I got married 10/2! I traveled from Michigan & was unable to book a trial for services so I was soooo worried about selecting hair & make up for the day of. The owner not only did what she could to work within my budget (within reason - don’t discount your dang vendors!!) but she completely styled our looks for the day because we were so lost. The owner is kind, talented, sweet, patient & helpful. We couldn’t be happier with our services. We felt beautiful. Thank you.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my hair and make up on my wedding day! I don’t wear a lot of make up daily and my goal way to look like me. I LOVE how I looked in all of my photos and my hair held up all night! We were even able to squeeze in a couple bridesmaids last minute to get their hair done 100/10

My stylist, Vanessa, was amazing! She was always super communicative when I emailed her and worked with me on the trial. The day of, she blew it out of the park and I felt so beaut...

iful. She did wonderful Hollywood waves and very classic bridal makeup. Everybody was blown away by how good I looked. Also, the pricing was super reasonable and there were no minimums as far as bridesmaids go. Vanessa also kept to the timeline which was awesome because it was an afternoon wedding and the morning was a bit crazy. Thank you so much Captivate team!

Shauna did amazing! I had to find someone last minute that traveled, and was told about Captivate Beauty. They responded extremely quickly and continued to have great communication...

throughout the process. Their prices are amazing for the quality of service they provide. Shauna did an amazing job, arrived early, listened to my concerns, and was able to do exactly what I wanted even though I wasn’t able to do a trial. My hair and makeup lasted from 11am-11pm! I would recommend them, especially if you need a traveling artist who does hair and makeup and won’t make you do a “wedding package service”.

mire Vanessa’s skill, attention to detail, and her ability to accentuate more desirable features. I’ve never felt prettier in my life. Additionally, I had Mandy as the additional stylist to assist with the wedding party hair and make-up. All the women were very pleased with all services provided and between Vanessa and Mandy, everything ran smoothly and on time. I would definitely recommend Captivate Beauty to anyone looking for hair and make-up services on his/her wedding day!

Brit M

I got married in Colorado I was very hopeful to have hair and makeup that I could give a 5 star review on. But unfortunately that wasn't the case. The ladies were very nice, but th...

e service itself was not the quality I expected. Unfortunately no one was pleased with their makeup, myself included. We paid for airbrush, I felt like I had very basic coverage that did not look airbrushed and minimal contouring and my face was definitely quite lighter than the rest of my body which made me look very washed out in photos. My brows were barely touched. I had no lip liner. My eye liner didn't look right. Unfortunately, I was rushed to get out the door, otherwise I would have been able to touch up and fix what needed to be done. My hair turned out pretty but it all fell flat very quickly and my curls did not hold. For the amount of money spent on the service, the travel fee, the built in tip...it was just not the quality it should have been for the kind of money. I really hate to write negative reviews, but I went off of reviews when choosing and unfortunately did not end up with the quality bridal makeup I was hoping for. We recently had our second wedding last week down in Florida and I showed the artist the same makeup inspiration photo and it was a drastic positive difference from what I received with Captivate.

Response from Captivate Beauty

Hi Brittany, We hate that you feel this way and want to offer you an apology. No one shou...

ld feel this way after their wedding day. Your pictures did look beautiful. To our future brides, We would be happy to share photos to anyone requesting to see the quality of the work on this bride as it is not poor. She looks lovely. A couple important notes regarding this day. The bride opted not to do a trial session. We highly recommend a practice run so you do not run into any unexpected preference issues or timing restrictions like the bride mentioned. She felt stress to leave and unfortunately, she should have looked and made the changes so she would have been happy vs saying it's good. We have over a decade of bridal experience and trust us; everyone will wait for the bride. This wedding was a very early morning wedding small elopement on the top of the mountain. It was cold and it gets very windy. This can be a concern for any wearability and longevity of any style. We are available to stay for touch ups. This was not an option the bride chose; however, it could have benefited her greatly. Honestly at the end of the day we stand behind this work and we are happy to make adjustments and give recommendations, but if the bride does not accept those recommendations or communicate wanted/ needed adjustments with us, we can only do so much to excel at our jobs. Wishing Brittany and her husband all the happiness in the world. They are a beautiful couple.

Vanessa exceeded my expectations on my bridal hair and makeup! It was perfect and I couldn’t have been more happy with the way it turned out! She is very friendly and professional,...

fun to work with, and flexible during the wedding morning chaos. She stayed extra to make sure everyone got done what they wanted done! I will be recommending Captivate and Vanessa to everyone looking for wedding beauty services!

Vanessa and her team were absolutely amazing! I was specifically concerned about makeup because many of my bridesmaids and I are Asian and I had concerns about the heavy makeup fea...

tured on wedding related websites, but Vanessa understood exactly. Our trial was hassle-free because Vanessa just knows how to make anybody look beautiful. My bridesmaids and I got so many comments about how on point the makeup was. They were incredibly professional to work with. They didn't rush us but worked efficiently. They made the flower girl feel immediately comfortable too.

Bethany K

I was married 2 weeks ago and feel so blessed to have worked with Captivate Beauty for my wedding! My mom and I went in-studio morning of my wedding. I worked with Vanessa, who did...

my hair and makeup on my wedding day, and she also did a trial for me a couple months prior. She was very attentive and kind, listened to my feedback and was patient with any changes I wanted made during the trial. I felt absolutely beautiful! She is very talented. I recommend doing a trial, no matter what. I loved my makeup so much more day of my wedding, and it made the morning more relaxed. I also recommend being prepared to spend money. It’s going to be a little less expensive if you go in-studio, but prepare to spend a few hundred on both trial and actual hair and makeup. Despite the cost, it’s WORTH IT. You’ll thank yourself when you get pics back, especially if you wear makeup regularly like me. Plus it’s a nice relaxing way to begin your wedding morning! Pamper yourself and do it with Captivate Beauty if you’re in the south denver/Castle Rock area!

