Loved my wedding day hair and makeup! Husband and I had an elope-y wedding so I didn’t do any type of trial look and only decided on my hair style that morning - they were communicative throughout the whole process and made me feel taken care of and relaxed!

I had my wedding day yesterday and couldn't be more happy with how everyone's hair and makeup turned out! Every single bridesmaid was absolutely in love with how it tuned out, and their hair and makeup lasted the whole day! Nobody needed any touchups throughout the night because everything held so perfectly. As a bride, Judy and Beth did such an amazing job and gave me the exact look I wanted. I would 100% recommend Madame Makeup!

Wasn’t too big of a fan of my bridal hairdo with Beth unfortunately on the day of my wedding. It went better in the trial. Makeup by Sarah was okay. And the owner, Judy, did not make me feel safe about the booking with them and left me a threatening sounding voicemail saying “it would not be in my best interest” for them to give me a refund of my deposit and find another service two weeks before my wedding … surprised The Knot has their service contact here. Hope no one else has an experience like this on their special day!

I found Madame through an Instagram post of my friend who had used them for their wedding day. Reviewing the businesses Instagram i found a style i liked and reached out to the tagged makeup artist, Esme!
Booked a trial with her and one of their hairstylists for the day of my bridal shower and loved the results! The hairstylists talked me through the best haircut that would support the style i was wanting for my day, which was very helpful!
With minor tweaks to my test run for my big day, hair and make up turned out INCREDIBLE! the ladies were kind, fun, and dancing in the getting ready room with us! couldn't have picked a better team!

Everything went seamlessly. The bride had a practice session of hair and makeup with them months before the wedding, based on which we hired them. On the wedding day, they arrived right on time, made the whole process relaxed and fun, and made the bride, nine bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and mother of the bride look amazing, each with her own unique look.

Judy and the team did a fantastic job! From the makeup trial run to my wedding day makeup and hair, I looked like a princess. My bridemaids and family as well! The team was super patient, attentive and made us all feel beautiful. I wanted a natural look and safe to say they hit it out of the ball park! Even my husband said when I walked down the aisle it’s the best I’ve ever looked and it was with the help of the Madame makeup team! I had a huge bridal party and family and the team really made us all feel special and listened to what we wanted. 10/10 recommend!!

Hi there, I hope after you read this you decide to use Madame Makeup and Hair as your makeup artist because you will come to find, it will be the best decision you made besides marrying your significant other. Elizabeth, owner, has an exquisite taste for every detail along with the practical skills of how to handle all requests of the bride. If I had the opportunity to get married to my husband again, I would do it the exact same way as long as Madame Makeup and Hair was by my side. Elizabeth has the most considerate, organized and genuine team who will go out of their way to satisfy you. Elizabeth's team is worth their weight in gold and will execute any need without hesitation. Elizabeth, I love you and am so thankful our paths crossed when they did because my wedding wouldn't have been complete with Madame Makeup and Hair.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! My bridesmaids and I looked beyond dreamy, natural and sweat proof!! I was so blessed to have such an amazing team!! So sweet and so kind and they have such a special gift!!! I have no idea how they do it, but its amazing! I was able to have a trial, my bridals, and my wedding day to make sure that it was exactly what I dreamed of! They communicated quickly and effectively during the pandemic seeing as everything was virtual until meeting them for the trial! All of my bridesmaids except 1 got their hair and make up done and their faces and hair held all night in the San Antonio weather!! Highly recommend!! Absolutely LOVE!

I was truly impressed with this team's receptiveness and care in light of COVID-19. I used Madame Makeup for both a trial and for my wedding day. On my trial day, I had such a fun & relaxed experience. My makeup and hair stayed completely intact for over 11 hours, which is unheard of, as I have extremely oily skin and am otherwise very clumsy. On my wedding day, my makeup artist was substituted due to a personal emergency and I was initially very nervous. However, she too, delivered beautifully and everything held, even through a rainstorm and high humidity levels. I was truly so happy w/ my Madame Makeup experience.

The team listened to what I wanted to look like and what I wanted my bridesmaids to look like (pictures helped) and delivered. The team arrived on time and finished a little earlier than anticipated which helped us stay on track. They were relaxed and fun to have around while we were getting ready and even helped clean up my bridesman's beard before throwing some mascara on him. We all looked beautiful and had a blast!

