Candice & Haley were amazing! They brought such a calming presence on the day and did such a good job, with all different hair types & makeup comfort levels. I have naturally very curly hair that I wanted to wear curly, and Haley made it look controlled but also very much like myself. Candice did flawless natural looking makeup that lasted the whole day. I am so happy we went with Society 11:11 and would definitely recommend them!

My hair & makeup ended up being more perfect than what I could have ever pictured for myself on my wedding day. I was gifted the cutest touch-up bag (& even ended up not needing it because everything stayed & looked perfect all night, despite all of the happy tears). Definitely listen to their skincare recommendations during your preview!!! It made the world of a difference for my actual wedding day. So glad that I trusted Brittany to make my dream wedding look a reality.

Candice and Brittany were THE best team a bride could ask for on their wedding day! They are both so bubbly, easy going and knowledgeable about what works well for you and your wedding parties hair and face shape. They made the early morning trek from Richmond to Harrisonburg for my wedding and never let on how tired they may have been from the drive. The vibe of the room in the morning was light, positive and professionally fun. Both Candice and Brittany worked quick and were ready for any curveballs thrown their way by the weather or our photography schedule. I really couldn’t recommend them enough to do hair and makeup on a day as big as this!
Any questions?

These ladies are amazing. Not only are they very professional and perfectionist but they are so much fun to have around. I just loved our session and was very pleased with the results for myself, the MOG and the Bride.

We chose Society 11:11 because they were very kind to chat with, and they were upfront about what their prices and services were. When looking for hair & makeup a lot of other places had add ons and extra fees making it hard to see what exactly you would be paying in full. I loved how straight forward and easy Society 11:11 made everything. They were so nice, professional, and helpful the day of the wedding. They made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful AND they had my mom falling in love with them. She could not stop talking about how great they all were. Thanks to all of you!

Candice and Brittany were AMAZING to work with and effortlessly provided a TOP TIER service to myself as the bride and my bride tribe. From the beginning of my experience starting with the consultation to my wedding day, I sincerely appreciated their professionalism, hospitality, organization, attention to details, and of course their impeccable artistry. I received so many compliments on my makeup that lasted the entire night and I felt like a true queen. During the day of events, they made sure the atmosphere was relaxed and on schedule. Can we say No STRESS?! (Especially with the bridal facial massage) Beyond the makeup service, these two supported me and the additional vendor team to help make my wedding day so special. I truly appreciate it. If I could give 10 stars I would. Book with Society 11:11!

I had the most amazing experience with Society 11:11 and would highly recommend them as your go-to for wedding hair and make up! I'm very casual when it comes to H&M so get a little nervous sometimes that having my H&M professionally done will make me not feel like myself. Candance at Society 11:11 made me feel so comfortable in advance and my stylish, Cierra, was amazing day of. Don't hesitate to book them - they're so worth it!

Brittany and Candice are fantastic to work with!! They are so fun and easy to talk to. Brittany really took her time to perfect the look I wanted during my makeup and hair trial and she was open to changes between the bridal trial and big day! She really listens to your vision, is amazing at makeup and hair, and most of all, she is kind and sweet. Just a wonderful person overall and very professional!! I was obsessed with the little touchup bags she gave each girl which included a sample of the lipstick she used on us. She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I got compliments all night long. I would 100% book them over again. Thank you Society 11:11!!!

Brittany and Candice are the best! We hired them for our LGBTQ+ Indian fusion wedding and they provided makeup and hair services for our engagement shoot, Sangeet, and wedding ceremony and reception. I initially looked at Indian and South Asian vendors, but found them way too expensive and too niche. I liked that Society 11:11 was affordable and had brides with all skin colors and could make my brown skin and my wife's white skin glow. Candice and Brittany were a joy to work with, they drew upon our inspiration looks and surpassed them! My wife and I would like to hire them do our hair and makeup for special occasions every year. We highly recommend Society 11:11.

I booked society 11:11 in a pinch and they exceeded all of my expectations! They were professional and on time on the wedding day, and all of the girls looked so beautiful! She had time for touch-ups and left everyone with a touch up bag for after she left! Whenever I had questions they were quick to respond and were a joy to work with! It really is true that you get what you pay for, and booking society 11:11 was worth every penny for their talent and professionalism! Incredible from start to finish- you’ll have complete peace of mind knowing they’re coming to do your makeup on your wedding day!

