I had the absolute greatest experience with Stephanie and her team for my wedding! I wanted glam but to still feel like myself, and they did just that. I am over the moon with how I looked, my hair and makeup lasted me all day and through the night, and the girls were just SO MUCH FUN to spend my wedding morning with. I will be using them for any glam needs I may have in the future. Cannot recommend enough!! xoxo

I have been a bridesmaid with the SNMH team 9 times so it was a no brainer to chose this team was the easiest decision I made for my own big day!! I have had several of the artists work with me over the years and have always loved every bit of my makeup & hair. They are all so kind, so talented, and so fun!! Literally no need to look elsewhere, these girls are the best!

Stephanie Nelson was amazing! She was able to make my hair and makeup perfect on Wedding Day, despite me not having time for a trial due to work. She was such a calming presence and made me feel beautiful on a very important day!
I also want to point out the fact that one of her makeup artists had a medical emergency that morning and she sent not one but TWO artists in her place to ensure everything went smoothly! Truly professional!

LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE these ladies! I had four artists to help us get ready, Stephanie, Christiana, Macey, and Sheridan and let me tell you - these girls are so incredibly talented! They showed up early, set up in lightening speed, and knocked it out of the park for every single person in my group (and let me tell ya - we are some picky gals!) Stephanie also helped in building our full day of timeline when our coordinators we dropping the ball. Stephanie always made sure I felt supported and that I didn't need to stress, what a blessing!! I could rave forever about this team, but do your self a favor and just hire them!

I had a fabulous experience with the Stephanie Nelson team for my wedding in December 2022. Victoria was a dream to work with on makeup, and Christina on hair - I cannot recommend these ladies enough! The trial was a must, especially if you're indecisive like me. We had time to iron out details and collaborate to find the best look for me. The actual wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. The team worked like a quiet symphony while I enjoyed my family & friends getting to soak up all the minutes of my special day! The cherry on top was finishing a little early which allowed more time for pictures with my girls!

Victoria was the lead for my wedding day and she was so wonderful to work with! My trial appointment was the best experience because she actually took the time to listen to me, what I wanted, and then shared her expertise. The wedding day turned out beautifully, and every single person absolutely loved their makeup & hair. Thank you Victoria!!!!

I cannot thank my artists enough (Stephanie and Christiana) for making me feel like an actual model on my wedding day. Hair and makeup was one of the things I was the most nervous about because I don't wear much and have no clue how to do it myself, but this is why you hire the pro's! They were so welcoming to feedback, they executed the inspiration images perfectly, they educated me on why I should maybe try something different (like the lashes - just do it ladies!!), and to top it off they were so incredibly kind. I am beyond grateful I invested in this service, and this team!

Stephanie and her team were absolutely incredible! I have had the pleasure of interacting with them as a bride but also a bridesmaid for another wedding and both experiences were amazing. All of their artists are not only so talented but extremely warm, welcoming and kind. Stephanie made me feel like my most beautiful self for both my bridals and my wedding day. She executed the look I wanted perfectly. I would love to use them again for any events I may need them for as well as I will be recommending them to all my friends!

Let me first say, I am a type A bride - some may say a bit high maintenance lol! So every vendor I worked with had to be the absolute best and I can promise that you will not find anyone better than Stephanie and her team. I had been in a wedding that used them previously and absolutely fell in love with the detail and preparations they go into to make sure the day of is spot on. That is a HUGE reason I chose them immediately! The team showed up early, set up quickly, kept perfectly on schedule (even when I had a minor snafu I had to tend to with the florist!), and did it all with such grace and professionalism. Then of course every single person in my group from my flower girls (which they handled so sweetly) to my bridesmaids and moms AND grandmothers looked flawless. Thank you so much Stephanie and team for setting the tone for how wonderful my special day was!

