    10/10 Recommend!

    We had a great experience with Black Orchid! Marissa was our artist for hair and did an absolutely amazing job on everyone's look and kept me (The Bride) calm throughout the day. The planning also was made a lot easier with the help of Gina (Owner) and we stayed in constant communication the whole time!

    Great experience!

    I couldn’t recommend Black Orchid Beauty more! Gina was professional and helpful in getting everything booked and explaining how everything worked. She set us up with Dani and Daya, who both did a fantastic job. I was nervous about makeup as I rarely wear it. Daya was super receptive to this and made me feel really comfortable. Dani was amazing to work with and made sure we were all extremely happy with our hair up until the very last moment.

    Beautiful work

    Shenna did an amazing job for my bridal party. We were all beautiful without being tacky. Very tasteful done. Enhanced our own beauty to make us look our best.

    Amazing service!

    Gina, Anna, and Shenna did such an amazing job with hair and makeup on my wedding day! The team was very personable, fun, and made us all look beautiful. Gina was extremely professional and responsive throughout the booking and planning process and made everything easy. I would highly recommend anyone in the Milwaukee area book with Black Orchid Beauty for their wedding day!

    Amazing Wedding Hair and Makeup!

    A lot of crazy and mishaps happened on my wedding day but my hair and makeup and that of my bridal party and mother was absolutely perfect!!! Everyone's look was beautiful, matching their taste, style, dress, and complexion. This was all thanks to the wonderful skill and hard work of our hair stylist Shannon and our makeup artist Daisy! Both were just excellent to work with, professional and kind, and able to understand each person's special request so that we all looked fantastic!

    Beautiful job!

    Black Orchid Beauty was the best! Gina made scheduling and coordinating logistics extremely easy. Jasmine (hair) and Daisy (makeup) did a fantastic job on each person in the wedding party. I got compliments on both my hair and makeup all night and I felt so confident and beautiful. Would highly recommend their services for any wedding!

    Great experience

    Shenna did my hair and makeup and did an absolutely amazing job. I was worried about getting makeup done because I never wear any, but she really listened to what I wanted and created a very natural look. I am so happy with the result. Melissa and Marissa did hair for the bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls, and were amazing as well. I highly recommend!

    Great experience!

    We worked with Gina for hair and daisy for make up and I was very satisfied with both ladies! Everyone’s hair turned out gorgeous and nobody had any issues with pieces falling! Daisy did incredible on our make up. She did a great job elevating our look while not looking overly intense. Definitely would recommend them to anyone getting married in the MKE area!

    Highly recommended!

    It was an absolute pleasure working with Marissa and Daisy! They made the entire process seamless and stress-free, which is exactly what I was looking for. Their positive and relaxed energy was just what I needed to prepare for the big ceremony. My bridesmaids and I had a blast chatting and laughing with them. They were very professional and they made us all look completely gorgeous! For someone who barely wears more than bronze eyeshadow, I couldn't believe it was actually me! My hair and makeup lasted the entire evening, which seemed like magic.

    Dream team!

    Gina and Anna were absolutely amazing on my wedding day! They were a true dream team! Gina did the makeup for my bridal party as well as my hair and my maid of honor's hair. I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments on my makeup the day of. My hair was beyond any expectations! I didn't think it could look any better after the trial but somehow Gina managed to make it absolutely perfect. Anna did the hairstyles for the rest of my bridesmaids. She did such a great job at listening to what everyone wanted and making their visions a reality. Anna also did the makeup for my mom. My mom was nervous to have her makeup done because she never wears any and didn't want to look different. Anna was so sweet and listened to my mom and just accentuated her natural beauty. Not only are Gina and Anna amazing at hair and makeup but they are both the sweetest humans. We had such a blast with them getting ready the morning of my wedding.

    Best make up & hair

    All of the mothers and bridesmaids loved their make up and hair. The make up was natural looking but highlighted in photos without looking too overdone and everyone was able to get the hair they wanted!

    Nailed it!

    Nothing but great things to say about working with Melissa for hair services on my wedding day. I was planning a wedding in Chicago, from Brooklyn, and ended up reaching out to Black Orchid after hearing about them even though they were based in Milwaukee. I wouldn't say I was the easiest client to work with trying to plan a 2nd long-distance wedding after having my original 2020 wedding plans crumble apart. I was also looking for a bit of a funkier, non-traditional wedding hair-style that could have easily gotten botched without the right stylist who understood what I was looking for and had the skills to do it. However, Melissa nailed it, and couldn't be happier that Gina knew to pair us up! Both Gina and Melissa were also very flexible and accommodating with the travel and scheduling my trial while I was in town for a short-visit before the wedding.

    The BEST Experience!

