This team is amazing! I wanted elegance but not over the top. They got my vision on the first try at the trial and then recreated it on wedding day. They were incredibly fast and completed six adults and one child in record time while we sipped mimosas and had bagels. Everyone loved their looks and the hair and makeup held the entire night. Highly recommend Nicole, Kristyn and Marcia. read more

I'm truly shocked by the outcome of my makeup for my friend's wedding and shocked that the makeup artist didn't offer to fix or refund the bride. I've had my makeup done by several artists and I've never had such a poorly done look. I am by no means a makeup artist but for many years have loved makeup and doing makeup. I've spent time to research what the best products are, best brushes are and what the best application is for the products. Because of my love for makeup, the bride wanted me to pick the looks and talk to the artists about what we wanted. The bride paid for the whole bridal party to get their hair and makeup done. I was one of the first of five bridesmaids to get their glam done. I felt like the entire process was rushed, I noticed that the tools that were being used were not good and would have poorly blended the products (which was evident from the pictures attached). The tools were also rough and so was the artist. I noticed that the artist was using a wedge to put on my foundation, so I just offered my beauty blender, she looked at me a bit surprised that I mentioned it. Once she started using it she just rubbed the product on, when you use a beauty blender to blot on the foundation which gives it that airbrush, blended look. I will attach a few pictures to this review. The face comparison: Left: Make up after the artist from Bella Beauty was done. My cheek looks black, and dirty, my face is a different color from my neck, you can see all my pores. Per the request of the bride, I took the makeup artist directly in front of a window, so she could see how bad the final look was. She didn't offer to help me fix it, she didn't offer to refund the bride, she didn't apologize, she just simply said "oh yeah, I see it". Right: My makeup after *I* completely redid the whole look. The only thing I didn't wipe off and start over with was my shadow, instead I used fluffy blending brush and some burgundy shades to blend out better, added a shimmer in the inner former, highlighted my brow bone, and then I fixed the winged liner. Next picture: The eyeshadow we picked vs. what we got from the artist Another bridesmaids winged liner was curving down, she ended up redoing her whole look too. There was one more bridesmaid that didn't redo her whole face but had to go back and fix a lot of areas, her face was dark around the eyes and cheeks were like mine were. Thankfully my group was the first to go because I think it helped with the other girls. The last few girls that went ended up looking fine!! I will say that everyone's hair looked amazing and stayed put all night, would recommend for hair but not makeup. Once again, it is just disappointing that the artist had nothing to say once she saw how bad it looked. Weddings are so expensive, especially makeup, I'm not sure how much the bride paid but I definitely think she needs something back for this. read more

I love Bella Beauty!!! We used them for our June 2018 wedding and they were amazing! If you are looking for hair/makeup artists for your wedding in the Newport, RI area, highly recommend! My hair and makeup trial with Nicole was amazing!!! She did such a great job! I don't usually wear makeup, so she did a natural look for me and it looked wonderful. For the wedding, my mother, mother-in-law, bridesmaids, and I all got our hair done. The mothers and I also got our makeup done. Everyone looked beautiful! They are very reasonably priced for Newport and will come to you (within a certain distance) free of charge! We rented a conference room at the hotel where the wedding reception was, and the Bella Beauty ladies arrived early and started doing hair right away! Our hair and makeup lasted all day- from 11am until 11pm! Thank you Nicole, Kristyn, and Marcia! read more

I used BellaBeauty Bridal for my wedding day hair & makeup as well as getting manis & pedis for all my girls the day before the wedding. I would absolutely recommend them. First of all, all three ladies are amazing at what they do. I had a hair & makeup trial before I actually hired them and I brought my maid of honor with me who happened to be getting married four months before me and had already hired a personal friend to do hair for her wedding. While at my hair & makeup trial and after seeing the amazing job Marcia did on my hair, she dropped her hair person and ended up going with BellaBeauty as well. All of my bridesmaids hair & makeup were flawless and they all lasted all day. These girls are also so fun & easy to be around and work with. They are all so personable & nice it feels more like you are getting your hair done by an old friend instead of someone you just recently met. And they are by far very fairly priced for the amazing work that they do. I only looked around at a few other places during my planning process but BellaBeauty's prices were the most reasonable. They are also so accommodating and will work with you to get done how/when/where you want it. They worked with me when my venue was going to charge me extra to use their bridal suite in the very early AM in order to have enough time to get everyone's hair & makeup done. The bridal suite was beautiful and I knew I wanted getting ready pictures there but was not willing to pay extra for it. So instead, BellaBeauty did all of us girls' hair and most of the girls' makeup at their salon and then moved over to my venue to do my and my maid of honor's makeup so I could experience actually using the bridal suite to get ready as well as have beautiful photos of me getting ready. And lastly they are so good at getting back to you with a response to any question you may have. I was probably emailing them once a week with new questions I came up with and they never let more than a few hours go by before I had my answer. So yes, I would for sure recommend BellaBeauty Bridal for any beauty needs you have - whether it be wedding related or just wanting to look nice for a night out on the town :-) read more
