Luna Belle Beauty

Morgan did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. She was awesome with my trial as well. I didn’t want to feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup, I’m more of a natural girl and she made me feel beautiful without looking like someone else. I took off one star because the communication with whoever manages the stylists was a little difficult/confusing. I honestly think it just might have been a new girl and there’s a training opportunity for her to be a bit more thorough. I would definitely work with this company again though!

This review is for the company as a whole. If the owner reads this, I would like them to reach out to me to discuss my experience. I was unable to get a hold of anyone to get in contact with someone other than the admin person. Administration Side ⭐ Overall, the whole experience left me frustrated and anxious. They lacked communication, follow-through, and customer service. In short, after I signed a contract, it took a month of exchanging 20 emails to get anything scheduled/confirmed. This included me requesting 3x's for available dates and times for a trial, and sending 3 follow-up emails after a 3-5 day wait for a response from the company (not including the weekends). I also had an issue with not receiving the invoice in a timely manner. They did not request a deposit once my wedding date was reserved, nor did they provide me an invoice with the remaining balance 15 days prior to my event. Rather, I received the full invoice through an email at 9:00am and a 1:00pm reminder that payment was due THAT day 10 days prior to my event. Note: My original artist had a family emergency. This may have impacted the admin's ability to schedule things in advance, but I do not accept this as an excuse. I was left hanging and left wondering 90% of the time. Hair & Makeup Artist ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Morgan was great. For not having a trail with me, she made me feel/look beautiful. I showed her some inspirational photos and she did well replicating the looks. I appreciate her for agreeing to come last minute to be there for my day.

The artists were exceptional! They were timely, professional. They really listened to what each girl wanted and made sure it was executed to accomplish the vision. In comparison to the other vendors we hired for our wedding the administrative side of the business was a little more difficult to deal with and not as warm as others that we hired.There was issue with settling contracts/scheduling because they kept getting number of services we needed incorrect. But after some back and forth, they got everything sorted out. They took quite a while to respond to emails, which can be frustrating when you are trying to plan such a big event - again, this was in comparison to all the other vendors who I hired for our wedding who were quite responsive and seemed happy to work with us/welcomed our business. With these issues, I was worried about the quality of the artists but they were wonderful and exceeded expectations!

I had the best experience with Luna Belle Beauty. I had Tallie for hair, and Richelle for makeup. Tallie made my hair vision come to life! The wedding jitters hit me right after Richelle started doing my makeup and she not only made me feel beautiful, but she helped ease all of my nerves! Both ladies were such a pleasure to work with and provided a fantastic service! I felt amazing about my finished look and it was all thanks to these amazing ladies!!

We had a bride with an unusual request to do a few services in the middle of the woods. Luna Belle absolutely delivered with grace and humor they made getting ready a blast and the results were on point. Highly recommended and professional services.

Keema did a beautiful job on my hair & makeup for my wedding day. I would recommend Luna Belle Beauty!

I hired Luna Belle for HAMU for me, 8 bridesmaids and 2 moms for my wedding day! Overall my experience with them was amazing! They listened to exactly what we wanted, they were on time and stuck to the schedule (even a little bit ahead) and they were so FUN! They helped me get rid of my wedding nerves by talking and laughing with us the whole time! THANK YOU all for helping us feel so beautiful on such a special day!

Luna Belle was amazing to work with, my hair and makeup lasted all night and the artists I got were very attentive. I knew what I wanted and they delivered. I can’t recommend this glam team enough.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! Shana and her extended team were so professional and really just lovely to work with. From the beginning, the Luna belle team was communicative and helped us understand the process. The way that Shana did my hair and make up was SO spot on. She was able to do a natural, dewey look with a beautiful low bun. All of the other artists were great as well! My wedding party were all extremely happy with how their hair and makeup came out. I would recommend Luna Belle to all brides and their bridal party!

I absolutely loved my artists Richelle and Keema. They both did an incredible job on my big day! On the makeup, I was a little nervous going into it as I have worked with artists in the past who have had difficulty with Asian eye shapes, but Richelle did not disappoint. She did an amazing job on my eye makeup (and everything else) as well as for the other Asian ladies in my bridal party. My makeup looked natural and seamless, and I felt beautiful. Hair was also amazing! Each of my bridesmaids wanted a different hairstyle and Keema did a great job effortlessly delivering on the variety of requests from natural-looking, loose curls to more intricate, braided up-dos. Overall, I was just really impressed with how skilled they both were. In fact, several of my bridesmaids said this was some of the best professional hair and makeup they'd ever received. AND we finished ahead of schedule!!! Just as important, Richelle and Keema were also just super awesome to be around...professional yet fun, easygoing and fit right in with my bridal party. I highly recommend going with Luna Belle and consider yourself lucky if you get Richelle or Keema!

