Wedding hair and makeup

Great hair and makeup service from Emerald Beauty for myself and my bridesmaids. They were punctual and super friendly. I had one trial with them which was very helpful. Quality of service was excellent.

An amazing experience to begin an important day

Alyson surpassed my expectations with my hair and makeup. I'm not one to do my own hair and makeup very much so I was worried about not looking like myself, but Alyson listened to everything I said and asked for and she delivered! She was professional but also very endearing and great to talk to. I would recommend her services to anyone in a heartbeat.

High quality makeup artist

As a bride, how I looked on my wedding day was definitely one of my top priorities during the planning process. I came across Alyson after looking for local artists that would be willing to travel to the location I would be getting ready at. I booked a trial with Alyson and went to her condo. I showed her one picture of what I was thinking of for my hair, and she went to work. She nailed it on the first try! Needless to say that made me very confident. Next, we did the makeup. I asked for a “natural bridal glow.” She offered suggestions on what would work best with my skin tone while also taking my preferences into consideration. Alyson was the only artist I trialed with that did airbrush foundation — it made my skin look so natural and smooth without the powdery or painted finish that sometimes comes with regular foundations. When we were done the trial and I was happy with the look, she took pictures of everything so if I decided to book she would be able to reference MY trial and not just a stock photo from google.

I decided to book Alyson for my wedding within the week of my trial. I definitely appreciated that every email I sent was responded to within 24 hours, she is efficient and friendly, and is also very affordable! The makeup she uses is quality stuff and my sensitive skin did not react at all!

On the day of the wedding, Alyson arrived early to set up the hair and makeup stations and was very efficient. We had 4 girls getting their hair and makeup done. One of the girls had a last minute change to their hairstyle and she still finished early which really took the stress out of the day. She was well received by all the ladies in the party and was super friendly and relaxed. The 4 ladies in the group were all different ages and skin tones but we all looked amazing! She really knows her stuff! I looked stunning on my wedding day and received many compliments on my makeup and hair. The emergency makeup touchup kit that she made up for me with the breath mint and the blotting paper was super cute as well. If you are looking for a quality hair and makeup artist for your day, Alyson is definitely worth looking into!

Alyson did the make-up and hair for my and my 4 bridesmaids for my wedding.
She showed up on time, as prepared, and actually had all 5 of us done early. Her and the help she brought were pleasant and we all enjoyed the process.
Everyone was happy with their finished looks, and we were actually all finished ahead of schedule. I would definitely recommend Alyson in the future.

Great experience with Allyson and Chelsea!

I had a great experience from the trial all the way until the wedding day. I even went through Allyson to get extensions for my wedding, and she gave me advice on dying it when I texted her randomly one day.

On the day of the wedding, they were efficient and amazing to have around – good vibes all around! Allyson was kind enough to make a schedule so it was extremely easy for my bridesmaids to organize their mornings accordingly – no time was wasted.

Would highly recommend Allyson and her team for your big day!!

An amazing hair and makeup team!

Alyson and the Emerald Beauty team were absolutely amazing to work with! Alyson stuck with us through two years of postponements for our wedding in 2022, which was really appreciated. The Emerald Beauty team did such a great job and everyone was so friendly and fun! A really nice thing to have was the touch up kit that was given to all of the girls to use throughout the day. I really loved my hair and makeup on my wedding day and I highly recommend Emerald Beauty!

Wonderful!

We had two makeup artists for our wedding day and they were both FANTASTIC. Everyone looked absolutely perfect all day long! Alyson even stayed later to help with some hair touch-ups even though we had only booked her for makeup! Very friendly, and quick to respond - we couldn’t have been happier!

Fantastic makeup

Alyson was really easy to work with. My makeup was gorgeous and not too much (I don't normally wear makeup). It stayed all day even through the July heat.

Awesome hair and makeup experience x2!

I've had the pleasure of working with Alyson twice for both hair and makeup for my wedding days part 1 and 2! Due to COVID, my wedding day was split over 2 days, with the ceremony being last year and the reception being this July.

Alyson is extremely friendly, approachable, easy going and easy to work with! She also replies quick to emails. I first met her at my hair and makeup trial and was really happy with how she put together the look that I wanted for my wedding day. I was even more impressed with how she got my hair in a low bun updo, since my hair is fine and does not have much volume at all! She made sure to take pictures so she knew how to replicate and fix the look for the wedding day.

Wedding Day Pt 1 - Ceremony: Alyson was prompt and arrived early to the hotel to do my hair and makeup, as well as my mom's hair. She was so quick and efficient that we were done well ahead of schedule!

Wedding Day Pt 2 - Reception: She arrived early at our venue. She did my MOH's makeup and again both my hair and makeup. My MOH was happy with her makeup as it looked polished and natural. Again, Alyson was amazing in putting together my hair and makeup to look exactly how it did the first time! She also provided both myself and MOH a small kit to reapply our lipstick, which was helpful for pictures.

Highly recommend Emerald Beauty!