I cannot recommend Stephanie Nelson Makeup enough! I had Victoria and Christiana as my artists, and they were so so good!! Victoria's personality and skill was incredible & she kept the group excited and upbeat all morning! And Christiana was an absolute treasure!! She was such a calm energy that was so refreshing during all the nerves a bride can experience! The team was on time, so professional, and finished a little earlier which gave me extra time with my photographer! Look no further than this group of ladies, they are THE BEST <3

I was previously a bridesmaid in a wedding where my friend worked with Stephanie and her team and I knew I had to work with her too. Throughout working with Stephanie's team they were always very responsive and so organized. I had my trial and wedding hair/ makeup done with Stephanie and she is so good at making your vision come to life. She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. All my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG loved their hair/ makeup done by her team as well. I highly recommend working with Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair for your wedding day!

Started off with great communication then it was like they fell off the face of the earth. I paid my deposit of an Est $500 for this company to be at my wedding to do hair for myself and my bridesmaids. After the deposit was paid, they never responded to my emails. I sent them emails repeatedly and left voicemails, nothing was ever returned. I would not recommend this business for your wedding.

THE. BEST. TEAM. EVER! I have been a bridesmaid in 9 other weddings that used Stephanie and her team so obviously when I got engaged she was one of the first vendors we booked! As one of the last of my friends to get married I knew finding vendors I trusted and clicked with was the most important thing and that's exactly what you'll get with Stephanie and anyone on her team! Every single artist I've ever had from her team listened to my request and executed the looks perfectly. I can't wait to find a reason to call them up for another glam sesh in the future!

We LOVE Stephanie and her team. Stephanie and her team did hair and make up at my cousin's wedding March 6, 2020 and I said she will be doing mine at my wedding one day. Fast forward to getting engaged a year and a half later and she was the first vendor I booked. Stephanie and her team did AMAZING on our wedding day June 10, 2022 and exceeded all expectations. They know how to make every woman look beautiful.

She responded quickly until I accidentally let my contract expire. She sent it to me at 7:45PM on the 8th and it was due on the 10th. I logged in on the 10th to sign it and it was already voided. I tried to call and email to explain that I thought I had until the end of the 10th to sign and pay. I never heard back from her. Luckily my wedding is 6 months away and I had time to find someone else.

I had the BEST experience working with Stephanie and her crew! We had a mixed Hindu and Western-style wedding and Stephanie and her crew did such a great job for MULTIPLE events and look changes throughout our wedding weekend. I was SO SO impressed when I was telling Stephanie how I usually didn't like when I got my makeup done because my eyes always creased and she mentioned she would try some other technique. I literally don't know what she did, but I've had my makeup done A TON of times over the years and this is the first time I didn't have creases and my makeup had that super natural look while still being flawless. I was FLOORED. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie and her crew to anyone! Thank you!

Stephanie and her team are awesome at what they do! This was the vendor I was most particular about because I’ve been in several weddings where the HAMU team was subpar. I absolutely loved my final look and all my girls looked stunning. Unfortunately, Stephanie had an emergency the night before my wedding and was not able to do my make-up. I wasn’t even worried because I knew her team was that good. Daniela stepped in and did an incredible job! Also need to give a shout-out to Ashley their booking coordinator. She is so pleasant and quick to respond. Highly recommend!

My daughter hired Stephanie and her team for her April 2022 wedding. We had 12 ladies getting both hair and makeup done. Stephanie's team showed up and worked very efficiently to get all of he ladies looking gorgeous. I felt beautiful when they were done with me. I was told by several guest how beautiful all the bridesmaids looked. I highly recommend Stephanie Nelson and her team.

Stephanie Nelson and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! From my hair/makeup trial to the wedding day, everything went extremely smoothly. Stephanie is such a fun person to chat to while having hair and makeup done, and she had an amazing sense for the kind of look I was going for, even though I didn't have quite the right words to describe it myself. Stephanie and her entire team are extremely detail-oriented and work very hard to make sure each detail is exactly right for the client. Stephanie was completely open to feedback and minor tweaks on the wedding day based on how my hair and makeup wore after my trial, and I absolutely LOVED my final look! I cannot recommend Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair enough!!!

Stephanie and her team were absolutely AMAZING!! Prior to the wedding, they got back to me very quickly with any questions I had and made me feel so comfortable during my trial. The day of the wedding, my girls and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and beautiful! All the HMUA were so easy to work with and made us laugh, making the morning so enjoyable. They were on time and made sure each girl looked exactly how she wanted. I couldn’t have felt more beautiful the day of my wedding! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Stephanie!!

