Wander

The team at Wander is incredible! Super talented artists who are responsive, up-front, and detail-oriented. I had the best time getting ready the day of my wedding with Bethany and her team - hiring Wander is a decision I’d make over and over again!

Bethany is absolutely amazing. I could not have been happier with how she did my hair and make up, both for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. All of my bridesmaids also said she was the best artist they had every worked with out of all the weddings they had collectively been to--which was a lot! Bethany can do literally any type of look you can imagine--I wanted something very natural and she did that beyond perfectly. I normally don't wear much make up and she created such a natural, polished look that really seemed like "me". But, she has such a broad range of talent and looks that she could also do something super dramatic and glam. Bethany was so fun and nice to be around too on our wedding day and worked literally through lunch to finish everyone's looks. She also rushed to the wedding ceremony site when we had a slight emergency with my veil--literally going totally above and beyond. I truly don't know what I would have done without her and I could not recommend her more. She will make you look and feel like the best version of yourself possible--and makes sure you have fun while doing it. Bethany is the BEST!! I think everyone should book her for their wedding!

Choosing Wander for wedding hair and makeup was the absolute easiest and best decision I made for my wedding. I met Bethany through Wander Salon where I get my hair done regularly. Bethany is not only exceptional at what she does (my hair and makeup for engagement photos were perfect) but she is absolutely the best human on the planet. When I learned she was already booked for my wedding day, I actually considered changing the date! But then I met Mandie on the Wander team and knew that Bethany had surrounded herself with equally wonderful people, also extraordinarily talented at what they do! Working with Mandie was a dream. She made everything so easy, had us ready in ample time and on top of it all, I truly felt like the Wander team were just some of many friends surrounding me on my big day. I consider myself so lucky to have found this wonderful group of women and cannot sing their praises enough!

I can not say enough good things about Bethany and her team from Wander. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Bethany was always available to answers questions, super supportive, and helped my vision come to life - and made it even better than I imagined. I was so in love with the trial we did for the wedding that I even asked her to do my rehearsal look as well! I have never felt more beautiful in my life, everything was perfect! Bethany and her team were also really fun to be around! It was so fun having them there on the day of the wedding to hang out with the bridal party and I. All of my girls looked gorgeous and were ecstatic about their hair and makeup! I will use Wander in the future for ANY and all events. They are the absolute best <3

Bethany is the sweetest human and most talented artist! She did my rehearsal look and the Day Of hair & makeup for our wedding in April of 2022 at Umlauf Sculpture Garden. I originally met Bethany when I was a bridesmaid for another wedding. I loved not only her work (which is a-mazing!), but I noticed the calm energy she brought to a big day that can feel so stressful. I knew I needed her on my team, and am so thankful I trusted that. She was always responsive and clear in communication, and she worked with me during our trials to find just the perfect hairstyle and makeup. I was so at ease when the big day came, and LOVED the results. I felt beautiful and confident, which is how every bride should feel. I could not have asked for more. Book Bethany!

Bethany is the best! I found her through my wedding planner, Ashley Moody, and I’m so glad I connected with Bethany! She did an amazing job in my hair and makeup for my wedding on 4/30/22, and my rehearsal look for the day before. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We did 2 trials and she was very patient with me in terms of experimenting with different looks. She, along with two other makeup and hair artists, did 9 day of looks and everyone loved them! She was able to bring out all of our natural beauty. There were lots of tears and laughter and all of our makeup (and lashes) lasted all day. When you hire Bethany, you also hire a confidant and friend! She was there for any questions and support I needed when I had to reschedule my wedding from 2021. I’ve also gotten haircuts from her and she’s extremely knowledgeable. I can’t wait to go back and get my hair and makeup done again by her!

Adore! From our first consultation and trial with Bethany at Wander Weddings I just felt so at home and comfortable with her and in her shop. She did makeup and hair for my daughter’s wedding, and at our first meeting, we were very impressed! She was so professional yet caring and relatable. It felt like we were just hanging with girlfriends doing our hair and makeup. Same for our destination wedding. She was on time, professional, did an AMAZING job on our entire family. Again it felt like we were all just hanging out getting ready! She made the whole experience enjoyable, fun, worry-free…plus she made us all look our very best selves without looking so overdone and like someone completely different. I believe her prices to be competitive and fair, but after hiring Bethany, I feel like we got an exceptional deal! Bethany and Wander were organized, communicated well, were receptive to what we wanted but also made suggestions on how to enhance our hair and makeup in ways that only professionals know how to! We loved working with Bethany and could not recommend her and Wander more highly!

Bethany did a fantastic job on my bridal hair and makeup. It couldn’t have been more perfect. My hair and makeup stayed through the entire night ( saying a lot bc it was hot, humid, and there was a lot of dancing)! Her styles are very versatile and she was great for me bc I was unsure of exactly what I wanted and she asked the right questions and gave recommendations. She also has great vibes and we enjoyed her company and professionalism while getting ready. She is extremely professional, punctual, and talented.