I've had the opportunity to work with several of their make up and hair stylists through various experiences during the wedding planning season, and they do a fantastic job each and every time. They are extremely professional and efficient with their job. All of my bridesmaids make up looked absolutely fantastic, and they even did some flower girl light touches! We had a blast being pampered by their stylists. I loved my makeup and hair, each and every single time it was done by them. An extremely friendly and accommodating group, even when managing all the stress of the pandemic and virus.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!!! Elizabeth and her staff were so professional, easy to communicate with, and so talented! They showed up early to my wedding venue and got started right away. They took the time to listen to exactly what my bridesmaids and I wanted and recreated the looks exceptionally and efficiently. They even made my 62-year-old mother look like she was 45! I have VERY fine and straight hair that does NOT hold a curl whatsoever, especially in the Texas humidity. I am always highly skeptical of anyone that claims they can get my hair to stay curly. But I was absolutely amazed; my hair looked perfect from 1:30-9:00pm on a very humid day! I highly recommend hiring Madame Makeup!!! (Check out my Instagram @bethanycr93 to see for yourself!)

A talented and top notch team with great planning and communication handled our large group seemingly effortlessly. The team arrived perfectly on time, ready to work, with kind words and true concern for all our guests. Our event started at 6:00 am for our early wedding ceremony with a dozen guests needing hair and makeup. Each girl was beautifully styled creating individualism yet a cohesive look across the group with special attention given to the mothers ensuring they were radiant. The mother of the bride said she “felt like Cinderella” with hair and make-up that looked magical. From the brides’ trail run for hair and make-up to the final lip glossing for each girl that lasted all day, this team created sheer perfection.

These ladies did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for our small, intimate wedding. They made me feel like princess, and I could not have been happier. I received so many compliments from family and friends. Both the makeup and hair stayed put through 103 degree weather all day and night. If I ever have another event in the future, I will definitely be going to them for my beauty needs :)

I originally gave 5 stars based on my trial. It was great and I was very impressed. I knocked down a star because when my wedding day other people showed up. This was something warned about in the contract but I think It was owed the courtesy of being let known it had changed! I would have scheduled another trial and/or sent more photos of what I was trying to achieve to better prepare! It just kinda made the original trial run seem pointless if not the same artists. My makeup and hair didn’t come out how I’d imagine, but it was still pretty. Others getting their makeup and hair done enjoyed it.
Another thing that was frustrating was that I got reached out to a multitude of times confirming my start time, but they kept giving me different start times with each call. It made me concerned and confused about what time they’d actually show up! I ended up going with what our coordinator had down

I am so glad I booked Madame Makeup and Hair.
They came highly recommended by my wedding planner (Nancy Hernandez, who is awesome). I am fairly clumsy with makeup and hair, and Nancy is awesome, so I went with her recommendation.
In the time I booked MM, my fiance and I moved cross country and I started a new job, so I didn't really have the time or energy to arrange a trial. I eventually did (about 2 days before our wedding), and was gobsmacked by how much I liked both of them. I have thick hair with fine strands that never works with styling, and somehow Leslie gave me volume and body with my updo. Liz did a great job at giving me both full coverage and natural makeup. Not only that, but the bridesmaids and the moms all had different types of hair textures and skin concerns, and they adeptly worked at giving everyone a style that made them feel beautiful. I am a fan!

I had a great experience at madame makeup. I had my trial and wedding hair and make-up done by different stylists, but each time it turned out perfect! I felt like they truly tried to understand the look I was going for and how it would fit with my dress and wedding theme. The day of the wedding, the ladies at madame make-up did the hair and make-up for me and all 5 of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked so gorgeous! I highly recommend having your makeup done in their studio, as the windows provide so much natural light.

I had my engagement picture hair/makeup, my bridal trial hair/makeup and my actual wedding hair/makeup all with these ladies and they are amazing! They completely outdid themselves on my wedding day! All of the wedding party loved their looks and as nervous as I was that I would be overly-picky with my wedding day look, I was completely blown away and in love with my hair and ESPECIALLY my makeup! Esme did my makeup and was super communicative with me, listened to my thoughts and want I wanted and I came out looking like an Instagram model. Thank you ladies all so much!

