So Happy With the Results

Eric did a wonderful job! She listed to what I wanted -- natural glam makeup and a curated messy bun hair -- and delivered. She's also the most reasonable prices I could find and yet also has the most flexible offerings.

Beautiful and long lasting

Working with Erica was wonderful! I used GLAM for my June 2024 wedding and Erica was delightful! I don't wear a ton of makeup so the trial run was super helpful to talk about options for the wedding day and ensure an stress-free experience. Day of, Erica and her partner for the day were on time and stayed on schedule! Our hair and makeup looked beautiful and stayed great all day (even with some wind and lots of happy tears) and they were experienced with a variety of hair types and styles. Erica was a great presence too while getting ready and was easy to spend a couple of hours with me and all the bridesmaids.

Erica is the BEST

Erica did an AMAZING job with my wedding hair & makeup. She also did my mom, mother in law, and bridesmaid. Everyone had such a lovely experience with her and she was so quick and helpful the entire morning she was there. She truly has a talent and she will 100% be my first call whenever I need glam for an event again.
