    I cannot recommend mu8 bridal beauty enough!

    Patrice and her team of bridal beauty experts are not only amazing at their work but also so fun and provide THE best vibe on your trial and wedding day. It makes such a difference to have a team that is so positive, uplifting, and makes you laugh through the nerves on the big day. I am obsessed with my makeup (by Patrice) and hair (by Yuliia) and all my bridesmaids loved their looks as well! They were able to cater to a range of natural to soft glam makeup for my bridesmaids with ease and nailed all the hairstyles that my girls wanted. Now that we are post-wedding I am sad because I loved hanging out with Patrice and her team so much! Thank you MU8 team for my gorgeous glam on the best day of my life!!

    Outstanding!

    I wholeheartedly recommend MU8 for hair and makeup for your wedding!! I also did the facial package leading up to my big day and my skin has never looked so flawless. Patrice is such an awesome person, she makes you feel right at home right off the bat and will be your biggest cheerleader!! Women uplifting women!! My girls and I looked so breathtaking on my husband and my wedding day. On the day of, I initially did not feel that my makeup compared to my trial and my makeup artist Madison made sure she fixed it and I felt my most beautiful! I could not have asked for a better team (Madison for makeup and Bridget for hair) and you could not ask for a better group of women to take care of you on your big day!

    My only advice would be to possibly ask them for a larger amount of lipstick for the makeup rescue kit because the amount you receive is very small to cover the whole lip more than once so I rationed it out and ended up without lip color in most of my photos. Still looked beautiful though! I honestly would have bought the lip color from them if they had had it available!! I may just have to reach out and ask them so I can buy it myself! Most of these photos are from my trial day because I don't have most of my wedding photos back yet.

    A vendor hit!!

    MU8 not only met my expectations, they far surpassed and exceeded them! Yes, the hair and makeup on myself and my bridesmaids, my mom, and mom in law was incredible, but I think what makes Madison, Yuliia, and Patrice extra special is how they carry themselves and set the tone for the day. They all arrived early, set up and finished ahead of schedule. Their demeanors eased us all into the day and started the day off on the right foot. They made us all feel calm and relaxed at the start of the day and had us laughing the whole time! This enabled me to carry that calm and lightheartedness throughout the day, by making the first part of it go flawlessly. I have never felt more beautiful and judging by my friends’ reactions, I could say the same for them. I also appreciate that the team was able to work on diverse hair textures and skin textures and colors. Everyone looked amazing! Finally, I appreciate that any feedback I gave after the trial and adjustments my bridesmaids wanted to make were quickly acknowledged and adjusted so that everyone could feel their best and like themselves. Thank you for an incredible day!

    Patrice and the MU8 team were absolute dreams to work with!! From initial reach out to the wedding day Patrice was on top of everything and so helpful! Her and her team brought immaculate VIBES to our getting ready time in the morning which put us all on a high going into the ceremony! I cannot recommend Patrice and the MU8 team enough!!

    Amazing from start to finish!

    Patrice and her team were amazing from the day I booked up until my wedding day. Patrice was amazing with communication and helped answer any questions I had. On my wedding day Yulia and Frankie did BEAUTIFUL work, all everyone talked about my wedding night was my hair and makeup. The MU8 team helped me and my girls feel the most beautiful we have ever felt before!

    The BEST hair and makeup team

    Cannot say enough good things about MU8! We are two brides and felt overwhelmed with how many people in the wedding party were going to need their hair and makeup done. During the consultation call with Patrice she immediately calmed my anxieties and assured me we wouldn’t have to start at 5am. It felt like we clicked right away and we booked with Patrice immediately after talking to her. She was professional but also really genuine and upbeat. At our trial we both had our makeup done by Frankie and I had my hair done by Patrice. We honestly had so much fun and it felt like we were just hanging out. We both felt so pretty when we left. On the wedding day we worked with Patrice, Frankie, Sarah, Yuliia, and Colleen. Everyone was so fun to be around, all the girls loved their hair and makeup, and everyone still looked flawless at the end of the night. I did tell Patrice that it seemed too good to be true that they have so many 5 star ratings, but now that we have worked with them I get it. Seriously can’t recommend Patrice and her team enough. If you are considering MU8 do yourself a favor and work with them!

    Patrice executed my vision FLAWLESSLY

    Seeing Patrice first thing on wedding day immediately put me at ease - from helping us configure the getting ready space to wedding pep talks, I’m so glad she was a part of our day! Her crew of two makeup artists and two hair stylists showed up early, with great energy. I really appreciated how Patrice was so communicative throughout the process. I was nervous finding a MUA for my wedding party because my girls represent a diverse group of skin tones, skin textures, hair types, and styles. Patrice was only person I found where I felt like I could trust her to make all of my girls feel their best. I opted to do a trial run with my natural culrs and I’m so glad I did! My MIL followed me around with her camera phone all day when she saw my trial makeup, and I was also able to communicate some changes I wanted in eye shadow color and curl pattern, which Patrice executed FLAWLESSLY on wedding day. My makeup stayed put all day, and my curls even looked ready to go the following morning for post-wedding festivities. I would highly recommend Patrice and MU8 in general!

