Glam By Susie Rico is AMAZING!

I can't say enough good things about Susie and her entire team!! From the moment I reached out about hair and makeup services for my wedding day, Susie responded within a few hours with kindness and professionalism. We scheduled a trial and in addition to being super receptive to the hair and makeup look I wanted (and specific requests to use my own products), she was simply SO amazing to be around! She was courteous enough to schedule a second trial with me as well, as I wanted to play around with more hair options. When you work with Susie, you immediately see that she cares about her clients and wants you to feel beautiful! She is naturally talented and does a fantastic job already, but she truly listened to every single thing I wanted leading up to wedding day, often responding to my emails same day. When the big day came, I felt so calm knowing my look would be catered to my wishes - and I loved how everything turned out (especially my makeup)!! Her and her team also showed up early on wedding day and even though we ran on a tight schedule as the morning went on, Susie listened to any concerns for timing and made sure every single bridesmaid, my mom + myself were ready on time. We had a large group so I know that work isn't easy! She is a true gem and I highly recommend her for wedding day services or ANY other event you may need hair/makeup for. As a bride, you want to feel confident with the person doing your glam and from talking to other vendors, Susie was superior. :) Thank you Susie!!!

Friendly, reliable, responsive

Susie and her partner were amazing! They showed up promptly and had all my bridesmaids and myself ready before heading to the ceremony so I made it to my wedding 15 min early which was awesome! I love the way they did my hair, it stayed styled the whole day even after dancing and sweating all day. My makeup was flawless, she was able to find the perfect tone of foundation. My eye makeup looked amazing too, which is challenges for women with almond shaped eyes. Makeup stayed fresh throughout the ceremony and reception, despite tearful moments. Highly recommend for your wedding! Also, super friendly and easy to get a hold of!

Absolutely wonderful!

I’m a little late in posting this review, but I truly can’t find the words to thank Susie for her professionalism and hard work. I reached out to her about a month before my elopement, and from the very beginning she was so patient and kind—it honestly felt like I was talking to a close girlfriend. I sent her a few hair inspiration photos, and she absolutely nailed the look! I only wish I had taken a photo before putting on my veil. Overall, Susie was wonderful to work with: kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating with my day-of timeline.

Talented Artist, Beautiful Person

I cannot express my gratitude for Susie. What a beautiful soul to share my wedding morning with. She is proactive, organized, communicative, kind, skilled, thoughtful, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. I loved my makeup and hair, and loved the time I got to spend with her just as much. Wish I could do this on a weekly basis.

Amazing bridal hair and makeup!

Working with Susie was an absolute joy from beginning to end! When I first reached out to her via email, she responded quickly. She was very helpful and gave me a quote for her services. The quote was above what I budgeted for so I didn't reply. She ended up reaching out again to check in and I was honest with her about my budget. I was so surprised when she replied and said she was willing to adjust her quote to better work with my budget. I couldn't believe how nice that was of her to do for me and from that moment I knew I had to book her! I sent her the deposit immediately and booked my trial run. At the trial I had so much fun talking to her and getting to know her. She is so kind and genuine! My hair looked amazing - I was obsessed. The hollywood waves are to die for! The makeup also looked stunning and with some conversation we decided to adjust some things with the makeup for my wedding day (less filled in brows and lighter foundation). She made sure she knew all the adjustments I wanted to make for the actual wedding and was very open to any critiques/suggestions I had. When the wedding day came around she yet again delivered the most beautiful hair ever and made all the adjustments to the makeup we discussed. I was so so happy with the final results. I truly felt like a princess! My hair and makeup lasted all evening and I got so many compliments from my guests.

I can't express how much I enjoyed working with Susie and how pleased I was with her services. She is professional, amazing at what she does, extremely kind, and generous. Please book her for all your special event hair and makeup needs! You won't be disappointed!

Amazing bridal hair and makeup!

From the start, it was so easy and delightful working with Susie. She responded quickly to my initial email, was very informative and kind throughout our correspondence, and was always a joy to be around when I saw her in person. When I reached out to her initially I was given a quote and it was more than my budget allowed for. When I didn’t reply to her quote, she reached out again to check in and I told her honestly that her cost didn’t work with my budget. When she then emailed back and said she would alter her price to better work with my budget, I was in awe. I couldn’t believe how kind that was of her. I immediately sent her the deposit and scheduled our trial run after that. At the trial I had so much fun chatting with her! She’s such a lovely, genuine person! The hair was simply stunning- I was obsessed. The makeup was fabulous and after some discussion we decided to modify some things for the big day (less filled in eyebrows, lighter foundation). She made sure she knew everything I wanted to adjust before my wedding day. On the wedding day, my makeup matched exactly with the alterations we discussed previously. The foundation was perfect for me! Not too “cakey” but still good coverage. I loved how glowy I looked. I felt beautiful and my hair and makeup lasted the whole night.

I can’t recommend her enough! Please book her for all your special event hair and makeup needs, you won’t be disappointed!

Best choice!

Susie and team were so amazing. Very sweet! For my wedding they did 7 heads of hear in 4.5 hours and each hairstyle was beautifully done! They did each style exactly how I wish. Susie got along great with all the ladies and was so patient with my daughter. I would hire again for any event. I’m grateful I found her for my wedding. 10/10!!

Susie is the best!!

Susie worked on me for two wedding events. We eloped in Santa Barbara at the courthouse in January. Then we just had our celebration party in La Quinta in October. She traveled all that way for me!! She's punctual, the sweetest, listens to what you want, and is overall amazing!! I highly, highly recommend her!

Flawless Wedding Makeup and Hair!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Glam By Susie Rico for my wedding day! From start to finish, she exceeded all expectations and made me feel like the most beautiful bride.

First and foremost, her punctuality was impeccable. She arrived early and was ready to start right on time, which helped alleviate any pre-wedding jitters.

The quality of the products she used was top-notch. My makeup looked flawless and lasted throughout the entire day and night. Even through tears of joy and hours of dancing, my makeup stayed put without needing constant touch-ups.

Speaking of touch-ups, Glam By Susie Rico provided a thoughtful touch-up bag that included everything I needed to keep my makeup looking fresh. It was such a lifesaver to have on hand throughout the day.

Aside from her exceptional skills as a makeup artist and hairstylist, Susie is also one of the kindest and most professional individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. She took the time to listen to my preferences and ensured that I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.

Her sweet and caring demeanor truly made the experience even more enjoyable. I felt like I was getting ready with a friend rather than just a makeup artist.

I can't thank Glam By Susie Rico enough for her incredible work and for helping me look and feel my best on my wedding day. If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Susie Rico!
