Bella Bridal Artistry

11 people getting hair and/or makeup done on the wedding day, and it was a breeze! Everyone looked beautiful, and had unique hair and makeup styles. Even before the wedding day, the communication was great and I felt heard and valued! Thank you so much Bella Bridal for helping make my day so special!

On the day of, Bobbi and Kelli showed up right on time and made all of us feel so beautiful. Their professionalism and skills both are evident in everything they do. Highly recommend!!

xted my artist directly to ask her a few questions that I was emailed by Melissa. I'm sure she only emailed me because she found out that I texted my stylist. Not only did they forget to notify me far in advance, but they left me helpless in finding another artist within their company to do my hair. When I responded letting them know how upset I was, they finally offered to see if they could find someone, but the damage was done. Not sure why they thought at that point that I would want help from such an unprofessional company. They could have emailed me months before as they knew that their artist was no longer with the company. I ended up doing my own hair which I was completely happy with. But I still can't believe the audacity of Bella beauty. I hope other brides don't run into the same issues.

nspiration pictures to talking about what I envisioned, they listened and asked questions to achieve the perfect look. As a person who doesn't wear makeup much, they made me feel so comfortable and my hair and makeup stayed on all day with the June humidity! They worked so professionally and efficiently the day of and very easy to communicate with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

out my trial, as I had problems with my make up not being done very well and she did not answer my call which we had scheduled or call me back or know I had problems with my trial when she showed up the day of. Day of was unprofessional as well as she did not try to stick to the schedule we had of getting me and all of my bridesmaids done by 2 pm. On the day Melissa, the owner told me she was now planning to do both my hair and my make up as the stylist who did my hair at the trial got sick- which I understood and thought she’d do a great since she was the owner! We started early for my bridal hair & make up at 11:30 and I was not done until 2:45 and my make up was very hastily and not well done in 20 minutes- I had no contour and look pale in my photos. Melissa was not paying attention to time nor communicating with me about what I wanted even though I offered to show her my inspiration picture multiple times throughout the process. She had trouble with the fish tail I wanted and did not tell me she really wasn’t going to get up until she had been attempting to for around 15 min. She spent about an hour & a half curling my hair and not using much hair spray so it just fell right out because the room we were in air conditioning broke so it was very hot in the room. Another stylist, Kelly, who did an amazing job on my bridesmaid’s hair, offered to move me to a spot where the fan would blow on me since it was so hot and no one was in that chair and I was the bride and Melissa said no despite me saying how hot I was and sweating. I know it was less than ideal conditions for it to be hot doing hair & make up but as the bride I wanted to be by the fan and voiced how nice that would be and literally my face turned tomato red sitting in the chair for over 3 hours. Also, after I had sat in the chair for around an hour 45 min I finally asked how we were doing on time and she had no idea it had gotten so late and didn’t really ask or direct another stylist to come and help her and be involved with the bride’s hair & make up besides a girl to recurl my hair who did it and sat there- no one started mr make up and it was after 2 pm and we were supposed to be done by 2 pm. I was so frustrated and felt so ugly and bad about myself, and stressed in the chair and all she could say was “I’m sure you’re really frustrated with me right now” and that was it as I noticeably tried not to cry and voiced how hot, sweaty, and ugly I felt. Paying for services that wasn’t cheap and then to be treated in that way and barely even be offered an apology and having that take over 3 hours of my wedding day to literally have to go right into a first look with my dad after all of that was awful. Don’t get me wrong, I had an AMAZING wedding and am so happy but for that to be how so much of it went was extremely disappointing. However I do want to say- Amelia for make up and Kelly for hair did a GREAT job with my bridesmaids and MOB and MOG’s hair and make up. They were so sweet and kind to all my ladies and I really appreciated that!! Just sad I didn’t feel like I looked as good as them, especially make up wise, as well as extreme lack of communication about changes in stylists and follow up after a rough trial, and time management and communication on the day of by the owner.

and absolutely nailed it on my wedding day. Melissa was professional, always communicated quickly, and was so positive, it was like working with a close friend. Her hair and makeup skills were absolutely flawless. Plus my hair and makeup lasted all day and night, even through tears and the rain. I can't recommend Bella Bridal Artistry enough!!

big wedding party and they made sure we were all ready we’ll before we needed to be. I would highly recommend them for any event !

ing curls, and once I told Corie this she made the adjustments that I needed and my hair stayed curled all night, which is rare! We all did airbrush makeup and Alex expertly created our looks. Alex also made the adjustments I needed for my wedding day based on what I noted from my makeup trial. Alex and Corie were also both so kind and their professionalism and easy conversation put everyone at ease. They both took our ideas into account when creating our looks and I'm so happy with how they turned out. Our hair and makeup stayed flawless all night. Also, Melissa, the owner, was very professional and always communicated quickly. I would recommend Bella Bridal Artistry to anyone who is interested in getting their perfect bridal look for themselves and their bridal party.

m a distance, but Melissa made everything so easy! They do offer makeup and hair trials, but we were not able to take advantage of that because of the distance. However, I had no concerns about my look because they were very thorough asking me for inspiration, looking at my dress and shoes, and helping me decide exactly how I wanted to look on my big day. I felt so beautiful, but still so much like myself. which was important to me! My mom and sister also loved their looks, and looked stunning. A little side note, I also got my first ever spray tan from Melissa, and she was very professional and skilled - asking me clearly about how dark I wanted the tan, etc. I enjoyed working with her right away. Thank you so much, Melissa and team!