Was an amazing experience from start to finish! Brittani walked me through everything at my bridal preview/trial. I don’t typically wear makeup so she asked questions to get a feel of what I was comfortable with and explained anything that I wasn’t familiar with. I really had in my head what I pictured myself looking like for my big day—but Brittani made it happen! I felt and looked gorgeous! Highly recommend:)
2/21/2023 • Maya W
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Society 11:11 was hired for, and I got both my hair and makeup done. The experience was WONDERFUL! Brittany and Cierra were so talented, and they were so sweet. Both of them listened to exactly what I wanted and executed perfectly! Not to mention, they were patient and kind with everyone in our party - part of our family did not speak English and they made sure to make them feel comfortable and taken care of. Would definitely recommend Society 11:11!
11/07/2022 • Stacy W
Society 11:11 was wonderful!! They were a pleasure to work with and flexible when we needed to add additional women at the last minute. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and my bridal party loved theirs as well. We all received a lot of compliments. Brittany was ahead of schedule and made everyone feel relaxed throughout the whole process (and always had the best music playing). I 100% recommend Society 11:11!

Candice was the perfect MUA-- she was professional, personable, flexible, and very talented. She has a diverse portfolio (I am Asian), which I love. She really listens to you and delivers! She is also open to ideas and honest feedback. On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time and she worked with my hair stylist to seamlessly get everyone done on time. She is the best MUA in Richmond, VA!

Angela from Society 11:11 was our makeup artist for my wedding day and she was AMAZING.
1. She is so talented at makeup -- I've never felt so beautiful while still feeling and looking like myself.
2. She is so KIND. She was so welcoming to me during my trial and my wedding day, and made both myself and my bridesmaids feel comfortable in the makeup chair.
I was so happy to have Angela there on my wedding day, she listened to what each of us wanted in our makeup look and completely delivered! I also appreciated that she talked us through the makeup application, letting us know why she used certain products and what each product added to our look. It was my first time having my makeup done professional and I truly enjoyed the experience and couldn't have been happier with my final look.
Response from the Vendor on 09/26/2022

I cannot thank Society 11:11 for the beautiful job they did on my bridesmaids, mother, mother in law, and step daughter. All of my ladies were absolutely stunning and I kept saying it all night! Not to mention my makeup lasted through and through. Lashes never lifted, and even though I sweat in July heat, my face was still in tact all the way through the sparkler exit at 11pm. These ladies were kind, generous, and an overall a joy to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!! Five stars! If I could, I’d give ten.

Such an amazing wedding glam experience with Candice! During the trial look, she asked questions to help me describe the look I wanted to achieve. The final look was flawless the entire day! Even with full coverage makeup, it felt light on my face and matched my complexion perfectly. She also provides a personalized touch-up kit.
1/06/2022 • Katrina W
Candice and her team did a phenomenal job on mine and my bridesmaids makeup. They were so kind, friendly, and professional. Each of my bridesmaids felt confident and beautiful! Candice did so well on my makeup and I felt like a true queen. She even stayed after the ceremony to give me a couple of touchups for photos and the reception. I absolutely loved having Candice and her team! If you are planning a wedding or special event book Candice, you will not regret it!!

If I had to use one work to describe Candice the word would be AMAZING! Her professionalism, communication and customer service is unmatched! I started searching for a makeup artist in June of 2020 for my October 2021 wedding. I got the chance to meet with Candice several times prior to my wedding and each experience was great. The girl knows what she's doing! My bridesmaids and I looked flawless for my wedding. I couldn't ask for a better makeup artist.

Candice was such a joy to be around on my wedding day. She was great at communicating a ton before the wedding, was punctual and time efficient on the day of, and just brought great vibes to the whole day! Not to mention my makeup was AWESOME - it was exactly as I envisioned it. It was important to me that I still looked like myself...just better. She nailed the natural glam look that I wanted. I recommend her 100%!
10/15/2021 • Lita C
You will not have any regrets booking Candice! I booked her for my October wedding about a year out. She is very professional- but comforting- and funny! I received a bridal trial/ preview and we got to figure out what ‘look’ would compliment me, my hair, my dress etc. the most before my wedding day. She absolutely made me and my girls feel super comfortable- and very beautiful. Do yourself a favor- at least book a phone consult. You will see why every bride wants her for their special day!
10/15/2021 • Kate D
Candice was very accommodating to my asks. She made my make up experience extremely enjoyable for myself and my bridal party. Definitely would recommend her!

