That you to the amazing team at May River Made Up! Becky made me feel like the most beautiful Bride with my hair and makeup for the day. There wasn’t a smudge or hair out of place by the end of the night and I felt truly bridal! Amanda and her ...
team were awesome and made each of my girls feel beautiful! Everyone could do their hair any way they liked and the stylists did a fantastic job. 10/10 would recommend May River Made Up to any bride in the Lowcountry area!
Amanda is amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding day and my rehearsal. She made me look stunning and kept me calm through the entire experience! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and I received so many compliments because Amand...
a made me look FLAWLESS! I couldn’t have imagined going with any other makeup artist other than her. She knew exactly what I was aiming for and that is what I got. I would recommend Amanda without hesitation. She is a highly skilled makeup artist and makes you feel truly special!
When I met Amanda for the first time, I immediately knew she was the stylist and makeup artist for me. Her sense of humor, kindness, flexibility, and expertise are unmatched. I have very dry, sensitive skin and am also very fair complected. Ama...
nda worked with me to find the best makeup for my skin, and she gave me her phone number in case I had any questions. She was there every step of way! On the day of the wedding, when Amanda entered the room, talk about zen vibes with a spark of humor! All of my bridesmaids loved her, and she made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world. When I saw myself in the mirror that day, I almost cried. Amanda and her team were incredible, and if I could have her by my side doing my hair and makeup everyday, I would. If you're looking for someone to make you feel and look your best, look no further. Amanda and her team are incredible.
Amanda was great to work with. I came in to Hilton Head Island from out of town, so I was unable to have a trial. I was very nervous but Amanda reassured me throughout the process and I am very happy with how it turned out! My makeup lasted the...
whole day. I had a hiccup with my hair: she brought someone with her who did my hair and I wasn’t happy with the first style she did - I think a trial would have avoided that issue. But she was very quick and willing to fix my hair to a style that was closer to what I wanted and I am very pleased with how it turned out! Thank you Amanda for making me feel beautiful for my wedding!
I relied on referrals for the majority of my wedding vendors in Hilton Head. Amanda and her crew came highly recommended and I could not agree more! Her pricing is very reasonable and the hair/make up is amazing. They arrived on time to the ...
hotel and were very enjoyable to be around. She even allowed my pup to sit on my lap while doing my make up=) I would use her and her team again in a heartbeat!
Amanda came to my villa and spray tanned me and it was soo simple and convenient. She was extremely kind and professional- plus very reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a spray tan. My color looks ama...

Amanda and her team were organized, professional, and so very talented! These ladies made getting ready go so smoothly. My bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom, and flower girls looked and felt stunning. My hair and make up looked perfect...

Amanda with May River Made Up did an amazing job with my make up! I don't wear much in general and she did exactly what I asked and more! I found Amanda last minute and she rolled out the red carpet for me and came to my house to do my make up ...
before my wedding. She answered all my questions and was super friendly! Her skills are delicate with the air brush and especially with eyelash extenders! I recommend 100% every time!
Amanda and her team are the absolute best! Professional and patient with me and my bridesmaids (which isn’t an easy task). They are affordable as well. She is talented and nailed it with the style and look I wanted. I wouldn’t have picked a bet...

May River Made Up did an amazing job on our hair and make-up for my brother's wedding! The artist took the time to understand our vision and provide results that played to everyone's unique style. Not only were they timely and professionally, ...
but they also made it easy going and fun.
Amanda and Amanda were the perfect team!! They not only gave us the exact look that we wanted but also pointed us in the right direction on what's trendy. Our moms looked absolutely stunning. Everyone's makeup looked smooth, natural, and they l...
asted throughout the day an night. We never looked better!! For hair, just WOW! She can recreate any photo you show her. Still don't know how she does it. Thank you both so much for making our special day even more special! We felt so glamorous... Now if you two could just come over everyday ;).
May River Made Up was great! Sarah and Becky did a great job preparing us for the big day. Sarah listened to all of my worries and made sure my look would last all night. She also packed me an emergency kit with lipstick in it which was just so...
sweet!! Very highly recommended!!
I had Amanda and Sarah for hair and makeup for myself, my mother, mother-in-law, and five bridesmaids (I did my bridesmaids' hair). They arrived on time, were kind and professional. I had a trial run before, and I'm glad I did as I completely c...
hanged my look for the day. I thought my bridesmaids looked beautiful with their makeup! I didn't really love my hair or makeup though. As someone who does hair and loves makeup, I think I'm just highly picky and also rather critical of myself. Everyone loved my hair and makeup so I know they did a great job - I think I would just tweek some things if I could go back. Overall, the ladies were great, remained on schedule, were flexible, and had kind attitudes.
My bridal party, mother of the bride, mother of the groom and grandmothers were all part of our hair and make-up schedule. The girls did a great job coordinating our schedule (when nothing went as planned.) They were on time and made every ef...
fort to make everything perfect! Amanda did my trial and made suggestions, even sent me ideas for hair pieces afterwards! Our make-up looked flawless and lasted all night! Would highly recommend!
I got married this past Saturday, on June 1st and I was completely blown away by the talent of my make up artist Amanda as well as the my hairstylist Amanda. They did an absolutely outstanding job. All of my bridesmaids looked and felt amazing....
Would highly recommend! Love love love!

Every woman wants to feel their most beautiful on their wedding day! I most absolutely without a doubt DID! This is one detail I did not have to worry about on our special day! Amanda, the owner, was incredibly easy to work with and super respo...
nsive! We live out of town and she helped schedule a hair and make up trial during a holiday weekend when we were in town visiting family! Becky did my HAMU and also Kathleen worked with my family and bridesmaids! They were simply amazing! I loved that they were able to create the exact look we wanted!

Mandi, Thank you for your review and for choosing us to be part of your special day. It was our pleasure to work with you, and we wish you both the best 💜
Amazing service, reasonable prices and over-the-top professionalism and friendliness. Amanda and Beck were excellent helping me plan and execute my hair and make up (from the distance and with no time for trials) for our oceanfront vows' renewa...
l ceremony.
Despite being in a bind to find my hair and make-up vendor, the threat of the hurricane and working long distance, they were both very helpful and flexible.
Becky's hair (I wore a natural flowers crown and a 2-tie cathedral length veil) and make-up were gorgeous, and she brought to life my vision perfectly. Since it was a 2 people event, she was also extremely helpful while I was getting ready and always tending to last minute retouches before my walk to the beach.
I absolutely love working with them and highly recommend them. If you have not found you hair and make up artist for your low country wedding, look no more!

Thank you so much to Amanda. She made my day the most beautiful of my life. I don’t wear much make up as it is, but she made it look so natural. I would 100% recommend her to every bride I know!

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! It was an honor to work with you on such an amazing day 💜
I cannot give enough positive feedback on my experience with May River Made Up. My husband and I got married late last year and I was so worried about the humidity affecting my makeup (we got married in Jamaica). Amanda assured me that she coul...

Jessi, Thank you for your review! We loved working with you and wish you both the best 💜
Amanda coordinated everything directly with me, and made the hair and makeup sing 🎶 on our wedding day. I had a rather large bridal party and I was impressed how easily they swooped in and out and made us all look beautiful. The makeup even he...
