Rachel Sent on 03/09/2025Best! Updo! Ever! Michelle is the bomb dot com.
I (happily) landed in Michelle's chair for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, and I think I fell a little bit in love! She helped calm my pre-wedding nerves while making me feel more beautiful than I ever knew possible. And Michelle's magic is that she made me feel beautiful while still looking like MYSELF - not an easy feel. She made it look effortless. And special. And memorable. Run, don't walk, and book Michelle and the Ciao Bella team. Thank you, Michelle - you are a joy and a gift to Keys brides. -

Michelle and her team (Alda, Steph, and Nicole) are the truly the best in the Florida Keys! We had 10+ services for bride and bridal party hair and makeup this past month for my wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful and felt their absolute best!! I've now had numerous services from Michelle @ Ciao Bella for my engagement photos and trial and can't rave about her enough! Book them immediately for your wedding!!! -

Alex Sent on 10/17/2024High quality luxe experience
Michelle did my hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only is she an absolute pro, but such a pleasant and lovely human who really helped dissolve the stress of the wedding day. I look forward to working again with her in the future whenever I can! The salon environment was lovely as well-we did trial and nails prior, and hair and makeup day of at our hotel. ♥️♥️ -

Michelle at Ciao Bella did my hair & my makeup for my friend's wedding on February 9, 2024!
*SHE DID AMAZING!* I was honestly so obsessed with my look! I received so many compliments throughout the night! I would absolutely recommend her! Not to mention she was so sweet to work with!! I am actually very sad she doesn’t live in NY because I would totally hire her for my upcoming wedding! Thanks again for making me look & feel like a beauty queen!💕 -

Michelle was amazing!!! I did a trial with her before the big day to nail down the details. She is SO sweet and made me feel very comfortable. Day of the wedding Michelle, Stephanie, and Alda came to Largo Resort to do all the girl’s hair and makeup. I loved working with Michelle and cannot recommend her enough! -

Kathleen Sent on 06/06/2023Amazing hair and makeup by Michelle Bertelli!
Michelle Bertelli of Ciao Bella Salon came to Amara Cay Resort The morning of our wedding to do hair and makeup for me, the bride, my Maid of Honor and my mother. Michelle is so talented and a delight to work with! We all looked and felt gorgeous the day of my wedding thanks to Michelle! She was sweet, flexible, lovely and unflappable because we had people coming in and out of the bridal suite that day! I cannot thank Ciao Bella and Michelle enough for making our wedding day so beautiful and perfect! I felt fantastic for my wedding!! -

Susan Sent on 04/25/2023Just Perfect
I had originally booked hair and makeup with a salon/spa in Marathon two months before my wedding. They called me 24 days before the wedding to tell me there was another bridal party that day and asked if I could push my appointments back and I’d also have to come into the salon, instead of them coming to me. To say the least I was upset, that because I was responsible and booked ahead of time that they would even consider calling me to ask me to rearrange my appointments to accommodate this other bride. So 24 days before my wedding I went in search of someone else to do my hair and makeup. I had heard great things... -

Lesley Sent on 12/12/2022Best hair and make up team!
Alda was such a pleasure to work with. My planner LMae events suggested using Ciao bella and my hair and make up we're on point every time! They were even able to see my husband the day we were getting married last minute and did a perfect job. I can't say enough about how great this place was! -

Gabriela Sent on 12/10/2022Talented artists! Highly recommend!!
My wedding planner, venue and multiple other people recommended Ciao Bella as the top hair and make up artists in Islamorada! I’m so happy I hired Michelle Bertelli with Ciao Bella to do my wedding make up! Booking with Bella at Ciao Bella was so easy and she’s so sweet. Day of my wedding Michelle was sent to do hair and make up and Jeanne did make up. They both did a beautiful job! They were on time and progressional! We all loved how they executed our inspired looks! -

Michelle did an amazing job on my hair and make up for my wedding along with the MOG and MOB and one of my bridesmaids hair. She is extremely talented and came highly recommended. -

Sonya Sent on 05/18/2021Love this awesome place!
This place was absolutely perfect for my family. We got our nails, and toes done here then the next day had them do our hair and my (bride) makeup. Every thing they did was absolutely perfect. The owner, Bella, is super nice and called a few times to double check on us. I'm not much into makeup, but I actually had them do mine, and I'm so glad I did. It looked very natural and just enough to make me beautiful. We showed them pictures of our hair and I think our hair came out prettier than the photos! Thank you Ciao Bella crew! -

