Please do not book this company for your wedding. It’s taken me a few months to write this due to the overwhelming stress Hannah and her company caused on and leading up to my wedd...
ing.
I booked Urbanista weddings back in Feb 2022 for my May 2023 wedding. At first Hannah was very attentive and personable, helping me with look ideas and booking. When I originally reached out to Hannah I was inquiring for May 13 2023 but finding out that was Mother’s Day weekend we decided to move our wedding to May 20 2023. My contract was signed for May 20 2023. After signing the contract it was near impossible to get a hold of Hannah, schedule a trial, update the contract or get a timeline.
Three weeks before the wedding on 4/27 I reached out to Hannah to set up a timeline for the day of my wedding. I heard back from Hannah’s assistant and said that they would get back to me when they were back in town. I then followed back with them once they were back in town on 5/3, her assistant got back to me right away around confusion on the dates stating my contract and profile were scheduled for 5/13.
Hearing this 17 days before the wedding put me in a spiral. I immediately wrote back to her assistant asking for more information and that the contract I have is for 5/20.
I followed up 2 hours later after getting no response to see if anyone could get back to me. I followed up again 4 hours later after not hearing back from anyone asking for someone to please write me back and let me know what is happening. Having no response on if I was going to have a makeup artist for my wedding only got me more worried about what was happening and had me feeling like I had been ghosted by Hannah. Finally I received a phone call from Hannah 8 hours later.
It was late so I called her back in the morning. We spoke on the phone and she apologized for the confusion, let me know it was a booking error by her previous assistant. She said she did have the date wrong and that they had the 13th booked for me instead of the 20th. She tried to reassure me that she would find makeup artists for the day and was working on fixing the problem.
Because of the turmoil this caused me I asked Hannah if we can please cancel the contract. For not getting back to me in a timely manner and because I had this contact booked for over a year I felt like this was incredibly unprofessional because if I had not reached out to set up the timeline it’s likely they would have shown up on the wrong date leaving me without anyone for my wedding day.
When requesting a refund, Hannah refused to refund me saying she’d give me a 10% discount off my service. Again, I let Hannah know how I didn’t feel confident that she would secure new makeup artists and that I didn’t want this stress leading up to my wedding day.
I let Hannah know I am more than happy to pay for the trial and services already completed but I wanted out of the contract for services not provided. Hannah refused to refund me.
I was so upset not only because I was out over 2k for the makeup I was paying but I needed to find a new makeup artist in less than 3 weeks. Along with the stress this caused me leading up the wedding when I should be enjoying the time, instead I had to scramble to find someone available.
I had to have my husband end up trying to resolve the issues because of the panic attack I had around the incident.
Hannah was incredibly inflexible, mocked my mental illiness and was near impossible to get a hold of to find any solution. She never owned up to the mistake and instead gaslit me into saying I was overreacting to the situation. Mind you she never refunded me for the services she didn’t provide.
I’m writing this specifically so no one/bride should have to deal with this leading up to their wedding day. There are plenty of other makeup artists out there who can better serve you. The hassle and stress this company caused leading up to my day is something that took away from the month of my wedding
KEEP LOOKING! THIS AIN'T IT!
Urbanist Weddings was the WORST vendor that I worked with for my wedding. Ultimately, it came down to me paying in full for two hair stylists months pr...
ior to my wedding, only to have to seek out the second stylist on my own 2 weeks before the event. (Talk about stressful!)
As I have attempted many times to reach Hannah in regards to the refund that I am owed after paying for two stylists and more service than I received, she will not respond and I am out hundreds of dollars.
Hannah (the owner) is nearly unreachable, as others have already explained at great lengths in their reviews. Her communication is terrible. She does not answer phone calls and will only occasionally respond via text.
Do not book this company even if you are desperate. You're better off saving yourself the stress and having a friend or a friend of a friend do your hair or makeup for your event.
