Glam, but still me
I had the absolute greatest experience with Stephanie and her team for my wedding! I wanted glam but to still feel like myself, and they did just that. I am over the moon with how I looked, my hair and makeup lasted me all day and through the night, and the girls were just SO MUCH FUN to spend my wedding morning with. I will be using them for any glam needs I may have in the future. Cannot recommend enough!! xoxo -

A dream team!
I had a fabulous experience with the Stephanie Nelson team for my wedding in December 2022. Victoria was a dream to work with on makeup, and Christina on hair - I cannot recommend these ladies enough! The trial was a must, especially if you're indecisive like me. We had time to iron out details and collaborate to find the best look for me. The actual wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. The team worked like a quiet symphony while I enjoyed my family & friends getting to soak up all the minutes of my special day! The cherry on top was finishing a little early which allowed more time for pictures with my girls! -

The best of the best!!
I cannot thank my artists enough (Stephanie and Christiana) for making me feel like an actual model on my wedding day. Hair and makeup was one of the things I was the most nervous about because I don't wear much and have no clue how to do it myself, but this is why you hire the pro's! They were so welcoming to feedback, they executed the inspiration images perfectly, they educated me on why I should maybe try something different (like the lashes - just do it ladies!!), and to top it off they were so incredibly kind. I am beyond grateful I invested in this service, and this team -

The Most Beautiful Bride
Victoria and her assistant did such an incredible job on my bridal hair and makeup as well as the hair and makeup for my mom and sister (maid of honor). She listened to my concerns and made adjustments as needed to create a look that made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever. The hair and makeup lasted all night - even through some happy tears and a LOT of sweat from dancing! - and I got so many compliments from family and friends. Looking at the pictures, I still cannot believe how lovely I looked. You are in the best hands with Stephanie Nelson's artists!! Thank you, Victoria! -

Couldn’t have been happier!
Stephanie and her team were absolutely AMAZING!! Prior to the wedding, they got back to me very quickly with any questions I had and made me feel so comfortable during my trial. The day of the wedding, my girls and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and beautiful! All the HMUA were so easy to work with and made us laugh, making the morning so enjoyable. They were on time and made sure each girl looked exactly how she wanted. I couldn’t have felt more beautiful the day of my wedding! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Stephanie!! -

Could not have felt more special or beautiful
The SN team MADE my wedding day. Stephanie and her team have such extensive experience in the industry, they're like fairy godmothers. You have an idea of what you want to do for hair or makeup and BAM, they bring it to life in the most stunning way possible. Stephanie is so warm and funny, for both my trial and on the wedding day, she and the team kept me in stitches, I had the best time with them getting ready! I have been in a few weddings and am very picky about how my hair and makeup are done, but with Stpehanie and her team, I felt completely at ease. -

Stephanie is the QUEEN
Stephanie and her team were absolutely incredible in getting me and my 11 bridesmaids ready for the big day. They were efficient, listened to what the girls wanted, and made touch-ups for those that needed it.
Stephanie is also queen at handling mothers and mothers-in-law to make sure the day is about YOU! She was part therapist, part make-up artist, part hype girl. Cannot recommend her and her team enough. -

The best girls around!
I could not be more thankful to have found Stephanie Nelson & her girls! They made every conversation easy and clear, and made the day of the wedding unforgettable! Every single one of my girls (including moms/aunts) had so much getting ready with the SN team and we all could not have been more happy with the way we looked for the day! I genuinely felt like a real life princess because of them! Sweetest and most talented people you will ever meet! -

Still obsessed with my hair and makeup...Stephanie is amazing!!!
Stephanie and her team are absolutely wonderful to work with. I have hated my hair/makeup anytime I’ve gotten it done professionally so I was nervous about having it done for my wedding. As soon as I met Stephanie at my trial I knew I was in good hands! She and her team are easy to work with and truly take into account what you ask for. They are thorough in understanding your skin and hair type and using the best products for you! Stephanie is also hilarious and such a joy to be around, and the team helped us have so much fun the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids all loved their looks too, and we got so many compliments!!! My sister was my maid of honor and loved everything about the experience working with Stephanie that she hired them for her wedding this fall (and I can’t wait to work with her again!!!!) -

