Terrible way to do business. It was for my 20th wedding anniversary party. First When I contact Kelly, I just needed my hair done but Kelly said since they have to travel so far it has to be package as hair and make up at total price of $160.00. Even without make up $160.00 was reasonable for me so I agree to do it but I requested only eye make up because my skin break out easily and I didn't want her to do anything else. I Paid Deposit of $50.00 She clearly said now you would only owe $110.00 please have cash ready for the girls. My hair came our terrible she had to take part of it down and re do it. still didn't help. I ended up fix it my self in the bathroom. The worst part is the make up. Since I only asked them to do eye. I already had my base make up eye brow done when they arrived. Girl wanted me to wash my face and offered air brush. I asked her what is the deference, then she said it's same but last longer. I explained to her about my skin and she said she use mac which I have used before. After all done I owed them $151.00 plus traveling fee of $20.00 plus 18% of tip. even with my $50.00 deposit. I spoke to Kelly and she changed her story, would not admit our conversation. The $50.00 air brush was never mentioned to me. I did not want them to ruin my special day. So I paid as they requested. then text Kelly how they do business is very dis honesty. Instead of apologizing Kelly text-ed me 8 times harassing me while I'm having my party.. I had to ask her to stop text. terrible terrible. She blamed on the girls not herself.. Kelly the owner is bad business person. read more

Kelly helped make me feel like my best self on my wedding day! So happy with the results and would highly recommend her!

I got married on October 11th at Caesars and Smooth Brides (Michelle) did hair and make up for my Mom and I. She was on time, super nice, and did a GREAT job, especially on my makeup. I got the airbrush and got so many compliments on it - it literally made me look like a model in a magazine. The hair was good too, I wasn't thrilled with it but I know clip-in extensions are hard to work with so thats probably partially my fault :) She did a great job on my mom's hair. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is because my communication with the owner Kelly was a bit odd. I booked with her, paid the deposit, then asked for a trial. When she replied, she asked me to pay the deposit again (I'm assuming she didn't remember that I already booked with her, which spooked me a little bit!) I didn't end up getting the trial, and I got Michelle instead of Kelly which I wasn't told about ahead of time, but everything turned out good. I would recommend Smooth Brides. read more

Smooth Brides - Hair and makeup by Michelle - Makeup Artists Near Me

When my Fiance and I decided to get married in Vegas I was SO nervous about not having my regular stylist with me. I was nervously browsing through yelp to try and find my stylist for that day. I came across a few stylist but I am VERY picky and didn't like their work. Then I came across Smooth Brides. I looked at her pictures and thought...PERFECT! when I called to book her she was VERY polite and accommodating. After I hung up the phone I felt good with my choice. So here we are on the wedding day and she calls me 15 minutes early (a HUGE plus) to tell me that she was already here and If I wanted to get started if not she would go to the cafe and wait until I was ready. When she came in She had all her supplies neatly packed. I showed her pictures of what I was wanted and she duplicated beautifully!! Even better then the picture. As for my makeup I chose to have my foundation airbrushed on. I HIGHLY suggest going the airbrush route. I looked flawless she gave me beautiful smokey eyes and had lots of eyes shadow colors for me to choose from. She also gave me false eyelashes that looked natural and very Hollywood classic! When I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe my eyes!! I have never seen myself look so beautiful...and what better day then my wedding. She was also very friendly we talked the entire time. She also does makeup for some pretty big Vegas shows as well! I can honestly say that my hairstylist back at home has some stiff competition now! If you are an out of towner getting married looking for a stylist you WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED! FYI: she requires a mini deposit once you decide to book her...but worth it!!! read more

I got married two weeks ago and Kelly did my hair and makeup. I love her! She was so pleasant, calm, and punctual and she came to my hotel! Even when her curling iron miraculously malfunctioned, all she said was, "Wow, that's inconvenient" and proceeded to curl my hair with a flat iron (something I didn't even know you could do). And my hair came out exactly how I wanted it to (it looked just like, if not better, than the picture I showed her for inspiration). And her placement of my blusher (veil) was beautiful; even better than I pictured it in my mind. My makeup also came out gorgeous. It was natural-looking, but still gave me an extra pop for my special day. I did not buy the airbrush package, but my makeup stayed on all through the night. My appointment was at noon and I didn't go to sleep until about 2am, so that is definitely saying something! Kelly is super talented and wonderful. I wish I lived closer to Vegas, so I could use her again! read more