READ REVIEWS!! WEDDING NIGHTMARE
Booking with Urbanista Weddings was the biggest mistake of my wedding planning. All the reviews are true. The communication is non-existent, she ch...
anged plans on me last minute, and she charges way too much for so little effort. I booked a year ago and was told I was working with Hannah and booked my trial run no problem. 2 weeks before my wedding day I had not heard from her and I had to reach out twice before I got an impersonal 3 word answer.
The worst part - 3 days before my wedding, I was sent an invite to a trial run with a second artist and no explanation. Unbelievably unprofessional. When I asked what was going on I was told the second artist canceled?? I had just learned I was working with this artist 30 minutes ago and now they’re not available? Another hour+ goes by and I was put with a third artist but she couldn’t accommodate my trial run time so I had to skip that. It was the most stressful couple of hours I have been through in the entire wedding planning process and I really didn’t expect anyone to show up at this point. I choose this vendor for the work I saw online so putting me with a random artist is not what I paid for and honestly I should have done it on my own because I didn’t look anything like I pictured. No bride should have to go through this stress.
I was super excited to work with Urbanista after my trial run with Hannah. I ended up paying in full a week or so before my wedding, which turned out to be a huge mistake. They nev...
er responded to any of my emails after my initial booking and I was only able to get ahold of them through my planner. At the trial I had talked to Hannah directly about the timeline for the day of, when our venue access started, and what kind of looks my bridesmaids were going for. The day before my wedding, I still had not heard from her, but my planner was able to reach out. Hannah then told us that our start time needed to be two hours before we had venue access. We tried to reach a compromise where we would start off location and travel to the venue when we were able to get access, but Hannah said she would have to charge for extra. We ended up cancelling the day before because she was unwilling to accommodate her lack of planning and communication. We spent extra money running to Ulta the night before to purchase makeup for everyone. In the end, we all looked amazing and I ended up liking the makeup I did myself better than what she did at the trial. She is now refusing to give us even a partial refund because she said we were "unrealistic and unreasonable" and it "wasn't her fault".
Please consider choosing someone more reliable who is willing to communicate.
My wife had Hannah from Urbanista Weddings come do her makeup for our elopement wedding. She was very kind, sociable, and did a beautiful job with my wife's makeup and hair. She wa...
s on time, and got everything done before it was time to leave for our ceremony with plenty of time to spare. Thanks Hannah!
Kerrin, my makeup artist was amazing! She is fun, a great listener, and did a great job on my makeup for our wedding! Honestly, it would have been a much more enjoyable process had...
a booked directly with Kerrin, as it was very difficult to communicate with Urbanista. I had to send many emails and text messages before I got a response. While wedding season is obviously busy for any wedding vendor, having clear and consistent communication should be standard.
I worked with Dawn, through Urbanista Weddings, for my hair and makeup trial and wedding day. She was professional, easy to communicate with for last minute timeline changes and re...
ally listened and executed the look I was going for. I loved my make-up: natural but not overdone. And my hair was just gorgeous too- she added fresh flowers from my florist. Highly recommend working with Urbanista Weddings!
Hannah was great to work with! My hair and makeup looked amazing and held all through the day and night (even on a very windy day), and everyone in my wedding party looked fabulo...
us as well! My bridal party included girls that hate to wear makeup, and Hannah was able to give them an elevated look that still looked natural but also photographed well- exactly what I was looking for. And my mom and mother-in-law looked flawless as well. Highly recommend hiring Hannah and her team for your wedding!
Hannah was awesome, would recommend.
Yessie & Yoana of Urbanista Weddings couldn't have done a more amazing job on making me look and feel like the most beautiful bride on the planet. When I asked Yessie to transform ...
my hair and shared my 'looks' with her, she created my vision perfectly (and trust me, it was an elaborate request)! Similarly, Yoanna made my skin look flawless (and my bridesmaids were stunning)! I can't thank these two enough for giving my photographer a MUCH easier editing job! I'd recommend them for any and all events!!!!