rtbeat! Go book and affordable and amazing service!!

me narrow down to what I wanted. On the day of, they travelled to our venue and worked on me (the bride), both MOB and MOG, and 5 bridesmaids. Thy arrived promptly and were very efficient - we actually had some time to just relax and chill before we need to start family photos/first look. They helped make it a wonderful and relaxing morning of the wedding. I was concerned with an outdoor wedding that my hair and makeup wouldn't last but they both did a fabulous job and it survived the day and night with wind and lots of dancing!

my bridal party were higher risk for a COVID-19 infection. Melissa and Tracie really listened to what I was looking for in my hair and makeup. During my trial before the wedding, Melissa tried different colors of eye shadows to see which I liked better and at different steps would hold up the mirror for me to see if I liked it. The makeup was exactly what I wanted! I showed Tracie pictures of the hair styles I liked and she whipped up a fabulous up-do for me. I was so pleased with the trial run! On the wedding day, Melissa was unable to make it due to a family emergency, but she sent Tracie in advance to make sure we could finish everyone's hair and makeup. Even though she had four women's hair and makeup to complete on her own, Tracie was super calm and did an INCREDIBLE job. Our hair and makeup turned out so well and I was really happy with the final look! Definitely hire these all-star ladies for your bridal hair and makeup!

updo because my wedding was supposed to be outside in the mountains which would’ve been windy, but the day of it was pouring and we moved the ceremony inside. Literally halfway through her doing my hair on the day of my wedding, I told Mary I wanted some of it down now that we wouldn’t be outside and she didn’t skip a beat! Both of these girls had the best attitudes! I felt like an absolute princess both days and would highly recommend Bella Bridal/Mary & Kalla to literally everyone getting married in Asheville. Prices were very reasonable and they did an amazing job. The girls wore masks both times so if that’s important to you like it was to me, know that they are definitely COVID conscious! I can’t say enough good things about these girls! Thank you again Mary & Kalla! 💕💕

e my look on my wedding day. But I saw all the gorgeous photos of their work online/Instagram and loved the natural, effortless look of all their clients and thought they would be the perfect match. I did a hair & makeup trial and was stunned when it was time to look at myself in the mirror! I have a few bridesmaids that also don’t typically like their makeup done either and they absolutely RAVED about their look. One of my bridesmaids who was married a month earlier said she wished she could go back in time and hire Bella Bridal. They were so fun to work with and took all the right COVID precautions, so we all felt extremely safe while getting HMU done. All the ladies were complimented on how beautiful they looked, and it was true! I love how natural my bridesmaids and I look in all my photos and I am so glad I ended up booking Bella Bridal!

ers that weren't initially wanting their makeup done. Communication leading up to the day was excellent. I highly recommend them!

l. Not only that, they have great attitudes, smiles, and felt like old friends. Thank you, ladies!

suit our likes. They were also so quick and professional. I couldn’t have asked for better results and a more talented and friendly team to do mine and my wedding party’s hair and makeup.

Everyone was very talented. I was absolutely thrilled with my hair and make up. My makeup remained flawless the entire day, even through all the happy tears! We had a photo shoot the next day and Melissa came back again to make me up all over again. I highly recommend her and her team for any of your hair and make up needs!

ommunicate with (text, emails, you name it, she was on it), very reassuring, and she went above and beyond what was expected of her. High quality artistry was delivered quickly (which I appreciated because I had a big party) but meticulously- each hair and eyelash was attended to. Each hair and make up artists also listened to what we wanted (each girl had a slightly different look she wanted to go for and each woman delivered). I (the bride) personally have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. I have never felt so confident either. They were wonderful and I cannot recommend Bella Bridal enough! In addition to that, the pricing is VERY competitive for the Asheville area and given the quality of work, it was more than worth it!

the makeup! I couldn't have asked for a better team, they made my day perfect.

bout their results as well. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with as well. I would highly recommend them and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

makeup actually looked the same the very next day! I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed!

ot be an issue) they arrived on time, but ended up running VERY late as makeup and hair took longer than it should have, which is when one of the ladies said “THIS is why we do trials”- That is NOT something to say in front of a bride right before her wedding... We had to touch up our own makeup due to the time crunch (we had 3 people having hair and makeup done, it took over 3 hours) when we brought up these issues we had with them, they basically called us liars, and brought up that they had to travel to us, which we paid extra for. The makeup was passable, but didn’t end up being anything we couldn’t have done ourselves, especially since we had to touch them up, which is frustrating considering the substantial price we paid. I strongly recommend finding another company unless you have LOTS of extra time to get ready and time/money to do a few trials. It looked passable, don’t get me wrong, but it was not worth the almost $200 per person that we paid...

through. It was really easy to contact her and she replied that day to set up a time and even came to our AirBnB for the hair and make-up. My sister had pictures of what she envisioned and Melissa and her team replicated her hair and make-up perfectly! Would highly recommend her service! Thanks again Melissa!

ecommend them!

for my trial I felt like we were old friends! She has a very contagious, upbeat personality that just makes you feel so comfortable. She listens to the look you want and does an outstanding job. She traveled to my venue for my wedding day and although I was a ball of nerves, she kept me smiling and calm throughout my makeup application. I truly felt like a princess!
