Blush and Braids was super easy to book and work with. Sarah and Janessa did an amazing job for my wedding! I felt beautiful, and everyone in my bridal party did as well. Book them for your wedding!
Sarah & Team (Jessica, Lorraina, Brenda, and Mercedes) were absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding.

I am absolutely pleased with the makeup service my mother and I received from Yaricza. She was on time, very pleasant and patient with us. My 83 year old mother and I did not know exactly how to articulate how we wanted our makeup done for my daughter’s wedding. We just knew we wanted something simple and natural…
Used BBBB for my wedding, and they were amazing! Our artists were all super kind and very efficient! The entire party got compliments all day for hair and makeup, and they were very reasonably priced as well! As the bride I did rental extensions as well, and they matched PERFECTLY
I picked Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding mostly because of the generous reviews and the fantastic portfolios. All the images I saw showed such beautiful work and as someone who does not get their hair or make-up done often I was thrilled to work with people so knowledgeable and experienced. I ended up…
I had Symone from Blush & Braids Beauty Bar do makeup for my wedding, and she did a fantastic job! Everyone who had makeup done looked amazing, and it lasted really well throughout the day.

The team at Blush and Braids was so great to work with for my wedding! Everyone looked stunning! I was very nervous about hair and makeup as someone who rarely does either, and they all made me so comfortable throughout the whole process. I’ll be recommending their services to all the brides in my life 💞
Katie H did my makeup for my engagement shoot. She was great to work with! She was professional, timely and listened to what I wanted and also gave great recommendations. I was very happy with my experience.
Where to even begin... My best friend hired Blush & Braids two years ago for her wedding and did the bridal party's hair and makeup. I was blown away by how perfect, natural, and long lasting both services were! Obviously when I got engaged and secured a wedding date, they were the first people I reached out to!…
I used blush and braids beauty bar (Washington location) for my wedding and was more than thrilled with not only the wedding day looks, but their customer service is top notch! My first trial did not go well for a few reasons which I won’t get into, what mattered is how they handled the situation and responded. I…
Sarah was an absolute pro at my sister and mom’s makeup! An added bonus - we had the best time with her as we got ready for the wedding. She was such a delight!
Had a great time getting all prepped and ready with Sarah, Ren, & Mercedes! They were so fun to work with, and did such an excellent job. When looking for hair & make-up specialists, we were unsure who would be willing to work with a groom, let alone two grooms! We had a range of skin tones & hair styles in our…
Beyond thrilled that I worked with Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding. Sarah and team had been MU & Hair for my best friend's wedding and I had the pleasure of working with them as a wedding coordinator as well. From my trial through the wedding day Sarah did the best job with my makeup and Rafaela made my…
