Melanie was absolutely amazing!!! I used her for an event (not wedding) but she was great. Super super sweet and has a great sense of style and artistry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was having Melanie and her team do our hair and makeup! There were 8 of us in total and everyone loved how they looked. I don’t typically wear a lot of makeup so I trusted Melanie to do her thing and wow did she deliver ! I felt beautiful and my makeup and hair looked flawless all night, even through hours of dancing. Melanie was also so responsive through the entire process leading up to the day, answering any questions I had and you can really tell she wanted to make sure I felt my best on my day. Thank you so much to Melanie and her team!!
Melanie and her team did such an amazing job for my wedding. They were able to get me, my 8 bridesmaids and my mom ready on time and everyone looked amazing. My hair did not budge in over 10 hours even with the humidity and taking my veil in and out multiple times and my makeup looked perfect the entire day. I highly recommend them!
Just got married this weekend and Melanie’s is my first review! She is so personable and responsive no matter how many times you text her. Both my trial and wedding day makeup looked flawless and glowing. She was attentive and listened when I wanted to tweak some things or add extra drama for the wedding day too.
My bridesmaids also looked incredible and they were so happy to have their hair and makeup done by her. Our venue didn’t let us in before 10am and we had to be ready by 2:30. She took care of all 8 services and I’m so thankful to have had her there on my wedding day!! 1000/10 recommend always
Melanie was so great with communicating with us leading up to our wedding and also on the day of our wedding. We had Jeannine do our make up and she did not disappoint. She was on time and had individual brushes and everything in a bag ready to go for each person, so she did not waste time cleaning them in between people. Jeannine made everyone feel comfortable and did an amazing job with everyones make up. She even stayed when she was done, to check in and make sure everyone was happy and if anyone needed touch ups. You NEED to ask for Jeannine because she was just amazing and so talented!
Krista did my makeup, my MOH, my mom and mother in laws make up. She was professional, on time and did our makeup beautifully. I never met Melanie but she was also lovely to work with. Thank you for making my family and I feel beautiful on my wedding day :)
Melanie was so nice, professional and very easy to work with! She made lots of wonderful suggestions for someone who doesn't really know makeup well! The day of the wedding, we had Krista and she was amazing! She did all of our hair and makeup and everyone looked beautiful! I have very thick hair that always looks messy and my hair held up the entire day through the pre-wedding photos outside in the wind, through the ceremony and dancing at the reception! My makeup turned out wonderful and I still felt like myself even though I don't normally wear makeup! Highly recommend!
Hired this company for my wedding hair. The stylist Michelle did an absolutely amazing job! During both my trial and on the wedding day, she understood the look I was going for and made all of us feel stunning. She made sure to listen to what we wanted, but work with all of our different hair types so that we looked amazing but still felt like ourselves. After spending the entire wedding on the dance floor, my hair still looked amazing when I got back to the room at 3 am! I never got to meet Melanie in person, but she was super helpful in coordinating between me and Michelle and answering any questions that I had about the services or contracts. Overall, they were extremely professional and I had a very positive experience working with this team!
Melanie was so efficient and proactive. As the bride she made me feel absolutely beautiful. She was great with communicating and making my wedding glam a dream!! Highly recommend !!
I just used Melanie for my 2/25/2023 winter wedding & gosh she blew me away. It’s the best feeling on your wedding day to feel like a complete princess. My hair was just absolutely perfect & my makeup was that natural glam look that I wanted and lasted all night long! I would use her 100000 times over again. Her team is just as good as her, fun outgoing but gets the job done. Melanie was a pleasure to work with, I will use her again in the future for other events!!
Xoxo
MEL, MEL, MEL!!!! You have done it once again!!!!
Words cannot describe how GRATEFUL I am for how BEAUTIFUL Mel and her team made myself and my girls feel on my wedding day! I knew from the moment i first spoke to Mel, I would absolutely LOVE her work!! She was so personable and I felt so comfortable with her and everything she was willing to do! She made sure to create a look that i fell IN LOVE with! It was everything I could have dreamt of.... AND MORE!!
I cannot recommend a more down to earth and willing group of women to make you and your girls feel like literal princesses on your wedding day!!! I promise, you will not be disappointed!!!