Madame was wonderful! They made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I knew during my trial run that the women who did my hair and makeup then may not be the same ones to show up on my wedding day. SO when booking them I knew I was booking the salon and not a specific employee. But I knew that they would all do great so I wasn’t worried about it. My hair person was different on my wedding day but still did AMAZING!
I felt beautiful and I felt like they actually enjoyed being there! My makeup artist esme even fixed my makeup for me after I shed a few tears.
The only reason I’m giving four stars is because there was a mis communication about whether they were coming to my venue or I was coming to the salon. Luckily my wedding planner fixed it but I would just make sure you communicate well what you want and follow up with them before your wedding to make sure they know! But honestly 10/10 recommend!

I thought my hair & makeup as well as my bridesmaids were beautiful. We all have varying skin tones, hair textures, & hair lengths, but all looked wonderful on the big day. I had the same 2 artists as my trial. They were prompt & made any changes I may have asked for. My hair lasted the day, the night, & into the next afternoon :). My makeup was perfect as I had asked for it to be "caked on," but it really did not look "too" overdone. It was just right. Thumbs up to my hair & makeup artists. They delivered!!

Madame Make-Up and Hair did a fabulous job with mine and my bridesmaids' hair styles and my make-up. The beauty squad was super efficient completing 11 hair styles in exactly four hours, and all my bridesmaids were very happy with the result. The team came to us at our hotel suite, and they made the getting ready process super fun. I thought my hair and make-up turned out even better than it looked when I did my trial, which I didn’t think was possible. Great job! I definitely recommend Madame Make-Up and Hair.

My bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and I got our hair and makeup done at Madame Makeup before my wedding. They did such an amazing job and, despite standing for hours taking photos in the July heat, my hair and makeup lasted through the entire reception! Their hair stylists and makeup artists were great at listening and understanding the look I wanted for the day. The salon is so comfortable and spacious, and my bridesmaids and I were even able to play our own music while we were waiting for everyone to finish. My bridesmaids and I are still getting so many compliments on our hair and makeup from my wedding!

I'm rating 1 star because i had a bad experience. I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment and I was told that they were running 2 hours behind. They didn't apologize or felt bad at all; what is the point on having an appointment?! I ended up doing my own eyebrows to kill time. The main makeup artist is not at their location because she's one that goes to the brides location, so the girl who did my makeup was not experienced therefore didn't do a good makeup job nor the hair dresser yet they charged me full price on both makeup and hair. I will never give them my business again, they are unorganized, unprofessional and the ladies at their location don't do a good job.

I was really satisfied with the hair for my wedding! I wanted an updo involving lots of braids and the stylist, Beth, took just some inspiration photos and brought to life exactly what I had hoped for. It was equally awesome and lasted a whole evening with no problem for both the trial and the wedding day. She also did the hair for my whole bridal party. I would have preferred more communication in advance, but other than a minor snafu - where we did not know bridesmaids needed to arrive with dry hair even for a blowout so had to snap to it on the day-of - the product and experience were really positive.

Let me start with the positives:
I had my make up and hair trial and absolutely LOVED both! I felt glamorous and beautiful. My hairstylist was prompt and so sweet!
***After reading so many reviews about not having the same artists as the trial i made sure to verify multiple times:
*time of booking
*week before
*morning of wedding
unfortunately not only was my make up artist almost an hour late the day of, it wasn’t even the same artist. It wouldn’t have been too much of a problem except the makeup was bad! I’m of darker skin tone and was completely “washed out”. My face was obviously lighter than the rest of my body. I WISH I could post a picture of how bad it was.
A professional should be able to match your tone better.
Because of the fact that the original artist wasn't there without notice, my original run through looked nothing like the final, including the eyeshadow Color and i lost time which is money. The time that went into re-doing my make up cut into photography time with my bridal party to practically none. This was time lost that I paid to the photographer and venue for our wedding.
**Edit: I’m giving 3 stars bc my MOH and moms make up came out good and all of our hair stayed up and curled on such a rainy day**

Madame Makeup did a fantastic job on my wedding day. Our hairstylist was quick and extremely skilled. She styled my hair plus 4 bridesmaids and my mom. They also had a great makeup artist who did my makeup and my mom's makeup. I have never looked so fierce in my life. Also, the hair and makeup stayed perfect the entire day, which was amazing in itself. I highly recommend this team for your special day!

Madame Make-Up did the onsite hair and make up for me and my wedding party, grandma and mother 10/20/2017. The day was very hectic as there was a lot of traffic and vendors in and out along with delays from some of them. The photographers were pulling me in and out and they handled it all with such grace and professionalism even though it was a very stressful situation. Everyone looked beautiful they are incredibly talented and their products are high quality. I have very sensitive skin and had not a single issue. We all looked just as good at the end of the night as we did when they finished. I had trails with out vendors for hair and makeup and was blown away by Madame. They are the girls to trust for your big day!

