Elena V. Sent on 01/31/2023The most FAB Hair & Makeup Team
I was absolutely blown away by the Backstage H&M makeup team. I may have been one of the only brides to not have any inspiration for what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. They worked with me to narrow down my ideas days of and made me look like a super model, true artists. I've honestly never loved my look more, it was glam but natural - a perfect balance. Also my entire wedding party looked amazing, and everyone said it was the best hair and makeup experience they've ever had. Not to mention we had over 20 people getting services and our schedule was a mess, they were so patient and moved through everyone to keep us on time. Best of all, everyone on the team was so friendly and kind - making the wedding day getting ready moment a memorable experience. Thank you!!! -

Amazing dream team!
I cannot recommend them enough!! Alex and Adan were the dream team for hair and make up! Alex is so knowledgeable about make up- what products to use and what works best for different skin types, hair colors and eye colors. The airbrush makeup she used made my skin look flawless and it lasted all night in the heat without getting cakey. Adan was the hair wizard and was able to get my pin straight hair to hold a curl all night long! Everyone loved their hairstyles!! -

Made me feel beautiful
I highly recommend them for your hair and makeup needs! They have high quality makeup, and even used airbrushed makeup that I have never tried. My makeup was flawless for my wedding! I am so picky when it comes to my hair and they absolutely nailed it as well! On top of it all they were so fun and friendly to be around, we had a great time during my trial as well as my wedding day. They were always responsive during the booking phase and easy to get a hold of. Thank you guys so much for all you do and did for us! -

Dream team!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I spent probably 10 hours researching companies off of instagram tags and posts. Being a US bride without the ability to do a trial until the week of was a little nerve racking. I’m so happy I went with my gut and booked this team! Compared to other artists I have been involved with as a bridesmaid this is the most efficient and skilled team I or my friends have had the pleasure of working with! My hair and make up was flawless and lasted all night even through the post reception clubs. Besides the obvious talent the team brings good energy and vibes Alex was a dream to work with and met all of my requests including an extra stylists so we could complete all 8 looks in 4hours. You won’t regret booking this team! -

So amazing!! Everyones hair and makeup was perfect!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about that team and their work!!! The entire experience was wonderful and made my wedding morning so at ease and relaxing. My makeup was absolutely stunning and was so good it stayed on perfectly until the next morning. Hair was amazing as well, it was exactly what I wanted but even better! It also stayed perfect until I took it out. I also had 6 bridesmaids, two flower girls and two moms get their hair and makeup done and everyone was so happy! It was also all completed with just enough time to spare! -

You Will Love Backstage!
We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Backstage. Even during my trial, it was clear to see Alex and Adan are passionate about their craft and are true artists. They listened to what I wanted and helped create a look that beyond exceeded my expectations and lasted through wind, rain, and lots of dancing. They were also incredibly kind and professional. Alex provided suggestions for alternative trial locations to avoid high resort vendor fees, went out of her way to make sure I had transportation back to my resort after the trial, and made me feel so confident throughout the experience. We couldn’t recommend Backstage enough! -

Backstage hair and makeup went above and beyond for our wedding! They met us at our air bnb (which they let us know they’d need an access code to get into, something our host didn’t even tell us)! Accommodated what everyone wanted for their hair and makeup, and gave helpful suggestions for keeping it nice throughout the day.
Everyone who had their hair and makeup done absolutely LOVED the entire experience. The looks lasted all day in the Mexico heat.
Do not hesitate to book this wonderful team for your big day. -

Alex and her team are amazing! They met us at the resort where we were having our destination wedding and left me and my 7 bridemaids + mom + mother in law looking GLAM in a matter of a few hours. They use incredible product (including some magic sweatproof airbrush foundation that stayed on my face until 1am in Mexican heat) and can bring any look to life. I got SO many compliments through the night on both my hair and makeup. So glad that we trusted them to make us feel beautiful on our special day :) -

Flawless airbrush makeup
We got married in Mexico last weekend and these ladies did a fantastic job-my hair and makeup looked amazing all night and survived the heat and humidity. Alex did my makeup and 100% nailed it. The airbrush looked so flawless and my makeup did not budge through the sweat, tears and rain! She was a pleasure to work with and listened to what I wanted. Jenny did my hair and it was perfect on the day of. I did a trial the day before and it was so helpful for me. I would highly recommend Backstage H&M for your wedding day! -

So professional and amazing 🤩
I originally found backstage H&M from a review on a destination weddings Facebook group. The bride wrote awesome things about backstage H&M and the pictures of the hair and makeup looked great. I was nervous about having a destination wedding and getting my hair and makeup done at the resort, not knowing your artist until the week of. Feeling gorgeous on your wedding day was too priority to me. I can deal with other things going wrong, but how I feel and look on the day of was not something I was willing to gamble on. I’m so glad I chose Backstage H&M. They were very responsive and even were flexible when I was very wishy washy about whether I was going to have bridesmaids or not. I knew I wanted to book them right away, so I asked for pricing. I booked for bride +5 about 7 months prior to the wedding, still not sure if I was actually going to have bridesmaids and Alex was very understanding and willing to work with my indecisiveness. I did end up having my girls get ready with me and every one of them loved their hair and makeup. One girl was not fond of the hairstyle she chose and asked if she could get it re done, and the hair stylist completely re did it for her no problem which was super sweet. All of the makeup was PHENOMENAL. Alex knows what she’s doing. I’ve never felt more beautiful getting my makeup done. I’m usually nervous to get makeup done, I’ve never had that great of experiences. But Alex kills it. The airbrush is the way to go too. I looked at one of my bridesmaids at the end of the night and she looked the exact same as when she got out of the chair, hair and makeup on point. I was shocked. Also the team is very punctual, polite, and ready to make you fall in love with how you look. They make sure you are happy and willing to make changes upon request if needed. Although barely any changes needed to be made because they really are that good. I’m so happy I went with backstage H&M. Alex is so sweet she even sent me recommendations for restaurants in Tulum for my honeymoon week and she really just goes above and beyond. She feels like a friend now. -

