My entire experience with Maria Noel and her team from beginning to end was an absolute dream! They stayed in contact, kept me updated, and I have never been more pleased with my looks in my life than on my wedding day when Karina and Micheala did my hair and makeup! They nailed the look I was going for perfectly!
AMAZING. PROFESSIONAL. ACCOMODATING. ABOVE AND BEYOND. MAGIC. Maria and her team were nothing short of amazing. They made me look the best I ever have. Forever in debt to them!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Maria and her team at Southern Belle by Maria Noelle! From the very beginning, Maria paid attention to every single detail and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. She doesn’t stop until you are 100% happy with your look, and her dedication truly shows. She and her team are not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and such a calming presence on a busy wedding day. I felt so beautiful and confident, all thanks to them. I would recommend Southern Belle by Maria Noelle to anyone getting married—you will not be disappointed!
Maria and her team are absolutely amazing! I just got married and she did hair and makeup for myself, my mother, and my entire bridal party. She truly captured the requests of each of my girls. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. She really has a way of capturing your natural beauty while making you feel so elevated. I could not be more pleased with her services. Her communication and planning is also amazing, you know what to expect without any surprises. She is very willing to work with your needs! 10 out of 10, I would use her again!
I cannot recommend Maria Noel highly enough and her wonderful staff. From our initial conversation and first meeting. Maria was absolutely fantastic and very professional. She made me feel very comfortable and confident about my vision for a flawless and natural look I wanted on my wedding day. She really cares about her clients and she makes sure they are completely satisfied with her work. Maria is thoughtful, kind and she has an amazing personality. Her attention to every detail is impeccable.
My makeup and hair style were absolutely beautiful and lasted all day and night. You’re truly an incredible artist and individual.
I’m so glad I found you. I would HIGHLY recommend Maria Noel and staff for your wedding party!!!!
Thank you so much Maria!!!!
Maria and Inga were both great!!! Maria is so knowledgable, uses amazing products and listened to what worked and what didn't at the trial. Inga has been doing hair for a long time and it shows. I had one style at the trial then changed my mind before the day of the wedding to something totally different and she pulled it off effortlessly. Everyone in my bridal party looked amazing and I am so happy I went with them!
I can’t recommend Southern Belle enough! From start to finish, they exceeded all of my expectations for my wedding day hair and makeup. The team was not only incredibly professional but also super warm and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
During the trial, they really listened to what I wanted and helped me refine my vision until I felt 100% confident in the look. On the big day, they were punctual, efficient, and made me and my bridal party feel like a million bucks. My hair and makeup looked flawless and lasted all day—through tears, dancing, and everything in between. I felt beautiful, but still like myself, which was exactly what I wanted.
What really stood out was how relaxed and calm they kept everything. They made sure we were all ready on time without ever rushing us. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more talented team to help make my wedding day perfect. Thank you so much for making me feel like a true bride!
The whole team was great to work with and they all did an amazing job on not only my makeup and hair but my bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law! I highly recommend them!
Perfect Hair and Makeup!
I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding hair and makeup! Maria Noel nailed the look, and it lasted all night without any touch-ups. I felt amazing, got so many compliments, and everything looked flawless in photos. Highly recommend!
Maria was exceptional!! If you're looking for a fantastic makeup artist, I would highly recommend. She listened to what I wanted and delivered on my expectations. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup as well. Definitely book, if she's available!!
Thank you, Maria, for making my day so special!!!
This team was amazing to work with from start to finish! Everything was seamless and stress free. We had 9 people total getting hair and makeup done. We started at 8 am and were done by 2 for photos. It was a hot and humid day. No one needed touch ups. These ladies know exactly what products to use and how to customize each and every look to fit everyone’s needs. I loved my hair and makeup the day of my trial run, but SOMEHOW they were able to make it even BETTER on wedding day.
