    Highly Recommend!!

    Blush and Braids was so great for my wedding day! I worked with Lerin for makeup and Jenn for hair, and they were both excellent!! They both listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life. My bridesmaids also felt so happy and beautiful! My hair and makeup lasted all day long – I really didn't have to do any touch-ups either. The Blush and Braids team was so wonderful – I highly recommend them to everyone!! A HUGE thank you to both Lerin & Jenn!!

    August 2024 Wedding!

    Kayla B. booked through Blush and Braids Beauty Bar (Tacoma & Seattle) was absolutely amazing! From the start, she was so fun and made me feel so comfortable at my wedding hair trial. It was like sitting down chatting with a friend the entire time! The trial was so beautiful and I scheduled a follow up with her for a trim a few weeks later to get ready for my wedding day. I had not had a hair cut in a very long time but I absolutely trusted her and my hair felt so healthy!
    On the wedding day, Kayla was again so great to work with and she made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful! I changed up my wedding hair vision a few days before and Kayla and Blush and Braids Beauty Bar were able to accommodate and communicate to each other about those changes. My wedding hair was so incredible and I got emotional when it was completed when I looked in the mirror. That was such a special moment for me because I truly felt like the most beautiful bride. I can’t thank Kayla enough for that moment and being such a genuine person. She truly cares about her clients and puts in that effort but somehow makes it look effortless! I highly recommend Kayla and Blush and Braid Beauty for your wedding!

    Washington hair and make-up wedding services - feel beautiful, look beautiful!

    I stumbled across Blush and Braids Beauty Bar and was delighted to see they have wedding hair and make up services in Seattle. They are upfront about their service pricing which I really appreciated, and answered any and all concerns. When there was a change in one of the artists hired, Katie quickly stepped up and offered to take the artist's place. Planning an out of state wedding, Katie was flexible and patient with me with scheduling when I was in Seattle for the trial. Katie took her time during the trial and immediately knew when I wasn't too thrilled about something. She took no offense and made sure that the look was exactly how I wanted it as she wanted to make sure I felt beautiful and comfortable. On the wedding day, Katie and Kimberly got straight to setting up and getting our hair and makeup done. Kimberly did an awesome job on my bridal party and mother-in-law, ensuring each person loved their look. Katie completed both my bridal hair and make-up and I felt stunning by the end of it. We were running behind on our timeline but Katie stayed back to make sure our flower girl's hair was perfect. Touch up kits were provided and my hair and make up lasted the heat and the entire day!

    Choose Blush and Braids!

    Blush Braids Beauty Bar was absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding! Starting with the planning process, they are incredibly detail-orientated when it comes to inspiration photos and fully understanding your vision. Then, the trial went amazing. I was very comfortable and the artists were truly interested in making your dream come to life. They constantly asked for your approval, if you would like anything changed, or if there was anything else you would like to try all while offering amazing advice given the high level of knowledge and expertise held by all stylists. On the day of the wedding, the artist were all incredibly timely. I had 7 bridesmaids, two mothers, and myself that needed hair and makeup done. Milian, Brenda, and Jenna were INCREDIBLE! They fit in with our group so well, had amazing personalities, and their talent was IMPRESSIVE! All of my girls were thrilled with the final product and I have never felt more confident in my life. The wide range of styles accomplished was amazing and appreciated. My mom does not typically wear much makeup, so she was very nervous, but Brenda accomplished the perfect, natural look she was looking for. Lastly, my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY despite the hours spent sweating on the dance floor :). A huge thank you to Blush Braids!

    Highly recommend!

    Natasha (makeup) and Kelsey (hair) were amazing to work with! Competitive pricing with other local vendors in the Seattle area, and the entire B&B team was easy to communicate with. I decided to change stylists after my first trial and they were so kind to accommodate. I am not a daily makeup wearer and wanted something simple - Natasha pulled it off beautifully with the airbrushing and my makeup lasted all night! A little Washington drizzle couldn’t be helped, and I still loved the final look for my hair.

    Beautiful & Affordable!

    Blush and Braids Beauty Bar did an INCREDIBLE job on my wedding hair and makeup, along with the hair and makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, and four sisters. Each and every one of us received compliments all night on how natural yet glamorous our hair and makeup looked! I am an admittedly sweaty dancer, and my hair and makeup stayed in place even after hours on the dancefloor at my wedding! Sarah, Hung, and Eva made everyone in the bridal suite feel at ease, and were able to create beautiful looks on a bunch of different hair and skin types with no problem! Sarah was SO responsive throughout the entire planning process, always responding promptly to questions, and maintaining the highest level of professionalism, but also bringing the fun. Blush and Braids was amazing to work with, and I would highly recommend them to all future brides!!

