I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sophia for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the results! From the start, Sophia was professional, incredibly friendly, ...
and quick to respond to all my questions. During the trial session, she was so detail-oriented and artistic, making sure to listen to my ideas while offering expert advice. The trial went perfectly, and it really set the stage for a seamless, stress-free wedding day.
On the actual day, Sophia and her entire team were incredible. They arrived on time and immediately created a calm, fun atmosphere. Not only was she a joy to be around, but her work was stunning! She created my vision of the perfect, volumized party ponytail that was everything I dreamed of. My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had imagined—elegant, timeless, and stayed flawless throughout the day and night.
Her entire team produced amazing, consistent work, and all of my bridesmaids and both moms were thrilled with the outcome. Everyone looked beautiful and felt so confident, thanks to Sophia and her team.
I can’t say enough about how amazing she made me feel. She has a true talent for enhancing natural beauty while keeping everything authentic to who you are. I got so many compliments from guests, and I couldn’t have felt more confident!
I highly recommend Sophia to any bride seeking an artistic, detail-oriented, and fun beauty professional. She truly made my wedding day unforgettable!
Sophia was hands down the BEST makeup and hair artist I could have asked for on my wedding day. She is the sweetest human ever and makes your feel so comfortable. At my trial, she ...
took her time and even tried two hair styles for me! On my wedding day, she brought an amazing team and truly made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. Thank you, Sophia! I could not have asked for a better person to do my makeup and hair!
Sophia is INCREDIBLE! She is so kind and truly gifted at what she does. From the beginning, she provided her portfolio for reference photographs and asked questions about the photo...
graphs to ensure I would look amazing on the day. At the trial, she thoroughly went through the look and made sure I felt like a rockstar during the entire process. She made you feel comfortable discussing the look at well. On the wedding day, she made me feel amazing and created a beautiful look that lasted the entire day, and did it all with such a positive energy throughout the day. She was truly so fun to work with.
Sophia is AMAZING! I hired her for my wedding day and have never felt more confident and beautiful. She is not only super talented, but so sweet and fun to be around. My look trans...
lated perfectly from trial to the wedding day and all my gals loved their looks, too! I’m already looking for another excuse to have Sophia do my hair and makeup, again 😊 Thank you, Sophia!!
Sophia and her team were fabulous on my big day and Sophia was amazing to work with during all of the trials. Despite all the uncertainty and postponement of my original wedding da...
te due to COVID, she was so understanding of the desire to do multiple trials and talk about potential different scenarios based on my questions. She absolutely nailed my make up trial and adjusted my hair style accordingly based on my feedback to ensure I felt comfortable going into the big day. Lastly, my bridal party has lots of experience getting hair and makeup done for other weddings and literally raved about their individual looks from Sophia and her team the whole day! Would absolutely recommend working with Sophia for any upcoming weddings!
Sophia was AMAZING! She is professional and made me feel so confident for my wedding. My hair and makeup was everything I had imagined and more. The process of trying out my makeup...
and hair prior to the wedding helped reassure my look for the wedding day. My hair and makeup lasted all night. Her work is truly remarkable.
Sophia had done my hair and makeup for two weddings in 2019 and I knew that no one else would be fit for the job for my own wedding. You are truly wonderful and I love you dearly. ...
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on the biggest day of my life.
When I booked with Sophia Bella, I was paired with Jana for my hair styling. I am so thankful that she was assigned to me. Jana is so kind and is very talented! She helped me throu...
gh two trials to find the perfect hairstyle for my wedding day. I was so nervous that my hair wouldn’t ever look good because it is thin and has damage but she has a talent for working with all types of hair. She managed to do the hair for me, my mom, and two sisters and everyone’s hair turned out flawless! My mother who cried at how her hair was done for my sister’s wedding was blown away by how nice Jana made her hair look for my wedding. I can’t thank her enough for all that she did and for being so flexible with the many schedule changes that I made. If I had to pick one thing that I wasn’t pleased with, it would be the minimum number of services that you are contracted to. I was one person short so I had to pay the cost for a 5th person despite there not being one. I also didn’t like that I was discouraged from speaking to Jana directly. I was told to contact Sophia first and that she would then relay messages to Jana. It just lead to some delays in communication that I would have preferred to avoid. Overall, I am very pleased with this company and will be recommending Sophia Bella and Jana to my future bride friends!