Beauty Dream Team
Stephanie and her team are incredible! They are super friendly, helpful, amazing at what they do, and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else for my hair and makeup needs for my big day. When Stephanie finished my hair and makeup and had me take a look at it, I was overcome with emotion, I really can't describe it other than to say I felt like I was in a fairy tale looking at her art. Her team was great with my Bridesmaids, sister in law, and my flower girls, they made us feel pampered and beautiful. Seriously look no further, and book this team -

I wish I started first with SN Makeup & Hair!
Originally, I had booked a different artist, who promised me I would be ready the day of the wedding on time and with enough stylists to do this in a timely manner, no stress. 2 months before our wedding the original stylist I hired could not provide an accurate styling timeline, enough team members to finish everyone on time, and guarantee I would be ready on time - I canceled that contract. I was so STRESSED.
I wanted to work with vendors that were honest, professional, and knowledgeable about their services.
I wish I started with SN Makeup & Hair… but I am so glad & grateful they were the ones behind the chair getting the girls & I ready for my big day.
During the length of my engagement - I did 9 hair & makeup trials with other artists, not including hair & makeup for other events. I did 2 hair trials & 1 makeup trial with SN.
Let’s just say - my hair does not hold a curl, my hair is very fine, very healthy, and very silky straight - and my hair plays hard to get. I struggled trial after trial to get my hair to hold the style for more than 3 hours without looking like I had completely fallen apart, my hair would just straighten itself out, and I looked like I spent days inside of a wind tunnel. What I’ve learned is, there are alot of hair/makeup teams out there - almost anyone can do a photoshoot, but you really want a professional team well versed in bridal for the day of your wedding - if you want your look to last all day.
When I reached out to SN with my list of questions- they responded quickly, all questions answered, and with an estimated preliminary styling timeline. I booked a trial, with whomever was available! Then what stood out from the beginning was when - I sent SN a massive google drive of styles that I liked/considered, she responded without hesitation AND said “can we change your trial date, I have 2 lead artists (Daniela & Victoria) that best fit your style and to make sure we nail the look you’re going for”. This attention to detail from the get go, is what you want from a styling team - and who you want touching your head on your big day. After our hair trials, I emailed them with any of my last minute concerns and Stephanie addressed them quickly and honestly with what efforts the team would put in so my hair would possibly behave and I could achieve the style my heart desired, but also the reality of having difficult hair. Day of the wedding - I went with hair down, and on the day of the wedding with their hair prep methods - my hair HELD 7am to 1am, my hair curls were bouncy, and frizz free! My hair was FLAWLESS from every angle. My makeup was amazing as well, Victoria took the time to understand my skin type and where my oily spots were and where my sensitive zones were and prepped my skin - then applied makeup strategically. I felt comfortable in my hair and makeup all day - I looked high end glam, but also normal in person, and the makeup would photograph well!
Your hair and makeup team is the first vendor you see the day of your wedding, they are the first ones you spend time with - they set the precedent for your day. They are a great group of women ready to hang out and work hard for you! Day of the wedding they were on time, we had fun, they finished ahead of schedule, I felt relaxed, I never felt rushed, and everyone (myself, moms, and the girls) felt cared for. I really appreciate that they took the time - 1. to make sure my mom looked amazing, and that she was comfortable and not stressed out 2. to make sure every person was comfortable with their whole look.
Daniela, Victoria, Stephanie, & hair assistant -
Thank you for making me the most radiant glamorous version of myself the day of my wedding- from the time y’all left to the end of the night! -

Bride's dream team!
The BEST stylists to work with! So funny, relaxing, easy-going and amazing at what they do. Not only did was I, as the bride, just taken aback at how great I looked, but all of bridesmaids said they never felt they had ever looked so good before! The full team at Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair is extremely easy to work with and are very responsive to any questions. They help you choose a style that fits your personality, but also that works best with your face/hair. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did and how fun they were to work with!
p.s. When you get those day-of jitters, Stephanie also knows how to calm you down and make you feel extremely reassured. :) -