Maria and her team are absolutely outstanding!!! If you are in need of a hair & make up team for your wedding (or any event), look no further!! From the professionalism, the kindness, attention to detail and the absolutely FLAWLESS work, they are everything you could possibly need for your event. Maria, Inga and the rest of her team made me at ease and we laughed thru my whole session. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
MOG
Maria and her team are the best to ever do it. Sincerely, they listen to exactly what you want and work with you to bring your vision to life. They are so knowledgeable, efficient and fun! Everyone in the hair/makeup space should take notes from them on how to do weddings. Thank you for everything!!!!
Maria and her team are absolutely outstanding!!! If you are in need of a hair & MUA team for your wedding (or any event), look no further!! From the professionalism, the kindness, the absolutely FLAWLESS work, they are everything you could possibly need for your event. I am someone who is very type A and loves great quality and I’m big on attention to detail. Maria and Inga made me, and my family, feel so loved and Maria truly made me feel SO special from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and Maria will forever have such a special place in my heart — my wedding weekend simply wouldn’t have been the same without them!!
There are not enough amazing things I could say about Southern Belle by MariaNoel! Maria and her team are truly amazing. Prior to the wedding Maria was extremely professional and had great communication. I did a spray tan service with her 2 days prior and it was AMAZING. She checked in the next day to ensure we were happy with the results.
The day of, her and her team arrived on time and did a great job taking care of a large bridal party. 10/10 for both hair and makeup!! They did a great job.
Maria has a mama bear attitude when it comes to protecting the bride and making sure there is no stress on the wedding day. I cannot tell you how much of a difference this made for me.
Every bride wants to feel beautiful on their wedding day. Maria truly gave me this feeling. There is no one else I would have wanted to have take care of me or my bridesmaids! I cannot recommend this team enough!
THANK YOU MARIA AND TEAM!!!
Inga with Southern Belle made me feel so beautiful for my wedding day! I have had multiple people ask who we used for hair and makeup - I think that is the highest compliment! We had four members of Southern Belle to help my 10 bridesmaids, my mom, and me get ready. They were all on time, very nice, easy to talk to, and had us all looking great right on schedule. I would absolutely recommend!
Maria and her team were amazing! My makeup and hair came out exactly how I pictured. They were kind, thoughtful, and so very talented. Thank you for making it so easy!
Southern Belle by MariaNoel employs only the highest standard of makeup and hair professionals - we were all so impressed with the quality of work and all felt so beautiful! We worked with Inga, Anel, and Landre and they were all fabulous. Inga did my bridal hair and makeup and was very attentive to what I was looking for and delivered perfectly. I would highly recommend Southern Belle by MariaNoel for all your bridal/wedding party hair/makeup needs.
Maria is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! She listened to everything I had to say, always was available for calls and text messages and most importantly treated me like a friend rather than a client. She did my rehearsal makeup/hair and also did my wedding day makeup and hair with her WONDERFUL team. They were extremely professional, listened to all the bridesmaids and family members wants, needs, concerns and we all looked absolutely gorgeous. I had multiple people tell me this is THE BEST hair and makeup they have ever seen at a wedding! If you are looking for hair and makeup for you wedding... LOOK NO FURTHER! Maria and her team are the ones for you!
Maria did my hair and Inga did my makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and my wedding day. I couldn’t have been happier with everything! My hair and makeup have never looked better, and my mother, mother in law and bridesmaids all loved theirs as well. I can’t recommend MariaNoel and her team enough- they really made my special day that much more special!
I absolutely could not be happier that I chose Maria and her team to do hair & makeup for myself and my bridal party for my wedding day! I had asked my wedding planner to help me choose between a few different groups and she said "you MUST use Maria" - she couldn't have been more right! The entire experience from the first day I contacted Maria was seamless and so enjoyable. She is one of the most responsive people I have ever worked with and incredibly professional. During our first conversation, I mentioned that a member of my bridal party was struggling with hair loss and I wanted to make sure she felt comfortable and beautiful on the wedding day - Maria didn't even hesitate and ensured me that her team would take great care of her, and they certainly did (shout out to Natalie!). I could not be more grateful to Maria for making the people I love feel so beautiful. Maria and her team do AMAZING work and created such a fun, low stress environment the morning of my wedding. I made some minor changes between my trial and the wedding day and Maria truly listened to me and made sure my hair & makeup were exactly what I had envisioned. Not to mention, my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY LONG!! After my trial, I even decided to use Maria for my rehearsal dinner hair & makeup because I was so in love with how she made me look and feel. I would HIGHLY recommend Maria and her team. My bridal party had a wide variety of skin types and hair types and everyone looked and felt amazing, including my mom and mother in law. Many of my girls have told me that they have never had their hair & makeup done so well. I could go on and on about how much I love Maria - she is the best and that is who you deserve to have on your wedding day!
