to my big day, everyone encouraged me to get a professional. I have to be honest, when I saw the prices at various wedding beauty vendors, I was a bit overwhelmed, but let me tell you, HEY LOVELY is well worth every dime and more! They are timely, incredibly kind, and absolutely fabulous at what they do. You will not look like a clown (which is what I was always scared of). You will look like yourself accentuated! It’s wonderful. I wish I had them to help me get ready every morning. And did I mention they are a blast to hang out with on the day of your wedding!
Such a wonderful group of women with a true desire to make every bride feel absolutely beautiful ❤️ We worked with Brenna and she was absolutely amazing! Such a heart of gold and very talented! She and Erica went ABOVE AND BEYOND making sure that my bridal look was exactly what I had dreamt of and I couldn't be more grateful. We had lots of laughs together and I truly enjoyed my time with them! The wedding day was fun and relaxed and the girls that came along with Brenna made sure to give each one of my bridesmaids a look that made them feel gorgeous. Wonderful company and would highly recommend!!

Thank you so much! It gives us the most joy to not only make people feel gorgeous, but to take part in such an important day! Our hearts could not be more full reading this <3
Although, they were at times hard to get a hold of, they delivered as promised. My stylist arrived on time the day of to do my hair, MOB and MOH. Our stylist (Jessica) was friendly and so easy to talk to. We were all pleased with how our hair and makeup came out. A side note - I opted out of the trial which I can't say I regret but think carefully about this one depending on what you decide for your hair. I think my hair would have looked best with extensions (something I would have known had I done the trial) even though I already have long hair.
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2017
Thank you so much for the feedback. We want to hear about your experience whether good or bad. Unfortunately and regretfully, we missed the mark regarding timely communication and being available at all times for our special brides. We will do ...
better in the future so thank you for bringing it to our attention. And thank you for mentioning the importance of scheduling a trial first. Our artists are training in both hair and makeup but we are so much more confident going into an appointment when we know our bride (and their hair) beforehand. Again, thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We appreciate it and YOU. Can't wait to see pics.
I am so happy that I went with Hey Lovely for my hair and makeup on my wedding day!
I hardly ever wear makeup, so I was really nervous about looking overly madeup and not like myself. I went with Hey Lovely because the looks on their Instagram and website looked soft, romantic, and understated. Erica did the "no makeup" makeup look on me and it was amazing. I looked just like myself, but better! I couldn't have been happier! She also did an amazing, soft, romantic, side swept hairdo that I loved! It was exactly what I wanted.
We got a call from our wedding venue the day before our wedding and were told that they had to cancel because of Hurricane Harvey. Within an hour, our wedding planning had contacted our vendors and replanned everything for that night. We were so happy that Hey Lovely was able to get there a day early on such short notice. They even made it to the hotel before we did, and were set up and ready to start when we arrived. It was really incredible! They then made me look and feel like the most beautiful person in the world. Erica, Brenna, and Gabby are also the nicest people and chatted away with us the whole time, helping to make me feel calm in the face of the somewhat stressful situation of moving my wedding to a day earlier.
I cannot recommend Hey Lovely enough!! They are fantastic!
Hire Hey Lovely -- it is the best decision you can make! There is no one I would ever recommend above Erica + her team. They are incredibly talented, and we love each and every time we are able to work with them. Whether I am the one sitting in the hair and make-up chair, or it is one of our brides getting dolled up for our wedding day, I know I can expect the absolute best.
We used Hey Lovely for my wedding hair & make up for me and my bridesmaids and they were great! They were very professional and also have a great team. Dee did my hair and make up (bride) and I felt and looked so beautiful; my bridesmaids also looked amazing and were all very happy with the results. Hey Lovely was also accommodative to my schedule for the trial - I live in New York so they worked with me and fit me in when I was in town. The ladies were all so friendly and personable, they helped make the day fun and relaxing for everyone. Highly recommend!
Beautiful!!! Erica did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. She was so personable and easy to work with. The makeup was so natural looking and beautiful. She knew exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!!
Very professional stylist. On time. I haven't seen my pictures yet but she did my hair and makeup like the pictures I showed her. I recommend them.
Hey lovely is absolutely lovely!!! Brenna took care of my hair and makeup and she did an amazing job. I looked flawless and my look lastest through the ceremony and the reception. She took exceptional care of me (even when having a slight meltdown; wedding jitters) and I couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you Brenna and Hey Lovely for helping to make my day so wonderful.
My original review: I felt like because I was getting my makeup done for engagement pictures and not bridal makeup, they didn't put much effort into my makeup. If I'm paying $125 to get my makeup done I think it should be amazing. I left with a crease in my makeup and was told that it's because I need to moisturize. Um what? So they said, "it's ok, it won't show up in your pictures". They tried to "fix" it by putting more concealer on it (which only made it worse). I just want to be treated like it IS my wedding day and have my makeup look decent.
After writing an honest review and only giving 2 stars I was contacted via phone call to ask me why I was upset with their services and why I wrote a bad review. After asking if I was speaking with the girl who did my makeup, she says to me, "Im actually the owner of Hey Lovely, Erica. I'm the one who did your makeup. I thought it looked flawless". Come to find out the company has photos of their staff on their website. The girl who did my makeup was in fact not Erica the owner, but actually a girl named Brenna (who was claiming to be Erica over the phone). Had I been approached differently and not antagonized for voicing my opinion, I may have taken the review down and given them a chance to do makeup on my wedding day. However, now that I know I'm being lied to on the phone, I have no desire to work with this company. Hopefully this review will help brides in the near future.

