I had the absolute pleasure of getting my makeup done by Kiss the bride and I can’t say enough about how incredible the experience was! From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and really listened to what I wanted. The final look was even better than I imagined flawless, elegant, and still felt like me, just elevated.

I had two experiences with Dannielle and both were amazing. The first one was my bridal preview which was so much fun! I should also note she moved her schedule around to accommodate my preview so I could have my hair and makeup done for my bridal shower. She was very professional, joyful and fun to be around. The work she did was great and I will be completely honest and say that after the bridal preview we ended up chatting and changing a lot of the work she did at the preview because it didn’t make me feel confident/was not what I was I envisioning for my wedding day, it just took me seeing it on myself to realize that. She listened extremely well to my wants and dislikes about anything from the preview and I absolutely loved what my wedding day hair and makeup looked like. All of my girls looked and felt so beautiful as well which was super important to me. Her work both times was impeccable, but I think what makes Dannielle a true professional is the ability she has to take a clients concern/dislikes and adjust her work accordingly. I 100% recommend booking Dannielle for hair and makeup!

Beauty By Ayleen

  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ayleen did my makeup for my wedding day and she did a phenomenal job. She made me feel so beautiful and her products are high end. I trusted her enough to not do a trial session before the wedding day and she didn’t disappoint. I had a really great experience with her and she made me feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to have her do my makeup for my graduation again. Thank you Ayleen!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so happy with how my makeup turned out for the wedding! I highly recommend getting airbrushed foundation—it felt so light and breathable, and still gave me beautiful coverage that lasted all day. I felt confident and comfortable, even in the Hawaiian heat! I was also pretty happy with my hair. The waves looked lovely at the start of the day and complemented my look perfectly. They did fall out a bit later on in the night, but that could totally be because of my lei po’o and all the dancing! Overall, I felt so beautiful and really appreciated how relaxed and effortless the whole beauty process was. Would definitely recommend!

Jena was so amazing to work with on my wedding day! She was only contracted to do my bridal hair, hair for my mom and bridesmaids. On the day of my wedding, the original make up artist called out last minute. Needless to say, it was an extremely stressful situation for me. Jena stepped in to do my bridal makeup without hesitation and with grace. She did a wonderful job recreating the look I was going for during my makeup trial with the original artist.

When you choose The Glam Company, you can expect exceptional service at a competitive rate. If you’re looking for a professional and dependable team, our glam squad is here for you.

I had such an amazing glam experience! I had a large group getting hair and makeup done, and what really impressed me was how organized and flexible the team was. Instead of making our glam session drag on for 8 hours, they simply added more artists to the schedule — and every single artist was just as talented as the next. Because of that, we finished in only about 4 hours, which made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable instead of rushed or stressful. They were also incredibly accommodating and even took a few people who weren’t originally on the schedule the day of the event, and somehow we still stayed completely on time. The entire team was professional, efficient, and extremely skilled. Everything ran smoothly and everyone looked amazing. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a glam team that knows how to handle large groups while keeping the experience fun and stress-free!

I highly recommend Chelsea if you want to have a stress free morning for your wedding! Her calming face mask and essential oils and making me feel like her top priority felt incredible on the morning of my wedding. We also did a trial before hand and the day of my wedding Chelsea listened to all of my concerns from the trial and helped me find my perfect bridal look! If there is anything that I would do a little differently I would make sure there was about 10 more minutes to let Chelsea get pictures and videos of our hair and makeup together! We were a little pressed for time at the end but it was only because Chelsea wanted to make sure I looked perfect and spent her time on me! Chelsea and her team were amazing and I am so grateful I had her with me on my wedding day. Pictures: all to show hair and makeup. Picture with sunglasses is to show makeup after application in the morning and how it lasted all day until 3 am!

Our team is professional, punctual, and understanding, ready to handle any stressful moments. We aim to be a calming presence, ensuring everyone feels beautiful and confident.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Bodacious Bridal. Sonia is incredibly professional and clearly brings years of experience to everything she does. She listens, she guides, and she truly understands how to enhance natural beauty rather than mask it. (While somehow making it seem effortless?!) I would trust her with my life!!! Sonia has done my makeup for several events, and every time I’ve felt confident, polished, and genuinely so good about myself all night long. I also had the opportunity to be a model for one of their styled shoots, and the entire experience was so seamless and fun. I can imagine how incredible it must be to work with them on your own wedding day. When my daughter was asked to her first homecoming dance, Sonia was the very first person I texted. We brought inspiration photos, and she helped my daughter refine her ideas and bring everything together perfectly. She kept her looking youthful, natural, and completely like herself. My daughter was absolutely radiant and I could tell she felt confident in her own skin. Such a special memory for us!! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, trustworthy, experienced, and an absolute joy to be around, Bodacious Bridal is a 10/10 in my book. I will always refer anyone with full confidence knowing they’ll be taken care of like family.