If you want professionals - these ladies are it! I will admit, I did not see the need for pro beauty on the wedding day bc I like the way I do my own & it's something I enjoy doing. From the get go, Ashley (the booking manager), never pushed me to add my services in & understood it would be just bridesmaids + moms. WELL I was in a wedding a few weeks before mine and Stephanie & her team were the artists for our makeup & hair!! Once she did my makeup & Christina did my hair that was it! I was so surprised that my makeup could look so natural, but glam, last all night, and that the hairstylist nailed my request! That next morning I emailed Ashley and asked for my services to be added right in and it was the best decision ever!!

Love love love that I had SN on my vendor team for my big day! The girls arrived early, set up allllll the things, brought lights knowing the hotel room we were in was not the best for natural light, and knocked it out of the park! Everyone - including my *slightly* picky grandmother - loved their makeup & hair! Stephanie made sure the girls all looked cohesive and matched my vision of soft glam! Can't wait to find a reason to get glammed up again!

Victoria was my artist and anyone that has met her will tell you that she is such a light in this world + her talent is incredible!! Ashley, the teams manager was very responsive and thorough with every single question (which was a lot!) that I had - especially with as crazy of a year that my wedding vendors had! We are thankful we hired this crew, and you will be too!!

*this review is not based on wedding services**
Stephanie and her crew truly are the best! I’ve had my hair and make up done by them for two different weddings, and family photos. I have referred multiple people to her as well. It honestly saddens me to write this review, as Stephanie was one of my favorite vendors that I thought had become a friend. I reached out to Stephanie via her website back in August to try and book a session for family portraits in November. After trying to reach out via her website 3 times with no response, I emailed her directly multiple times. No response there either. I then tried reaching out to her via instagram. No response. I tried calling her and texting her. No response. As a last effort, I reached out to one of her employees who I am friends with on instagram. They told me they would let Stephanie know I was trying to get in touch with her. No response. At this point I honestly just became worried about her, and wanted to make sure she was ok. I sent a message checking in on her. No response. I ended up doing my own makeup for my session, which was fine, but I have been very hurt and confused by the straight up silence. If you’re booked, let me know. If for some reason you no longer want me as a client, let me know. But it’s just unprofessional to straight up not respond, leaving me very confused and honestly hurt. I even had sent her a message via Instagram back in the summer telling her I would be reaching out soon to book! She responded and said, “I would love to see you.” I have debated leaving this review for weeks now, because Stephanie and her people truly do amazing work and I have always loved them!

I was happy with the result, but the day-of assistance could've been better.
My makeup artist was Victoria and she was amazing! When I showed her what style I had wanted, she was able make it happen in a very quick amount of time. She deserves all the props and I hope they treat her well!
There were two big issues I had that made me not give 5 stars:
1. Communication: I would have preferred dire communication with my assigned artist, but had to email/call with a middle person instead. This was very concerning when I continued to reach out & heard nothing from anyone until 3 weeks out from the wedding (I know this isn't a real issue with others, but I had a lot of questions & I wanted to be prepared to provide whatever they needed). I finally got ahold of the owner (Stephanie) using her social media to reach out. Turns out not only did they have some issues with their emailing system but their communication rep who answered emails was out with COVID. The owner was able to answer my questions & we were set for the day.
On the day, the artists did their work very well & thorough. I was happy with how my bridesmaids looked. But I was told that one of the artists would be staying a little longer to help with last minute touchups for photos & before the ceremony. However, they all left at the same time, which normally wouldn't've upset me but my hair needed some major touchups after our pre-ceremony pictures.
Overall, the ladies performed the tasks well but the professionalism could have been much better.

Stephanie and her team are a MUST HIRE for your wedding day. They make my type A heart so happy. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where Stephanie Nelson’s team did MUAH, and I knew I had to have them for my own wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful and got exactly what they asked for. They ask everyone for inspiration photos and general hair/makeup questions and are very prepared morning of. We got done on time and there was no rush. PLUS her team are all so friendly and you can tell they love working together. I would not hesitate to use them again and would hire in an instant!

