My hair and makeup person cancelled on me 30 days before my wedding so I was frantic to find someone else. I couldn't afford their top package, but Beauty on Call was able to provide me with a top makeup person for the lower price because they didn't have anyone else available. I was assigned to Sara and she was FABULOUS! She really listened and made me and all 6 of my bridesmaids and my mom look amazing on my wedding day! Plus, we just loved hanging out with her, she was so friendly and she helped distract me from my nerves!

I had a very negative experience with Beauty on Call - my makeup artist TEXT MESSAGED me at 1:30 the day of my wedding (ceremony was set to begin at 5:30 and she was supposed to arrive on-site at 1:45) to tell me she wasn't going to make it due to a bladder infection. This was an individual who I'd had a trial run with and who had spent nearly two hours working on my makeup and writing down each and every product used to recreate the look on the big day. I called Beauty on Call's emergency number to get assistance with trying to schedule someone else - they were dilligent about putting calls out to their roster of artists, but also suggested going to the local MAC counter as a back-up (no, if I wanted to do that, I would have planned that. I hired you because there IS no local MAC counter and I wanted makeup done at my venue!) Finally at 3:30 they called back and said they could send a makeup artist who could be there by 4:30. She came, did a WONDERFUL job on my makeup, and we were only 15 minutes late starting the ceremony. But my mom and sister? They were high and dry on having their makeup done. I can't believe the unprofessionalism that was displayed by a Beauty on Call artist and would NOT recommend this service to any other bride.

I was so pleased with Beauty on Call. I used one of their makeup artists name Lori Thomas, and she was wonderful! She did my bridesmaids, mothers and myself-she was attentive, personable and I was so happy with the results! The quality of the makeup Lori used was fabulous too! It was cry-proof on everybody! I also loved working with all the people who worked there. Stacey Roney and everybody else I talked with were so great!!

Beauty on Call was one of my favorite venders to work with. Originally I had booked everything with a different vender 5 months in advance. I had stayed in touch with the vender making sure she received my deposit, let her know what I was interested in, and then when it came down to booking the trials, she disappeared! I couldn't get a hold of her, I left messages, emails, texts, anything I could think of. Turns out, she took my money and ran. I called Beauty on call 4 weeks before the wedding, frantic to find someone. I had already promised my bridesmaids someone to do their hair, so I had to act fast. When I called I spoke with the owner, and told her my situation. She had heard of the women I had been working with and had heard similar stories. I was heartbroken that someone had ripped me off, but Beauty on Call was more amazing than anyone. I had all my trials and information scheduled, and taken care of within two days of speaking with Beauty on Call. They worked with me, and made me feel great. I was assigned a hair stylist, that was perfect. All of my girls loved their hair, and had so much fun getting ready together. My make-up was perfect too. I really enjoyed everyone I spoke to, and they really made me feel better about what happened with the other vender, because they made everything so perfect.

Beauty on Call did an excellent job. My makeup looked amazing and very natural. I typically do not wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about looking too made up the day of my wedding. I looked in the mirror and almost couldn't tell I was wearing as much makeup as I probably was. I looked flawless but still had my everyday look. My bridesmaids and mother also got their makeup done and everyone looked beautiful.

My make up artist (Nancy) was so incredibly good. She was very professional and listened to exactly what I wanted. I absolutely loved how my hair and make up turned out for my wedding day. I would recommend Beauty on Call and Nancy to anyone. They were a bit expensive but it was definitely worth it.

I was having a really hard time finding reasonably priced makeup and hair people in NYC that would come to my house on the day of the wedding, and then I stumbled across Beauty on Call. Their prices were extremely reasonable and while you need to have a little trust in them to book everything since they're doing it from afar, they get the job done.
My makeup artist, Kai, was great. He was really talented, friendly, and did a beautiful job (i've never looked better) and was wonderful with the rest of the wedding party.
My original hairstylist had to cancel at the last minute - one week before the wedding (totally not Beauty on Call's fault) and they assigned a new person that I did not feel comfortable with at all. I called them to voice my concerns and they immediately found a different replacement (who was a level higher in her experience, but didn't charge me extra) and she was great. Naeemah booked the trial with me the next day and gave the style I wanted her own personal twist that made it even better.
Both Kai and Naeemah were wonderful and they even did an extra person at the last minute without a problem.
For me, it was really convenient to be able to book my hair and makeup artist through one place. And you pay BOC directly before the wedding day, so you don't have to worry about exchanging cash that day. The staff at Beauty on Call was responsive, helpful and I would definitely recommend them for your future beauty needs.

Beautyoncall was my solution to all my problems, they found a makeup artist for me, I was able to work with Mardi at angelfacemakeup.net, she is absolutely amazing. She used airbrush make up on me and it lasted all night and would have lasted longer had I not washed my face. She was great and very flexible.

Great service. Unlike any others I looked into and believe me I researched a ton. A one stop shop for hair, make-up and pampering. Their hair and make-up artists are the best around. True professionals. Both the hair stylist, Raven, and make-up artist, Jill, were incredible. Did fantastic jobs and everyone looked stunning. A little pricey but well worth it because they come to your home or where ever you are getting ready and are great at what they do!

Absolutely fantastic, their hair and makeup artists did an amazing job, and they come to wherever you are getting ready! I had Ghita for hair and Kristen for makeup, both fantastic. The slightly more expensive prices are completely worth it to not have to go to a salon the morning of.

Excellent service already. They were able to provide a local makeup artist in Los Angeles (despite being headquartered in Chicago), and I absolutely loved my makeup artist. She was friendly and professionally and made me comfortable through the whole process, especially since I don't usually wear a lot of makeup. My mom also loved the artist. Beauty on Call's sales person, Rachel, was also excellent, answering all my questions in a timely manner. She arranged for a makeup artist to come to a location of my choice. A preview session was also arranged. The reason I went with Beauty on Call was because they didn't have a minimum number of people for them to come to a location. Other vendors required at least 4 people before they would provide services.

Beauty on Call provided me with a hair stylist (for me and two family members) and a make-up artist (just for me). My advice is to take the "rehearsals" seriously and not be afraid to nit-pick until you're totally happy with the look ahead of time. My hair guy, Steven, was terrific. He was new to BoC, but had done a lot of weddings. He really went the extra mile to help me get ready the morning of, securing my veil, styling my dress and jewlery, etc. He listened to my ideas, made great suggestions, and the end result looked great. My make-up artist was extremely talented, but flighty. She rescheduled the rehearsal a couple of times and seemed distracted whenever I spoke to her on the phone. She arrived late the morning of the wedding and complained about the parking situation to me, which I had warned her about. To her creidt, when I told her I hadn't slept well and was worried about my eyes looking tired, she did an excellent job of modifying my look. The hair service was very reasonable (I chose a junior level artist) and a great deal. I selected a senior makeup artist, and the price was steep. Overall, I was happy with the results.

Beauty on Call was great! They did all of my bridesmaids' hair, my mother, mother in law, and my hair and we all looked great. I also had my make up done by one of their make up artists - Laurie. She was amazing and kept everything very natural looking. Overall, I was really pleased with how everything turned out.