Truly the best! About 2 months before my wedding our hair/ makeup was no longer able to accommodate myself and my bridesmaids, however, it was a blessing because Sophia and her tea...
m were amazing. I had a large group and they did such a great job on everyone and also had everyone ready on time. Sophia was so sweet and made me feel so beautiful. I will continue to recommend her and her team to friends in the future. Highly recommend!!
I can not say enough wonderful things about Sophia and her team!!! She’s absolutely wonderful and the most down to earth person. She keeps you updated every step of the way and is ...
very quick to email back with any questions or concerns you may have. She makes sure you’re taken care of! My bridesmaids, my mom and I looked stunning!! Everyone was absolutely thrilled with how their hair and makeup turned out. Highly recommend booking for your big day!!

odating with our weird schedules on the day of and Kate helped calm my nerves leading up to the wedding about everything hair and makeup related. The team is sweet and insanely good at what they do. My makeup and hair was flawless and the rest of the ladies looked perfect as well!
The Bridal Beauty Team was absolutely amazing. Everyone on their team is professional and the work they did was beautiful. They are very easy to work with, respond in a timely mann...
er and really take the time to make sure you are happy with their work. I am very grateful I found them. My entire wedding party looked stunning. I would definitely use their team in the future. I highly recommend.
I originally chose a different makeup artist for my big day. I messaged Sophia for pricing and the other vendor got back to me sooner and out of peer pressure I booked with them. W...
HAT. A. MISTAKE. I won't go into details but 4 months after booking with them I still didn't have a contract and a secure spot so I messaged Sophia back to see if she was still available. She had no hard feelings about before and she did have a spot open and even offered to do my makeup for me herself after the hassle I was going through with the other people. Sophia immediately got me a contract, and a spot secured. Any and all questions I had she immediately answered and was so warm and welcoming, it was like I was emailing a friend. We scheduled the bridal trial and I paid for my mom to have a trial done since she has never had her makeup professionally done and was SUPER nervous. Sophia came all the way out to my house, made both my mom and I feel so beautiful before she even put the makeup on. She is such a down to earth person and its impossible not to get along with her. My mom fell in love with her! She was SO nervous and Sophia made sure she took her time and talked with my mom. My mom never stopped talking and loved her makeup. I loved my makeup! I hate wearing makeup and I looked SO good, I didn't want to take it off!! Sophia was so gentle and kind and just friendly. When covid happened she was one of two vendors (out of what like 10?) that gave me a straight forward answer when I asked for my money back. She was up front, honest, and explained why some money wouldn't be given back etc etc. Then she even tried to ease MY stress (I mean MINE!? SHES THE ONE LOSING BUSINESS!!!) She emailed me all night, long paragraphs about how to go about other vendors and how to possibly do some things differently. Ultimately our venue would not budge and we had to go through with the wedding. Sophia was AMAZING and communicated with me until the day of. On the day of she immediately got to work, didn't take ONE break, not even a potty break. She made my mom and mother in law look so good and feel so comfortable in her chair. My mom never stops talking about how much she loves Sophia. Sophia fit in so well with our group and made us all feel so loved. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Just book with Sophia. She is worth it and MORE.
All I can say is WOW! The women at Sophia Bella are insanely talented and I am so happy with my decision to book them. Ann did my hair and makeup and I have honestly never felt mor...
e beautiful in my entire life. Lexi was there working on hair and she was able to give all of my bridesmaids exactly the styles they wanted- they were all a bit different but Lexi made everything look cohesive. My makeup looked exactly the way it did for my bridal trial- I was so impressed. Everything felt light, looked natural, and lasted the whole night. I’m not over exaggerating when I say I was obsessed with everyone’s hair and makeup. If you have a vision and you want it to come to life, the women at Sophia Bella are the way to go!!
