    Beautiful Makeup

    Tia did a fantastic job with my make up. She made me feel confident with my look before I got my photos done. She was patient and made me feel at ease during the whole process. Would definitely recommend.

    Incredible talent, even better person!

    I cannot recommend her enough! From the very first interaction, she made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and completely at ease. She has such a kind heart and genuine personality that you instantly know you’re in great hands.

    Her talent is incredible—not only with hair and makeup, but in her creativity as a whole. She has an amazing eye for detail, listens to your vision, and somehow brings it to life even better than you imagined. She truly has a gift for helping people feel beautiful while still looking like themselves.

    Beyond her talent, what makes her so special is who she is. She’s warm, nonjudgmental, encouraging, and genuinely cares about every person she works with. Having someone with that calming, positive energy by your side on your wedding day is something every bride deserves.

    If you’re looking for someone who is exceptionally talented and an even more wonderful person, look no further. She is the kind of vendor who becomes one of the highlights of your wedding day, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! ❤️

    Hi Katie! We’re so thrilled with this review, but can you let me know who the artist was that did your services? I want to make sure that they’re credited and entered for a bonus based on your interaction with them

    Fantastic services

    I wanted to share, I’m a Life Enrichment Coordinator at an assisted living facility in Mukwonago, and I had the privilege of meeting Tia Hoffman as she volunteered for our Mother’s Day Celebration. Tia did such a wonderful job working with our ladies and did a phenomenal job on making our ladies feel beautiful and special. Definitely would recommend her services and support again!

    Happy with our Service!

    We had a great experience working with Tia & Kristen! We had some really nervous members of the bridal party/family who were not confident about getting hair and makeup done - but they took good care of us! Everyone's makeup looked GORGEOUS with the tones of the dresses. All of the hair and makeup lasted from 8am ish to midnight- no problem & we danced HARD!

    Wonderful experience with Tia

    Tia was very responsive and flexible and coordinating for my wedding. She was able to provide three totally different but equally stunning hair and makeup looks for my wedding weekend and truly transformed me. She has a keen eye for details and is precise in everything that she does. I very strongly recommend this company to anyone! Also would like to note that I am South Asian and she had a great selection of products for my skin tone.

    Would 100% recommend

    Tia has a whole team of traveling hair and makeup artists and she pairs each wedding with artists who will fit the bill.. she absolutely nailed it on ours! My makeup and hair artist was Kristin and she did all my bridesmaid’s hair as well. Megan did all the bridesmaids makeup and both of them were so talented and efficient! Cannot recommend them more!

    Beautiful looks

    Fantastic service by Tia’s team, Ceci and Megan G! My initial hair and makeup trial went well & gave me peace of mind going into my wedding day. Both artists were prompt at arriving and completed their services in a timely fashion. My bridal party, mothers, and I were all pleased with how our hair and makeup looked!

    Would hire them over and over again!! ❤️

    Tia and Kristin did my hair and makeup for my friend’s wedding last year and they did an amazing job. After that I knew I had to have them for my wedding. Tia did my hair and makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago and It was everything I had hoped for. She is so talented with everything she does and I got tons of compliments. Communication is also phenomenal! Would recommend to anyone

    Wonderful!!!

    What a wonderful experience! I was a guest at a friends wedding and hired this team to style me and my two friends, so we could feel glamorous for the our friend April’s big day. They came to my home, and did all of our Hair & Makeup. Not only did it last all night, but we got so many compliments. We were very proud to tell them that Candice and Meghan from Beauty Unveiled by Tia made us beautiful for the day!

    Such a genuine team

    I used Tia’s team for my wedding 11/11 and when I say I was brought to tears by the look Tia was able to achieve on me. Wedding planning has not come easy as we had expected due to some personal issues so that stress alone just had my skin paying the price. She recommended the skincare upgrade that they offer and I was shocked at how well it did of just taking down my redness and making my skin feel so smooth. Just those little things made me feel so much better about my skin. I had 6 girls in the party and her team did THAT! I can’t remember the woman’s name but everyone was so happy with their looks and how she was able to deliver even though everyone did want quite a different look. The longevity, quality and timeliness really took the cake, I couldn’t be happier with my experience with these wonderful ladies and I will be recommending to all my soon to be friends! Thank you Tia ❤️

    Book Tia Now!

    I should have written this review months ago, but I got busy and I'm embarrassed to say I forgot. But I cannot say enough amazing things about Tia. The communication was amazing. She sent me multiple emails throughout the planning process so I never had to worry about random fees or if I was forgotten (which happened to me with other vendors). I felt prioritized even though I know she has multiple weddings on Saturdays -- in fact it made me feel better knowing that she was organized and that if I had any emergencies, she would be able to handle them.

    Tia herself is AMAZING! She is funny, creates the most beautiful styles and she worked with me to create the perfect hair and makeup combination for my wedding. We did change my hairstyle from the trial and I loved what we created. She is so talented and every single person in my bridal party loved that she was with us on our getting ready morning.

    Thank you Tia and team for making my wedding day perfect.

    Wonderful experience

    I had my original makeup artist cancel on me so I was very hesitant when booking another, that and I could no longer afford a trial! I put all my trust in this company and so glad I did, my makeup was flawless on my big day. Brittany was my makeup artist and was incredibly responsive, calling me when she arrived to my location early and every email I sent prior. Highly recommend!