The ladies at Luna Belle Beauty exceeded my expectations! I was nervous at first because I did not schedule a bridal trial appointment prior to my wedding day, but the ladies quickly made me feel comfortable and I knew then I was in good hands! They requested a picture of what I envision my hair and makeup to be prior to my wedding day so when the ladies arrived they already had the necessary tools and makeup needed - it was super helpful for me too as it forced me to pick one look that I absolutely loved. The girls were also so nice and it did not even feel like they worked on my hair and makeup for almost 3 hours. They would check in on how I was feeling or what I thought during the entire process to ensure the end result was what I was hoping for. They were a wonderful addition to my special day and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Would highly recommend!

I hired LBB for my Elopement day at Lake Tahoe. Morgan did our hair and makeup, for myself and my best friend-witness. I sent a moodboard with hairstyle and makeup inspiration in advance and I truly believe Morgan nailed it. I felt so beautiful! And pictures look amazing. Morgan was also very nice. She had such a positive energy that what could’ve been a nervous morning was a relaxed and joyful time. I’m so thankful for her artistry and her great vibe. Thanks again.

Dear Luna Belle team, I just want to give a BIG shoutout to the girls that helped my bridesmaids and I get ready for my special day! I got married November 12, 2022 at Resort at Squaw creek in North Lake Tahoe. (Destination wedding) What was suppose to be a fall wedding turned into a winter snow storm wedding, needless to say it was BEAUTIFUL! Despite the weather conditions, everyone did an amazing job making this wedding one to remember! It literally reminded me of a snow globe, or a hallmark movie. I want to give a HUGE shoutout to our hairstylist, Nicolle. who did an AMAZING work on myself (the bride) my bridesmaids, moms and flower girl hair!!! She was super sweet and so fun and easy to work with and talk to, she knows her stuff! I can’t thank her enough for rocking it in this snow globe of a wedding, we appreciate it and highly recommend her! I also, would love to give a HUGE shoutout to our wonderful makeup artist Shannon. She killed it doing all of my girls makeup, myself included! She was so sweet and really took the time to make sure we all looked beautiful for this special day! I had airbrush makeup, and I will say I was really impressed with it, especially since I had never had it done. She did a fantastic job and can’t thank her enough as well for sticking it through this snowglobe of a wedding day! Can’t wait for our pictures to come out, so I can share the talent that Nicolle & Shannon have and so everyone can see what A-M-A-Z-I-N-G work they can do! THANK YOU LADIES SO MUCH AND THE LUNA BELLE TEAM!!! Sarah Merritt Lloyd

Tallie and Sydney from Luna Belle were an incredible makeup and hair team to work with! We had a blast getting to know each other throughout the day and they outdid themselves making us feel beautiful, nailing the individual looks we all wanted, and sticking to the timeline. Tallie even made time to give my mom a few hair flips :) Thank you Luna Belle for a seamless experience working with your team for my big day!

Fernanda and Richelle were great! I last minute asked if they could come earlier so I could do a first look and although they couldn’t promise anything, they were able to do so. They were quick, but not so quick that I felt rushed or didn’t enjoy the service. Everything turned out great and they were super friendly. I used them for bridal hair and make up and hair/makeup for a few family members. I recommend them!

100% recommending Luna Belle Beauty for your special occasion. We are from Las Vegas and chose Lake Tahoe for our destination wedding. I was nervous about planning for hair and makeup from such a distance but Luna Belle Beauty couldn't have made it easier. I was impressed with how quickly I received email responses no matter how big or small my question or concern. I have to mention that I flew in for my trial and had to make a last minute change to the salon location due to transportation issues and they were very accommodating. The artists we worked with, Alajai (hair) and Sydney (makeup), were absolutely phenomenal. My bridal party was so happy with their results, everyone looked so beautiful. If you want reliability, professionalism, experience, and beautiful results, you will be just as happy as we were with Luna Belle Beauty. Thank you for helping make our special day so great!

I loved working with Luna Belle Beauty. Lauren did all of our make up so well and we all LOVED it. I was so worried about getting my make up done without a trial, but she really couldn't have done better. Tallie also did my sister and I's hair and we both loved it and it stayed for the whole day. We really loved both and would absolutely recommend Luna Belle Beauty to anyone looking for make up and hair on their wedding day.

