Additional reviews: I previously operated my wedding business as Faces by SAM when just working as a makeup artist, and then changed the name to Bridal Beauty Associates when I took on a business partner in the summer of 2011. In 2013 I left Bridal Beauty Associates to my business partner and took the year off to refocus my business and spend more time with my family. {You can view several pages of reviews for my individual weddings on their profile if you sort by date, as their profile was built on my old profile.} In 2014 I reentered the bridal field as Beauty by Sue to showcase my expanded service offerings and focus on a more personal boutique style approach to weddings.

Having someone else do your hair and makeup for your upcoming wedding? That's where I come in! I have over 4 years experience doing fully customized lash looks and 6 years experience as a spray tanning technician.

Sue goes above and beyond

I am so happy I booked Sue for my wedding day! She did my pre-wedding tan and wedding day makeup! She also helped my leading ladies absolutely GLOW by doing their makeup too! In the days leading up to my wedding, when Sue heard that my hairstylist could no longer do my hair after getting COVID, she immediately reached out to my hairstylist to try to help someone fill in so I didn’t have to stress about it! Sue is the absolute best and really went above and beyond to help me look (and feel) beautiful.

Beautiful Hair and Makeup

Sue did a fantastic job! I ended up doing two hair and makeup trials due to postponing the wedding for a year (COVID), and Sue remembered my feedback from the previous time and worked on updating my look a little bit. Also due to COVID my bridal party changed drastically as did our ceremony timeline, and Sue was really easy to work with to reconfigure the contract and services for the day. Sue is so sweet in person and provided tons of good makeup and hair tips to people as well, and she gave me good recommendations on skin care to prep for the big day. She also provides this really great packet of information for your big day - to include pictures of your trial looks, schedule for the day, and many other pieces of information that were easy to copy and paste for the other girls getting services. Most importantly, my hair and makeup turned out amazing - I'm totally obsessed with the look!!! I normally don't wear makeup at all, but I honestly forgot I was wearing makeup. It was really light and didn't feel gross by the end of the day, and she used individual fake eyelashes since those seemed to be the only ones that didn't bother my eyelids. When I initially told her that I wanted bright red lips (to match my "Lisa Frank" wedding color scheme) she actually had me try 4 or 5 various shades of pink and lighter red before putting the bright red on just to make sure that was what I actually wanted because it's so strong. I appreciated that she really wanted me to look my best and wanted me to be sure of what I wanted, and in the end the bright red lip was amazing!! My hair stayed up all day - which is incredible given the sheer volume of very thick hair that I have. I got so many compliments on my look, I have never felt more beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Sue to anyone, and I would use her again in the future. Thank you Sue!!

Amazing Experience

I cannot thank Sue enough for all she did to make our daughter’s wedding day so special! Her professionalism, kindness, calm demeanor, supportive nature, and true talent with hair and makeup set the tone for what proved to be the perfect wedding day for Caroline and Tyler. The assistant she brought along that day was equally kind and professional, and deserving of high praise for her talent and helping to set the perfect tone of relaxation while offering top-notch beauty services. Every one of us getting our hair and makeup done felt listened to and pampered, and beautiful!! Wonderful experience!
