I absolutely loved having MU8 as the HMUA for our wedding!!! I’m someone who loves clear and direct communication, so Patrice’s thorough policies and emails were so helpful and mad...
e MU8 an easy pick.
Madison did an amazing job on my make-up. I don’t normally wear makeup so I was nervous but she nailed the natural but noticed look! She also had great calming and fun energy. The make-up lasted alllll night and was the perfect amount of coverage!! My bridal party was also so happy with their make-up and they all looked stunning!
Colleen also did a crazy awesome job with our hair. All of us have long and/or thick hair and she really put her foot in it!! My curls and half-up/half down style lasted all night, plus I got so many compliments on my hair. Colleen was also so patient and kind as she worked with all of us. She is so talented!
I felt so gorgeous all day and can’t recommend this team enough!!! 10000/10!!!
Colleen and Frankie were absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding. There was some potential for issues as one of the makeup artists did not show up, but due to the profess...
ionalism and experience of Frankie and the extra time built into the morning, she was able to complete everyone’s makeup on time if not early and everyone looked their best. None of my party wears much makeup on day to day, so we all wanted to look elevated but still ourselves. I was so happy with how I looked and even more impressed with how well the makeup stayed throughout the day through the tears and dancing. My hair was exactly what I wanted and remained beautiful throughout all the humidity and movement.
If I could I would give MU8 6 stars. I could spend hours going on and on about how amazing Patrice and her team were to work with. Everything was effortless and easy between planni...
ng and my actual wedding day. I could not be happier with how well my hair and makeup came out!
From the consultation to wedding day, working with Patrice and her team at MU8 was an absolute dream! Communication was always on point. I felt all my questions and concerns were a...
nswered. Patrice is extremely professional and organized. And the bride portal is super convenient and user-friendly!
I had 6 ladies in my entourage and everyone’s hair and makeup came out perfectly and right on schedule. I had clip in extensions and three of my girls have very long, thick hair. Not only were the hair and makeup services superb, the vibes were IMMACULATE. Everyone had such a great time getting ready and it really calmed my nerves down. I also was spray tanned by Patrice and couldn’t have been happier with the results. This aspect of the wedding was extremely important to me and I’m so thrilled with my choice. THANK YOU MU8 <3
Patrice and her team at MU8 are incredible! Their positivity, energy and excitement made our getting ready experience so wonderful. My hair and makeup looked incredible and I have ...
never felt more beautiful in my life. Patrice and Karla truly made my party feel beautiful and perfectly brought everyone's vision to life.
Thank you so much MU8 for all of your help on our big day!
OMG I wish there were words to do Patrice and her team justice! They were UN.BE.LIVABLE. genuinely one of the top moments of my wedding.

ng the most stunning we ever have. Bridesmaid quote “I have been to SO many wedding and my makeup has never been better than this.”
Most of us slept in our makeup *party mode* and STILL looked like we just had it done.
Amazing communication, professionalism, talent, and just overall fun and enjoyment on day of = MU8.
Patrice, you boss woman!!!! We all love you, your fantastic team of talented women, please hang out with us cause we’re going to miss you and your amazing-ness more than you know!
YOU NEED MU8 IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!
MU8 was great to with. Patrice and her team bring the energy and are very personable and were responsive to requests from the bridal party. Patrice is very good about communicating...
so that expectations are understood and met from all of the parties involved. Having a vendor with a demonstrated portfolio of working with folks with monolids, different skin tones, and more was a non-negotiable for me, so choosing her business was an easy choice!
THE BEST! I've had the pleasure of working with Patrice and MU8 multiple times, so when it came time to pick hair and makeup for my wedding it was a no-brainer! My trial was schedu...
led a few weeks before the wedding and it was well worth it! I was able to prepare using the MU8 Instagram - picking my favorite hairstyles and the makeup I liked. Patrice also posts very informative stories that I found really helpful before my trial and the wedding! Patrice asked for honest feedback, and although I had very little, she took note of it. Fast forward to my wedding day, and omg Patrice and the team knocked it out of the park! There wasn't a single thing I would've changed about my look!!! I even teared up during my reveal - it was everything I hoped for. On top of that, not only did every single bridesmaid, MOB, MOG, etc. look amazing, they also felt great! Sometimes getting hair and makeup done can be intimidating because you end up looking way different than normal, but MU8's team took time to ask each girl their preference and it showed!! Even some of the pickier ladies were thrilled. I HIGHLY recommend MU8 Bridal Beauty to any bride! You and your girls will look and feel like a million bucks.
