My bridal party and I worked with Carleen (hair) and Trish (make up) for my wedding in Oct. 2023.

My bridal hair and makeup experience was exceptional, both during my trial and actual wedding day. I don’t know much about make-up and didn’t have a firm sense or ability to describe what I was looking for, and Trish and Carleen were warm and patient as they provided hair and skin-care education, brainstormed accessory options, and created magic based on photos I brought in during my hair and make-up trial. I was also an out-of-state bride and their flexible ability to do a trial on a Sunday so that I could travel to their salon location was critical. After my trial, my commute back home involved taking a train, two subways, then walking a few blocks in the rain. When I got home, my hair and makeup still held up and looked phenomenal!

For the wedding day, we also used Carleen and Trish for my bridal party’s hair and make-up as well. They were flexible, warm, and able to adapt their tools for the differing hair textures and complexions of my bridal party. They traveled to us to provide services on site, and ran a tight ship so that we stayed on schedule even while providing a few touch ups as requested by my bridal party.

Working with Chameleon Brides for hair and make-up was worth the investment - they provided exceptional advice on how to take care of my hair and skin leading up to my wedding day, and executed professional services for myself and my party which held and looked phenomenal for the entire day. It was a relief knowing that I could rely on such an experienced team as an out-of-state bride!

I had a makeup trial that I wasn’t 100% satisfied with and was strapped last minute looking for hair and makeup with only 2 weeks before my wedding. I was panicking and searching everywhere for someone who would take me so last minute. That’s when I stumbled upon Chameleon Luxury Bridal Services in theKnot! The reviews looked great and so I went and looked at their Instagram page. It was exactly what I was looking for. I reached out and got an email and call immediately from Carleen to say that she was available for my wedding. The responsiveness I received took so many worries away. I was able to schedule my trials before my wedding and felt assured! On the day of my wedding Carleen took care of my hair and Taylor did my makeup! Both women arrived on time and had a clear schedule on which person would go first for hair and makeup making the process smooth and seamless. They both worked so efficiently I didn’t feel rushed at all in fact they finished before we even anticipated. Despite having a rainy wedding date, dancing, sweating, and many tears she’d my hair and makeup lasted the entire night. I had an updo for my ceremony and wanted to have the option to take my hair down for the reception for a different look. Midway through my reception I took out my pins and my hair was perfectly curled. Unfortunately I don’t have my professional photographs yet as I just got married but rest assured these ladies are it! They listened to everything I wanted and if I changed my mind about anything last minute they were incredibly flexible. They communicated well, take in all of your thoughts, and make up feel wonderful on your special day.

Carleen and her team were great! They were easy to work with and gave me exactly what I was looking for!
