Look no further. We cannot share enough good things about Stephanie and her craft. Stephanie has done hair/makeup for all four weddings in my husband’s family, and we had the privi...
lege of working with her twice with our original plans having been pivoted due to Hurricane Helene and our big celebration postponed. Stephanie is clearly an artist—her attention to detail, her compassion, and the skill evident in her execution are all signs that her trade isn’t merely a job to her. She is so in her element as she styles and primps you to fit your vibe, and the experience will transform you.
Stephanie’s communication is also unparalleled. She requested selfies and example photos of how we each might like our hair to look. After we provided her with some logistical needs for wedding day, she sent us an organized timeline so we could all stay on track. On the day of the wedding, she provided under-eye de-puffer serum patches to all of us. The women in our family looked radiant after spending time with her. She tended to my husband and I with great care, perfecting our hairdos and addressing every small blemish on our faces so we could glow.
As we mentioned to her directly, she is one of those rare individuals who has an exceptional presence, so much that you feel better about yourself simply by sharing space with her. And that presence will shine through in how you look and feel on the most special day of your life. Much gratitude.
Stephanie works magic!! Stephanie not only killed it on the wedding day, but also managed to sew my moms dress together when the thread popped! All of the bridesmaids and moms were...
obsessed with their hair and makeup, and it still looked great at the end of the night. If you want a flawless look that will last all night, go with Stephanie!
Stephanie was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! From the moment I decided to go forward with with her, I knew I no longer had to stress about how my hair and make-up would look. She did my hai...
r and make up for my Sangeet and wedding ceremony. I loved the look she created at my trial, and loved the looks during my wedding even more! Stephanie had done hair and makeup for several Indian (and Sikh) brides before, and was very familiar with some of the different aspects like placement of the Tikka.
Stephanie is professional, considerate, and so kind! She really listens to what your preferences are. And one of the most important things for me was that I still looked and felt like myself (just glammed up)! Also, if it says anything, my make up and hair lasted almost perfectly from 4:30am to 11:30pm on my wedding day. Additionally, her assistant, Elaine, did hair and make up for my sister and mom. Both of them loved their looks as well! I would definitely recommend The Makeup Culture for your wedding needs!!
Stephanie did my hair and makeup, along with my mom and mother in law, for my micro wedding. I have only great things to say about her! I showed her some inspiration photos for the...
look I was going for and she brought it to life. I felt so glamorous and confident on my wedding day. The moms also looked stunning. I couldn't stop staring at my mom's eyes, and I was amazed that Steph got my mom's fine hair to hold a curl all day long! She also was happy to give me some great makeup tips when I asked, and now I'm having fun trying them out on my own.
She was also really great to work with when I had to reschedule the initial wedding date with less than 2 weeks notice, due to a positive covid-19 test. She was very understanding, and I found her rescheduling process to be very reasonable and easy.
Stephanie is a really lovely person who I really enjoyed getting to know. Due to covid-19, I couldn't have my girlfriends with me on my wedding day. Stephanie helped me stay calm, collected, and excited in their place as I was getting ready. She even reminded me to remember to eat, which ended up being so helpful!!
I would recommend her to anyone. She was punctual, flexible, amazingly skilled, and so great to work with.
Short version: The Makeup Culture should be hired for any and all events that you ever need. They're kind, professional, understanding, and have artistic talents for DAYS. I would ...
recommend Steph a million times over!
Long version: Prior to finding Steph at the Makeup Culture, I had pretty much given up finding someone to do my makeup. But finding and working with Steph was a god-send. During this crazy time of COVID and my tiny wedding, she was willing to talk me through what was needed and when I felt too stressed, she was fine discussing things however was best for me. BLESS.
Even once we met up, she was professional and yet so laid back, making sure that no one else had hair similar to me (the bride). She was excited for my wedding and was so easy to talk to and get along, and never ONCE did I feel uncomfortable. Her and her assistant, Kelsey, were THE BEST.