MariaNoel and her team gave me and my party the most incredible experience and treatment. Since I was destination bride, MariaNoel had a full plan for me to do my trial the day before the wedding and slightly change my hair into a pony tail. I can’t begin to say the amount of rave reviews I got on my hair and makeup, and it was even better on wedding day for me. My bridesmaids, mom, and MIL were thrilled with how their hair and make up turned out. MariaNoël provided amazing touch up services throughout the day, and it felt like celebrity star treatment from beginning to end.
Stop searching and hire Maria now! She did makeup for me and 5 bridesmaids and we ALL looked amazing. Maria is so easy to work with, very responsive, and does INCREDIBLE work. She ensures you are completely happy and comfortable with your look.
Maria is so extremely talented and is absolutely top notch! You will not be disappointed! Check out the before and after pics and they speak for themselves. Amazing talent! I can't say enough great things about her! You'll feel like the most beautiful person on the planet!
This was a fantastic experience! The talents and skills were top notch for hair and makeup. I couldn’t believe the transformation yet keeping with a naturally beautiful look for the wedding and the photographs! I would highly recommended this for the bride, bridal party and family! Punctual , skilled, fabulous!
I booked Southern Belle by MariaNoel for my wedding due to their many package options as I had 14 + myself to have hair and makeup done that morning. They were able to provide enough artists to accommodate us all without having to wake up at the crack of dawn! (Huge plus!). Inga did my trial and gave her professional opinion on how we should adjust for wedding day. Inga made me look unbelievable flawless! I am an indecisive person with limited experience with makeup so she was attentive to what I was looking for and made it all happen! She was absolutely fabulous to work with and I cannot say enough good things about her and the entire team. They did amazing and worked efficiently but still attentive to detail for all of my bridesmaids/MOB/MOG/Grandma!
One of the biggest stresses I had in regards to my wedding was hair and makeup. With my wedding being destination, I had to rely a ton on my planners advice on who to choose. Well after making the trip from DC to SC twice and not being happy with my hair/makeup. Maria and her team absolutely saved my wedding day! I had seen their work online and was blown away. And I am so beyond thankful that they took me on last minute! Maria is the sweetest most considerate person you will ever meet, and will do everything to make sure you and your party feels beautiful! I cried when she did my makeup trial because I had never felt so beautiful! She even offered to comp my wedding hair for free because I was stuck in another contract.She is the best person to have by your side because her ultimate goal is to make you feel stress free and beautiful! Also she always brings snacks with her!
Maria and team were amazing. Their #1 rule is making sure you love how you look! I've had my makeup done professionally multiple times before and never liked it, Maria took the time to listen to what I wanted and was looking for, my likes and dislikes and worked MAGIC! Everyone's makeup looked amazing, her and her team are fun to hang out with, I would highly recommend! Xo
Maria and her team are sensational. They are so professional and a pleasure to work with. I had a whopping 15 people (and 1 flower girl!) the morning of my wedding needing hair and makeup. Every single person looked drop dead gorgeous and lasted ALL DAY! All skin tones were on point for the makeup (no orange or incorrect colorings on ANYONE!) and the hair styles were gorgeous. I do have to do a shoutout for Inga who did my hair (hollywood waves) and makeup. She does fashion/magazine covers she’s THAT talented. Maria’s team as well as Maria are worth the higher price in comparison to your typical cost of hair/makeup teams. I also had Inga do my engagement photo hair/makeup and I am SO glad I did! I’ve added all the pictures I can below. You’re getting truly the best (as I’ve had many professional hair/makeup sessions before) with Maria’s team and I found it worth it every penny.