    Great experience

    I can’t believe the amazing experience I had with Tia and her team. Bridal hair and makeup is definitely an expensive investment, but honestly, the photos are all you have left after your wedding is over. I look at my photos hanging in my living room, and I am so grateful that I truly love how I look! My hair and makeup were perfect! Tia had Megan, Ceci, and is Zaliyah style my ladies, and we were all blown away! I definitely recommend booking with this team. We did have a few challenges with being able to get into our venue early enough, but Tia suggested to get an Airbnb, and I’m so grateful we did. My girls and I had a fun slumber party the night before, and we were there and ready to rock for hair and makeup the next morning. She seriously gives great advice! Oh! And buy the hair extensions and hair pieces from her!!! So worth it and much less expensive than anywhere else!

    I wish I could get married 1000X and use Beauty Unveiled for every wedding

    WOW -- JUST WOW. I went into my wedding knowing that my inspo photos were just that -- inspiration but that my look wouldn't be identical to the one that I showed my artist. But I was so so wrong! My photo was EXACTLY a match. My hair is naturally thin and doesn't grow very long. I was really worried that it would look sparse -- but I WAS SO WRONG! Tia worked wonders with my hair. I cried when I saw it and I was worried that I messed up my makeup but the tears literally rolled down my face on top of the makeup which didn't even budge when I wiped them away. Not only this but I swear my hair was finished in 20 minutes and she wasnt even rushing.

    I opted for airbrushing and I am SO GLAD I DID. Kristin -- my Makeup artist gave me an exfoliating spray to use before I began and it made my skin so soft. The airbrush glided on so smoothly that my face looked like a filter. It didn't feel like I was wearing anything and literally lasted all night. I have never felt so beautiful.

    I would book this team 1000x over.

    Always a bridesmaid never a bride -- by far the best experience ive ever had

    I have been in multiple weddings -- a classic "always a bridesmaid" situation. Honestly, I've never loved hair or makeup. I'm very particular about how my skin looks and I always feel like my hair looks like a teased ratty mess or the curls fall out as soon as the artist leaves. My photo never actually resembles the inspo photo. It's just comical at this point. Between 2023-2024 Ive been in 9 weddings. Considering average hair and makeup services are about $200 I could've taken a vacay for what I've spent being a bridesmaid just on the beauty services.

    Going into my friends wedding last weekend, I thought "here we go again...." but I was floored. Seriously OMG. I cant remember the names of the artists that worked on me (sorry there was a lot going on) but I have never felt so beautiful. I didn't even want to wash off my makeup and I 100% slept in my hair. When I woke up the next morning it was STILL curled as beautifully as when she finished the day before (AND THE PINS STAYED). When I was talking to the artist (very personable btw), she explained that this team focuses a lot on education for bridal hair and makeup and OMG it shows. Every single bridal party member looked so stunning. And not that we're ugly girls to start with, but all of our natural beauty was just like magnified....

    I mean I'm seriously considering booking this team the next time Im in a wedding solely for myself. Thank you for putting emphasis on training artists to ACTUALLY give us paying clients something we a feel confident in. This was the best experience I've ever had.

    The Perfect Look!

    Thank you so much for helping me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day! I was paired with Megan and she was great to work with. Megan was super sweet and helped explain different things to me that would work best for my features. She helped calm all my day of nerves and made me feel so beautiful and confident.

    Run to Tia and her team!!!!! 1000% recommend!

    Tia and her team are *chefs kiss*. Tia literally pulled off a miracle on my mom who had brain surgery 6 months prior to my wedding. Check out her Instagram for the transformation. I felt like a princess. I went with something completely different than what I did for my trial and it was BEAUTIFUL! I can’t recommend Tia and her team enough!

    Amazing and Talented

    Tia is amazing! She did my hair for my wedding day, along with the rest of my bridal party. She is so talented and sweet. I was a little nervous as I didn’t have time for a trial run but wow! Tia looked at a picture of what I wanted and matched exactly that! She is very skilled at what she does, we all loved our hair. She is also very timely and was able to do everyone’s hair with plenty of time to spare before the ceremony started. Definitely would recommend Tia for your wedding day hair!

    Amazing Stylist!

    Tia is the most amazing hairstylist I e ever been to! She and one of her assistants took care of 10 people plus an additional kiddo who wanted “hair to match coco!”

    Tia is super efficient and just amazing at what she does! I could easily tell that hair styling is a passion and she cares deeply for her clients!

    She easily fashioned my extremely long and think hair into an AMAZING up do! Not only did it look amazing, but my hair lasted until the end of my day where I had to pull everything out!

    To reiterate, I wore my trial style to work under my scrub cap (I am an OR Nurse) and it lasted my entire 8 hour shift! The day of my wedding, I could have easily worn my hair the same way for the next day with lout anything out of place!

    Recommend!

    Tia is an extremely thoughtful and professional hairstylist. I was lucky enough to have an updo by her for one of my best friends weddings this past weekend and it has been my favorite wedding style of multiple weddings I’ve stood up in. The style stayed all night and I got so many compliments!! Would recommend using Tia if you ever have a wedding in the area.

    Outstanding!

    Josh and Megan did my bridal party's wedding hair and makeup. They were both outstanding and the nicest people! They showed up early, were so kind, and got along very well with my family. We had a very fun afternoon together. My bridal party and I loved our looks afterwards. My husband had light makeup applied and wouldn't stop talking about how relaxing the process was! He looked great as well! Thank you Tia for putting together such a fantastic team for us

    Wonderful to work with!

    Choosing Beauty Unveiled by Tia for my wedding hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made! They made working together so simple and seamless and Tia responded quickly to all of my questions via email. On the actual day, they were so efficient and kept us ahead of schedule. Everybody’s hair and makeup turned out stunning! And I felt so beautiful thanks to Tia (hair) and Kristin (makeup). My look stayed in place all night, with only very minor touch- ups required! I would highly recommend Beauty Unveiled to other brides in the Milwaukee area! They are true professionals and so amazing to work with!