Bethany was wonderful!!! My makeup was flawless and my hair was beautiful. She’s a wonderful calming presence also. She’s Wonderful

Bethany was AMAZING to work with! She was very professional, yet friendly the entire time. She made me feel relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful during my wedding weekend. I let her bring her own vision to my hair and makeup look and am so glad I did - it was exactly what I wanted and more. Bethany is so talented and I could not have asked for a better experience working with her!

Bethany is not only one of my favorite hair stylists, she's one of my favorite people! She is so sweet, laid back, professional, and amazing at what she does. She drove in from Austin to Houston to do my hair on my big day, and it was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her!

Bethany did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She understood what I wanted and it came out so well. I honestly can say I’ve never looked better and it gave me so much confidence. She was extremely friendly and was also so nice when we had to make a last minute change. She also did my bridesmaids hair and my mom’s makeup and they all loved it as well. I would highly recommend Bethany!!

Bethany did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and she truly went above and beyond! Leading up to the actual day she helped me determine what makeup and hair style I loved but also what looked best for me. One of my favorite things about Bethany and the way she runs her business is she truly takes into account the way everyone’s face and desired makeup style is. On our wedding day, she helped each of my bridesmaids and mother with makeup that was both full coverage and long lasting but also accentuated everyone so well. As for my bridal hair and makeup I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I felt gorgeous and didn’t have to worry about touch ups even with all the dancing. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Bethany and her team more. They’re professional, efficient, and most importantly genuinely care about making your day special and memorable!

As mother of the groom, I wanted to look my best. I knew it would take a professional as I have no clue about what is age appropriate makeup is for such an event. Bethany was recommended to me by my stylist. My up-do was stunning and exactly how I anticipated it to look. My hair stayed put all night as did the beautifully done yet subtle makeup. My two friends also joined in on the services. We drank mimosas and had a fun time while we were being pampered. I would definitely recommend this service to all "mature" women wanting to look and feel great for any special occasion.

I have followed Bethany’s work for years and dreamed of the day I would have a reason to book her. My sister announced her proposal last year and the second she asked for recommendations I immediately said Bethany and booked her myself for the whole party. Her talent is incomparable. I have never felt as confident and beautiful as I did leaving her chair. I gave her full creative freedom and she created such a beautiful look. The makeup felt soooo light and lasted the ENTIRE day. I got home late that night and went to go wash my face. When I looked in the mirror it was as if it was just applied. I was sad to see it go but was amazed at how easy it was to remove. I thought I would have to scrub with how flawless it still was but the second I used makeup remover it melted off like a dream. Bethany as a person is a blessing! She was sooo fun to work with she kept the atmosphere light and full of laughter which calmed those pre-wedding nerves. She is just such a treasure I cannot recommend her enough! She works in the Austin area so the trip fee was my gift to my sister and it was worth every penny and more. You will NOT regret booking her. Absolutely amazing in every aspect. She did 6 girls in total and the wedding coordinator changed plans on us last second and we had to be at the venue sooner than planned. She was able to adjust to the time change and still give mind blowing quality. She is very talented, knowledgable and time efficient. Just book her and thank me later.

Bethany did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding back on 11/7/2020. To say she did a fantastic job is an understatement! She was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She was on time, got us all done (6+ of us) and everyone was absolutely in love with their day of look! She has such a talent for bringing out everyone's natural beauty. My makeup lasted ALL DAY, and there were LOTS of happy tears so I was thrilled when I got to the hotel that night and looked as if I had just got my makeup done. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone and everyone!

Bethany was one of my favorite vendors that I worked with! Not only is she a hair and makeup wizard, but she was also so patient and fun during the whole process. I had my first trial done in May 2020, about the time when the world still thought things would go back to normal by fall. Fast forward to September, and it was clear that our wedding was going to be much, much smaller than originally planned. When I suggested a more casual hairstyle to reflect the change, Bethany kindly offered to do a second trial. As expected, the result was beautiful and perfect for our "big" day. Bethany was such a joy to work with, and we had a blast chatting and laughing. I will definitely be using her again for future events!

I was co-matron of honor at my friend's wedding and Bethany did our makeup. I've had my make-up done by various artists throughout the handful of weddings I've been in, but Bethany's work is by far my favorite!! I felt great in the makeup, and she gave me exactly the look I was going for. I find myself wanting to have my own event just so I can book her myself 🤣. I highly recommend her for any event!

I can’t rave enough about this gem! Bethany is seriously a master at her craft. She made me feel SO beautiful for my wedding and rehearsal. A COVID wedding and some last minute schedule changes she handled all like a pro. This girl is just good vibes!!