Erin Sent on 05/07/2021Best H&M ever!
I wanted to take a moment to thank Bella, Michelle, and all of the girls at Ciao Bella who got me and my girls ready the morning of our wedding (Renee, Alda, Sabina & Bler). Not only did we pretty much have one to one coverage for my girls hair and makeup, which kept our H&M schedule perfectly on time and even EARLY (that never happens at weddings, right? Being early!! LOL), but everyone looked absolutely stunning! They managed to bring out the most beautiful aspects of every girl while still looking like themselves! They even were able to rein in my 3 and 6 year old flower girls to do their hair! My hair and makeup, done by... -

The day before the wedding I had a pedicure, massage, and blow out. The day of the wedding they came to the venue and did my hair and sister's. Everyone was very professional, talented, and pleasant to work with. Definitely recommend! -

I hired Ciao Bella for hair and make-up for my wedding. Michelle was an absolute dream to work with, starting with my trial and ending with the wedding day. She was patient and efficient, listening to what I wanted and taking her time to get me ready for my big day. Her work is just stunning - my hair and make-up lasted all night and I got so many compliments. Ciao Bella was so helpful in planning, answering multiple phone calls and proving details and organization that was very helpful for planning a destination wedding. I took my mother and other members of my bridal party for mani/pedis the day before and they took such good care of us!... -

Lisa Sent on 11/11/2019Caring and wonderful
Sabina was fantastic and so sweet. She arrived at the wedding venue and did makeup for all the bridesmaids plus myself, mother of bride and mother of groom. Everyone raved about her. We all looked beautiful.
Bella throughout the entire process was so easy to communicate with .
My daughter couldn't have been more pleased that I chose this establishment for her destination wedding.
I highly recommend. -

Michelle was fantastic and helped me find a hairstyle that fit my vision she worked well with Florida humidity and wind the day of the wedding! Make up and hair stayed put through wind and hours of dancing! My bridesmaids were all flawless as well! Thank you! -

Alli Sent on 10/17/2019Wonderful!!! Love, love, love!
Not enough can be said about the crew at Ciao Bella Salon. I had the full service treatment from a spray tan to trial hair and makeup to gel mani and pedi to wedding day hair and makeup. All top notch and I would highly recommend to any bride and bridal party looking to get pampered during their wedding stay in the keys. Renae was absolutely lovely and saved the day with my overly blond hair. She made me feel so very beautiful with a toner AND the trial and wedding day hair and makeup - WOW!!! I felt like a model. Juliet is a wiz at creating gorgeous nails and I loved my spray tan - lasted for... -

Whitney Sent on 09/10/2019AMAZING Makeup and Service!
My only regret with Ciao Bella is that I didn't call them sooner! I went around and around with other local makeup artists who either didn't listen to what I was looking for, or were just outrageously expensive. I had basically given up on trying to find anyone within the price range my bridesmaids were prepared for and what I thought was reasonable. Finally I was exasperated and only a few weeks from my wedding. I thought there was no way Ciao Bella would have availability for me during peak season and at the last minute.
From the moment I spoke to Bella, I felt at ease. She was SO sweet to me, so accommodating, and seemed like... -

I highly recommend Ciao Bella for all your beauty needs! -

Kait Sent on 06/27/2016Ciao Bella was the right fit for our group! Their pricing and service was so amazing and all of my girls loved their hair. Michelle really knows what she is doing and did such a beautiful up do on me. I am glad I went with that over having my hair down because it was hot and the wind would have blown it around.
Thank you for such an amazing job guys! -

Stephanie Sent on 04/25/2014Michelle was AWESOME!!! Me and my bridesmaids went to Ciao Bella for nails, hair, and makeup for my wedding. All of my girls were pleased with their nails and hair. Michelle did my hair and makeup and did an amazing job! Bella is super sweet and was very helpful in scheduling our appointments. Highly recommend!!! -

Cheryl Sent on 05/01/2011I was recently married on April 22, 2011 in Islamorada, FL. With one day till the event, I realized I had not yet found a place for my bridal party, my mom, my officiate and myselft to get our nails done! With 7 people in our party it was going to be difficult to get everyone in especially on short notice. Bella the owner worked a way for us in small groups to have seperate times to come in. I couldn't have been more happy that she was able to accomodate us all!
As we all know, being a bride can be stressful so my officiate, my friend, wanted to teat us both to a massage. Again on... -

Darlene Sent on 06/25/2009Prefection is what Bella's salon provided not only me but my mother and maid of honor. Being from New York, we could easily have been snobs to salons in the keys however this salon can compete with any 5 star salon up north. Not only are they professional, talented and clean, they are also personable and extremely down to earth which made the experience a piece of heaven before my wedding. I also had the bridal facial in their new spa and it was the peace I needed before the big day. I highly suggest it. While their are other salons in Islamorada, I highly suggest going to Bella first. you won't be dissapointed.
