The very best!!!

Working with Carleen and Chameleon Brides was absolutely amazing. Carleen took the time to make sure my hair was exactly as I wanted on my wedding day! I had a large wedding party & family doing hair/makeup (13 total girls) and the Chameleon Brides team made sure that everyone was done on time and looking stunning!! Thank you for everything - it was such a pleasure to have you part of my special day!!

Highly recommend!

Chameleon Bridal did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, they were so easy to work with—booking was simple and stress-free!

The hair and makeup artists were incredibly kind, professional, and truly talented. As someone who does not wear a lot of makeup not only did they make me feel beautiful, but like myself. They also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Everyone looked beautiful, felt their best, and also felt so relaxed throughout the process.

Even with a bit of rain, our hair and makeup held up perfectly all day and night. I felt like the best version of myself and I’m so grateful to the Chameleon Bridal team for being a part of such a special day. Highly, highly recommend them!

Absolutely Fantastic!

The artists here are amazing! They are top tier professionals! They made my wedding day so much less stressful with their extensive knowledge, punctuality, and organization. Leading up to the day, Carleen was quick to respond and quickly helped get through any issues. They worked hard and listened to me to captured exactly the image I wanted! We had a very short time frame and they organized everything to ensure we made it- Carleen came herself to ensure my hair was exactly the way I wanted it! Everything was perfect thanks to Carleen, and her girls!