Haley L

Maree was so sweet and had the best energy for me on my wedding day, and got me and my bridesmaids done on time. She was really attentive to the looks we wanted and did her best to...

get us all looking like the inspo pictures we showed her. I thought my eye makeup was amazing but I'm giving 4 stars because I was really disappointed in the airbrush service I got but I think it had to do with the lighting during application. I think if I would have seen it in natural light I would've said something. But it was an easy fix at the venue. Also, I absolutely loved my boho updo but a couple of the other bridesmaids hairdos looked liked they were rushed and one of my bridesmaids didn't get the service she paid for. Maree was super efficient but her extra help that she brought was not. I wish that we would have had 2 Marees

Aleigha from Captivate Beauty was incredible. I booked them for both of my weddings- one in Cannon Beach and one in Denver. The whole team was easy to work with and super flexible ...

and accommodating. We had six girls for the Cannon Beach wedding, including my mother-in-law and me. Aleigha did a fantastic job on everyone's makeup. I felt and looked truly beautiful. Additionally- we had our engagement shoot after my makeup trial, and she offered to restyle my hair for the photo shoot. She is great with curly hair too! Additionally, Aleigha worked with my sister, who has autism, and it was her first time getting makeup done. Aleigha was patient and kind; my sister was BEAMING the whole day. I highly recommend you book captivate beauty for your wedding!

erience working with Aleigha from Captivate Beauty, Colorado, I applaud her and her team's customer service. They were the ones emailing me the details of my appointment, not the other way around. Communication was excellent. Aleigha was my hair and make-up stylist. Aleigha got to the venue on time and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was super nervous because I did not have a hair and make-up trial. She calmed me down and told me everything was going to be okay. During the whole process, Aleigha was very knowledgeable and helpful. My hair and makeup were absolutely perfect!! I could not believe the final result was so flawless even without a trial. I will be forever thankful to her. Captivate Beauty and Aleigha's services are highly recommended.

very good at was she does. She did my (the bride) hair and makeup which looked very natural. All of my bridesmaids had very natural makeup and they all couldn't stop saying how much they loved it. They were very timely and were able to finish all 7 of the bridesmaids hair in just a couple hours. I would definitely recommend Captivate for your wedding beauty needs!

We used Captivate for our wedding hair and makeup stylists in Silverthorne, Colorado. Everything from the communication, transparency, timeliness, trials, and day-of successes was ...

smooth and of high quality. Devin and McKinzie did a great job working with the entire bridal party and moms on the day-of. They balanced everyones' personal preferences with the vision of the bride, and they made perfect suggestions based on professional judgement considering skin tone, facial structure, etc. We'd certainly recommend them to other brides looking for hair and makeup in Colorado.

air down and curled as I was never satisfied or happy with the up do during the trial and I was nervous that I wouldn't like it. All of my bridesmaids ended up doing their hair down and curled as well but one of them. She ended up taking her up do down and redoing it as she was not happy with it. Fortunately she's a hair stylist and was able to do something on her own. I was moderately satisfied with the curls in my hair and my bridesmaids. TBH I think I could have just done it myself

- do it. I am so glad I did because it made the day- of SO much less stressful. During my trial, we discussed options and were able to work out some kinks; like How many pins to use in my hair for the up-do so I wouldn't get a headache (its very thick and long).

I cannot recommend my personal make-up artist enough. However, this is a review specifically for the Captivate Beauty Company. I booked with captivate beauty and was given an artis...

t. When trying to confirm a trial with her, it turns how they had not confirm with her my wedding date, so I was given a new artist. Once my wedding planner had taken over, we found out they had book me to get makeup done at 4:30 in the morning when my ceremony was not until 3 p.m. While my artist was wonderful, I cannot recommend this company.

A friend recommended Captivate Beauty to me when I said that I was worried about finding a make-up artist that airbrushed and erased my face and replaced it with an Instagram versi...

on of me. Captivate listened to my concerns and made sure the MAU fit the style I was going for - which ended up being a "glam" version of me and highlighted my natural beauty. Captivate was also amazing because my original MAU got Covid the week of my wedding/make-up trial and they immediately rescheduled me with another MAU who did an absolutely beautiful job at my trial with 5 hours notice. She also finished the make-up for the entire bridal party about an hour ahead of schedule so we got to hang out and relax before the ceremony. Captivate Beauty was friendly, responsive, and took my wishes for the day of seriously - overall they were great to work with.

, open-minded, direct and never left me guessing. I felt prepared on my wedding day and at ease knowing she would be there to make me feel and look beautiful. Absolutely everything i could have asked for AND more. I would highly recommend doing a trial appointment beforehand in order to know exactly what you want for the day of. This made is SO much easier to visualize the look. Plus, my nerves felt more at ease. This is one element of the day I could check off and not worry about at all. Nothing but wonderful praises for Aleigha and her team.

Holly M

Aleigha is a great hairstylist and make up artist! She made me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life! She was so easy to work with and very attentive to what I ask...

She also did my bridesmaid make up and hair and we looked marvelous. She’s the best! I’d hire her again in a heart beat! Plus she’s super nice and listens to what you want!