Smooth Brides - Kelly at Smooth Brides is da bomb! - Makeup Artists Near Me

See all

I was married 4/30/2011 in Las Vegas & I'm positive that Kelly's make up, hair, and communication talents made my day extra perfect! I was so lucky that I booked Kelly and Smoothbrides. It is quite nerve racking not knowing exactly what your hair & makeup is going to look like on your wedding day But if you book with Smoothbrides you will not be dissatisfied. Kelly was calm, patient & easy to talk with these qualities are all wonderful and are exactly what a nervous bride needs on her wedding day. Most importantly I looked & felt amazing! Thank you Kelly! read more

Kelly is awesome! I wasn't sure how to go about things when we decided to get married in Vegas. I read reviews on yelp and decided to call her. It was a BIG plus that she was willing to come to my hotel to do my hair and makeup. She and the girl who helped her were great! (sorry forgot the other girl's name). My 2 friends and I did our hair and I did hair and makeup. Kelly did a great job with my makeup and hair. I HIGHLY recommend the airbrush. The pictures look amazing and my eyes really stood out. She even did my niece's hair at the last minute and was very patient with her. She is friendly and very accommodating and I highly recommend her. Thanks!!!!!!! read more

Kelly is the best! I got married in Vegas, but I live in L.A. so I was a little worried about finding someone great to do hair & makeup for my bridesmaids and me. I looked at a few websites and liked Smooth Brides the best. Everyone in the gallery looked beautiful, but not over-done. I emailed Kelly and got a response almost immediately. My mom & I flew out for a trial and afterwards we knew that Kelly was the one! The girls & I were thrilled with our hair & makeup on wedding day! Kelly is so nice, she really understands when you tell her the look you are going for, and she makes great suggestions as well. There was an assistant doing hair on our wedding day, and she called the morning of to say that we had to move our appoinment up an hour, which was a bit stressful, but she did such a great job that I can't really complain. I highly recommend Smooth Brides if you want to look and feel your best on your wedding day! read more

I am very annoyed with people who turn down business. I called to get a quote and book an appointment for my makeup. As soon as I said I was not getting my hair done, her tone switched to very annoyed and like I was wasting her time. She didn't give me a quote and said she was booked for the date I asked for. I would have gotten my hair done as well, I wasn't aware there was a package deal, maybe she should have stayed on the phone a bit longer and asked a couple of questions. Being in the beauty industry myself, I treat them well and so do my tips, but hey her loss, I will pay somebody else! read more

Kelly did my hair and makeup for my wedding May 2014. She was absolutely amazing! She was on time. Listened to what I wanted and did a beautiful job. My makeup lasted all night! My curls stayed (which never happens when I do my hair) I was really impressed. I recommend Kelly to all Vegas brides! read more

I absolutely loved Kelly's work she did for my wedding. She communicated with me by e-mail in a timely manner, she showed up at my hotel room on time at 9am and she was VERY easy to talk to! She did a great job with my hair and make-up; both lasted not only through the Las Vegas heat in the middle of Aug. but way past my wedding at 3pm. I can't even count how many great compliments I had that day going from Planet Hollywood where we stayed to the Stratosphere where our wedding was. Also, I have a ton of beautiful pictures that show how great of a job she did!! My wedding day was better than what I imagined it would be because of her great work. I would recommend Kelly in a heart beat!! read more

Kelly is AWESOME. I wasn't a bride, but wanted to look great for a night on the town in Vegas...she arrived on time (despite the hotel parking lot being FULL)... and was really easy going and knew her stuff! She "talked me into" fake eyelashes and I'm totally hooked now!! Next time I'm in Vegas with my girls, I will absolutely have Kelly come and pretty us up!! I can only imagine I would be just as thrilled with her services if I was a bride!! Highly Recommend!! :) read more

Kelly did both my and my mom's hair and make-up for my brother's wedding on June 6th. Although we booked her the day before during the busy June wedding season, she squeezed us in. She did a fantastic job. We both got airbrush makeup, which lasted all day, even in the heat! And I loved how she curled and styled my hair, which is naturally straight and thick and hard to curl. I would definitely recommended Kelly and use her again if I attended another wedding in Las Vegas. read more

