Beautiful, Comfortable Hair and Makeup Styles
I cannot recommend Viva La Glam enough! They did the hair and makeup for my wedding, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are some of the sweetest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. They created such a fun and relaxing atmosphere that I found myself sitting and chatting with them even after I was finished because I genuinely enjoyed their company!
Every single person in my bridal party absolutely loved their hair and makeup. They listened to everyone's preferences, made each person feel beautiful, and the results were stunning. Even better, our hair and makeup lasted all day and night through the Texas heat, happy tears, and dancing.
One thing that really stood out to me was how much they genuinely cared. Jen even stayed a little longer to help my mom with her necklace before the ceremony. It was such a small act of kindness, but in the middle of a busy wedding day, it meant so much to our family and is something I'll never forget.
They truly made my wedding morning one of my favorite parts of the entire day, and I honestly wish I could get married all over again just so I could spend another morning with them! If you're looking for a team that is talented, professional, kind, and makes you feel like you're getting ready with your best friends, Viva La Glam is the team for you. I can't recommend them enough, and I am so grateful they were part of my wedding day! 💕

I truly had the greatest experience with Viva La Glam, and I've never felt more beautiful! My bridesmaids and I had a fantastic time with all 4 of the artists that we had (Chanel, Esme, Lauren, and Isa), and they were all so nice. They went above and beyond for us and made a stressful day a really enjoyable experience :) Chanel and Esme were the artists that did my hair and makeup, and they were phenomenal! I highly recommend using Viva La Glam!

Hi there! I created Viva La Glam years ago with the dream of making every client feel next level confident by the time they leave my chair. I’m definitely a workaholic which means you can always reach me to discuss wedding details. When I’m not working (the rare chance there’s down time), I am reading, on an outing with friends, or...playing with make-up! It’s an addiction 😂

Jen and Val are amazing! To start they make sure they meet your exact needs by showing inspiration pictures, learning your skin/hair type and checking in with you during the whole ...
process. After the trail they will follow up asking for notes and feedback for the wedding day and have everything documented.
On top of them being so organized they are just BEAUTIFUL and fun people. They make you feel comfortable, beautiful and most of all they make you laugh. Alyssa and I had so much fun with them not only during our trails but on wedding day. If you want a phenomenal team with great company book them right now! I wish I had more events to book because I just loved them so much!!!

inning, Jen was so responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. I really appreciated the phone consultation because it made me feel comfortable and confident that they understood exactly what I was envisioning for my wedding day. They were also incredibly accommodating with my busy teacher schedule when it came time to set up my trial.
For my wedding day look, I told Chanel I wanted a glowy, natural, fairy-princess vibe, and she absolutely nailed it. My makeup looked beautiful both in person and in photos, and most importantly, I still felt like myself. Cedar created the most gorgeous hairstyle, and it held up all day through the Texas heat, happy tears, and my dramatic Taylor Swift dress run.
My bridesmaids looked and felt amazing too, and everyone had such a positive experience. On top of being incredibly talented, they brought such a calm, fun energy to the morning that made getting ready feel even more special.
I’m so grateful they were part of our wedding day and truly can’t imagine the experience without them. Thank y’all for helping me feel so beautiful on one of the best days of my life! 🩷

I was beyond happy with choosing Viva La Glam for my wedding! Val and Jen felt like good friends I could open up to with their fun personalities. This made prep time on the wedding...
day so stress free. I'm really not much of a makeup wearer, but this was the one day I wanted to look and feel like my authentic self. Jen did an outstanding job giving me a natural makeup that reflected my personality and didn't feel heavy, while still giving that whimsical bridal look I wanted. Val took inspiration from some reference photos I gave her and made me do a double take with how awesome of a job she did on a cute up-do. I always felt like I have flat, thin hair that's too frizzy to do anything with. When it was all done I had so much volume and a cleaned up look I couldn't believe I was looking at myself - in a good way! Our wedding took place outside on a sunny and windy day. Even through a whole day spent taking photos, running through a field, and dancing my hair and makeup looked as fresh as the start. I'm definitely recommending Viva La Glam to friends and family.

We can’t say enough good things about Viva La Glam! They absolutely nailed the look for two brides and six bridal party members. Jen did our makeup and perfectly delivered the mini...
malist, low-maintenance looks we wanted—enhancing our natural features with just the right touch of glam. Valerie created updos for both of us that beautifully captured our different personalities and styles. She also went above and beyond styling my sister’s hair with care and expertise—she has trichotillomania and wears a hair unit that requires specific products, and Valerie handled it flawlessly.
Beyond their talent, Jen and Valerie were an absolute blast to get ready with—fun, upbeat, and perfectly matched our wedding morning energy. They made the whole experience joyful and stress-free. Highly, highly recommend Viva La Glam for any couple looking for artists who are both incredibly skilled and genuinely wonderful to be around.

ems to make it easy on you.
The artist we were assigned, Chanel, was AMAZING. We had six people for her to work on, starting at 9:30 in the morning. She arrived early and finished everyone on time with no stress or rush. She was perfectly efficent while being wonderfully friendly.
And the result was GORGEOUS. Everybody looked amazing. Most of our crew had no idea what they wanted, lol, but Chanel used everyone's natural look so incredibly, it was like the final look was still them, just glam. We were all wondering how she did it, especially with a fairly tight schedule of 45 minutes per person. My mother-in-law even brought her own makeup supplies for Chanel to work with, and Chanel rolled with it and did a wonderful job.
And most importantly (we can admit it), she captured my look, the Bride, exactly how I wanted it. I felt like a Princess as soon as she revealed her work. She looked at the Pinterest board I made, asked a few questions, and then gave me the look of my dreams.
If you want an easy process with good people, and incredible results, pick Viva la Glam!