Candice was an amazing choice for my makeup artist! We had a consult before booking where she discussed my skin type, what I was looking for, and answered any questions. We had a trial that I was pleased with and she followed up to see where I wanted to tweak things. Due to the size of my wedding party, she was sure to select another makeup artist with a similar style so that my bridesmaids and I complimented each other well. On the day of, I looked and felt AMAZING. She took her time to do a perfect job, and I would not have changed a thing!! Candice has a fun and enjoyable personality while also remaining professional.

BOOK CANDICE NOW!!! If you're looking for a lux bridal experience, Candice is THE one! I booked Candice for several bridal services leading up to my wedding day. And on wedding day, Candice showed outtttt in a good way!! The entire bridal party looked stunning! Candice is highly skilled at her craft and is an advocate of proper skin care. She is versatile in her application. She can give you clean and natural or kick it up and turn you into a complete dream girl if that's how you're feeling!! Candice is a true professional, easy to communicate with, responsive, very sweet and down to earth.
My interactions with Candice are as if we knew each other already!! Every encounter with Candice has been enjoyable. I most definitely plan to book Candice again for my future needs. Thank you and your team for taking on the task of servicing me and my party of 13!!

Candice was phenomenal, from the moment I reached out to her she was a breath of fresh air.

Candice was AMAZING! I am extra particular about my eyebrows. She studied my process and killed it for my wedding! She is such a sweet person and a great energy to have around on your wedding day. She has such a calm and bubbly spirit. Book her! You won’t regret it!

Candice is an AWESOME makeup artist who has worked with so many women of different ethnicities and skin types. Her wide range of work that I saw on her Instagram page convinced me to book her for my bridal makeup consultation back in January of 2020. I was actually supposed to get married in April 2020, but as a "COVID Bride" we sadly had to postpone the wedding to August 2021. There were only 2 vendors that were our MUST haves and they were our photographer and Candice! Not only did she slay me as the bride, but she also slayed the mothers and grandmothers too. My mother-in-law was walking around calling herself a "Real Housewife." Candice is honestly such a professional at her craft and she is SO much fun! Not to mention, she also brings a great playlist!
Response from the Vendor on 09/07/2021
Chelsea! Thank you so much for taking time to write this lovely reivew. It was a LONG journey with the craziness of the pandemic but I'm so glad you chose me and trusted me with you and your most special ladies on your wedding day.

Candice was absolutely AMAZING for my wedding day! I do not know much about makeup at all- I have my daily routine that I do but beyond that, I am lost. Candice was SO patient with me as I tried to wrap my head around and explain what I was wanting for my big day. She made sure that everything was perfect before she even left on my wedding day. She was extremely adaptive and understanding. If I didn’t love the way I looked, she worked it out until I did. At one point, I started crying (completely not makeup related- it was weather related) and she rushed to my side and was helping to make sure that my makeup didn’t get messed up and then she had me come sit back in her chair to do a touch up! You can tell that she loves what she does and that’s a pig plus in my book on such a special day!
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Candice. She is absolutely incredible and if I could shout it from the roof tops, I would! If you are a bride in the Richmond area- BOOK CANDICE!! You’ll be hard pressed to find someone who cares as much as Candice, who will fit as seamlessly into your wedding day as her and who will truly make the day about you. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Candice did my and my three bridesmaids' wedding makeup, and she slayed every single face! She really let our natural beauty shine through. My wedding was outdoors in July, so I was worried about sweating off the makeup, but it stayed put without feeling heavy on my face. Candice was professional, timely, and personable, so easy and fun to talk to, and did such a wonderful job. I HIGHLY recommend her for your makeup needs!

It was very important to me and my husband to use as many black-owned businesses as possible for our wedding. So I was so pleased when I found Candice!
Candice was absolutely amazing! She gave me exactly what I wanted, listened to my concerns, gave me advice to preserve my make-up (I had a July wedding outside and it was very hot). Her make up LASTS y’all. I was sweating and crying and nothing fell out of place! My bridesmaids and moms were very pleased with her, everybody LOVED their look!
Candice herself is very professional, personable, dependable and will make you laugh! I would absolutely recommend her! A huge plus was she helped me find a hairstylist too. They work so well together, the vibe was just right for my big day and I couldn’t have asked for a better person/duo!