I have had my makeup and hair professional done well over 30 times for various events. Backstage Hair and Makeup is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They made me feel absolutely stunning for my engagement photos, I am honestly disappointed I won't get to use them for my wedding since I decided to get married in Costa Rica. They are great and I would recommend them to anyone! -

Exceptional experience! Made me feel like the prettiest version of myself for my wedding events
Absolutely flawless, efficient, and beautiful work with my makeup artist, Alejandra and hair stylist, Esperanza. I had come to Tulum from the states, so obviously did not get the chance to do hair and makeup trials beforehand. I blindly booked with this company based on the reviews and only a few phone calls discussing my goals. That can obviously be scary! Alejandra recommended we do the trial a few days before my wedding (which would serve as my welcome dinner look as well). The results came out incredible. These women singlehandedly changed my entire bridal experience with their magic! I am South asian and was wary of the caked on, overdone look typical of so many brides in my culture. The looks that these women created were perfect - stunning, stand out, but not hiding my natural self. I am also typically someone who likes to consult the experts for their opinion on what will be most flattering, while still giving a little direction (my color preferences etc). Alejandra and Esperanza took that guidance and created two beautiful looks, with their understanding of personality, facial features, outfit, etc- it felt very authentic. I and a few other women in my party required supplemental hair (extensions etc) which Esperanza blended so naturally and seamlessly! To add, they were both so flexible throughout the wedding day as my family added various requests for hair and makeup spontaneously. They successfully accommodated each request while still staying on time. They ran so efficiently without compromising quality. My whole party was so happy. Each woman had a different aesthetic, skin tone, age, etc - yet they all looked stunning. To add, backstage traveled to my location in tulum which was SO incredible since I did not book a bridal suite. My party had a lot going on on wedding day (between various ceremonial events, bridal brunch, and taking care of kids). This convenience meant a lot to all of us because each woman was able to pop in for 30 mins to an hour And go back to other things.
Lastly it was just so fun working with Alejandra and Esperanza! It felt like quality girl time, chatting, listening to music, and hanging out, which cleared my mind and added some zen on wedding day. At the last minute my then fiancé misplaced our car keys and Alejandra kindly offered us a ride to my wedding venue! It was absolutely unexpected but saved our day. We were so grateful they treated us like dear friends throughout the whole process! Highly highly recommend. -

Stephanie W. Sent on 11/03/2022So happy I chose this team!
About 6 weeks before my wedding in Cancun I got cold feet of using the makeup and hair stylists offered at the hotel spa and reached out to Backstage. Lucky for me, Alex and Denizli were available. They found time to come do a trial run with me as well before the big day. I really wanted a "natural, but better" look and I was so happy with the makeup that Alex did. She also did our mother's makeup and they both looked so beautiful and not over done at all. They both really listened to what everyone wanted and delivered results we were all happy with. The airbrush makeup did not budge or smudge and my hair stayed curled in the Cancun humidity. After my trial I was able to tell them any adjustments I wanted to make and they were very accommodating. They arrived early both days and communicated very well. I would definitely recommend this team for your big day! -

Daryna K. Sent on 11/03/2022Top-notch hair & makeup service
I searched WeddingWire for hair & makeup services for my October 2022 Tulum wedding and Backstage appeared in my searches pretty quickly.
I'm so happy I found this awesome team!
Working with Alejandra and Deniz was truly the highlight of the wedding weekend for me.
We did trial hair & makeup (which I'm so so happy we did as that removed a lot of day-of stress), and I very quickly realized that not only they're both true professionals, but also just so fun and easy to talk to.
My wedding party truly enjoyed working with them as well, and I have the warmest memories from the morning when we were getting ready. Thank you so much for making us look and feel so good and for all the great vibes.
Hope we can work together again, I'm looking for an excuse to come back to Tulum and do a photoshoot or something :) -

Best experience!
We were so happy with Backstage Hair and Makeup . Alex and her team were so friendly and professional, used great products to have us look so natural throughout our 4 day Indian wedding in Cancun. Despite the heat, everything held up so well. They had us looking our best on time, every event. So happy we chose this company. Definitely would call on them again. -

I was originally going to use the resort spa for my hair and make up and last minute after hearing some horror stories I decided I needed to find a hair and make up vendor. I came to wedding wire and found backstage H&M and I’m so glad I did. Only I was getting my hair and make up done (no bridesmaids) so Alex had Emilia come to do my hair and make up so I didn’t have to pay a vendor fee for hair and another one for make up which was awesome. Amelia was super friendly and listened to exactly what I wanted! After my trial I had a couple of tweaks I wanted and she perfectly executed the change. Cancun is hot and humid and they do your hair and make up to make sure it stays looking nice. I’m still waiting for more photos but have provided some that show my hair and make up well. So happy with my experience and would highly recommend backstage H&M. -