air and makeup, and one flower girl that needed hair for my wedding.
It was a little chaotic in our get ready suite; all of us women + 3 kids under 2, and one newborn. The Viva La Glam ladies were amazing- just added to the fun!
It ended up pouring rain during the ceremony, but we were still getting compliments about how amazing our hair and makeup looked afterwards. I was even getting photos from the girls the next day, all surprised their hair and makeup still looked perfect!
If you ever need hair and/or makeup done, these are your girls. They made me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day, and you can’t ask for much more than that!
Thank you ladies again for being amazing!

made getting ready enjoyable! Thanks for your professionalism and for being quick to respond to emails and texts. Thank you for also being flexible to hop on the phone multiple times during the planning process to discuss things with me as we planned and got closer to the big day. I also appreciate that your team worked so well together with my wedding coordinator. Overall a 5 star experience with Viva La Glam! The only thing I would change is having more payment options on the day of. Viva La Glam was the only vendor that required cash (all other forms of payments would have some type of service fee and as a bride with a budget, I did not want to have to spend money a service fee). I feel that allowing a check or Venmo option would have made things easier for us. Otherwise, all in all a great experience! :) Viva la Glam will not disappoint if you are looking for a professional team of talented hair and makeup artists!

Did I mention that they made everyone so gorgeous?! They knew how to accentuate the beauty to make it over the moon for all of us. My family and friends found the fun to be around and loved the results. The makeup held from morning to late night of 2 AM through sweat and tears. Just so incredible. We loved how we looked and definitely loved working with them. Can't wait to work in the future with the girls for future circus performances and photoshoots but definitely recommend the team. They're a blast to be around and can totally glam. 10000 stars would recommend for anyone looking! Beautiful souls and team to work with.

I absolutely loved working with Heidi!! She was so amazing. I have curly hair and hooded eyes, so I was very nervous booking a hair stylist/makeup artist (I've had some bad experie...
nces in the past). I waited until about 2 months before my wedding, so I had a moment where I didn't think I would find a HMU stylist. I'm so happy Viva La Glam had availability!!
I did a trial with Heidi and it made me SO excited to work with her. She helped me to figure out exactly what I wanted and also gave me advice for what would look best. On the wedding day, she was punctual and accommodating. A few of my bridesmaids got their hair/makeup done (they looked absolutely beautiful, btw) and she finished early with them. She was ok with waiting for me before doing my hair and makeup (because I was too busy crying over notes from my bridal party and wanted to get the tears out so I didn't ruin my makeup). My hair and makeup ended up absolutely perfect. I felt so beautiful and confident, and I absolutely love how it looked in photos!! My makeup and hair also held up very well through lots of tears and the heat/humidity of our early June wedding, so extra props for that!

look absolutely stunning!!! They made my vision for my hair and makeup come true! It was perfect. My girls looked hot! They all felt beautiful and sexy. I felt incredibly beautiful. And trust that your hair and makeup will stay on through years and sweat from dancing all night long. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to becoming a regular client with Viva La Glam. Thank you so so much!

Viva La Glam were amazing to work with for my wedding! From the day I first contacted them, they were always so friendly and responsive in answering any questions I had throughout ...
the whole process. I booked them early in the year for my recent December wedding, and they helped me with my hair/makeup trials, hair/makeup for my engagement photos, and made my bridesmaids and I look perfect on my wedding day. Our hair and makeup artists Franky and Jai are super talented and did such an amazing job. I felt beautiful the whole night! I highly recommend them and the rest of the Viva La Glam team. Jen, the owner, is also very friendly and was awesome too. Even after the wedding is over, I would definitely come back for any special occasions that need some extra glam!

I went looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly makeup artist at the last minute and was struck with the best luck finding Viva La Glam! Jennifer was super quick to respond and excited to wo...
rk with us. My concern was mainly for my wife, who is trans woman who hasn’t fully transitioned yet. I wanted to make sure she not only felt comfortable with her makeup artist but also had someone who knew what would work best for her. She was able to do a trial in studio to figure out what she liked and what worked well for her. Anita came to us on our wedding day and did both of our looks. Not only did she do a FABULOUS job, she also made us feel super comfortable and confident on our special day! I also felt very comfortable with the pricing of their services. I can’t say enough how thankful I am for this team and I highly recommend them to any bride, but especially to any queer person getting married! 💖

I hired Viva La Glam for my and my girl's hair for my wedding day. Turquoise was my stylist and she did such a fantastic job with everyone. We all felt beautiful! She also did a gr...
eat job of checking in with me to make sure I liked everything, and made tweaks where I wanted! Jen (the owner/manager) was also so easy to work with.
The prices were $135 for bridal hair, $90 for bridesmaids/moms, and $40 for my flower girl.
They also do makeup, but I cannot speak to this as I used someone else for makeup.

I can not say enough amazing things about Jen and Val!! From consultation to my bridal trial all the way to the day of, Jen was amazing and Val did awesome on everyone’s hair! They...
are so fun and had everyone relaxed on what is a pretty stressful day. They were so accommodating to everyone in my bridal party which was 4 bridesmaid, two flower girls and my mother and mother in law. I highly recommend Viva La Glam to anyone wanting amazing hair and makeup done in a great environment. My makeup lasted the whole day which of course included tears during my first look with my dad and my first look/vows with my husband. I have never felt more beautiful and all my girls looked amazing! Love this team 🤍

h very friendly and personable and worked well with everyone. When it was my turn in the chair, I was able to relax knowing they were on their A-game. Both my hair and makeup stayed put and on the entire night, even after all the dancing and running around. If I ever need hair and makeup artists again, they’ll probably be the first people I look for.
