Bride and Bridesmaids Were Glowing!

Kelsey and Melissa at Beauty Asylum ATL were absolutely fantastic for my wedding bridal party and myself (bride)!! I looked stunning and all my bridesmaids were glowing. Both ladies kept the morning upbeat and on-schedule, and kept the getting-ready process positive! Everyone looked beautiful, they were able to do any and all hairstyles anyone wanted, AND they were so much fun! Would definitely recommend, and personally credit Kelsey for making me feel like my absolute best self for my wedding day!!

Can't Say Enough Great Things!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company!!! Hubby and I did a destination wedding and I knew I wanted hair and makeup done since these photos will last a lifetime.

Jessica (owner) was quick to answer any and all questions I had. I was mildly nervous to hire anyone since we are located in Texas and the wedding was destination but everything went perfect without a hitch.

Dailyn and Kelsey did a phenomenal job for my rehearsal and my wedding. I gifted my wedding party hair and makeup and SO glad I did. I got SO many compliments on both days. Both makeup and hair lasted the full night, each time. I felt so beautiful and their customer service was top notch.

Will recommend them to anyone getting married!

Mallory and Kat were amazing!!

So happy with our decision to go with Beauty Asylum. Initially I had booked months in advance with another company closer to where we were getting married in WNC. After a trial I was devastated and really freaking out as we were only 4 months away from wedding day. Jessica was able to fit me in for an emergency trial the following Monday and I LOVED their work. They took their time and really listened to what I wanted. Immediately knew I was in good hands. We ended up with Mallory for hair and Kat for makeup for our July wedding. The scheduling process was so easy and they were able to travel 3 hours for the wedding which was much appreciated. Outside of the accommodating service, the end results were PERFECT. My hair was everything that I imagined and held up through the whole day. I got SO many compliments on the makeup and still am when I show the pictures to friends. Forever thankful to these two for being available and doing such an amazing job!

Flawless from first look to last dance.

Beauty Asylum (special shout out to Dianna & Katherine) were incredible from trial to aisle. My hair and makeup lasted through happy tears, hugs, and nonstop dancing, and I still looked flawless at the very end. Professional, calm, on time, and SO talented! ♥️ They listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed the looked. Every bridesmaid and flower girl felt beautiful and the schedule ran like clockwork. Thank you again!

August 2025 Bride

I hired Beauty Asylum for my wedding, and they were nothing short of amazing!!! When I first got engaged, I didn’t know if I wanted to have my hair and makeup done for my wedding. As it got closer, I decided that I did. Anna Whiting was my makeup and hair artist and she truly made me feel like a princess. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process, and made sure I absolutely loved how I looked. She stayed to do touch ups on my bridesmaids, and helped me put my veil in even though it meant she had to stay a little longer. I cannot express my gratitude for her expertise and genuine customer service. She is truly the best!!!

Outstanding Talent and Service for Bridal Hair and Makeup

The entire Beauty Asylum team was professional, so very talented, and knew exactly what products to use to achieve the hair and makeup looks of our entire bridal party as well as the MOB and MOG. The team made our entire day leading up to the ceremony both fun and enjoyable; they made sure each of the ladies was more than satisfied with their individual looks and made themselves available for touch ups prior to their leaving. To stay on time, provide excellent service, and to make us all feel and look amazing was no small feat, but they did it with grace and top notch talent.

Great experience

The artists from Beauty Asylum ATL who helped with our wedding (Maddy, Blare, and Marina) were phenomenal. My mom generally doesn’t like how other people do her makeup so we did a trial for her and I and Marina was fabulous. We both liked our hair day of even better than the trial because Marina had been thinking about how to make it better! Our hotel messed up the extra furniture that was supposed to be brought up for the team but the stylists were total professionals and made it work. The bridesmaids all complimented the stylists and their work. We had such a great time getting ready! Beauty Aslyum was one of our favorite vendors we hired and I would highly recommend them to others.

Stunning Wedding Hair & Make Up!

I booked a package with Beauty Asylum Atlanta for my bridal hair and make up as well as hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids, both of our mothers, and my husband's grandmother. We had a variety of different styles/preferences, ages, skin tones, hair types, etc. and our Beauty Asylum team did such a fabulous job with every single person. All of my ladies looked (and felt) beautiful and walked into our wedding feeling great about their looks. My stylists asked for all of my preferences beforehand (for my look as well as the rest of the ladies) to ensure that everything would fall within my vision, but they also worked with each lady on the day to make sure that they were happy and well taken care of. I do not consider hair and makeup to be a strong skillset of mind, so I was pretty worried about my wedding day look. I wanted it to be perfect but was not well versed in how to make that happen or would would/would not be possible. My main stylist, Mags, was not only amazingly talented and knowledgeable but she was also so fun to work with, reassured me often, and was flexible & communicative throughout the process. During my trial, we talked through my thoughts, ideas, concerns, and of course my Pinterest board. We workshopped my look together and continued to talk through it afterward to adjust any curls that fell, makeup that smudged, etc. We put the whole thing through a stress test in order to be sure that we could make adjustments for the wedding day. I felt so well taken care of. She assuaged all of my fears and left me feeling like the most beautiful bride for the entirety of my wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I also want to mention how wonderfully flexible the team was. They worked with me ahead of the wedding day to iron out every detail of the timeline, change of locations, multiple artists, etc. Then, when an unexpected power outage threw all of our plans into a tailspin on the wedding day, they were kind and flexible in adjusting the plan and making do with the amenities and resources available to us. They even helped us clean up and lock up our airbnb when we had to rush off to the wedding venue in a hurry (because the power came back on). In summary, my experience with Beauty Asylum Atlanta far exceeded all of my expectations. I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them for other brides looking for a spectacular hair & makeup experience!

Married on 4-29-23

Beauty Asylum was one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning. Jessica was super responsive throughout the whole process and took care of the scheduling and quotes. Anna was my on site hair and makeup artist. She is one the sweetest and most talented H & MU artists I’ve ever worked with. During my trial Anna did exactly what I wanted and then made it even better by glamming up my look even more. She exceeded my expectations by far day of the wedding. I felt like the most beautiful bride. Michelle was the second hair and makeup artist on site for the wedding day and she was very amazing and talented. I was so impressed with everyone’s finished looks. I would highly recommend Beauty Asylum to any bride looking for very talented, professional, and organized team for hair and makeup.

Hair and makeup for bride and family

An absolutely amazing team!
BeautyAsylum made my wedding prep experience wonderful from beginning to end. When I first reached out, I had several questions and sent several emails, and either Jessica, Magali, or Mallory would respond quickly and clearly.
Lynette did my makeup trial as well as the makeup on wedding day, and she was so sweet and was able to do exactly what I had wanted.
Lynette and Mallory did hair and makeup for my family, and they made the experience so fun and memorable for us.
I highly highly highly recommend BeautyAsylum for any bride looking for an organized and kind team for hair/makeup! It will be a great and stress-free experience :)