    Talented Make-Up Artist Worth the Trip!

    Recently doing a maternity boudoir shoot, I knew I wanted to get my make-up done because, let's face it, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to make-up. Tia listened to what I envisioned and really made me feel and look just stunning. She took her time, gave great conversation during application and made the whole process a really positive one. I drove an hour just to see her and would definitely do it again for any event I'd need in the future that would need her skills and talent. Thank you Tia for the perfect experience and make me feel special during a time when growing a baby tends to make us feel unattractive, exhausted, and not very confident.

    Look no further!!

    Tia was incredible! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had with a beauty stylist! (I am a florist) She was so kind and worked really hard to make my bride look beautiful! She also did a needed retouch, that she suggested no one had even requested one. She is someone who truly has a talent and cares so deeply.
    The industry needs more like her!

    These girls! Let me just tell you! Best communication I have received from ALL of my vendors. I can not say enough about this team. Talent, fun, fast, creative. I seriously am so glad my maid of honor found Tia and her team. Don’t hesitate… book them before you miss out! THANK YOU Tia, Kristin, and Britany! I’ll definitely send all my friends to you!

    So grateful!

    My hair and makeup artist canceled the day of my wedding. I posted a post on Facebook and Tia reached out right away. She sent two artists to my hotel room within the hour and everyone was done on time. I cannot believe how grateful I am that she saved my wedding day. I wish I would’ve booked her from the beginning. We all looked absolutely amazing and I have never felt more beautiful.

    Excellence

    This team is fantastic. We had a short timeline and Tia brought 5 artists to style us. It was absolutely perfect.

    Love my curls!!

    I contacted Tia a few days before a fundraiser event to see if she could put some curls on my hair because the last time she did this for senior pictures they lasted for days and looked great. She came in early on Sat for me and the curls look great. Even popped on some eyelashes for me as well.

    I had never had airbrush make up before, but I absolutely loved it! My make up was literally perfection. My bridal party and mom we’re so pleased with their make up as well. It was a perfect day.

    So thankful for Tia and Katie. They traveled two hours to style my bridal party on my wedding day. We got so many compliments and joked around that we felt like we should be in Hollywood. They were so much fun and made the getting ready process a breeze. Thank you so much for all you did for us ladies.

    Wow! Just Wow!

    I was so excited to find out that this company was available on my wedding date! I did a lot of research and Tia was by far the most efficient in her replies, the most informative with her information, and the most accommodating to our large bridal party. We had a team of four artists that did hair and make up, and my day was truly a dream come true and I give this team a lot of credit for that.

    Tia and her team helped me through all of my stresses. I was a little over the top with my requests for my trial and they absolutely nailed it. Two companies and two trials that had failed, but Tia and her team got it right! They truly take your vision and bring it to reality. Their pricing is incredibly reasonable too.

    So creative and independent

    Tia is a superstar! She did hair for 8 people and makeup for 2 the morning of the wedding, finished right on time, and nobody felt rushed. Half of the people just sat down and said "I have no idea" and Tia just ran with it. Everybody looked gorgeous and somehow very 'them,' even with no direction. She was really friendly and skillful. The hair and makeup trial went very smoothly (I was so sad I had it in the evening and had to take it off so soon!), and her daughter did a great job occupying my wife while she waited for me.

    Wish I could give separate reviews for company and artists!

    There was poor communication about important information (a stylist that I did not know showed up before my known stylist, and everyone was confused and panicked), but constant communication threatening extra charges (including ones that were not in my contract). It made for a stressful situation for me. I don't even have a problem with their requests, but it was the bombardment of threats that made me so anxious. The artists themselves did not seem to care much about these requests (although we did comply). They were kind, fun, and flexible!

    That being said, the hair and makeup artists (DarylAnne, Candice, and Emily) that we had were PHENOMENAL. Everyone looked completely gorgeous. Plus, they were done way ahead of schedule!

    Mixed Experience

    My experience with this company left me with mixed feelings. They did provide a satisfactory service in terms of the actual hair/makeup for my wedding party for the most part, but I couldn't help but feel frustrated by some hidden fees + some of the communication.

    On the positive side, the stylists were very talented, especially when it came to hair. For the make up, some of the shades seemed off— one of my girls was given purple eye shadow (which looked great on her), but the other 9 out of 10 girls had neutral colored eye make up, so I am not sure why that happened (my bridesmaid didn’t request it either). Additionally, two of the girls had lip color that they changed when they were finished because it matched their skin tone a little too much.

    However, where my experience was more mixed was in terms of professionalism with pricing & customer service. There ended up being hidden costs that I did not find stated in the original contract.

    Example 1:
    Email I received two weeks before— “Each artist requires 4 feet of set up space, a bar height chair for makeup services, a standard chair for hair services.  Makeup setup should be near NATURAL light -- facing a window or patio doors.  Fees apply $25 per item per artist if we have to provide our own lighting, chairs, or table set up and will be collected before artists begins services." 

    This is what is stated in the contract:
    “Service Location and Requirements:  Location of service for the day- of-event will be at the discretion of the client, but there are certain requirements our team needs to complete the services. Working electrical outlets must be made available for use. A table/work area, chair as well as ample lighting, whether by means of natural or by lamps is necessary for services to be performed properly.”

    We didn’t have barstools & the lightening wasn’t the best in our venue, so this would have been an extra $150. Tia never responded to this email, so we ended up finding bar stools on fb marketplace and rearranging where the HMU tables were at the venue to accommodate.