Melanie and her team were AMAZING. They were super efficient and had all our girls ready ahead of schedule. My flower girl was shy about getting her hair done, and they were so incredibly patient and kind with her. She ended up feeling so comfortable and having so much fun. Everyone’s hair looked INCREDIBLE and lasted so well the entire day. I have never had a more comfortable updo in my life. It was tight and secure with plenty of running around and dancing, but wasn’t uncomfortable or heavy in the slightest. Melanie was easy to work with from day 1, and made the morning of our wedding smooth and enjoyable. A few of my bridesmaids are now planning on hiring her for their weddings as well. Thank you for everything !!
Melanie and her team were literally THE BEST! I’ve never felt more beautiful! Melanie is so patient, fun, and kind. She helped me make decisions about what to do with my hair and makeup months leading up to my trial and wedding. She was always willing to hop on the phone and answers any questions I may have had. She and her team brought the best energy bright and early and truly made everyone look and feel great. We are so lucky to have been able to work with her. We can’t recommend her enough!
Melanie's team is Top Notch, just like her! Easy to work with and just all around awesome. Marlo ran through everyone's hair so flawlessly and quick! Very helpful with my cathedral veil as well! Ashley was so fun to work with and everyone loved our makeup - we all received many compliments! Ashley even helped direct some TikTok videos too!! Melanie Rae Artistry will make you beautiful and are enjoyable to work with!
Melanie's team - Morgan and Brittany did AMAZING for my wedding hair and bridesmaids hair!! With COVID in full force, Melanie worked to ensure I had a great team on my wedding day. Both Morgan and Brittany stepped in to help and they were amazing. I cannot say enough about how friendly they were and how great they were. Morgan did my wedding hair and it came out exactly how I envisioned it to look. Super grateful for both of them!
All I can say is WOW! Jen, Marlo and Morgan were AMAZING. Our hair and makeup was flawless, and they were genuinely wonderful to work with. From meeting all of our needs, to crying and laughing right along with us all morning. These girls made my day perfect!
Melanie and her girls made me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful for our wedding on 10/8/21. They made each of our visions come true! I had never been part of the wedding process and Melanie was was so helpful and understanding in helping me pick out the most beautiful hairstyle and natural makeup! Thank you!!
Melanie is a true pro when it comes to making sure you are happy with your hair and make-up on your special day. She listened to me and executed my vision perfectly. I was so happy with the way me and all my bridesmaids looked on my wedding day. Aside from being super talented, she is very responsive and professional as well. On time, calming and all that other stuff you want on a big day. She is the best, I'd recommend anyone use her.
I had Jen come to do makeup and she did an AMAZING job. Melanie has a great team of artists working with her ❤️❤️❤️ Jen was super funny and all my bridesmaids loved her!
Melanie and her team were amazing from beginning to end!!! Melanie was so accommodating during covid and changing dates / venues. It meant a lot to me, as I was extremely stressed. Communication was great and she made me feel so comfortable. Her personality is hilarious, welcoming & her skills are just as good! Every time I look back at photos of my hair and makeup I gasp, I can’t believe I looked THAT good. My hair is lifeless and thin, and holy crap she worked wonders. My makeup was flawless. Herself and her team were so kind to my girls the day of & we were all so happy with our looks!
Melanie was a sweet heart throughout the planning process. She answered every text and was really helpful. Our day of hair and make up girls, Krista and Jessi, did a fantastic job and we actually finished ahead of schedule which was such a relief. I’ve never felt so beautiful :).
Loved working with Melanie Rae Artistry! Communications were so easy. Krista did hair/makeup for me and two of my bridesmaids. She was very professional, on time, and did such a great job! I don't wear makeup very often but Krista made me feel so, so beautiful on my special day and I got so many compliments. My girls looked gorgeous too! The makeup was very natural but also glammed up enough to really pop. I have super fine hair but Krista gave me such adorable braids and a low messy bun that worked perfectly for my look. Highly, highly recommend!
I definitely recommend Melanie Rae Artistry and her team for wedding make up. Her artist, Jessi, did our make up and it looked absolutely incredible. She was very kind and talented during my trial and was beyond amazing on my wedding day. She was friendly, social, empathic and really heard what everyone wanted. I truly thought all my bridesmaids along with myself looked beautiful. No one looked fake or like their make up with caked on, they just looked like their facial features were elevated perfectly.
Marlo did my wedding hair and I loved how it turned out! I had done a trial with her over a year prior and she took the small tweaks I asked for and made my vision come to life. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law's hairstyles all turned out so beautiful! My favorite hairstyle was my maid of honor's hair that had baby's breath woven throughout it.
I can NOT say enough amazing things about Melanie and her team. Krista did my make up, along with my bridesmaids and did a fabulous job. She was so kind and kept me calm and at ease. I truly felt my very best on the biggest day of my life ! Thank you so much !!!