    The whole team was so accommodating to our various changes to schedule and lineup and did a great job working on a variety of skin and hair textures and levels of comfort with hair and makeup. I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day and really appreciate their work!

    I felt beautiful

    Blush and Braids Beauty Bar did a wonderful job with their beauty services. From the moment of the trial, I knew I was in good hands. Milian and Daniela were wonderful to chat with, and both were experts in their craft. I didn't have a super strong vision, but they were able to brainstorm and play with me when creating the look. On the day, we had Nadia join as one of the artists to help maintain the schedule. The team were on time, followed the schedule, and we had plenty of time to relax and get ready. They also were very eager to listen, collaborate, suggest, and follow the rest of the party's hair/beauty visions as well. Everyone looked stunning, and I felt beautiful.

    Quality and flexibility

    Blush and Braids took care of me and my gals. There were a couple of incidents where they had to reschedule a makeup and hair artist at the last minute, and they even allowed me to do a retrial for free. They were very professional and quality on the day of the wedding, and everyone looked fantastic. Thank you ladies!

    Good experience!

    I had Fitemah, Sofia and Lerin do hair and make up services for my wedding and was really pleased with how everything turned out from all the artists. Communications leading up to the big day were also a plus. Sarah was very responsive and informative!

    Beautiful and Fast

    Blush and Braids was excellent to work with. The stylists listened to wedding party, took into account the inspiration photos, and made helpful suggestions. They were easy to work with and very fast. Nothing done last minute and everyone looked lovely.

    I’m so glad I booked Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding.

    I’m so glad I booked Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding. Shelby checked in regularly and was able to answer all my questions and come up with a schedule that worked with the rest of our timeline. My HMU artist Aleana was fantastic – she was able to create the look I asked for, and she listened to my feedback from the trial and made the right changes on the wedding day. She was even able to help out my groom, who had a bit of a sunburn from the day before. The whole team was great to work with and made the process stress-free.

    Amzing hair and makeup

    SO AMAZING! My hair and makeup for my wedding turned out gorgeous! I worked with Jamie who was so lovely and she got done early on my wedding day. The process was so great. I had a hair and makeup trial and then I got an email asking how it went and any notes for Jamie. And after my wedding day I got another email asking how the hair and makeup went. It was really nice that they reached out to ask how it went and I got some time to think about if I wanted anything changed. Very affordable and worth every cent!!!!!

    Absolutely Beautiful

    I worked with Sarah and Hung with Blush and Braids Beauty Bar to do the hair and makeup for me, my four attendants, my mom and my stepdaughter for my wedding in March 2023. From beginning to end this was a great experience. Hung did a fantastic job with everyone's hair, including styling my mom's shorter hair, doing five unique updos for me and my attendants, and styling my stepdaugher's long hair. He is so sweet and incredibly talented and everyone looked fabulous. He even adjusted one updo when my friend changed her mind.

    Sarah did our makeup and her work was incredible. I don't wear much makeup, so I was a bit nervous about having so mucn on, but it looked wonderful and it stayed on all day and night. Sarah really listened to what we wanted, happily made adjustments to my makeup after my trial, and had everyone feeling beautiful.

    I highliy recommend Blush and Braids Beauty Bar and both Sarah and Hung if you have a chance to work with them. They are amazing and so fun to spend time with on the morning of your wedding!

    So glad we chose BBBB!

    The BBBB team is incredible! The work they do is excellent, and I would book them again in a heartbeat. The owner, Sarah, has quick and clear communication over email. I need to give a special shout out to Heather, who did my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding. Heather is a miracle worker. She listened to all of my concerns regarding my skin, recommended great skincare products to use to prep, and made me feel so beautiful through all of the wedding occasions! She makes great conversation, listens to exactly what you want, and can flawlessly recreate inspiration photos. If I ever need HMUA services in the future, Heather & BBBB will be my first choice! Thank you for making me and my girls look fabulous on our wedding day!!!

