Aleetha is AMAZING! Hands down, one of the best hair and makeup artists I have ever seen. Her work truly speaks for itself. She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. On top of being incredibly talented, Aleetha has the best personality. She is bubbly, warm, professional, and so, so sweet. She brought such a positive energy to the morning of my wedding and was an absolute pleasure to have there. Another huge plus is that she is experienced working with multicultural hair textures and skin tones, which was especially important for my wedding party. Her versatility and talent are truly impressive. I would LOVE to work with Aleetha again for future events. I cannot recommend her enough. Brides—don’t walk, RUNNNNN to book her for your wedding! She is truly amazing at what she does!

I have nothing but great things to say about Aleetha. From the start, she was very professional, excellent at communicating, always arrived on time and had a wonderful energy. She spent our sessions chatting and making us feel very comfortable. Most of all, she's an expert at what she does, for both women and men. My husband and I both went into our big day feeling more beautiful and confident than ever, and we got a ton of compliments. I'd recommend Aleetha to all brides out there, and grooms too, because everyone deserves to look great on their wedding day.

tant day. She made the entire morning so much fun and brought such a positive, calming, and joyful presence to the getting-ready process. Most of all, Aleetha is incredibly talented. My hair and makeup were absolutely everything I was looking for and more. I felt glamorous and beautiful while still feeling completely like myself, which was exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. And somehow, everything lasted flawlessly all day and well into the night! I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist or a better person to have with me on my wedding day. I am so grateful I found Aleetha and would recommend her to any bride without hesitation!

Aleetha was incredible to work with for my wedding hair and makeup! She brought my ideas to life and was so flexible and accommodating with any changes I suggested. I also did hair...

and makeup trial with her two months before the wedding and she remembered every single detail for the wedding day! Aleetha brings in so much positive energy that both the trial and wedding day makeover were super fun and conversational. She also helped with finalizing the getting ready timeline! My final look turned out so stunning that everyone was raving about it! The makeup stayed on the whole day and night, and barely got oily despite the extremely high humidity that day. It was absolute perfection!

I just knew I would look picture perfect for all of my pictures when the day came! Aleetha brought a fun loving, positive and caring vibe. I felt instantly at ease and excited for the day when she walked into the room! Aleetha’s skillful team started the day off playing us some ‘get ready tunes’ as myself, my bridesmaids, mom, and godmother were all pampered to perfection! My husband also got color correction and felt amazing all day! Aleetha and her team made us feel as though we were having a true spa day. We went from calm and relaxed to glam and gorgeous and the looks lasted through the entire night! I highly recommend Glass Slipper Beauty to all brides to be, I cannot think of a better way to have started off my wedding day!

From the first call, I knew that Aleetha and her team were going to be the ones for our wedding day on November 16th 2023. She came highly recommeneded, and it was so helpful to be...

able to work with a single vendor that combined hair, makeup & nails for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen especially with us living so far from the wedding venue. Her and her team brought such great energy to our group and were both very receptive to ideas and to giving opinions when someone wasn't sure. She did a great job balancing what we asked and the unexpected things that came up during the day.

Aleetha and her team at Glass Slipper did an incredible job with hair and makeup for myself, 10 bridesmaids, my mother, stepmother, and mother-in-law before my wedding earlier this...

month. They were the nicest group of women and made our morning so fun with a stellar playlist. The team was so organized helped me create a perfect run-of-show timeline for the morning, and were flexible with any challenges that came our way — Aleetha even fixed my makeup after I accidentally messed it up during my first look! She also helped me secure my veil, and made a beautiful impromptu design in my bun with pearl bobby pins I had bought days before the wedding. I can’t recommend Glass Slipper enough, and I will be shouting Aleetha’s name from the rooftops any time I meet a new bride looking for a reliable, fun, and professional hair and makeup team. Thanks so much again!!

On the day of the wedding her and her team was so great to be with had all us laughing and putting everyone at ease. My entire wedding party looked STUNNING! And I felt absolutely beautiful and looked beautiful on my wedding day. I would 1000% recommend the Glass Slipper Weddings to everybody! Don’t even hesitate to book them!

Aleetha brought an upbeat attitude and bright energy to the early wedding morning and her smile didn't fade hours later as she helped the photographers get the perfect shots by tossing my veil in the air for them.

ning and was so accommodating when we had to move our wedding multiple times due to COVID. There was never any stress working with her! We had a group of 10 getting hair and makeup done, with girls of all different hair types and skin tones. We had three stylists (Ciara, Tiffani and Tawanda) and were probably a 3+ hour drive for them but they arrived early, energetic and excited to start the day! Throughout the day they were all so fun and upbeat even though I knew we were their 5th or 6th wedding of the weekend. They listened to what everyone wanted and made everyone feel beautiful and they worked so efficiently, we were never rushed or behind. They did touchups throughout the day so everyone looked great when it was time for photos. My mother and mother in law both especially stood out - my mom said it was the best hair and makeup she has ever had done, and my mother in law loved her updo (and she was a bit nervous about her hair in general beforehand but Tawanda made her look amazing!). I as the bride loved my look, I never had a makeup trial but Ciara brought my vision to life from a photo and made me look beautiful. I don't have perfect skin and even had a scab on my face day-of but you would never know, she did such an amazing job with foundation. For my hair I did a trial in 2020 but asked Tiffani for a change day-of which she rolled with and it came out exactly as I wanted it. Overall I had an amazing experience with the entire team before and during our event and I would 100% recommend them for any future event!

Thank you to Aleetha and the team for making my bridesmaids and family look ABSOLUTELY flawless. My family and girls could not stop talking about how amazing they felt throughout the events. The team was so welcoming and so much fun to be with on my wedding day. Although I was in the other room getting ready, I could hear the team and my girls cracking up and just having absolute fun whilst getting ready for the wedding. They were extremely professional and down to earth. Thank you guys for everything! I literally cannot thank you enough.

My goal was to make sure everyone felt like their best selves the day of the wedding and Aleetha, Tawanda, Yve, and the other stylists really delivered! I was worried about how much time everyone would have to get ready and the week before the wedding I reached out to Aleetha to ask about timing. She was so responsive and not only listened to my fears but immediately added more stylists to make sure things were on time and easy! Honestly, I can't recommend everyone at The Glass Slipper enough! They really made my special day even more special.

2020 has been a difficult year for many reasons... my wedding was supposed to happen in April, then it was postponed to September and now is indefinitely postponed. This year has ...

been so stressful, but I can honestly say that working with Aleetha was one of the easiest parts. She was friendly, flexible, and responsive. As I kept making changes, she supported me through each step. In the end when I canceled my wedding for 2020 and asked for a possible refund, Aleetha returned my ENTIRE deposit. Most vendors would not do this. This women is KIND and GRACIOUS and really just a good person. She is the utmost professional. I have so much respect for her as a business women. I am thankful that I chose her as my makeup artist for my entire bridal party. When I do I have my wedding, I will definitely be calling her and her team.

There were 5 of us getting ready the morning of, (me, my mom, sister, MIL and SIL) and each one of us were very happy with our looks. They gave each one of us the natural makeup look we wanted and our hair turned out just as we imagined. I wish I could have them get me ready everyday. Definitely one the best vendor we could have hired. Even with covid being thrown in with wedding planning, Aleetha was very accommodating.
