Do not hesitate destination brides!
Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ciao Bella! I saw Alda and she is amazing, a true artist and a beautiful soul. I have never felt so beautiful! Loved the salon and everyone was a pleasure to work with. Can’t say enough good things about my experience! -

Michelle Bertelli of Ciao Bella Salon came to Amara Cay Resort The morning of our wedding to do hair and makeup for me, the bride, my Maid of Honor and my mother. Michelle is so talented and a delight to work with! We all looked and felt gorgeous the day of my wedding thanks to Michelle! She was sweet, flexible, lovely and unflappable because we had people coming in and out of the bridal suite that day! I cannot thank Ciao Bella and Michelle enough for making our wedding day so beautiful and perfect! I felt fantastic for my wedding!!Ciao Bella Salon and Day Spa's reply:
Thank you beautiful Kathleen ❤️ Congratulations on your wedding and your journey as a married couple.
Hugs, Bella -

I had originally booked hair and makeup with a salon/spa in Marathon two months before my wedding. They called me 24 days before the wedding to tell me there was another bridal party that day and asked if I could push my appointments back and I’d also have to come into the salon, instead of them coming to me. To say the least I was upset, that because I was responsible and booked ahead of time that they would even consider calling me to ask me to rearrange my appointments to accommodate this other bride. So 24 days before my wedding I went in search of someone else to do my hair and makeup. I had heard great things about Ciao Bella Salon/Spa, so I called them. They booked me an appointment and asked me what time I’d like to come in. I arrived and the Salon was gorgeous and the staff members were very nice. I met with my hair/makeup stylist, Erin. First time meeting her, on my wedding day!!! I showed her some pictures and away she went. She is so nice, loved talking to her and she listened to what I wanted. My makeup was perfect. In fact, a couple days later I contacted her and asked what foundation she used, because it was perfectly color matched to my skin tone. And my hair could have not turned out more beautiful! My hair stayed put all night and my makeup lasted through a night time of dancing! I will be seeing Erin and Ciao Bella Salon/Spa again soon. They have found a new customer!
And again, a huge thank you to Erin!! You nailed it! ❤️ -

Alda was such a pleasure to work with. My planner LMae events suggested using Ciao bella and my hair and make up we're on point every time! They were even able to see my husband the day we were getting married last minute and did a perfect job. I can't say enough about how great this place was! -

My wedding planner, venue and multiple other people recommended Ciao Bella as the top hair and make up artists in Islamorada! I’m so happy I hired Michelle Bertelli with Ciao Bella to do my wedding make up! Booking with Bella at Ciao Bella was so easy and she’s so sweet. Day of my wedding Michelle was sent to do hair and make up and Jeanne did make up. They both did a beautiful job! They were on time and progressional! We all loved how they executed our inspired looks! -

Michelle was amazing!!! I did a trial with her before the big day to nail down the details. She is SO sweet and made me feel very comfortable. Day of the wedding Michelle, Stephanie, and Alda came to Largo Resort to do all the girl’s hair and makeup. I loved working with Michelle and cannot recommend her enough! -

Wedding Hair and Make Up
Ciao Bella did my wedding hair and make up and I could not be happier with my decision! They are friendly, communicative, easy to work with and incredibly talented!
Michelle did my hair and make up and I am over the moon with my results. I did a trial with her about a year before and she even went above and beyond, giving suggestions for rehearsal locations which we were so happy with.
The make up stood the true test of time, lasting through me jumping into the pool at the end of the night! I cannot recommend them enough and am so happy I went with them for my wedding. Love Ciao Bella and especially Michelle! -

Sonya H. Sent on 05/18/2021Love this awesome place!
This place was absolutely perfect for my family. We got our nails, and toes done here then the next day had them do our hair and my (bride) makeup. Every thing they did was absolutely perfect. The owner, Bella, is super nice and called a few times to double check on us. I'm not much into makeup, but I actually had them do mine, and I'm so glad I did. It looked very natural and just enough to make me beautiful. We showed them pictures of our hair and I think our hair came out prettier than the photos! Thank you Ciao Bella crew! -

Erin C. Sent on 05/07/2021Best H&M ever!
I wanted to take a moment to thank Bella, Michelle, and all of the girls at Ciao Bella who got me and my girls ready the morning of our wedding (Renee, Alda, Sabina & Bler). Not only did we pretty much have one to one coverage for my girls hair and makeup, which kept our H&M schedule perfectly on time and even EARLY (that never happens at weddings, right? Being early!! LOL), but everyone looked absolutely stunning! They managed to bring out the most beautiful aspects of every girl while still looking like themselves! They even were able to rein in my 3 and 6 year old flower girls to do their hair! My hair and makeup, done by Michelle, was exquisite. Michelle and I had a trial for my engagement shoot a little while back so she already knew me, my skin, my hair, and my style so I felt completely comfortable the day of and trusted her to do whatever she wanted and I could not have been happier! My hair and makeup stayed so well it even stayed after we took a little post-wedding after party dip in the ocean!! Thank you all, you were an absolute dream to work with. Any bride getting married in the Florida Keys – Ciao Bella Salon is the THE ONLY place you should use for your wedding day!! -