Got married in Vegas on May 5th and there were 6 of us getting our hair done that day. As usual, I waited until the last minute to make a reservation for something and got a hold of Kelly about a week before the event. Kelly was prompt in responding to my inquiry and giving me a quote for her services. Luckily she was available for us that day. Kelly and Blanca met us at my hotel room. There were 2 short hair and 4 updo's and these girls banged them out in about 2 hours ! These girls were a pleasure to work with and they did a great job with everyone's hair. She offers make-up and spray tanning too if you need them. I would recommend Smooth Brides and would definitely use their services again for a special event in Vegas. read more

I spoke with/emailed Kelly several times prior to my wedding day in February 2017. I was flying from West Palm Beach to Las Vegas and her company was referred to me by the wedding chapel. Kelly was very accommodating by changing my appointment for makeup and hair allowing more time than we originally planned since she was shuffling a busy schedule while taking into consideration travel from the strip to the Marriott Resort and Spa in Summerlin. Her professionalism made me feel cared for; I knew that all would turn out well. I liked that she responded to questions and concerns right away during the prior weeks of planning. Unfortunately, Kelly was ill the day of my wedding but, she sent Stephanie Peterson who lived near Summerlin. Stephanie was right on time. We spent nearly two hours together and chatted which made me feel relaxed and confident. I would recommend Smooth Brides for any special event! read more

I was an out-of-town bride traveling to Las Vegas to get married. I found Kelly online and was pretty impressed with her website (the "before and after" pictures). On the day of my wedding, Kelly showed up on time and I was pleasantly surprised by her upbeat personality; she was very easy to talk to and accomodated our needs (there were 4 of us getting hair and makeup done). She was also very professional and knowledgeable about hair styles and make up. Before Kelly did my hair and makeup, my biggest worries were not looking my best on my own wedding day. (I am sure this is the biggest concern for all out-of-town brides!) She was very patient and asked me questions to find out exactly what I wanted to look like. In the end I was EXTREMELY satisfied with the hair and makeup she did. (I even tired the air brush makeup) Throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, I kept on getting compliments on how beautiful I looked. The vender of our wedding ceremony, who also provided photography services, even offered my husband and me "modeling discounts" and told us that the photos turned out so stunning that they wanted to use our photos for advertising and promotional purposes! For those brides getting married in the Las Vegas area, I STRONGLY recommend Kelly/Smooth Brides. She will make you look gorgeous and your best on your wedding day, no doubt! read more

The best team I could have asked for! My wedding was earlier this month Nov. 1, 2014 at the Flamingo Garden Hotel and everything came out beautifully, and it started with hair and makeup. I will say that I'm not generally picky, I am a simple as little as possible of everything kind of gal. ALL NATURAL. But understandably on my big day I wanted my makeup and hair to be remarkable as they were going to be forever captioned in my memorable pictures. My bridesmaids on the other hand, are a bit more particular than I so they were the ones I was worried about, however, with no need as everyone LOVED their looks and so did the other guests as we were endlessly complimented. The hair stylist and Kelly strategically came one at a time with Kelly starting on makeup for Bridesmaid as the bride (myself) was getting hair done. This assisted with easy transition and everyone getting the time they needed. I was going for braids incorporated in all bridal party hair. My bridesmaids whom have short to shoulder length hair had a cute french crown braid and I had a beautiful tucked french braid undo. I arrived with pictures in hand and for both makeup and hair discussed formalities and agreed to a look prior to. It was not, an I want exactly this idea but I had option at least 3 for all of us and we made a group decision. They came to the hotel which was nice as we could do things at our leisure. The conversations were good and overall a very calm, peaceful and worry free sitting. Bring cash, as is a cash only exchange, mid priced and worth every penny. I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

I hired Kelly to do my hair & makeup while in Vegas. She done a phenomenal job! ! My hair stayed looking good for 3 DAYS! ! I highly recommend her! ! read more