    Example 2:

    In one of my emails with Tia well after we booked it was stated that “two artists are always included in your booking, but any artists over 2 result in a $100 per artist fee.  If you had less than the 18 services you would be charged $100 per artist as a penalty”

    We had 18 services, so all 3 HMU artists had a full docket (which is 6). Simply because of our large group we’d have to pay an extra $100+ but I don’t feel like this was outlined in the contract either.

    Tia didn’t respond to my email inquiry or text message, until I followed up 4 days later and then she responded with “I have removed the charge from your account” without any follow up to anything else I had said.

    Lastly, I was happy with my bridal make up, but for the trial I was contacted to see if I could move my time back a little. I communicated that I could, but that I had a hard dead line of when I had to leave due to a virtual work meeting. When I arrived (at the time we had pushed our appointment back to) she was still working on the previous bride, and I was left waiting. She ensured me that I would be finished in time, but I wasn’t (but I wasn’t going to leave with partially finished makeup). She was very kind and it looked great, but I felt rushed + had to take my meeting in the car.

    Personally, these little things really matter. It added up to a stressful experience for me, and I wouldn’t go with this company if I had the choice again. They might have fixed this stuff in their contract now to make things clearer etc, but it wasn’t the kind of experience I had hoped for.

    Would not recommend

    I did not enjoy my experience with this service.
    Cost transparency: bride + 6 bridesmaids = $928 (plus cost of extensions)

    I was given the option to buy extensions at the trial and was told how thin my hair was and that extensions were almost necessary to achieve the look I wanted. I complied. The trial and extensions were $265 plus a $25 fee to “install” them, despite being clip in extensions. I was also informed that I would have to pay the installation fee again on my wedding day. Furthermore, I reached out to Tia about decreasing my number of bridesmaids requiring services, and was met with a long winded email (lecture) about how that wasn’t possible and “it’s like budgeting for 40 hours a week and only working 10-20 hours a week”. The communication with Tia over email comes off as very condescending. She also emailed me regarding a proposed timeline for the day from my wedding coordinator and reprimanded me for making a timeline for “HER” clients.

    Additionally, I previously contacted Tia 3 months prior to the wedding to set a start time of 8am. She emailed me 2.5 weeks before the wedding stating that she would not arrive until 10am because she had to bring her daughter to school.

    She had an assistant come and do all of my bridesmaids hair. I was beginning to panic as Tia was not at the venue, and my bridesmaid and fiancé had to call Tia around 11am to see where she was. Tia stated that she would be leaving soon. The ONLY stress I had on my wedding day was my hairstylist not arriving on time or communicating with me that she would be later than 10am.

    Tia does beautiful work. I enjoyed my hairstylist and it stayed well the whole night. The extensions were good quality.
    Overall, I felt like the communication style did not match with what I was looking for in a vendor, and I did not enjoy the additional stress on my wedding day.

    Beauty Unveiled's reply:

    Brittney,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with my business. We genuinely appreciate all input, as it helps us improve and provide the best service possible.

    I’m glad to hear that you were pleased with the quality of the work and the hairstyle I provided. I sincerely apologize for the frustrations you encountered, particularly with communication and timing. It is always our goal to ensure that hairstyles last all day long, and we carefully consider timing to achieve this. Since we knew your completion time was set for 1-2 PM, we felt that starting at 8 AM would lead to unnecessary waiting, potentially affecting the freshness of your hairstyle. Although I did need to get my daughter off to school, I was only assigned to do your hair and one other style, which takes me a total of 1.5 hours. To ensure your look was at its best for your special day, I felt it was better to style you towards the end of your timeframe, especially since you had chosen a down and curled style. I’m sorry if, for even a moment, you questioned whether I would arrive. We do clearly communicate that not all artists will arrive and depart at the same times. We ensure that at least one artist will be there at your start time, and that you will be completed by your deadline.

    I’m sorry that you felt our reply regarding decreasing services was unacceptable. We simply try to put into perspective that our artist’s budget a certain amount of income for the wedding day and we can’t unexpectedly reduce that amount on them. This is clearly stated throughout the booking process and on the contract.

    We understand that coordinators and photographers do have input on getting ready timelines, and we try our best to accommodate them, however, we do state in our contracts that we will create our timelines according to your completion deadline.

    Regarding the cost and installation fees for the extensions, I’m sorry you found this charge to be unfair and unnecessary. We find it very important to tease the root area where the extensions are being placed to ensure their security so they do not fall out. It also takes experience to understand where to place the extensions so that they are not visible.

    We aim to provide clear information upfront and pride ourselves on transparency. All of your concerns are made very clear in multiple places throughout the booking process as well as on the contract. I apologize that you feel our policies and procedures were unacceptable. We give all of our clients the opportunity to read through the contract and ask any questions necessary prior to signing.

    Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you all the best.
    Tia

    Average Make-Up, Lack Professionalism

    Long story short, my bridal party and I did not receive the full/complete services we paid for. We had so many issues through the services and after they left the majority of my bridal party had make-up crisis (make-up breaking down, oily skin, creasing, patchy shadow, etc.) and my curls were flat by the time we took pictures. They did not book enough time, the MUA struggled with my lashes at the trial and did not offer to help or place lashes on my wedding party on the wedding day because she might not be able to do it well due to our eye shape or have time for the clusters (I had to do the lash strips for some or they had to learn how to use lash clusters). Tia was very unprofessional to my review and the negative feedback. The constant deflecting and blaming the wedding party was uncalled for. She refused to acknowledge any of the issues we encountered. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!

    Do not hire this company.

    I gave this company the benefit of the doubt over and over, and it still nearly ruined my wedding day. Of every vendor I hired, this is the only one I'd actively warn other brides away from—and I wish I'd trusted my gut and switched companies the first time something felt off.
    Here's what happened, in order.