Amazing!!! I had so much trouble finding a hair stylist who could accomplish my vision, Sophia nailed it!!! She has special training in Hollywood waves and she made my hair visio...
n a reality. I cannot recommend her enough! She is awesome! You will not be disappointed!!
Sophia was so easy to communicate with and very helpful in coordinating schedules as I reached out much later than I should have in the planning process. She was far more responsiv...
e than any other hair/makeup team I reached out to. I also appreciated up fair and transparent pricing. I was so happy with the coordination of services and so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. My bridesmaids and I especially loved our makeup artist Tara as she was so easy to get along with and go great at guiding us as we had no idea what we wanted. The whole team was so kind and made me feel special and valued. Would highly recommend.
We worked with Sophia to organize everything- she was fantastic! We had Ann do all of our hair and makeup and she was just so professional, fun, kind and TALENTED! We LOVED our ha...

I am so thankful I found Sofia for my wedding day. Sofia and Natalie are amazing and incredibly talented. Every hair style was gorgeous and stayed all night. They are so profession...
al and wonderful to work with. They truly helped make my wedding day so special.
I loved Sophia Bella! They were a recommendation from our photographer and I could not have loved them more. They understood my vision, guided me through the process and Ann was so...
wonderful during my trial and day of! What I loved most during the pre-contracting process was that Sophia was very responsive, didn't confuse my story/details with other brides (like other hair/makeup vendors had) and you could tell how kind she was even over email. Her team was always on top of every detail and were always there to answer questions. I highly recommend this team for any event. Thank you Sophia, Ann & Natalie, you truly made our day beautiful.
May I start by saying that I have had wedding hair and make-up experiences before and...meh? So I entered into this with skepticism. But that turned to pure delight when Natalie an...
d Sophia swooped into our wedding excitement with their love, joy, and absolute incredible hair and make-up talents that had us all absolutely thrilled with the results! You want a "natural" look, Sophia knows exactly what you mean. Did you say, "Sleek and modern?" No problem. And you don't even have to ask, "Can you erase the fine lines and wrinkles," they just know how to do that! We didn't just like our hair and make-up, we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. Every one of us. But even beyond that, Sophia and Natalie are like rays of sweet sunshine that sparkle up your wedding day with all kinds of kindness, patience, thoughtfulness and joy. They are an absolute delight as part of the getting-ready celebration. We were completely sold when, after my daughter's hair and make-up trial, Sophia contacted her to let her know that she had been thinking about ways to improve her desired hairstyle (my daughter was happy with the original trial look, but yes, indeed, on her wedding day it was in fact EVEN BETTER!). These are two thoughtful, talented, wonderful women. You can't do any better than Sophia Bella for your wedding day. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Sophia and Natalie! You will always be a sweet part of our wedding experience.
Sophia is an artist and her artistry comes through in the styles of bridal hair and makeup she puts together. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and all I can say is WOW she...
is incredible. Follow her on Instagram to see her work for yourself. Almost a month after the wedding, I am constantly receiving compliments that my hair and makeup were stunning from wedding guests and others who see photos. And honestly, I could not agree more. My mom, MIL and bridesmaids are also all delighted with how their hair and makeup turned out. Sophia is dedicated to and passionate about her work and it shines through in what she produces. She is committed to her brides' satisfaction which became clear during my hair trial and was such a relief on my wedding day. With a million pieces at play, it felt so good to know that I had full confidence in Sophia. Beyond her technical expertise and commitment, Sophia is a pleasure to talk to, is transparent about what is and is not feasible, and makes the whole process go smoothly. I recommend Sophia a thousand times over!!
Would highly recommend this group for your wedding or special event!
My wedding glam squad consisted of Ann, Lexi, Tara, Brianna. Each stylist was professional, personable, and ab...
le to execute all desired hairstyles. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, made adjustments as needed.
Ann did my bridal hair and make up. My look stayed perfectly in place, even through some unexpected rain during our first look.