Luna Belle did such a wonderful job for both me and my bridesmaids! The trial was super helpful and they truly listened to what we wanted. They made us feel so special and taken care of. They listened to all of our different styles and needs. I truly love their boho esthetic and they made us feel super natural and beautiful! I couldn't say nicer things about the whole Luna Belle experience. So thankful I found them!

I loved my wedding hair and makeup! The whole team was very accommodating and helpful with any questions I had, and responded to emails very quickly. Nicole and Shannon were so fun while still being professional! Those two made my day absolutely perfect.

I had a wonderful experience with Luna Belle. I am located in the Bay Area but I got married north of Tahoe. The team worked with me to find a time to do my trial in a more convenient location and took detailed notes to share with the artists that worked me day of. All of the artists were so kind and caring. They listened to what I had to say and worked hard to make sure I was happy. Melony, my hairstylist the day of, even helped me get into my wedding dress! I highly recommend Luna Belle. I would definitely book with them again.

I used Luna Belle for both my engagement photo session and wedding day and they were fantastic for both hair and makeup services. My bridal party also loved the hair and makeup services they received for our wedding. Highly recommend!

Our wedding was June 11 at Winters Creek Lodge, and Luna Belle Beauty did an absolutely wonderful job! Not only at the event, but in the months leading up to the event. We had a shorter engagement (6 months) and it was tough to find someone on short notice. I wanted to treat my bridal party, my mom, aunt, and mother-in-law to makeup, so there were a lot of people. Julie, who helped me book for my event, helped me over the phone and extensively helped explain what I needed (I was very new at this). I truly appreciate the amount of time and effort she took understanding my needs. At the time, I was frustrated as another makeup artist company fell through, and was so relieved to be dealing with such a professional here. Julie was also very prompt over email every single time a question came up, it was extremely helpful! At the time of my trial, my makeup artist, Kristina, was so kind and fun! I never wear a lot of makeup, and she was reassuring and helpful explaining every step and product used. Also, she followed the look I picked out to perfection! I loved it. When I noticed that the liner ran a little during the day of the trial, I reached out and she said she would use a different product on the day. She was extremely helpful in using this as true experimentation for the day, encouraging me to sweat, kiss, etc. just like the wedding day. She also gave lots of tips for skin care for the month leading up to the day, and it was so useful!! On the day, we had Kristina again and Richelle. They were early and eager! For my mom, aunt, and mother-in-law (who never wear makeup), they did very light makeup and followed their instructions exactly, which I appreciate. For the bridal party, they made everyone happy and look gorgeous! They kept the mood up and everyone having fun, I could not have asked for a better day! I felt fabulous and gorgeous all day. Thank you again!! We can’t say thank you enough for making our day special.

Amazing makeup (Nancy M.) and hair stylists (Laura H.). I was nervous and wanted to keep things natural, messy and boho-ish. They met all my expectations. Arrived on time, super friendly and always asked my opinion about how I was feeling. Hair stylist Laura, called to speak with me beforehand and discussed hairstyles with photos back and forth over text. Loved them both.

I got married in beautiful Lake Tahoe and these three gals, hair/makeup/spray tan, were so accommodating and wonderful to work with. They made my bridal party and myself look and feel gorgeous. They made it easy to coordinate and even switching location last minute due to issues with air bnb’s wasn’t an issue at all. It was nice not to worry about one thing during my bridal prep! Thanks gals! 🫶🏼💕😭🙏🏻

Luna Belle Beauty was amazing to work with. Julie (the wedding coordinator) was so helpful in making sure I was able to do a hair and make-up trial when I was in town for a weekend, as well as set up all my bridesmaids who needed hair and make-up. Shannon (my make-up artist) was very helpful in texting me what I needed to buy for retouching my make-up. I showed her photos of what I wanted and she made me look so beautiful on my wedding day. Melony (my hairstylist) was very talented. I showed her a video of how I wanted to do my hair and she just did it flawlessly and even better than I expected. I had her stay a few more hours to do a hair change and she would retouch me whenever needed (since it was raining that day). Luna Belle Beauty team was a joy to work with and I can't thank them enough for making me and bridesmaids beautiful on such a special day.

Luna Belle did hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. They were easy and convenient to work with. Sydney did our makeup and Nicole did hair. Both were knowledgeable, did great work, and were friendly and fun. They did a great job and I'd recommend them for your big day

I could not have been happier with Laura and Sydney! Not only were they both kind, fun and sweet but they also did the best work and made all of our hair and makeup dreams come true! There were 5 of us including me (the bride!) and we were all so happy with the beautiful results.

