POP of Color

enjoyed working with them. They were a fun addition to the morning of the wedding and everyone's hair and makeup turned out amazing!!! They were all flexible with people's wishes and adaptable with any changes to the schedule. Elizabeth H and Elizabeth R did the bridal makeup/hair and wow, they exceeded expectations!! They made sure everything was perfect and I (as the bride) didn't feel like I was weighed down my the makeup and the hair was comfortable and secure for the entire day. Highly recommend!! Very talented group!!

up and wanted to feel our best selves without feeling overwhelmed. It was truly a joy to watch each of my bridesmaids, mother, and MIL see their hair and makeup for the first time- everyone was thrilled with it and also felt comfortable asking for something different, touch-ups, etc. Everyone's hair and makeup held up through many hours of ceremony, dinner, and dancing. Full disclosure- the only hiccup was that scheduling my hair/makeup trial was a challenge and required lots of follow-up over a number of months, then, a scheduling issue the day of accidentally cancelled my trial. It all worked out though as Melissa moved her schedule around to accommodate me and everything went off without a hitch. I think it says quite a bit that they were able to adapt to the situation and make it work (in life, things go wrong all the time, but the response matters!).

r simply because they had did 1 person of color (customer) on their Instagram page. Where as the other vendor had no diversity, so I decided to take my chances. I asked the owner of Pop of Color if they were comfortable with people of color and curly hair. She said yes. As a precaution I even sent pictures of everyone in my party including myself and again I was assured it wouldn't be a problem. Once I selected them I was told that although my package covered 3 people I would need to supply 4. I said okay since I was already planning to pay for four anyway. This is where the issues started. The owner would often take weeks and usually months to get back to me. I should have realized then that there would be issues to come but I figured I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they were always busy with weddings and my wedding wasn't until the end of the year so I wasn't high priority. Well, when I tried to schedule my hair and makeup trial, Melissa agreed to set it up and then never got back to me. I had to email her twice to get it scheduled 2 months after I originally reached out. Before my hair trial, I want to note that I went to my personal curly hair specialist to set my curls the day before the hair trial to make the stylist life easier. Once I got to my hair trial, the woman doing my hair told me I would be the 2nd curly hair person she ever styled. The first being someone this year who has looser curls than me. During my trial I had to teach the stylist how to curl my hair and was told that on my wedding day I would need to provide my own hair products and assist her in styling my hair. I didn't think it made sense that I would be paying someone $155 to use my products and have me also styling my hair. However, I still paid the lady and even gave a tip since I could tell she tried. I then went to my makeup appointment. The first thing the makeup artist asked me was if I was Brazilian. She said she's usually good at guessing these things and assumed I was Brazilian because I had tan skin and curly hair 🙃. I assured her I was not but again was polite and even paid her a tip as well. After sitting with my hair/makeup for a while (see picture below), I decided to reach out to the hair stylist and my wedding coordinator to say that I would be more comfortable going with a curly hair specialist that was recommended to me by my own personal stylist. Both agreed and were kind about it and I thought everything was okay. I could have shown pictures or made a big fuss but I tried to make everything easy. Then, Melissa reached out to me and said that if I was no longer getting my hair styled by their stylist, I would need to provide five people for hair. She then sent me a contract (that I had asked for a year ago). Obviously, I was not okay with this so I reached out to my wedding coordinator who talked to Melissa and we all agreed to go with the original agreed upon number of four people.I don't think I should have had to pay her for four if they weren't able to provide what they said they could but still, to keep peace, I said I would provide four but I did not sign the contract. Fast-forward to the week of my wedding.The makeup artist called me and asked me to tell her how many people she would be styling.*See screenshots for the rest of the review....

o design beautiful creations based on feedback from the women. They worked efficiently to finish everyone on time. Elizabeth H. arrived extra early as her colleague tested positive for Covid and couldn’t attend. Elizabeth was unflappable as she moved through the group applying makeup. She took care to highlight everyone’s features without a heavy hand. The result was a natural look that was beautiful in pictures. Highly recommend this group for your special day.

her some inspiration photos. Our makeup artist, Elizabeth, was knowledgeable about the products she used, and did a wonderful job with varying makeup styles and preferences. Both ladies were laid back, and were very personable! We enjoyed chatting with both of them, and were VERY impressed with how beautiful they made us all look!!!