Sophia, owner, was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. She responds to emails promptly and is receptive to feedback.
Sophia created my vision and made me feel beautiful! First off, Sophia’s work is phenomenal and she is the nicest person you will ever meet. She truly wants to make sure you like e...
very single thing about your hair and makeup! I changed my style for hair like three times and she was awesome with looking at the inspiration pics I found at trial. On the day of the wedding she worked her magic! We laughed and had fun! She calms me and makes you feel like family (we even found out we know we each other through family!!!) my hair and make up was flawless and turned out even better than i imagined it. I can go on and on but I’ll let the pictures do the talking!!!!
As someone who is VERY picky about their hair and makeup, I am blown away by how Sophia Bella Bridal serviced my bridal party at my wedding in December 2018. From the moment I met ...
them during my trial, I felt like I had known them forever. It truly feels like I gained 2 friends by working with them! In fact, I went to bed the night before the wedding so excited to hang out with them the next morning (and get married of course ha!).
Our hair and makeup stayed put all day & night, even with lots of crying, misty winter weather, and sweaty dancing. They were both so talented, detail oriented, and accommodating to all of our needs/preferences. I have thin hair due to medical problems, but Natalie made my hair look SO full. She also used my clip in extensions. My mom opted to rent clip-ins from Sophia for the day and loved them. They were clean, smooth, and great quality. After the wedding my mom mailed them back to Sophia.
Overall, I highly highly recommend booking Sophia Bella if you want a reliable & talented hair and makeup team that will make you feel like royalty.
We hired Sophia (makeup) and Natalie (hair) for a trial and for day-of services, and they were pretty much amazing.
Our trial included me, my mom, and my sister. My mom and sister...
had never had professional makeup, and have skin and hair product concerns, such as allergies. Sophia and Natalie both provided product information and in-depth consultation about their concerns and preferences. The trial was so much fun, and we all wanted to wear our new looks forever!
The day-of was even better. Sophia and Natalie styled 7 women, and hung out with toddlers and an infant as well. We could not stop commenting on the quality, professionalism, and FUN they brought to our day. Guests commented on how beautiful our hair and makeup looks were, and they lasted all day (even in the snow).
I would recommend Sophia Bella to anyone who wants to look and feel amazing on their wedding day.
I had the most ideal hair/makeup experience with Sophia Bella Bridal! I highly recommend Sophia for makeup and Natalie for hair. They were wonderful to work with- Easy to set up ti...
me with, speedy with contracts, professional, personable, and most importantly helped me and my bridal crew look fabulous for my big day.
Sophia and her team are absolutely INCREDIBLE. From start to finish, Sophia made me feel like her upmost priority, was upfront about pricing, and always kept me in the loop with th...
eir trial parties, etc. From the moment I met both Sophia and Jayme, I knew I would be spending my wedding day with both of them and trusted them 100%. Sophia made myself and my bridal party look absolutely stunning, reapplied my lip color at least three times because she cared THAT much about the color being absolutely perfect, and stayed late to do touch-ups without question or reservation. Not to mention they were both a total blast and had a great time with us girls. I wish I could get married every weekend just to have the opportunity to work with them again and again! Truly the best!
I cannot begin to say how incredible Sophia, Ann, Lexi and Kylie were for my wedding!
Even from the first time I spoke to Sophia on the phone before my trial, she gave off such ...
warm and personable vibes. Sophia and Ann came to my apartment for my trial and I was blown away. You know how you have a vision of what you want in your mind? And, then many times it doesn't turn out that way? Well, both my hair and makeup trials came out exactly how I wanted it, and even better! Sophia talked through ideas for my hair accessories too!
Then, for the actual wedding, the team arrived bright and early with smiles on their faces, got set up and we were on our way! Everyone looked SPECTACULAR! And, the energy and cheerfulness from Sophia and her team was infectious. Even when there was a moment where we couldn't find the flowers for my hair for awhile (they were somewhere in the hotel) and I was starting to get nervous, Sophia calmed me down and stayed positive, never letting me freak out. The flowers were finally found and Sophia made sure that it was placed in my hair with perfection.