Stephanie is Incredible
I have been in to many weddings to count and she was by far the best and most organized. I was so blessed to have her at my own wedding. She did an incredible job on all the girls hair and makeup. My updo she did for my portraits, wedding day, and newlywed shoot was an exact match and held all night, not one hair dropped. My makeup was exactly what I wanted. My girls loved the pre survey she offers to keep everything on time and preplanned. I will use her for all hair/ makeup events in the future.-

Beautiful and Long-lasting Make-up and Hair!
Stephanie Nelson and her team were so great to work with! Stephanie even set up an extra make up trial when I wanted some changes after my first one, and included a fourth artist on my wedding day to make sure I was taken care of. They came in like an army on the wedding day with all their supplies and chairs and lighting and they were also so fun to hang out with while we all got ready! The team of 4 got 8 of us wedding ready in under 3 hours. The bridesmaids continually remarked all night how it was the best wedding hair and make up they've ever had. And the make up and hair stayed in place ALL NIGHT!! They even gave me a bag of blotting papers and lipstick and lip gloss to use throughout the night. They were professional, friendly, helpful, and did a beautiful job! -

Stephanie was fantastic! She is professional, organized, and fun to work with. She did everything possible to make sure my hair and makeup trial was perfect and that I felt comfortable going into my wedding day. I don’t usually wear much make up and was worried about the makeup being too much for my wedding. She was so patient with me during the trial to make sure I felt completely comfortable with my makeup. Also, I have straight, thin hair and really wanted to wear it half up/half down and curly. My hair stayed curly and in place throughout the entire ceremony and reception! The day of the wedding, Stephanie started and ended right on time and was able to finish 6 bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and flower girl with the help of her assistant. The process along the way was smooth, booking my trial was easy, and Stephanie was able to make me feel comfortable and answer my questions in a timely manner. And, she was able to do all this while she was planning her own wedding! -

Stephanie is the best! Not only is her work gorgeous, but she is so organized and easy to work with! After my trial, I was nervous my groom would think the make up was a little much, but he literally said "Wow! That's what you're going to look like for our wedding? You look so beautiful!" as soon as he saw me. Stephanie is simply the best! I have to tout her organization too... she requests info back on how all of you bridesmaids want their hair & make up done too so there are no questions on wedding day. She's a woman after my own heart! I was so appreciative and this helped wedding day go off without a hitch. They were punctual and we finished exactly on time. Thank you, Stephanie, for making me & bridesmaids & mom/mom-in-law as beautiful as we could be for my wedding! -

Loveeeee them!! I originally booked Ashlee for hair and had a different vendor for makeup, however a couple months before the wedding I went ahead and cut ties with my makeup girl for several reasons. In comes SN Makeup & Hair and Daniela to the rescue! Ashlee and Daniela did my hair and makeup for boudoir, bridals, and wedding day along with all of my bridesmaids. Not only are they fun to hang out with, they do a great job of really creating the look that you want! They are definitely professional, which was a nice change of pace from my original makeup vendor. I will definitely be using them for any hair/makeup needs in the future, and I can't recommend them enough! -

I just had my wedding on 5/29 in McKinney, TX. I had hair and makeup done for two moms, two bridesmaids and myself. From the beginning, I loved Stephanie’s quick and informative responses, plus her detailed services and contract. Victoria was my head makeup/hair person and she did my trial appointment. From the moment I met her, Victoria was kind, happy and just a generally nice person. She listened to all of my requests and walked me through everything that she was doing. I especially loved that hair and makeup ideas for everyone were required to be sent via email to Stephanie 1 week beforehand, as well as a quick questionnaire for each person. This helped everyone to focus on what they wanted and made the day go so much more smoothly. When my wedding day came, Victoria and Daniella, were on-time and set-up early. They were kind and patient when listening to everyone and their requests. After all of hair and makeup was done, everyone was 100% happy with their final result and everyone looked beautiful. I would recommend this company to another bride in a heartbeat. -

