10000/10 would recommend!!

HDG did my wedding hair and make up and I would 1000% recommend them to anyone! I chose HDG because I loved their work and that they were LGBTQ friendly. My now wife doesn't wear make up but wanted someone who could do touch ups in case of a break out. Thankfully HDG had a packages specifically for non-feminine brides! It was so great knowing HDG was My wedding was in Fayette, IA and they drove out for a 9a start time. I asked for soft glam make up (I wanted to look like I was barely wearing make up) and curls and they did not disappoint! They did hair/make up for 6 of us and stayed on time and were an overall joy to work with!

Melissa & Katelyn Made Me Feel Like a Bride!

I couldn’t have asked for a better glam team for my wedding day! Melissa did my hair and Katelyn did my makeup, and both turned out absolutely perfect. I felt so beautiful and confident thanks to them.

One tip I’d recommend is doing the hair and makeup trial, especially if (like me) you don’t usually wear more formal hair and makeup and aren’t sure what to ask for. It really helps you and the stylists figure out the look you’ll love for your big day.

Thank you to the Hello Darlin Glam team for making me feel amazing—I’m so grateful and would recommend them to any bride!

The perfect vendor!

Hello Darlin’ Glam was an amazing vendor for my wedding! From start to finish they were easy to work with. My bridal preview session was relaxing and enjoyable. On the wedding day, Victoria (hair) and Abby (makeup) truly crushed it. My entire bridal party and myself felt amazing!

Amazing and Easy!

So easy to work with and super flexible with my numbers, right up to the week before. They made each of us look and feel gorgeous and worked especially well with my shy little flower girl. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Wedding Day Dreams!

Hello Darlin' Glam is the best choice to bring your hair & makeup dreams to life! We had 16 people doing hair and makeup for our September wedding and we were having a hard time finding a vendor who could take our large group and was LGBTQ+ friendly. Luckily from the initial conversation with Samantha, our group size was not of concern and we saw other LGBTQ+ couples on the HDG website/social media. In addition, Samantha was excited, detailed, and listened to our needs. We were pleased to hear they had options for the team to come to our venue for getting ready and no hidden fees. The price transparency and options were so refreshing after reviewing so many vendors who charge for parking, mileage, travel with limited distance and upcharge for each additional artist. HDG has is packaged so you know the cost per person. It was easy planning with them; their response time was quick and they include out of office replies so you know if they won't be able to respond for a while due to the demand of business. We had a fun time at our hair/makeup trial and felt extremely comfortable expressing what we wanted, tweaks, etc. We never felt we would offend the artist and ultimately they wanted us to feel 100% on the big day. The wedding day getting ready was seamless. The timeline we prearranged with Jess (Beauty Coordinator) was so helpful so our bridesmaids knew what time each service was and when they needed to go to their artists' chair. Every single one of our bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup and many wished they could of had HDG for their wedding (truly, I am not just saying this!). Samantha did both our bridal makeup and Melissa and Stephanie did our bridal hair and we are still swooning over how we looked. When I tell you not a single hair was out of place and our makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night, that should help solidify HDG for your big day! We are so thankful!

Highly recommend Morgan and Arianna!

Morgan and Arianna were amazing on my wedding day! We had 8 people for hair and makeup and everyone looked so good!! Morgan did makeup and Arianna did hair. Both were so fun to work with. They were great with staying on time but not rushing and helped keep the morning so relaxed. I love that it was all through one company too to make things easier planning wise on me!

Excellent!!!

WOW! The four girls that came to Rollins Mansion to do our hair and make up were absolutely phenomenal. They made each and every one of us feel so pretty, especially me, the bride! I’ve never felt more beautiful. Their communication was great leading up to the wedding and they were right on time the day of! I’d recommend them to anybody!

Absolutely Amazing

I cannot say enough good things about the Hello Darlin' Glam team! From start to finish they were such a joy to work with and in no way shape or form did they add any additional stress to an already stressful event! They communicated beautifully, they were on-time, they listened extremely well to what I did and did not want for my hair and makeup, their platforms are super easy to navigate, and more importantly did an AMAZING job on my big day! They literally executed my hair and makeup perfectly and I cannot thank them enough. You will not be disappointed with Hello Darlin' Glam!

They are the best!

The Hello Darlin' Glam team is an incredible choice for your wedding hair and makeup! I did so much research and finally decided on this company as their work is flawless. They were recommended by one of my best friends, whose wedding actually came first and I had never had so many compliments on my makeup as a bridesmaid. When it came to my wedding, they made me feel absolutely beautiful and were such a blast to work with.
