suring that I had the best for me and my bridal party. They made this process as smooth as possible guiding me every step of the way. The customer service is top notch and they truly look out for your best interest.
Do yourself a favor and make sure you book a trial. This was an amazing opportunity to discuss in person the look I was going for and be able to give feedback and changes for the big day. They were very open and welcoming of all suggestions and questions I had.
The day of the event they came early and prepared. Time went by so quickly and they were very efficient in keeping to the timeline. That definitely helps when you have a big group of ladies all needing to get hair and makeup done before the photographer arrives. This made me stay calm and relaxed knowing everything was running smoothly with this vendor. On top of being efficient on the day they really took the time to make sure each of us from the bridal party felt beautiful and confident about our final look. Each look lasted well into the late night!
Definitely look into inquiring ASAP for your wedding, special event, or anytime you want to be glammed up. Lastly, thank you so much to Allie for always answering all my questions, concerns, and everything in between! Can't wait for the next special event for me to get all glammed up!

They really helped make this process in wedding planning easy and the scheduling was flexible. We all were happy with how our hair came out and with how our makeup came out as well. I truly felt and looked like a blushing, glowy bride!
Its been four months since our wedding day, and I’m still feeling super happy and overjoyed about everything that happened that day. It started with Allie saving the morning for me...
for what could’ve been a disaster. I got a hotel room where I hoped my bridal party would get ready but I didn’t check in the night before and when I got there in the morning, they couldn’t find my record of me reserving the room. Allie got there before me and explained to the manager what was happening, and before I could stress out about the situation, Allie already managed to set up one of the conference rooms so we can get ready. I felt like a had friend instead of a vendor to do a job. She was so organized and made the whole event so comfortable and fun. She had everyone on an organized schedule for hair and makeup so there wouldn’t be any time wasted. Her whole team was so kind, friendly, and more importantly TALENTED! Everyone’s beauty was majestically enhanced by The Beautiful Life team. My whole bridal party looked absolutely gorgeous! If I was to have another event, I would choose Allie and her team over and over again.
Clarissa was very professional and took detailed notes on what the client wanted. The Beautiful Life was quick to respond with making the appointments. I felt comfortable with thei...
r booking process and they always sent reassurance about upcoming appointments.

Allie and her team are incredible! I have never had my makeup done professionally so I was a little nervous initially, but Allie was incredibly kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and ...
professional! Allie and her team did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot, my wedding, a reshoot for some wedding pictures we did not get to do on my wedding day, and my graduation shoot a few months later! Each time I felt beautiful and confident, but best of all I felt like me. My wedding makeup stayed out looking beautiful for my pictures all night long through the dancing and tears that happen during weddings.
Allie has a way of making you feel beautiful in your own skin and enhancing your natural beauty you walked in with. For my wedding, Allie’s team serviced me and my entire wedding party. She was organized, on-time, professional, and fun the whole time she was there. (And she had the best playlist!) I will definitely use her for future events and I recommend The Beautiful Life Nation for weddings and any other special event you have. The BEST in Bakersfield by far!
Allie and the team were really enjoyable to work with!!! They are very professional and made us all look great!!!
Highly recommend them.

Very professional, caught every special moment.

tarted right away and had a system to get everyone done by a certain time. We were done ahead of schedule! Which everyone knows at weddings, that’s usually what causes any delays. Not only was their efficiency awesome, everyone looked incredible! I was so happy with the way everyone’s hair and makeup turned out. They took the time with me before the wedding as well to do a trial run to make sure I liked the hair style I chose, and so my makeup artist could learn my skin. It made such a difference and everything was spot on for the day of. Can’t recommend them enough, it took so much stress off of me for the big day to know that these things were taken care of and taken care of so well.
The glam squad at The Beautiful Life came highly recommended… and boy oh boy… they did not disappoint!
They arrived early, had everything setup, set the vibes for a good time, and...
worked their magic. Everyone was super sweet, communication was perfect, and they exceeded our expectations. And after all the nights shenanigans, my face still looked well put together. 😝
Thank you so much Allie and team! Y’all are the best and will definitely be my go to for all beauty needs.

You do not need to look any further for a hair and makeup team! Book Allie and her team at Beautiful Life and you won't regret it. I was very nervous about booking a make up artist...
for my engagement party - I've had bad experiences in the past with make up artists that weren't very experienced doing make up on darker skin but Allie is phenomenal. She did makeup for me, my mom, and 3 sisters. All of us have different skin types and undertones and she had all of us looking our best. I have truly never felt more beautiful and I can't thank her enough. All of my sister and my mom loved how they looked as well. The makeup photographed beautifully and looked amazing in person as well. Allie is honestly magical!
And it wasn't just our makeup that we loved - our hair turned out fantastic and it stayed perfect all day and all night, even through all the dancing! I can't say enough good things about Beautiful Life. Not only are they incredibly talented, they are flexible, easy to work with, and so much fun to be around! Thank you Beautiful Life!
I booked the wedding for my brothers wedding. We are not from Bakersfield so we did not know where to go. We found The Beautiful Life online and they were so professional and nice...
we booked them. They made the process so easy being out of town and even came early to our hotel room to get everyone ready. I would highly recommend The Beautiful Life.