We hired Stephanie and two of her senior artists for my wedding day (6 bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and myself). They did an amazing job! Stephanie and her team are SO SO talented. I loved my hair and makeup (and I'm picky with my hair and makeup). Stephanie took my feedback from the practice day, and really delivered! I felt so gorgeous on both the practice day and on the wedding day! I shopped around A LOT for hair and makeup. I highly suggest you just stop and book Stephanie. Don't be afraid to provide feedback on what you want. She'll make it happen! Here's a link to our wedding video (keep in my it was raining and I did some pictures outside before the ceremony started, so of course my hair isn't going to look perfect). https://vimeo.com/164133377 Two of the bridesmaids in the video (two blondes) did not have their makeup professionally done. Also, I love the eyelashes she used. The last time I had my makeup professionally done, I could barely keep my eyes open. That was not the case with Stephanie's makeup artistry. As you'll see in the video, all of my bridesmaids looked stunning! They did an amazing job with hair AND makeup. Daniela was our last minute add on artist and she was fabulous! We also used Ashlee! Highly recommend all three ladies if you have a large group. -

I have been working with Daniela and the Reserved Beauty Concierge, which is part of Stephanie Nelson Makeup & Hair. They have handled my hair and makeup for my trial and my bridal shoot so far and I could not be happier! Any time I make a request or have a concern, they are always able to help and to make everything look perfect! I cannot wait to work with them on my wedding day in just two weeks! -

I wanted an artist who would travel on location, had reasonable prices for bridesmaid hair/makeup, and was, of course, very good at hair and makeup! I found Stephanie Nelson Makeup and Hair on TheKnot.com and she had great reviews, so I checked out her prices. To me, everything was very reasonable compared to many others I had looked at. It is important to say that I had kind of procrastinated my search for hair and makeup artists-- I'm talking like a month before. Oops! At that point, she had a busy schedule but was so flexible at fitting my wedding party in for my date. Not to mention, she got me in for both my trial appointment and bridal portraits within two weeks of each other. At each appointment in her adorable home studio, Stephanie was professional, fun, and did amazing work! At the trial she did my hair in about 3-4 different styles and I loved every one of them! I loved the way she did my makeup and fake lashes so much that we didn't even change anything. I very much recommend doing false lashes- I had never had them professionally done and was scared, but they made the look. I felt so beautiful each time she did my hair and makeup. Also, my mom ran in to traffic coming to pick me up for my bridal portraits, and Stephanie patiently buttoned the 35 buttons on my dress so I wouldn't be late! On the big day, Stephanie and her senior artist, Ashlee, were on time, very organized, and looked super cute! Now for the biggest reason Stephanie and Ashlee are awesome-- I had 7 bridesmaids getting hair and makeup, plus my mom and my flower girl. Every single person absolutely LOVED their hair and makeup, and everything was done in a timely manner. One of my friends even has thick, curly hair down to her waist and somehow Stephanie got it curled up into a beautiful updo. Several of my friends who are getting married this year even plan on trying to use her--I really hope they do so I can get my hair and makeup done by her again! -

I used SNMU&H for all of my wedding events and what a joy and relief it was. Those events included my bridal shower, a trial session, bridal portraits, and wedding day services at my venue. My 3 bridesmaids, mother, and the flower girl all used stephanie on the wedding day and we were all very impressed with the quality of her work. We had fantastic hair and make-up that lasted for more than 12 hours!
Stephanie was always on time and her top priority is making sure you are happy, confident, and love the way you look. I started the wedding planning process a little unsure if i wanted to hire a HMU professional and i am so glad i did. I'll be recommending SNMU&H to everyone i know!

Stephanie is a ROCKSTAR!!!!! I was so extremely happy with my hair/makeup for my big day and so were my girls! Her professionalism exceeded all expectations and I would recommend her to anyone looking for hair/makeup. Don't be afraid to tell her what you do and don't like either, she make you feel 100% comfortable and you won't hurt her feelings!
I felt amazing on my big day and also for my bridal photos! I wish I could do it all over again just so I could have awesome hair :) -

Stephanie and her team were great! I have zero complaints (I was the bride)!
Stephanie and team arrived on time (actually early) and were more than prepared for the big day. I had 14 people getting hair and make up done so she was put to the challenge!
Stephanie does her research before hand to make sure she knows exactly what everyone will be asking to have done on the day of. My bridesmaids and family were more than impressed!
Overall, this was one of the best decisions I made on my wedding day! Everyone looked beautiful! -

