    Perfect Makeup, Perfect Hair, Perfect Experience!!

    I cannot recommend Audra at Desert Bridal Company enough! From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt completely at ease. She made me feel not just beautiful, but confident, calm, and radiant—exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. Audra has such a warm, kind, and professional approach, and it immediately put me at ease during what can be such a hectic morning.
    Audra and her amazing team went above and beyond to make sure every single person in my bridal party felt incredible. They listened to everyone’s preferences, worked with different skin tones and styles, and made sure each bridesmaid looked and felt her absolute best. The hair was absolutely incredible—every single girl’s hair was perfect and stayed flawless all night. And the makeup? It stayed ALL NIGHT—absolutely perfect from start to finish!
    Audra also made my mom feel absolutely stunning. As someone with a nervous mama when it comes to hair and makeup, seeing her thrilled with how it turned out meant the world to me. Guests were constantly commenting on how beautiful everyone looked, and even those who usually dislike bridesmaid makeup or hair were raving about it. It truly exceeded all of our expectations.
    The attention to detail, the care, and the genuine passion Audra brings to her work is unmatched. She didn’t just do makeup and hair—she helped create confidence, joy, and an unforgettable experience that added so much to our wedding day. I will forever be grateful for her artistry, professionalism, and the kindness she showed all of us. Audra and Desert Bridal Company are simply the best, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Best bridal hair and make up artist EVER

    I had the most incredible experience with Audra and Kenzie from Desert Bridal Company! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They truly are the best in the business! My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed perfect throughout the entire night, even in the +90-degree heat on my wedding day. I was absolutely blown away by how everything held up!

    Not only did I feel like a total bride, but my entire bridal party — including my mom and mother-in-law — were beyond thrilled with how they looked. Every single person felt stunning, and we all had such a fun, relaxing experience. Audra and Kenzie made the process seamless, and they really know how to bring out the best in everyone.

    If you want to feel like a queen on your big day, I highly recommend Desert Bridal Company for all your hair and makeup needs. They exceeded all expectations and made me and my loved ones feel so beautiful!!

    I felt like a whimsical fairy

    Audra and her team are truly amazing at what they do! I had known that I wanted to hire Desert Bridal, because I had seen two of my friends hire them for their weddings and I had taken part in their services as a bridesmaid. I have never felt as beautiful as I have on my wedding day. I told Audra that I wanted to look like myself but refined and she delivered that and beyond! My makeup was stunning and my hair was gorgeous, she knocked it out of the park! Audra's assistant, Kenzie, was also so wonderful and took her time with my girls and they looked beautiful. When hiring these ladies for your special day, you not only are hiring the best hair and makeup professionals, you are also getting to hang out and relax and it feels like you are just with your friends.

    Beautiful, flawless, long lasting looks

    Audra and her team of makeup and hair artists did such a beautiful job for mine and my large bridal parties hair and makeup. Total 15 of us got our hair and makeup done and each of the stylists took their time and had plenty of time to finish! I have never been a part of a wedding where everyone’s hair and makeup looked flawless, not to mention starting the day at 6 am with everyone still looking stunning at 11 pm. Audra was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and was so easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this team for a seamless, beautiful hair and makeup experience! Picture from the end of the night attached as well as a few pics from my trial!

    Great experience

    Communication with Audra made booking a smooth process, and Jasmine did a great job with makeup for my bridal party and was super kind to work with! She made sure to take notes during the trial of what we did so we could perfect a natural look on the big day.

    Looked like me but WAY BETTER

    I wanted to look and feel like a princess and this team did not disappoint! A team of 5 arrived on time to make sure 10 of us all looked our best on my wedding day. I had some extensions I wanted put in and styled, wasn't a problem for Amanda at all! I missed my trial appointment and the owner was very gracious and understanding. I wasn't emotional about my wedding until I saw how incredible I looked after hair and makeup. The moms, all my bridal party got the royal treatment. This plus size old woman looked like a Disney princess bride!!!! HIRE THEM NOW. DO IT.

    So many compliments

    Audra was amazing! When we did the bridal trial I immediately fell in love with the way my make up looked. It was full coverage but did not feel heavy at all. I received so many compliments. At the end of the night with dancing and running around my make up still looked flawless. I did not want to wash it off at the end of the night. She was very punctual and we did not feel rushed. Thank you so much Audra for making my special day perfect. I would recommend her for any special events.

    Amazing, perfect, beautiful

    This team did such an amazing job on our hair and makeup! I was nervous about everyone’s looks holding up from 9am when we started getting ready until after the wedding ceremony at 5 and everyone looked perfect all day! Audra is fantastic and easy to talk with to answer all questions I had, and Loyss did such a great job working with me to tweak things with my bridal look from the trial to the wedding day, and Kenzie did great helping Audra get my girls ready. They were fast, efficient, and everyone looked amazing!