I hired Madame hair and makeup for my wedding on 23 September to do myself and my MOH's hair. Beth arrived at our house and we couldn't have been more lucky to have her. My MOH was worried her hair would be too short for the design she wanted but Beth made it work beautifully and was able to incorporate some floral pins she wanted to add last minute. For my hair, I had a new headpiece since my trial run that I wanted to add and was concerned it wouldn't work out. After some tweaking beforehand Beth got to use my headpiece and not only did the style come out beautifully but my long half up half down curls stayed the ENTIRE NIGHT!! Beth made the entire experience great and I highly recommend requesting her from Madame hair and makeup for any formal event you have coming up. Thank you Beth!!

Thank you Madame Make-up & Hair, You did an outstanding job!
Our daughter, the Bride, first contacted you for a trial of makeup and hair about 8 months before the wedding. Your information was given to us by other professionals in the wedding industry. During our first meeting, your team was kind, fun, friendly, professional and so talented.
I was amazed how you could easily use photographs to recreate hairstyles and makeup. Myself and the Mother of the Groom booked your professional stylists for the wedding day as did some of the bridal party. All of us were pleased with the outcome and the investment. Your team of professionals were willing to come to the venue, and the entire experience was a lot of fun for us all. You exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
I have to say it was a joy as a Mom to experience this with my daughter. She literally lit up when she saw her makeup and hair at the first trial and Emily wanted to book you right away for her Bridal Portrait and the big Wedding Day.
On a fun side note, the hair and makeup even withstood a big night of celebration and dancing. In fact the hair and makeup looked perfect even after the crazy Father/Daughter dance. As proof positive, here is a quick look at it, be sure and watch after the 1 minute. I think we had shared with you that this was going to happen. It was great fun!

They talked to me to get an exact idea of what I wanted and if I wanted to change anything. The staff was always very friendly and polite. The day of they arrived early and were did my four bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and my hair and makeup done incredibly fast! They all came out really good! I was very happy with the service and will be a return customer for sure!

Carol was absolutely wonderful! Very sweet, and she knew exactly what I wanted without me having to go into excruciating detail. It's so important for someone working with a nervous bride to be sweet and tender, but to also listen with an open mind and this was Carol. She did a wonderful job with my hair and I couldn't have hoped for anything more! Thank you, sweet Carol.

I recently worked with the wonderful ladies over at Madame Hair and Make-up! Elizabeth was great at coordinating the services between the different artists and always responded quickly and positively—I never heard a no we can’t do that! On my wedding day, we had Alexis for hair and “D” for Make-up. Both of them did such a good job and were so much fun to work with! Alexis and D were easy-going and followed every request I had (and I had a lot) perfectly!! Thank you ladies for making me look so beautiful on the most important day of my life! – Alyson

The Madame team was absolutely amazing in every sense of the word! I ended up booking them only a few weeks out from the wedding, but they were so accommodating and responsive. As a team, they were very professional to work with during my wedding day. They asked me and the girls a few short questions to assess style and preferences and got right to work. They adhered to the timeline we had provided them - arrived on time and finished in time. I also liked that they were friendly and chatty, but didn’t feel the need to place the center of attention on the process. They allowed me and my bridesmaids to continue doing what we needed to do. Not only was their final makeup and hair work just flawless (i.e. photographed beautifully, lasted ALL day, enhanced my natural features), but they also happily made tweaks once they were finished to ensure that the final work was to everyone’s liking. One of the first things my fiance said after the first look was complimenting how beautiful and natural my makeup looked and how gorgeous my eyes looked. Throughout the wedding, guests continually complimented my and my bridesmaid’s makeup. I did a lot of research on makeup in the San Antonio area and their prices were very reasonable and easy to find on their website (plus they didn’t have any hidden fees). My expectations were surpassed in every single way and I honestly felt radiant for this special day. Thank you for being incredible!