I knew Stephanie was the right choice for me after our trial run a few months before the wedding. She carefully listened to my preferences and helped create the perfect look I was going for. She is so sweet, caring, and made me feel so at ease. Thank you, Stephanie and team!

She was flexible when we needed to postpone our wedding at the height of COVID and that was such a big relief. Her team was also so responsive to emails which was so appreciated! I absolutely loved my look for my rehearsal and wedding day, and bridesmaids and moms were very happy as well! Stephanie is so calm and easy to get along with, you really feel like your friend is just doing your hair and makeup! You definitely want her to be a part of your wedding day or any special event!

Stephanie and her team are absolutely wonderful to work with. I have hated my hair/makeup anytime I’ve gotten it done professionally so I was nervous about having it done for my wedding. As soon as I met Stephanie at my trial I knew I was in good hands! She and her team are easy to work with and truly take into account what you ask for. They are thorough in understanding your skin and hair type and using the best products for you! Stephanie is also hilarious and such a joy to be around, and the team helped us have so much fun the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids all loved their looks too, and we got so many compliments!!! My sister was my maid of honor and loved everything about the experience working with Stephanie that she hired them for her wedding this fall (and I can’t wait to work with her again!!!!)

Stephanie and her team are incredible! They are super friendly, helpful, amazing at what they do, and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else for my hair and makeup needs for my big day. When Stephanie finished my hair and makeup and had me take a look at it, I was overcome with emotion, I really can't describe it other than to say I felt like I was in a fairy tale looking at her art. Her team was great with my Bridesmaids, sister in law, and my flower girls, they made us feel pampered and beautiful. Seriously look no further, and book this team.

Just wanted to speak on one of my favorite vendors of our entire day. Not only did Stephanie go above and beyond to make my vision come to life and ensure that I felt like a princess, but her and her crew were genuinely excited to be there with us. The conversation didn’t stop flowing and for the few hours they were there I was at total ease. Oh, and did I mention they totally ROCKED each and every style? From purple glitter to twisted updos they made each and every girl feel like a princess. If you’re looking for hair and makeup for any event, call Stephanie!

During the length of my engagement - I did 9 hair & makeup trials with other artists, not including hair & makeup for other events. I did 2 hair trials & 1 makeup trial with SN.
Let’s just say - my hair does not hold a curl, my hair is very fine, very healthy, and very silky straight - and my hair plays hard to get. I struggled trial after trial to get my hair to hold the style for more than 3 hours without looking like I had completely fallen apart, my hair would just straighten itself out, and I looked like I spent days inside of a wind tunnel. What I’ve learned is, there are alot of hair/makeup teams out there - almost anyone can do a photoshoot, but you really want a professional team well versed in bridal for the day of your wedding - if you want your look to last all day.
When I reached out to SN with my list of questions- they responded quickly, all questions answered, and with an estimated preliminary styling timeline. I booked a trial, with whomever was available! Then what stood out from the beginning was when - I sent SN a massive google drive of styles that I liked/considered, she responded without hesitation AND said “can we change your trial date, I have 2 lead artists (Daniela & Victoria) that best fit your style and to make sure we nail the look you’re going for”. This attention to detail from the get go, is what you want from a styling team - and who you want touching your head on your big day. After our hair trials, I emailed them with any of my last minute concerns and Stephanie addressed them quickly and honestly with what efforts the team would put in so my hair would possibly behave and I could achieve the style my heart desired, but also the reality of having difficult hair. Day of the wedding - I went with hair down, and on the day of the wedding with their hair prep methods - my hair HELD 7am to 1am, my hair curls were bouncy, and frizz free! My hair was FLAWLESS from every angle. My makeup was amazing as well, Victoria took the time to understand my skin type and where my oily spots were and where my sensitive zones were and prepped my skin - then applied makeup strategically. I felt comfortable in my hair and makeup all day - I looked high end glam, but also normal in person, and the makeup would photograph well!
Your hair and makeup team is the first vendor you see the day of your wedding, they are the first ones you spend time with - they set the precedent for your day. They are a great group of women ready to hang out and work hard for you! Day of the wedding they were on time, we had fun, they finished ahead of schedule, I felt relaxed, I never felt rushed, and everyone (myself, moms, and the girls) felt cared for. I really appreciate that they took the time - 1. to make sure my mom looked amazing, and that she was comfortable and not stressed out 2. to make sure every person was comfortable with their whole look.
Daniela, Victoria, Stephanie, & hair assistant -
Thank you for making me the most radiant glamorous version of myself the day of my wedding- from the time y’all left to the end of the night!

