Highly Recommend!

They were fantastic and I couldn't recommend them more. When I went to the trial they listened and were spot on with what I wanted. I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup and it came our perfect. I described to Trista what I wanted but couldn't find an exact picture and she nailed it! The day of the wedding they were on time and ready to go. They had to do hair and makeup for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and the mother of the bride. They had everyone looking amazing right on time. If your looking for a fantastic duo for your wedding day at a fair price, I could not recommend them more!

Brides & Brushes!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Brides and Brushes! They were incredibly understanding, professional, prompt, and right on time throughout the entire day. They were able to create all of the different hairstyles my bridesmaids wanted while making sure everyone felt beautiful and comfortable.
My hair and makeup stayed absolutely perfect all day long, even through the heat and rain! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful they were part of our wedding day. I highly recommend Brides and Brushes to any bride looking for an amazing hair and makeup team!

Fabulous hair and makeup

Trista listened carefully and created exactly the style I described, while also offering guidance and reassurance throughout the process. Most importantly, my hair and makeup looked beautiful and lasted through the entire wedding, the reception, and even beyond.

I was absolutely thrilled with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable stylist for a special event.

4th of July wedding

Trista and Katrina did the hair and makeup for my July 4th wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! After my hair trial, Trista helped me choose a style that felt like me while still making me feel absolutely beautiful. I felt so confident on my wedding day, and I truly have the team at Brides & Brushes to thank for that!

Both the hair and makeup were absolutely amazing. My bridal party and I received so many compliments throughout the entire night, and everything held up beautifully. I’m so grateful to Trista, Katrina, and the entire Brides & Brushes team for helping make me feel so beautiful and confident on such a special day. I would highly recommend them to any bride!

Trista is the best!

Trista was so lovely to work with! She was so receptive to the changes that I wanted to make after my trial. On my wedding day, I told her I was tired and a little overwhelmed and she told me to close my eyes and relax while she did my hair. It totally helped me to take a moment to reset and prepare for the rest of the day. She was kind, talented and reasonably priced. I plan to recommend Trista’s services to any future bride I know!

Wonderful Service!

Trista was absolutely amazing. Her prices were very reasonable and she traveled to provide services. She made me and all my bridesmaids feel so beautiful. Every style turned out perfect and lasted the whole day. Beyond her talent, she brought such a sweet, calming presence to what could easily become an overwhelming morning. She kept everything running smoothly and helped us all feel relaxed and confident. I highly, highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone truly gifted and wonderful to work with! 💕

Kind and Talented!

Trista was amazing to work with! So genuine and kind and worked so fast the day of our wedding! She started at 8:30 and was done by 12:30/1 and did 11 of us, including my husband. Everyone’s hair looked fabulous and fit them all perfectly. And even lasted to the next day for brunch! Can’t recommend Trista enough, she made me feel so incredibly beautiful!