    MU8 Bridal Beauty's reply:

    Hi Paige! Thank you so much for your kind words! I miss you and your curls and your crew already! Thank you for being amazing to work with! People like you remind us why we continue to do what we do. I will forever be grateful :)

    Amazing work & amazing people!

    I'm so glad I worked with MU8 for my wedding! Patrice, Yuliia, and Madison did excellent work with our hair and makeup across a range of skin tones and hair types. My makeup held up in the August heat through lots of dancing and happy tears. Patrice is a wonderful person, and she brought the best vibes to our getting-ready room. I also saw Patrice for facials leading up to the wedding. She customized each one to my needs, offered skincare advice, and made me feel welcomed and at ease. Look no further for wedding beauty needs - MU8 is the best!

    Patrice and Frankie were absolutely amazing on our wedding day! They had the perfect upbeat energy for me and my bridesmaids as we got ready and made everyone feel so beautiful. It was truly a wonderful experience.

    Simply the Best

    I cannot thank Patrice and her team enough for an incredible job in transforming my I Do Crew and I into straight goddesses. We had a diverse range of ages, skin textures and tones to contend with, but Patrice and Sarah did an exceptional job getting to know everyone's preferences and vision for their look. My mother-in-law, a tough banana who typically wears little to no makeup and speaks no English, was so pleased with Sarah's work she asked that I translate how much she loved it. There are seemingly endless options when it comes to bridal makeup. I've had bridal makeup done before as a bridesmaid and can honestly say there is no other artist who has made me feel as comfortable in my own skin as Patrice and her team have. They are the first people you see in the morning and set the tone for the day. I could not be more grateful to have had them as part of my special day. Thank you!

    Great Experience!

    Patrice, Frankie and Genessa did an amazing job helping me and my entourage get ready for our big day! Patrice was super wonderful and responsive in the lead-up to the wedding and made organizing the details very easy, from the hair/makeup trial a couple of months beforehand (recommended) to the morning itself, despite the numerous changes and general chaos that comes with any big event. My entourage was large and very diverse, but everyone was loved how their makeup turned out. I loved my bridal hair and makeup and haven't felt that glamorous in well, ever. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful from start to finish

    I can't say enough great things about Patrice and her team. They are all wonderful women and made everyone look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. My hair and makeup lasted all day and all night. They are so fun and relaxed and we never felt rushed. My bridesmaids all loved their hair and make up also!

    The BEST Hair & Makeup Team

    From the minute I had my consultation call with Patrice, I knew MU8 was the perfect fit for our wedding day! No one tells you how important your hair & makeup team is to setting the vibe for your wedding day, but choosing MU8 was the best decision I could have made. My bridal party all had amazing experiences with Lianny, Lauren, Sophia, & Kristen, and we felt so beautiful all day. They are all SO talented and also brought such positive energy to a very early morning. Patrice & the MU8 team are the BEST and I cannot recommend them enough!

    The Best You will ever get!

    I can’t say enough about Patrice. Everyone needs a Patrice in their life (or at least on their wedding day). Patrice made the time leading up to my wedding amazing, and make the wedding day a magical experience. Her energy lit up the whole room and had everyone laughing and bonding with one another. She took her time with everyone, and even when I was running behind, stayed upbeat and positive with us all. Patrice worked with a multi-generational and multicultural group for my wedding party. Patrice also has a salon in Philly, and provides amazing facials and waxing services leading up the my wedding day. Patrice has great connections and recommendations with other wedding vendors too. I would recommend Patrice to everyone for her knowledge on all skin types and skin tones, her positivity, and her professionalism in working with brides and other vendors.

    Patrice goes above & beyond!

    I am so happy I selected MU8 Bridal Beauty. Patrice made the entire process seamless and fun. From the makeup trial leading up to the wedding, Patrice was happy to answer every question I had, and even worked with me when I had a last minute addition to my bridal party. I'm not one for being to glammed up and wanted my wedding makeup to look as natural as possible. Patrice did not disappoint and I couldn't of been happier with how me and my ladies turned out. I really appreciated how above and beyond Patrice went. She not only works with you on your makeup look but works with you on your overall skincare routine to ensure beautiful skin beyond makeup. I also love that she leaves you with some goodies (the cookies were delicious) and necessities to make sure you look beautiful throughout the day. If you are looking for a makeup artist that truly cares about you then MU8 Bridal Beauty is your choice!

