So professional. I booked very far in advance, did a trial and from that learned what I didn't like/what didn't work. I had a different artist, Emma, for my engagement photo shoot makeup that i paid for separate from my bridal makeup and she did such an awesome job. Listened to my preferences, looked at my inspiration photos and made me look so beautiful and natural. I was lucky that she also was the artist for my wedding day. She made me and my bridemaids look so beautiful and she made my flower girl feel so special. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Personify Bridal for your wedding day! Arrvada arrived early and was professional and fun. She walked me through the entire process and always checked in at each step to ensure I was comfortable with the look. I had a city hall wedding and was by myself, so she monitored my phone and chatted with me to help relax. I wanted my look to be natural with a touch of glam and she achieved that! I loved what she did with my eyes. The makeup lasted all day including when I was caught in the rain. My hair held up and she did a creative ringlet for the back. On top of all this, there was a fire alarm and sprinkler incident and she remained calm and stayed with me until all was clear!

Personify Bridal initially appealed with a beautiful gallery and competitive prices, but the experience fell short of expectations. The makeup trial was disappointing, necessitating a redo, and the makeup artist, Aarvada, proved difficult to work with, displaying a direct and rough style along with unprofessional behavior. Constant complaints about other clients, a lack of courtesy from the team, and a disruptive entrance on the wedding day contributed to a stressful atmosphere. While the final makeup and hair were satisfactory, the emotional toll and unprofessionalism detracted from the overall experience, earning Personify Bridal a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Arravada was great. I was able to get the exact look I was going for. I was super pleased with it and got lots of compliments. I was impressed given that my look was not traditional bridal makeup (I wanted lots of glitter for my Burning Man-esque wedding). I was also impressed she arrived early, especially given that I was on a campsite. Very professional yet fun personality.

Arrvada and Lola were great! I'm glad I went with Personify Bridal and that they were willing to drive out to Reno (really early, before 6AM) to have HMU services for me, step mother, and mother in law. They also worked fast enough to add on 4 of my bridesmaids hair services day of, AND we still got to the ceremony early.
I liked how my HMU turned out day of, and it turned out great in photos! And I enjoyed the gift box for touchups and makeup remover. It took a lot of stress out of the morning to know that we were in professional hands!

Personify Bridal did an outstanding job with my girls' and my hair and make up! They listened to what we wanted and did an awesome job making us look our best for my big day. They are affordable and provide excellent services. I had my hair and makeup for my engagement pics and wedding and was 100% satisfied. Would definitely hire again for next event. Thank you ladies! ❤️

It was truly a pleasure to work with personify bridal. I felt really pretty on my special day. Arrvada and team arrived on time and everything from makeup to hair was done within given time. The entire experience was very enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you Arrvada for helping me make my day more special.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I had such an incredible experience with the MUA and hairstylists at Personify. My makeup and hair looked fantastic, and the stylists were such fun ladies. They listen to any changes you may ask for or if there's anything you are hesitant on. I truly felt beautiful on my wedding day. Aloha is just absolutely amazing.

I highly recommend Personify Bridal. I did a hair trial for myself and hair on the day of the wedding for myself and my mom. Our hair stylist Jazzy did a fantastic job!

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional makeup artist and hairstylist team (Sara and MJ) for my wedding. Their talent and professionalism were outstanding, creating a flawless look that made me feel incredibly beautiful on my special day. They expertly executed a long-lasting makeup look that enhanced my features while staying true to my personal style. Their hairstyling skills were equally impressive, crafting a stunning hairstyle that perfectly complemented my wedding gown. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, making for a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend their services to any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch makeup artist and hairstylist.

Communication was punctual and helpful. Artists day of were very nice, professional and open to feedback. Due to price I could not do a trial run for hair and makeup but I wish I would have. For makeup, The artist was very flexible as what I wanted in lip color ended up not looking good for my complexion. I don’t feel like the makeup did look like the photos I sent at first so I did have to give feedback on that. She helped fix the makeup so I looked better! If I had done a trial I would have had more time to sit with how she did the makeup and see what I liked and didn’t like. (I realized my forehead looked giant and needed more contour and so did my nose so I had to do those after myself.) for hair I would have realized I wanted a side part instead of middle. If you have the budget I would recommend a trial, so you aren’t trying to give a lot of feedback and worrying day of. Overall I would recommend them! They also gave great touch up kits which was very helpful and thoughtful.

I cried like a baby at my wedding ceremony, and still looked amazing with my full face of make up after the ceremony. My artist was Aloha, & she was so professional & creative while figuring out what look I wanted— and I had a lot of looks in mind! Highly recommend this hair & make up team if you want you as a bride & your bridesmaids to look stunning on your wedding day. Also recommend booking your trial run on a day you & your fiancé are free to have an engagement or pre-wedding photoshoot—make the most of it!

Arrvada and her team at Personify Bridal did hair and makeup for my May 2021 wedding at Park Winters. The team was super punctual, arriving early to get set up and getting all 5 of us done within 3 hours. Everyone was very happy with both hair and makeup. Even in the 100+ degree heat, everything stayed perfect for the entire night! They had even left a touch-up kit that didn’t even get used. In addition to their great work, it was super fun to get ready with them. Such delightful personalities - it was like getting ready with old friends. Thank you, Arrvada and team!

Arrvada and the Personify Bridal team were a DREAM! 10s across the board! Arrvada was incredibly kind and charismatic and truly listened to everything we could want. My wife and I were unsure of how to describe the exact look we wanted but Arrvada put it into words and practice and made everything magical! Aloha made us feel gorgeous and elegant and did AMAZING work when we were unsure of what we could do. Her and her team were able to accommodate our large bridal party sizes without making us feel guilty and made all of us comfortable and relaxed before the wedding. Thank all of you again!!

If you are looking anywhere else to book don't. These gals are flexible, lovely, polite, super fun and by far the best make up and hair professionals we encountered. They are reasonably priced as well and will help you think of things you may not about your big day. Arrvada thank you so much for your patience with all my rescheduling being a first responder wife makes life a little complicated. Tosh and Aloha there will never be enough words to express how grateful I am for making me feel and look BOMB AS HELL ALL DAY. They provided a lovely little bridal touch up kit but did such an incredible job we didn't need it. Thank you, thank you.

We were getting married during covid, and I am so happy I went with Arrvada + team. Everyone wore masks and assured me of the ways they sanitized their kits. I didn't end up liking the initial hairstyle and Stephanie was so sweet to redo it in a way I loved.
Tosh did an amazing job! I jumped into the pool in my wedding dress and my makeup looked flawless when I got out of the pool!
I'm very budget conscious. Personify Bridal struck the right balance between being professional and trustworthy (Arrvada sent over a professional contract, which protects both parties) and reasonable pricing.

Arrvada and the entire Personify Bridal team were awesome! They arrived early, worked in the small space we had, and really listened to each of the girls when they told them what type of hair and makeup made them feel the most beautiful :)

Arrvada was really great to work with, especially at the early morning time I booked! She listened to what I asked for and was thorough in preparing for our appointments and with doing makeup and hair. Really appreciated that I could relax knowing everything was in good hands.

Arrvada and Tash were amazing throughout the process. Arrvada was very communicative, and was able to do a "virtual trial" with me, asking tons of great questions in order to find out what we were looking for. Everyone was SUPER happy with their hair and makeup, and we also had a great time with them the morning of the wedding. I decided to switch what I wanted last minute and Arrvada was very flexible and was able to work with me to get exactly what I wanted. They also had someone not show up that day, but they were still able to get us all done in time. My hair and makeup looked perfect all night and I have ZERO regrets about working with them. Thank you so much!!