I'm not sure what to say about MM. Makeup & hair cannot get enough compliments. Let me highlight the positive experiences first. My trial hair and makeup went well to prepare my look for my bridal portraits. I like how the ladies take note and pictures to file for your big day. I have no complaints about the service, all the ladies are polite and informative, and treated my mother and I with respect & courtesy. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding and it held up! Esp in this summer heat! My hair was done by Beth and makeup by Bobbie. I love their work and would recommend them.
BUT.....not without saying the-
CONS: On my wedding day, I was told and assured I would have the makeup artists work for us between the hours of 12-4pm. However, both makeup artists were pressed for time to have to be somewhere by 3pm. I wish I would have been told ahead of time that they would not be able to stay and work for us in the time expected instead of telling us right when we got to the venue. I could've investigated another place that would have had that full availability.
I did inform the salon we had 6 ladies getting their makeup done and ultimately it only turned out to just be 5. Point being, I felt very let down because I felt like that time should have been reserved for us. I can understand leaving right at 4, but when I saw them start to pack up at 2:45pm and say "sorry, we have another make up session..." you just feel this sense of you're on you're own to figure out because we (MM) need to be somewhere else. I almost cried. My mother was almost missed because of THEIR time conflict. Thank you Genieva for staying to do her makeup. My mother is 72 years old and not that it matters to Madame Makeup or to anyone else, but it mattered to her & it mattered to me that she also felt special on the wedding day as mother of the bride. She arrived and waited patiently for all the other girls, that there was no way MM could just leave us hanging. I was infuriated with that lack of regard for us seeing that the time was ONLY 3PM. Getting makeup done isn't free, we were happy to pay for each girl, we were not looking for a freebee, so why cheat the client of the time they're expecting to have your staff.?. oh well.

Hair and makeup looked ok, just ok, for everyone. I was thinking they would do something that would be hard for someone without experience to do. I knew we would be outside for about an hour and I specifically asked about the makeup standing up against the heat and sweat. I was told the makeup will stay put for 18 hours, just to have lipstick . Unfortunately, before we ever even made it to the ceremony (right downstairs), let alone outside, I was having to get black from underneath and on top of the eyes of 3 of my girls. For a total of about $550 for hair, $355 for makeup, plus me having to pay for parking, I just don't think it was worth it.

I hired Madame Make-up and Hair for myself, the bride, and my bridesmaids, and a few friends at my wedding. I had my trial done and was told they would keep the details from my trail so that we could recreate it at my wedding, which made me feel better about my wedding day. I was thankful I took pictures because upon getting my make-up done at my wedding the artist said, "Did I do your trial?" I immediately pulled out my pictures we had done the day of the trial to show her. Overall, the service from our hair and make-up artist was good. I felt amazing on my wedding day but the prices were a bit steep.

Madame Make-up & Hair did a really nice job on mine and my bridal party’s hair and makeup on location at the Hyatt Hill Country. We did have a little bit of confusion when the stylists showed up on location and I had never met them before. They did not do my trial run, so I did not really know what to expect upon meeting them. But, Jennifer and Patricia did fantastic! Patricia gave my girls makeup looks they all loved, and Jennifer did a beautiful job on everyone’s hair. Beth (she did do my trial run) showed up towards the end to do my hair. She did exactly what I wanted and I loved it. Jennifer did my makeup, and it was so natural and beautiful. All of the artists were very sweet, professional, and just a pleasure to be around. I do wish I was able to meet Patricia and Jennifer beforehand or known that they were the artists coming to do our looks, that would have saved a bit of my initial worry. But, I would recommend Madame Make-up & Hair to anyone wanting to look like a better version of themselves on their big day!

