SW Beauty LLC

Shelby & her team did my and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. They were amazing! Everyone’s hair came out absolutely perfect. My hair lasted throughout the entire night & it was exactly how I wanted it. I couldn’t recommend Shelby more🤍

Bridal hair and makeup with Shelby was one of the best decisions I could've made. Shelby was attentive to my request for a more natural makeup look and I never felt more beautiful. Shelby and her team stayed ahead of schedule on the wedding day & all my bridesmaids hair/makeup was complete with leftover time for photos. Shelby even waited an extra 30 minutes or so for my 'getting ready' photos to be finished before helping me place my veil. SW Beauty was super easy going and 100% okay with my dog asking for pets the entire morning. Highly recommend this adaptable, communicative, and professional team of hair and makeup artists.

Shelby and Chantel did the hair for myself and my wedding party and they did an amazing job! Shelby was great at communicating throughout the wedding planning process! She showed up on time and even finished ahead of schedule on the wedding day! Everyone’s hair looked beautiful and stayed in place all night. Don’t hesitate to book with Shelby !

Shelby is so talented and I am so happy that I chose to work with her. She did such an amazing job on my wedding day hair and was so sweet throughout the entire process.

Shelby was amazing on our wedding day. I'm usually nervous about having my make up done because I typically don't wear any. Shelby did a perfect job of giving me just enough glamour and shimmer without being too overpowering. It also can be hard to find a makeup artist who can execute makeup well on people with asian features - our eyes can look too droopy or the foundation doesn't match our complexion. I didn't have any of these problems with Shelby! I chose glamour waves for my hair which requires a lot of technique and Shelby highly exceeded my expectations. Even though I got married in the rain, my makeup stayed perfect. Shelby is so easy to talk to and definitely helped calm my nerves the morning of. Shelby and her makeup artist were also great with my mom and mother in law. Highly recommend Shelby for your wedding!

Shelby is simply THE BEST. From the moment I connected with her and especially after meeting her at my trial, I knew she was the hair stylist for me. Not only is Shelby extremely talented and amazing at everything she does, but she is very professional, welcoming, and flexible. She truly cares about each and every one of her brides and will make you feel at ease throughout your whole planning process. Also, not to mention, she is so fun to talk to and be around! I am the luckiest bride to have found her. Shelby, you truly made my wedding hair dreams come true and made me feel so beautiful!!! You were a big part of the most special day of my life and I am so grateful for you. Also, my mom and all my bridesmaids loved their hair!! Everyone looked absolutely stunning (shoutout to Brianna as well!!). Choosing Shelby will be the best decision!

Shelby and her team were great! During the trial I wanted natural, then come the day of I changed my mind and went full glam. Shelby is truly an artist and was able to switch my look with ease. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup. If I could give her 6 stars I would.

Shelby is amazing and if you need a hair stylist for any event she is the one you want to book. She instantly took away any anxiety I had with her knowledge and professionalism. Shelby has done my hair many times before for my friends weddings & it was finally my turn to be the bride. She gave me the pony tail of my dreams and I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day!!!! And my bridesmaids looked drop dead gorgeous. Book her ASAP!!!

I had the BEST experience with Shelby! She brought my vision to life and really made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and myself were very impressed. She’s very personable and cares about her work.

I could not have been happier to have Shelby and her team for my wedding day! They did the most amazing job and everyone looked so beautiful. I have been in a lot of wedding parties and always would feel I needed to touch up my own make up after I got it done, but certainly not with Shelby! My hair and make up was perfection and lasted all night!

Book with Shelby! She is such a talented hair stylist. I instantly felt comfortable with her from the moment we met for my hair trial. She made the hair of my dreams come to life. All of my bridesmaids LOVED their hair. Everyone looked stunning. She is very responsive as well whenever I emailed her. She helped me get organized with a time schedule. She was very easy to work with and flexible! You will not regret it if you book with her! 🤍

Shelby is a freaking rock star! She made us all feel our absolute best and was such a calming presence the day of. She is truly a pro and we would book her again in a heartbeat!

Shelby is an absolute rockstar! I have never looked or felt so pretty in my life. My makeup was flawless! What I love about Shelby’s style is how she does the “natural” look to enhance your beauty but still have you look like yourself. My hair came out amazing - I received so many compliments and truly felt like the best version of myself. One of my favorite vendors to work with and would highly recommend!