Urbanista Weddings is the best, hands down! Hannah did my makeup (as the bride) and then a few of my bridesmaids’ makeup as well, and then her second stylist did everyone’s hair. T...
hey are so friendly and check in during the session to make sure you’re getting the look you want. They use high quality makeup and products that stayed all day, but also looked natural in person as well as photos and emphasized our best features. They helped keep the timeline in check and were fun to get ready with! There’s a reason Urbanista Weddings is one of the top bridal beauty companies in Seattle- they’re professional and talented, through and through. Highly recommended!
Hannah turned me into a princess on my wedding day. From the time I reached out for a quote to the time I left her at our hotel to head to the venue, she was a dream to work with. ...
As a girl who doesn't typically wear makeup or do much with her hair, my trial run showed me that she could bring my exact vision for my simple hair and makeup to life. She talked me into what she knew I needed for pics and also showed me that my hair could indeed hold a curl! She did beautiful work for me and my two bridesmaids (my daughter and my now step-daughter). We all looked incredible and it's entirely thanks to her. The kindness and realness she showed us, even though her day started SUPER EARLY will never be forgotten. Thank you, Hannah!!
I booked Hannah in November for my July 21st wedding. She assured me she would be the artist doing my hair and makeup. She cancelled 9 days before because another stylist of hers w...
as unable to do hair and makeup for another bride that only she could do. This was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Hannah sent me an email about this situation and claimed I was still a priority to me. She didn’t even have the decency to call to let me know about this. She added an additional stylist fee the week before and had to charge me after the wedding for 1 of the people because she didn’t update the contract with the correct information I gave her multiple times. Hair and makeup turned out good by the random people she assigned to us. They didn’t even know who was doing hair and who was doing makeup that. Overall, everything was very unprofessional and I definitely would not recommend this company.
Love!!! Hannah and her team were outstanding for our makeup. They had everything running so smoothly the morning of my wedding, I was so impressed!! They did 7 people, including me...
, and my whole wedding party loved their makeup. A "simple" thing, but all of our makeup matched our skin tones perfectly! I felt like a princess on my day, and I can't thank them enough!!
I would highly recommend using Urbanista Weddings, and specifically using Nicole for both hair and make-up. I did a trial run a few weeks before my wedding and she was extremely ac...
commodating. I felt comfortable letting her know what I was looking for, and she felt comfortable letting me know what she believed would work best for my photos (especially since I'm not much of a make-up person). On my wedding day, she came to where I was getting ready and was done with both the hair and make-up in about an hour. It was everything I could have ever wanted, the hair and make-up was fantastic, and Nicole is just a wonderful person. She was a lot of fun to hang out with and is a true professional. I couldn't have been more happy with having her do my hair and make-up!
Hannah is a makeup and hair GODDESS! I hired her for my bridal hair and makeup as well as hair and makeup for 5 bridesmaids for my July 2016 wedding. Hannah brought Allison and he...
r intern Madison along with her the day of, showing up right on time at the bright hour of 8am, all the way in Suquamish, which is a ferry ride and lots of driving away from where the artists live. Hannah and her ladies waltzed in with smiles, energy, and makeup and hair products galore. We all felt like they were the Glam Squad! I had a group of strong bridesmaids with high beauty standards, yet every single one of them was just as blown away by the Urbanista team as I was. Hannah, Allison, and Madison totally nailed the looks for my girls and I! Ladies, let me say this again: they seriously N-A-I-L-E-D it. I have never felt more confident or beautiful in my entire life and cannot thank Hannah and her team enough for this. I wanted to cry out of sheer happiness when I saw what I looked like - which was like myself, yet with all my features and qualities enhanced to this crazy level of perfection. Even months later, I am still SO happy and giddy thinking about the special experience of getting ready the morning of for my wedding, and the Urbanista team deserves so much credit. My skin and hair looked flawless and stayed perfect the entire day/night - which is no small feat for me! Seriously. Take my lips for example - they are continuously chapped and peeling even though I am extremely well hydrated, and no lipstick or lipgloss has ever been able to last more than a couple of hours. During my hair and makeup trial, Hannah recommend the Tarte Marajuca Lip Scrub, which is one of the best product recommendations I have ever been given. Using this scrub before my big day, coupled with the way Hannah applied my lipstick, made it last all day and night: through lots and lots of kisses with my groom, drinks, food, etc. Ah-may-zing! Hannah is also super fun to work with: she has a ton of pizazz, humor, and you can tell her team totally loves and respects her. Hannah is the type of gal you seriously want to be best friends with. From the hair and makeup trial in her super cute Greenwood studio, to the email and phone communication, to delivering stunning beauty the day of, Hannah and the Urbanista team are going to be around and winning more bridal awards for a very long time.