    How I found them
    I saw Beauty Unveiled listed as a preferred vendor at a venue we toured (but didn't book). Their online reviews looked mostly positive, and their portfolio stood out to me for two reasons: I wear my hair naturally curly and their curly-hair photos looked the best of anyone I'd researched, and as a redhead, I'm picky about makeup artists who can actually work with my coloring. Seeing brides of different races well represented in their portfolio is usually a good sign for me on that front, so I booked an intro call.

    Red flags before I'd even booked
    Kristin, the business manager, missed our scheduled intro call; I had to follow up before she called back. The call itself felt oddly aggressive, which seemed like a strange sales tactic. Not a dealbreaker on its own, though—she recommended Tia for hair and herself for makeup based on what I described wanting.
    A week later I booked the Elite hair and makeup package and specifically requested Tia and Kristin. By then Kristin had already booked another wedding, so I was reassigned to a makeup artist named Zaliyah, whose portfolio didn't impress me. The looks read as heavy makeup, rather than enhancing the clients' natural beauty, and I was nervous going in.

    That nervousness got worse when I came across another bride's public Facebook post describing her and her bridesmaids' makeup melting and becoming cakey almost immediately after application. I had a bad feeling and reached out to ask who had done her makeup. She told me it was Zaliyah.
    I decided to go through with the trial anyway and decide afterward whether to switch companies.

    Trial #1: Hair (Tia) and Makeup (Zaliyah)
    Hair
    Tia did a nice job with my curls, but I was surprised by how much preparation fell on me. I was told to bring my own diffuser and spray bottle and apply my normal curl products before arriving. I was also expected to scrunch out the cast myself if needed.

    I was surprised that on my wedding day I'd be expected to provide equipment and handle so much of the curl prep myself.

    When I explained that I'd chosen Beauty Unveiled specifically because so many other curly-hair portfolios looked frizzy, Tia framed it as largely depending on how well I prepared my own hair. It felt a little like I was being preemptively blamed in case the results weren't good. The finished hair itself looked nice, but I decided I wanted a different style for the wedding.

    Makeup
    I'd sent extensive reference photos—including one of my favorite professional makeup looks on myself, albeit from over a decade ago—and wrote a detailed description of what works on me. I specifically explained that despite my pale skin, I look best in warm spring colors like peach, coral, champagne, gold, and berry, rather than the cool neutrals makeup artists often default to on redheads.
    When I sat down, Zaliyah actually repeated those notes back to me almost word for word, which made me feel confident she'd understood exactly what I wanted.
    There wasn't a mirror in front of me while she worked, so I couldn't see anything until she finished. She handed me a mirror and immediately asked what I'd like changed.

    The moment I looked at myself, I realized she'd done almost the exact opposite of what I'd requested.

    The makeup was cool-toned and ashy, one eyelash was already peeling off, the blush was placed too low on my cheeks, and the lip color completely washed me out. Two friends independently told me it made me look older, and a couple of others said I looked unwell. It simply didn't flatter my face shape or coloring whatsoever.

    To her credit, the foundation color match itself was excellent.

    I asked several other makeup professionals for feedback before contacting Tia. I sent detailed notes and additional reference photos explaining exactly what I wanted changed and requested a second trial. I was strongly considering switching companies altogether, but because Tia had done such a good job with my hair—and curly bridal hair was one of my biggest priorities—I decided to give them another chance.

    Trial #2: Hair and Makeup (both with Tia)

    Tia offered to do my makeup herself this time, and I accepted.

    For my hair, we tried a different style than the first trial, but it just wasn't working. We ultimately decided on a simple style with my hair completely down.

    This becomes important later.

    The makeup was definitely better than the first trial. I still ended up choosing nearly every color myself, and while I wouldn't say it was the best professional makeup application I've ever had, I finally felt like Tia understood the look I was trying to achieve.

    Tia mentioned she couldn't get mascara completely down to the base of my blonde eyelashes, which made it look like my lashes were lifting. She suggested eyelash extensions. I tried getting extensions a few weeks later but unfortunately had an allergic reaction, so I opted to have my natural lashes tinted black before the wedding instead. Again, I found myself wondering why I was having to solve so many problems on my own. I've never had a professional MUA be unable to apply mascara or false lashes successfully.

    My only follow-up feedback after the second trial was simple:
    More polished curls.
    A different lip shade.

    Communication Issues
    When I needed to swap my mother's booked hair and makeup slot for a sixth bridesmaid (my mom decided against having services done), Tia's initial email response was oddly abrasive. She seemed to think I was asking for a refund, when I was actually asking to transfer the services to someone else and was fully expecting the price to increase if necessary.

    I responded professionally, offered to hop on a phone call if that would make it easier to explain, and we quickly got everything sorted out.

    Around the same time, I also noticed my invoice didn't actually match the services I'd booked. I itemized everything that was incorrect, Tia apologized, and she updated the invoice.

    At that point, I felt like everything had been resolved.

    The Week Before
    The week before my wedding, my regular curly-hair stylist suggested adding a few small braids to my hairstyle. It was a very minor adjustment.

    I emailed Tia several reference photos, and she confirmed it would be no problem. In fact, she asked me and a few bridesmaids to arrive an hour earlier so there would be plenty of time to incorporate the change.

    My regular hair stylist—who also went to makeup school and previously worked at MAC—also pointed out several things that could be improved about my trial makeup. She recommended I go to Sephora, have my makeup professionally done there, and purchase the products they used as a backup.

    I did exactly that.

    Ironically, the Sephora makeup looked noticeably better than either of my professional bridal trials. I bought the products intending to bring them with me on the wedding day...and naturally, of course, the one thing I forgot that morning was the makeup bag.