I had a phenomenal experience with MU8 Bridal Beauty for my wedding day! I booked bridal hair and makeup (we didn’t have a wedding party), and Patrice made the entire experience fe...
el so special. She was incredibly professional while also being energetic, and enthusiastic. She helped create such a calm and peaceful vibe in my hotel room on wedding day that made getting ready feel grounded and joyful.
I also highly recommend doing a trial—Patrice asked thoughtful questions before, during, and after to make sure we were completely aligned on my vision. She was so accommodating throughout the entire process, and I always felt like I was in great hands.
On the big day, her skills absolutely blew me away. She took such an intentional, detail-oriented approach, and the results were STUNNING. The Hollywood curls and soft glam were the perfect complement to my attire. I felt so beautiful—like the most glowing, confident version of myself. My hair and makeup withstood plenty of sweat and happy tears throughout the day, yet still looked flawless by the end of the night!
I’m so grateful to have had Patrice as my hair and makeup artist—she’s truly the best!

am were so much fun to work with and so professional. They made me feel beautiful from trial day all the way up to wedding day. Getting ready on the big day was such a fun time and all of my girls looked and felt so beautiful the whole day. Patrice was so helpful, attentive and patient with me until the very end and I cannot thank her and her team enough. Also shoutout to Frankie who slayed my makeup on wedding day! 10/10 would recommend

"Incredible Experience with MU8: Thank You, Patrice & Maddison!"
I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done by Patrice and Maddison, and I can't say enough great things a...
bout the entire experience. From the trial to the big day, everything was seamless, thanks to the fantastic team at MU8. Their communication was excellent, and they made the entire process so easy and stress-free.
Both Patrice and Maddison took the time to understand my vision and helped me achieve my dream look. Maddison did an absolutely immaculate job with my makeup—it was flawless and lasted all day, from the ceremony all the way through the reception. Patrice gave me the most stunning, voluminous glam waves that were just perfect for my wedding day.
What truly stood out was the positive energy and love that both Patrice and Maddison brought to the start of my big day. It made everything even more special. I’m so grateful to them for helping me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day!
Thank you again for making me feel so beautiful, inside and out! I highly recommend MU8 to anyone looking for an amazing, talented team!
Cannot say enough good things about Patrice and her team!! They were absolutely amazing in every way, they made my girls and I feel stunning and so comfortable, they took their tim...
e and connected with each of us and met exactly with what all of us wanted. I cannot recommend them enough, one of my best friends who was my bridesmaid booked her for her own wedding because of how amazing they were! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Patrice🤍
If you don't book MU8, you're doing yourself a disservice!
Patrice is extremely professional, extremely personable, very organized, and a true delight. I really struggle to find t...
he words to describe my experience with her because nothing really fits how fantastic working with her was. There were 6 of us, including the mothers of the bride and groom. I was happy, and my bridal party is still singing her praises almost a month later. She does give you a touch-up kit, which I gave to my mom and it was misplaced. Nevertheless, my makeup lasted the entire night! And we PARTIED!! I hope to book her again for literally anything.
Don't hesitate! Book her before someone else does!
Patrice was incredible to work with! Two things stood out the most: first, she was such a wonderful presence the morning of my wedding. We wanted to be calm and joyful with a small...
group, and she helped cultivate that vibe. Second, it was so easy to communicate the few changes I wanted to make after the trial. The final look was so perfect, I've never felt more beautiful. Also she swore my oil was going to be controlled and she DELIVERED. My face was matte without looking dry and perfect all night. Would recommend to everyone!
I can’t get over how impressed I have been with MU8 from the start of communication tho my wedding day. Patrice runs this business so swimmingly and really gives you the perfect ru...
ndown of what to expect from the start.
I am a girlie who doesn’t usually wear too much makeup. I’ve had my makeup done professionally before and have never really loved it. Now, let me tell you when at my trial- I didn’t need a THING changed. Sammie & Brielle understood my vision and made it come to life!