I cannot recommend Stephanie Nelson Hair and Makeup enough. DFW received lots of ice and snow the weekend of my wedding, so much so that my venue cancelled my wedding. Stephanie Nelson Hair and Makeup, and specifically my artist, Daniela, never even brought up canceling my appointment. They were extremely flexible and pulled through for me during a very stressful and chaotic weekend. The tattoo coverup Daniela provided was flawless, and my hair and makeup was beyond beautiful. -

I absolutely would recommend Stephanie and Daniela to any bride who is seeking a special look for her big day! Stephanie did my hair and makeup for my engagement and bridal pictures. Everyone who saw the makeup continuously asked "WHO did your makeup? You looked amazing!" It is true, I did look and feel beautiful for my portraits!!! For my wedding day, Daniela did my hair and makeup. She even put in extensions that you couldn't even tell were not part of my actual hair.
My actual wedding day was busy and quite stressful just because I got ready at my parent's house. Daniela stayed calm and did such a professional and beautiful job!!! She had already done a trial so we could get my hair and my makeup ideas set before the wedding. This was important because I had extensions and needed to see how I would actually look. I appreciate her patience and how she produced an amazing look that was the same as what we did in my trial for my wedding. She is just that good!!!!
I recommend Stephanie Nelson Hair and Makeup to all girls because Stephanie is a sweetie and such a delight. She knows how to curl hair and make your makeup look phenomenal!!!!! Daniela is a calm and precious person who will keep you smiling and make you look like a glamorous version of yourself. -

Stephanie is amazing. Her work speaks for itself, she does a flawless face and gorgeous hair. I would recommend her and her team to anyone needing hair/makeup services and have! We had a brunch wedding and even though they had to start our hair/makeup at 6 am, they arrived bright and excited about getting us ready! Her team is professional and fun. They are kept to a high standard as well. They take initiative to go to continuing education courses and conventions to keep their skills up to date and on the cutting edge.
As far as my hair and makeup, Stephanie did two trials for me. The first one was about two hours as she went through about 5 different looks to make sure we found the right one. The second she did becuase I had changed my mind about my hair once I purchased my veil and I could not have been happier with the results. She takes pride in her work and really cares about her brides.
She also did my makeup for the rehearsal dinner and when I told her to just do something fun, she nailed it exactly! I was so happy with the different looks she created for me every time.
All in all, this is an artist you should book, she is worth every penny and her team is just as good. -

I was very concerned about looking like myself on my wedding day, I wear make up everyday but not a lot. Stephanie spent a couple hours with me for my trial and came up with a look I was really happy with. On my wedding day she completed my look in less than 45 minutes. I had started out thinking I wanted air brush make up but the quality products that Stephanie used stayed on just as well all night long. I have sensitive skin and had no bad reactions to the make up. I felt beautiful all night long!
Stephanie was scheduled to come to my hotel on my wedding day and she was extremely flexible in the months leading up to the big day, including arriving early and adding hair for my mom and flower girls. She replied to emails almost immediately, which was a huge help for my wedding-obsessed brain.
I found Stephanie on Wedding Wire, the reviews are true, she is great! -

Stephanie is very talented and knows her craft. I felt like a princess when she was done. She has a great personality and is easy to talk to, which is important when sitting in the chair while having your make-up and hair done (makes the time go by faster). Stephanie also did my MOH, my mom and sisters -- everyone was happy! -

Stephanie is fantastic! She did my makeup for my bridals and wedding day, She was very friendly and easy to work with and have me more than I could have dreamed. My makeup has never looked so good and I was able to keep it on and looking good the next day. I have very sensitive skin and none of her products bothered me. I will be using her again for anniversary's and special dates. I wish I could have Stephanie do my makeup every day, she is absolutely wonderful!!! :) -

Stephanie is amazing!!! She made me feel so beautiful and many people commented on how beautiful my make up was on my wedding day. She pays attention to detail and take time to figure out exactly what you want. She spent over an hour with me on the initial consult and we tried many different looks until we achieved the look I wanted. She did 3 other people in my wedding party and they looked so beautiful. She is awesome! -

