Highly recommend Rare Bird Beauty to any bride searching for an incredible glam team. Their hair and makeup artists are truly the best—and so sweet to work with. Courtney did my makeup and Laura L did my hair, and I have honestly never looked better. We also had Jenn and Anastasia on-site providing hair and makeup for nine bridesmaids and two mothers of the bride, and they made the entire morning seamless and so much fun. Everyone looked absolutely amazing! The owners, Jen and Ioana, are also very involved throughout the process, including scheduling, to ensure everything runs smoothly.

I had the best experience working with Rare Bird Beauties for my wedding! They listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process (and they did the same thing for all of my bridesmaids and MOB). My hair and makeup looked flawless all day and photographed beautifully. They were professional, calm under pressure, and such a joy to have around on the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for people who are talented and reliable!

We worked with Rare Bird Beauties for hair for my October wedding, and couldn't be happier! Francesca did an incredible job. I was so happy with my hair, and my bridesmaids, mother, and MIL also loved their styles- which held all night. Rare Bird Beauties was incredibly communicative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you also to Rebecca, who did my rehearsal dinner hair, and Jen who arrived at the venue for my pre-ceremony touch-ups. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I absolutely loved working with Rare Bird Beauties for my wedding! The whole planning process was easy and enjoyable. I was matched with Stephanie (makeup) and Angelica (hair), both were amazing! They captured my vision perfectly and made me feel so beautiful. My hair and makeup were everything I dreamed of and lasted all night long. Truly worth every penny!

Jen did our (both bride and groom) hair for our wedding in July 2025. She really listened to what I wanted and did a really cute boho style low bun. For the groom's hair, she did this upbun that looked amazing! Both styles were not in her portfolio but based on her portfolio I could tell she was versatile and could do anything so we hired her. We were both so pleased with our hair that day and couldn't have chosen a better hair artist! Thank you Jen!