My main make-up artist was Inga for my wedding and she did a brilliant job. I never wear make-up so it was quite intimidating to me to go through the whole process. At my trial she was really nice and talked me through all the different steps, and she was really flexible with creating a look that made me feel good and like I wasn't wearing too much, while still looking like a polished and fancy version of myself. Her and her team did a great job with all of the bridesmaids and mums hair and make-up as well - everyone ended up looking amazing and saying how much they loved their looks. All of my bridesmaids were able to do whatever they wanted with their looks so it was a bunch of different things as well. Finally, they did such a great job with the little flower girls (ages 3 and 5) - they were gentle and patient with them and made them look so cute with their princess buns and little curls.
I highly recommend them - great team, really talented and professional - all around a great experience!
MariaNoel was fantastic! I am not a big makeup wearer, and she made me look fabulous. She is incredibly professional, knows her craft and made me feel comfortable from the get-go. I would recommend her services to anyone that is looking to get that special look for their special day.
I HIGHLY recommend MariaNoel and her team!! From booking, to trial and to wedding day - Maria was excellent and efficient! I was having a small wedding and only had a matron of honor - so at first, to book her for a Saturday wedding wasn’t really an option with her minimum requirements. But, after a horrible experience with another vendor - my then fiancé reached out to her for me to see what we could do to book her. She told us the minimum $$ amount and how many services we could get for it……so we added our Moms and my Aunt to the “bridal party “ and was able to not only book Maria herself but also her top hairstylist Inga!! They did an amazing job transforming me for my trial and blew me away with how stunning I looked on my wedding day……I have never felt more beautiful or more like a Queen!!! They made everyone look amazing and feel their absolute best! I am so grateful for Maria and Inga and none of us would have changed anything about our looks. Maria is the best of the best in the industry in our region and I am not only thankful to have had her as my makeup artist but am also thankful to have her as a friend! I highly recommend Southern Belle and trust me when I say, you get what you pay for - they are THE BEST!! Thank you again Maria & Inga!
There's not enough space in this review to say how GREAT Maria and her team are. They made sure that every member of my party was comfortable and satisfied with their hair and makeup, and boy did they deliver! Not only did they make everyone look STUNNING, Maria helped calm a VERY anxious bride, aka me. She's the perfect mix of sass, spunk, and compassion that you'll need on your big day! Don't look anywhere else, Maria has you covered!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Maria and her team. From day 1, Maria made it clear that this day was about me and she’d support that however she could. She was prompt in getting our quote back to us, and when I needed to add a sixth bridesmaid as well as change the date of my trial appointment she did so without hesitation.
Maria truly acted as a friend throughout the whole process. Upon discovering some interesting family dynamics, she stepped up to protect me and enforce my wishes for my wedding aesthetic. She was fun to be around, but efficient and hard working. Her team did an amazing job from start to finish while dealing with a vast array of personalities.
When I got overwhelmed, Inga (who did my hair and makeup) was quick to close the door and bar entry to anyone until I felt ready.
After we left the hotel, Maria and her husband cleaned my hotel room and dropped flower petals and champagne on the bed—at the request of my bridesmaids. She truly went above and beyond on my day.
I will say - some people prefer to hire someone cheaper. And that’s fine, but it’ll show. Maria’s services are top notch from what I’d consider some of the best in the industry. My then-fiancé initially had sticker shock at the quote but since our day, we can categorically say that it was 100% worth every dime. I felt beautiful. My bridesmaids, flower girls, and mom felt beautiful. And everything lasted long after last call—even though I cried like a baby!
If you’re on the fence - do it.