or my cousins wedding. My appointment was early morning so I was worried about my makeup lasting all day. Not only did my makeup last all day I was picture ready all night. I will definitely be coming back to Allie for my next event or night on the town.
They did a wonderful job !!
The women were absolutely amazing! I have never had my hair and make up done before and it was so relaxing lol. I really enjoyed their energy.
Allie and Christina were amazing! Not only did they travel to my location but they made the whole getting ready experience so much fun!!! I can’t express how much I appreciate them...
!
Allie just has so much talent with makeup! She also has a passion for it that shows! My makeup looked great and withstand hours of sun, humidity and lots of sweaty dancing!
Christina is a wizard when it comes to hair! She did a beautiful half up half down that lasted the whole wedding. I forgot to take my hair down before going to bed and It still looked good the next morning!
This dynamic duo are the best! You won’t regret hiring them!
I am the daughter of the Bride. I live in Atlanta, Ga and asked a friend if mine/fellow Cosmetologist if she knew of a bridal makeup artist in the Bakersfield area? She immediately...
gave me The Beautiful Life's information and I made contact right away. My friend also gave me a particular makeup artist to request, however she was not available on our date. Even though I was a bit disappointed. For some reason I wasn't worried at all and gladly accepted the artist placed with us.
The Beautiful Life kept in contact with me leading up to the wedding day. Unexpectedly, the morning of, our artist had a emergency & wasn't going to make it to our appointment. Again, for some reason I wasn't worried. I received a phone call from the owner & the original artist that I requested making EVERYTHING alright & servicing us herself!!! YAAAAAAY!!! She was EXTREMELY professional. Wonderful personality. She made my Mother feel completely comfortable & more Beautiful!!! I am honored to have worked with you & definitely will be back. I would have loved for you all to have seen the final look. Thanks so much!!
Ohh, P.s. she was also childhood friends with my husband. Lots of laughs & fun as well!

I enjoyed their upbeat spirits and personalities when working with my bridal party- there wasn’t a moment that we weren’t giggling and having a great time during a day that people find to be stressful. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us and making my wedding day so special and one I won’t soon forget! I can’t wait to use this team for future projects and special moments!
Allie was amazing! She was able to come out fairly short-notice for my bridal makeup. She brought a thorough set-up, including a chair and everything! I got so many compliments on ...

Mrs. Perkins was amazing, professional and caring. She was readily available for all my questions and concerns and made

and her make up artiest talents will definitely book with her again for photo shoot and date nights
Very professional. Hair was great and stayed put the entire night and through all the dancing. The false eyelashes looked great and stayed on for an extra day as well. The only ...
thing I wish I would have done differently is use my own foundation. I normally use a very high quality foundation that looks bright, light and clean on my face, but I feel the foundation used for my wedding day was a little darker and heavy--almost cakey.
I absolutely love Allie & her team!!! They are amazing!! First off, I'd like to say that Allie is so awesome! She is very responsive when I first contacted her to book her services...
, and she was happy to answer any questions I had. She was also easy to reach via text or email (which makes it that much easier to plan a wedding!!)
I ended up booking Allie & her team to do hair/make-up for 8 girls for my wedding. I originally only booked for 6 girls, but added 2 more girls literally like 2 days before the wedding, lol. And Allie was awesome enough to accommodate for it!! They even traveled to our Air BnB at 3am in the morning to set-up and get us all ready by 8am! CAN YOU SAY SUPERWOMEN?! I also loved the team's energy and how sweet & nice everyone was. They were all very professional.
In regards to the make-up & hairstyles, Allie & her team can pretty much pull off anything. The girls looked amazing!! They were so detailed in their work, and made sure to give each girl exactly what they wanted & were comfortable with.
I would def book Allie & her team again for any make-up or hair services!
An amazing experience from when I first contact them to the trail to the BIG day!!! Absolutely outstanding. Loved Lily and her ability to work with my mom, mother in la and myself....
Can’t thank Allie and her team enough for making my day the BEST DAY EVER!!!
Allie was a blast to work with. I hired her as my makeup artist for my wedding and she did a great job! Upon meeting her the first time, we connected immediately because of her bri...
ght and fun personality. There was no dull moment with her. She makes you feel comfortable and makes sure your expectations are met. She has a very pleasant aura all the time and she was very professional with time. You won’t regret booking her!
It gives me great pleasure to write this review for The Beautiful Life. I own an event company in Bakersfield Ca, we plan all types of weddings and events. Allie and her team are...
one of the first business partners we reach out to, we want to book them early before they are booked with someone else. They are fun, kind, professional and their work is always beautiful. I know I can give Allie my clients information and never worry she is quick to get back to them and takes excellent care of them. Allie is a true professional and she cares about her clients and us. She is a treasure and I am proud to say she is on our preferred vendor list!