Shelbie --
We're so sorry about your unfortunate experience. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark. We truly DO appreciate all feedback and always want to understand how we can impr...
ove. I’d like to comment on your points.
1. RE: applying eyeshadow too quickly and the crease in your skin
Artistically, we strive for symmetry and not speed -- this part of the process usually is fairly quick. Brenna buffed out the excess airbrush formula (with a brush) and instead used a foundation (not concealer) since it offered a little more flexibility with your skin type.
2. RE: Emails and Communication
Your proposal/service agreement dated and signed on 1/29/17 specified an appointment time of 2PM and you agreed to begin at 1:30. On 3/6 you expressed concerns about being ready too early so we accommodated your request and moved you to 3:30. On 3/9 you confirmed that time worked much better for you and expressed thanks.
3. Re: Moisturizer
Artists always make recommendations to our clients based on their individual needs — it’s another step we take in customizing our clients services. When you apply makeup to very dry and cracked skin, it often tends to crease so we wanted to let you know how you could easily remedy this situation in the future. Sharing tips and tricks to clients is something we love to do and will continue doing. We certainly did not mean to offend you by sharing these tips, including moisturizing.
Maintaining our integrity, reputation and mission to make every client feel lovely is of utmost importance. When I received your first review, I immediately wanted to hear about your issues with us and hoped to resolve the matter. After your second review, I feel it warranted clarification since our integrity was questioned publicly. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can do for you.

Hey Lovely was absolutely amazing! I have never felt prettier than I did on my wedding day. The makeup is gorgeous and they use airbrush so it stays on all day. And it looks so natural, not caked on!
I was always able to get a hold of someone quickly leading up to the wedding. The staff is professional and showed up early on the wedding day which was a major stress reliever!

Thank you so much for your review! We love to receive feedback and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I had Dee (makeup) and Delia (hair) do myself, 3 bridesmaids, and my mother for my wedding. They did a fantastic job! Dee did my trial which was super helpful and made suggestions and recommendations, because I typically have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to hair and makeup! She came up with the perfect image for my wedding day that she was able to replicate for the day of!
There was a slight misunderstanding on the start time, I had a coordinator and I am not sure where it was lost, but we had plenty of buffer time and there were zero issues! They were able to get everything done with time to spare and everyone looked beautiful.