I went in for a make up and hair trial and I don't think I've had such an awful experience in a salon in my entire life. The girls were rude from the moment I walked in. I was not aware that two different women would be doing my hair/ makeup so when I sat down I began explaining the whole look I was hoping for. The hair girl interupted me and very brusquely informed me that she was not doing my makeup so she didn't need to know what I wanted. She then curled my hair (putting hardly any product on it to hold) and after 30 minutes said she was done. It looked like a very poorly done prom hairstyle. The bobby pins were showing everywhere, there was no elegance to it. When I asked if there was a way she could cover the bobby pins (I have multiple stylists in my family; I know its absolutely possible) she sighed and told me my hair was really too short (it is about five inches longer than shoulder length. Every time I asked her to tweak something, or what product she was using she sighed and acted annoyed. This is my WEDDING DAY HAIR. The makeup artist did a decent job, and answered the questions I had with the same manner; annoyed. She used drugstore mascara with the same wand that she has probably used on every other girl. I had said I really wanted my eyes to pop and after one swipe of the cheapie mascara she was done. Bobby pins were already falling out of my head before I walked out, and three hours later there was not a trace of makeup and my hair had completely fallen; so there is no way it would stay through a full day of wedding events. This was such a disappointment, and the money charged for the trial was a total waste. My hair and makeup stay better when I do it myself.
Vendor response 10/22/2015
Hi Courtney, I apologize for taking so long to respond to your review, as I was having tr...
ouble with my account. I first off want to start by apologizing to you on your experience with my company. As a local small business, who has been in the industry for almost 15 years, we have worked with so many brides. We don't get many complaints, so when we do I really take it to heart. I will not discredit your experience. I was not here so I do not know what or how we failed you. I did know that Alexis was not feeling well that day, she had called in with a migraine, and perhaps I should have given her the day off and rescheduled the appointments. I'm shocked to hear about the make-up, as Donoma is our lead artist, and is booked a year in advance. I also use "drug store" mascara for trials as the pro mascara is expensive, and only use it for the actual wedding date. Sometimes it's a matter of matching an artist with a client that makes a difference. Again, i'm not discrediting your experience, just shocked and disapointed myself. Please feel free to email me at mmakeup@yahoo.com, I OF COURSE would love to have you come back in for a complimentary trial with myself, and my other lead stylist. I hate that we let you down and would like to make it up to you.

Did a great job! Everyone had stunning hair. They are also quick. I loved my makeup at wedding but it was not with the person who did my trial & bridal portrait even though I confirmed it was. Great space to get ready in. We had mimosas & sandwiches while getting hair done.

Madame Makeup and Hair did a wonderful job with my makeup and hair for my bridal portraits and on my wedding day. Donoma did an incredible job, and I really loved how my photos turned out. The only thing I wish is that I could've had the same hair dresser for both my bridal portraits and my wedding day. They didn't keep photos of what my hair looked like for my bridal portraits, so the hair dresser for my wedding day had a different photo from my first hair trial when she arrived. Thankfully, I had printed photos from my bridal session. They are very busy, which I understand since they're in high demand. Check out www.starandtate.com to see their amazing work. I got so many compliments on my makeup, I'll probably try to get Donoma to do my makeup for any professional photos we get done in the future :-)

Donoma did makeup for myself, mother, and mother-in-law. She was very easy to work with and extremely talented. We told her what we wanted and she delivered! I felt beautiful throughout my wedding night and my makeup stayed put, even through some tears! I was complimented all night about how beautiful I looked and I highly believe Donoma had a lot to do with it! She also did an amazing job with my mom and mother-in-law's makeup because they looked gorgeous! Thanks again for all your hard work and talent, Donoma!

I hired their team to complete hair on myself, my bridesmaids, my mom, my grandmothers and 3 flowergirls. They also did make up for myself, bridesmaids, grandmothers and my mom. My entire wedding party was pleased with their individual outcomes, and I greatly appreaciate that. I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the service side. Our make up artist was one time, but one hair dresser was 30 minutes late and the other close to an hour. When she arrived she spoke only of the accident on her way, which was not really the conversation we wanted to have the day of my wedding while we are trying to have fun, relax and enjoy ourselves. On top of this, I paid up front for the services that I planned to purchase for my party when one of the grandmothers had to cancel I was still charged for her services of hair and make up. My advise would be to not pay up front and only pay at the time for what you have done the day of. Again good outcomes, but cause a little more stress that I needed on my wedding day.

I hired Madame Makeup for hair and Makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids and my mom. They came to the location to do our hair/makeup, so it was a bit pricey, but totally worth it! They did exactly what I wanted for my own hair/makeup (natural, romantic look). And they tailored the hair/makeup for the every other girl (there was a wide variety of hair types). Every single one of us felt beautiful and picture-ready that day!

Elizabeth and her girls are amazing! They are extremely good at what they do. My hair was not that long and all the styles I wanted required long hair! However, Alexis was able to achieve the looked I wanted perfectly! Not only are these girls good at what they do, they also make the day relaxing & fun!

The Ladies at Madame Hair and Make-up were great. They did exactly what I asked for for my pictures and my look on the day of the wedding. The only complaint I have was that on the day of the wedding, a few of the bridesmaids' hair styles fell out fairly quickly. Granted they had very long hair, but so do I and mine did not fall. They maybe did not put as much attention into their looks as mine. Overall, I still continue to recommend them, just ask for extra hair spray!