Getting ready with my bridesmaids and mom was exactly how I had imagined and even more. It was a dream come true of a day. I felt like a beautiful bride and I have Sophia and Ann to thank. The rest of the girls and moms looked amazing too!
I cannot speak more highly about Sophia Bella for your wedding! BOOK THEM!
Sophia is amazing! She took such great care of me and my ladies. As someone who knows little about makeup, I found it hard to describe what I needed her to do but she got it and ma...
de it a reality! I felt gorgeous and comfortable. I knew I could trust her from our trial and she made my mom and sister feel amazing too. She came to us and took care of everything so I had no stress at all. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Sophia and Jayme are a dream duo!! I could not recommend them more highly! Sophia was my makeup artist and Jayme was my hair stylist on my wedding day for myself as well as 9 othe...
r ladies - quite a big group and they acted like it was nothing! Throughout my hair and makeup trials and over email, it has been such a pleasure getting to know them. They are not only complete sweethearts but they are so funny and put me and my group completely at ease during what could have been a stressful wedding day morning. And, they made my bridesmaids, family, and I look absolutely stunning! I received so many compliments during my wedding day and it's all thanks to them! My bridesmaids looked so gorgeous and I love how the makeup that Sophia uses isn't heavy and looks natural so that you look like yourself. Jayme is so talented as well and I was in love with my wedding day hair, and she did magic on my bridesmaids who all asked for different and unique styles and she made them look exactly how they had wanted. Do yourself a favor and book Sophia and Jayme for your wedding - you won't regret it :)
Sophia and Jayme did such an amazing job. The prices were so well within my budget and the fact that they travel to you for the trial was great.
I would highly highly hiiighhly r...
ecommend them. My makeup and hair lasted all day and all night for my wedding. I got many compliments on how flawless my makeup looked too. (Always a plus).
I hired Sophia for my August wedding after seeing her work at a family friend's wedding last October. I had only heard good things about her and her team and was excited to have th...
em handle hair and makeup for my big day. Sophia and her team did my makeup + 7 bridesmaids + 2 family members, and everyone's hair (minus mine). It was impressive how quickly and professionally they got through us all on the morning of the wedding! After everyone was 'done up' there was even time for a round of touch ups. Even without the touchups I could tell the hair and makeup would last all day and night - and it did! My bridesmaids and family members were also very impressed with Sophia's work. Sophia and her team were punctual, easy to work with, and plain FUN to be around on my wedding day. It was easy to communicate with Sophia leading up to my wedding and she was cooperative when I added some family members on about a month out from the wedding. Sophia also allowed me to set up a makeup trial with her and took very detailed notes that she then brought to the hotel on my wedding day to make sure my look was just how we practiced and discussed. I honestly think the morning of my wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to the professional nature of Sophia Bella Bridal & her team. Thank you so much.
Sophia Bella Bridal exceeded all of my expectations!! Sophia, Jayme, April and Natalie are phenomenal artists and I would use them again in a heart beat. During the planning proces...
s, Sophia was always willing to provide her input to ensure a smooth morning of glamming. In addition, Sophia was very prompt in all communication and answered my questions fully. On the day of the wedding, Sophia Bella Bridal arrived on time and services began promptly. All of the artists delivered on what each girl had requested for hair and makeup- everyone looked stunning and yet still natural. Not only were they amazing artists, but they were so much fun and kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable. Sophia Bella Bridal wowed me and I would highly recommend using their services for your wedding day!
Sophia and her team were INCREDIBLE. So talented, easy-going and fun. Sophia Bella made my bridesmaids and me feel absolutely flawless (which says A LOT because we all have unique ...
styles and our glam team made every hair/makeup tailored to each girl). Sophia was such a doll that she helped us with touch-ups way longer than we even originally planned for and was so sweet about it. Sophia and her team is the absolute best around. Everyone actually missed Sophia after she left for the evening! I highly recommend Sophia Bella to any glam-oriented bride in the Chicagoland area.
