Black Orchid Did Amazing!

I highly recommend using Black Orchid! Gina did my hair and Emily did my makeup. My hair doesn’t usually stay curled well, so Gina was awesome with giving me suggestions and using products that helped my hair last on my wedding day! The trial was great because then she had the chance to work with my hair before the big day and suggest how to prep so it would be flawless. We went with a down style like I wanted and it was gorgeous and lasted the night! My makeup was absolutely beautiful and stayed on all night, too. Emily nailed it with bringing my vision to life! Marissa (hair) and Daya (makeup) did an amazing job, too, with some bridesmaids and my mom! I was able to work with four talented ladies and would recommend every one of them. Thank you, Gina, for providing the best glam squad!

10/10 Recommend!

We had a great experience with Black Orchid! Marissa was our artist for hair and did an absolutely amazing job on everyone's look and kept me (The Bride) calm throughout the day. The planning also was made a lot easier with the help of Gina (Owner) and we stayed in constant communication the whole time!

Great experience!

I couldn’t recommend Black Orchid Beauty more! Gina was professional and helpful in getting everything booked and explaining how everything worked. She set us up with Dani and Daya, who both did a fantastic job. I was nervous about makeup as I rarely wear it. Daya was super receptive to this and made me feel really comfortable. Dani was amazing to work with and made sure we were all extremely happy with our hair up until the very last moment.

Amazing Wedding Hair and Makeup!

A lot of crazy and mishaps happened on my wedding day but my hair and makeup and that of my bridal party and mother was absolutely perfect!!! Everyone's look was beautiful, matching their taste, style, dress, and complexion. This was all thanks to the wonderful skill and hard work of our hair stylist Shannon and our makeup artist Daisy! Both were just excellent to work with, professional and kind, and able to understand each person's special request so that we all looked fantastic!

Beautiful job!

Black Orchid Beauty was the best! Gina made scheduling and coordinating logistics extremely easy. Jasmine (hair) and Daisy (makeup) did a fantastic job on each person in the wedding party. I got compliments on both my hair and makeup all night and I felt so confident and beautiful. Would highly recommend their services for any wedding!

Great experience

Shenna did my hair and makeup and did an absolutely amazing job. I was worried about getting makeup done because I never wear any, but she really listened to what I wanted and created a very natural look. I am so happy with the result. Melissa and Marissa did hair for the bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls, and were amazing as well. I highly recommend!

Great experience!

We worked with Gina for hair and daisy for make up and I was very satisfied with both ladies! Everyone’s hair turned out gorgeous and nobody had any issues with pieces falling! Daisy did incredible on our make up. She did a great job elevating our look while not looking overly intense. Definitely would recommend them to anyone getting married in the MKE area!

Highly recommended!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Marissa and Daisy! They made the entire process seamless and stress-free, which is exactly what I was looking for. Their positive and relaxed energy was just what I needed to prepare for the big ceremony. My bridesmaids and I had a blast chatting and laughing with them. They were very professional and they made us all look completely gorgeous! For someone who barely wears more than bronze eyeshadow, I couldn't believe it was actually me! My hair and makeup lasted the entire evening, which seemed like magic.