    Ultra professional and amazingly talented

    If you’re looking for someone who take your inspiration photos and bring them to life then you’ve found her. I was blown away with how precise my makeup was to the look I wanted, I didn’t even think that possible because the photo I gave Audra had been edited, but my gosh she did incredible! On the day of my wedding Audra and her team worked on 6 bridesmaids, two moms, and myself and was able to make everyone look absolutely amazing. Everyone was so pleased with their hair and makeup. She went above and beyond what I had even imagined.

    Highly Recommend

    Audra fit me in last minute to do my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and I was seriously blown away! The airbrush makeup is 10000% worth the upgrade!

    Audra and her team did amazing with hair and makeup for my wedding day! Everyone raved about their hair and makeup and said it was the best they have ever gotten done as bridesmaids. I would use them for any future event!

    Hair&makeup team

    We absolutely loved our experience with Audra and her team! Booking was super easy and honestly the pricing was really great compared to the market! All the ladies made my wedding day a breeze. They were fun and allowed my girls to feel comfortable giving any feedback (which is not always the case!) We would definitely recommend Desert Bridal!

    Experienced, Friendly, Efficient

    Desert Bridal Company was one of the smoothest running parts of my wedding day. Audra and her team were on time, set up quickly, and worked with each other to accomplish H&MU for my bridal party of 6, my mom, and myself. We had many different skin tones and each of us felt confident with our finished looks!
    My bridal H&MU trial went smoothly as well. Desert Bridal spent the time to make sure I liked every shade of makeup for my special day. Their hair stylist is licensed and was able to trim my hair to achieve my desired wedding day look!
    Can't recommend these ladies enough!

    Awful communication

    Details below, but communications with the owner were awful.

    My assigned hair & makeup artist for my wedding trial and wedding day was Whitney and she was AMAZING! We absolutely loved her and her work was spectacular.

    The struggle I had with this company was with the business owner, Audra. She communicated very very quickly when I first inquired and she sent me my contract to sign immediately. After my deposit was paid, the communication was awful. I reached out to her via email regarding booking my trial for about a week straight with no response, and when I finally heard back she told me she would reach out to schedule my trial once it was closer (this was 8 weeks before the allotted trial window started which was fine). But I literally had to reach out again within the 3 months before my wedding to try and book my trial around all of the other vendor appointments I had going on. The day after my trial I emailed Audra photos of wear, what I wanted to change, and questions like - is skin prep included, do I get a touch up kit, etc. and NEVER got a response. I had to text my artist Whitney the week before my wedding to ask if I could buy my own setting spray because I was worried about the wear time on trial day. And Whitney promptly responded and helped me. Aside from that, I got a text ON my wedding day from Audra to make my final payment before the artist left otherwise I was getting charged late fees. Audra made me feel like a literal number and dollar sign. She’s lucky Whitney was so kind otherwise I definitely would’ve backed out of that contract due to all of the red flags and lack of communication. And she didn’t even sign/complete my contract until 11pm the night before my wedding. So honestly you may get a good experience if Audra herself is the artist, but if you’re a low budget bride scheduling the minimum number of services, be prepared to be ignored.

    Sadly disappointing and disheartening communication with owner, Audra.

    I am deeply saddened to leave this review. I chose Desert Bridal for my wedding hair and makeup services based on the glowing reviews of Audra, but my experience with her was incredibly disappointing. From the moment I signed my contract, things took a sharp turn for the worse.

    Audra was quick to respond and take my deposit when I first inquired about booking hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. However, after that initial contact, communication completely stopped.

    Over the next four months, I made multiple attempts to reach Audra via email, phone, text, and even Instagram messages — not only to add another service to my package but also to inform her of my address change for day-of services. Despite my efforts, I received no response whatsoever. At that point, I was left in a state of panic, fearing I had been scammed, especially after already paying nearly $1,000 for services I had not received. To make matters worse, Audra was posting regularly on social media about other brides, which only made me feel more ignored and dismissed.

    It wasn’t until my mother stepped in and left a voicemail expressing her concerns that Audra finally responded — after almost five months of silence. Within 60 seconds of the voicemail, I received a text back. As another bride mentioned in her review, it was painfully clear that unless you’re paying extra for Audra to personally do your hair and makeup, she does not prioritize her clients.

    Thankfully, Tanya stepped in to handle both my trial and day-of services, and she was absolutely incredible. Tanya was professional, responsive, kind, and made the entire experience nothing less than amazing for me and my bridesmaids she worked on. She was everything I had hoped for from the beginning and restored my faith in the process. I am very sad to leave my first one star review ever with a company, since I do not want it to hinder the success or bookings of the other amazing ladies who helped with hair and makeup on my wedding day, I just do not believe Audra should ever treat any clients the way I was treated.

    In conclusion, I am extremely saddened and appalled by the complete lack of professionalism and service from Audra. I strongly advise other brides to think carefully before trusting Desert Bridal with such a crucial part of their wedding day.
