    You’ll be pleased!

    Mena went above and beyond to help me after mildly traumatizing and extremely disappointing trial experience with a competitor. With a drive to make things perfect for you, she spent time consulting with me prior to a trial, color matched me for clip-in hair extensions, which she was very honest about the need for to achieve the look o desired, and overall put me at ease for one of the most important physical aspects of my big day. She did a beautiful trial, and incredible work the day off for me as the bride! Her team did a great job on my bridal party as well. My little niece was elated to have glitter added to her flower girl bun, and the team was so kind and patient with everyone. If you are a picky bride, Mena is the woman to work with! She truly takes pride in her craft, and I am very grateful she was available to help prepare me for one of the most important (and highly photographed!) days of my life! Thank you, Mena!

    Absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience!

    I can’t say enough good things about Mena and her team! All of them are phenomenal at their job and are so incredibly kind! They were super timely and we all looked stunning! They are incredibly helpful and understanding, they work with you to make sure you not only look beautiful but you feel beautiful too. They created such an amazing vibe for me and my girls! I can’t recommend them enough!

    Mena is the best!!

    If you want to look so good you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror… book this team!!! Mena did my makeup for engagement photos, boudoir shoot, and of course my wedding. I have never felt more confident and beautiful. If you are searching for an artist, I promise you have found her. Not only does Mena make you feel your absolute best, her team the day of gets straight to work and will make all your bridesmaids and family feel the same! I have been in multiple weddings where the beauty team is unorganized, rushed, or makes you want to wash your hair and face and do it yourself. Her team had a set pre made schedule for each of my girls, listened to their beauty visions, extremely friendly, and even my pickiest bridesmaids were blown away and obsessed with how they looked! Also, due to my venues schedule, we had to get ready at my house and her team brought their own table/chairs and left my house cleaner than it was before they arrived. I can not compliment Mena and her team enough!

    Mena & her team are the best!!! Highly recommend for hair and make up!

    Picking Mena and her team for hair/makeup on my wedding day was the best decision! Mena is the sweetest person, and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She is patient and ensures you love the final look during your trials before the big day. She is very detail oriented, knowledgeable, trustworthy and will stick to the timeline. She made me feel absolutely beautiful, and I am forever grateful! I am already brainstorming for future events so I can ask her to do my hair and makeup again! :)

    Mena and team are the best!!!

    I reached out to Mena about 11 months before my wedding and she responded immediately and took the time to walk me through her process and some of the products. She and her team are extremely organized, kind and fun! Mena and her team took the time to last minute style my now husband’s hair the day of, cover up a black eye and style my mother in law’s wig as she lost her hair to cancer. Mena and the team went above and beyond to make my wedding day magical. I have never felt more beautiful. 10/10 would highly recommend hiring Mena and her team.

    Fantastic team!

    Mena's team was fantastic! I had a large group of bridesmaids and family members getting hair and makeup done. They were flexible and organized and helped us figure out a schedule that worked well. We all loved our hair and makeup styles!!! They were able to create our visions perfectly and were able to help brainstorm what would look the best on each person. Can't recommend them highly enough.

    10/10 Recommend!!!

    BOOK MENA & HER TEAM ASAP! I got married in Wilmington, NC in August 2022, but was living in California at the time while planning the wedding. My venue had sent a list of trusted makeup & hair vendors in the Wilmington area, but I just wasn’t crazy about any of their previous looks they had done and needed someone better. Also, since I was living out of state, I needed flexibility in booking a trial as it would be based on when I visit NC so it was easiest to choose a team that does both hair & makeup. First off, I was extremely impressed with Mena’s professionalism and the whole look of her investment guide pdf. Other artists in Wilmington were just sending me Word docs with prices and outdated stuff and it just wasn’t enticing but WOW I really appreciated Mena’s organization and responsiveness. She was also very accommodating to allow me to reserve two trial dates in case 1 didn’t work out. She gave me peace of mind through the whole process. And then trial & wedding day SHE KILLED IT! I do a decent job at my own hair & makeup so I really wanted a natural glam for my wedding day that would make me still look like me but the best version and that is absolutely what Mena delivered. We also did glam waves that held ALL day & night through rain and humidity - people still ask me to this day how my hair still looked so good at the end of the night. Her team was early in setting up and ready to go, stuck to the timeline really well, and all the other artists did amazing jobs on my bridesmaids and the mothers as well. Mena is also so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect (even helped use a Tide to-go on a small stain that was on my robe lol) and helped calm me down when I was stressed about possible rain on our day. 10/10 recommend trusting Mena and her team for your special occasion!!!

