Galya was absolutely fantastic for my wedding day. Not only is Galya extremely talented, she is also professional and prompt. All of my guests were swooning over my makeup! Additionally, my makeup remained in place throughout the Charleston heat and humidity. Please look no further if you need your makeup done for any occasion. Galya is of the celebrity caliber. I would contend that she is better than celebrity grade makeup services. Galya, you are ELITE. -

I truly cannot say enough good things about Galya and her team. I worked with Kim and Amy for hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish.
I honestly can’t even conjure the words to describe how amazing they are. They have such a gift, and I feel so lucky I got to experience it firsthand.
I honestly couldn’t get over how good I looked - they absolutely nailed the glam. But beyond the flawless execution, they were such a joy to work with. They made me feel so comfortable and brought such a fun, easy energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more special.
I only wish I lived in CHS so I could book them again and again. Could not recommend them more.

Erin Sent on 12/17/2025Loved my Bridal Makeup and Hair by Galya and her Team!
I hired Galya and her team for my wedding hair and makeup, and I’m so glad I did. My hair and makeup were incredibly important to me because I wanted to feel like a princess on my wedding day. I don’t wear makeup every day, and when I do, I usually keep it very minimal, but after finding Galya, I knew she could deliver exactly what I was looking for. Her talent truly speaks for itself, and her Instagram instantly gave me confidence in her work.
I also read countless reviews from other brides saying their makeup held up through crying, wind, sweating, and kissing, which made me feel even more confident booking her, along with Maddy for hair. During my bridal trial, I thought I was set on what I wanted and Galya and Maddy delivered it perfectly. As the wedding got closer, I realized I wanted to make a few small tweaks, and they were more than happy to adjust.
On the wedding day, they absolutely overdelivered. My hair and makeup were everything I wanted and more. I received so many compliments, and I even had a friend ask who I booked because she said it was the best wedding makeup she had ever seen.
If you’re looking for a wedding hair and makeup team, I can’t recommend Galya and her team enough. They are truly the best in the business, and I will forever be grateful to them for making me feel my prettiest on the most special day of my life. 💕 -

Galya is truly the BEST of the best. I don’t think my face will ever look as good as it did on my wedding day, and it’s all thanks to her talent. She made me feel absolutely radiant, confident, and beautiful from the moment she started. Beyond her incredible artistry, she is so easy to talk to, funny, and instantly put me at ease on a day that could have been stressful. She has such a calm, joyful energy that made the whole getting-ready process fun and relaxing.
I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do my makeup for such an important day. If you’re a bride looking for someone who will not only make you look flawless but also make you feel comfortable and cared for, Galya is it. I will recommend her a million times over—she is truly amazing! -

I cannot say enough amazing things about Galya and her team! From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Galya has such a fun yet calm personality that made the whole experience so enjoyable—I was able to relax and not stress at all about how my makeup would turn out. And it turned out perfectly! I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day, truly like the best version of myself. My makeup looked just as flawless at the end of the night as it did at the beginning, even after hours of dancing and celebrating. All of my bridesmaids loved how theirs turned out—one even said, “We have never looked this good!” If you want to look and feel your absolute best, don’t hesitate to book Galya. She is worth every single penny! -

Highly recommend!!
Alejandra and Catherine were absolutely amazing! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calming and positive energy to the room. They stayed on schedule, which helped ease my nerves, and made the whole getting-ready process so enjoyable. My makeup looked flawless and lasted the entire night, and my hair was exactly what I envisioned—Alejandra was able to look at my inspiration photos and recreate the style perfectly.

Galya and her team are absolutely incredible! From the moment my wedding planner recommended her, I knew I was in the best hands. I wanted full glam, and she delivered beyond my expectations—making everyone look flawless. Without a doubt, booking her was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.
Galya is truly talented; she knows exactly how to enhance your best features while making sure you still feel like you. My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had imagined, and I felt so confident and beautiful all day.
Beyond their amazing skills, Galya and Shelby brought such a fun, bubbly energy to our morning. They made the getting-ready process so enjoyable, ensuring everyone was comfortable and happy with their look. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to kick off the best day of my life! -

Jordan Sent on 10/23/2024Book if you're looking for queen treatment on your wedding day!
I found Galya through Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. If you view her posts and stories you will find that she is very passionate about her craft and transparent with how her services operate. Her pricing seemed fair and I was able to pay upfront without any surprises later on. Her team showed up and spent hours pampering me and my bridesmaids on my big day. I was able to meet her earlier for my bridal trial and she made me feel extremely comfortable, checking in throughout to ensure that I liked the way I looked. If you are looking to walk down the aisle feeling like a queen book with them! -

Look no further! Galya and her team are INCREDIBLE. Galya is so wonderful to work with. She is so patient, hilarious, open to feedback and incredibly talented. On her team is Gabby, who does an amazing job with hair styling. Between the two of them you are in the BEST hands.