Kristina did make-up for my engagement shoot, my bridal trial, and my wedding! She is an amazing soul and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I felt listened to and like she understood my vision on each occasion - even when I completely changed my mind the day of the wedding from what we had decided on in the trial! The Luna Belle team was incredibly easy to work with and was so flexible throughout the process. I'd absolutely recommend working with them for any of your beauty needs!

We had a small wedding in Yosemite with our parents and siblings. Nancy and her hair partner traveled to our airbnb in the park to do hair and makeup for me and the other women (6 people total) and we had such a wonderful experience. Very nice, welcoming, and professional. My mother was beaming. I would definitely recommend!

Nicole and Shannon were absolutely wonderful!! They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. They listened to everything I wanted and helped make me look stunning with a look that lasted all night! They were also incredibly flexible when we had to change our venue last minute because of the Caldor fire. I am so happy they were apart of my day.

Nancy and Keema did my hair and makeup. They were both kind and fun to talk to while they were working on my hair and face. However, I did felt like they both were rushing to get things done. I mean no one ever did my make up and hair before in about 1.5 hrs total. It usually takes at least 1 hr to do just hair. My hair are very thick and heavy and Keema should have taken that into consideration because my hairstyle literally fell apart after about one hour into my wedding, one reason being that was simply not enough hair pins. Thankfully my coordinator used to be a hairstylist so she was able to fix my hair, but I really was a bit disappointed and did not expect that from happening for the price I paid. Plus that took away about 20 minutes from my wedding. Then, it was nerve wracking when Nancy forgot styling products for my groom hairstyle that we also paid for. Overall I don't know if the total cost of service is honestly was worth it for the results I got.

The appointed hair and makeup team that helped me on my big day were so fantastic! They came up to our very secluded hard to find cabin. Shannon worked wonders on my makeup and provided a look just as I asked for. Tallie did the most beautiful updo just as I hoped and it stayed very secure through the whole day! Felt like an absolute princess thanks to them and they were very easy to chat with and made it a really fun experience! Would highly recommend.

Nancy and Keema were incredible to work with. Not only did it feel like I was hanging out with my girlfriends, but they nailed it with my makeup and hair. I started off with a trial run which produced absolutely beautiful work! I tried on my dress after my trial run and realized it wasn't what I was envisioning together. They took my notes/ thoughts from that to ensure my wedding day was perfect! It was more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Nancy and Keema, for everything! Y'all are truly something special.

I can start with this - I am not a makeup girl. I do love looking made-up but was nervous about getting makeup done on my wedding day. Nancy exceded any expectation of what I makeup artist is capable of. She made me feel like a princess without globbing on cheap eyelashes and purple eyeshadow. I felt like I was fresh out of the beach, but like my makeup actually stayed on after leaving the water, it was perfection. Keema did my hair and she and I actually scheduled a hair cut and die before the wedding. She calmed my nerves and helped talked me through right before walking down the aisle. 10/10 would recommend Nancy Rice and her crew!

I recently got married in Reno. The wedding was planned very last minute but we were so fortunate to find Nancy. She did hair and makeup for my daughter and myself. She was super cool to hang out with and did an AMAZING job meeting our different requests. She made us feel absolutely beautiful! Now I just need to think of another excuse to have Nancy make us up!!

Nancy and Tara got me ready for my big day, and I couldn’t have asked for better ladies for the job. Being in a different state, and using people you don’t know personally and know people who’ve used them can be scary but they made me and my family feel so comfortable, I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. I told them my ideas and what I wanted and they took them and ran with them! Absolutely amazing, talented ladies! I received so many compliments on my hair and make up and felt like a million bucks on my big day!

Artists all listened carefully and customized makeup for the wants of all of the maids and myself. They did an amazing job with my hair -- I have an undercut on one side and wanted a warrior braid along the shaved edge but really did not know how to explain what I wanted. They nailed it and gave me a perfect glamorous but edgey do. Make up was also on point and looked natural and awesome even in the bright sun on the mountain at the venue location. They were right on time, super friendly, and did an excellent job. I could not be happier with my choice.

Nancy and Tara came to Nakoma Resort to do hair and makeup of the wedding party! They were a delight and fit right in with our group! They understood exactly what we wanted and we were all overjoyed at the finished looks! We would highly recommend them!

