Belle did my hair and makeup for my wedding reception on 10/5. She was punctual and professional, and I loved how my hair turned out. I don't usually wear makeup and was a bit worried about getting it done for the first time and not looking natural. Belle reassured me and checked in throughout the process to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. Although I'm not used to seeing myself in makeup, I was really happy with the result, and my friends said it looked great. I'm so glad I had Belle to do my hair and makeup that day. It saved me a lot of headache and stress. read more

I am so impressed with Belle's makeup and hair service I got for my wedding day. We did a trial a few months before the wedding day to make sure we had a game plan. She helped me come up with a beauty routine which helped my skin clear up so much on the actual wedding day. My eyes were puffy the morning of the wedding day, and Belle was so prepared and had an eye mask ready that helped clear things up after she did my hair. Not only did they do my hair and makeup, they also did makeup and hair for our mothers and bridesmaids as well as my husband's hair. Everyone looked stunning! Belle and the team were professional and responsible. They showed up right on schedule and followed the timeline to the tee. Belle had a wedding day emergency kit which was such a lifesaver for us while we were getting ready together. Belle was great to talk with during the services - I felt calm and cared for. It was the perfect way to start our wedding day, and I could not recommend her more! I feel so lucky to have had Belle be a part of the best day ever! read more

I can not recommend Belle enough!! When I knew I was going to elope to Santa Barbara for my wedding in March I didn't know who to reach out to for hair and make up. I did a lot of research and when I was up there in December for another wedding, I did a trial run with Belle. It went absolutely perfect. She listened to exactly what I wanted with hair and make up so when it came to the big day in March it went so smoothly. I felt so beautiful. Thank you Belle for being a rockstar and listening to exactly what I wanted. I hope to cross paths again one day. read more

After my trial I had zero concerns about how I was going to look on our big day. The day of our wedding, Belle showed up right on time and glammed everyone.