Fast forward to wedding day, and it was the most amazing hair and makeup- better than I could have really ever imagined. Not to mention, it held all the way until the next morning 😂
If you’re THINKING about booking MU8, just do it. To note, I also did love that they would just travel for me as I had no bridal party (for a reasonable additional fee). I did end up adding four others onto the services, but it is something to note!
MU8 Bridal was the perfect choice. I used Patrice and her team based on the fact that I had a small bridal party - just my maid of honor and his best man.
My maid of honor is a ...
beautiful black woman and I heard stories of POC having a terrible time with makeup artists. MU8 promotes that they do all skin types and their online presence demonstrated this.
When I did the pre-booking call, Patrice completely put my mind at ease for my best friend.
A month before our trial - I had to have major surgery which required me to be quarantined for 2-3 months after. Patrice was very supportive and worked with me to get our trial rebooked even though it would have been a month and a half before the wedding. She even celebrated with me (much needed transplant).
The day of the trial - it felt like a small party; she and her team (Bridget and Madison) were so much fun and asked such detailed questions. They nailed it the first time for both of us and we looked exactly as we had described.
The day of the wedding was no different. They also did my mother's hair and mother-in-law's makeup. They were so organized and lively, so much so that we were ahead of schedule.
It did rain and it was humid but the hair and makeup on everyone stayed perfectly. Due to some medical reasons, I had a massive bruise on my left arm. Madison was able to cover it completely and it stayed for the entire night!!
I had so much fun with MU8 and WILL be using them in the future for any other makeup/hair needs. I have nothing but amazing things to say!
Finding the perfect hair and makeup artists for your wedding is such a stressful process because every bride wants their look to be perfect. I am beyond thankful that I had the MU8...
team to deliver the most gorgeous looks for me and my girls on my wedding day! I knew from the first call I had with Patrice that her team would be experienced professionals and they would bring the fun and relaxing vibe that all brides deserve on their wedding day. To say that my hair was a dream would be an understatement! Sammi absolutely killed it and my gorgeous glam waves lasted all night. Brielle was our makeup artist and if I could have her do my makeup for every event or wedding I go to from here on out, I would. My makeup was flawless and didn’t budge through my tears or standing in the hot sun during my ceremony. Patrice and her team were also very flexible when I had a few last minute add-ons (hair and makeup for my MIL) the night before the wedding. If you’re a bride in the Philly area, you will not find a better team to make you look and feel your best on your wedding day!
Patrice and her team were just incredible. Our group of 13 walked away not only looking gorgeous, but feeling gorgeous. They masterfully styled all different hair types. I am a cur...
ly bride with very thick hair, and before this experience, every stylist required that I show up with straight hair. Not MU8. I was able to handle my curls as usual and they enhanced and styled them to perfection. It was eye opening to see what the beauty industry could be for curly hair girls. I am just in awe of this amazing team and so highly recommend them.
When I saw Patrice’s work on IG I was obsessed! I knew she was the only one I wanted to do my bridal make up. When we did my trial she helped me feel comfortable as I told her I do...
n’t really wear make up. She asked a ton of questions to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. On wedding day, Patrice went above and beyond and she just made me feel like the most beautiful bride. She made sure I was set for the entire day. I will definitely be back to see her again! Haha just need to add, she’s also just a whole vibe. Professional, talented, kind, and fun!
I had followed Patrice on Instagram before MU8's 2024 books were open, and I knew they were the only HMUA team I wanted to hire. Patrice and her team added so much hype to the morn...
ing of our wedding. They prioritize creating the best experience for their brides, and it completely shows from the trial to the morning of the wedding. Brielle and Bridget handled my hair and makeup, and they both completely slayed my looks. Patrice came to help make sure everything ran on time, which was such a blessing. Her energy is unbeatable. The MU8 team was so warm and accepting of my queer brother. I really wanted him to feel beautiful on my wedding day, and I stressed how important it was to have an artist that completely accepted him. Patrice slayed his look, made him feel beautiful inside out, and it made me the happiest older sister ever. I cannot recommend the MU8 team enough, because they truly made the morning of my wedding a total dream. Then, my makeup and hair looked gorgeous through the end of the evening. So start to finish, MU8 truly nailed it.