Shelby is the absolute best! When I had my hair trial, I absolutely loved it but was having second thoughts so Shelby squeezed me in for a second trial before my wedding! My hair looked even better than I thought it could on my actual wedding day! My mom and mother-in-law also loved how they looked. It made for a very stress-free morning and I highly recommend you book Shelby! You're the best! <3

Shelby was wonderful! She and her team did an amazing job on my and my mothers hair and makeup on the day of the wedding. I can't recommend her enough!

Shelby was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to and on my wedding day. My hair and makeup looked flawless. She uses the best quality products, palettes, and it held perfectly all day. Blended, flawless, & glam. I have had my makeup done by many makeup artists and Shelby was without a question the very best. I had full confidence in her team and never once stressed. My family absolutely loved her work. Shelby is amazing, kind, and beyond professional. The BEST in the RI wedding hair and makeup industry.

If I could rate 10 stars I would!!! Shelby and her team were absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. My hair and makeup was flawless and lasted all day despite rain and wind! MOB and all bridesmaids were so thrilled with the final looks and looked stunning. I cannot recommend Shelby enough. Thank you for everything!!

Shelby was incredible!! I cannot thank her and her team enough! My hair was amazing and held up perfectly despite crazy Newport winds, and all my bridesmaids were SO happy with how their hair turned out. Can't recommend her enough!

Amazing team! Shelby is an incredible professional and always makes sure to have the same high standard with the other people she brings to her team. She is so fun and easy to feel comfortable around. All of the ladies looked absolutely beautiful and felt gorgeous thanks to them! Shelby kept everything on time and easy throughout the getting ready process. So happy to have her to keep us stunning on the big day!

It was such a joy working with Shelby. I found her on instagram in a tagged post and booked a trial right away. I never had my makeup professionally done before, so the trail was a great experience and I felt so beautiful after. Closer to my wedding date, I decided to do another hair trial because I finally had my dress and felt I should go in a different direction with my hair style. Both trials were great. Shelby was very attentive to any changes or slight adjustments that I requested. On the big day, I felt so beautiful. Shelby has the ability to make a bride feel calm and also secure in their hair/makeup choices on a day where stress is inevitably very high. There was also a COVID issue with another wedding where Shelby had to help another bride because her artist tested positive. Shelby handled the situation incredibly professionally and still made me feel like her main attention for that day. I think it shows how well she can handle a stressful situation while also providing support to other hair/makeup artists if they are in need. The team that Shelby brought with her were also amazing. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all looked flawless. It was a great experience and I'm so glad I found her!

Shelby was an absolute pleasure to work with for my January wedding! I was so nervous about picking the right Hair & MU artist and Shelby did not disappoint. I had 2 trials to try some different hair styles and Shelby was great in helping me decide on a look for the wedding. Day of, Shelby and her team were amazing and my hair & makeup lasted all day. I would hire Shelby again in a heartbeat!

Shelby was my hair and make up stylist for my wedding in 2017. She is very dedicated to her trade and her brides. seriously, she was leaving for vacation the day of my wedding and still showed up for me! Not only did she show up, but she did not rush and made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. I have kept her as my stylist for coloring and cuts since then and honestly will never leave! Also worth mentioning…. I had 3 hair and make up trials before finding her on Instagram. when I first met her she was so welcoming and made the whole experience comfortable. She’s an expert at what she does - book her, you won’t be disappointed!

When I got engaged, I knew I wanted Shelby to glam me for my wedding day! I have known Shelby for years and was very familiar with her beautiful work. She is very intuitive and always listens to how you want to look and feel. For my wedding day, I wanted to feel like me, and that was extremely important. I don’t wear makeup usually and I am a very much a homebody. Shelby was very receptive to this and completely understood what I was looking for. Ultimately, I could not have been happier with how I looked on the big day! In addition, Shelby, and her team, did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and family members and everyone’s looks turned out beautifully. We were all so impressed and happy with the results. I cannot say enough good things about SW Beauty and would recommend Shelby her services to anyone!

Shelby is amazing! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My hair and makeup was flawless all day, even after a night of heavy dancing! Shelby and her team were great with every member of my bridal party, they all looked stunning, including my 85 year old nana! Shelby was even able to help out my husband who was self conscious about his rosacea. Every step of the process was smooth and I can't thank Shelby and her team enough.

Shelby, without you I couldn’t have been my most glam self on our most special day. We had a daytime wedding and even though Shelby is located out of state she made sure myself, my mother, and mother-in-law were ready right on schedule. I’m so fortunate to have gotten to work with Shelby for our prohibition-themed engagement party, garden-centric bridal shower, and industrial loft wedding. Whether it was ‘40s inspired retro waves with a red lip or a soft glam half-updo, Shelby nailed the aesthetic. We all felt like the best version of ourselves and my fiancé cried when he saw me walk down the aisle.

