Never felt prettier than on my wedding day

Samantha, Lourdes, and Savannah made the dream team for getting ready glam for my wedding! The studio was beautiful and welcoming, plenty of room for my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL to move around and enjoy. Everyone was very impressed with how Samantha made inspiration make up photos come to life and how Savannah and Lourdes made our hair just perfect for the day. My hair and makeup were extremely long lasting - I got my makeup done around 7-8am and my lipstick/stain was still there after eating, drinking, and kissing (lol)!

A great company to work with and I definitely will be coming back for non-wedding related glam.

Soft, romantic glam and natural styles ✨

Samantha and Christina did such an AMAZING job for my engagement shoot this past Monday in Asheville. I wanted to find a local make-up artist who specialized in soft, romantic glam and natural styles. Prior to the shoot we chatted about inspiration photos, likes vs dislikes, and overall styles. Samantha really took the time to learn about me. She and Christina were so easy to talk to and even gave me tips for everyday styling and comfort. I was really nervous about booking the right HMUA when it came to a destination engagement shoot, and I’m so happy I made the right decision to go with Blue Waves Studio. I also found that the pricing was so much more affordable than other studios in Asheville. 100% recommend them for your hair and make-up needs!!! (📸: Blue Waves Studio)

So glad I found them!

Samantha and Tina were absolutely great to work with. They were both very flexible with our schedule and very kind. Tina styled my hair for a trial and also the morning of the wedding and her work was absolutely wonderful! Highly highly recommend Blue Waves Studio

Incredible Bridal Hair + Make up!

I loved working with Samantha and Mandy on my bridal hair and make up trial and on the wedding day! My hair and make up were better than I could’ve even hoped for and I’m so thankful for such a great experience! Highly recommend!

Bridal Makeuo

Samantha really pays attention to detail in applying bridal makeup . She listened to me as a client and with her artistic skills gave me the look I wanted. She was on time and on budget and fun to be around- she has a way of turning a potentially hectic event into a relaxing spa experience-I highly recommend her for all you makeup needs. I am scheduled also to get my first tiny tattoo and looking forward to it!

I had an amazing time getting ready for my engagment photo shoot thanks to Samantha Olsen! She did a great job listening to exactly what I wanted for my make up and I really appreciate the time she took to make sure every detail of make up was neat and perfect! The pricing is great and worth it! Samantha was so kind and responsive!

Great experience!

Samantha and Victoria were my stylist for my elopement at the Yellow House Inn. Both ladies were very timely, professional and did excellent work. They are very comfortable in new environments and very efficient at their jobs. They cater to what you like in terms of your style. 10/10 recommend. My hair and makeup stayed fresh and in place all night.