First and most importantly, the hair and makeup is TO DIE FOR. I did my trial with Inga, thank god because she is such a wonderful person. She's funny, chill and really listens to what you want. She offers advice because she really knows best how to highlight your beauty. I couldn't have had a more perfect hair & makeup artist on my wedding day. I don't remember the name of the second artist but she was also amazing! My girls, mom & I looked 20/10!! Such beautiful makeup that was not overkill, I don't love the SUPER glam look but I like a smidge more than soft glam - - they totally delivered. Thank you again for giving myself and my ladies the best hair and makeup for my wedding. And I loved that you got our chill vibes... we had smooth jazz playing most of the morning, just hanging out before all the crazy happened. I loved that we joked & share stories of back in the day life, we definitely vibed well <3
With that said, if you can deal with some of the worst communication I've experienced from a vendor by the owner & assistant, by all means PLEASE BOOK them! You won't be sorry on your wedding day because you will all look stunning.
Communication was just not professional from a business perspective. Emails coming from this email or another one (which I then had to filter on my own & sift through, like I didn't have enough to do lol), me following up on texts, them saying I should book my trial (when I already had the trial done a year prior... i'm sorry what?), contracts having to be redone to honor prices at time of down payment, no response for weeks (like 2-3 months before the wedding day) on the overall look of each bridesmaid hair (each one was different so I had my planner send them a document i created with a photo of each person with the hair style chosen for ease of organization on the big day) & the final hair & makeup timeline for getting ready (SUPER IMPORTANT).
I understand there was stuff going on behind the scenes as everyone has in their own stress, drama, things - - I get it. But, I don't think the customer should be able to tell is all. I did have a phone conversation with Maria way before all this started and she really is a genuinely nice person. I think she may need more help on the business front for organizing communication with brides, final contract dispersement, final details of wedding day getting ready so she's able to give timely, professional responses.
Thankfully, I had a wedding planner to step in & deal with the communication because I don't think I would be able to speak as eloquently as they would.
Overall, I don't regret working with Southern Belle, the outcome was VERY MUCH worth the stress.
Absolute recommend Southern Belle by MariaNoel. They are fabulous! My main artist was Igna. I was excited about my trail run because she did such a good job on my hair and makeup. But on my actually wedding day she KILLED IT. I’m not sure what she did differently but it looks 10x better. I didn’t even know my hair and makeup could look better from trail day! Maria was so quick with response and easy to talk to. A team four came in on wedding day and made the day run on smoothly and on time. It was such a great experience. If I had to do it all over again I’d hire southern belle in a heartbeat.
I was hesitant to hire Southern Belle, because their prices were a bit higher than some other options I was considering. However, I could not be more happy that I hired Maria’s team for my large wedding party. Inga was an absolute angel to work with - her calming energy kept me in such good spirits and she made me look more beautiful than ever in my life. My sister just finished chemo and was very nervous to have her makeup done. She has told me that the chemo treatments made her feel like she lost her beauty. Well let me tell you, Inga gave that back to her. When my sister saw herself in the mirror she welled up with tears, and so did I. It was the most beautiful moment after a really hard year. That meant the world to me. Looking back at the photos of my bridal party, everyone looked absolutely stunning thanks to this company. Worth every freaking penny for my girls to feel so gorgeous. Thank you Southern Belle!!!!
I worked with Maria and Inga to do my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner. Inga was the one that ended up coming to my house (so convenient!) to do my glam. Maria and Inga were absolutely incredible for so many reasons and I will list them.
1. Most importantly- I felt beautiful. In fact, I have never felt so beautiful in my life.
2. They went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate me. Even when we had a small miscommunication, they were sure to fix it without making me have to go out of the way whatsoever. REALLY appreciated that!
3. They made me feel at ease. Of course, your wedding week is one of the most stressful weeks you'll ever experience. Having my hair and makeup done by Inga was the first time that week that I actually got to breath, laugh and just have fun. They are not only talented, but they are hilarious, kind and so comfortable to be around.
4. They listen to what you want. Every step of the way they are making sure that you approve everything- what eye shadow color they are using, the way your hair lays, your contour, everything!