I can not say enough great things about My experience. From start to finish Sophia was always quick to respond to my emails and had everything extremely organized. The second I met...
Sophia for my trial I knew I had nothing to worry about. She nailed my hairstyle on the first try. On my wedding day everything went better than I could have imagined. When I arrived they were already set up ready to go. Sophia and Natalie did a BEAUTIFUL job on everyone’s hair. Not only are they very talented, they are so enjoyable to be around. You can not go wrong with Sophia Bella Bridal!
I just wanted to give a 5-star shout out to Sophia and her team at Sophia Bella. Not only was her communication, promptness, and overall happy/helpful demeanor on par, but she is g...
enuinely talented. I booked Sophia for my wedding this past Memorial Day and from the day I booked her to the day of of the wedding, she was just and email or make-up/hair trial away to answer and questions or concerns I had. In the end, I received nothing but praise and smiles from my bridal party on the quality of service and overall stunning makeovers we all received through booking with Sophia Bella. Thank you so much! Book Sophia and don't think twice. She is amazing!
So grateful for Sophia and her team! As I was planning a wedding from Los Angeles in Chicago, this was an important and difficult vender to research. When I found Sophia, she was...
prompt with responses and coordinating. The organization, conversations, and experience at my trial was all outstanding. Prior to my trial, both Lexi (hair) and Roxy (make-up) worked with me on my vision. Getting ready the day of our wedding was the absolute best because it was fun, relaxing, organized, and timely. No stress and we all looked so beautiful! Further, our photos turned out so well, which is a compliment to our photography, but also to our hair and make-up team, Lexi and Roxy. Their professionalism, talent, kindness, and timeliness were all wonderful assets.
We used Sophia Bella for make up and Anne did a wonderful job! She was flexible with scheduling in the morning and the make up looked beautiful. I had complete confidence in her ab...
ility and it definitely paid off! I can't wait to see my wedding photos because I know how beautiful everyone looked that day!
I never expected my hair & makeup stylist to be the most important vendor at my wedding, but Sophia was! She is an incredibly talented professional who listens to what you want and...
makes sure you look perfect. More than that, Sophia becomes your friend. Seriously, Sophia and her stylists fit right in with my bridesmaids, and they made the morning of my wedding feel like a fun, exciting party!
Sophia was always happy to answer my questions with a smile and lots of detail, and she offered to give me a second makeup trial when I wanted to make some changes. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist; without her, my wedding would have been way less festive (and glamorous). Thank you!!!
Sophia is awesome!! She is super friendly and easy to work with. We all wanted very natural makeup and she did exactly what we wanted. Me and all my girls looked absolutely beautif...
ul! Sophia is very talented!
Sophia is an incredible makeup artist. Her team member Jayme did my hair and together they made me feel like a true princess on my wedding day. I was so happy with the way everythi...
ng turned out. Both Sophia and Jayme were so nice and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Sophia and I had a lot of emails back and forth and updates to the contract from my end and she was communicative and fast in her responses which I really appreciated. They traveled to my location on the day of and setup shop--I didn't have to do a thing and my bridesmaids and I could relax on the big day. Sophia has such a knack for makeup, I showed her a few pinterest inspirations and she totally nailed it. Jayme did my hair perfectly, I got so many compliments on the braid and the curls. Together they are a dream team and you can't go wrong with any member of Sophia's team for your makeup/hair needs!
Ann did an amazing job on my bridal party and I’s hair and makeup! 10/10 would recommend!
Sophia was fantastic to work with!!! She was so nice and extremely helpful with all my questions during the planning process. My wedding makeup was flawless! Ann did my hair and it...
was the perfect vintage look I wanted! I felt so beautiful and had so much fun! Thank you Sophia and Ann for making my day so special. I could not have imagined working with anyone else.
I used Sophia Bella’s services for my NYE wedding and they delivered! Brianne, Jayme, and Anna did an amazing job on our hair and make-up. Thy were professional, timely, and just...
fun to work with. Highly recommend them for your next glam squad!
