Fantastic Work

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I found Kate because our names were the same, and I could not have been happier that I used her for my wedding!! Her and Lauren were fantastic. They were accommodating with our weird schedules on the day of and Kate helped calm my nerves leading up to the wedding about everything hair and makeup related. The team is sweet and insanely good at what they do. My makeup and hair was flawless and the rest of the ladies looked perfect as well!

Sophia made my day STRESS FREE

I originally chose a different makeup artist for my big day. I messaged Sophia for pricing and the other vendor got back to me sooner and out of peer pressure I booked with them. WHAT. A. MISTAKE. I won't go into details but 4 months after booking with them I still didn't have a contract and a secure spot so I messaged Sophia back to see if she was still available. She had no hard feelings about before and she did have a spot open and even offered to do my makeup for me herself after the hassle I was going through with the other people. Sophia immediately got me a contract, and a spot secured. Any and all questions I had she immediately answered and was so warm and welcoming, it was like I was emailing a friend. We scheduled the bridal trial and I paid for my mom to have a trial done since she has never had her makeup professionally done and was SUPER nervous. Sophia came all the way out to my house, made both my mom and I feel so beautiful before she even put the makeup on. She is such a down to earth person and its impossible not to get along with her. My mom fell in love with her! She was SO nervous and Sophia made sure she took her time and talked with my mom. My mom never stopped talking and loved her makeup. I loved my makeup! I hate wearing makeup and I looked SO good, I didn't want to take it off!! Sophia was so gentle and kind and just friendly. When covid happened she was one of two vendors (out of what like 10?) that gave me a straight forward answer when I asked for my money back. She was up front, honest, and explained why some money wouldn't be given back etc etc. Then she even tried to ease MY stress (I mean MINE!? SHES THE ONE LOSING BUSINESS!!!) She emailed me all night, long paragraphs about how to go about other vendors and how to possibly do some things differently. Ultimately our venue would not budge and we had to go through with the wedding. Sophia was AMAZING and communicated with me until the day of. On the day of she immediately got to work, didn't take ONE break, not even a potty break. She made my mom and mother in law look so good and feel so comfortable in her chair. My mom never stops talking about how much she loves Sophia. Sophia fit in so well with our group and made us all feel so loved. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Just book with Sophia. She is worth it and MORE.

Fantastic Team!

Sophia was so easy to communicate with and very helpful in coordinating schedules as I reached out much later than I should have in the planning process. She was far more responsive than any other hair/makeup team I reached out to. I was so happy with the coordination of services and so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. My bridesmaids and I especially loved our makeup artist Tara as she was so easy to get along with and go great at guiding us as we had no idea what we wanted. The whole team was so kind and made me feel special and valued. Would highly recommend.

The best in the biz!

Sophia and her team did my hair and makeup for my wedding and from the moment I arrived at the prep party I knew it was a match. Unlike other vendors, Sophia was responsive and prepared when I arrived for my trial. She had the photos I sent her, so instead of wasting time asking and answering all the questions we had discussed via email (this happened with almost every other vendor) we actually got to talk and get to know one another. I took this aspect very seriously, as getting ready is such a fun aspect of the wedding day I wanted to make sure her and her team would be fun to be around and to say we had a blast is an understatement! Since my wedding, I have began my own business within the wedding industry and Sophia and I have stayed close through it all. Not only is she my biggest advocate, but she is such a role model in so many ways because of the service she provides. Sophia and the bridal beauty team are incredible!!

Always Impressed

I have worked with Sophia Bella (multiple members of the team) a couple times for different occasions and I continue to be amazed by their work. They are a well-oiled machine with stellar personalities. I would recommend SBB to anyone who will listen. They are the pinnacle of professional, high quality service.

Your wedding vision look will be brought to life!

I 100% recommend the bridal beauty team! Sofia made my wedding vision look come true and I felt beautiful! She made sure I liked every single thing about my hair and makeup even from the first trial! Her exact works “let’s play” she was so go with the flow the whole time! I last minute decided to change my look for the wedding day and she matched the exact look I was hoping for! I think a huge part of my wedding satisfaction was having vendors I can trust and feel comfortable with. They will meet that! My family loved working with Sofia! I was so calm that day because I knew I was in good hands!!! Thank you!

Wonderful work

Sophia came very early the day I got married. She was professional, kind and wonderful at her job. She is the only person I want doing my makeup for any special day!

Couldn't be happier!

I am SO glad I booked with Sophia Bella for my wedding. Sophia was so generous with her time, responding to emails quickly and thoroughly. I had hair and makeup done for myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. Natalie did our hair, and Ann did our makeup. Both were wonderful, super communicative, and very open to feedback.

My hair is fine textured, and never stays up, even in a ponytail. I wanted a simple up-do for my wedding, and Natalie delivered. My hair stayed put all night, looked just how I wanted it to, and did not hurt at all!

I don't wear much makeup day to day, and had never had it done professionally, so I wasn't sure what to expect at my trial. I ended up asking Ann for a couple of changes for the wedding day. She listened and offered suggestions based on what I said. I was very happy with the final look, and felt beautiful and still like I looked like myself! I had a very particular bridesmaid who was in 3 other weddings this year, and this was her favorite hair and makeup of all of them. I would recommend the team at Sophia Bella to anyone.

Hands-on, the BEST makeup team!

First off, HUGE kudos to Sophia Bella Bridal for providing such a seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable experience for not only myself, but for my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids prior to and on my wedding day!

Ann, you absolutely nailed everyone's (including myself) makeup! The girls kept raving all night about how natural their makeup looked and felt. My mom and mother-in-law were entirely comfortable with the airbrush and felt really glam all day! As for myself, I felt AWESOME. I looked and felt like myself but just more of a glammed-up version, which is exactly what I was looking for! It was such a great natural look but with a few bold touches. I LOVED every last detail.

As well as your assistant, Samah, she put the final touches on everything perfectly and was so entirely helpful throughout the morning. She even touched up some of my bridesmaids' nail polish for them!

I've been raving to everyone about Ann's level of skill, professionalism, and creative style! As well as, I've been recommending Sophia Bella Bridal because Sophia, you were great to work with!

Thank you, thank you for ALL of your help and creative talents! You made my wedding day entirely stress-free and I so appreciate that.

Very happy with them!

They both did such an amazing job with mine and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup! I was having trouble finding someone somewhat at the last minute, but they were able to help me out! Everyone is so happy with them!
