    If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Chrys was more than my hair and make up artist that day. She was my fairy glam mother! She stayed with me all day for touch ups (which my now husband really enjoyed receiving too). She would run over in-between a photo and fix a strand of hair, blotting some sweat, the little things that made my wedding photos truly perfect. There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering why did no one fix that piece! When she wasn't perfecting my look, she was an absolute angel and was helping me walk around with my extra long train and giving me pep talks. When we arrived at the church it all hit me, that the big day was here and I was about to walk down the aisle, she knew exactly what to do and calmed me down while holding a fan to my face for my make up to stay put from tears. She is truly the kindest and most genuine person. I was so lucky to have her with me during that moment! Now... for why you're reading this review, the hair and make up skill. 5 stars!!! Chrys is beyond talented! I loved her work in Instagram and reached out. The truth is, you never know what you're booking in the wedding planning phase. I saw she had an amazing portfolio and was reliable. I can say booking with Chrys was the best wedding planning decision I made! NO NOTES! I'm whole heartedly in love with my look and how it all came out in photos. She took the direction and feedback from the trial and perfected it on my wedding day, I was blown away! I seriously think she was reading my mind! lol. She hit every single detail, she helped mix what I wanted and what would last on a hot June summer day with ease. I felt like a princess! Chrys also did my mothers hair and make up. She's never had it professionally done and is very picky. My mom is OBESSESSED with Chrys and her work. She also said it was the best wedding planning decision I made. After it was all over, we agreed it was so important to have someone who was full of positive and calming energy as you're anxious sitting in the chair all morning. She was exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. A true full package, a fairy glam mother! XOXOX

    Barbie and her team were so amazing! I had four bridesmaids and two moms getting their makeup done on my wedding day, and everyone was raving about their makeup and hair afterward! Barbie and the team came to our hotel room and set up very quickly, working with a slightly smaller space than they are probably used to, and got everyone done quickly and efficiently, all while making the experience fun and exciting! I am a serious crier and kept losing it through the evening, but my makeup stayed in tact literally ALL NIGHT. I was so impressed and grateful. With Boss Beauty, you are getting quality makeup and the application is quick & painless - as someone who rarely wears makeup and can’t stand the feeling of fake lashes/cakey makeup, the soft glam was right up my alley and exactly what I wanted. I will definitely use Barbie again for my next event, and special shoutout to Shae for seeing my bridal hair vision and executing flawlessly!

We did a trial run and it was just beautiful and they accepted and wanted feedback from the trial. They asked for inspiration pictures and were able to achieve the look I was thinking of. As someone with naturally curly hair, looking for a hair stylist that understands and can make my hair look good was something important for me. Prior to wedding day, they asked for inspiration pictures from the bridesmaids. There were 7 girls getting hair and makeup or just one service. The stylist had schedules and we were able to have everyone done in time. We had a great morning with Michelle and Monique and we all looked so great all day long.

From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

What started as a hobby led me to launch my business as a freelance makeup artist three years ago and I’ve since been certified by Lauren D’amelio, Kryolan Cosmetics and twelve international artists from The Makeup Lovers Conference. I also work with editorial clients creating daring yet on brand looks. I have an upcoming project to execute the makeup vision for an ad campaign in Times Square for ShopYahaira Shapewear. Make sure to look out for it!

    Maria Pennacchi Makeup was an absolute pleasure to work with for my daughter's wedding day. Maria was very quick in responding to any questions that we had and was accommodating to making sure she gave us enough time to work with us that morning. She is so easy to talk to and listened when you wanted to add or change something. Maria's quality of work was outstanding - she applied our makeup very naturally and lighter so that there was room for changes. The makeup lasted throughout the entire day and wedding, and Maria made us look extra special. As an extremely experienced makeup artist, she really listens to what you want to look like for your special day. Maria made this experience with getting our makeup done a joyful one.

    Sophia was wonderful to work with! My sister, who is a bit more experienced with hair and make up found her based on her expertise in doing a "no make-up" / "natural" make up look. We did a trial which was so helpful for both of us. The day of my make-up was so perfect and natural, my hair was magical all day as well. My husband even emphasized how much he loved it!! Thank you so much to Sophia and her team!!

    About wedding beauty professionals

    How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

    According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

    How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

    The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

    Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

    Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

    How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

    A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
