    Thick hair tamed to glam for beach wedding!

    Michelle made my bridal hair dreams come true. From our trial, she was incredibly kind and hands on. It’s also worth noting that I am a bride that works in the wedding buisness for over a decade and commuting from NYC.

    For my wedding day, my hair was BREATHTAKINGLY STUNNING. It also held up for my beach ceremony in 92 degree weather. She defined my natural curls and gave me a Disney’s Belle inspired hairstyle.

    She also styled 4 other family members to perfection.

    Michelle is absolutely fantastic, and quick!
    5 shinning stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Book her! ❤️

    Michelle is AMAZING!!

    Michelle at Elegant Brides is a dream to work with. She is so talented and made my wedding look come to life with expert hair and makeup. My mom, mother-in-law, maid of honor, and officiant also had our hair and makeup done by Michelle, and everyone loved how they looked, and all looked the best they ever have. Thank you so much, Michelle!!!

    Elegant Brides Hair and Makeup's reply:

    Sara! I truly enjoyed getting to know your friends and family while “working”. Hearing everyone’s stories really did make the time go by quickly. Thank you for trusting me to give you your special wedding look!

    Amazing!! Wonderful experience

    Michelle is the best! She was recommended to me by Tide The Knot Beach Weddings and she was very prompt responding and so flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to it being cancelled because of the hurricane. My sister and law and I had so much fun chatting with her while she got us ready and we LOVED our hair and makeup!

    Lovely experience!

    We came to Florida for a beach vow renewal and hired Michelle to do my hair and make-up. I was extremely pleased with her! She was professional, on time, easy to talk to, and worked with my personal preferences. She created a wonderful experience. My make-up and long hair looked perfect for our beach ceremony! I would highly recommend Michelle!

    Elegant Brides Hair and Makeup's reply:

    It was a pleasure meeting you and being a part of your vow renewal! I enjoyed getting to hear your story amd sharing similar stories. Thank you for the delicious food too!🥰

    Michelle is so lovely!

    Michelle took my 1920s glam to the next level! She was incredibly sweet and lovely even coming all the way down to Pass-A-Grille beach at 7 (!!) AM on a Monday to ensure my female family members and myself look as fabulous as possible.

    I look at the photos and I cannot believe how beautiful she helped me look. It's me, but it's the absolute best version of me which is more than what anyone could ever want for their wedding. The birdcage veil, the hollywood waves. She nailed every single aspect of my look.

    I had a small wedding so instead of a wedding party I had Michelle take care of my mother and sisters and I cannot thank her enough for making them feel as beautiful as they are. My mom was very pleased with how her hair looked and one sister we describe her hair as "being finer than frog's hair". Healthy, but so fine textured there's not much anyone has been able to do with it. Michelle was able to work magic and style them so they looked so lovely.

    Thank you Michelle for being available and helping us all!

    Elegant Brides (Michelle Balderas)

    Michelle Balderas is fantastic, sweet, and so talented. She was very easy to work with and made our wedding hair and makeup look amazing. I got married on the beach on 6/14/21, and absolutely loved my hair. I have also never had anyone match my complexion perfectly with makeup like she did. I’ve gotten so many compliments on our pics. Michelle is fabulous!

    Elegant Brides Hair and Makeup's reply:

    I had so much fun being around you and your family…you made me feel like I was at home! Thank you so much for choosing Elegant Brides:)

    Fabulous Experience!

    Michelle did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and makeup for my beach ceremony! She came right to my resort room and made me look beautiful! She is very professional, super nice, and very accommodating. Her prices were very reasonable and false lashes were included in the bride's makeup. She is very talented and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married in the area!

    Wonderful Experience, stress free

    Michelle did such a great job on my hair and makeup. What I wanted was simple and elegant, and that's exactly what she gave me. She did a great job communicating with me in the weeks, days, and hours up leading up to my wedding day. She conveniently came to my hotel to do my hair and was so easy to talk to and a very sweet person. It was very easy explaining to her what I wanted and she was able to give me exactly what I asked for and didn't overdo it. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

    Loved her!

    Finding and messaging makeup artists was one of the most stressful things about planning my wedding, but just save yourself the trouble and contact Michelle because she is the best.

    She is very professional and prompt in her replies and I’ve already recommended her to two of my friends. She is a fantastic makeup artist and hair stylist. She has a very gentle touch and a great personality, so getting worked on by her was very comfortable and nice. She puts you at ease and makes you look beautiful. Wonderful experience with her for both my engagement and wedding hair and makeup.

    I don’t usually write reviews because I’m pretty shy but I really liked her a lot and I know others will too.

    Elegant Brides Hair and Makeup's reply:

    Thank you for such kind words! Being a part of your wedding day was very relaxing…thanks to your friends and family. I appreciate your referrals too!

    Amazing people and amazing work!

    I, a COVID bride, was in a pinch to find someone to do hair and make up for myself, bridesmaids, and moms for our October beach wedding. Michelle's company was recommended through our wedding coordinators as a preferred vendor. I reached out to several companies to get quotes, Michelle was the first to respond and had a straight forward list of pricing and what all she offered. We finalized things, signed a contract, sent a down payment, and were ready to go for October. We had a big enough group that there were 3 ladies needed to get all of us done in time for the wedding. Michelle, Kayla, and Amber were AMAZING!! My choice of bridesmaids had a wide variety of personalities and craziness and they were so patient with us! They were fun and hopefully enjoyed our antics while doing our Pinterest inspired hair and make up. We showed them pictures and they did exactly that! They are great at their work and great women in general! I will recommend them to anyone doing a beach wedding in the St. Pete area!

    Airbrushed to perfection

    Married at 10 AM on a beach until dinner at sunset - FLAWLESS. I didn't have to touch up hair or makeup once all day. I even napped like a geisha in between!

    Nothing short of amazing

    Michelle did a wonderful job! I gave her a very vague description of what I wanted my hair and make up to look like: hair pulled out of my face and natural make up. Within an hour she transformed me into a Malibu Barbie! I felt absolutely stunning. She made me feel comfortable in my hotel room where I got ready for my wedding. She was super flexible with the set up, having very limited space using a dresser top and a futon to arrange her necessities. We chatted about our walks of life and what brought us to Clearwater Beach.
    Lastly, I’m a nurse and having dealt with Covid from the very beginning of the pandemic, sanitation was a huge issue for me. She assured me that she used disposable items as much as possible and everything else was completely sanitized.
    Michelle rocked it! I would recommend Elegant Brides Hair and Make up to anyone!!!!