dly, and a pleasure to spend time with. Melissa worked with me to ensure we had plenty of time to get my very large group of gals (10 each for hair and makeup) ready for the day, and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. I was particularly impressed with my bridal hair and makeup. I've had less-than-stellar experiences with professional hair and makeup artists in the past, so I went in with low expectations. I had my hair and makeup trial (which I highly, highly recommend all brides do before their wedding day) a few days prior to our wedding, and I was blown away by how Melissa made me look both like myself but also more beautiful than I've ever felt. Yulia did my hair, and during my trial I realized I didn't know exactly what I wanted. We got close but not quite to my desired look during my hair trial, and I was having trouble articulating to Yulia what it was I wanted to change (all on me, not her — she was a saint). So, I took the few days in between to figure out what it was that didn't feel quite right, and when I communicated that to Yulia on the wedding day, she completely understood and executed my desired look perfectly. I got so many compliments on my hair style, and I could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Pop of Color for their talent and also for their professionalism. Everyone we worked with was awesome and I can't thank them enough for making me and my bridesmaids look amazing!

all night about both my hair and my makeup, and they both did exactly what I asked for. I was an out of town bride and they made the process of planning everything extremely smooth. I cannot recommend Pop of Color enough!

made sure to double check everyone and complete touchups before leaving. The makeup artist did an amazing job as well. She made sure to periodically show you your look and see what changes you would want to make. I'd recommend Pop of Color, but the ladies we had in particular were great!

goddess and kept me smiling the whole time. 10/10!

all loved each of them. They knew exactly what to do to make us our most beautiful selves, while still looking natural and like us. Melissa and Elizabeth are also such sweet gals who made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, ladies, for being part of my wedding day!

married outside in July in the south, I was worried about my makeup looking good all night, and it did! Would definitely recommend.

wy and natural make-up and soft romantic hairstyles. These ladies are professional and friendly, their easy going attitudes help put pre-wedding hitters at ease .

My trial run was super easygoing and both my hair and makeup artist were super flexible about trying different things to make sure I was 100% happy! Melissa was so flexible with our booking and went out of her way to make sure all 11 of us could get airbrush and still be done in a timely manner! Special shoutout to Bethany, Haley, Elizabeth and Dee Dee who were our awesome stylists!

l! I received so many compliments on my hair and make up on my wedding day!

amazing to work with, they listened to what I wanted, and my hair and makeup turned out even better than I envisioned! I was in a panic the week of my wedding because I had a bad reaction to an under eye treatment. Elizabeth assured me she could cover it, and she really pulled through. You couldn't see any bruising/discoloration, it was full coverage but didn't look caked on at all and it lasted all night. She was so sweet, and was truly a lifesaver! You won't go wrong with either of these lovely ladies!

which turned out beautiful because they made me feel gorgeous from the inside out). Planning from out of town made in-person trials tricky since I changed my mind about how I wanted my hair up until the day of the wedding. Haley, specifically, was flexible and always excited to work with me. The Pop of Color team as a whole are professional, excellent at their craft, and truly kind individuals. All of my bridal party raved about how they loved their looks which withstood very hot weather, sweat, and lots of dancing! Can’t say enough good things about this powerhouse of women! Thank you ladies!!

y recommend!

MOB, MOG get hair and makeup done and everyone looked stunning. They showed up on time and got everyone done on time, and they were all super sweet to work with. Despite the heat, the makeup and hair lasted as best one could hope for by the very end of the night. Make sure you book them well in advance of your wedding date as they book up fast!

with hers, and Melissa helped make sure my vision for my makeup came true both during the trial and on my wedding day. She has a great sense of humor and made everyone in my wedding party feel comfortable and beautiful. My makeup lasted the entire evening and I felt like myself because she really listened to what I wanted, and checked through the entire process of applying makeup to make sure I was happy with how it was looking. I know I will look back at these pictures and always be grateful for the care and skill Melissa has to make sure I felt beautiful throughout such an important day in my life.

town and when we came up for my hair/makeup trial in March it snowed, but they still drove across town to meet us. They truly go above and beyond! And I can say that all three of us who had our hair and makeup done, it lasted ALL night. Not a single hair was out of place and I didn't even have to freshen up my lipstick! I could not recommend them more. 5 stars really isn't enough.

even until the next day. :) I would recommend her time and time again!

o the timeline and accommodate everyone’s requests. As an event planner, this was such a relief to have someone so on-top-of-it. Everyone’s makeup looked stunning, natural and flawless. Elizabeth is truly talented and passionate about what she does. She is the absolute sweetest and so laid-back and fun. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to everyone!! THANK YOU!! XOXO

hat they were a joy to work with and made our wedding experience all that much better.

of the wedding, Melissa came out to the venue and did an amazing job with my make up. My eyes were my favorite part! I used fake lashes for the first time and they looked great. The make up lasted all night long and everyone was complimenting how great it looked. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone in the area!

ra fee to travel to the venue. She was very sweet and made me look my very best! I did extensive research to find a good quality, yet affordable makeup vendor in the Asheville area, and Pop of Color was the best out there. I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in the Asheville area!