In fact, I felt so comfortable with her, and her knowledge, that I told her to do whatever she wanted with my makeup. ON MY WEDDING DAY. And it was honestly the best decision I could have made. She made me feel beautiful and comfortable wearing more makeup than I have before (which is needed for those photos, trust!) and her vision with my Halloween wedding and dress was PERFECTION. They made what I expected to be a stressful time before the wedding into a fun, relaxing, happy part of my wedding day memories.
Highly recommended. SO worth it. DO IT.
Stephanie and her team are a dream. I'm a wedding planner in the Raleigh area and I am always impressed with Stephanie and her team. They are always prompt, professional, and all o...
f their services always look amazing. (And the hair and makeup truly lasts, I've seen a lot of girls after dancing for hours and they still look flawless). I recently worked with Stephanie and one of her artists had an emergency the afternoon before the wedding. Stephanie not only reached out to me to make sure we could still make the day great for our bride, she came to me with a plan on how we could move forward. The bride never knew anything different and all services were properly completed. For this reason alone, I always recommend Stephanie because when life happens (and it will), you need a professional who is tried and true and truly wants the best for her clients.
Stephanie and her team were absolutely amazing!
From our makeup trial to the wedding day, she was so wonderful to work with and a master of her craft. She took time to see my vis...
ion for the day, worked with me throughout the process, and brought everything to life on the day of the event.
Not only that, I had 12 people that received hair and makeup the day of my wedding, and she was SO organized and amazing to give everyone such a beautiful look! I hope to have another reason to work with Stephanie again!!!
Stephanie is AMAZING!!! As soon as I got engaged, she was the first vendor I knew I HAD to have! She is so incredibly talented and made myself and all of my bridesmaids look beauti...
ful for portraits and on the wedding day. She is fun to be around and very helpful deciding makeup and hair options that are most suited for you! Also, it is very nice that she is talented at makeup and hair! Hands down recommend her to anyone :)
Stephanie was so wonderful to work with! Before the wedding, she was responsive and receptive. I had a larger bridal party and a less-than-ideal amount of time for hair and makeup,...
and she worked diligently to ensure enough staff to get the job done while meeting our timeline.
Once I booked with Stephanie, we set up a hair and makeup trial. At my trial, I really felt Stephanie was hearing my concerns, and offering her expertise. I came out feeling absolutely BEAUTIFUL and confident in my decision to work with her and her team. As far as quality of her products and her work, Stephanie is truly second to none. Many of my bridesmaids questioned my decision not to use airbrush makeup (I'm just not a fan), but after having their makeup done the day of were so impressed. One literally commented they had "no idea that non-airbrush makeup could look so flawless". Stephanie is also incredibly knowledgeable about skincare and makeup products, and truly individualizes her work.
On the day of, Stephanie and her team delivered the same quality, positivity, and beautiful outcome that I experienced during the trial. I truly could not have been happier. I am very particular about my appearance (and truthfully, spent a lot of time worrying about this part of the big day), but Stephanie and her team eased any concerns I had. Each of my bridesmaids had the unique features that make them beautiful emphasized in ways I can hardly describe. They helped each one of us look our best, and I am so very thankful!!! I would highly recommend Stephanie and the Makeup Culture time and time again. They are simply excellent in all facets of their work.
Stephanie was absolutely amazing and so talented! The bridal party was so happy with their hair and makeup and all the guests commented on how amazing they all looked. I felt ab...
solutely beautiful as a bride! She listened to what I wanted and the final result far exceeded my expectations. She has the most positive attitude and is so sweet and thoughtful. She is super responsive as well. I would 100% recommend Stephanie!! Excellent experience from start to finish!