    Wedding Day
    I arrived at 7:00 a.m. with three bridesmaids. Tia reviewed the trial photo of my hair and asked if there was anything I wanted to change.

    I reminded her of the only feedback I'd given after my second trial—more polished curls—and showed her the braid inspiration photos and the email we'd exchanged just days before.

    Throughout the morning, she rotated between me and the bridesmaids, so it was difficult to tell exactly what was happening with my own hair. At the time, I didn't think much of it because I was running on very little sleep and obviously had a hundred other things on my mind.

    Looking back, I realize I never imagined I'd have to advocate for myself so much on my own wedding morning. After two trials and months of planning, I expected things to simply go according to plan.

    Makeup
    When Tia finished my makeup, something immediately felt off.
    I couldn't quite identify what was bothering me, and I started questioning whether I was just being overly anxious because it was my wedding day.
    Later, after comparing my wedding photos to the trial photos side by side, I realized exactly what had changed.

    The darker, cooler gray-toned eyeshadow that had only been used on the outer corner during my trial had been applied across my entire eyelid. The lighter champagne shimmer that had brightened the inner eye during my trial was gone.
    The blush was once again much cooler than we'd discussed and placed too low on my cheeks.

    The lip color, at least, was an improvement.

    Almost immediately, one of my eyelashes started lifting again.

    Hair
    Then came the biggest mistake of the day.

    When Tia finally handed me a mirror to show me the back of my hair, I was shocked.

    She had pinned the back of my hair up into essentially the exact style we had explicitly rejected during both trials.

    It wasn't even the hairstyle in the trial photo she'd shown me minutes earlier because we'd taken the pinned section down before taking those pictures.

    She had spent roughly three hours styling my hair into a look I'd already decided against—twice.

    I reminded her about the braid inspiration photos I'd emailed only days earlier.
    She was surprised and said she couldn't believe she hadn't written notes about it because she usually takes extensive notes. She also commented that braids were "easy."

    She then had to undo much of what she'd done and recurl large sections of my hair with a curling iron. Looking back at my wedding photos, I can still see evidence of where the earlier pinned style had been secured with bobby pins in the back.

    At that point there simply wasn't enough time left to revisit the makeup.
    I had to use the remaining time fixing my hair instead.

    She also forgot our plan for placing my hair vine and asked me where I wanted it positioned. I ended up directing her, but I think it wound up too far back to really be visible in many of the photos (which to be fair, she warned about. But I wasn’t happy to have to make a decision in such a high stress moment). Looking back, I wish she'd simply placed it where she thought looked best, since she's the professional.

    Everyone around me kept telling me how beautiful I looked.

    I wanted to believe them.

    Instead, I spent the morning trying not to cry because I knew this wasn't the look we'd planned through two trials and months of preparation. I also knew I'd already seen a much better version of myself from other professional makeup applications. That was the hardest part—not that I looked "bad," but that I knew exactly how much better the final result could have been.

    The Reception
    Just before the ceremony, the eyelash started lifting again, and my makeup began visibly breaking apart.

    It wasn't simply wearing off—it was literally crumbling off my face.

    It looked horrendous.

    My mother-in-law told me there was no way she was going to let me go into my reception looking like that. She wanted me to remove it altogether rather than letting it continue to deteriorate during the reception, even knowing I'm prone to rosacea and would be left with very red skin.

    I've had my makeup professionally done around eight times before, including in significantly hotter weather than the roughly 76°F we had that day, and I have never experienced anything like this.

    Notably, my bridesmaids' makeup—all done by Kalley—looked beautiful and lasted all day and all night.

    Mine was the only makeup Tia had done.

    Someone in my bridal party alerted my wedding planner, who called Tia.
    Initially, Tia's response was to quote $150 for someone to come fix the makeup.
    I refused to pay additional money to correct a problem that had been caused by the company in the first place.

    Eventually, they agreed to send someone free of charge, which, in my opinion, should have been the immediate response.

    Tia later explained that the initial $150 quote was because she had been told I had airbrush makeup, which I did not.

    Unfortunately, another communication breakdown followed.

    Because someone mistakenly told Tia that Zaliyah had done my makeup instead of Tia, she apparently sent Zaliyah—or another artist—to an entirely different bride about an hour away in Milwaukee. From what I understand, she asked who had done the makeup but not who the bride was or where the venue was.

    As a result, no one came to help me.

    At one point my wedding planner asked who had done my makeup for the rehearsal dinner because she assumed I'd hired someone else.

    I hadn't.

    I'd done it myself.

    Ironically, my own makeup looked better and lasted better than the professional bridal makeup I'd paid for.

    That evening, Tia emailed me explaining everything that had happened from her perspective: the initial $150 quote, the later decision to send someone free of charge, the mix-up over who had done my makeup, and the artist being dispatched to the wrong bride.

    She also said she was surprised because she'd used the exact same products as during my trial.

    The difference, of course, is that my trial took place in early April—not on an actual wedding day with summer temperatures, emotions, movement, hugs, photos, and hours of wear.

    The tone of the email also struck me as a bit odd. She repeatedly referred to a "lady who didn't identify herself" (paraphrasing), when she was talking about my wedding planner.

    Meanwhile, one of my bridesmaids sent a guest to a nearby Walgreens to buy me new foundation.

    Somehow, praise the Lord, she picked an almost perfect color match.

    I ended up missing about 20 minutes of cocktail hour removing the professional makeup I'd paid for and replacing it with drugstore foundation. They hadn't thought or been told to buy blush, and my eyelash was still lifting because no one had picked up eyelash glue.

    As a result, I look noticeably paler than I wanted throughout much of my reception, and again my eyes were too dark. The makeup wasn’t as flattering as it could have been to my eye shape, face shape or skin tone.