It was my wedding day and Kelly made a real princess out of me. I would like to thank her sincerely - the makeup was perfect, the hair was great! And everything was pretty quick, though it stayed very long. The air-brush makeup is really awesome - no flaking, the skin is very smooth. As to the hair, it stayed even longer - about 3 days. So next time I'm in Vegas celebrating my anniversary, I will certainly meet with her again! My fiance (now husband) just loved how I looked! Just one small piece of advice to those who do their false eyelashes for the first time on their wedding day: try it out before as it may lead to not very pleasant consequences. One of my eyes reacted to the glue I guess. read more

I just got married in Las Vegas over the weekend. I booked Kelly about 2 weeks prior and she responded promptly to all my emails in a professional manner. Kelly arrived as she said at 11am to my hotel room. I must say during my entire wedding planning I was most nervous and scared that my hair and makeup would not turn out. I must say when Kelly showed me my makeup I literally started to cry. I felt like a princess! I apologize Kelly as I cannot remember the name of the hair stylist but she was also amazing!! Thank you for making me look beautiful for my special day. I highly recommend Kelly for your wedding hair/makeup! Thank you!!!! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a few weeks. Kelly was awesome. She got to my house right on time and did a great job. Every single person had compliments for me and I felt so pretty.. The make up was the best I've ever had done and the hair was excellent too. I have no complaints she is worth every penny. Thanks Kelly ;-) read more

I highly recommend hiring Smooth Brides. Kelly did an absolutely amazing job on my bridal hair and the makeup and hair for my some of my bridesmaids and my mother. She was such a pleasure to work with. Kelly was so sweet and considerate of all of my needs. I had a great hair trial; however I kept changing my mind of what style I wanted to go with for the big day. Kelly was very patient with me and helped me pick a hairstyle that was right for me. I was so pleased with the way everything turned out. My maid of honor looked great with the updo that Kelly created for her as well. She had a bob style haircut and was concerned about what to do with her hair. Kelly created a beautiful french twist for her. Thank you Kelly for making us look beautiful! read more

WOW! Kelly saved the day with my Bridal Party hair and make up. We had another lady on hand to help out as there were five of us, but Kelly's work was outstanding - therefore we all wanted her to do ours! This was no problem for her - she was happy to spend the time on all of us. I showed her one picture of the hair I liked and she copied it perfectly. The other girls weren't sure of what they wanted but Kelly used her knowledge and experience to create beautiful hairstyles and make up for them all. They all looked amazing! The make up is brilliant - I would definitely recommend the Airbrush, it stayed on all day. And I didn't want to take my hair out the next day because I loved it so much! All I can say is - if you aren't from Las Vegas and you're unsure of who to book, or if you don't have a chance to have a trial beforehand - book Kelly - she will not let you down! read more

Where do I start. Kelly was amazing. Arrived on time to my hotel. My hair and makeup look amazing! I traveled from Pittsburgh PA to Las Vegas to get married. I was so nervous not knowing anyone and wanted to look amazing for my wedding. Amazing was the understatement. Kelly took the time to talk to me to understand exactly waist I wanted. The air brush foundation was to die for! When I woke up the next day my hair and makeup were still perfectly on. I'm a very picky person and Kelly hit my look right on the nail! Don't hesitate to book with her. She will make you look amazing!!!!!!! read more

Planned my daughters destination wedding in Vegas from Texas. Read the great reviews and called on Kelly. We worked out the logistics of an 11 am wedding at Mandalay Bay Valley of the Falls with everyone at a rental house off strip. We had eight women including the bride needing hair and make-up. Once we realized photography was starting at 9:30 am for the bridal party I got a little nervous so I called Kelly and she had it worked out quickly. Send an army of people at 6 am and we would be great! The army was actually only 4 of the most amazing artists I have ever seen. I really wished I could remember all their names but they were so busy we didn't talk much. They showed up actually slightly early, set up and got right to work. I know Janel did the brides hair and some of the younger girls and they were beautiful! Stephanie was also working on some amazing hair styles. I want to say Michelle was one of the make-up artists and my families pictures were fantastic thanks to the incredible make-up work. At the last minute my mothers changed her mind and decided she would like her work done as well. Stephanie didn't miss a step and made the total for the morning 9 hair and make-up in 3 hours. Yes we were done by 9 am and plenty of time to make out appointment with the photographer. I cannot recommend Kelly and her team highly enough. Excellent communication, planning and some mad skills! Thanks again to Kelly and the team!!! read more

