Best makeup team to work with!

Patrice and her team are so talented. Patrice did my bridal makeup and Madison & Frankie did all my girls and they all looked fabulous (and our makeup somehow looked exactly the same at the very end of the night!). The minute I spoke with Patrice, I knew this was the right company for me. Her work speaks for itself, but minute I actually spoke with Patrice, I knew this was the right company for me. She is seriously so much fun, she was 100% my hype woman the whole morning. The energy she brings is impeccable. It is impossible to have stressful thoughts when this team is in the room.
What I really loved is just how attentive and organized she is. This is someone who really cares about every person she works with. She encourages full honesty in the trial process and made great suggestions to enhance my skincare routine to ensure the makeup held up to its fullest potential on the wedding day.
Patrice, Madison, & Frankie - thank you guys for the best makeup experience I could have asked for!

Wedding Hair/Make up

Patrice and her team are excellent. The whole hair/make up/spray tan process was made so easy. They are responsive and fun. I am typically a low maintenance person and they did a great job of helping me figure out what I want and feel great on my wedding day. We also had a range of hair textures/styles for the bridal party and they did such a great job. Would definitely recommend to any Philly brides!

"Incredible Experience with MU8: Thank You, Patrice & Maddison!"

I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done by Patrice and Maddison, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. From the trial to the big day, everything was seamless, thanks to the fantastic team at MU8. Their communication was excellent, and they made the entire process so easy and stress-free.
Both Patrice and Maddison took the time to understand my vision and helped me achieve my dream look. Maddison did an absolutely immaculate job with my makeup—it was flawless and lasted all day, from the ceremony all the way through the reception. Patrice gave me the most stunning, voluminous glam waves that were just perfect for my wedding day.
What truly stood out was the positive energy and love that both Patrice and Maddison brought to the start of my big day. It made everything even more special. I’m so grateful to them for helping me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day!
Thank you again for making me feel so beautiful, inside and out! I highly recommend MU8 to anyone looking for an amazing, talented team!

Amazing experience w/ Patrice!

Patrice was incredible to work with! Two things stood out the most: first, she was such a wonderful presence the morning of my wedding. We wanted to be calm and joyful with a small group, and she helped cultivate that vibe. Second, it was so easy to communicate the few changes I wanted to make after the trial. The final look was so perfect, I've never felt more beautiful. Also she swore my oil was going to be controlled and she DELIVERED. My face was matte without looking dry and perfect all night. Would recommend to everyone!

The best wedding hair and makeup artists in the game!

Finding the perfect hair and makeup artists for your wedding is such a stressful process because every bride wants their look to be perfect. I am beyond thankful that I had the MU8 team to deliver the most gorgeous looks for me and my girls on my wedding day! I knew from the first call I had with Patrice that her team would be experienced professionals and they would bring the fun and relaxing vibe that all brides deserve on their wedding day. To say that my hair was a dream would be an understatement! Sammi absolutely killed it and my gorgeous glam waves lasted all night. Brielle was our makeup artist and if I could have her do my makeup for every event or wedding I go to from here on out, I would. My makeup was flawless and didn’t budge through my tears or standing in the hot sun during my ceremony. Patrice and her team were also very flexible when I had a few last minute add-ons (hair and makeup for my MIL) the night before the wedding. If you’re a bride in the Philly area, you will not find a better team to make you look and feel your best on your wedding day!

Outstanding!

I wholeheartedly recommend MU8 for hair and makeup for your wedding!! I also did the facial package leading up to my big day and my skin has never looked so flawless. Patrice is such an awesome person, she makes you feel right at home right off the bat and will be your biggest cheerleader!! Women uplifting women!! My girls and I looked so breathtaking on my husband and my wedding day. On the day of, I initially did not feel that my makeup compared to my trial and my makeup artist Madison made sure she fixed it and I felt my most beautiful! I could not have asked for a better team (Madison for makeup and Bridget for hair) and you could not ask for a better group of women to take care of you on your big day!

My only advice would be to possibly ask them for a larger amount of lipstick for the makeup rescue kit because the amount you receive is very small to cover the whole lip more than once so I rationed it out and ended up without lip color in most of my photos. Still looked beautiful though! I honestly would have bought the lip color from them if they had had it available!! I may just have to reach out and ask them so I can buy it myself! Most of these photos are from my trial day because I don't have most of my wedding photos back yet.

I cannot recommend mu8 bridal beauty enough!

Patrice and her team of bridal beauty experts are not only amazing at their work but also so fun and provide THE best vibe on your trial and wedding day. It makes such a difference to have a team that is so positive, uplifting, and makes you laugh through the nerves on the big day. I am obsessed with my makeup (by Patrice) and hair (by Yuliia) and all my bridesmaids loved their looks as well! They were able to cater to a range of natural to soft glam makeup for my bridesmaids with ease and nailed all the hairstyles that my girls wanted. Now that we are post-wedding I am sad because I loved hanging out with Patrice and her team so much! Thank you MU8 team for my gorgeous glam on the best day of my life!!

The BEST hair and makeup team

Cannot say enough good things about MU8! We are two brides and felt overwhelmed with how many people in the wedding party were going to need their hair and makeup done. During the consultation call with Patrice she immediately calmed my anxieties and assured me we wouldn’t have to start at 5am. It felt like we clicked right away and we booked with Patrice immediately after talking to her. She was professional but also really genuine and upbeat. At our trial we both had our makeup done by Frankie and I had my hair done by Patrice. We honestly had so much fun and it felt like we were just hanging out. We both felt so pretty when we left. On the wedding day we worked with Patrice, Frankie, Sarah, Yuliia, and Colleen. Everyone was so fun to be around, all the girls loved their hair and makeup, and everyone still looked flawless at the end of the night. I did tell Patrice that it seemed too good to be true that they have so many 5 star ratings, but now that we have worked with them I get it. Seriously can’t recommend Patrice and her team enough. If you are considering MU8 do yourself a favor and work with them!

A vendor hit!!

MU8 not only met my expectations, they far surpassed and exceeded them! Yes, the hair and makeup on myself and my bridesmaids, my mom, and mom in law was incredible, but I think what makes Madison, Yuliia, and Patrice extra special is how they carry themselves and set the tone for the day. They all arrived early, set up and finished ahead of schedule. Their demeanors eased us all into the day and started the day off on the right foot. They made us all feel calm and relaxed at the start of the day and had us laughing the whole time! This enabled me to carry that calm and lightheartedness throughout the day, by making the first part of it go flawlessly. I have never felt more beautiful and judging by my friends’ reactions, I could say the same for them. I also appreciate that the team was able to work on diverse hair textures and skin textures and colors. Everyone looked amazing! Finally, I appreciate that any feedback I gave after the trial and adjustments my bridesmaids wanted to make were quickly acknowledged and adjusted so that everyone could feel their best and like themselves. Thank you for an incredible day!