    Fantastic!

    Mena & her team were AWESOME for our special day in August 2022. They were prompt, organized and timely in their services to make sure we stayed on schedule. They made adjustments without hesitation if asked. Mena did a fantastic job for my wedding services and made sure I was happy. She made my mom and myself very feel comfortable when coming to her home studio for the trial and accommodated my needed time due to my work schedule. Would absolutely recommend and am thankful to have had Mena & her team be apart of our special day! Thanks Mena!

    Amazing Team

    Mena and her team were amazing! She was able to make me feel beautiful and glamorous but also like myself. My wedding day with her and her staff of ladies was like hanging out with my group of girlfriends. Everyone was so nice and friendly but also professional and timely. The ladies were able to take my bridesmaids inspo photos and perfectly recreate them. Mena was accommodating and totally willing to make subtle changes I wanted after my trial without question. I totally recommend this lovely group of women for your big day. Thank you Mena!

    Mena is a gem!

    Mena and her team came highly recommended from our wedding planner, Stephanie Shaul Events, for wedding day hair and makeup. The bridal trial with Mena made me feel super confident going into the big day that everything would be perfect - and it was. Mena and her team are so fun, it makes the getting ready portion of the day a blast. I threw a requested color tweak Mena's way the day of and she rolled with it with bells on! Mena Garcia Beauty is a great choice for your big day!

    Mena & her team are FABULOUS!

    I cannot recommend Mena and her team enough! Mena was so wonderful, accommodating and patient with me during my trial. She truly has an eye for all things beauty and helped me decide on the perfect hair and makeup to complement my dress. Her entire team was my biggest hype squad, and also so professional, artistic, creative, and up-to-date on the latest trends and styles. All of my bridesmaids agreed that this was THE best hair/makeup experience ever. 5-stars! Book her! I promise you will not be disappointed! XO

    Hire these girls ASAP!

    Mena is the absolute best at what she does - her style is everything I could have wanted in a HMU artist for my wedding day. She and her girls were easy to work with, timely, professional, and clearly very skilled! They were so organized, had a timeline, and worked in all my bridesmaids styles for a cohesive look. On top of all that, Mena is a wonderful human who cares about how her bride looks and feels on the biggest day of their lives - I couldn't have been more thankful for this group!

    Amazing makeup artist!

    Mena did my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I am so happy I found her because she did such an amazing job! She is so so talented and both the makeup and hair turned out absolutely beautiful and flawless. She asked for a few pictures for inspiration before the big day and she delivered my vision above and beyond. Communication was excellent and she was so helpful with not only my makeup and hair but also with getting into my dress and staging some of the first bridal photos. I was so impressed with her work and would highly recommend her!

    Beautiful Work!

    Mena was an absolute pleasure to work with. Going into the Bride Trial, I was very worried: I have very thin hair that barely holds a curl--no worries though! Mena was able to style my hair in my dream style. and it held throughout the entire wedding day. My makeup was also beautiful and, similarly, stayed fresh throughout the evening. The same goes for my bridesmaids' hair and makeup. We all received so many compliments, both on how well they did and also on how long our hair and makeup lasted. I cannot recommend Mena and her lovely, artistic, friendly team enough. They were all truly wonderful and made my wedding morning both fun and easy.

    Beautiful!

    Such a wonderful experience with Mena!
    I had my hair & makeup done, as well as trials for my wedding. The first time I met her, there was coffee and Taylor Swift music playing! I felt like we were already friends! She is so sweet and attentive. She worked with me until we found the look I was envisioning, and was so accommodating through all the changes.
    Not only is she fun to hang out with, she is so skilled!
    I was so pleased, and felt the most beautiful on my wedding day. Allll the stars given. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely amazing

    Mena was absolutely amazing! She is so kind and bubbly- bringing an absolute wonderful attitude to the day. Her work is outstanding. I am SO happy the way my hair and my bridesmaids hair turned out.

    Mena was able to accommodate our date that was quickly approaching! She made me feel so comfortable and made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. It stayed up the entire night and I got so many compliments! Her trial was also extremely helpful. I would highly recommend her for all your beauty needs!