We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We always allow extra cushion time for our bride's timeline so that we finish on time & without incident. We're happy you had zero issues with us & we can't wait to see your wedding photos!
Hey Lovely did such a great job with the hair and make-up for our bridal party. They came onsite, arrived on time and did the hair and make-up for my entire bridal party and mothers of the bride and groom and kept us on schedule. My hair and make-up came out beautifully and held for the entire day and evening!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services. We're so happy you had a positive experience. Can't wait to see your beautiful photos!
The hey lovely makeup artists were amazing! I used Jess for my engagement photos, bridals and wedding and was happy every time. My bridesmaids were also really happy with their wedding day makeup and I highly recommend the team!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Hey Lovely. It means so much to have a bride feel her loveliest on such a big day! I'm so glad you loved everything. -Jess
Erica and all the Hey Lovely girls are a dream to work with! I met Erica while Maid of Honor in my sister's wedding and I knew then that she would HAVE to do the hair and makeup for me and my girls on our wedding day. They are the sweetest, kind and most genuine people to work with. She is a big believer in highlighting and enhancing your natural beauty, which was exactly what I was looking for in my bridal look! She was super flexible when it came to trials and other sessions I set up with her. Their new location is a great spot in Houston, not too far away from anything. There are not enough words to describe my happiness in my choice with Erica and Hey Lovely!
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2017
You are too kind!!! Thank you SO much for taking the time to review Hey Lovely. We're all in love with our jobs because of sweet people like you. I'm so glad you loved everything! -Erica
Hey Lovely was amazing from start to finish. I had a 8 bridesmaids so there was a lot of fuss (and some downright rude from my 'maids) in the room when we were getting ready and Sara and Jess handled it with such grace and professionalism. Their work was STUNNING and held up through Houston weather (it rained, was sunny, was cold, and was humid within the hour of the ceremony time and photos - oh, Texas). I actually tested Jess' skills after my trail by going for a run and to boxing in July. They TOTALLY held up and looked near flawless. I am just so very pleased with everything and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and make-up wizards!
Hey Lovely did an amazing job on me and my girls! We had Kelsey and Alex doing our hair and makeup. They were so sweet and truly could not have done a better job. They were punctual and moved through each girl like clockwork. We ended up finishing right on time!
I've been in weddings where bridesmaids end up with hair or makeup they're unhappy with and it really is so disappointing when you're spending a lot of money and want to look nice in pictures. I wanted all of my girls to feel beautiful and look the way they wanted to and Hey Lovely made that happen!
I also wanted to feel like myself on my wedding day which is sometimes hard when you have more makeup on than you're use to. On the day of, I really felt like the most beautiful version of myself and I could not be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out in pictures!
We loved working with Erica, Kiersten, and the rest of the Hey Lovely girls! I contacted them 10 months before my wedding for engagement pictures and was surprised to hear they were nearly booked for my wedding date! I quickly booked hair & makeup for myself and my wedding party of 14 for the wedding day. I scheduled the trial to coordinate with my bridal portraits and it went really well! Loved hanging out with them. I had a couple slight changes to my makeup and hair for the wedding day and they got them both exactly right. It was so easy to have them at our house as we all got ready and made the morning stress-free! Erica even stayed a little late on the wedding day to help with one more round of touch ups before we headed to the church. Most of my bridesmaids don't wear much makeup but we all loved how Hey Lovely fixed our hair and makeup!
Hey Lovely is absolutely amazing!! You will look absolutely beautiful on your day if you go with them! Erica and Dee are so fun and will make getting ready totally stress-free. I hired them to do my hair and makeup and also for my bridesmaids, and getting ready was a blast with all the girls actually loving how they looked!! So many of my friends had had bad experiences with past hair and makeup wedding peeps, but Hey Lovely made all of them feel and look gorgeous!! They use excellent products that feel effortless on your face. I feel like Hey Lovely could pull off any style - but their go to is a classic, dewy, effortless look that looks great on everybody! My mom couldn't stop raving about how gorgeous everyone looked and how happy and confident they seemed getting ready! It made the day so special! You will not regret going with Hey Lovely!
Hey Lovely is the best in town! I hired Hey Lovely for my wedding makeup after several friends and professionals recommended them. They were easy to work with and whenever I needed to add makeup artists a few weeks in advance, they were able to accommodate. My wedding was at 11am so I was really worried about getting hair and makeup for 9 girls, including myself, done before 10am. I had three makeup artist from Hey Lovely and they were on time, efficient, and even ran ahead of my schedule. They did EXCELLENT work, all three artists. I cannot recommend them enough. I even had Erica do my makeup for a bridal shower and the rehearsal dinner as "trial runs" and those went smoothly as well. I love that they use Honey Book to secure payment and send reminder invoices. It kept me organized and there was no worry of having to deal with cash the day of the wedding. Everyone was paid up in advance and that took a lot of stress off of me to make sure everyone had paid for their services. Whew-what a breeze and honor to work with them on my big day!

so grateful for your kind words. Thank you so much!
Jess, Kelsey & Erica
I was planning my wedding from outside of the US so picking vendors was a challenge. I found Hey Lovely based on their Instagram photos and their professional website and couldn't be happier. My wedding was on May 14th in Montgomery, TX and Erica and April made sure my mother and mother in law, I and all of my wedding party looked amazing. They were both so sweet to work with and made sure everyone looked exactly how they wanted to. I loved my makeup and the service and would highly recommend Hey Lovely! Thank you!!