Oh my goodness, not enough words could even cover how thankful I am to Bethany and her team. I got married on September 21st and through a pandemic, Bethany was absolutely amazing. Not only is she professional, on time, quick, and respectful, she is talented and really takes the time to get to know her clients. She made my makeup and hair dreams come to life! Bethany cares about her clients and the products she uses, which is another great reason to hire! After using her for my trial and wedding day, Bethany gave out little gifts to pamper before and after the big day. If you are looking around for a hair and makeup artist, look no further. Bethany is your girl! 😊

Where do I start? Bethany is one of my all time favorite Hair & Makeup Artists in Austin. When someone like Bethany shows up to take care of my brides I take a deep breath of relief! Bethany obviously does a beautiful job but additionally she is prompt, professional, and doesn't take "extra work" trying to guide her on top of making sure the bride is taken care of. This is a major compliment in the industry! I love working with her and recommend her to all my brides! I've been a wedding venue owner/manager in Texas for 8+ years and worked with so many wedding pros and learned lots of lessons. Trust me, Bethany is as good as it gets! And she lights up the room!

I am so thankful that I found Bethany! Not only is she a wonderful, kind human but she is a magician with hair & make up! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on our wedding day. Bethany made the entire process seamless from when I first booked to when I had to suddenly change dates because of Covid-19. We also did a make up trial and she shared with me some tips to help my skin get ready for our big day and my skin has honestly never looked better! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! I will also continue to book her talents for any future events that I want to feel my most beautiful and glamorous! Thank you for everything Bethany, you're the best!!!!

Bethany did my hair and makeup for my wedding day along with some of my bridal party. She was so amazing to work with and made all of my dreams and pinterest pins come to life. Everyone really enjoyed working with her and we all looked stunning! The makeup and hair stayed all day. I couldn't recommend Bethany enough.

Bethany did my hair and makeup for my wedding back in January and she did a phenomenal job! Everyone thought it looked very natural but also brought out my best features. She also worked on my bridesmaids and mother-in-law as well, and made them look stunning. The best thing about Bethany though--besides her incredible talent--is her patience, attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond. She made sure to stay long enough to help me get my veil on which would not have looked as good without her help. She is both fast and thorough and committed to making sure every person who passed through her hands looked incredible before leaving the room. I cannot recommend Bethany more. It was a huge blessing to have her part of my big day!

I worked in the wedding industry for 6 years and have never seen a better hair and make up artistst. So when it came to my big day Bethany was the first person I contacted. Her make up and hair styling was the best purchase of my entire wedding! We were fortunate enough to have her for our entire wedding weekend! She was able to do both hair and make up for my rehearsal dinner and my wedding day. My husband and I both agree I have never looked or felt more beautiful! I was stunned by the combination of her professionalism and personality that made my wedding day prep so much more enjoyable.

Bethany is truly the sweetest and most talented hair and makeup artist! She truly does a phenomenal job! She has great communication during the planning process and on day of she kept to the tight timeline I needed. So thankful for her! Highly recommend!!!

Bethany did hair and makeup for my daughter's bridal portraits and also for all the bridesmaids. She knows how to make the MOB look amazing without looking "painted up" as my grandma would say. Bethany is a true artist. She took our vision and created magic. Beyond that, she is a pleasant calming presence. She knows what she is doing and doesn't get flustered with all the activities around her. She just steadily takes care of each person AND every person comes out unique and gorgeous. She is beautiful inside and out. Love her... her heart and her style. She never disappoints.

Bethany has been my stylist for over 5 years! Before her I bounced from stylist to stylist, and none of them could ever cut or style my hair the way I asked… I was always left disappointed. After the first time she cut my hair I knew I had found my hairstylist soulmate! Whether it’s a bob cut, long layers, or styling my hair for my wedding day, Bethany has always gone above and beyond! She even cuts my sons hair who is autistic and has never made it through a haircut without crying. But Bethany had him smiling throughout his entire haircut! It was a miracle! He even calls her aunt Bethany now. ❤️ I highly recommend Bethany whether it’s a simple cut or a special event she will treat you like family and you will leave her chair feeling absolutely beautiful!!!

Bethany is simply the best. She was my go-to originally because of her talent but I quickly realized what a gem she truly was because she LISTENED. I cannot say how many times a MUA or hairstylist has pretended to listen to what I want and then create something different. Bethany would spend so much time talking through each detail with me to make sure we were on the same page and I always felt absolutely understood, beautiful and CONFIDENT. She slays an updo, can tease like no other (I have tried learning how she does it, I never will), and is the queen of applying false lashes. I've already hired her for my wedding in approximately three years, after I meet the man. She has become a true friend and Texas is a little less happy without her.

Bethany worked magic with my hair and make-up for my Texas wedding in May 2015. Being an older bride, I was hoping for miracles and Bethany didn't disappoint! I felt young and beautiful again, and the look on my husband's face when he saw me made me blush. I will forever be grateful to Bethany for making me look so elegant and stunning on my wedding day. I highly recommend Bethany Elyse!

Bethany did my hair and makeup for my wedding in November. She did an absolutely amazing job! My makeup has never looked so good! I got so many comments from friends who just saw pictures saying how soft and beautiful my hair looked. I wish she could make me look fabulous every day!