Melanie and her team are absolutely amazing! She is always quick to answer any questions, and was so flexible with the major downsizing and change of venue for our 2020 wedding. The team of artists came right to us, and had all 8 people plus me done in under 4 hours. I was so happy with the hair and make up services, that I knew I needed to have them again for our Spring reception! We are so fortunate to get to work with them again!
Amazing hair and make up artists! I wanted a down-do for my wedding and was nervous my hair texture and length wouldn’t hold and my hair pin wouldn’t stay in BUT Melanie did an amazing job and I was complemented all night!! Jessie also did a PHENOMENAL job on my make up as well as my bridal party! Everyone looked beautiful!
The best ever! Melanie was so easy to work with and I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, I felt so beautiful! I have recommended her to all my family and friends! Thank you again!
Melanie’s team did an amazing job on my wedding day! We had Jess and Alexis doing wedding hair for 11 people and we were all finished on time and looking beautiful! Everyone loved their hair! I did a hair trial with Jess (it was great!) and on the day of the wedding I decided to change a few small details and she went right with the flow and made my hair even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Melanie was great throughout the whole wedding planning process, from answering questions, to putting together a timeline, confirming details, and making sure everyone was in touch and on the same page. Would definitely recommend, thank you!!!
Melanie's team was truly amazing - every single one of my bridesmaids, the moms, and my grandmother looked absolutely stunning. They were so accomodating, professional, and friendly! I am so so pleased with the portraits that my photographer was able to capture thanks to Melanie's team. I would recommend Melanie to anyone!
I used Melanie Rae Artistry for my bridal party’s hair and make up the day of the wedding. They did an absolutely amazing job! The pricing was great. They were timely and attentive to detail. Krista made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I’m so happy with my decision to book with them and would recommend them to any bride!
Melanie is one of a kind, truly. Not only is she an amazing person but her work is absolutely breathtaking! She made me look like an absolute princess on my wedding day and I could NOT have been happier. She’s so easy to talk to and made me feel really comfortable!! Loved working with her and would always recommend her!
First, I will say that Melanie is very prompt, friendly, and accessible. Anytime I reached out to her, I immediately got a response back. The girl who did our hair was AMAZING. She was so sweet and our hair looked great! However, I was less then thrilled with the makeup situation. I paid extra to have an additional make up artist the day of the wedding, and I asked her if she could do my make up instead of the girl who was initially supposed to do it, but she told me no. She knew that 2 of my bridesmaids and my mom were unhappy with their makeup, and all she said that she could do was call her boss..and who knows if that even happened because as soon as she was done, she just left...knowing that people were unhappy with their makeup. In the end everything worked out and we made it work, but I was really disappointed on how things were handled, especially since the one artist left my house knowing that people were unhappy.
Melanie and her team were amazing! She was so responsive from the start and was great the day of! She did a beautiful job with my hair and makeup, and her and her team did such a great job with all of the girls! She was awesome and so great to work with! I would highly recommend her!
I found Melanie on the knot and she was super easy to deal with from the start. I had Krista do me trial as well as wedding day makeup and hair and Jess did all of my girls hair. Everyone LOVED their hair and makeup and it stayed so well for everyone with all different skin and hair types. Krista and Jess came to our hotel and set up all their stuff and made it super easy for our entire party. Melanie was great to deal with when I had any questions and made sure I was happy with everything after my trial. After searching for hair and makeup for over a year their prices were comparable to everyone else and I was very happy with my decision!
I had the pleasure of having Melanie and her team do my hair and makeup for my wedding. All my girls and I myself LOVED our looks. Melanie was great understanding the look I wanted and working with me along the way. I felt absolutely stunning, but also felt like myself. Melanie arrived on time; we really enjoyed getting ready with her and her team!
Melanie and Brittany did such a beautiful job on myself and my bridesmaids!! Every single person loved their hair and makeup & it lasted ALL day and night. I’ve never received so many compliments, totally recommend!
Melanie and her crew are seriously the best! From conversations months before the wedding, to booking my trials, and of course my wedding day - her team went above and beyond to make me and my bridal party feel absolutely beautiful! If your looking for flawless hair and makeup that will last the entire day and night, you’ve found your girl! I highly highly recommend this vendor, you can’t go wrong!