    We had Gina, Shenna and Marissa for our group 9 and they were absolutely fantastic! I felt so stunning and everyone in my wedding party still looked amazing after a long night of dancing (those lashes did not budge). Shenna did my bridal hair/makeup and completely brought my dream bridal look to life, plus was such a blast to work with. Gina is an excellent communicator and extremely organized so I was very clear on schedule, payment, and expectations well in advance of my wedding day. Of course the girls are great at hair and makeup but that fact that Gina is also great at running the business is such an added benefit. It felt like chaos organizing all of my vendors for the wedding day EXCEPT for hair and makeup. It was such a stress free experience and totally set the tone for the day. I was so happy with the entire process of working with Black Orchid and would highly highly recommend!

    Amazing Makeup and Hair!!

    Gina and her team was AMAZING from trial to the day of. Gina was so timely and helpful during the trial process, changing what I requested. Day of the wedding her team was on time, running early and flexible. You are in good hands if you choose Black Orchid for your wedding!!

    10/10 Recommend!

    My entire bridal party had an amazing time working with Gina & Shenna! Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing, and the atmosphere when we were getting ready was professional yet still fun! Gina was awesome about helping provide inspiration for those of us who were not sure what we were looking for. She also was very friendly and patient about discussing possible options at my hair trial. Sheena did a great job on everyone's makeup. I knew I wanted my makeup to still look natural, and she did an amazing job!

    Excellent!!

    Gina was an absolute pleasure to work with! I wish I could get married all over again to have her do my hair and make up. She made me feel beautiful, so nice to work with but overall gave me a sense of calm on such a crazy day. I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Very kind, wonderful job

    Black Orchid did an amazing job for my wedding. I was going through cancer treatment at the time and they were very kind and made some safety/hygiene adjustments for me as I was high risk during the pandemic. Additionally, they helped make sure my eyebrows looked real and styled my wig in a way that people forgot that I have been sick! I'm so grateful for their expertise and support. Alise and Gina were lovely to work with!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Black Orchid Beauty was great. This was such a great decision to make for our wedding. Gina organized on-site hair and make-up for myself, my bridal party, and my mom/mother-in-law. Melissa did hair and Daisy did make-up. They were both excellent. I did trials with them both prior to the wedding, and they were so receptive to what I was looking for. On the day of, they both arrived early, were very efficient, and created incredible looks for us. Everyone was so happy with how things turned out, and the convenience of having on-site hair/make-up cannot be overstated. Thank you!!

    Amazing Stylist

    Gina was such a great find. She was so responsive, which is rare! She also showed up early and was ready to go, which was really helpful. I sent Gina a photo of what I wanted, and she knew exactly what to do. It was even better than I thought it would be. It was so nice to have such a reliable, stress-free experience on such a busy wedding day. Again, so thankful I found Gina.

    Wedding Hair

    Gina did such a great job styling my hair for my wedding! She was able to create my vision, as well as adding volume to my otherwise flat hair, and the results were beautiful. My style held all night which was amazing considering all of the dancing I did! She also did a wonderful job styling my maid of honor and my sister’s hair. She’s super sweet and really works with you to understand what you’re going for. She also traveled to where we were getting ready in the third ward which was super convenient! I highly recommend her, she’s amazing!

    Stress-free and BEST experience!

    Gina was THE BEST to work with. She brought another stylist (Marissa) with her for the day of the wedding. Both Gina and Marissa worked so well with all of my bridesmaids (7 of them!!) and really took their ideas and told them what would work best with their hair. Gina and I did a trial before the wedding to have a run through so we would know what worked with my veil and what did not. She was such a great resource. Gina helped me with a timeline for all of the girls, and her and Marissa were done early, which really helped us get to the venue on time. Anyone who books with Gina is the luckiest bride!

    Gina is amazing!

    I booked Gina for hair and makeup almost a year before the wedding and went to her for regular cuts and colors before the big day. Leading up to the wedding she was super responsive and flexible. The day of, Gina and Shenna did the hair and makeup for me, my mom and my five bridesmaids and everyone looked STUNNING! She even took the time to touch up my maid of honor's hair before we headed out for the day. All of our hair and makeup didn't budge for hours. Gina is the best hair dresser I've had and I would highly recommend booking her for your big day!

    The best team of makeup artists!

    Gina (the owner) with Black Orchid Beauty made finding makeup artists for my wedding a breeze! Gina was quick to respond to my inquiry and was extremely communicative through it all! My two makeup artists, Bridget and Daya worked collaboratively with me and created stunning looks for myself and my bridal party (we all wanted natural with a hint of glam). Gina is also on top of scheduling to ensure your wedding day runs smoothly with a set timeline. I highly recommend using Black Orchid Beauty for your wedding day!