All I'm going to say is--DO IT. Hire MU8. They are fantastic, positive, smart, kind and talented. I wanted to go with something ultra dramatic both in terms of hair and makeup, and...
Patrice and Madison were my greatest cheerleaders. They encouraged me and made the trial such a fun experience. These are folks you definitely want in your corner the morning of your wedding, especially if you are a more anxious person, like me!!! Getting ready with my family and the MU8 crew is actually one of the most wonderful memories from my entire wedding weekend. You just can't do better in terms of attitude, or skill set.
Book MU8!! My sister booked MU8 for her wedding in 2022 and after being part of her day I did not hesitate to book them for my own. Patrice was communicative and transparent during...
the entire process - from our first call to the day of my wedding. I always felt like my input was taken into consideration and that I was receiving the absolute best care. When it came to hair and makeup it felt really important to me to feel like an elevated version of my normal self (and my bridesmaids to feel the same), and not feel pressured to do too much makeup or a specific kind of hairstyle. And Patrice does just that! I always felt like she and her team were there to help me and my girls feel our best. And let's talk about the vibes! The group that was in our suite doing hair and makeup made the morning so much fun and made my girls feel SO GOOD about themselves. Not only did I feel like a bombshell, but each of my bridesmaids was able to feel the same way with a range of hair styles and makeup applications that felt true to them. It was also unbelievably windy on my wedding day and my hair stayed styled exactly as it was when I left the bridal suite. Thank you MU8 for starting my day in the best way!
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 su...
ch 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. I initially did not feel that my makeup compared to my trial and my makeup artist 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!
EDIT TO ADD: They now have wedding lip color for sale!
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 tri...
al 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!!
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 imm...
aculate 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!!
I cannot recommend MU8 Bridal Beauty enough. The whole process from start to finish was immaculate. On our intro call, Patrice was pragmatic, calming and knowledgeable. And the vib...
e remained through my wedding day. Frankie did my squad's makeup and Yuliia did hair. And they both absolutely nailed it. I've never felt hotter than on my wedding day. Frankie and Yuliia were so much fun while being extremely professional, and created a relaxed atmosphere while getting ready. They were both quick to pivot based on my group's requests to adjust elements of their hair and makeup and still finished earlier than anticipated. My whole group was over the moon with their final looks. I also took advantage of MU8's hair and makeup trial as well as the spray tan leading up to the wedding day. My spray tan was *chef's kiss* and looked so natural. All around, the experience was 10/10 and booking MU8 was one of the greatest decisions I made during the wedding planning process.
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 wh...
at 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!
I highly recommend booking with MU8 for your wedding! Not only is Patrice a knowledgeable and talented make up artist, but she is a kind, down to earth, and fun person!
Every s...
tep of working with MU8 was simple and stress free. MU8 responded to all emails quickly and professionally. I did a trial make up session and Patrice took her time to get to know what I liked (and didn't like), how I envisioned my wedding day look, and took the time to change/trial different things to find the perfect combination. She truly has it down to a science!!
The day off, Patrice and Brielle made each of my bridesmaids (and my mom and MIL) feel beautiful and confident. They catered to everyones styles and preferences and took their time to make us all feel our best.
I highly recommend Patrice and her team for your big day!
I cannot sing enough praise about MU8! I first met Patrice as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and not only did she give me the BEST up-do of my entire life, she also brought AMA...
ZING energy. I was so impressed that I knew I wanted to book her for my own wedding. Two days later, I sent her an email, and thank goodness she was available on our date. The morning of our wedding there was a storm which caused traffic delays and the venue temporarily lost power! Despite all of this, Patrice and her team were calm, cool, and collected. They even gave my mother a hairstyle that she liked (she cried!) which is IMPOSSIBLE to do but they pulled it off. One note for future brides: I was unsure if I was going to get both hair and make-up services since I am very particular about my make-up and typically do not wear a lot. While they do offer the ability to add services at a later date, that is dependent upon artist availability. So if you are debating adding a service and you have a popular date I recommend booking the service sooner rather than later. I inquired about adding make-up services about 3 months out from my wedding date, but they did not have the availability to add on. The good news is that I did a few make-up trials by myself and at home and ended up loving the look I gave myself - so it all worked out! Thank you MU8!
