Kathleen & Gabby were amazing!! They worked with me on my scheduling and they were so fun to hang out with the morning of my big day! My aunt, mom and cousin usually don’t love when their makeup is professionally done, but Kathleen & Gabby changed their minds! My cousin even asked if she could fly them to rhode island to do her makeup all the time!! I cannot recommend them enough. Kathleen came to my airbnb a couple of days before the wedding for a spray tan and was so flexible when I changed my mind on how I wanted my hair after we had already done the trial. I cannot recommend this team enough!
Working with Amanda had a bit of miscommunication and our artists being a bit late, but since the artists are subcontractors I get the problems that can bring. Patience and grace will get us through. Our artists did an amazing job though and it all worked out amazingly 👏🏼
Amanda and her team are the best of the best! They are definitely the team you want on your big day. I loved my hair and make-up and my bridal party loved their's too. Amanda and Sarah made getting ready so fun and relaxing.
In addition to hair and makeup, Amanda came to where I was staying to give me and a few others in the wedding a spray tan. All the products Amanda and her team used were top of the line.
Amanda is so easy to work with and listens to how you want to look on your special day. She's also an awesome resource! I was from out of town and I asked her for recommendations on a number of different things -- all of them were fabulous!
I can't say enough good things about May River Made Up! They truly helped me feel extra special on my wedding day.
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 Amanda 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. Amanda 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 amazing and very natural. Totally worth the money!!!
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 and held up the entire night. I highly recommend using May River Made Up, you won’t regret it!!
The women at May River Made Up are absolutely amazing! They did my hair and makeup exactly as I pictured it for my wedding. I was ecstatic! They’re also super friendly and easy to talk to. My mother, sister, and sister-in-law were also very happy with their hair and makeup. If you’re looking for some glam for your big day - these are your ladies!
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 better make up artist. Thank you!!
Amanda and her team were a dream to work with from beginning to end!! She was always very responsive and understood my vision. We did not feel rushed at ALL on the wedding day and they made the experience relaxing and fun! All of the girls LOVED their hair and makeup and felt beautiful. Highly recommend working with this team!! :)
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 lasted 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 changed 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 effort 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!
Amanda and her girls were AMAZING! Hair and makeup turned out perfect for our big day! Amanda was great at communication and put a schedule together that met everyone’s needs, they were so much fun to work with and get ready with, I would highly recommend them.
AMAZING! Myself and my bridal party were stunning! Our makeup was on point and beautiful! I was a destination wedding and found May River Made Up online. What a gem! Friendly, punctual, professional and good pricing. Highly recommend to any brides looking for makeup!
I can't even put into words how amazing these girls are! Our hair and makeup was beyond what I was expecting! I had so many complements!! We had a blast getting ready with the girls. I would recommend them a million times!
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 responsive! 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!
AMAZING SERVICE. From the beginning to the end the customer service was amazing by all involved. Reasonable pricing vs. many others in our area. Communication was stellar with Amanda and Sarah. Both were always prompt and helpful. Sarah did a wonderful job on my hair, makeup, my bridesmaids makeup and my flower girls hair. I would recommend May River Made Up to anyone asking me for a referral.
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' renewal 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!
I am so over the moon happy with my experience with May River Made Up. They did such an amazing job with our hair and makeup! Everyone looked beautiful, and Amanda and Becky fit right in with us girls while we were getting ready. Everyone loved getting to feel pampered, and I will for sure be using them again for events in the future. Highly recommend 10000% percent!!!
Amazing.. working long distance was my biggest fear about everything coming together, but i was beyond happy with the services from May River Made Up.. Amanda and her staff did an amazing job, they truly made all my girls and myself look like Princess!!
Sarah did a phenomenal job on my hair. I found a picture off of Pinterest and she matched it perfectly. The whole thing from start to finish was a smooth process. I will definitely tell all my friends about May River Made Up!
Amanda was absolutely fabulous. Her and her staff by far exceeded my exceptions for my big day!
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!
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 could provide me the coverage I needed for my problem skin while also maintaining a natural, dewy look. She nailed it! I loved my makeup and it held up really well in the heat...and after dancing :) I felt so beautiful and confident. Our wedding was a blast and Amanda helped my our big day even more special.
From my bridal portraits to the wedding (and many text and picture messages in between), the two Amanda's and Kathleen knew exactly what to do to make me and my girls look and feel beautiful! I couldn't have been happier with my decision to make them part of my big day! I have also gotten spray tans from Amanda on several occasions and I have always looked natural, which is awesome with my fair complexion.
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 held late into the evening, after tears, and a light spring shower....they say that’s good luck right? I would recommend May River a thousand times over. Very happy!
I hired Amanda in November to do the makeup for me and my bridal party for my wedding and I could not have been happier! Everyone looked flawless and I couldn't believe how well the makeup stayed. It made it through golf carts, a ferry ride, tons of tears and a night of dancing. Also, Amanda's relaxed demeanor was such a huge plus on a day that is so chaotic and high stress. I would recommend her a thousand times over!
Amanda and Chrissy did an AMAZING job with all of our hair and makeup for my wedding a few weeks ago! Hours later, dancing our tails off in the hot summer heat, and everyone still looked picture perfect. I highly recommend them to all future bridal parties needing a glam squad!
Love May River Made Up! Amanda made my wedding day so beautiful, easy and stress free! My bridesmaids and mother/ MIL all had their makeup done and it was amazing. The trial was fun and laid back and the day of my wedding, turned out just like the trial. I was so thankful to have such a great laid back makeup artist and will treasure the photos for years to come.
Erica from May River, Made Up was fantastic! My hair and my bridesmaids hair looked perfect all day, even with the humidity. Erica was very throughout with the hair trial which resulted in a flawless and perfect day of experience.
