I found MG Hair & Makeup after my first wedding hair and makeup trial with another vendor went terribly. I am so happy that I did!
My artist was Cinthya, who was so nice and so very talented. I had a trial with her first and she came right to ...my apartment, which was very convenient. She created the look I asked for and it looked amazing. I did end up changing my mind about the makeup look after the trial and wanted something a bit different, so I was a little worried how it would look on the day of the wedding as I wasn’t doing another trial.
On the day of the wedding, Cinthya was early and ready to set up. She first did hair for my two maids of honor and then did my look. As amazing as I thought my trial look was, my wedding look was about 1000 times better. I didn’t think that was even possible.
It was one of the hottest days of the year, reaching almost 100 that day, I was so worried about my makeup holding up and my hair staying put. Our first dance was also a fast swing dance, where my husband had to flip me upside down, so I really needed my hair to hold through all of this and it did! Cinthya made sure to do my makeup in a way that would not only hold up through the heat but also make me look fresh and glowy, without looking sweaty. Even when I thought I was sweating, my face didn’t show it. I also normally don’t wear much makeup so I really didn’t want the cakey look a lot of brides have, and Cinthya made sure to make it look natural and still look amazing in photos.
My hair never lost it’s volume or shape, and didn’t even look like it had much hairspray in it, it looked so natural and pretty. She did an amazing job! Thank you Cinthya!
The one thing I didn’t like about the company as a whole (nothing to do with my artist) was that they don’t really give you a chance to think since you have to book them within 48 hours of the trial and if you decide to book them after this time period, they charge you extra. I think that’s really unnecessary and only makes them lose business. They also tell you about this great special promotion for brides that lets you do hair and makeup for other wedding events for much cheaper than usual but don’t tell you that those also need to be booked at the same time as you book your wedding service. This was a bit disappointing since I didn’t even know about some of the wedding events I was having until after I booked them for my wedding.
I’m sure I will use this company in the future for other events and weddings, though, because they seem to have great artists and make it really convenient by coming straight to you. Their wedding services were very affordable, too. They are also very responsive to emails (Denise replied to emails almost immediately), accommodating, and seem to have great communication between point person (Denise) and artist.