Candice is the best! She is very professional and knows her stuff. I would highly recommend Candice for your make up needs. I wanted a natural look and she gave me just that.

It has been such a rollercoaster planning a wedding ahead of an unknown global pandemic. In times like these you need reliable and understanding vendors. Candice was just that! I love Candice's work because she makes me look like me. This was most important to me as I am not an every day makeup wearer. More than her wonderful talent, her personality made the experience that much better. She is very open to feedback and adjustments to make things just right for YOU! I am forever thankful for Candice and her professionalism.

Candice is an ARTIST. Her skill is unmatched, and her personality makes the entire experience so incredibly fun and enjoyable. She is very thorough regarding your current skin care, skin concerns as it relates to makeup, how you can best alleviate those skin issues prior to the big day, and ensures she knows the exact look you're going for (and matches it to a T) on the big day. She also ensured that it would last the entire day (and it did) and gave my bridesmaids and me a personalized makeup kit for any extra needs throughout the day. I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and she did that!!! She also does one-on-one sessions (both in-person and virtually), which I cannot wait to attend so I can learn from her expertise. Choosing Candice will hands-down be the best decision you make for your day! 11/10 recommend!

Candice made me look so beautiful for my wedding! She was very professional and punctual and went above and beyond for me and my bridesmaids. I had a diverse group of bridesmaids ( asian, black, white) but candice knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend her!
Response from the Vendor on 03/22/2021
Thank you Gloria! You and your beautiful ladies were such a joy to glam up. I hope you had the most amazing day. Thank you for trusting me for all the styled shoots we've done and now for your actual wedding day.

She was so nice and listened to my concerns in order to help me feel my very best ! Her makeup skills to match the look you are looking for are spot on.
Very professional while giving you the feeling that she is one of your friends.
Would highly recommend

Candice was absolutely amazing! At the trial, she had some of my favorite snacks and mimosas (she sends over a questionnaire at the beginning of the process to learn about you, your style, etc.).
We ended up moving our wedding up by nearly nine months and she was super flexible and supportive!
The day of the wedding, I decided to add a bit more glam to my look and she nailed it! Everyone kept talking about how flawless my makeup looked.
Thank you so much, Candice!
Response from the Vendor on 03/22/2021
You're such a blessing! Thank you for trusting me with one of the most important days of your life. You looked soooo good!

Candice was AWESOME! She was easy to work with even after a flat tire on my bridal preview day, to a mother in law who couldn't make it up the stairs to the bridal suite. She took it all in stride while making our entire bridal party look absolutely fabulous. Her pricing was spot on for making our day go smoothly. We could not have asked for a sweeter, kinder, more flexible artist to turn us into the most beautiful bridal party we could have ever asked for. We highly recommend her to anyone, for anything!

I met Candice at a wedding show and knew immediately I wanted to hire her from her bubbly personality and kindness. Candice is AMAZING. She is not only an incredibly talented make up artist, but she is so sweet and funny. I seriously could just hang out with her all day. We had so much fun doing my trial-make up-run and she was so great on the day of my wedding. She did make up for multiple people, kept on schedule, was an absolute perfectionist, and was following every COVID guideline. She made me feel so safe in a very scary time and absolutely calmed my pre-wedding nerves. My make up looked incredibly beautiful, exactly as I imagined it. I cannot recommend her enough. She is very open to feedback if you have any make up concerns and will put your mind at ease. She did make up for women of all ages for my big day and everyone looked stunning, with different looks. Hire her, you won't regret it!

Candice was very professional and has a great personality! She made me beautiful and helped to ease my pre-wedding jitters! I highly recommend her as a MUA.

Candice did an absolutely amazing job on my minimony makeup. I've never felt so beautiful! She is well organized, highly skilled, and fun to be around - a triple threat. Truly, if you're looking for a great artist who will put you at ease on your big day, Candice is it. 100% would recommend to any of my friends!

