April 11, 2024 at 12:00 amNatasha (makeup) and Kelsey (hair) were amazing to work with! Competitive pricing with other local vendors in the Seattle area, and the entire B&B team was easy to communicate with. I decided to change stylists after my first trial and they were so kind to accommodate. I am not a daily makeup wearer and wanted something simple – Natasha pulled it off beautifully with the airbrushing and my makeup lasted all night! A little Washington drizzle couldn’t be helped, and I still loved the final look for my hair.

April 1, 2024 at 12:00 amThe BBBB team is incredible! The work they do is excellent, and I would book them again in a heartbeat. The owner, Sarah, has quick and clear communication over email. I need to give a special shout out to Heather, who did my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding. Heather is a miracle worker. She listened to all of my concerns regarding my skin, recommended great skincare products to use to prep, and made me feel so beautiful through all of the wedding occasions! She makes great conversation, listens to exactly what you want, and can flawlessly recreate inspiration photos. If I ever need HMUA services in the future, Heather & BBBB will be my first choice! Thank you for making me and my girls look fabulous on our wedding day!!!

March 28, 2024 at 12:00 amBlush and Braids Beauty Bar did an INCREDIBLE job on my wedding hair and makeup, along with the hair and makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, and four sisters. Each and every one of us received compliments all night on how natural yet glamorous our hair and makeup looked! I am an admittedly sweaty dancer, and my hair and makeup stayed in place even after hours on the dancefloor at my wedding! Sarah, Hung, and Eva made everyone in the bridal suite feel at ease, and were able to create beautiful looks on a bunch of different hair and skin types with no problem! Sarah was SO responsive throughout the entire planning process, always responding promptly to questions, and maintaining… Read more

December 2, 2023 at 12:00 amBlush and Braids Beauty Bar did a wonderful job with their beauty services. From the moment of the trial, I knew I was in good hands. Milian and Daniela were wonderful to chat with, and both were experts in their craft. I didn’t have a super strong vision, but they were able to brainstorm and play with me when creating the look. On the day, we had Nadia join as one of the artists to help maintain the schedule. The team were on time, followed the schedule, and we had plenty of time to relax and get ready. They also were very eager to listen, collaborate, suggest, and follow the rest of the party’s hair/beauty visions as well. Everyone looked stunning, and I felt beautiful.

October 1, 2023 at 12:00 amI had Fitemah, Sofia and Lerin do hair and make up services for my wedding and was really pleased with how everything turned out from all the artists. Communications leading up to the big day were also a plus. Sarah was very responsive and informative!

September 25, 2023 at 12:00 amBlush and Braids took care of me and my gals. There were a couple of incidents where they had to reschedule a makeup and hair artist at the last minute, and they even allowed me to do a retrial for free. They were very professional and quality on the day of the wedding, and everyone looked fantastic. Thank you ladies!

July 20, 2023 at 12:00 amSO AMAZING! My hair and makeup for my wedding turned out gorgeous! I worked with Jamie who was so lovely and she got done early on my wedding day. The process was so great. I had a hair and makeup trial and then I got an email asking how it went and any notes for Jamie. And after my wedding day I got another email asking how the hair and makeup went. It was really nice that they reached out to ask how it went and I got some time to think about if I wanted anything changed. Very affordable and worth every cent!!!!!

June 24, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m so glad I booked Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding. Shelby checked in regularly and was able to answer all my questions and come up with a schedule that worked with the rest of our timeline. My HMU artist Aleana was fantastic – she was able to create the look I asked for, and she listened to my feedback from the trial and made the right changes on the wedding day. She was even able to help out my groom, who had a bit of a sunburn from the day before. The whole team was great to work with and made the process stress-free.

