Cannot say enough about Janet and Marlene (Amy the owner too). I went for a trial a few months before and Janet and Marlene were so great to work with. They are extremely talented ...
and easy to be around. They were prompt and efficient on the day of the wedding. When I wanted to make some small changes they did them with no problem. The hair and makeup was soft and elegant, not over done at all. They listened and used the photo inspiration I had to give me exactly what I wanted. Hire recommend!
Amy and Janet did such an amazing job with the hair and makeup at my wedding. Pre-wedding day Amy was very responsive, helpful, and patient with all my questions. On the wedding da...
y Amy did phenomenal makeup that lasted all day long (at a full outdoor wedding) and Janet did wonderful updos! Highly recommend for any event you want to feel beautiful and special! Thank you Amy!
As an out of town bride, had a very limited amount of time to do a hair and makeup trial. I decided to book with South Beach Hair and Makeup based on a recommendation from the wed...
ding coordinator at my venue. My first contact with the studio was with Megan, the studio coordinator. Megan immediately made me feel at ease, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. After listening to the style I was going for, Megan matched me with lead stylist Nicole. Hands down, Nicole was INCREDIBLE! I was absolutely blown away by her talent, professionalism, and wonderfully calming personality. It was also clear to see that Nicole loves what she does, and genuinely wanted me to be happy. I loved my hair and makeup on my wedding day, and also loved how it looked in pictures. I decided to go with traditional makeup (not airbrush), and my makeup lasted the entire day and night. My hair also held, even through the after party. My bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done by Marlene and Janet, and everyone was exceptionally happy with their look! I highly highly recommend the team of Nicole, Marlene, and Janet!
I hired this company because my sister used them about 4 years ago for her wedding so knew they would do a good job. It turns out they're in a transition period so I was working wi...
th one woman but my stylist was starting to take control. I had a hard time confirming things with the original woman but Brittany was great. She was sweet and responsive and easy to work with. My only complaint is that I provided a list of bridesmaids and my mom and the mother of the groom but it seems the list got jumbled and unfortunately, my mother was the last one ready. Because of that I do not have a single picture with my mom... But what can you do. Just make sure you're paying attention to who's ready when and make sure your mom is ready first so you have the getting ready pictures with her.
Long story short, Brittany is awesome and you will look STUNNING on your wedding day. The prices are reasonable and Brittany is very willing to work with you and adjust however you want her to. She and her team are the best.
I interviewed a few companies and ended up going with South Beach Makeup Studio. I am so glad I did for several reasons!:
First, Megan, their coordinator, is a complete sweetheart...
and professional. She did a top notch job communicating with me to set up a relatively last minute trial session and procuring 3 artists to do hair and makeup for me, my 5 bridesmaids, and my mother in law within a month of my ceremony. As an out of state bride planning a destination wedding, I was so grateful for Megan's help!
Second, Brittany, the lead artist, did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I'm usually a bit of a girl next door when it comes to makeup but she made me feel glamorous and sexy! The makeup and hair held up for 5 hours of a beach ceremony and outdoor reception, with no signs of wearing off or falling out.
Third, Maria and McLaine are also fabulous artists who made my bridal party look and feel amazing. One of the top goals for my wedding was for everyone in my party to feel beautiful and confident. Brittany, Maria, and McLaine made this happen and more.
Finally, the entire hair and makeup team were great at thinking on their feet and making everyone in the room laugh. They all have great personalities and kept everyone in the room happy. My mother in law (MIL) suffers from minor episodes of memory loss and requested some last minute extra services that were not planned for in our contract or timeline. Maria was especially sweet in helping us accommodate this request and fitting my MIL into the team's busy timeline. I can't say enough good things about how sweet Maria was to my MIL and how special she made her feel. The team finished everyone on time and the rest of the day went off without a hitch. Thanks, ladies!!!

ed so good on me. Amy is top notch organized and responsive, which made taking care of all the details really easy. The services are pricey, but definitely worth it.
She was great and my makeup and hair stayed in place all night. Received many compliments. Pricey, but I was happy with everything.
I used Nicole my hair and makeup for both the morning ceremony and evening reception. I had Brittany do hair/makeup for my mom and sister. Both artists are SPECTACULAR.
Nicole...
achieved the exact look I wanted and customized my hair to accommodate my traditional Indian wedding jewelry. My mom (who asked for a natural look) and my sister (who asked for a fun look) were both pleased.
We also got TONS of compliments on how beautiful we looked both in the morning for the ceremony and for the reception in the evening.
FABULOUS! Amy and her team are just awesome. My BM's, Mom, MIL and myself had the best time getting hair and makeup done with the SoBe Makeup team. My girls looked so beautiful and...
so happy it brought tears to my waterproof mascara eyes. I changed my hair and makeup at the last minute and Amy had no problem rolling with the change, which was highly appreciated. Natural, smokey eye, high fashion etc Amy and her team can do it all. Even Obama had his makeup done by Amy, doesn't get better than that in my opinion.
It was very convenient that they will meet you wherever you are having the wedding. I did a trial run the day before and they did a wonderful job. The same women who did my makeup ...
trial run came out and did the wedding makeup. I was very pleased with the services that they provided. My makeup stayed perfect throughout my wedding day.