Candace provided 5 star service for sure:-) She is very professional. From our initial contact up to my actual wedding day and even thereafter Candace's communication was excellent . Candace is exceptionally talented. My as well as my daughters makeup was FLAWLESS. She did an AMAZING job! Not only was her work outstanding she was very personable. This will definitely not be my last experience using Candice Hardy Makeup Artistry. No need to look any further ladies because your day won't be all that you expect it to be if you don't use Candace Hardy. She truly helped to enhance my natural beauty which is just what I was looking for. THANK YOU CANDACE!!!!! Can't wait for my next Candace Hardy experience:-)

I loved working with Candice for my wedding! I originally was going to do my own makeup, but after we had to reschedule the wedding, I realized I wanted one less thing to have to stress about. After scoping out her Instagram and reading many rave reviews, I reached out to her about a month before my wedding, and I was so happy to learn that she was available! She was flexible, her responses were always timely, and she was happy to answer any questions I had. She is very professional, while also being fun and super easy to talk to.
During my trial, she surprised me with my favorite snack and wine, which was so sweet! She asked questions to get an understanding of my vision, and let me be a part of the process. On my wedding day, she and her second artist, Tara, arrived on time and got set up quickly. All of my bridesmaids enjoyed talking to them while having their makeup done, and of course, everyone looked stunning! Candice made sure to take into account any changes we'd talked about after the trial, and when she finished, I was in love! My makeup stayed put all night and I got so many compliments!
Throughout the process, I always felt that I could communicate with and trust Candice. She also took safety measures seriously, such as wearing her mask, frequently sanitizing, and using fresh tools. It's clear that she cares about her clients and her craft, and I am so happy to have invested in her as my makeup artist!

Candice's artistry is beautiful. She is professional, communicates in a timely manner, and has a fun and easy-going personality. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup experience on my wedding day! She is the best!

I loved getting my makeup done by Candice! She was so professional, educated on skincare and her personality was the perfect touch.
7/07/2020 • Katie M
Candice is absolutely fabulous, flexible with dates/times and extremely professional. She took into consideration COVID- 19 and waited to schedule my trial appointment until she was sure she could provide a safe and sterile environment for me, and then turn right around and schedule me for my mini-wedding last week. I loved every second with her- she makes you feel like one of her friends, while making sure she is making you look exactly how you want! I couldn 't be happier with my makeup for my mini wedding last week and cannot wait to work with her in November for our reception! I will be looking to schedule make up sessions with her for any future events I am attending. You are in great hands with Candice!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2020
Thank you Katie! This is such a beautiful and touching review. You looked AMAZING on your wedding day. I can't wait to service you again for your big celebration.

Candice is THE makeup artist to book for your wedding!!
I was originally booked with another MUA, but after that fell through I immediately hit panic mode and was wondering what I was going to do. After a quick Google search and a personal reference, I found Candice and was immediately hooked by her social media and online presence. I could tell just from her videos and pictures on her Instagram that she was fun and energetic which is always an added bonus in a wedding vendor to bring positive energy to the day. After contacting her, I was impressed by her thorough interest form she has you fill out. Not only did it ask the standard questions such as date, time, location etc. but it also asked about your skincare and beauty routines and what your current practices are. I could tell Candice looks at the entire picture when it comes to makeup application and that starts with skincare. That made me feel like I was in good and thoughtful hands. Candice was always extremely responsive and quick! I was able to schedule a makeup trial with her within a week of our initial contact. When I arrived at the trial, I was greeted with a bowl of popcorn, a glass of wine, water and chocolates, talk about 5 star service!! Candice and I had such a blast and got along well. I knew within 2 minutes of the trial that she was the MUA I needed to book for my big day! Candice was great at communicating with me leading up to my wedding and was flexible with changes to who was getting what done. Since there were so many of us getting makeup done, she brought her assistant Tara who was just as amazing! Everyone who got their makeup done (bridesmaids, moms, grandma) looked like a million bucks and were obsessed with our experience with Candice and Tara. And last but not least, Candice surprised me with a cute personalized makeup bag with my name on it that she left with me for the day for any touchups needed. She really thinks of every little tiny detail! When it came to price, Candice was pretty comparable to other MUA's in the area and they were all relatively the same in cost. But I can tell you if you are planning on shelling out the money to get makeup done, you want someone who is thoughtful and personable like Candice to take care of you! You will be happy you did!
