Michelle was awesome to work with. We all loved our hair and makeup and enjoyed our conversations while getting ready. Would recommend!

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Michelle Bertelli at Ciao Bella Salon in Islamorada for many years, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional hair and makeup artist. As a fashion and wedding photographer, I’ve collaborated with Michelle on countless weddings and editorial shoots, and her talent consistently leaves me in awe.

Michelle has an incredible ability to enhance her clients' natural beauty while bringing their visions to life. Her attention to detail and artistic flair are unmatched, and she stays ahead of the latest trends, ensuring that every bride looks stunning on her big day. Our work has been featured in several high-profile bridal magazines, a testament to her skill and professionalism.

What sets Michelle apart is her warm personality and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. She listens to her clients, understands their needs, and works tirelessly to achieve the perfect look. Every time we work together, I know that my clients are in the best hands.

If you're looking for a talented hair and makeup artist who delivers breathtaking results, look no further than Michelle Bertelli! I wholeheartedly give her a five-star rating and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I (happily) landed in Michelle's chair for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, and I think I fell a little bit in love! She helped calm my pre-wedding nerves while making me feel more beautiful than I ever knew possible. And Michelle's magic is that she made me feel beautiful while still looking like MYSELF - not an easy feel. She made it look effortless. And special. And memorable. Run, don't walk, and book Michelle and the Ciao Bella team. Thank you, Michelle - you are a joy and a gift to Keys brides.

I used Michelle for my makeup and hair for my baby shower and she did an incredible job!! I got so many compliments on it and people asking who did it! The makeup looked natural but elevated and it stayed all day! My makeup never ran or got blotchy, and my hair stayed in place all day. Michelle is so sweet and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found Michelle for my beach wedding in the Florida Keys. From the moment I met her, I knew I had made the perfect choice. Michelle's talent is absolutely extraordinary, but what makes her truly special is how she instantly makes you feel like you've known her forever. Within minutes of sitting in her chair, we were chatting and laughing like old friends, which helped calm my wedding day nerves.

When I looked in the mirror after Michelle finished, I was absolutely speechless. She transformed me into the most beautiful version of myself – exactly what every bride dreams of. The way she enhanced my natural features while ensuring I still felt like "me" was pure magic. My makeup and hair stayed flawless throughout the entire day, even with the tropical beach breeze and humidity.

What sets Michelle apart isn't just her incredible skill – it's her warm, genuine personality and ability to make you feel completely at ease on such an important day. She wasn't just my makeup artist and hairstylist; she became part of my wedding day memories. I honestly wish I could get married all over again just to spend another morning getting ready with her!

If you're planning a wedding in the Florida Keys, look no further. Michelle is absolutely your girl. Not only will you look stunning in your photos, but you'll gain a friend in the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough – she made my special day even more magical than I could have imagined.

Five stars isn't enough to rate this level of talent, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Book Michelle immediately – you won't regret it!

Michelle and her team (Alda, Steph, and Nicole) are the truly the best in the Florida Keys! We had 10+ services for bride and bridal party hair and makeup this past month for my wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful and felt their absolute best!! I've now had numerous services from Michelle @ Ciao Bella for my engagement photos and trial and can't rave about her enough! Book them immediately for your wedding!!!

I had the most wonderful experience at Ciao Bella! It’s my wedding weekend and they accommodated my mom, sister, and mother in law to do our makeup and hair. They are nothing short of amazing! Michelle is amazing with makeup, so natural and beautiful! Esmeralda did incredible hair and makeup on my mom! Nicole did a beautiful updo on me! These women are nothing short of incredible!!🤍

Michelle did my hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only is she an absolute pro, but such a pleasant and lovely human who really helped dissolve the stress of the wedding day. I look forward to working again with her in the future whenever I can! The salon environment was lovely as well-we did trial and nails prior, and hair and makeup day of at our hotel. ♥️♥️

Michelle did the hair and makeup for myself and 3 bridesmaids in May 2022 in Islamorada. I cannot say enough about how great she was to work with. I looked and felt gorgeous, as a bride should on her wedding day!

Michelle was absolutely amazing!!! She did an amazing job making me feel confident and comfortable for my wedding ... hands down amazing I've had so many compliments ... I highly recommend ciao bella
