The Beauty Market was amazing! Alexi was incredible during my trial and wedding day. The team was professional, responsive, and made me feel beautiful. Alexi understood the vision and ensured everything was perfect before leaving. They were relaxed and fun wedding morning, which brought great vibes to the getting ready room. They were fantastic and highly recommend them!

Every bride dreams of looking their absolute best on their special day, and The Beauty Market not only made that dream come true, but they elevated it to cinematic heights!
Amanda...
and Alexi are nothing short of magicians in the realm of beauty. Entrusting them with my Hollywood Glam vision was one of the best decisions I made. Their impeccable skills, combined with an innate understanding of aesthetics, resulted in a transformation that left me and my bridesmaids spellbound. From the sleek, glamorous hairstyles to the flawless makeup application, their expertise shone brightly.
Feeling beautiful is one thing, but the experience that Amanda and Alexi bring is another. Their infectious energy, sweet nature, and genuine passion for their craft made the getting-ready process one of the most enjoyable parts of the day. Every brush stroke, every hair pin, was applied with precision and love, making us feel like we were on a Hollywood set.
It's rare to find professionals who not only excel in their craft but also infuse joy into every moment. If I could, I'd have Amanda and Alexi by my side every day, turning every morning into a red carpet-ready affair.
For anyone seeking a transformation that goes beyond just looks, but encapsulates the essence of Hollywood glamour coupled with genuine care, The Beauty Market is your destination. Their magic lies not just in making you look like a star, but in making you feel like one too.
A massive thank you to Amanda, Alexi, and the entire Beauty Market team for making my day radiant and unforgettable. Anyone in search of the perfect glam squad need not look further! 💄✨❤️🌟

due to concerns around COVID and they were great to work with and shifted our contract to our new date in May 2022. The hair & makeup trial was great, and both Amanda and Alexi were incredibly easy to work with and fun to be around. They helped make my wedding day extra special and fun, as they took such good care of me and my wedding party. My friends said they had never seen such consistency in high level hair and makeup across the entire group and each girl loved their look. They took my vision and brought it to life and made me feel comfortable and pretty on the big day. Would absolutely recommend The Beauty Market team and were thrilled we could work together for our special day!

organize while planning a wedding you ask questions twice and Alexi was always polite and king when re answering my questions. I was set up with Karina for my makeup and she was a JOY. She was SO sweet and SO talented. For my bridal trial Karina took her time with me, changing things I did not like and giving me suggestions in areas I was unsure about. I never felt that she rushed at all. I left my trial feeling confident and excited. I took notes of a few changes I wanted made after my trial and on the day of my wedding she gladly took my requests and I was SO thrilled with the way my makeup turned out. She did the makeup of all my bridesmaids, the mother of the bride and myself. She was timely and efficient. There was something on one bridesmaid I didn't love so I told Karina and she quietly fixed it and did not make a big deal of it at all-- I felt very comfortable with Karina. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to all brides!

I felt absolutely flawless from 7:00 am until 1:00 am the next day. I whole-heartedly recommend working with them for your wedding or any other special event.

to the day of the wedding. I have never felt so beautiful in all my life. I nearly cried after seeing my hair & make-up complete on my wedding day, and I definitely would have if I didn't want to ruin the masterpiece they had just created. I had 6 bridesmaids and 2 moms also have their hair & make-up done the morning of my wedding and they cruised through everyone with the help of another assistant (which was a great recommendation). All of my bridesmaids have been in weddings before and said that this was hands down their favorite hair & make-up they've ever gotten. Everybody looked incredible. Amanda and Alexi are absolute artists. They have brilliant advice and are so fun and cool to spend your morning of your wedding with. I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about them!

ryone's hair and makeup looked that day. When it was time for my big day, they did not disappoint. From updos, braids, and curls, they were able to do all styles gorgeously on me and all of my bridesmaids. And though they said they love to do glam makeup and hair, they absolutely nailed the more natural and conservative looks that my mother and mother in law requested. Everyone looked and felt so beautiful, everything looked equally as good in person and in photos, and on top of that Amanda and Alexi are just a pleasure to be around. I wish I could have them do my hair and makeup every day.

I would recommend bringing lo...
ts of photos and being vocal throughout your trial and day-of services as these ladies can create any vision you want but you do need to be able to articulate it :) I wasn't happy with my original make up trial and they listened to what I wanted to change and made the changes without any issues. I was very happy with the final hair and makeup on wedding day.
When I went for my trial, there was some miscommunication about schedules and the hair-stylist was not able to make the trial. I understand this was not her fault as there was an issue with their calendar system but it was frustrating that I had to drive an hour to the trial on 2 separate occasions when I had planned to knock out both the hair and makeup trial at the same time. I also wasn't able to see what hair and make up looked like together since the trials were on separate days. Not the biggest deal in the world but it added another level of stress to an already busy wedding week.
On the day of, the hair and make up team arrived promptly and had all services done in time for pictures. They are great at what they do and fun to be around.
They offer good pricing and I particularly like that they include lashes with all of their services for free. I would recommend them!

ue was that they were almost an hour late to start our hair and makeup the day of. We had a mountain wedding, and paid for them to travel to the cabin where we were staying. They went to the venue first, instead of to our cabin, making them very late to start. It made the morning of the wedding stressful and feel rushed, leaving less time for photography. They still did a stellar job, but it was not a great way to start the day.
