I felt like a queen and so did my bridal party!

I booked The Bridal Beauty Team for my wedding in Milwaukee. From the start they were great to work with. They were always quick to respond and adressed every concern I had. My mom can't use most make-up and we were concerned she'd have a reaction if she used their make-up but I was told they'd do her make-up with her own stuff since she has prescription skin care items.

We had Heather for hair (and my make-up) and Myriam for make-up. Everyone had a blast and everyone looked AMAZING! The hair and make-up lasted ALL NIGHT which I was super impressed with. Even at midnight our hair and make-up was looking fresh. If you need someone for hair / make-up for a wedding please do yourself a favor and book them NOW!

After going thru several vendors via The Knot, I picked Kate Johnson Artistry.

I'm like any other bride, I want my wedding day to be perfect, from the flowers to the venue; especially my make-up, I want to look & feel beautiful!

After talking with Kate and having her address some of my questions and concerns, I felt comfortable that she & her team were the right fit for me and a great value.

Kate assigned someone from her team to be my hair & make-up person. We met, had a trial session...I was so pleased, I loved it!

The day of my wedding: my make-up & hair...Fantastic! my two flower girl's hair was done with babysbreath in the braiding, and the perfect hint of shimmering blush and lip gloss...Awesome!

I had so many compliments! Thank You.

Never Looked Prettier

I used the Bridal Beauty team on two occasions - once for my 2020 Covid living room wedding and again in 2021 for our rescheduled actual wedding. Both occasions the experience and quality of work was incredible. In 2020 I had Sophia as an artist and really enjoyed our conversation and the final product of hair and makeup without even a trial - it was stunning! This year, we had Laura (my artist) and Lauren doing hair and makeup for 9 people. My ladies were in absolute AWE of their looks. Many of them have had or been in weddings and lamented that they didn’t live in Chicago or didn’t know about KJArtistry on their occasions. Everyone was amazed, overjoyed, and the prices are very reasonable for the great service. I hope I have other events where I can use them again - they made me look like an absolute goddess!

Kate is an AMAZING hair and makeup artist with a fantastic and professional team. She was very accommodating of my ever-changing needs and went out of her way to help me find unique updos and makeup looks for my wedding. I had a costume change after dinner and Kate was there to pin my hair up and redo my makeup to match. She was available the entire night to touch up myself and the rest of my wedding party and anticipated our needs without us even having to ask. She is creative and talented but also professional and punctual, a mix that is often hard to come by!

I have known Sophia for 6 years and she always looks fabulous. I got married May 21, 2016 and she did my makeup and it was amazing! I received so many compliments. Working with her is awesome. She takes her time to make sure that you look and feel your best. She is very versatile and has experience with different skin tones and types. You will not be disappointed working with her.

Where do I begin. Sophia was absolutely amazing, she made me feel like a vision of beauty on my wedding day. She had to take on my crazy family and bridesmaids and she did it with the utmost respect and patient a person could have. I was so worried about not feeling beautiful but she absolutely exceeded my expectations. Her products and brushes were the best quality and she was so professional. She actually listened to what we wanted and coached us on why and what she was doing. It was such an amazing experience to have someone so in tune with what your vision for your big day was. She was truly such a joy to have on such a stressful morning. I couldn't think of anyone else to have making me look beautiful on the biggest day of my life.

I cannot say enough good things about Kate and her team! They were awesome and very accommodating. She does not charge for the trial which is awesome and is willing to work 100% around your schedule. She would honestly go to you if you were unable to make it to her. Kate's personality makes it fun and comfortable. She gets to know you on a personal level and makes sure you are happy with how your hair is looking. I even asked to do a second trial and she was able to schedule me in on short notice to accommodate my schedule. Out of all the vendors I had to deal with Kate was the only one that replied almost immediately to all my emails and was very easy to get a hold of when I had a question.

The day of the wedding her and her team arrived exactly on time and got to work! They are very efficient and work very well together. I had 8 bridesmaids and my mom and not one of them had anything bad to say about their hair or makeup they all looked absolutely amazing! My makeup and hair exceeded my expectations and was better than I could ever imagine! It was all done at 11:30 in the morning and by 2 am after the reception it was still perfect. Not kidding even when i woke up the next day my eye makeup still looked pretty decent which is amazing. Kate is very talented along with her team!

I do modeling on the side and have thus been lucky to have the chance to work with a variety of talented artists. Kate has hands down been my favorite for both hair and make-up. She is a warm and positive person and a versatile, patient and talented artist. She has stood out for me because she truly understands how to compliment natural beauty rather than doing a one-look-fits-all approach. Though I knew she would do a great job, I was just blown away by her work on the big day. She somehow managed to make me look natural but also like an ethereal beauty with a lovely glow. Both the hair and make-up stayed all day and night even through large amounts of dancing. Her team also did a fantastic job with my bridal party. Everyone looked like themselves but enhanced, confident and just lovely. Kate's team was easy to plan with, extremely efficient and I was so happy to know that I was in such good hands. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sophia & Natalie are The Kindest, Most Genuine & Talented

As someone who is VERY picky about their hair and makeup, I am blown away by how Sophia Bella Bridal serviced my bridal party at my wedding in December 2018. From the moment I met them during my trial, I felt like I had known them forever. It truly feels like I gained 2 friends by working with them! In fact, I went to bed the night before the wedding so excited to hang out with them the next morning (and get married of course ha!).

Our hair and makeup stayed put all day & night, even with lots of crying, misty winter weather, and sweaty dancing. They were both so talented, detail oriented, and accommodating to all of our needs/preferences. I have thin hair due to medical problems, but Natalie made my hair look SO full. She also used my clip in extensions. My mom opted to rent clip-ins from Sophia for the day and loved them. They were clean, smooth, and great quality. After the wedding my mom mailed them back to Sophia.

Overall, I highly highly recommend booking Sophia Bella if you want a reliable & talented hair and makeup team that will make you feel like royalty.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've had the opportunity to work with Kate and her team on so many occasions I've lost track, but when it was time for me to get my hair and makeup done for an important video shoot was in front of the camera for, I wouldn't have called anyone else. She has an incredible ability to make you look like you, even when you have makeup on that you might think is too heavy or out of character for you. She knows how to make you look your best, but not go crazy overboard! Shes also super fun to work with so I'd highly recommend using her for whatever your specialty makeup and hair needs may be.