Nancy is a beautiful makeup artist and gave me the perfect look for my wedding day. She is organized and professional and so good at what she does! We exchanged a couple emails before my wedding day and I showed her a few pictures of the look I was going for and she made it happen for me! Nancy used great products and she was super easy to work with. The makeup lasted without smudging or running and I felt so beautiful all night! If you are in the Reno/Tahoe area I highly recommend Nancy Rice Artistry!

Nancy (make-up) and Annie (hair) really made me feel beautiful for my wedding. They were calm, patient, and worked with me through some different looks. Nancy was great to communicate with leading up to trial and wedding, and helped me understand best options for my budget.

Tara and Sydney did an absolute amazing job, on our hair and makeup! They were so much fun to be around, and chat with, and really did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Nancy and Annie were seriously AMAZING!! My make up was exactly what I wanted and same goes with my hair. They were so relaxing to sit and get pretty with during the overly hectic day! Would 100% reccomend!

Nancy and her team did an amazing job with my wedding look. My hair and makeup were everything I asked for. They were professional and easy to get along with. The fact that they traveled to me made it very convenient and stress free. It was a very relaxed day getting pampered and made-up. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Nancy and her team were amazing! I was absolutely in love with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Because my husband and I don't live in the Tahoe area, I was unable to make the trip from San Francisco to do a trial prior to the wedding week, so she was able to fit me in the day before our wedding for a trial, so I looked great for my rehearsal dinner and welcome party! The trial ended up being great because although they did a beautiful job, it helped me to realize what I really wanted and didn't want on my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, they did my mom, my bridesmaids, and my hair and makeup flawlessly and were so much fun to work with! I can't recommend Nancy Rice Artistry enough!

I recently had my makeup done for a friends wedding by one of Nancy’s ladies named Shannon Pulley! She fit me in last minute and was extremely kind and did such an amazing job! I loved how the air brush makeup turned out and would definitely get it done again!

Nancy uses top quality make up products that last for many hours. The make up she did for me in the morning lasted all the way until the next morning, and it still looked nearly perfect. I would definitely recommend getting your hair and make up done by the ladies at Nancy Rice Artistry because they take the time to plan with you before big event. She even had me send her a photo of my face so that she can tell me a good color pallet to use for my make up. I sent her photos of what I would like to look like on my wedding day, and not only did she execute it perfectly, but she customized the colors to what would look best on me. The ladies at Nancy Rice Artistry are super talented, easy going, and genuine. I would definitely get my hair and make up done by them again.

The ladies at Nancy Rice Artistry were amazing on my wedding day!! All of my bridesmaids and I were super happy with the looks of our hair and makeup. We felt very comfortable and had a perfect relaxed morning getting ready together! Our makeup looked perfect in our professional photos as well. Thanks again!!

Nancy was the calm before the storm on my wedding day-just what I needed. Her positivity, confidence and peaceful demeanor were apparent from the first time I met her. I am so thankful that she was a part of my big day and that the stars aligned for us to collaborate. From the start, Nancy truly listened to what I envisioned for my wedding. She was easy to get a hold of and we corresponded via email about what aesthetic I was looking for. She asked for images to help her pinpoint what I envisioned as well as asked for details about my wedding. She really wanted to tie everything all together. I had two previous makeup trials before I met Nancy, needless to say I was unhappy and feeling frustrated that I may not find what I was hoping for. Nancy changed everything and she made the experience a pleasant one. Nancy made me feel and look so beautiful on my wedding day. She also did my mother’s makeup and I could not believe the transformation! I truly had never seen my mom look so vibrant and beautiful. She was beaming! Nancy really is an artist and is passionate about her craft. While she listened to what I asked for, she expertly guided me to try new things and explained why she’d suggest her ideas over mine. She knows what photographs well, what features to play up and what will last. She even gave me a cute little touch up kit for after the ceremony! 8 years later, I am proud to say that I have had Nancy do makeup for my sister’s prom, referred her to friends and have had her do my maternity photo/baby shower makeup! She has taught me so much over the years, and because of her, I have learned some tricks and changed up my routine and products.

Loved the makeup that Nancy did! I’m usually quite picky about how my makeup is done and Nancy did a great job. Not only was she professional but she was also was friendly and warm. Would highly recommend her!

I’m always so particular about getting my make up done, but Nancy not only made me feel understood, but extremely beautiful. I didn’t feel over done, but I felt like she enhanced my beauty. I felt the most gorgeous I’ve ever felt. Nancy and her team are very professional, they have great communication, they are just incredible. All my bridesmaids LOVEd their makeup and hair. My husband was blown away. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
