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!

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!

It all began in 2008, living in Las Vegas, I applied as a Cosmetologist at a local salon who also provided on location hair and makeup for weddings and events. It was there that I discovered my passion for the art. I was obsessed with the feeling I got after glamming up a client, knowing I was a part of one of the biggest days of their live. Over the course of 12 years, a relocation to Iowa, and over 1,000+ real life wedding experiences, I feel I have truly perfected my craft.