    Look no further for your wedding hair and makeup vendor

    MU8 is it! I can't speak highly enough of Patrice and her team of consummate artists, including the rock stars who were part of my day: Geidy, Erica, Randi, and Ariana.

    I felt beautiful -- yet completely like myself -- in the expert airbrush look Patrice created for me. Ditto about my hair by Erica, who shaped my somewhat ill-conceived initial vision into a stunning final look complete with the longest-lasting curls ever.

    My bridal party was just as enthusiastic. It's been six weeks since my wedding, and bridesmaids are STILL reaching out to gush about how pretty they felt and how they've never had better hair or makeup services (and these girls have been in quite a few weddings). Even more meaningfully, my mom, who had a lot of anxiety going in about how her super curly hair would look styled, came away from Randi's chair absolutely thrilled (and looking incredible). 

    Speaking technically, all our looks not only came out beautifully, but also held up impressively against a full day of tears, sweat, and face-splitting smiles, plus some exposure to "good-luck" rain drizzle. 

    Speaking from the heart, Patrice is a warm, vibrant person who puts you at ease from the moment you contact her (seriously, she chatted with me for a full half hour before I booked to patiently answer each one of my 80 billion questions), through her signature five-star trial experience (which includes a mini facial, bubbly, and a thoughtful interview on what will make you feel your best), and up until the very last moment of your service on the big day. And she clearly attracts the same from her team members, who all chatted with us like old friends while knocking out look after gorgeous look -- and wrapping ahead of schedule.

    Just trust me on this -- book the MU8 crew!

    Your wedding and everything

    Beauty needs in Philly? Look no further. Patrice and her team are flawless.
    I decided to get a facial a few months before my wedding to get to know Patrice a little bit. We instantly clicked. Patrice’s presence is the perfect mixture of calm, patient, professional, and energetic. I instantly felt assured that she would be an incredible addition to my wedding day. Patrice worked with me for about 6 months leading up to the day offering beauty tips and guidance. I booked several skin prep sessions with her and felt so good on wedding day! Patrice and her team are so much more than hair and makeup professionals. They go above and beyond and become friends along the way. I will 10000% continue using Patrice for routine beauty maintenance and any future event needs.

    Patrice was very professional, a great communicator, and a fantastic makeup artist. She’s also incredibly nice and fun!

    Patrice made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. She was extremely professional, communicative, asked all the right questions (ones I never would have thought of!), and was an amazing listener. She took feedback from our conversations and the makeup trial and executed the exact vision that I had hoped for; I couldn’t have asked for a better bridal hair & makeup experience. Based on previous experiences with having my makeup professionally done in the past, I was worried about complexion matching for my skin tone and application of eye makeup for my eye shape, but Patrice put those fears to rest. On my wedding day she provided a calming presence and positive attitude, which is exactly what I needed, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

    Absolutley amazing!

    If you are considering booking MU8 for your wedding or special event, DO IT!! MU8 by Patrice was the most incredible vendor and I cannot say enough about how amazing of a person Patrice is! The makeup for all of my bridal party (9 individuals total) looked stunning and the makeup stayed on all day long! Patrice and her team arrived before their scheduled start time to get everything setup and to welcome my bridal party into the room for all of the fun! I cannot thank Patrice and her team enough for making the day so special, for making the ladies look gorgeous from 7:30 AM - 2:00 AM (almost a full day with full face coverage) and for making the service experience feel like a friend versus a vendor.

    When I was searching for a perfect Makeup Artist, I wanted someone that I would get along with, someone I would trust to do an amazing job with my family and friends makeup and someone who I knew had my best interest and my bridal party's best interest in mind the morning of. Patrice is hands down the best person to book with as she hit all three of those expectations and MORE! Patrice made myself and my mom (my makeup trial buddy) feel so welcomed and confident about my makeup selection for the wedding. Every interaction leading up to the wedding with Patrice was like talking with a longtime friend who was so enthusiastic to be a part of the special day with me and my family and friends. Patrice gives advice on all things wedding throughout the process, thinking about the color scheme, the venue, the dresses, etc. to make sure the makeup perfectly matches the overall vision. Last piece of commentary: BOOK WITH PATRICE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SHE GETS BOOKED UP!!

    Patrice's work is flawless!

    Patrice was a true gem to work with from day one. If I could do it all over again with her, I would and will. She listens to what your views and dreams are and uses her magic hands to give you everything you wanted. She's funny, bubbly and truly loves and cares about what she does. She made the morning on the day of feel stress free and honestly made me feel and look so beautiful for my special day. I highly recommend her!

    Wedding 9/10/21

    Patrice did my makeup for my wedding and also my mother and maid of honors. She was very professional and easy to work with. She was very flexible throughout the process and able to get me in for two trials before my big day. Everyone looked gorgeous and our makeup lasted throughout the evening. If you’re looking for a makeup artist, look no further…Patrice is your girl!
