    Perfect wedding day experience!

    We had a wonderful experience with Mena and her team. I was blown away with my hair and makeup, and my bridal party felt the same way! Her team worked efficiently and stayed ahead of schedule, and we really enjoyed their positive energy throughout the day! I even had a small makeup emergency a few hours after her team left — she was very responsive and accommodating and was able to send over the supplies necessary to fix the problem! I would highly recommend Mena and her team.

    Simply Breathtaking!

    Perfection is an understatement when it comes to describing the talent and dedication of Mena and her team. Hiring Mena Garcia Beauty for your bridal party makeup is a no brainer! Mena is truly such a gem and she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She answered any and all questions I had from the time I booked her through the finishing touches on my wedding day and made this process so fun and easy. Mena ensured that my bridal look was everything I dreamed of and more. She took the time to understand my style and preferences and the results were simply breathtaking. I am so thankful to know her and she made my wedding day so special!

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

    Mena is AMAZING at what she does!

    Mena and her entire team were incredible to work with. As someone who doesn't really wear a lot of makeup normally, it was really important to me to find someone who knew what they were doing and would make me feel confident on our day. She absolutely was so great to work with and made me feel totally comfortable and relaxed. I was blown away after my trial run and knew that I made the right choice. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and it was such a good feeling to know that I wasn't going to have to stress about what I was going to look like. Absolutely the right call to have Mena and her team for our day!

    Made me and my bridesmaids feel like beauty queens!

    Mena and her team were absolutely AMAZING. From the moment I contacted her she was responsive with pricing, figuring out scheduling, doing a trial run of hair and makeup for me, and putting me at ease about getting everything done on time! I had a total of 15 services combined between hair and makeup, and Mena was even able to work AHEAD of schedule to get everyone done before photos began! Her team was super cheery, hilarious, and put all of us at ease despite it being an early start of a stressful day. She uses high quality products that stayed on ALL day despite sweating, dancing, hugging, eating, and drinking, and she was able to recreate exactly what I wanted. My hair and makeup made me feel like an actual bride rather than just a tired stressed out girl!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I have NEVER felt more beautiful than when Mena and her team did my hair and make up on my wedding day. And not just physically-- Mena is exuberant and authentic. She makes you feel so valued as her client even just from the trial appointment. Working with her team made the morning of my wedding so fun and special. I will always recommend Mena Garcia Beauty to every future bride I meet.

    The best decision EVER!

    Mena and her team went above and beyond to ensure myself and my girls felt their absolute best on the day! She knocked it out of the park for my timeless look I was aiming for and I couldn't be happier with how my photos turned out! There are so many amazing things to say about her and her team, they are all so sweet, so professional and you really felt like you could ask for a quick change in the look and they were always willing to do it! So beyond thankful, she was a part of our day! Truly the best decision ever :)

    Stop looking, book MGB now!

    Mena and her team are AMAZING. I cannot say enough good things about them. First of all, she is the sweetest person ever, so laid back and easy to talk to. She is super responsive, caring, and professional. We had a very last minute SNAFU the week leading up to our wedding and she was so understanding and patient with us as we worked through it. She and Ariel made me and my bridal party and family look and feel so beautiful. I did a hair and makeup trial the same day I did bridal portraits, and she checked in with me afterwards to make sure my hair stayed in place and my makeup still looked great. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Even my mom who does not normally wear makeup loved the experience and the look they created for her. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mena!

    Mena is incredible!

    Mena and her team are literally the hair and makeup DREAM TEAM--they are truly the best. Mena did my hair and makeup on my wedding day and I’ve never felt more beautiful. Not only are she and her team incredibly talented, but they’re also so kind and fun.

    They brought the best vibes the morning of the wedding and they were right on schedule—at no point did we feel rushed or stressed. Mena is so professional. She created a timeline for the eight ladies that were getting their hair and makeup done and she was super responsive leading up to the wedding day.

    My Mom and Grandma were somewhat nervous about getting their make-up professionally done as they still wanted to “look themselves,” and they NAILED IT. Everyone was so happy and felt so beautiful. If you want a hair/makeup recommendation, they’ll suggest something beautiful, and if you show them a picture, they’ll ace it. I will forever recommend Mena and her team!

    A true hair and makeup talent...

    Mena and the entire team are absolutely fantastic. Their hair and makeup skills are top notch, and they will make you feel incredible for your wedding or special event. Not only is Mena a true talent with hair and makeup, but she couldn't be any kinder. When you leave her hair and makeup chair, you're sure to feel like best friends. Mena just has a way of connecting with people unlike anyone I've worked with before!

    As a wedding planner, I love working with Mena on styled shoots and real weddings. I always recommend her to my clients! She even did my hair and makeup for a brand shoot, and boy did I feel beautiful!

    Do yourself a favor and go hire Mena and team!

    The absolute best

    When I think back to my wedding one aspect I’m most grateful for are the people who helped make our day perfect. Mena and her staff are a fundamental part of those memories. We hired Mena and her team to do makeup, but they went above and beyond our expectations. As expected, every makeup artist was professional and talented. But they were also attentive, kind, and engaging - the kind of people you’d want to hang out with even though you’ve only just met them. Mena did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and beautiful, and that made the whole wedding-prep process feel like a treat instead of a chore. Plus everybody’s makeup was absolutely flawless. I’ve recommend her to all of my friends as soon as they got engaged. If you want to get the absolute
    most for your money, Mena is the makeup artist for you.

    Phenomenal

    Our wedding had 2 ceremonies - traditional Laotian and American. The Laotian one is high bun with ornaments. I wanted to be able to let my hair down for the American rather than wear the bun for the entire day. Mena truly delivered. Not only was she able to curl my hair and have that set in the bun, she worked quickly and efficiently during my 30 minute transition to American ceremony to let my hair down and style it. I also received numerous compliments on my make up. I put all my trust in her and did not do a trial with my make up. I could not have asked for a better MUA. My lipstick was on until the wee hours of the next morning with just one reapplication at my transition. You won't regret book with Mena! Thank you for making our day so memorable!

    The best choice you can make for your wedding!

    When it comes to choosing a vendor for your hair and makeup, it's so important to choose someone you will enjoy spending several hours with on your wedding day! It's the most important day of your life, so why not spend it with vendors who are sweet, thoughtful and fun?! Mena is truly one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and is such a joy to be around! We had so much fun getting ready together on my wedding day and my bridesmaids absolutely loved her as well! I still have people compliment the hair and makeup from our big day. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her - she is an artist and is so incredible at what she does!

    The best hair and makeup!!!

    Mena was such a highlight of our wedding day and overall wedding experience. She is the sweetest soul, and it was so comforting to know she was the one doing my hair and makeup! She is so talented and is a true expert of her craft. She was extremely patient with me and my indecisiveness and always provided the best recommendations when needed! She knows how to make anyone feel beautiful and natural on their big day!!! If you want to ensure your experience is nothing less than perfect, use Mena and her team!