Shelby is absolutely amazing! She's so professional and does great work! All of my bridesmaids and MOB MOG loved their hair!

Okay, Shelby is truly the BEST! If your looking for hair and make up look no further! She can bring any vision to life. Updos, old Hollywood waves, beach waves, braids, dramatic make up, natural makeup, anything! She is so talented and I absolutely felt beautiful on my wedding. I went for a natural glow and light eye make up and a low and loose up do! Not only was I thrilled with my hair and make up, but my bridal party were so pleased with theirs too! My flower girl especially. Shelby made my 5 year old niece feel like a princess and it literally brought tears to my eyes! If I have a event or anything that I need hair and make up for, Shelby will be my first call! Thank you Shelby!!!

Shelby and her team were absolutely amazing!! She made me and all my bridesmaids absolutely beautiful. She was very communicative before the big day and answered all the questions I had before hand and she is extremely professional. My hair and makeup lasted all night long - even through dancing! I highly recommend SW Beauty.

Shelby is amazing! I can't thank Shelby enough. With Covid and travel bans we changed our wedding to a sunrise elopement...yes sunrise! Shelby was more than happy to help out. Please note it was not easy trying to find someone to do my hair and makeup and have me ready for 5am! Shelby arrived at 2.30am, did my hair and makeup, chatted with my parents who tuned in on video chat and helped get me into my dress. Now, anyone can do hair and makeup, but we had an outside ceremony, I got sprinkled on during the ceremony and then it thunder stormed for the photoshoot. My makeup did not budge! I topped up some powder throughout the day but the rest was perfect. I took my makeup off at midnight so my makeup was on for over 21 hours! She is the sweetest and most professional HMUA I've worked with. Thank you so much Shelby for making my (our) day even better!

Shelby & her team were amazing for my wedding day! Every single bridesmaid, MOB/MOG and myself were so happy with our hair and makeup. I was so vague about what I wanted and Shelby gave me exactly what I wanted and I felt so confident going into my wedding day. They were so kind, efficient and talented. If I ever have another event I will definitely be using her and would recommend to anyone planning a wedding!

Shelby was absolutely amazing during all parts of our wedding planning process! Our hair and makeup looked beautiful and lasted all day and night. Shelby and her team were so professional, hard working, and efficient which made our morning run so smoothly. Shelby made everyone feel so comfortable and calm with her sweet personality. Highly recommend SW Beauty!!!

Shelby and her team did such amazing work for my wedding day. My cousin previously used her and everyone looked gorgeous so I was not messing around when it came my time to hire beauty vendors. I knew I would be happy with her work but i did a trial anyways and she tried two styles on me. I loved them both, it was so hard to choose! My hair came out amazing and my veil didn’t budge at all. I’m also still dreaming about a fishtail braid she did on one of my bridesmaids! I also had 5 flower girls and they all wanted flower crowns and buns and they came out perfect and adorable and even lasted all night! I couldn’t have been happier with her services and she made myself, the moms, the bridesmaids and the flower girls feel beautiful! I will be looking for an excuse to use Shelby in the future!!

Shelby and her team were absolutely amazing! They traveled from RI to NH for my big day and I couldn't have imagined having anyone else do my hair and makeup, as I have been a client of Shelby for several years now. They arrived on time and were very professional about wearing masks the entire time they were with us. I am so happy with how everyone's hair and makeup came out and the day was so perfect! I can't recommend SW Beauty enough!

If I could give Shelby 100 stars, I would! Shelby and her team are amazing!!! Not only they are amazing at hair and makeup but they are incredible people. Shelby makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. She kept my completely calm while getting ready. My bridesmaids and I were ecstatic with our hair and makeup. I couldn’t recommend anyone more!

Where do I begin?! Shelby has been doing my hair for over 10 years so when it came to my wedding day there was no question on who would be the one to do my hair and make-up! So obviously she was the first vendor I booked. She has this amazing ability to take a vision or a pin on Pinterest and turn it into an ever better version in reality.. I could not have been happier with my hair and make-up for my wedding day. Not only does she do amazing work but she also has the overwhelming calming demeanor and the most positive attitude.. she is so easy to talk with while maintaining such professionalism. I could not have imagined the morning of my wedding with anyone else. She is accommodating beyond measure, and extremely reliable.. we planned my wedding last minute and she was able fit me in for a color, a trial and the big day. She’s absolutely amazing, don’t hesitate for one second- BOOK, BOOK, BOOK !!!