Sophia was absolutely wonderful to work with! Before we even met in person for the first time, it felt like we were old friends.
Not only was she a joy to work with, but I was so ...
impressed with my make-up!
I am not much of a make-up person regularly, so hiring a professional for my wedding was a little intimidating. Sophia listened to my concerns, and we ended up with something that was gorgeous and still felt like me. She also did the make up for all of my bridesmaids, and my mother and mother-in-law....everyone was so happy with the finished product!
I would absolutely recommend Sophia for your big day - I wish I had more occasions to work with her!
Both Sophia & Natalie were GREAT!
Sophia was very prompt with responses to any questions I had!
Natalie was very sweet & did my hair exactly how I envisioned it.
So glad I got to ...
work with them!
Sophia is absolutely amazing!! I had done a few trials with different vendors prior to meeting her, but for different reasons wasn't happy with how they turned out. Once I met So...
phia, I knew my search was over. She was nothing but attentive, answered all of my questions, calmed my fears, and gave me a vendor to look forward to working with! My trial went awesome, and the tweaks we made for the wedding were spectacular! Sophia is so down to earth, and has nothing but passion for what she does. It definitely shows in her work. Maybe we'll get the chance to work together again one day - and if not maybe just out for margaritas :)
I am so, SOOO happy I was able to work with Sophia and Jayme for my wedding! They were among our best vendors. I had such a hard time picking out a hair and makeup artist because I...
don't wear a lot of makeup and I was terrified to trust anyone with my thick and wavy hair that is prone to frizz when I sweat. It was a task I kept putting off for months. Anytime I started to look I'd get overwhelmed by the number of options and put it off again. It was so stressful! As our wedding date crept closer I decided I wanted to pick a company that did both hair and makeup, to make things easier. I picked a different company at first that was a little cheaper than Sophia Bella, but they ended up falling through! With less than a month left before the wedding, I contacted Sophia. Her business looked so professional and she looked very experienced. I am SO thankful Sophia and Jayme were available and willing to work with me at the last minute!! I did a trial with both of them in the week leading up to the wedding, which was super helpful. Sophia took so much time with me making sure everything was just right. Jayme listened very carefully to what I wanted, but it turned out what I thought I wanted wasn't quite what I was hoping for! I was pretty worried at the end of my trial with her because the style I picked didn't look right on me, but she reassured me she could fix it on the day of the wedding. Well, she blew me away the day of the wedding with how gorgeous she made my hair look!!! I cried on my way to the church when I looked at myself in the mirror because I couldn't believe how beautiful I looked. My bridesmaids all had their hair and makeup done by Sophia and Jayme too and they looked STUNNING. We all got so many compliments all day and I think my guests were especially amazed by how great my hair and makeup looked. The only thing I would have changed was getting my hair done before my bridesmaids. We started a little late, which is my fault, and Jayme was rushing a bit at the end. I felt terrible to put her under so much pressure and unfortunately it resulted in my hair falling out a little bit during pictures and at the reception. However, I think it could have been fixed if my bridesmaids had bobby pins with them (which we forgot!!! Stupid mistake!!). I don't blame Jayme for this, but my advice is to not have the bride be the last one to get her hair done (however...another reason we did this was because our photographer was coming at the end of us getting ready and I wanted some shots of myself getting my hair done...in retrospect, I would have skipped on those photos of myself in exchange for having my hair and makeup done earlier!) Overall, I highly recommend them both. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK. YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB AND ARE SO TALENTED!!! :)
Sophia and Jayme are fantastic! Sophia answered any question I had promptly (and was great about kindly reminding me if/when I got close to deadlines), and Jayme did an excellent j...
ob working with my mom and bridesmaids to find hairstyles that they enjoyed. Looking back through the pictures I've gotten so far, so many people have commented on how beautiful we all looked, and specifically, how perfect our hair was. Love love loved working with you both, thank you so incredibly much!
Sophia did the makeup for my sisters wedding - she did an amazing job! She came with all her own products and tools, and was very easy to work with. Most importantly, we were all s...