I cant recommend Galya and her team enough!!!!! Her team to begin with is so sweet and truly make you feel special from start to finish. From the first day I reached out Galya she was so responsive and organized which made a very stressed bride super relaxed when it came to the hair and makeup. Not to mention her whole team are the absolute best artists. They made my party of 10 feel so beautiful. I received so many comments that I looked breathtaking and it goes all to Galya's team. So please if you are considering a hair and makeup team for your wedding or any special event hire Galya and her team!!!!!!! -

Arrington Sent on 04/02/2024The BEST Makeup Artist in Charleston. Hands Down.
I cannot recommend Galya Makeup Artistry enough! Galya is an incredibly talented makeup artist who worked wonders for my wedding day.
As someone who does makeup content creation on TikTok and I have dealt with many makeup artist, Galya is the most talented artist to ever do my makeup. If you are wanting "Full Glam" or "Soft Glam" this is the place to go.
Galya is BY FAR the best makeup artist in Charleston. If you book with her, you will be in great hands and she will work with you to accomplish your bridal makeup goals. She also did my bridal party and they all looked AMAZING.
I also had the pleasure of having Shelby Lace do my hair and my bridesmaids hair. She is also extremely talented and will make sure your hair is perfect.
Overall, if you book with Gayla you will SLAY your wedding day and your hair and makeup will be perfect!

Andrea Sent on 01/28/2024Run, Don't Walk, to Book with Galya!
I don't have enough words to gush about how much I love Galya & her team and how talented they truly are. I was recommended to Galya by wedding planner after she discovered my love for makeup & full glam. Immediately reviewing Galya's Instagram I knew I had to reach out & see if she was available because her work was exactly how I wanted myself to look day of. Not only is Galya extremely talented in all levels of glam (natural, mature skin, soft glam, full glam) but she is so sweet and funny to be around. I completed my bridal preview the same day as my engagement photos and Galya took the inspo I found off her Instagram + celebrity inspo & completely nailed my look. I was obsessed & couldn't wait for my wedding day! I loved it so much that I treated myself to have her do my makeup & hair for rehearsal & I'm so happy I did that - it was the perfect touch to ensure I had a relaxing weekend in Charleston all the way through. My wedding day makeup came out perfect, just like the preview, and we were able to make some tweaks after I decided I wanted a more contoured look - she was so adaptable and makes sure every single person who sits in her chair loves their look. My bridesmaids, mom, and MIL all looked stunning. I've already been bugging my husband we need to find an event to go to ASAP so I can book with Galya again - thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! -

Perfect Glam Makeup
Galya and her team did such an amazing job on hair and makeup for my wedding! Galya and everyone on her team were punctual, professional, and so friendly! I was looking for a specific glam look, which was hard to find in Charleston, and she nailed it on my wedding day! Her application was so smooth and beautiful, I never once felt “cakey” or “to much makeup”. As a bride it was such a relief to go in feeling confident about my hair and makeup bc it’s such a big part that can make it or break it! If you’re looking for glam makeup that will look absolutely flawless in your photos then just do yourself a favor and book Galya! -

Megan Sent on 06/04/2023The Dreamiest Wedding Day Makeup!
If you are a bride who wants to put your complete trust in the MOST effortlessly talented makeup artist in Charleston, then you need to book Galya (if she’s still available, since she’s in high demand as it’s an absolute treat to get to work with her!) I had never felt so beautiful in my entire life, and also knew my makeup would stay looking perfect through the entire day and night. I worked with a different hair artist and Galya was incredibly complimentary to her services, working as a team to pull off the dreamiest bridal look I could ever dream of. Book her, TRUST her, let her work her magic!!!! She’s undoubtedly the best that it gets. -

I couldn't have looked more beautiful on my wedding day along with all girls in the wedding. Galya and her team did an outstanding job. I wish I could have my makeup like that every day, I felt like a true princess. One concern I had was my makeup melting from the super hot summer southern heat, but even at 10pm my makeup still looked amazing. Thank you so much Galya!!💗 -

Galya drove to Wilmington, NC for my wedding and I could not have been happier with her services. She made not only myself, but my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG look incredibly stunning and our makeup lasted all night. Galya is not only professional and on time, but she is also kind and a pleasure to be around. I am so thankful Galya was a part of our special day! -

Tozier wedding
I am so lucky to have found Gayla!! She did all of the makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. She was so easy and communicative to work with up to the big day! She was on time and extremely professional. She arrived and was organized and ready to get to work. I was impressed with how fast she was and after every person got out of her chair I was simply amazed at her work. I tend to be picky when it comes to make up and Galya is the first makeup artist that fully superseded my expectations. I am now thinking of the next event that I can use her for. She made me look AMAZING!!!!!!!!! -

Galya and her team are amazing - I was in awe of Galya’s work online and was so grateful to book her for my bridal makeup (don’t wait, she books fast!). I also love learning from her makeup tutorials and content on social media. Galya made me feel and look like a princess while also retaining my own beauty and highlighting my best features. I also recommend trialing - we made subtle personal preference tweaks on the day of the wedding from the trial (such as add a touch more shimmer) that = perfection. Thank you Galya 💋.