The BEST stylists to work with! So funny, relaxing, easy-going and amazing at what they do. Not only did was I, as the bride, just taken aback at how great I looked, but all of bridesmaids said they never felt they had ever looked so good before! The full team at Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair is extremely easy to work with and are very responsive to any questions. They help you choose a style that fits your personality, but also that works best with your face/hair. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did and how fun they were to work with!
p.s. When you get those day-of jitters, Stephanie also knows how to calm you down and make you feel extremely reassured. :)

Stephanie and her team are ROCKSTARS!!!! I went to her for my bridals as well as my rehearsal look and wedding day! I felt like an absolute princess and loved my look every time!!! They were so easy to work with, and made sure that all of my bridesmaids and mothers' looks were on point!! I have very fine thin hair, but had hair extensions to add in, although my extensions were slightly a different color than my hair, Stephanie and Victoria made sure my braids and updo flowed well with my hair color and gave me the exact look I was hoping for! I would absolutely choose them over and over again!!!

Stephanie and her team are wonderful. I had her do my bridal portrait, wedding day, and newlywed shoot hair and makeup and it was exact. My hair and makeup held all night, not a single drop of hair. I loved her pre survey for the bridal party to stay on time and keep us organized. She is truly one of a kind and made me feel so comfortable and special. I will use her for all future events!

This team of artists is truly the best of the best! Daniella did my bridal portrait hair and make up and my hair and make up for my wedding day and she was FABULOUS! Understood my vision and executed it perfectly and used her amazing talents to make it more than I could dream of. She is a delight to be around and is a master in her craft! Loved every minute with her! Victoria did my rehearsal dinner hair and make up and did a fantastic job!! She truly made me feel and look like a celebrity! She is so much fun and is a true artist! The rest of the team who did hair and make up for my bridesmaids were killer as well. Each girl looked like a movie star when the SN team was done with them. We had the greatest time getting ready with the artists - they were all so fun and energetic! The communication, scheduling and payment structure was so simple and took all the stress out of planning. This team is one of a kind and I would recommend them to anyone I meet!!

Working with SN Makeup & hair was an absolute pleasure! I had my hair & make up trial with Stephanie and it was clear she loves her job and wants the bride to be happy! Sitting in the chair for over 2 hours could be weird, but Stephanie is so personable, it was an enjoyable time!
Stephanie and her 2 other artists came to our hotel in Plano the morning of the wedding, brought all of their equipment, were very early, very polite, and most importantly did a fantastic job! We had myself, my mom, my MIL, MOH, and 4 bridesmaids all get done - and everyone loved how they looked. We made it a point to leave it to the experts (SN and team) and they exceeded all expectations. They stayed ahead of schedule the whole morning and had ample time for touch ups before we left for the venue. My hair and makeup stayed until the next evening when I finally put in the effort to take out my 58 bobby pins! I'm sure it all would've stayed perfect for another 48 hours if I left it!
Highly recommend to all brides!
Thank you!

Stephanie & her crew did an absolutely amazing job!! We had a morning full of hair and make up services for my bridal party of 7 as well as the mother of the groom. Stephanie and her girls were punctual, professional, and FUN! It was such an awesome morning getting ready with them. As a bride, I felt relaxed and confident with them there. All of my bridesmaids (and MOG) loved their hair and make up, and continued to make positive comments throughout the day and night. I could not have been happier with my bridal hair & make up. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair for any hair & makeup services you may need- especially wedding day services!