After doing some research I will not be going with this company for hair and makeup on my wedding day. Upon reading how the owner responded to people who left bad reviews appalled me. The responses were so rude and snarky and I don't want to deal with that if something were to go wrong. I emailed a picture of exactly what I wanted to see if they could do it because I didn't want to do a trial run and they responded telling me to set up a trial run even though what I wanted was very simple. To me that didn't show confidence in their work and felt like they were just trying to get an extra $175 out of me for a trial run. I asked another company and they said they could do it no problem and sent pictures of recent styles they had done similar to what I was asking for. read more

Kelly was amazing! So personable and made getting ready for my wedding day so fun instead of potentially stressful. She nailed the hairstyle and makeup I wanted and I couldn't have been happier with the results! read more

Kelly from Smooth Brides did hair and makeup for myself and my mom on my wedding day (Oct 2, 2012). I picked Kelly based on Internet reviews and the photos on her website. I was a little nervous because I hadn't booked a trial run and I was using clip in hair extensions for the first time that day. I couldn't have been happier with Kelly. She was always prompt at returning my e-mails and she made my mom and I look beautiful that day. We are both a little picky but honestly I couldn't have been happier. She showed up right on time and is an extremely pleasant person to talk to. I definitely recommend getting the false eyelashes. They looked excellent in the pictures. She did everything she could to satisfy us and make us look exactly the way we wanted. Thanks Kelly for making my day so special for me. Please don't hesitate to book Smooth Brides for your special day. read more

Kelly is Wonderful!! I have no doubt after having an appointment with her that the rest of her staff is amazing and talented. I found Smoothbrides.com by doing a Google search after seeing reasonable prices, and reading good reviews I paid the deposit and scheduled an appointment for the day of my wedding. Kelly came personally and was 15 min early (Which I loved!), She was easy and pleasant to be around, she was completely professional and gave me time to decide if I wanted anything changed after both my hair and make up were done. I looked stunning! Thank You!!! I would recommend Smooth Brides to anyone getting married in Las Vegas or surrounding areas. read more

I "found" Smooth Brides through the internet and arranged for Kelly to come to our hotel room for hair and make-up. My 3 daughters and I were planning to have a girls night out in Vegas and thought it would be fun to have our hair and make-up done professionally for our special night. Kelly was very responsive to my phone calls and email, arrived on time to our hotel and was professional, friendly and very talented. Kelly did our make-up and Janelle did our hair. Although our ages spanned from 25 to 60, my daughters and I were all thrilled with our hair and make-up applications and our "final results" were fabulous! It was a really positive and fun experience and we definitely recommend Smooth Brides to anyone looking for professional hair and make-up services. Sally from Boston read more

I got married 3 weeks ago in Vegas. It was extremely stressful trying to organize my hair and makeup from Australia as the salon I wanted to use at our hotel never replied to my emails. I stumbled across Kelly's website and loved the reviews, so I emailed her immediately. Within hours I had a reply. She was extremely helpful with my requests and didn't mind that I couldn't organize a trial. She was on time and did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. Such a lovely lady and extremely talented. I would highly recommend Kelly to make your special day stress free with the knowledge that you look amazing. Thankyou soooo much Kelly read more

I made a reservation for bachelorette party I told them ahead of time what time our flight was coming in and planned around that. When we arrived at the airport one of bags was lost so as soon as I found that out I let Kelly know and told her I didn't know how long it was going to take the airline to figure it out. She then told me she was going to cancel her stylist due to it being to late. I understood but asked for my deposit back since it was out of our control about the bags being lost and we were okay with the stylist coming later. Her response was no so I said fine I would take it up with my credit card company, then sends me a text telling me I should offer them $50. read more

Kelly did an amazing job! My husband and I decided on a helicopter wedding at the Valley of fire, since we are not from Las Vegas I decided on SB because of their amazing reviews. Boy am I glad I did! Kelly arrived on time and was an absolute pleasure to be around, I told her how I wanted my hair and she knocked it out of the park the very first time. My makeup was so beautiful that everywhere I went someone commented on how lovely it was. Not only did my hair and makeup look amazing it also held up against the helicopter headset and the wind! Five hours later after the wedding, helicopter ride, and dress change I was still receiving compliments on my hair and makeup at the strip. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Kelly! If you are thinking about booking Smooth Brides for ANY event PLEASE DO IT! read more