SW beauty was amazing! I had 7 bridesmaids, 2 Jr. bridesmaids, 2 flower girls my mom and mother-in-law all getting their hair and make up done. They were so professional and worked efficiently with beautiful hair styles and wonderful make up application that lasted the whole day into the night! They did touch ups at the end before we left to the ceremony! I highly recommend!!

Went above and beyond to squeeze me in very early in the morning on location when she was already fully booked for the day. Very reasonable priced. Excellent work. She made it easy for me to provide minimal instruction and get the outcome I was looking for. Highly recommend. My look lasted all day and night without feeling heavy. She was also fun to chat with during our session!

Shelby is an angel. She's a bridal anxiety whisperer. I knew I was going to love working with her day of my wedding because she did my hair and make up for my friend's wedding- I'm pretty sure I had her booked for my day before she finished my curls! Her salon is clean and intimate. She was flexible on times to get in for trials. She both responded to emails quickly and sent emails shortly after trials to check in on me and see how the hair and makeup held up or if I still liked it after being home. She even responded to small critiques eloquently and with grace and had me come in for a second trial so we could make sure I was going to be completely happy for my day- talking completely different hair. She was so happy to do it and help, agreed that the change seemed more my style, and knocked it out of the park! Day of- I was a mess. So anxiety ridden and completely not myself. She knew it and was able to get me to calm down by reassuring me that the day was not a big deal- it was a day all about us and love and all of that but super bonus I was getting to be glammed so just enjoy it! We laughed a lot and yet maintained complete professionalism. As my photographers showed up I realized I didn't buy a mirror for the venue where I would be getting dressed and she insisted that I take hers!! Shes' unreal. Honestly, yes, I looked incredible- she was able to hide some wild stress blotches and make me feel unbelievably beautiful (and comfortable and calm), but I also felt like I left the experience with a friend. I can't imagine the experience with anyone else. Book with Shelby. I love her so much!

I don’t even know where to begin! Shelby White is an absolutely amazing vendor. She is not only the most professional & reliable but also continues to make you feel like the most beautiful and confident version of yourself. I was only a bridesmaid yet Shelby managed to make each & every one of us feel special. She’s confident in her work & projects that confidence, giving you the peace of mind that she’s going to do a great job. She followed our time line to the exact minute & proceeded to give us a completely stress free day for our bride. There was nothing better than seeing the bride absolutely glowing after Shelby glammed her ! All of our hair/make up lasted all night & looked flawless. She finds the perfect balance wether you’re the girl with a full face of make up everyday or the girl that never wears any, she will still make you look stunning. I wish I could write this review a million times so everyone would know how great she is ! I will definitely be booking her for my wedding after seeing what amazing work she does. I wouldn’t trust anyone else ! Moral of the story... DEFINITELY BOOK SHELBY WHITE FOR ANY & ALL BEAUTY NEEDS !! ♥️

Shelby was so helpful and kind throughout the process! I did 2 bridal trials and she was able to make my vision of beachy, boho come through! The hair and make for my mom, bridal party and myself was beautiful! I am so thankful for her expertise, kindness and calming nature. I wish I lived in Rhode Island because I would go to her for haircut and color as well!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby. She exceeded my expectations! I could tell during my trial how professional she is, and she really knows her stuff. She took her time during my wedding day to make sure everyone was completely happy, and she explained every step that she did. Everyone in my wedding party was raving about her and how awesome she is! My hair and makeup lasted all night long! I highly recommend everyone use Shelby! She truly is amazing!

Shelby was my shining light and savior for my wedding this September. She was able to book with me last minute and truly made my wedding day go as smoothly as possible, I am so grateful for her! She is professional, easy to work with, responds quickly to emails and/or texts, and has an awesome vision for brides. My hair is extremely difficult to work with, so she sat with me at the trial and we made a plan for the days leading up to the wedding as well as the wedding day to ensure that I was totally looking my best! I could not recommend anyone more highly than I recommend Shelby for wedding hair and makeup - I felt ABSOLUTELY beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her!! THANK YOU!!! <3

We are so happy to work with Shelby’s team. Amanda and Nicole are awesome and really made our day

Shelby was very professional and has an easy going personality. she followed my instruction to capture the natural look that I wanted. My hair and make up looked great. She also did a wonderful job on my daughter’s hair and make-up. Thank you for making us look our very best.