Patrice and her team were absolutely amazing!! From start to finish, the executed my vision perfectly. Patrice was amazing with communication with me over the past few months and...
helped answer any questions I had. Both Yulia and Jackie were a blast to work with on my wedding day and helped make me and my girls feel the most beautiful we have ever felt. All night all everyone could talk about was my hair and makeup!
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 curls 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!
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 u...
p 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!
I cannot express enough that do not hesitate and hire MU8 Bridal Beauty for your wedding! Patrice and her team are SO talented and truly made me, my mother, mother-in-law, and brid...
esmaids in awe of our hair and make up. Patrice has a wonderful and seamless process that makes things so easy for a wedding planning bride. She has an easy to navigate portal, inspiration section, and a thorough trial. Patrice and her team are your ultimate hype crew and constantly communicated with me (and bridal party) to make sure the hair and make up would be exactly how I envisioned it on my wedding day. I am so happy that I get to say "I had MU8 Bridal Beauty as my hair and make up vendor" because they are truly 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.
Prides themselves in individualized approach but gave me a one size fits all one. Posted passive aggressive IG stories following trial. Posted a vid of me without letting me know....
I know I signed up for that in signing the contract but heads up would’ve been nice. Took my suggestions in adjustments personally and overall did not deliver the look I asked for and worked so hard to communicate, respectfully, multiple times. Too expensive to be having that experience imo. Trial itself had me down $300. I booked for the good energy and emphasis on individualization in their videos. Wedding day, bad/awkward energy all around. Horrible start to my day. I felt like I was torturing her. She didn’t even prep me the way she said she would and then ran out the door when she was finished. I tried so hard to get on the right foot with her. Why would I want to beef with the person doing my face for my wedding? My experience makes me sad more than anything. I refuse to believe I was difficult. I did not pull inspo from their page bc there weren’t any East Asian women with the look I wanted. But I trusted bc she’s a pro and what I wanted is not as complex as what they have featured. Like, the Hollywood waves they do take a lot of experience and talent. What I wanted wasn’t nearly as complicated. And it was so hard to ask for a warm, monochromatic makeup look; color washed across eyelid. Kept giving me cool/dark brown outer corner trial day and wedding day. My eyes looked smaller. Not to mention issues with blending, symmetry, and setting I was too scared to bring up. I unfollowed and wrote this after seeing their story as to why they don’t offer trials before booking bc their process is “individualized”, “proven”, “successful” and they are too experienced to be “auditioning”. Well, I wish there was a trial.
Great for brides going for one look. Bad overall experience for me personally.
Patrice and her team were phenomenal! I am not a confident person in the slightest and one of the biggest takeaways I have from my wedding day was that not even for a moment was I ...
worried I didn’t look beautiful. That’s what Patrice and her team provided me, security. I felt so secure in my choice to hire her from the very beginning. I had two trials and both went amazingly. We connected through our love of reality tv and her awesome music taste. On top of her amazing personality and skill in makeup and hair, she provides spa services too. I’ve had my lashes and a facial done by her and was so relaxed I will definitely do it again. Even with the challenges of having bridesmaids added to the schedule late, the early ready time and girls being late the day of, I was at ease because I knew she had me covered. I know that she started down this path for her mother and I’m sure she is making her proud. I was so excited to see her the day of and I’ll be so excited to utilize her services in the future.
I don’t have enough gratitude for the MU8 team, since day 1 everything was so personalized. Patrice was very attentive and answered all my questions every time I needed, we had a g...
reat time during my trial and her facial service was so nice before my wedding just what I needed to relax. During the wedding morning all the team was great, they blended with my girls and we all had the best time while getting ready (also good for my nerves!). Frankie did my makeup and I was so happy since she knew exactly what I wanted. We were told at our venue that our party was one with the most dances all night but all our hairstyles and makeups last until the end! I would recommend the MU8 team to anyone looking for makeup artist without any doubt!
MU8 Bridal Beauty is amazing! Patrice and Madison were so sweet and did amazing work with mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Patrice is such a great business owner and is rea...
lly on top of everything. From the very beginning she was always available and super communicative, informative and organized. You can tell Patrice has a lot of pride and passion for her work because she gives it her all and it shows!

Incredibly amazed by and grateful for both Patrice and Frankie!! They have AMAZING artistic vision and are also so incredibly easy to work with. Cannot emphasize enough how much I ...
would recommend both of them!