    Bottom Line
    To Tia's credit, after I emailed explaining how devastated I was, she responded with empathy and refunded the amount I requested. I appreciate that gesture. Unfortunately, it didn't change what happened on my wedding day.

    This was, without question, the worst part of my wedding and the one thing I'd change if I could go back.

    Hair and makeup were among the most important parts of my wedding planning because I wanted to feel like the best version of myself on a day that would be photographed forever.

    Instead, I spent part of my wedding removing professional makeup in the bridal suite, missed a portion of cocktail hour fixing it myself, and still look back at many of my photos wishing I'd trusted my instincts and hired someone else.

    For balance, there were several positives:
    Arielle and Samantha reportedly did excellent work for others in my bridal party.
    Kalley did a wonderful job on my bridesmaids' makeup. I honestly wish she'd done mine.
    Tia was consistently responsive by email and did make genuine efforts to address problems as they arose.
    The company successfully accommodated a large group (bride, six bridesmaids, mother-in-law, grandmother-in-law, flower girl, and my fiancé, who later opted out).
    I also received many compliments on my hair, though I think that's at least partly because I have naturally thick hair that holds a curl well.

    Despite those positives, I can't recommend this company based on my experience.

    Too many warning signs appeared before the wedding, too many mistakes happened on the wedding day itself, and the issue that mattered most to me—bridal hair and makeup—ultimately required me to spend part of my wedding fixing work that I'd paid professionals to do.

    If I could go back and change one vendor decision from my wedding, this would be it.

    Beauty Unveiled's reply:

    Dear Ellen,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am truly sorry to hear that you look back on your wedding day with disappointment. Every bride deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and cared for, and we never want anyone to leave feeling otherwise.

    First and foremost, I appreciate that after your wedding you communicated with me directly and gave me the opportunity to discuss your concerns. While I am grateful to be able to resolve the matter privately by refunding the amount you requested, I recognize that a refund cannot undo the emotions tied to such an important day.

    Your review reflects your personal experience, and while there are aspects of your account that differ from our records and recollection of events, this is not the place to debate those differences point by point. Instead, we want future brides to know what matters most to us.

    Looking back, there are areas where we could have served you better. The communication breakdown surrounding your day-of concerns should have been handled differently, and we regret that the experience left you feeling unsupported during such an important moment. Regardless of how the miscommunication occurred, we understand why that was frustrating, and we have taken this as an opportunity to review and strengthen our internal communication procedures for wedding-day concerns.

    We are also incredibly grateful for your recognition of the artists who cared for your bridal party and for acknowledging the efforts made throughout the planning process to accommodate your requests, additional trial, scheduling changes, and the size of your wedding party.

    For over 10 years, our company has had the privilege of serving hundreds of brides each year. We know that every wedding is deeply personal, and while we are proud of the experiences most of our brides have, we also believe there is always room to learn and improve when a client leaves feeling disappointed.

    We sincerely wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness together and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day.

    From good to bad

    I intially had a great experience with the stylist I booked and paid for from my trial. Fast forward to wedding day. The stylist I booked was unfortunately not able to make it so they sent another stylist, no big deal right? Wrong. Long story short, it was not good. Majority of my bridal party hated their hair and as the bride, I was also very unhappy with how mine turned out. And the company was already paid ahead of time with gratuity automatically included.

    Do NOT get Tia

    There are so many great hair/makeup artists, trust me and look elsewhere or at least find a different team than I had.

    To start off, I had my trial done. I arrived at 9:45am and was questioned why I was there, that my trial didn't start until 10am. (I drove from 1.5 hours away, I didn't want to be late and to be honest, I was very excited!)
    As soon as I got into the chair, I showed her a few pictures and she got to work. Not only was Tia silent the ENTIRE time but she didn't ask my name or anything about me. The few word exchanged were initiated by me, "have you ever done hair at ____?" - No, where is that? "In _______." - ya, I typically don't travel more than 30 minutes. "Oh, well I'm suprised you agreed" - ya me too.
    When I left I was very uneasy with the overall experience and felt as if she had no care at all. But being optimistic, I pushed it aside figuring "maybe she's just having a off day."
    Overtime I decided to change my style, since the trial was 8 months before my actual wedding day. I emailed her and she said it shouldn't be a problem.
    DAY OF - When Tia arrived I mentioned changing the style and she said she had no clue, that her assistant handles all emails..... that I understand but does her assistant not relay messages to her? - I thought that was weird.
    Anyways, all the girls obviously had their vision. Well, she shut them all down and said she can't do that. I showed her 2 pictures to go off of and she said "well those are both different, which one do you want" - I want something like these too...
    She spent all morning making rude faces, grudging and seeming annoyed at my bridal party. My niece asked if she can redo some curls that were falling out at the end if she has time and her response was "I told you you can't hold a curl so you shouldn't have it half down" and never tried to fix it. Instead, another bridemaid re curled it for her and it held all night.

    Overall I was extremely disappointed in her hospitality and overall personality. As far as her work, it looked great for an hour, by the ceremony my curls were falling and it was completely frizzed by the end of dinner. She used ZERO products minis a spray of hairspray at the end and didn't even say goodbye.

    I have alot of friends and family in the hair industry and they all agreed someone who is so well known in the hair/makeup industry should know how to hold a curl regardless on if your hair holds it or not, you make it work with research on products to create artwork.

    Beauty Unveiled's reply:

    Jackie,
    Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for any disappointment you experienced. I wish you had brought these concerns to my attention. I always strive to work with my clients to ensure their satisfaction.

