Crystal and her team were amazing!!! I am so happy that we made her part of our big day. We are a same-sex couple (two brides) and we had a large bridal party. We had a total of 14 people getting hair/makeup done. Crystal & company were able to accommodate us. Everyone was pleased with their service and looked beautiful! Zeroing in on the bridal experience, Crystal was very easy to work with from the very beginning. She is definitely an LGBTQ+ friendly vendor, and more generally is very open to different bridal styles. Her forms and paperwork really broke things down to aide in decision-making and impart clear information. The bridal trial was very thorough. On the day... Read more
Crystal and her team are insanely talented at what they do. This is the best bridal makeup I could find in Michigan and it did NOT disappoint! Beyond that, Crystal and her team are LGBTQ+-friendly, provide excellent advice and recommendations regarding hair/makeup choices, etc. At the venue, they made sure we were hydrated and gave us nifty heel protectors which helped with our balance when wearing heels for so many hours in one day. Crystal is very communicative and organized, which makes things far less stressful leading up to, and day of, the wedding.
When I was looking for hair/makeup for my wedding, I knew I wanted a team who could do both. I also knew I wanted someone who has extensive experience with my facial features. Crystal Drake did an amazing job for my mom, my bridesmaids, and myself. My trial was 4 months before my wedding, and I was able to schedule it so it was the same day as my engagement photos. Crystal is SO thorough and easy to work with. I was planning this wedding from a completely different time zone, and she was very accommodating/understanding of my schedule. She uses a portal which includes all of your documents/contracts/important information. One thing that really stood out to me about... Read more
If there is one thing to take away from reading this long review I am about to write, let me just say BOOK NICOLE FOR YOUR WEDDING ASAP! First, she is the most genuine, sweetest person you will meet and want by your side for your wedding day. Secondly, a make-up artist and esthetician all in one? What more can you ask for? When I found Nicole’s business and past reviews from others, I knew I wanted her for my wedding day! I have always been insecure about my skin and wanted to feel my very best on my wedding day, which is exactly how I felt thanks to her! I did her Bridal Boot Camp package (do it... Read more
Nicole is an absolute GEM!! Working with her leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day was such a pleasure. Nicole is not only incredibly talented, but she has the heart of a teacher. She taught me SO MUCH throughout my bridal bootcamp, from what types of facials would be the most beneficial to achieve my wedding day goals, to the types of skin care products that would work best for my skin long after the wedding was over. I started my skincare journey with her towards the end of 2022, and am still a loyal client over a year later! As for my wedding day look, we did a hair and makeup trial beforehand, and... Read more
