*Writing a wedding review from my husband's account :)* I dreaded picking a hair and makeup artist for my wedding and as someone who rarely wears makeup, I had no idea where to start. I delayed and delayed, which led me to a bit of a time crunch. Thankfully, Michael Fels Beauty was available and one of the best choices I made for my wedding. From the very beginning, Michael made me feel completely at ease. During my consult, he asked what my worries were right away, really listened, and then put a clear plan in place to address them. That level of care and professionalism immediately gave me confidence that I was in the right hands. He also gave a real take on how many artists I would need for the number of people I wanted services for, whereas it felt like some other places I contacted were trying to sell me when they may not have enough people to get the job done right. My makeup artist was Suzanne, and she was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous about my makeup looking cakey or flaky, especially because I normally don’t wear skin makeup and I’ve honestly never liked how it’s looked on me in the past when I've been in weddings. At my trial, I was genuinely blown away. My skin looked glowy, fresh, and natural, exactly what I had hoped for but didn’t think was possible for me. I even wore the makeup for my bridal shower in 30-degree heat and it held up beautifully all day, which felt like a miracle. On the wedding day, it was just as perfect. My makeup looked amazing from start to finish, photographed beautifully, and still felt like me. Suzanne was also so kind, genuine, and calming to be around. It was a pleasure talking with her at my trial and on wedding morning. My hair was done by Jiya, and she was every bit as kind and talented as Suzanne. She was so warm, down to earth, and easy to be with, and she absolutely nailed the look! The trial was a super helpful experience and well worth the money because it let me see what I liked and what I wanted tweaked, without any pressure. After the trial, Michael did a great job soliciting feedback and making sure every detail was noted so that on the wedding day everything would be perfect. I appreciated how seamlessly the team integrated my feedback. There was no awkwardness, no resistance, just a clear goal of getting everything exactly how I wanted it. On the wedding day, I truly loved my hair and makeup. Everything was perfect. The team was also amazing with my friends and family members. Everyone felt comfortable and happy. The results were consistently natural and pretty without being over the top. They were efficient and organized, and with the help of an additional artist who kept things moving, we were all ready on time without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a bridal hair and makeup team that is incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely caring, I can’t recommend Michael Fels Bridal enough! Thank you!! -Emily

I hated planning a wedding and got to a point where I was purely hiring vendors on vibes because I was so tired of researching and planning and comparing.... When I first met with Michael, I knew his stunning work spoke for itself but it was truly his energy and vibes that made me go, "yep, gonna need this man right here on wedding day." Fast forward to wedding day, I was a mess - tired, emotional and overwhelmed and the way Michael and his entire team (shout out to Presley, Jiya and Carley) brought lightness, and joy and positivity and fun to the morning, was everything! They were prepared to work with all hair types and textures and made all my girls look so beautiful. Easily one of the best decisions I made for myself that day. Also - come on, he made this rag doll look like a god damn princess. 15/10 recommend Michael and team. Just so thankful!

We had the best experience with this team for our wedding! Michael did my hair and makeup, and we also had Ekaterina, Jay, and Orin doing makeup for my bridesmaids. Everyone looked and felt absolutely fabulous. I was a little worried about the 35-degree heat since most of our day was outdoors, but my hair and makeup held up perfectly — I had so many compliments on how fresh everything still looked hours later. The team was professional, talented, and so easy to work with. I can’t thank them enough for helping us feel our best on such a special day!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Michael and his team of stylists and artists for my wedding back in May! Michael unfortunately couldn’t be there because I had to change dates but he was still able to accommodate me for my new date and paired me up with Karla as my bridal stylist. Karla was lovely to work with - easygoing, funny, meticulous and adaptable. I experienced this with my trial run and most importantly, on the day of! After my trial, I was honest and upfront about what I liked and what I wanted to be changed for hair and makeup. Karla and Michael were super accommodating and Michael was very flexible with my requests and answered all of my questions promptly. He also prepared us so well with instructions on how to care for skin and hair leading up to the wedding - so thorough and professional! His team on the day of was awesome - Anastasiya, Gaenor (special shoutout as she was just so sweet!), Elena and Karla. Everyone was so lovely and all of the ladies that got their hair and/or makeup done had such positive experiences, which I am so grateful for - we all felt beautiful 💕🌟 Would HIGHLY recommend Michael Fels Beauty for hair and makeup - you will be in great hands 🫶🏼 Will always remember our positive experience for my special day. Thank you, Michael!
