I want to make things easier on you when it comes to hiring your beauty team! I’ve put together a list of 8 things you should look for when hiring for bridal hair and makeup.
8 Things You Should Look For When Hiring Bridal Hair & Makeup
- Make sure they’re the real deal. Professionals will:
- be licensed and insured.
- know the latest products, techniques and trends.
- be up to date on sanitization and safe practices.
- have the necessary supplies, equipment and lighting needed for the job
- Read the reviews!! It’s even better if they have multiple reviews on different sites such as:

- Do your research. You should be able to find the beauty team or professional in multiple ways.
- Do they have a website?
- Are they on some of the main online wedding websites?
- Trust vendor referrals! They know first hand the best in the industry.
- Are they active on social media?
- Check out their portfolio.
- The hair & makeup aesthetic should align with your vision.
- They’ve done the same type of look you desire.