March 27, 2023 at 12:00 amI worked with Sarah and Hung with Blush and Braids Beauty Bar to do the hair and makeup for me, my four attendants, my mom and my stepdaughter for my wedding in March 2023. From beginning to end this was a great experience. Hung did a fantastic job with everyone’s hair, including styling my mom’s shorter hair, doing five unique updos for me and my attendants, and styling my stepdaugher’s long hair. He is so sweet and incredibly talented and everyone looked fabulous. He even adjusted one updo when my friend changed her mind. Sarah did our makeup and her work was incredible.

January 2, 2023 at 12:00 amI was so pleased with the beauty services provided by Blush and Braids! Not only were they very affordable, everything was included (airbrush makeup, lashes, etc.). Eva did my makeup, including my trial beforehand, and made sure to follow up to ensure I was happy with everything before the actual wedding day. Savannah did my bridesmaids’ hair, and we were all impressed by how fast she worked to get us all done on time. It was a pleasure working with both artists and I would recommend them to any bride to help get wedding-ready!

September 29, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot thank the Blush and Braid Beauty Bar team and artists for making my wedding day hair and make-up services so beautiful. Sarah was very responsive and jumped right in when schedules needed to adjust, especially leading up to our wedding. Their services fit my beauty budget for my wedding and the value delivered is amazing. My hair and make-up lasted ALL day and beat out some outdoor temps in the 80’s. The team came to our hotel suite and was efficient at getting 15 hair and 8 make-up services done before we started first look and bridal party pictures. Shoutout to Samreen, Dana, David, Taylor, and Lerin- a great beauty team! I highly recommend using Blush and… Read more

September 11, 2022 at 12:00 amI found Blush and Braids beauty bar through good old fashioned google searching – the reviews seemed great so I went with them. I did a lot of emailing with Sarah to ask question and coordinate details – she was always very quick to respond. I did two trials with Alyssa for hair since the first hair style didn’t work for me as the day progressed (I have a sensitive scalp that’s headache prone). After some additional communication with Sarah and Alyssa, we found a great comfortable hair style that was a success in the second trial. I was paired up with Amy for makeup and loved the look she gave me – it was exactly what I wanted… Read more

September 5, 2022 at 12:00 amBlush and Braids Beauty Bar was fantastic! When I first got engaged a friend had a hair and makeup come to my apartment as a gift so I looked good for the party (surprise), that I didn’t know about. That’s when I first met David and he made me look incredible. So when it came time for the wedding I looked no further than Blush and Braids Beauty Bar. I once again used David for my engagement photos and he delivered 12/10 on my look. Sarah was fantastic at communicating with us the entire time leading up to the wedding and worked well with my day of planner. I also wanted to do a second hair trial to ensure… Read more

I first met Savannah and Lerin for my hair & makeup trials and with a couple of inspo pictures knew exactly what I wanted and nailed it on the first try. On the wedding day, we had Savannah, Lerin and Emelin doing me and my bridal party’s hair & makeup and all the girls were raving about how they looked and I felt SO beautiful as a bride.

July 29, 2022 at 12:00 amThe team we had from Blush and Braids Beauty Bar was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! The entire team was professional, timely, and open to what each of my bridesmaids’ had envisioned. Heather and Milian are excellent hair stylists that pulled off some incredibly unique and beautiful hair styles. Jeanette and Dalilah had each of us feeling glowing with our makeup looks. Prior to the wedding, Sarah and Katie were prompt with communication and always showed flexibility to ensure we were comfortable and felt at ease about the big day. My bridemaids are still commenting on how much they loved their looks for the day!! 🙂

December 27, 2021 at 12:00 amSarah is one of the most incredible make-up artists (and people) I’ve ever had a chance to work with. Blush and Braids Beauty Bar (stylist Sarah) did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos as well as my makeup and all of my bridesmaids’ makeup for our wedding day. Everyone’s makeup turned out fabulous and lasted for photos all afternoon, the ceremony, and dancing all night! I am so happy looking at the way my makeup turned out in photos—it was EXACTLY how I wanted it. I cannot recommend this team enough. Additionally, Sarah was such a fun and calming energy on the big day—the girls all said how much she fit right into the fun of the day.