I would highly recommend the hollywood waves, if that is what you are going for! I seriously felt like I was about to go down the red carpet. Also when coming to my style of makeup, we decided to go full glam, which I thought was perfect for my rehearsal dinner! I have never felt so confident and beautiful in my life. Thank you so much to Maria and Inga!
Southern Belle was an absolute LIFESAVER for my wedding! I initially hired another hair and makeup vendor and had an awful experience with my trial and providing feedback on that trial. Luckily, Southern Belle was still available for my wedding date when I had to reevaluate my options.
My trial went off without a hitch and despite doing it first thing in the morning on a humid July day in Savannah, it was still intact by the end of a full day of sightseeing and adventuring around Savannah. This gave me peace of mind that my hair would hold up on my wedding day in November, and it did.
On wedding day, Inga & her team arrived promptly at the time the venue opened, set up quickly, and got to work. They worked very quickly and efficiently and did a great job honoring people's requests. They also worked with a wide variety of hair and skin types, as well as ages (as young as 5) and did an awesome job all around. They were actually flying through people so ahead of schedule I had to call my fiance to bring his daughter earlier than anticipated because they were so time efficient. We finished at least 30 minutes ahead of the projected end time.
The morning of my wedding, it started pouring. I kept my cool but it was clear I was starting to worry about the ceremony. Inga repeatedly checked the radar and assured me it would be fine. She also kept me distracted by having one of the bridesmaids bring me a mimosa and blasting Spice Girls so I couldn't hear the rain! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was in the right headspace on my wedding day.
Everyone was pleased with their results, and mine in particular turned out even better than the trial. It also held up from 1pm until the reception ended around midnight with no issue. I felt absolutely beautiful and she captured the aesthetic I was going for perfectly! Could not be happier with my decision. They are a bit pricier than other local vendors, but the work product speaks for itself and the side by sides between my first trial and the look I got with Southern Belle are a night & day difference in quality.
Inga was INCREDIBLE. She made everyone feel so comfortable and the girls looked beautiful. She is beyond talented and I’m so thankful we got to work with her.
The communication side of the company was a hot mess. I scheduled my trial with the owner for a date when I would be on vacation with my family in GA - drove into Savannah the morning of to realize they never sent a confirmation of the appt and I had no idea where I was going. They then tried to convince me that my appt was the week before and they figured I didn’t show up. Luckily Inga was able to do the trial on short notice. I then received an email and even a phone call a month or so later asking when I wanted to schedule my trial. The lack of organization made me incredibly nervous - luckily everything worked out the day of.
Wow these girls are talented! They did exactly what I asked for and I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup on my big day! My bridesmaids also felt beautiful and glamorous which was very important to me. They do an amazing job at enhancing your natural beauty while also throwing some fun glam into it. HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding day or any event!
Emily and Natalie with SBBMN were outstanding. They were not only amazing at the hair and makeup, and made me feel beautiful on my big day, but they were extremely personable and fun. They made such an amazing experience for me!
What a Blast we had getting ready for my daughter’s wedding. Southern Belle by MariaNoel provided the makeup and hair services for the ladies in the wedding party to include moms of the Bride and Groom. Having to arrive at the venue at 7am to start the process made for a long day – but Maria, along with Elisa and Emily, really helped make the process fun! All three were patient and friendly as they did an amazing job on our makeup and hair. They were laughing right along with us as we listened to some great music, enjoying our time together. I highly recommend Southern Belle by MariaNoel. We couldn’t have been happier with the results and Maria, Elisa, and Emily made our day just a little bit sweeter.
Maria and her team are the absolute best! They made myself and my bridal party feel absolutely gorgeous. We felt so beautiful and were blessed to get to know Maria and her team. We constantly talk about how beautiful our hair and makeup were on my wedding day and wish we could replicate! Hands down they are the best hair and makeup artists I have ever seen and you should book asap as they are the go-to for hair and makeup!
