Great experience

Melissia & Ashley were the MUA and hairstylist at my Sept 2026 wedding for 3 bm, 2 moms and 1 bride. Melissia was my poc and was good at answering whatever questions I had and following up when needed!

Melissia and Ashley both responded well to changes I wanted from my trial to wedding day. And we all loved how we looked! My MOH was raving about how well her hair held all night.

My mom also wanted to do a mu trial because she wasn't used to make up and it was great that she got the opportunity to do so!

The best vibe!

Meghan was fantastic. Every part of the process was easy, and as someone who wanted a more non-traditional look I felt very supported. Meghan was super responsive ahead of time, and a wonderful fun presence getting ready. It felt like she was part of my bridal crew, she helped me think through how I wanted to look, gave wonderful advice, and really listened. And I felt and looked great!!!

Don’t hesitate, just book (:

I count myself lucky that I came across Dorsey beauty and that they were the glam team for my wedding. They listen, they’re sweet, they’re flexible, and so talented!! (And crazy fast?? Like how did you do that) Also an added bonus is that they are great hype girls 🥹

If you’re hesitating, don’t. Just book them.

So glad we went with Dorsey beauty!

Melissia and Ashley did an incredible job with hair and makeup for my bridal party, mom, MIL and I. **Everyone** (10 people in total, spanning all ages!) was happy with their styling which I feel like rarely happens! Melissia and Ashley were also so patient and flexible with me as I changed the vision for my makeup and hair style about 5x before the wedding day. They are both incredibly talented, efficient, easy to work with, etc, and their pricing is transparent and very reasonable for this area. I would recommend them to any bride to be!

Great to work with!

Melissia was absolutely great to work with. She was professional but personable, and worked with me to figure out what I wanted for the wedding day. She was flexible with the timing/schedule of the day, and even with the makeup plan that I totally switched up on the day of the wedding (even after completing an entire makeup trial). She was timely, communicated well, and really worked with me to get the look I wanted. Coordinating with a hair stylist for the wedding day was easy through her as well!

Absolutely Incredible Hair & Makeup Team!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dorsey Beauty. From the very first trial to the final touch-ups on my wedding day, the team was an absolute dream to work with. Meghan listened to exactly what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and created a look that was even better than I imagined.
My makeup was flawless—natural, glowing, and lasted the entire day (through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between!). My hair was stunning and stayed perfectly in place without ever feeling stiff or heavy. I truly felt like the best version of myself.
Beyond the talent of the team, they brought such a calming, positive energy. They kept me relaxed, on schedule, and even helped with little moments that had nothing to do with hair or makeup. The whole Dorsey Beauty team was kind, professional, punctual, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect.
If you’re looking for a team who is not just incredibly skilled but also a joy to have by your side on one of the biggest days of your life, look no further. Hiring them was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!

Everything about working with Meghan was a dream experience.

Meghan did the make up for mine and my best friend’s wedding. So lucky I got to work with her twice. I've never felt prettier. Super prepared and professional and fun to be around. Couldn't recommendation more!

Meghan with Dorsey Beauty is AMAZING :)

Meghan was so great! She handled makeup for myself, my four bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law with plenty of time to spare before the ceremony began. She was professional, punctual, and had competitive pricing. I'm not someone super knowledgeable about makeup and she helped walk me through some choices, and even was able to match my favorite lipstick tone with her own supplies for the day-of. 100% would recommend her services.

Fantastic Experience!

Maghan (makeup) and Kristi (hair) arrived on time and were a perfect fit for our mix of ages ranging from grandchildren to grandparents. They were both: patient, kind, talented, professional and lots of fun!
Meghan arrived with what looked like a suitcase full of makeup and had something for everyone. She even has extra (new) lipstick that I was able to purchase for the wedding day.
Kristi was great with all different types of hair lengths and textures. I showed her a photograph of a hairstyle that I wanted and she was spot on.
I would highly recommend Dorsey Beauty for your wedding or any formal event!