As someone who is very particular with their hair and makeup, I was skeptical about even hiring a makeup artist but boy let me tell you I am SO glad I have Stephanie a chance! Not only does she go above and beyond what you ask for, but she is is THE easiest person to get along with! She and her team made my wedding day so easy and obviously beautiful! She is a heaven sent and is a 100% necessity if you want your hair and makeup to last until the wee hours of the morning after your wedding!! Thank you so much Stephanie for making me feel absolutely beautiful every time you did my hair and makeup!!

Stephanie and her crew are amazing. They are so easy to work with and you always have a good time with them. From the trials, to the day of hair and make up, every little detail is precise. They make you feel like Beyoncé when you’re done. For the wedding, my hair was perfect, everything I could have asked for. My curls didn’t fall and it didn’t feel crunchy with hairspray, I felt like a goddess. My make up was flawless, I stayed on ALL DAY, even through eating and a little teary- eyes. I didn’t look washed out or orange and Stephanie highlighted all my best features to really make he look amazing. My bridesmaid and momma’s looked amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better glam squad

I used Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair because they did my friend's wedding hair and makeup and they looked FLAWLESS. Stephanie did my engagement photos and I looked beautiful and totally natural. I had Daniella for my wedding day and my trials. She was a blast to hangout with and made our time together really fun! I was amazed in my trial when I showed her a brief picture of what I was thinking and she delivered to a T. On my wedding day her and the rest of the team were on time, produced beautiful looks and made sure everything was seamless. It was totally perfection and I loved working with them. I would highly highly recommend!

Stephanie Nelson was a great choice for our wedding! They were very responsive to emails, even during the busy fall wedding season. We got married on 11.3.18 and had about 15 people total getting hair and makeup done. The organization was unparalleled. Ashley (booking manager) worked with me to create a custom quote to book and then a timeline/schedule to accommodate our big group and location change. Ashlee (makeup artist for me and my mom (MOB)) was AMAZING. We both did hair & makeup trials with her, and she put us at ease immediately. On the day of the wedding, Ashlee and the other 3 artists were patient, efficient, and so kind. Ashlee took the time to make sure I was 100% confident and happy with my hair and makeup before walking down the aisle. We are so happy we booked with them. They are a wonderful team and do beautiful hair and makeup!

Stephanie is amazing. I have a ton of curly/wavy hair, and I wanted a fun messy up do. I was so nervous that it was going to be heavy or she wouldn't be able to get it done in the amount of time we had. She exceeded my expectations. My hair and make up looked amazing and way better than I pictured. She made me feel so comfortable through the trial and on my wedding day. My hair did not fall out all night! Thank you Stephanie and the rest of her team for making me feel and look amazing on my wedding day!

Stephanie Nelson and her team were so great to work with! Stephanie even set up an extra make up trial when I wanted some changes after my first one, and included a fourth artist on my wedding day to make sure I was taken care of. They came in like an army on the wedding day with all their supplies and chairs and lighting and they were also so fun to hang out with while we all got ready! The team of 4 got 8 of us wedding ready in under 3 hours. The bridesmaids continually remarked all night how it was the best wedding hair and make up they've ever had. And the make up and hair stayed in place ALL NIGHT!! They even gave me a bag of blotting papers and lipstick and lip gloss to use throughout the night. They were professional, friendly, helpful, and did a beautiful job!

This team was amazing!! Prompt, professional, fun, flexible, and most importantly, FABULOUS at their job! I truly felt incredibly special and like their number one priority. Stephanie honestly wanted my feedback and made any changes (little or big) that I asked of her, and when one of my bridesmaids had to drop out last minute (complicated pregnancy), her team made that transition so smooth and worry-free. Looking and feeling beautiful on your wedding day is obviously a huge part in having a great event, and this team knocked it out of the park! All my bridesmaids and the mothers loved being pampered by them as well. I highly recommend this team!

The ladies who worked on my bridesmaids,MOB and MOG were fantastic too. EVERYONE'S hair and makeup looked gorgeous all day and throughout the night, I was so so happy with how it turned out.

This company is awesome! Our stylists were Bree, Victoria, and Amanda. They were amazing. Victoria did my bridal hair and makeup, and it stayed all night. They were very receptive to the style of each girl, but they also made sure to do what they knew was best. We allotted four hours to get six people done, and we were done much earlier than expected.