I can’t thank Melanie and Tata enough for their assistance in making my wedding day such a success and turning me into a true beauty queen! As, I planned my wedding in two months (yes, two months!) I knew I would not settle on just any makeup artist. I was nervous and stressed as I sifted through hundreds of artists that just didn’t fit my vision – that is of course, until I stumbled upon Melanie Rae’s website. For the moment we connected, my nerves were put to rest as I knew I had found my bridal makeup team. Melanie was patient, attentive, and responsive throughout the whole process. The lovely, Tara Yordanov, who applied the day of bridal makeup, was personable and beyond artistically skilled. She catered to my request and truly made each one of my girls glowly, natural, and flawless!! I was so happy with the whole process that I honestly can’t wait until I have another opportunity where I can hire these lovely ladies again!
Melanie and Jessi made me feel and look my absolute best on my wedding day! (10/11/19) They were both so easy to work with and were only a text away! If I had any questions or concerns about how I wanted my hair or makeup they were so quick to help me and give me advice! At the hair trial Melanie took her time to get to know me and understand exactly what I wanted! For my makeup I wanted a boulder burgundy lip color and I met Jessi at Mac so she could test some colors on me! They went above and beyond to make sure the planning and my wedding day was beyond anything I could of dreamed of! My girls loved their hair and make and had no complaints at all! I couldn’t thank Melanie and Jessi enough and I will be recommending them to everyone! Thank you ladies!
Melanie made the process SO easy and painless. She was super responsive and organized when it came to making sure I was at ease for the makeup end of the wedding.
Tara literally made me feel like a goddess. She made all of my bridesmaids GORGEOUS without overdoing it. My mom was nervous to get her makeup done professionally-since it was her first time, and she was OBSESSED. Tara-you are amazing. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on the big day!
Melanie and her staff the day of my wedding (9/14/2019) did a FABULOUS job! Melanie was always a text/phone call away and sent over several ideas to me, since I had no idea how to wear my hair! The team arrived on time and stayed until the bridal party left to head to church to make sure all hairs were in place. Melanie Rae Artistry has done several weddings that I have attended and been in and I personally loved every ones hair and make up!
Melanie and her staff were a pleasure to work with! Everyone looked beautiful thanks to the great hair and makeup stylists! I especially appreciated her constant communication with me throughout the wedding planning process.
Absolutely beautiful work by all the makeup artists and hairstylists. We had 10 women total getting ready, and everyone was ready on time and looking amazing. All my girls loved them too. I especially recommend Tara for makeup!!
Melanie’s work speaks for itself- amazing! After looking through her hair and makeup transformations on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to help me and my ladies on my wedding day. Melanie and her team were timely, attentive, and respectful. They listened to what each person wanted to do for their look and beautified all of them. Thank you Melanie and Britt for making all the important ladies in my life look & feel their best on our new favorite day.
Melanie was fantastic to work with! She made my girls and I look flawless on my special day! We received so many compliments on how beautiful we all looked and none of our makeup smudged even after all our ugly crying!
I am extremely happy that I had Melanie be a part of my wedding day! As soon as I met her I knew she was going to do amazing things and that I needed to have her style my hair for my wedding. Mel was so wonderful and accommodating when it came to my crazy work schedule and trying to set up times to meet. Every time we got together it was a great experience and I knew she was going to be able to execute my wedding hairstyle with ease. The day of my wedding she made sure that all of my bridesmaid’s hairstyles were exactly what they wanted and took the time to make sure everything was perfect!
I made a couple last minute changes to my hairstyle the morning of and she quickly adapted as if we had planned the change the whole time! I received so many compliments on my hairstyle and can’t thank her enough!
Mel is talented, efficient and has an awesome style and personality. Working with her was super easy and enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel beautiful and amazing for their event! Thank you again Mel!
Melanie was wonderful to work with, she was very professional, and she did an amazing job on my make up and hair. My hair is difficult to work with because it is nappy and long, but she created such a pretty updo with it. She worked with me when she did my make up because after the first trial run I wasn't happy, it was a natural look and I wanted something more glam - and she made me so glam and beautiful. I loved it and didn't want to take my make up off at the end of the day! My husband thought I was beyond beautiful as well. She also made my bridesmaids look amazing and did all of their hair. I highly recommend her.
As soon as I saw Melanie's instagram, I knew I wanted to book her and her team to do me and my bridesmaids hair and makeup for my wedding. Melanie Rae Artistry, LLC was the first vendor I chose and over a year in advance and I am glad I did. Everyone was beyond happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. If you are looking for someone who is amazing at hair/makeup, fun people to be around and has reasonable pricing, Melanie Rae Artistry, LLC is the way to go!