Stephanie was an absolute delight to have with my bridesmaids and me for so many hours on my wedding day! She was so patient and kind to everyone, and everyone's hair looked stunni...
ng. Not only that, but she was so accommodating of anyone who needed adjustments or was unsure of what they had done. She made sure we all felt completely comfortable. I started off afraid to get my makeup done (I usually wear no makeup), but Stephanie performed some kind of magic on my face because I can't believe how "natural" (but way better!!!) she made me look. She even helped me cover up a terrible back tan-line, no problem! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
What can I say about Stephanie except, quite simply, she is the best. Stephanie provided career makeup and hair services (and photography) for me in the past and she was the first...
call I made before choosing a wedding date because I wanted to ensure her availability. She worked with me on my trial hair and makeup and was so helpful since I was in the process of growing out a pixie during the 9 months prior to the wedding. Stephanie worked with me to create a great look for my rehearsal dinner and then she and her team took care of my entire bridal party (6 of us) on my wedding day. I received so many compliments and the look was exactly what I wanted: special, classic, and beautiful. I cannot say enough how much stress it relieved to know I was in Stephanie's capable hands for my wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect. Stephanie is a joy to be around. She is prompt, professional, creative, and her results are magnificent.
Stephanie is amazing! She was so friendly and easy to work with from the first contact. She made the trial run so much fun, even with my mom and family friend along for the trip. ...
She was just as sweet on the big day. She did an incredible job making me and my bridal party look picture perfect! One of my bridesmaids (who admittedly doesn't like anyone near her face) was even asking her for makeup tips. I would highly recommend Stephanie for any special event!
Stephanie was beyond amazing!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was the best I have even looked in my life. She is sweet, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. T...
here is nobody else I would want doing my hair and makeup. I would recommend her in heartbeat.
Stephanie is amazing in every way - she is sweet, professional, and very talented at her craft. She made my Maid Of Honor and I look and feel absolutely gorgeous for my big day. I ...
highly recommend her!
Stephanie is an incredibly talented makeup artist and hair designer. She took the time to get know me (as a bride and as an individual), listened to my concerns regarding using dif...
ferent types of makeup outside of normal routine, and helped to design a one-of-a-kind hair-style. The results were stunning - I've never looked more beautiful, thanks to Stephanie. I've already referred her (upon request of my friends/colleagues) to several friends and colleagues who witnessed her magic first-hand. She's amazing.
Stephanie did both my make up and the MOH and MOB make up for the wedding day. She does amazing work and I have never felt more beautiful (with still looking like myself)! Stephani...
e has such a calming presence and is ready for any situation that might arise on wedding day. She has excellent communication and was in constant contact with me. She is also very punctual, which was so important to me in a vendor. I could go on and on about how wonderful she was to work with. I would definitely recommend her to brides!
Stephanie is a very talented makeup artist. She did both my makeup and my bridal party's makeup for my wedding day on March 22 and everyone looked beautiful! I love that she doesn'...
t use the airbrush makeup because I've had that done before and it doesn't look natural. I had a few adjustments that I wanted made from the consultation to the wedding day and Stephanie made sure all of them were done. My makeup was perfect for my wedding day and I can't thank Stephanie enough!
Stephanie at The Makeup Culture is my sister-in-laws friend. She did her hair and make up at her wedding, and recommended her to me when my day came around. I honestly have never f...
elt more beautiful in my life than when Stephanie did my hair and make up. She is so talented and knows so much about make up. We kept bombarding her with make up questions about how we can become better make up artists to ourselves..her tips and tricks are GREAT! She is so genuinely sweet and her passion for make up just exudes from her. She was able to recreate a look just by looking at a photo for two seconds. The make up held up all night long, I didn't even need to re apply anything. My photos turned out so well because of her. I have never felt more confident and beautiful, which is important when all eyes are on you that day. If you need a make up artist, you need Stephanie. She is a true professional and will make you feel and look your best. She is a true gem and I highly recommend her to everyone!
Stephanie was extremely personable and made sure I was fully satisfied with my hair & makeup.
I had a bad experience with a last minute pick for hair and make-up and I e-mailed Stefanie on the off chance she could help 3 days before my wedding. Not only was she sympathetic ...
but she was able to help. However, she didn't just help, she transformed me! She understood completely what I was looking for and made me feel gorgeous. I was relaxed and so at ease with her and she's extremely professional. Crisis averted with The Makeup Culture!