Awful experience. Hannah, owner of the company, refuses to talk on the phone and takes forever to respond. This causes any little issue to take forever to solve. She ended up telli...
ng me 3 days before my wedding that the hair style from my trial wouldn't work for the wedding and I needed to find another one or go find extensions. Well this caused a ton of stress and on top of it, it took Hannah 24 hrs to schedule a new trial. Honestly, you would think she could at least call me and resolve it quickly! Then on the wedding day, they screwed up the schedule and I wasn't ready on time. It was a disaster and I felt so rushed. Allison, one of the lead stylists is very talented and awesome, but dealing with Hannah and her poorly run company is not worth it. Stay away brides!
Hannah (owner, operator) was late to my trial run. To her credit, 520 was closed. Then again, it was a scheduled closure and as a professional, she should have known and planned ...
accordingly. This made me nervous for day-of, but she was on time on the wedding day (one of her assistants was late).
The MAJOR issue with time was that I kept telling her that the very, very latest she cold finish my hair and makeup would be 11:30, but earlier would be better. I told her I was walking out the door at 11:40 (yes, I only needed 10 minutes to slip on my dress, shoes, and jewelry). She then kept telling me she had until 11:40 to finish. I corrected her every time, but she still finished at 11:45-11:50. This might not seem like a big deal, but we were on a very tight schedule and she clearly showed no respect for that. I was annoyed. We ended up skipping the 15 minutes we had planned for individual photos with our wedding party (seriously, we were on a tight schedule due to limited budget).
As far as the hair - she did an excellent job. My hair trial hadn't gone as well as I hoped, but she made some changes and my hair looked great and stayed that way until the end of the night. I was very impressed because there was a lot of rushing around (some running around, literally) and dancing.
As for makeup, I had made clear to Hannah after my trial that the mascara or eyeliner and bled under my eyes following the trial run. I reminded her of this that day. Same issue. Looking at the photos from the reception, I was pretty disappointed that it looked so unkempt. Initially, however, it looked lovely - I wanted it to look mostly natural, but still look good in photos. It did look great through the ceremony, but not long after. She and her assistants did my mother's hair and a few bridesmaids - their hair also looked great.
As far as personality, she's super peppy and energetic, but is definitely more of a talker than a listener - which is not a huge deal, but may be why she never really hear what time we needed to finish, and never bothered to switch up my eye makeup.
All in all, she did a great job with hair, a good job with makeup. I would recommend her to someone in a pinch, but I'm not confident I could recommend without some warnings.
I had a different make-up artist start to get flaky on me, 3 weeks before our wedding. I went to friends for help and recommendations. Urbanista Weddings - Hannah was so quick to r...
espond and we were lucky enough to book Latay for our wedding, even with short notice! The pricing was completely reasonable. Latay was immediately in contact for a trail run and did an amazing job, she was friendly, put together and I was confident she would due a great job.
Latay was beyond amazing, she showed up bright and early at 6:30am and got everyones make up done in time and we all looked gorgeous thanks to her! We were very happy.
If I ever need make up again I will absolutely be calling them. I have already referred them to a couple of my friends for their weddings and same with a few of our cousins. :)
Hannah and Michelle were a pleasure to work with they made all us 6 girls look amazing! They definitey know what they are doing they also completed everyone in time for pictures.
