Audrey is incredible! I don’t know much about makeup- so I just told her what I was aiming for and put my trust in her. Needless to say, she surpassed my expectations. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did after she did my hair and makeup. She’s not only a talented stylist, but also a great person to work with. She brought a fun and kind-hearted energy, which is much needed when getting ready on a busy wedding day.

I truly had the absolute best experience working with Anomalie Beauty for my wedding this past weekend. Dani and Colette were so helpful throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer my (many!) questions. I knew after my bridal trial that I was in great hands with Kayla (hair) and Amanda (makeup). I also ended up scheduling Amanda to do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner, and I loved the look she gave me! On the wedding day, Kayla and Amanda were professional and also so fun to get ready with. The entire bridal party looked so stunning. I would 100% use their services again in the future!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have a history of hating my hair and makeup anytime I get it done, because it doesn’t look like “me.” And I really wanted beauty that felt just like me but elevated for my wedding day, and WCG was just that! They do soft glam so well - during my trial, my makeup couldn’t have been more perfect. No notes. I ended up after the trail having some doubts with my hair, but on the day of we course corrected and I was so much happier with it. My makeup - still perfect! It lasted 10 hours and 4 hours of dancing without budging.

They're an experienced, on-time, quick to respond, and always organized on-site bridal hair and makeup team that consists of only seasoned artists who connect with their clients on every level to create exactly what you need, accommodating all skin tones and hair textures.

    I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

    Eliora, Kristin and Lauren come to you with too many years of experience to count (it would give away our ages!) in the hair and makeup industry. All professionals trained with various backgrounds (from theater to photography), they came together because they had the same idea for a bridal team: talent, professionalism, customer service, get the job done ON TIME and leave with everyone smiling.

    We had a great experience with We Only Do Pretty! We had them do hair and makeup for me (the bride), all the bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and the flower girl and everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out. I prefer a more natural look and Eliora and Taylor did an amazing job with the very limited input I provided. I have been in several weddings and this was by far the most relaxed getting ready I've had and we were done early! Would definitely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

Erin specializes in luxury en-suite + on-location hair services.

        Erin immediately made me feel comfortable from the first email to the final touches on my hair. She was receptive of initial ideas and feedback along the way, explained why some styles would or wouldn't work with my hair, and then talked me through her decisions during my trial. She made everyone smile, laugh, and love their hair. I recommend her though and through!

          A love for the creative and performing arts, three years of collegiate studio art training, and a BA in Dance Performance lead to Joey’s obsession with makeup artistry. His approach to makeup application is similar to a painter and his canvas - working in layers, stroke by stroke, to find a beautiful end result. Beauty comes in all forms: a simple flick of eyeliner, an enhanced complexion, or full-on glam. It is Joey’s passion to identify the “perfect” look for the occasion and work with his clients to create a truly beautiful result that leaves them feeling their best.

          I hired Joey for myself and bridesmaids for my wedding. He and his assistant Gisele did an incredible job and ensured everyone looked and felt beautiful. Can’t recommend enough!