    Regarding your trial: I may have asked you why you were there to clarify whether you were the client I was expecting to pick up extensions or if you were there for a trial. I apologize if my silence seemed rude. I find that I work more efficiently when I focus & remain quiet. I also tend to adapt to the energy of my clients. Since you were relaxed and quiet as well, I likely mirrored that behavior. I'm sorry for not asking your name. It was already listed in the appointment details, so I was aware of it. Typically, I don't accept bookings more than 30 mins away from me, as I have a 7yo daughter & value the time I spend with her. I recall accepting your booking because I happened to be the closest artist available to you.

    As for the Wedding day: It's common for brides to make last-minute changes to their look. I am always accommodating of that. I apologize if you felt a lack of communication between me & my assistant. We always ask the bride about their preferred look to ensure we are on the same page, in case any changes were made.

    I find it hard to believe that I would shut down any of the inspiration photos provided by the bridal party. My intention is always to offer advice & feedback based on factors such as hair type, volume, length, weather conditions. If a client shows me a photo that cannot be replicated exactly, I would never compromise quality & would communicate that my style my not duplicate it well. We encourage clients to bring inspiration photos that are not solely from Instagram or Pinterest, as many feature extensions & filtered enhancements. If any of your bridal party felt that I was dismissing their ideas, it was never my intention. I always strive for perfection.

    For your hair, I recall you showing me 2 photos, each with unique characteristics. Since it was your wedding day and not a trial, I wanted to ensure I understood exactly what you liked from each photo so I could create the look you envisioned. I NEVER provide services without using hair products. If you had mentioned any issues from your trial with your hair not holding a curl, I would have suggested another trial to troubleshoot & ensure the desired result. I apologize if your hair didn't hold a curl or became frizzy. Unfortunately, with down hairstyles, touch-ups & adjustments are often necessary throughout the event due to external factors such as the elements & contact with clothing.

    I would never make rude faces, show annoyance, or begrudge anyone. I genuinely love what I do, and even if I'm upset for any reason, I would never let it show. If anyone perceived it that way, they were mistaken.

    Your niece informed me her hair didn’t hold a curl well. I assured her that I would do my best and offered advice that a down style might not be the best choice then. I always offer minor touch-ups at the end. I don't recall turning down any requests for touch-ups. There may have been a situation where she wasn't available at the time of touch-ups. Stylists are artists, not magicians. We can use all our expertise & techniques, but if a client's hair doesn't hold a curl well, there are limitations to what we can achieve.

    There are instances where I may need to leave promptly & may not be able to say goodbye in person to the bride if they are elsewhere. I apologize if this was the case. I always make sure to say goodbye to whoever is present in the room. I would never just sneak out without acknowledging others.

    I hope this clarifies any misunderstandings & provides some insight into my intentions and processes. Your concerns are important to me, and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss them further & find a way to rectify the situation.

    Would not recommend

    I really hate to write bad reviews; however I remember reading hair/ makeup reviews for hours and hours when I was deciding who to hire for my wedding and I would have loved to have read a review like this. I hired Beauty Unveiled by Tia in Aug 2023 for my 9/21/24 wedding. I booked the “elite” premium HMU for myself, the bride, and booked HMU for 6 bridesmaids and was so excited! Tia did my hair/ makeup for my engagement photoshoot in Sep 2023 and I loved it! However, the company decides which hair/ makeup artist you are paired up with… in Feb 2024 I had to schedule my hair and makeup trials where I had to travel to their location. I had to drive to Kiel for my makeup trial (1 hour drive each way). I was wanting full glam, like Kim Kardashian glam, and left with my makeup looking like a middle schooler did it. It was extremely blotchy, didn’t match my skin color and there was absolutely nothing “elite” or “glam” about it. The makeup artists next trial appointment was there a few minutes early and sitting in her living room waiting right next to me, so I did not have the opportunity to tell her how unhappy I was with everything). The first 4 pictures are pictures I took in my car, 5 min after I left. I broke down bawling in my car, never had I anticipated my bridal makeup looking as awful and terrible as it did. I emailed Tia about the situation and voiced my concerns about the quality of the makeup and was given 2 options: 1. Do another trial with the same artist or 2: Be released from my contract without penalty. I was very disappointed that there was no effort to find me a better artist.

    I did go to my hair trial a few days later (another 1 hour drive each way). I thought the hair trial looked okay, but not fabulous. I paid for both trials and tipped both of them (even though I wasn’t happy, they still provided a service). I ended up getting a referral to another company that was AMAZINGGGG and available somehow on the day of my wedding. She got my into her studio for a hair/ makeup trial 2 days later and she NAILED IT. I have attached pictures of that trial as well to show what I was looking for.

    My takeaway is that Beauty Unveiled by Tia is a great option for someone that normally wears little to no make up and is looking for a more “natural” style. Not someone who is wanting full Hollywood glam. I did end up cancelling my contract and hiring the 2nd artist that I found.

    Extra fees & extra stress

    I was excited to book Beauty Unveiled as it has such high reviews-I would recommend brides look on the Wisconsin Brides facebook page for additional bridal experiences that differ a bit from some of these reviews.

    All in all, I liked the MUA/hairstylist assigned to me but wish that I could have found her without booking under Beauty Unveiled. There were a lot of additional fees with booking under this company. I did not realize when booking that my MUA would be located in Chicago and that I would have to drive there or pay additional fees for my trial. They also tried to give me an early start fee which I argued because I already had to pay for a hotel for my mua for the night before the wedding. They added a lot of extra stress-sending me an "URGENT" email days before my wedding stating that they would cancel my services if I didn't pay the outstanding fees (which I had paid in full months prior, they just happened to add the travel fees the week of my wedding without sending me any other notice). I would recommend doing thorough research before booking!