This review is a little overdue, but Maria and Inga were absolutely amazing to work with! Our wedding was postponed 2 times due to Covid, but my husband and I were finally able to celebrate at our original venue with all of our family and friends in the spring of this year. Maria worked with me every step up the way, through bookings, postponements and rebookings. She did whatever she could to work with me on dates and pricing and was completely professional but also so amazing to work with and easy going at the same time. Inga did my bridal trial more than two years before what ended up being my actual big day, also so professional and incredibly talented but she gave me her honest opinion and feedback at the same time. I was so confident in her skill set and knowledge that I didn’t even feel the need to do another trial even though I went from wearing my hair down to up. She absolutely crushed it. Danielle and Emily were also part of the “day of” team and were fantastic. My daughter was 4, my best friend was 7 months pregnant and feeling every minute of it, and my mom, who I was most concerned about- she never wears makeup and has had a lot of skin cancer issues- but everyone was comfortable and felt and looked amazing. I would absolutely recommend Maria and the team for your beauty needs.
Don't even think twice, just book Southern Belle by Maria Noel. They are professional, prompt and organized. But more than that passionate and just fun to be with.
As the mother of the bride I entrusted their experience and I've honestly never felt prettier.
Maria and her team are THE BEST at what they do; they take their job seriously, get constant training to improve even more and are truly so talented!! They really want you to be happy, confident and look your best!
Maria and Inga did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot, trial and then wedding. They are so fun, bring great music, ring lights, every kind and color of makeup and hair tools imaginable and make you feel to relaxed, like hanging out with old friends. They looked at my outfits, asked what style I preferred, if I had any inspo and gave great advice for my hair type and that Georgia humidity! When I looked in the mirror…OMG I’ve never looked better!!! Makeup was PERFECT! Maria is a perfectionist and will make sure your makeup is spot on when she’s finished! I never wear my hair up and Inga did an unbelievable job with a party pony. I was so obsessed. Any time I had questions or needed anything, they were very helpful and responsive too. We tried a different look for my trial (at my request) and they helped me when trying to decide which to go with for the wedding. They can truly do whatever style makeup and hair you want and make it look amazing!!
I had some people who were very hesitant about getting their hair and makeup done. Maria and her team really listen to what you want and everyone ended up loving their looks. And, they lasted the entire day through the after party!!!
Also want to note that they use great products and new sponges on everyone! I have extremely sensitive skin and never broke out from anything they used (which has happened every other time I’ve gotten my makeup done in the past)!
There is nobody else I would trust to do my hair and makeup on my big day. Absolutely book them for your wedding, they are TOP NOTCH!!!!
There is no one else I think could have pulled off my wedding day like Southern Belle by Maria Noel did. I asked for sleek modern bridesmaids, and I had a fashion pony with extensions - they all turned out FLAWLESS. Don't get me started on the makeup, they airbrushed my girls to perfection. I was very concerned about my blemishes - you would never have known I had any issues! I was beyond happy with the services provided, I would recommend 10000 times over for any Bride!
Maria Noel is simply the best there is! She and her team were so talented and did a phenomenal job on our makeup. I sought her out because of her ability to tailor her makeup style to every client she works on. Everyone's makeup (including the men in my party) fit them perfectly. She can work with any skin tone and any bone structure. Her team also did our hair and it was all stunning. Not to mention, they were such a calming and reassuring presence while getting ready for the big day. They can handle anything and are worth going out of your way to book for your big day.
I had the best hair and make up experience with Southern Belle. The moms and my girlfriends absolutely loved their hair and make up that Kim & Inga did. Inga did my hair and make up for the big day. They both were extremely professional, on time, friendly, listened to what everyone wanted and shared great tips and ideas. Maria Noel was also very responsive when it came to planning and booking. I highly recommend booking Southern Belle for your wedding day!
Southern Belle came through with 5 Stars+. They were contacted 24 hours before the Wedding..... Maria and her team immediately jumped on Board..... The Staff was BEAUTIFIL AND EQUALLY AS TALENTED.
The entire Wedding Party walked down the isle Heads up and BEAMING. Beautiful HAPPY BRIDAE PARTY.
THANK YOU Southern Belle.
