Highly Recommend! The most amazing, professional and talented makeup and hair vendor that I have ever worked with!

I have so many amazing things to say about Backstage! Working with them was one of the LEAST stressful parts of planning my entire wedding and they brought their talents and fun energy on the day making it all just a dream.

To start, Alejandra was responsive, informative, a clear communicator and super organized. I speak English and was worried about communication, but she speaks perfect English and that was a non issue. The prices were extremely reasonable and even offered some promotions that helped me out with my budget!

This is all without saying how incredibly talented the artists are! I always feel misunderstood by makeup artists and don't love how I look with professional makeup, or that I don't feel like "me". Alejandra was different. She listened and offered suggestions and made me look better than I literally ever could have dreamt! The other stylists were equally as talented and truly worked magic. For the trial (which I did the day of our Welcome Party), they came to my hotel which so convenient, and even restyled me for the party so I looked different. This was such an amazing perk since there is no way I could have made myself look as great as they did.

I summary, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Backstage, they will make your wedding day so much better with their calming and fun energy and then of course make you look like an actual goddess!!!

Loved our experience!

Absolutely loved how all of our hair and make up turned out! I felt it was a great value and wouldn’t change anything! They gave me exactly what I wanted which was a soft and ethereal look. If I could book backstage hair and make up again, I would!!

Backstage Hair and Makeup for bride and bridal party

Backstage Hair and Makeup beyond exceeded my expectations for my bridal hair and makeup. They did hair and makeup for myself, my 5 bridesmaids and mother. The results were seriously stunning. I looked better than all of the inspo pics I showed them. They were friendly, fun, and professional and kept us on schedule for the day. Our hair and makeup lasted all day and all night long, even withstood the heat and humidity of the beach ceremony and dancing for hours. They made my wedding dreams come true and I would highly recommend them! Our artists were Alejandra, Adan, and Karen

Alex and her team did amazing! They were able to get myself and all seven of my bridesmaids plus the MOG and MOB looking phenomenal.

Best decision I made

I cannot recommend Backstage Hair & Makeup enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and attentive, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. They did such a wonderful job not just on me, but on my entire bridal party; including the mother of the groom, mother of the bride, and grandma of the groom. Everyone was thrilled with their looks!

Even in the heat, our makeup stayed flawless and beautiful all day. It was so natural and enhanced each of our features perfectly. Many in our party had been hesitant about makeup due to past experiences, but it was such a refreshing experience to work with professionals who truly listen to their clients while also knowing exactly how to highlight each person’s unique beauty.

Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made getting ready for our wedding an absolute joy. We felt pampered, confident, and radiant, and I am so grateful for their incredible work!

Couldn’t Have Asked for Better, 10/10

Backstage was amazing, Alejandra and Adan were truly a dream team! Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just the kind of people you want around on your wedding day- calm, kind, fun, and so easy to be around. I changed my mind on the hair and makeup look I had originally picked, and they didn’t bat an eye, they adjusted with total grace and made sure I felt confident and beautiful. They kept the vibe relaxed and positive in the suite, kept us all on schedule, and got everyone looking amazing! Couldn’t recommend them more!

Alex and her team were truly phenomenal! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, fun, and positive energy to the room—it completely set the tone for the day. They worked efficiently and flawlessly, making sure everyone felt beautiful and confident, all while staying ahead of schedule. Every hairstyle and makeup look was stunning and held up perfectly through the entire celebration. I can't recommend this team highly enough—they were such an important part of making the day feel effortless and special!

Fabulous to work with!

I had the good fortune of finding Backstage Hair & Makeup to help my sister and her 3 little girls get ready for an important occasion. Johair and Ely did a fabulous job! Every step of the way, the communication was easy and I was very impressed with their professionalism, flexibility and reasonable prices. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Backstage Hair & Makeup to everyone for their big day or any reason beautiful make-up and gorgeous hair is needed.

Excellent and unforgettable experience

Alex and her teammate Adan are incredible. They saved my sister’s wedding. I found Alex in Wedding Wire app but then contacted her through WhatsApp and she responded promptly. Alex is so knowledgeable and has years of experience. She did an amazing job with doing the style I wanted and her recommendations with timing were on point. Alex is highly professional and her English is perfect. She has great taste and she is very gentle. Alex is a true artist. She is working on a masters in colors. I couldn’t find a better makeup artist. I’ll use her in my future events wherever I go. I highly recommend Backstage and I assure you will be a happy costumer like me and my entire family. The products she uses are high quality. Even her playlist and the ambiance she creates is next level and created a whole unforgettable experience.