Oh my goodness I cannot speak highly enough about Melanie and her team!! Although I never met Melanie personally she was so quick to communicate and coordinated a team of girls to pamper my bridal party of 9 plus me and the mothers of the bride and groom. Hayley did our makeup and brought my vision to life! The airbrush makeup didn’t budge the whole night and I got so many compliments. Marlo created a hair style that was different from my hair trial but it looked amazing and was just what I wanted. All were so patient and efficient especially when I changed my mind a million times about my look. I cannot thank them enough for making it so easy for all of us to look AMAZING!! Thank you Melanie, Hayley, and Marlo!!
Brittany was amazing she was very nice and awesome my hair & makeup turned out beautifully thank you for making my cousins, sis, mom and aunt look hot!! Very accommodating thank you Melanie for sending her out for my big day. I will definitely use you guys again in the near feature!
Melanie was amazing, and very responsive to what I was looking for! She made the getting go ready process so simple and stress free. I highly recommended her!
Melanie and her team were absolutely fabulous for my wedding day and the entire time leading up to it! Melanie is so sweet and the communication back and forth was very easy. Her girls did such an amazing job making myself, bridesmaids, flower girl, mother and mother in law look so beautiful! The compliments I received about how great the hair and makeup looked went on for weeks! When I went for my trial, Brittany made sure I did not leave until I was 100% happy and in love with the look, and I was! I highly highly recommend Melanie and her girls, they are incredible and I can't thank them enough for their amazing work and making my wedding day so perfect!
Melanie is wonderful!! I scheduled a trial with her months before my wedding and booked her right afterwards. She is very kind and easy to communicate with and has fair pricing. Not to mention her makeup is gorgeous and every single one of my bridesmaids looked stunning! She was right on time the day of my wedding and was so sweet and worked so well with my family and I. I couldn’t be happier with how my makeup and everything turned out. She even turned around and came back to fix things when my one bridesmaid had an eyelash emergency. Thank you, Melanie, for making my special day that much better. Anyone else who books you will be so lucky to have you as their makeup artist!!
I booked hair and make-up for my wedding in August through Melanie Rae and my party was thrilled with the outcome. The girls were punctual and made the preparation time relaxed and entertaining. They were easy to talk to and I would make the same choice in a heartbeat. They not only listened to requests, but went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. I can't say enough great things about the experience!
Yes, Yes, and Yes! She's is WONDERFUL. Melanie did my makeup for our wedding for myself and the eight bridesmaids I have. Yes, EIGHT! Having eight bridesmaids timing wise was challenging especially because i've been in two weddings as a bridesmaid where we were very late to the ceremony. Melanie reassured me that everything would work out and YES it sure did. She did an absolutely magical job. Everyone looked flawless even after the wedding reception had ended and until the after party. She was so easy to work with and such a pleasure. You will not go wrong booking her and you can most definitely put your faith in her. She will have you feeling like a princess!
I would highly recommend Melanie and her team! Melanie and her team are absolutely fabulous! We had a lot of people getting hair and makeup services and for each person they took their time, listened to what they wanted and made them look stunning! They were able to drive and accommodate everyone from young to old. I will absolutely refer future brides to her!
Melanie is amazing! We had two wedding hair and makeup trials before the big day and both were great. Melanie listened and executed all amazingly. She made me so comfortable and relaxed. She is super talented and loved that she traveled to our venue with her team. Also, I give her extra props for taming my cousin’s and also bridesmaid’s lion mane of curly, crazy hair. Definitely a pro. Everyone including bridesmaids and our mothers loved all their hair and makeup. Would definitely recommend!
Melanie did my hair for my wedding this past June and it was amazing! She arrived on time, was really patient with me, and incorporated everything I wanted so perfectly! My mom, mother in law, and few bridesmaids also had Melanie do their hair, and they loved it as well! Everyone’s hair lasted the whole night through sweating and dancing too! As for makeup, I didn’t 100% love my trial. I’m honestly extremely picky with my makeup, considering my skin is super oily, and Asian features are a little different to work with, so I decided to go with someone else for makeup instead, but I’m soo glad I went with Melanie to do our hair! Thank you again Melanie!!
I would highly recommend Melanie and her team. Missy did my hair, my mother’s hair and all 6 of my bridesmaids. Everyone wanted different hairstyles and everyone loved their hair! Melanie Rae Artistry will make you feel beautiful on your wedding day.