The trial was already great, but they listened carefully to my feedback and implemented changes on the day of. I was SO PLEASED with the result! :D :D Really love them.
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!
We cannot say enough nice things about Patrice and her team. Large settings like weddings are tough for me, so as a Bride, it was so important for me to find the right team that I ...
knew would bring the energy I needed to start my wedding day. Patrice was absolutely that perfect match. From my trial all the way through to my wedding day, I felt so empowered to look and feel my best just based on Patrice's professionalism, attitude, energy, and the overall wonderful way she runs her business. Me and my entourage looked AMAZING. I booked for just Bridal makeup because I had a family friend do my hair but for my bridesmaids/mom/flower girls, they had both services (hair & makeup) and they looked just incredible. Patrice was able to set up a schedule/team for 12 people for hair and makeup with all different hair and skin needs (I had a diverse bridal party and needed someone with the skills to do all hair types and skin tones which I found were rare when searching for hair and makeup vendors), and get it all done before Noon, an absolute miracle but she didn't even sweat it! We are so thankful for her time and her skill. I have never looked or felt more beautiful in my life and it is 100% because of Patrice.
Patrice and her team are so talented. Patrice did my bridal makeup and Madison & Frankie did all my girls and they all looked fabulous (and our makeup somehow looked exactly the sa...
me at the very end of the night!). The minute I spoke with Patrice, I knew this was the right company for me. Her work speaks for itself, but minute I actually spoke with Patrice, I knew this was the right company for me. She is seriously so much fun, she was 100% my hype woman the whole morning. The energy she brings is impeccable. It is impossible to have stressful thoughts when this team is in the room.
What I really loved is just how attentive and organized she is. This is someone who really cares about every person she works with. She encourages full honesty in the trial process and made great suggestions to enhance my skincare routine to ensure the makeup held up to its fullest potential on the wedding day.
Patrice, Madison, & Frankie - thank you guys for the best makeup experience I could have asked for!
Patrice did the makeup for my wedding and WOW! It was amazing. She is amazing. She is super talented and her positive and fun energy is exactly what every bridal suite needs. She r...
ecommended changes for me after my trial, and everything was spot on - my makeup turned out even better the day of and looked flawless all night. Highly recommend Patrice!
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 th...
e 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!
Patrice at MU8 will make you the absolute most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day. I was convinced that my pin-straight hair would not hold a curl and that a full fa...
ce of makeup would look unnatural on my skin. Patrice and MUA Frankie proved me wrong - I have never looked better, and my hair and makeup did not budge an inch through a full day of photos, chatting, crying, and dancing.
When I began the search for hair and makeup artists for my sister (MoH) and me (bride), I was hit with a lot of red tape - salons that tried to corner me into packages I didn't want, artists who had huge fees to do on-site services for only two people (or who wouldn't do them at all), etc. Patrice was a breath of fresh air. She listened to my questions with patience, gave me straight-forward advice, and listened to feedback. Patrice, Frankie, and I had so much fun during my trial that I didn't want to leave the studio. And when my wedding day came around, I had zero stress about how I was going to look - I knew I was in good hands. The MU8 team are stars.
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 que...
stion 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!
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 we...
dding 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.
I cannot even put into words how much I have loved working with Patrice. She was one of my absolute favorite vendors to get to know and work with. I had been connected with her ver...
y early in my engagement and followed her on social media for nearly 2 years prior to our wedding so when it finally came time for MY big day I was overwhelmed with happiness and emotions! I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and I could not have done it without Patrice's magic. I wish I could 500 more stars to share how incredible she & her team are!
Hire Patrice & MU8 right now! I used MU8 for my wedding and could not have been more pleased with Patrice and her team. I had eight bridesmaids, three moms, and myself all get serv...
ices for my wedding and Patrice and her team got through us all with speed and efficiency, but by not compromising on style and quality. Patrice's team traveled to my venue and created our schedule for the day which took a lot of stress off me! I received a few comments at the end of my wedding about how well my hair and makeup help up, especially after how much I was dancing and sweating! Patrice's whole team was fabulous, but Patrice and Frankie were my personal stylists and I ADORED them. I can't recommend them enough!
