Beautiful Hair and Makeup

Candice was an absolute dream! From the trial to the actual wedding day she brought exactly what I was looking for to life. She was amazing and took pictures at the trial so we could improve and perfect the look for the wedding day. On top of getting my hair and makeup done in about an hour, she also did 4 other girls makeup and 10 other hairdos with just the help of one other person. I absolutely loved the end product for the wedding day and I can't recommend Candice and the Glam Nola team enough!

Recommend!

We were so happy to work with Glam NOLA to provide hair and makeup services for our wedding! Incredibly professional, easy to work with, and no frills. Everyone in the wedding party kept commenting how easy the entire process was, which is a credit to Glam NOLA and their work ethic. We ended ahead of schedule, even with some last-minute shuffling, and our ladies looked *stunning* - we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Truly they made our day!!

amazing H&MUAs !!

We were recommended to GLAM Nola after having a bad experience elsewhere and what a great recommendation that was. I’m so happy we went with them for my bridal makeup, by bridesmaids’ makeup, and the mothers’ makeup. All together they did 14 services in ~4.5 hours. And they did it amazingly. I had the MOST GORGEOUS bridal party!! Amanda & Erica were quick, professional, and exceptional artists! We had Amanda on hair and Erica on makeup. They took charge and got us done and on time! I had my trial with Amanda so she did both my hair and makeup and she’s amazing! So professional and so easy to talk to! And Candice and Ashley are so responsive with our emails/texts. Highly recommend these ladies! Check out their instagram to see the magic that they make, and make your booking ASAP, you’ll be so glad you did!

Quick, Professional, and TALENTED

This team is AWESOME! The pricing is some of the best that you'll find and all of my bridesmaids, MIL, and MOB looked incredible! Not only that but they were so efficient - like incredibly fast for how stunning everyone looked. My bridesmaids ranged from Sephora addicts to very minimalist and this team nailed every look. Thank you so much!

Wonderful job!

These ladies did a wonderful job on both hair and makeup!! The makeup added the “glam” that I wanted without being too dark or caked on, and it stayed on all day despite my very oily skin. The hair was exactly what I wanted and it held in place all day. They were responsive, prompt, flexible, and worked very efficiently on the day of the wedding. Highly recommend!!

Talk about a dream team! Erica and Tasha were amazing. They encouraged me during my trial and on my wedding day, to be very vocal about what I wanted. They reassured me repeatedly that they just wanted me to be happy and they wouldn't be offended if I wanted something changed or done differently. Some of you may be thinking- well no duh- but for me it was important to hear that because I'm generally a very quiet person. They made me feel comfortable, and I think that's really important. They followed that up with doing MAGIC to my hair and face, and made changes quickly and easily if I asked for them. They arrived on time on the day of the wedding and got 5 people’s hair and makeup done well ahead of schedule. Everyone looked stunning, and the prices are hard to beat. Oh and when I forgot to ask ahead of time for a tube of the lipstick they'd used at my trial, it turned out they were sold out of it, so they offered to bring me a little sample jar of the color so that I could have it on my wedding day- talk about going above and beyond! They were super fun and really helped make my wedding day stress free and amazing.

Glam Nola was extremely organized, helpful, and reasonably priced compared to the other vendors I called for on-site hair. They were also friendly, whereas other places I called were downright rude. The hairstylist I worked with was Voola, and she is amazing! She did such a great job on everyone's hair and was really fun to have around on my wedding day! She was able to accommodate a bunch of different hair types (thin/fine, really thick, gray...) and styles (side bun, braided updo, styled down...). My mom is really sensitive about her hair (she cried and took the style out after getting it done at my sister's wedding) and was so nervous, but Voola worked wonders to make her feel comfortable and look great. Also, I have very fine hair that NEVER holds a curl, and Voola did a romantic-style side bun updo (that looked better than the picture I showed her) and left a few curled tendrils out in front that lasted ALL NIGHT. It was really hot and humid out and I was giving sweaty hugs all night and the curl looked just as good at 2am as it did at 2pm the day before. I highly recommend working with her and Glam Nola.

We hired Glam Nola to do hair and makeup for 6. They arrived right on time (even a little early), set up quickly and had everyone ready to go before the scheduled time. It was a super relaxing and fun wedding prep experience. Everyone looked fantastic!

Glam NOLA was very timely in all email correspondence, and very flexible when I changed the location/number of services after the initial contract was written. They were on time the day of my wedding, and in fact finished their services ahead of schedule. They took the time to make sure each person loved their hair and makeup. Everyone's hair/makeup continued looking great all night, despite the New Orleans heat and all of the dancing. I can't recommend this vendor enough!