I think I looked ok for my wedding. If you really want to look fantastic, I recommend preparing photos in advance from magazines and perhaps doing a trial run with someone else. It took 2 hours for hair and makeup, but my hair didn't turn out quite right and there was no time left to fix it. My makeup seemed too heavy in the photographs later on and it was sort of rushed. We only had 10 minutes before the limo showed up. I thought I had been quoted one price from the website for hair and makeup, but we then ended up paying more. She added more for the fake eyelashes even though that appeared to be included in the website package. Oddly, we were told the additional amount was for tax and gratuity even though they only want to be paid in cash and gratuity is a tip. I also asked the artist to contour my face, but she just broadly brushed my cheeks with bronzer and didn't really cut the cheekbone the way I've seen other makeup artists do it. Oh well. read more

Kelly came and did my make up/hair this past Saturday. She did a fantastic job! Thank you so much & thank you for letting my daughter chat with you about make up! She was so happy about that! read more

I worked with Stephanie from Smooth Brides and she was amazing - I loved the hair and the makeup and all the advice that she gave me. I felt gorgeous on my big day! It was worth every penny! read more

Kelly does a wonderful job! Upon learning that we would be relocating for work, we moved our wedding date up by over a year and put together a wedding in three weeks. Kelly returned my calls and email immediately, and was able to work us into her busy schedule. Kelly and her assistant arrived early, and did and INCREDIBLE job on our hair and makeup. It lasted all night (and it was a long night) and photographed perfectly. My wedding photos did not have any retouching, and my face looked flawless. My friend does not normally wear a lot of makeup, and was worried about being "overdone" but she looked beautiful, and more importantly, still looked like herself. Highly recommended!!! read more

Kelly is an outstanding hair and makeup artist. She truly is an artist in every sense of the word! She came to my parents house to do hair and makeup on my Mother and I for my wedding. Her website is really user-friendly, so I recommend reserving and confirming your appointment that way if you have a special event to get ready for. I stayed in touch with Kelly by email and she always responded promptly. Her airbrush makeup and lipstick lasted all day - so did our hair! I received compliments all afternoon - and the makeup didn't feel heavy. Kelly is a true professional, I will definitely use her services again for a special occasion! read more

I just got married in Las Vegas this week and wasn't able to have a hair or makeup trial before the big day. Needless to say, I was a little bit nervous since I am very picky about my hair and makeup. Kelly showed up about 15 minutes early to my hotel and was happy to offer to get a cup of coffee if I wasn't yet ready. I had extensions in my hair and Kelly was able to work with them easily. I described what I wanted and she constantly checked with me to make sure I still liked it. My hair was curled exactly as loose as I wanted it, and did not move for the rest of the night without looking too shellacked. The makeup was also flawless. I was very nervous about using the airbrush, since I didn't want to look like I was wearing a mask. I typically do not wear foundation, but this looked so completely natural, I want to buy the machine myself! All of her makeup was MAC, which is my favorite and she applied it perfectly. I had originally wanted individual eyelashes, but Kelly suggested the full set. They looked amazing. I told her that I didn't want to look like a hooker, but wanted a little bit of drama on the eyes. Kelly delivered. Though I didn't have a full "reception" with dancing, my makeup stayed perfectly for several hours. I didn't need to touch up a thing and not one thing ran, smudged, or creased. The makeup also looks amazing in the pictures. VERY reasonably priced (I'm from New York) and would HIGHLY recommend read more

My apologies for the late review! I got married on 29th of Feb but finally got time to use Internet only now :) Good communication, Kelly also helped me to arrange the time for the appointment based on the time when I wanted to be ready to head for the chapel etc, as I was kinda lost and did not know how much time everything may take. She is punctual and showed up at the hotel room right in time, helped to choose the best hair style for me and made me all pretty for my special day :) I was nervous as it was my first time ever having hair and makeup done, but it was fantastic! Thank you so much for the great experience! read more
