Heather did an absolutely amazing job for my wedding hair and makeup. We did a trial to perfect my look ahead of time and she absolutely hit it out of the park. She not only made my hair and makeup perfect for my big day but my nerves were at ease. She even last minute incorporated a necklace my mom brought for “something blue” into my hair, and jumped in the help her apply her lashes. Heather was a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

    Barbie’s makeup application is absolutely flawless! Her professionalism and dedication to her trade is truly admirable. I’ve seen many MUA throughout the years, but they don’t come close to Barbie’s work. As a professional retoucher and photographer, I’m pleased with how minimal retouching is done with her clients. The skin tones are perfect and matched perfectly, which makes the editing process much smoother. I highly recommend Boss Beauty for all your makeup needs.

    As a person who had never been glam before, Emily and Sarah made me super comfortable and had realistic expectations. THANK YOU for explaining why 18-inch extensions would be beneficial, and I am thankful for trusting you. My hair and makeup were freaking epic! I wanted old Hollywood Glam with smokey eyes and, being 48, requesting glowy skin instead of baked. Sarah made all my bridesmaids feel gorgeous with their makeup, and our hair was perfect! Most of my bridesmaids had been BM before, so they were expecting to feel insecure and not sexy. All five were so impressed they felt and looked beautiful. I have never been called "Stunning" before my wedding day. On that day, Emily and the team not only made me look stunning, but they also made me feel stunning. My hairstyle with the 18-inch clip extensions was done perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, and the glow that was used on my chest gave me the most beautiful glowing skin. Thank you so much!

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.

Through email communication to our first trial, it felt so natural and fun and I felt like we clicked immediately. Our trial was fun and she made me feel very comfortable to express things that I liked, didn’t like, or things I may not have been comfortable with. I made a last minute color pallet change from our trial to wedding day and she was on board ready to go. My nerves were so high the day and she was able to pull me out of my anxiety and nervousness and allowed me to take any space or simply acted as a really wonderful sounding board as I was expressing any of my insecurities. She made me feel strong and beautiful and she kept her positive composure throughout the entire (long) morning. Her second artist, Sandra, was a saint and really rocked it. It was really important for me to find an artist who works well with mature skin also, I wanted everyone to feel beautiful. My mom and mother-in-law looked STUNNING! Amber is a pure soul with a beautiful talent - I am so pleased to have booked with her. : Kasie Romagno Photo

    I’ve been creating Glam and natural Bridal looks for over 3 years and learning the latest trends with makeup in New York. 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.

    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%.