I booked Hey Lovely for my wedding day in November and LOVED everything they did! I had them do my make-up, my bridesmaids, house party, my mom and my MIL. Everyone was happy with how their make-up turned out and they all looked so beautiful! I did not have a trial run done before the wedding day but i had seen Erica's work before and knew i was in great hands. She listened to the few specifics i requested and then took it from there. There was not 1 thing about my make-up that i would have changed, I loved everything about it!! (i didn't even want to take it off at the end of the night! lol) I found Hey Lovely through a friend, who booked them for her wedding and I am sooooo happy she referred them. Erica and her team are some of the sweetest,fun,down to earth people and it just felt like we were all old friends having a make-up party. I am actually a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding for one of my friends (who was a bridesmaid for me) in April. She also hired Hey Lovely and i look forward to seeing Erica and her crew again!
Hey Lovely did an amazing job with wedding day hair and makeup for myself and my girls!! Erica, Kelsey, and their team were professional, courteous, organized, and extremely talented! I am so grateful for the beautiful work they did, we all looked fantastic! They listened intently to what I wanted, and delivered!
My experience with Hey Lovely was so great! Aleya did my makeup for my engagement photos and then again for my wedding and I felt so beautiful for both! Erica and the girls came to the rescue on the day of the wedding and brought an extra artist to help with all my bridesmaids hair and makeup. The whole experience was so great and I can't wait to use Hey Lovely for future events. Highly highly recommend!
I hired Hey Lovely for a gala and they were amazing! Erica and Kelsey made me and my friends look absolutely perfect! Everyone complemented how amazing we all looked. Highly recommended, will call them again! Thank you ladies!! xoxo
I have to say...having Hey Lovely do my makeup and hair for my wedding has been the best choice. They are amazing and wonderful!! Super talented and professional. I totally recommend them.

Thank you very much for your kind review -- we appreciate it very much!
Hey Lovely will be doing my wedding day hair and makeup, as well as my moms, and a few friends. I have had one trial run a few weeks ago and it went great. My Stylist listened to what i wanted and didn't let her own ideas and preferences of makeup get in the way of making my vision come true. They have been sweet, and are quick to respond to my questions and concerns! I definitely recommend Hey Lovely for your BIG DAY!!
First, my hair and make-up looked amazing! I ended up changing both my hair and make-up from my trial and I sent a picture of the hair and make-up I wanted beforehand, and the artists were able to nail it. The make-up they did on my bridesmaids was exceptional. One of my bridesmaids was hesitant to get her make-up done because she's very picky and "usually ends up fixing it with her own make-up" that was not the case on my wedding day! She looked stunning. I asked for contouring and they did just that.
A week and a half before my wedding, I talk with "Hey Lovely" for makeup and styling for 3 of my wedding guests. Thanks God I do not hire this company for my own bride makeup and hair style ... because they had turn my Big day into my worst nightmare! 1. We set to come to my house for start make up and hairstyle at 9:00 am (this was more than discussed and confirmed!) The lady got to my house at 10.15 am (an hour later!) The stylist never came! 2. The makeup artist was super nervous and the 3 makeup done, left much to be desired, they were very basic and poor! really did not seem a makeup from $ 100. The company returned the money we had paid for the hair (of course... the hair stylist never arrive!) It was the worst experience for me and my outside country guests.. the delay and the unprofessional work. If you do not want to be nervous on your wedding day: Do not hire this company!

