“Choosing Savannah and the JussSavvyBeauty team for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made! They provided hair and makeup for me, my grandma, my mom, my mother-in-law, and all of my bridesmaids, and every single person looked and felt absolutely stunning. I don’t wear much makeup in my everyday life, so I was worried about feeling overdone. From my trial to my wedding day, Savannah took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and created a look that felt natural, elegant, and completely me. I felt so confident walking down the aisle. Not only was everyone’s hair and makeup beautiful, but it also lasted the entire day and night without needing touch-ups. Through the ceremony, photos, dinner, dancing, and our sparkler send-off, everything stayed flawless. What truly sets Savannah apart is how wonderful she and her team are to be around. They brought such a calm, fun, and reassuring energy to the morning, making getting ready one of my favorite parts of the day. I had a few last minute changes with girls who decided last minute to get hair or makeup done and the team was very helpful and accommodating. They genuinely care about making every person in the chair feel beautiful and comfortable. If you’re looking for a bridal beauty team that is incredibly talented, professional, and a joy to spend your wedding morning with, I can’t recommend JussSavvyBeauty enough. They exceeded every expectation and helped make my wedding day unforgettable.”

“I hired Sarah to do my bridal trial for my upcoming wedding. From the get-go, Sarah was responsive, timely, and so kind. I felt like we immediately clicked. I'm not very experienced with make-up techniques or terminology, which wasn't an issue at all because Sarah explained everything thoroughly and was very patient with me. My bridal trial was perfect and I was absolutely stunned seeing my make-up in the mirror. It was natural, I wasn't freaked out, and I received a TON of compliments. On top of her expertise in make-up artistry, Sarah is a licensed esthetician and has been guiding me on tweaks to my current skincare routine to prep for my wedding day.

Hey, I'm Savannah! I am a NC girl with big city dreams. My passion for all things beauty began when I went to Cosmetology school. I began to work with talented makeup artists and hairstylists at Wedding venues and fell in LOVE with the vibe and artistry of special event styling. ​

“I wish i could get married every weekend, just so i could be with Savannah every weekend! She and the team that she brought were all incredible women who were great at what they did. My bridal party consisted of 2 mothers, 6 bridesmaids, myself, and three flower girls. That is a lot of hair and makeup to do! And they all crushed it. I was very clear with Savannah from the start that some of my bridesmaids had a lot of hair, as did I, and that the time to do it might be longer. She took that into consideration, and was very clear about what time we would need to start in the morning to be ready on time. And not only were we ready on time, but my bridesmaids had ample time to laugh, hang out, bond, and enjoy the day. The care and time that Savannah put into making sure every persons hair and makeup was exactly how they wanted it meant the world to me. She is a wonderful human, and spending my wedding morning with her was the best! Her energy made everyone smile. When it comes to my hair, I am nearly speechless. I wanted a party pony, and she gave me a PaRtY pOnY! It held up all night, and only had three Bobby pins in it! It was painless, timeless, and held all night. Thank you, Savannah, for your time, bright energy, and MUA and hair styling abilities. I felt like the Princess of Ginovia on my wedding day because of you.”

Caroline set up a bridal trial/preview with me several months before my wedding to try out what I potentially wanted to do for the big day. When I asked about hair extensions and which to buy she had several wonderful recommendations and told me how to care for them as I’d never used them before. She invited both me and my mom to her home salon for the preview which was lovely. Caroline is so kind and personable the entire experience was perfect. Now on the day of my wedding, she experience what NO stylist wants to experience which was car troubles. Not only did she have to have her car towed but she ordered multiple Lyft drivers until one agreed to drive her almost 3 hours to my venue. Talk about absolute dedication to me and my wedding day. She arrived in perfect timing and was able to complete all of my bridesmaids, MOB, and my hair FLAWLESSLY. She is an absolute angel. I could not have done it without her.

Hi, I’m Elle! I’m a Makeup Artist, Bridal Expert, and Licensed Esthetician with 18 years in the beauty industry. I specialize in bridal makeup ranging from natural and soft glam to full glam, always customized around you, your features, and your personal style. I’m based in the Raleigh area and work with brides throughout North Carolina, including destination and coastal weddings. I provide makeup services only, but I also have a network of hairstylists I work with and can provide recommendations if you need both services. Outside of weddings, my work includes special events, commercial, film, print, and makeup education. I also offer brow and lash services to all of my clients in a private studio setting.

“From the very first private message on Instagram, Ellevated Beauty's communication was exceptional. We seamlessly finalized all the contracts and details via email, and they were flexible when I needed to adjust the timeline and location. The email contracts were clear and concise, providing me with peace of mind. Ellevated Beauty's work was truly astounding - I was blown away by how natural and perfect my girls looked. I felt like the airbrushed version of myself, with my features elevated in the most effortless way. My makeup was the final touch that perfectly captured the old Hollywood charm I was going for, and the cat eye shadows were a spot-on interpretation of my signature style. Ellevated Beauty was punctual and efficient, working through all of my girls in an orderly fashion even when some were running late. They listened closely to all of our wants and desires, making us feel truly special and cared for throughout the process. I cannot recommend Ellevated Beauty highly enough for their outstanding service, talent, and professionalism on our wedding day. Most of this was written by the AI generated review thing but it did a good job and I agree with it all. I struggled with the decision to get makeup done by a professional but I have zero regrets and would like to take classes from her now if that were even an option. I'm the worst for being able to communicate what I'm going for, I showed the poor girl an AI-generated image as an example; she was understanding. I knew my look was something hard to explain but she nailed it. I felt perfect, the makeup showed up in photos, and it felt so light, I hardly knew I was wearing anything.”

“Christine and Caroline (hair) were absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about not feeling like myself on wedding day, and Christine made sure I was happy with my makeup every step of the way. She let me bring a couple of my own products that I knew worked with my skin and she also already had things in mind for me after our trial. She was super nice and easy to work with and did so good with my bridesmaids and MOB and MOG’s hair and makeup. I would recommend over and over! I felt so much like myself but also the most beautiful I have ever felt.”

“Beauty by Benz was absolutely AMAZING for my wedding in Washington, DC! From the very beginning, everything was organized, professional, and stress-free. She handled hair and makeup for me (the bride) plus 14 bridesmaids, and somehow kept everyone on schedule while making each person feel special and heard. My bridal glam was everything I dreamed of — soft, timeless, and flawless in photos from morning until the last dance. The bridesmaids all looked stunning and still felt like themselves. Every skin tone was perfectly matched, every hairstyle lasted all night, and the energy in the room was calm, fun, and professional. What really stood out was her efficiency and attention to detail. Managing a bridal party that large is no small task, but Beauty by Benz and her team executed it seamlessly. No one felt rushed, and the quality never slipped. If you’re a DC bride (or anywhere on the East Coast ) looking for luxury glam with amazing vibes and top-tier professionalism, book Beauty by Benz immediately. Truly a 10/10 experience!”

“Hailstorm Studios LLC was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding makeup. Haley, the owner, had a quick, clear, easy, and friendly communication style that put me at ease from the very beginning. Her work was truly amazing - everyone's makeup turned out exactly how they wanted, and it stayed on all night long, even through very sweaty moments in pictures and on the dance floor! Haley was super bubbly and friendly during the getting ready process, which helped keep the mood light and fun. I'd book Hailstorm Studios again in a heartbeat - the quality of the makeup application was wonderful and long-lasting. Hailstorm Studios was a wonderful addition to our day!”
