When it came to hair and makeup for my wedding, I thought I had reached disaster. Just months before the big day, my first trial elsewhere was a complete letdown — the opposite of the vision I had in mind. Panicked, I reached out to nearly every artist in Washington state, only to be met with a wall of “fully booked” replies.
And then, by some unbelievable stroke of luck, the extraordinary Stace Cho of Bridal Beauty Agency was available. She had, for reasons beyond my comprehension, turned down another personal event that very same weekend — and my request arrived at just the right time. It felt like fate.
The very next day, I drove from Blaine, WA, down to Seattle and met Stace at the BBA warehouse. The space itself is worth the price of a trial — chic, professional, and full of inspiration. From the moment we started talking and experimenting, I knew I was in the right hands. I had envisioned a “Galadriel meets Old Hollywood” look for our Pacific Northwest Shire wedding — ethereal, elegant, radiant. Stace absolutely nailed it in just a few hours. She is the consummate professional: on time, fast, no nonsense, and deeply talented.
On the wedding day, we invited her into my mother’s home for an intimate getting-ready moment that set the tone for everything. Stace rolled up in her lifted white Jeep Wrangler, unloading box after box of her immense kit like a true warrior-queen of beauty. Watching her transform my mom — who had never once had her hair and makeup done — into the regal empress she is was one of the most heartwarming moments of the entire day.
As for me, Stace somehow improved upon our initial trial, with her expert tips on mousse and prep making all the difference. And then came the true test: the tears. During the first look, I bawled my eyes out — crocodile tears, the kind you think will melt everything off. I was convinced my look was ruined. But when I looked in the mirror? Not a single thing had moved. I was floored. That disbelief carried me through the ceremony (more tears), the reception (more laughter and dancing), and into the best night of my life — my look completely intact.
I will forever be in awe of Stace’s artistry and skill. She is not just a hair and makeup artist — she is a force, a visionary, and a professional of the highest caliber. That is a talent that deserves to be celebrated and seen by as many brides as possible.
Thank you, Stace, for bringing my Galadriel dream to life. You are unforgettable.

Megumi DeMondvia Google I worked with Stace for my bridal hair and makeup. I couldn't recommend her more!
From the trial (got my hair and makeup done at the trial) through the day-of process, Stace, along with Katya who leads Bridal Beauty Agency, was responsive and easy to work with. Bridal Beauty Agency even facilitated a phone call between Stace and me while I was in my HMU stylist search process (yes, I may have been overly thorough!). Super easy to work with on all ends.
The quality of Stace's work was also so dreamy. I haven't felt more beautiful in my life. As a mixed-race Asian woman, I wanted to work with someone who could adjust her technique based on my not-fully-white and not-fully-Asian features. Stace knew exactly how to do that, and I felt respected through it all :)
She also made my mom look like a movie star with her hairstyle.
Thank you, Stace and Bridal Beauty Agency, for helping make my wedding day so perfect!

Jing Zengvia Google I cannot recommend BBA more!! Stace did my makeup and hair for my makeup trial and the wedding day. She knew exactly what I was looking for, listened to my concerns, and executed the look flawlessly. I was worried about my hair going flat or my combination skin being hard to work with, especially since the look had to last from morning a to evening at an outdoor wedding in August, but everything stayed in place and I barely needed any touching up.
I enjoyed working with Stace and she was so professional, kind and friendly! She kept me relaxed and reassured the whole morning as we got ready. Wedding planning can be difficult, especially when you’re working with so many vendors, but throughout the whole process, hair and makeup was the least of my worries.
Most of the communications I had with booking was with Katya and she was responsive and helpful with all my questions. She had great suggestions as I was planning the timeline and looking for hair extensions, and I never had trouble getting hold of her.
I highly recommend BBA and Stace and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again at my next big event!

JWvia Google Honestly, Bridal Beauty Agency and Stace's services were worth every penny and one of our best wedding day investments. I'm Asian with thin hair and wanted Hollywood glam curls after a low bun. She delivered so well that my hair STILL looked full the morning after, with all the extensions taken out! She asked good questions and was really open to adjusting to my hair/makeup preferences.
My wedding day had a tea ceremony, a western ceremony, and hair change for reception. Stace helped me achieve 3 different looks and they were all so special and beautiful! My makeup was flawless and glowing in all the right places. With both the trial and wedding, my skin felt so healthy the day after, no rashes or breakouts. And if you're a crier (I am), trust me, you need her to stay after for some makeup touchups (not just lipstick)!
Beyond her talent and technical skills, she is truly a wonderful human being. She made me feel really taken care of during the day like a big sister. She was on-time, prepared for everything, and a super calming presence. I was late and stressed when I arrived in the morning, but she made up for the lost time and kept everything on schedule. She also did male grooming for my husband, and our two moms hairs, and she made everyone look SO good! My advice is to get the male grooming so your husband can look just as good as you! We all loved Stace.
Katya from Bridal Beauty Agency was also very patient and kind to work with. Throughout our wedding planning, we threw some curveballs at her and asked a lot of questions, but she was super responsive, understanding, and professional. We cannot recommend BBA enough for the communication, professionalism, and quality of service on the most important day yet of our lives. Thank you!

Brenna Wagnervia Google I wish I could give 6 stars! Meghann created my wedding day hairstyle that exceeded all my expectations. After an initial trial without my clip-in extensions (due to a color matching issue on my end), I requested a second trial for peace of mind. Meghann accommodated this request graciously, which gave me complete confidence heading into my wedding weekend.
For my actual wedding day, I actually gasped when she handed me the mirror. My hair was exactly what I wanted.
We were by the ocean (hello humidity!) and I literally danced all night long and my hair was still beautiful by the end of the night. Beyond her technical skill, Meghann's warm personality made our time together during both trials and the wedding day itself truly enjoyable. She also created the CUTEST hair for my flower girls, a timeless looks for my mom and mother in law.
Bridal Beauty Agency is so professional, they are wonderful communicators, and will work with you, taking your notes & feedback, to make you feel your very best!! Couldn't recommend them more!