Though you we were not an actual Hey Lovely Bride, we thank you so much for taking the time to review Hey Lovely anyway. We thought your guests looked lovely and they did not give us any indication otherwise. We truly believe in our artistic c...
apability and we're disappointed you did not feel the same, however we always value hearing others' opinions.
Hey Lovely Makeup perfectly created what I had imagined for my Bridal Portraits! They took the pictures and thoughts I had sent as inspiration and did exactly what I had hoped for - if not better! :) The entire experience was enjoyable. Erica and Kelsey were extremely accommodating, professional and kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2017
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate it so much!
Kelsey was my hair and make up artist. I love how I still looked like myself (but better) during my wedding. I do not wear make up on a regular basis and was apprehensive that I would look different on my wedding day but Kelsey did a great job in keeping it simple yet radiant. Just how I wanted it to be. Great service! Highly recommended!
Absolute professionals. Booking Hey Lovely was a no-brainer since family and friends have all used them for galas, etc. They were super accommodating for my trial preview, took my vision and executed it flawlessly. I'd gladly recommend them to anyone needing a team of true artists. They brought great energy to my wedding day while keeping me calm and stress free.
I booked Hey Love as soon as I became engaged and I’m SO happy I did. I was a bit apprehensive regarding my makeup as I tend to have problematic, sensitive skin. They were very quick to answer my emails and phone calls about the entire process. At my trial consult (which I used for my bridal portraits) my worries were put to rest. Both Dee and Erica made it a very positive experience and answered many of my questions (especially about product ingredients). On my wedding day, both of them arrived early and were very professional and so much fun to be around-they definitely calmed the nerves. I wanted a completely different look from my bridal portraits at the last minute and they adapted to my new requests without hesitation. I had a small wedding party (just sisters and my mother) but I still felt that they took the extra time to make sure that everything was perfect and that each one of us was satisfied with both hair and makeup. The airbrush make up was amazing and I have never felt more beautiful! Even with full coverage, it didn’t feel the least bit cakey. I got married outside by the water, went inside, danced all night long and still never required a touch up. Weddings are so stressful but working with Hey Lovely Makeup before the big walk was a perfect time for everyone, especially myself, to relax and be transformed into a beautiful woman. I would definitely recommend them to any of my family or friends for any special occasion.
I had the best time ever working with Hey Lovely for my wedding day! The team, Erica, Dee and Shae, arrived right on time and were super time-oriented and organized throughout the time they spent with us. My bridal party and I had a blast hanging out with them while we were waiting for the greatest event ever to take place! :) The airbrush makeup felt wonderful and it all lasted a really long time, too. Since I was the bride, I ended up crying so many happy tears during the wedding and my makeup still looked flawless even the next day. They're very accommodating and will listen to what you want. Erica actually did my bridal makeup and hair, too, and the end product was just about perfection :) Hey Lovely really helped make my special day a dream come true and I highly recommend them to anyone!
My bridal party and I used Hey Lovely for wedding day hair and makeup. As each one of my girls got all done-up I couldn't believe how beautiful they all looked...and to be honest it made me nervous because I didn't want my bridesmaids to look better than me on my wedding day!! But of course, Erica and Dee worked their magic on me, too. I looked better than I had envisioned! When I saw myself in the mirror afterwards, I actually started crying because I never thought I could look so beautiful. I've never gotten so many wonderful comments and inquiries about my hair/makeup. I will absolutely, definitely be recommending Hey Lovely to all of my friends for any special occasion. I'm so thankful to Erica and Dee for everything they did to beautify my wedding day :) You will be, too!!

Claire,
To this day, we can't think of a more touching moment than when you saw yourself, teared up and said, "I'm so beautiful!". Thank you so much for your sweet words -- they mean the world to us.
Dee & Erica
I loved how my hair and makeup turned out. I wanted a soft and natural low up-do and natural makeup. My trial left me a little weary, as I left looking a little too done up and my hair was a little too high, but the day of I went to Erica and Dee with my thoughts and they executed my new requests perfectly. At least the trial was a great time to get to know each other and get relaxed! My BMs hair was kind of eh, mostly because they all wore theirs down and it was a windy, rainy day. I felt like theirs could have stood up to the weather a bit better, but overall everyone looked fabulous and the girls were so nice.
I absolutely loved my hair and makeup on my wedding day! Erica made changes from my trial with no problems as did D for my hair- I asked her the day of the wedding for a change in the style and I could not have been happier with the way my hair looked on the wedding day! Erica was a little hard to get in contact with at the very beginning but after that it wasn't any trouble! all of my bridesmaids hair and makeup looked awesome also!
