The BEST decision

Hiring southern couture for hair and makeup on sight was the best decision we made! They were there right and early, they were relaxed but ran on schedule, and they fit right in with our crowd! No matter who was sitting in the chair- from my best friend to my mother in law (who never had her makeup done before), they struck up conversation and made them feel at ease. Every single person looked gorgeous and my hair and makeup lasted all night plus a top-down convertible ride! I felt my best and didn’t do any touch ups the whole evening, but still looked perfect in every photo. The morning-of, we had to squeeze in one more makeup appointment (miscommunication on the bridal party’s behalf) and Kim made it happen! She is a total boss!!!


We had Kim and Kendall for makeup and hair for our party of 6 plus the bride- highly recommend!

So Happy with my wedding day hair and makeup!!

I had the best time working with both Christina and Meghan! From the moment I met both of them at my hair and makeup trial I knew they were going to help make my wedding day less stressful for me. I don't wear makeup a lot and just throw my hair in a bun or ponytail, so it was important to me to find makeup artist that did a soft more natural glam. At my trial they made me feel so welcome. They both listened to what I wanted and asked questions to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. They were both so personable and I really enjoyed talking to them and watching them work their magic.
On my wedding day they showed up on time. They were both super sweet and friendly to my bridal party. Stayed on schedule. They did an AMAZING job! I am so happy I had them to help me feel relaxed and ready for my wedding day. Meghan, thank you for realizing I got nervous and talking to me. You are so sweet and loved listening to your all stories.

Professional, punctual and beautiful!

Southern Couture was very communicative throughout the process. Caitlyn and Kim were fantastic! They asked for input and were open to feedback to make everyone feel their best. It was the first time my 13 year old stepdaughter had hair and makeup done professionally and they were both patient as she struggled through feeling like herself, using her inspo pic and keeping it simple enough to be age appropriate. Everyone loved their final result. 10 ouf 10!!

Dream Wedding Hair!!!

We booked with SCSBB for our summer wedding at Wild Dunes and they were awesome. I booked from out of town as my husband and I were living/traveling to the wedding from Jersey and they were so flexible with coming to me on site for trial and day of hair and it was everything I could have ever wanted! I worked with RAEGAN and she was so chill, very experienced, and worked hard to make my thick mane look great. I was so happy with how my wedding hair turned out! Prior to booking I had sent in photos of my current and of my inspiration pics, and she made it all come into existence. RAEGAN👏🏼MADE 👏🏼IT 👏🏼HAPPEN!
