    Beautiful hair and makeup

    Rare Bird was amazing to work with. Natalie is super responsive and made it one of the easiest vendors to communicate with. We had hair with Rebecca and make up with Courtney. Both are so professional and amazing artists! The preview session was a great way to test out my look and we made a few changes for the wedding day that turned out amazing. I am so happy that I went with Rare bird!!

    The Best in the Business

    I don't think I can possibly say enough amazing things about working with Rare Bird Beauties! Jen and Ioana are the absolute dream team to glam you up for your wedding day! From the trial to my big day they were so accommodating and really listened to my thoughts and helped me bring my vision to life. They even did a hair trial for my mother so she could venture out of her comfort-zone for the wedding! I am not very good at doing my hair or makeup normally and I am not very creative, so having Ioana and Jen guide me and offer helpful suggestions while also listening to what I didn't like made me feel so great about my decision to work with them. On the big day, not only were they on time, they kept us ahead of schedule and everyone looked INCREDIBLE! We had 11 people that needed to be styled by 12pm and they worked their magic without batting an eye! The other two women that came to assist (Christy (MU) and Rita (Hair)) were also fantastic. Rita worked wonders on my thick haired bridesmaids and Christy's eyeshadow game was on fire! If you are looking for the best, look no further!