    Wonderful easy experience

    Sarah at Blush & Braids Beauty Bar was so easy to communicate with and prompt!! She paired us with Heather and I can’t say enough about her! She was so knowledgeable and fun to work with. Plus she really taught us the ins and outs of wedding hair and makeup. My mom, sister and I all felt like we connected with her instantly. We would recommend her any day!!! My sister and i had our hair and makeup done, and my mom had her makeup done. So fun!

    Beautiful and Reliable!

    I had such a great experience with Blush and Braids for my 11/5 wedding in Chicago. The team was flexible and reliable. There was a pretty big group (11 of us) and everyone was so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. We even ran ahead of schedule! Amazing experience and highly recommend!

    Amazing team of beauticians to cover your hair and makeup needs

    I was so pleased with the beauty services provided by Blush and Braids! Not only were they very affordable, everything was included (airbrush makeup, lashes, etc.). Eva did my makeup, including my trial beforehand, and made sure to follow up to ensure I was happy with everything before the actual wedding day. Savannah did my bridesmaids' hair, and we were all impressed by how fast she worked to get us all done on time. It was a pleasure working with both artists and I would recommend them to any bride to help get wedding-ready!

    A Must Have Wedding Day Vendor!

    I cannot thank the Blush and Braid Beauty Bar team and artists for making my wedding day hair and make-up services so beautiful. Sarah was very responsive and jumped right in when schedules needed to adjust, especially leading up to our wedding. Their services fit my beauty budget for my wedding and the value delivered is amazing. My hair and make-up lasted ALL day and beat out some outdoor temps in the 80’s. The team came to our hotel suite and was efficient at getting 15 hair and 8 make-up services done before we started first look and bridal party pictures. Shoutout to Samreen, Dana, David, Taylor, and Lerin- a great beauty team! I highly recommend using Blush and Braid Beauty for any beauty needs. Will likely use them again in the future for one off hair and make-up needs. The best of the best!

    So happy with my hair styling for my wedding!

    Julia with Blush and Braids Beauty Bar did an amazing job with my hair for my wedding! I did a half up, curled, with a hair piece comb in it. Her and her assistant also did 9 other styles for my bridesmaids and moms. Everyone was able to show them a inspo pic with what they wanted. Highly reccomend!

    Made me feel Beautiful!

    Blush and Braids Beauty Bar was great to work with. I first met Savannah and Lerin for my hair & makeup trials and with a couple of inspo pictures knew exactly what I wanted and nailed it on the first try. On the wedding day, we had Savannah, Lerin and Emelin doing me and my bridal party’s hair & makeup and all the girls were raving about how they looked and I felt SO beautiful as a bride. My hair and makeup somehow looked even better than on my trial day! Even with one of the artist’s having a transportation hiccup, Sarah was in constant communication with me and made sure we still stayed on schedule- shoutout to Emelin for doing the girl’s hairdos so quickly and beautifully. Thank you BBBB for helping me feel the most beautiful on my wedding day!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup - Downtown Chicago

    Blush and Braids Beauty Bar was fantastic! When I first got engaged a friend had a hair and makeup come to my apartment as a gift so I looked good for the party (surprise), that I didn't know about. That's when I first met David and he made me look incredible. So when it came time for the wedding I looked no further than Blush and Braids Beauty Bar. I once again used David for my engagement photos and he delivered 12/10 on my look. Sarah was fantastic at communicating with us the entire time leading up to the wedding and worked well with my day of planner. I also wanted to do a second hair trial to ensure I loved the look for the day, and Sarah made it so easy to schedule to ensure I felt great the day of the wedding. The whole team was extremely professional and was a amazing to work with. We had 15 people including myself, 12 bridesmaids, mother of the groom and grandma of the bride getting ready the day of the wedding. The 5 person team arrived on time and were flexible with last minute schedule changes made the day of. David did my hair and makeup and I truly looked the best I've ever looked in my entire life. I'm still getting compliments almost a month later about how stunning I looked. David stayed for touch ups until I went down the aisle and even helped me change my hair do for the ceremony. I truly can't say thank you enough for how amazing I looked that day - David is a ROCKSTAR. Also for the quality of service, it's extremely affordable. Thank you so much David, Sarah and the entire Blush and Braids team!

    Hair and makeup for wedding day

    Summayah (hair and makeup) and Evelyn (hair) were awesome. They did gorgeous hair and makeup exactly like me and my bridesmaids wanted and were lovely and professional. I researched a lot of places before choosing blush and braids and am so happy I went with them.
