Working with LE Glam Team was a fantastic experience! From the initial reach out via email through the wedding day itself, everything with Lisa, Madison & Sarah was a breeze. Madison nailed the soft glam look I was hoping for! She also did a fantastic job making my mom & mother-in-law comfortable with more makeup than they are used to, and truly made them feel amazing. Sarah was awesome in helping me achieve the french twist of my dreams, and giving each of my bridesmaids fun, beautiful hair to complement each of their styles.

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I've been creating beautiful faces for over 17 years and styling hair for over 5, blending my background at major beauty brands with my passion for bridal artistry. I specialize in creating looks that feel like 'you'--from soft and natural to full glam--while keeping your morning organized, calm and fun! I've always loved makeup and its ability to empower and build confidence, and I find true joy in helping brides feel their very best on such a special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was obsessed with my wedding hair and makeup. It was exactly what I requested (light coverage makeup that lasted all day and hair half up hair with waves that also stayed all day but wouldn’t get all knotted from a bunch of hair spray). I was crying or sweating for about 80% of the day and it all lasted perfectly without ever looking cakey/streaky/etc. As someone who never gets my hair/makeup done, I recommend doing a trial. I found I wasn’t super great at articulating what I wanted and my inspo photos were not cohesive. Tiffany was great in helping with each step and giving me different options! She is communicative and flexible. She’s also super sweet and relaxing which is the right type of energy for the morning of your wedding! I would recommend her to any of my friends.

Juliana did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I felt so beautiful. She worked with me during the trial to find a style that fulfilled my vision and did an amazing job of integrating flowers into the style. We even changed the style up pretty significantly between the trial and day of and it turned out perfectly. I was so happy with how the make up turned out. I don't wear a lot of make up normally.

Barbie and her team were so amazing! I had four bridesmaids and two moms getting their makeup done on my wedding day, and everyone was raving about their makeup and hair afterward! Barbie and the team came to our hotel room and set up very quickly, working with a slightly smaller space than they are probably used to, and got everyone done quickly and efficiently, all while making the experience fun and exciting! I am a serious crier and kept losing it through the evening, but my makeup stayed in tact literally ALL NIGHT. I was so impressed and grateful. With Boss Beauty, you are getting quality makeup and the application is quick & painless - as someone who rarely wears makeup and can’t stand the feeling of fake lashes/cakey makeup, the soft glam was right up my alley and exactly what I wanted. I will definitely use Barbie again for my next event, and special shoutout to Shae for seeing my bridal hair vision and executing flawlessly!

She is calm, kind, and fun—exactly who you want to be around the morning of your wedding! And she did a great job with my aunt & mom’s hair and makeup as well, with very little direction.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the glam team that made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Selena has been with me through it all—my engagement shoot, courthouse wedding, trial, and finally the big day. She is truly phenomenal at what she does. Selena has such a great eye for what looks good, while also listening to suggestions and making sure her clients feel comfortable and confident. She doesn’t just “do makeup”—she creates a look that enhances natural beauty, lasts all day, and makes you feel your absolute best. Every time she worked with me, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Jeanette is a true hair artist. Her skills are top tier—she has the hands and vision to bring any hairstyle to life and somehow make it even better than the inspiration photo. She did my hair for the trial, and when I wasn’t sure if it was exactly what I wanted, she was so quick to suggest adjustments and work with me until I felt 100% confident. On my wedding day, my hair was everything I dreamed of and more—elegant, secure, and perfect from start to finish. Katie is so sweet. She actually did my wedding hair for my courthouse ceremony, and on the big day she took care of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well as my mom’s. She made sure each one of them looked stunning while still feeling like themselves. The girls couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved their looks and how comfortable Katie made them feel during the process. And a special thank you to Colette, who handled all of the scheduling. She was so accommodating with my needs and always willing to adjust things when plans shifted. Having someone so organized and flexible made the whole process stress-free, which is invaluable when planning a wedding. This team went above and beyond to make us look and feel beautiful. Their professionalism, kindness, and talent made such a difference on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for each of them.

We offer services up the east coast including MD, GA, PA & Destination weddings around the globe. With years of experience in the industry, I have had the pleasure of working with countless Brides.

I absolutely love working with Brides helping them feel confident and beautiful on their way to say I do. 💍I would love to help you check Hair & Makeup off your list!

Awarded Best of Zola
Omg - from trial to wedding day, Cheryl was amazing! She listened to everything I had in mind for my full look, took into consideration my skin and hair types, then worked her magic. I was blown away by the results, and even the fact that my curls and makeup stayed on all night long afterwards (my hair never holds a curl when I do it myself and I rarely wear makeup so my skin wasn’t use to it). After that, Cheryl had great communication leading up to my wedding day, providing a schedule, sending over prep directions to share with everyone, and even letting me know she picked up a new product she couldn’t wait to try on my skin. On my wedding day, Cheryl and Selina worked so hard to achieve all of the bridesmaids looks and recreate my look even BETTER than it did at the trial, if that was even possible! With 6 girls getting hair and makeup done, plus me as the bride, Cheryl & Selina were able to finish everyone ahead of schedule!!! They felt like they were apart of the girl group and joined in on and made conversation with us, contributing to the good vibes going that morning. I HIGHLY recommend Cheryl/Willow Magnolia Beauty to anyone looking for a hair & makeup artist who can do it all! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and so did my girls!

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%.