SW Beauty was recommended to me by my make up artist and I couldn't be happier. I did my trial with Kauri and loved my hair. The day of my wedding I wanted to tweak it and she nailed it. It held all night despite my cathedral veil getting caught on everything and yanking on my hair. I would definitely recommend SW Beauty for your event.

Shelby was awesome! She was very professional and patient with all the craziness going on while we were all getting ready for the wedding! I absolutely loved my bridal updo!! I completely changed it up on her the day of the wedding from what we did for my trial run but she did it with ease. I would 100% recommend her to a friend!! Thank you so much Shelby! (:

Such a wonderful experience working with Shelby! She was super easy to work with throughout the entire process. She is very detailed and kept me informed every step of the way- made sure to ask questions to make sure my wedding day hair & make up came out exactly how I wanted it. I am a very particular person when it comes to hair & make up and I was afraid no one would be able to do it how I wanted. I could not be happier with how everything came out- it was exactly what I wanted & more. She even taught me some make up tricks that I continue to use. I can't say enough good things here.

Shelby was my hair stylist for my September 2018 wedding and did a beauty job on my own hair and my mom’s and sisters’. I compared many stylists before hiring Shelby, and I truly believe she is the best in the area. Her updos are phenomenal and she is extremely versitale, creating a custom look for each of us. As other reviewers have mentioned, she is very intent on listening to her clients and making sure they’re getting exactly what they want. During my trial, she was very patient to tweak little things about the style as she went based on my feedback. On the day of, she not only created a beautiful timeless style for me, but was also a pleasure to have on the day of - a true professional and a great calm and fun person to have around. My updo stayed perfectly in place all day, and so far everyone who has seen photos has complimented it. I’m very glad I chose Shelby and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Shelby made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. She is professional, punctual, and kind. Booking was a breeze and she accommodated my requests. I am so happy she did my make up. Thank you Shelby!

I could not be more thrilled with my make up for my wedding. I showed her a few pictures and she was able to re-create the looks exactly. I would recommend her to anyone who asks !!!

Shelby was great to work with! I loved my hair and makeup! Shelby is a talented hair and make up artist. I wanted a more natural look for my wedding and she delivered beautifully. I showed her pictures of hairstyles and she was able to replicate my vision. Shelby is a good listener, professional, and wants you to look great. I highly recommend her. She is fantastic! Thank you!

Shelby and her team were absolutely amazing! They arrived on time and were working magic on all of my bridesmaids and me until the big moment! They were easy-going, good listeners with respect to the look we all wanted, and made sure everything was PERFECT! I really wanted my look to be subtle and flawless and Shelby did an amazing job!

Shelby and her team were absolutely incredible! They took care of me and my entire bridal party + other family memebers in the most amazing way. I felt and looked like the most beautiful bride thanks to her very talented hands. If you are still looking for hair and makeup for your wedding/ engagement photos/ prom/ any special occasion at all, look no further!

I live in New York and was having my wedding in Westerly, RI. I was also planning my wedding in a short 5 months so I knew I had to find someone quick and someone that would come to me, not go to a salon. I went online and researched wedding hair stylists in the area and found Shelby's company. After reading the reviews and seeing photos online, I immediately contacted her with my wedding details to see if she had any availability. She got back to me right away and told me that she was unavailable that day but that she would have someone else on her team available. I signed the contract immediately. Shelby made everything very easy. I booked everything through her and she handled the rest. I had her colleague Sofia do my hair trial and wedding hair and she was absolutely amazing! I showed her photos of what I was looking for and she made it happen! She was prompt, professional, friendly, personable and talented. She arrived at my parents house with everything in tow. On my wedding day, Sofia did my hair along with my bridesmaids and mother of groom and mother of bride. Everyone loved their hair!! I highly recommend Shelby and her company. You won't be disappointed!!

Shelby has been doing my hair for the longest time. She's done my sisters prom hair and makeup, her friends, my mom, my friends, and for numerous events I've attended. In October Shelby did my wedding including bridesmaids of which 2 were ages 11 and 13,mother of the bride, grooms stepmom, and brides stepmom. My trial was exactly what I wanted and Shelby created the same look for my wedding. Every look I wanted for the wedding came out even better than the pictures. She really captures what you want and brings it to life. Shelby is professional, on time, knowledgeable, organized, and personable. You can tell she really takes pride in her work and loves what she does. Shelby also travels to you which is an added plus. She gives her advice on what she thinks will look great on you and it always does. She knows all the updates techniques on how to style your hair and makeup including extensions! Shelby is the ONLY person I would ever recommend to do hair and makeup for anything especially for weddings. She is AMAZING!!!!!