Stephanie made me look better than I ever have in my entire life. She was so easy to work with and would take my idea, show me different style options, and then use her artistry to make me into my most gorgeous self! I had so many people throughout the entire evening say that they truly thought I was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen and looked like I belonged on a magazine, and that my makeup artist did an incredible job. Yes, they are biased; but I really am very average beauty-wise, and she did such a great job that I was amazed at what I saw when I looked at myself in the mirror and in photos. She and her assistant did makeup for 7 people in 3 hours on my wedding day, which is quite a feat! And they pulled it off flawlessly. They even stayed until the reception to do touch-ups before the reception. I would recommend her to anyone. She's wonderful! -

The makeup artists were phenomenal and so friendly. I would recommend this company for this service. The company also had decently priced services. -

The makeup and hair was amazing! For my consult they did a couple of looks to see what I liked most. It could just be me, I thought she was GREAT, but just a little pricey.
I'd still hire her again ... It just took me so long to decide because of the fees. -

I wanted to love Stephanie Nelson’s Makeup and Hair based on my online research about them, however, based on my experience, I can only say they were ok. My artist, Daniela, did arrive early, which I liked. I asked her if she found the place ok and she informed me that she found it easily since she lives only 5 mins away. That was a nice detail to know, especially since I was charged as she would travel from the salon, which is not an insignificant distance from my house.
Daniela seemed to be rather cold, though professional. She did not express much emotion toward the fact that it was my wedding day. Now I was not asking for anything extraordinary from her but I would expect for someone who’s doing such a big service as bridal hair and makeup to be a bit more upbeat. She did tell me about a breakup with her boyfriend of 10 years though, something a bride would probably not want to hear, especially on her wedding day. Honestly, this made me feel uncomfortable.
I liked my makeup and I loved my hair. She did exactly what I wanted for my hair, however my makeup looked exaggerated from the makeup on the photos that have been shown to her.
My mom did not love her makeup either and Daniela slightly fixed it to where my mom was content. I asked Daniela to very lightly style my mom’s hair since there still was time for it. Now to be clear, I did not ask for any complicated style or hairdo, since my mom has very short hair and not much can even be done with it. She straightened only her front strands and put some product to fixate it. Total time Daniela spent working with my mom’s hair was 10 minutes at most and my credit card was charged $65. This is beyond steep for the work that has been done.
Overall, I expected a better experience from a bridal hair/makeup artist.

Small communication
She responded quickly until I accidentally let my contract expire. She sent it to me at 7:45PM on the 8th and it was due on the 10th. I logged in on the 10th to sign it and it was already voided. I tried to call and email to explain that I thought I had until the end of the 10th to sign and pay. I never heard back from her. Luckily my wedding is 6 months away and I had time to find someone else. -

I chose Stephanie to do my hair and makeup for my wedding... and I don't recommend her. To be fair, I waited way too long to book my hair and makeup and had to go with whoever was available three weeks before the date.
When I first contacted her she was quick to respond and said she was available for my date. And her rates were comparable to other makeup artists. However, with as much as I paid for the hair and makeup it should have been much better quality.
Once I paid her, I found out she actually had two other weddings already booked that day and if she did do the hair and makeup for my wedding, we'd have to be ready FOUR hours before our evening wedding began. Since by now it was definitely too late to find another makeup artist, I chose her other option, which was to have her assistants come. But that was actually her just subcontracting the job out to a person who works at Dry Bar and another who works at a mall makeup counter.
Because the hair person wasn't good at working with different types of hair, (my mom said she thought the hair person had just graduated from beauty school) she had to redo two people's hair and she had some difficulty with my hair too (I can see my scalp in some of the photos). This put us more than an hour behind schedule and we weren't able to take the photos we needed before the wedding and had to rush through our first look. We then had to take the photos we needed before the wedding during the cocktail hour and had to take the photos we should have taken during the cocktail hour during the reception!
However, the makeup artist Krystie did a fantastic job and my makeup lasted the whole night.
Another plus: when I contacted Stephanie and complained about the hair person, she refunded the cost of the hair for those two people. -