I hired Ciao Bella for hair and make-up for my wedding. Michelle was an absolute dream to work with, starting with my trial and ending with the wedding day. She was patient and efficient, listening to what I wanted and taking her time to get me ready for my big day. Her work is just stunning - my hair and make-up lasted all night and I got so many compliments. Ciao Bella was so helpful in planning, answering multiple phone calls and proving details and organization that was very helpful for planning a destination wedding. I took my mother and other members of my bridal party for mani/pedis the day before and they took such good care of us! The day of, we had three stylists come out to our hotel and create the most beautiful looks. Thank you all! Michelle and Bella - thank you from the bottom of my heart. You helped make my dream wedding come true. I highly recommend Ciao Bella for all your styling needs when in Islamorada! -

Alli Sent on 10/17/2019Wonderful!!! Love, love, love!
Not enough can be said about the crew at Ciao Bella Salon. I had the full service treatment from a spray tan to trial hair and makeup to gel mani and pedi to wedding day hair and makeup. All top notch and I would highly recommend to any bride and bridal party looking to get pampered during their wedding stay in the keys. Renae was absolutely lovely and saved the day with my overly blond hair. She made me feel so very beautiful with a toner AND the trial and wedding day hair and makeup - WOW!!! I felt like a model. Juliet is a wiz at creating gorgeous nails and I loved my spray tan - lasted for a whole week +! Bella and crew will make you feel so very special whether on your wedding day or if you're looking to just have an amazing spa and salon experience. I am a client for life!Ciao Bella Salon and Day Spa's reply:
Thank you so much beautiful Alli! You truly enjoyed you at Ciao Bella. Congratulations and wishing you the best on your new journey! Love Bella -

Lisa Sent on 11/11/2019Caring and wonderful
Sabina was fantastic and so sweet. She arrived at the wedding venue and did makeup for all the bridesmaids plus myself, mother of bride and mother of groom. Everyone raved about her. We all looked beautiful.
Bella throughout the entire process was so easy to communicate with .
My daughter couldn't have been more pleased that I chose this establishment for her destination wedding.
I highly recommend. -
Sarah Sent on 04/06/2018Michelle was simply amazing. We had no trial but she came in and knew exactly what I wanted.
I only showed her one or two pictures and the result was even better.
Thank you Michelle!

Whitney Sent on 09/10/2019AMAZING Makeup and Service!
My only regret with Ciao Bella is that I didn't call them sooner! I went around and around with other local makeup artists who either didn't listen to what I was looking for, or were just outrageously expensive. I had basically given up on trying to find anyone within the price range my bridesmaids were prepared for and what I thought was reasonable. Finally I was exasperated and only a few weeks from my wedding. I thought there was no way Ciao Bella would have availability for me during peak season and at the last minute.
From the moment I spoke to Bella, I felt at ease. She was SO sweet to me, so accommodating, and seemed like she truly cared about our special day. It meant so much to me. There were a few other weddings booked for our day, but she assured me she had someone perfect who would be there.
She sent Sabina, an angelic make up ninja goddess! Sabina showed up early to set up, and was ready to get started even before planned! She started with my mom, and did such an amazing job. My mother wears makeup daily, but I had never seen her in such gorgeous makeup. She looked absolutely stunning. Sabina listened to my mom, used her professional judgement, and just did a fabulous job accentuating her beautiful features without going too heavy!
She was done right on time and ready to start my makeup!
Sabina listened to EVERYTHING I said, took her time without going overboard (I've heard horror stories of MUA meaning well, but throwing everyone way off schedule) and did an overall AMAZING job. My makeup was absolutely perfect and photographed so well! It stayed on and in place all afternoon until the early morning hours, despite a lot of hugs, sweating, tears, wind, more tears, and overall craziness of the day.
Sabina was so sweet, kind, caring, and did a fantastic job. I was beyond happy and would absolutely hire her again!Ciao Bella Salon and Day Spa's reply:
Thank you Whitney! We love what we do and thank you for noticing it. Sabina will be very happy to read the wonderful review.
Wishing you the best and hope to see you again soon.
Love Bella❤️ -
