    Dream Hair and Makeup Team!

    We had an absolute blast getting ready with the Glimmer Hair and Makeup team for my wedding in October 2024! They were not only incredibly efficient in getting everyone ready but also delivered stunning hair and makeup that lasted all night long. Communicating with them was a dream; they were flexible with last-minute add-ons and made the whole experience so enjoyable. It was the perfect way to spend our morning and early afternoon before the ceremony—fun & relaxed!

    Heidi & Michael Rock!!!

    My wedding was this past weekend (6/23/24), and I am SO happy with how my (and everyone else’s) hair and makeup turned out! Heidi and Michael both showed up early at my house the morning of the wedding & were both so flexible, talented, and fun to talk to!! In addition to me, 3 others got their makeup done & 6 got their hair done (including my new husband who got some Viking braid half-up half-down action!!) and everyone looked fantastic! My junior bridesmaids (9 and 12) looked age appropriate but still glam enough to make them feel special for the day!! Michael also gave me extra lip product and a disposable applicator to touch up my lip stain throughout the day which was so helpful! My hair and makeup lasted all day even through me splashing waist deep in the ocean for my sunset portraits!!
    Thank you so much!! 10/10 would recommend!! (I’ll post pics when we get our gallery back!!)

    Disaster Adverted

    We had a large group getting our hair and make-up which can be challenging but when you add in that the florist was late with my floral crown, that is was WAY to big to fit on anyone's head, the flowers were the wrong color and the wreath was so thick you couldn't get a pin around it, it could have been a disaster. Michael redid my makeup to help cover the tears and the ladies set out to buy flowers at the grocery store, redo the floral crown themselves and find a pretty ingenious way to keep it on my head. Ironically, one of the things people talked most about, was how much they loved my hair and crown!!

    Thank you Glimmer for such an incredible experience. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! I appreciate all the hard work these ladies did! They got 11 of us gorgeous in 4 hours time. They’re extremely talented hair and makeup artists :)

    9/14 wedding

    We worked with Michael for all makeup needs and I cannot rave enough about him and his work! At the makeup trial he was so attentive and was able to understand my vision for my wedding look. For the day of the wedding he arrived early and kept the vibes fun all day! He made everyone in the bridal party look and most importantly feel amazing! My makeup looked phenomenal throughout the entire night. Would absolutely recommend Michael to any future bride in the obx!!!

    So amazing!

    Michael, Amanda, and Caitie are all SO AMAZING!!!! Myself and my bridesmaids felt so beautiful! They are all so nice and easy going and were totally fine with all of us cramming into a bedroom as we all bounced back and forth between hair and makeup. You seriously cannot go wrong with Glimmer but I highly recommend Michael and Caitie for makeup and Amanda for hair!!! They are seasoned pros and know how to make every bridal party feel so beautiful!

    Catie is the best!!

    We hit the jackpot when we booked Catie Thomas from Glimmer Hair & Makeup to provide all day of makeup for the bridesmaids, mothers, bride as well as the brides hair. Everyone looked amazing-- flawless. Catie was fun, kind, and super easy to work with. We highly recommend her for your event.

    SO happy with Glimmer!

    Glimmer did an AMAZING job on my wedding day. They absolutely nailed my hair and makeup. Not only that, but all 15 of the women in my getting ready crew (mom, sister, MIL, sister-in-law, niece, cousin, friends) were SO happy with their hair and makeup as well. The Glimmer team wad friendly, professional, and so lovely. Highly recommend!

    Flexible and Knowledgeable

    The women from Glimmer Hair and Makeup worked with us for my wedding this summer. They were excellent! There was a tropical storm headed our way and we were not sure if the Pier ceremony that was planned would be able to happen. They assured us that they would make sure we are prepared for whatever was to come. I planned to have my hair down and have extensions, but Brittany suggested that I put it up in order to combat the probable wind that we would be experiencing during the ceremony. I love what they did with my hair in the end! The makeup artist, Caitie, was aware that I prefer a natural look. She made sure that my makeup was seen in pictures but not overwhelming. My entire wedding party was very happy with their hair and makeup as well, and the ladies worked quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Glimmer Hair and Makeup for your weddings or other events!

    Great hair stylists!

    The Glimmer team was fantastic - from their quick responses their stylists' skills! I had my trial where I discussed my concerns with the style I had chosen. My stylist (Amanda) made thoughtful suggestions including a backup plan. On the day of the wedding, we decided to pivot to plan B based on weather and how my hair held the trial style, and Amanda killed it! I loved how my hair turned out. The bridesmaids hair all looked fabulous as well and everyone was happy :)

    Amazing hair and makeup services with the sweetest team

    One of my biggest fear as a bride when planning a wedding states away was having no idea of where to turn to for hair & make-up & Glimmer took this fear away! For my wedding day, we had a total of 14 people receiving services & they were able to get everyone done within a few hours (so no need to wake up super early which was a huge plus) AND the quality of their work was even better! One of the biggest compliments I got from my wedding day was how amazing myself and my entire bridal party looked. My MIL is someone who is very hesitant to have anyone do her hair and makeup due to bad experiences in the past, and after meeting Mollie and her team at my trial, I was able to talk her into it. When she saw herself on my wedding day, she cried happy tears because she was so impressed with their work! One of the best decisions I made was booking Glimmer!

    The Glimmer Hair & Makeup team were FABULOUS!

    Glimmer Hair and makeup was truly extraordinary and talented! Brittany and Lauren came to our wedding ceremony venue and expertly styled my two daughters, the bridesmaids, and me, the bride. Each of us had a unique hairstyle and makeup request and we couldn’t have been happier with the service from Glimmer Hair and Makeup. Brittany and Lauren were professional, friendly and fun! We absolutely recommend Glimmer Hair and Makeup for anyone looking for stylist to make their big day special.

    Glimmer is a MUST HAVE vendor!!!

    The Glimmer Hair & Makeup team were fantastic!! My wedding party and I had Mollie and Caitie do our hair/makeup and they are extremely talented. Mollie was extremely responsive throughout the scheduling process and scheduling my hair/makeup trial was a breeze! During my makeup trial, there were a few things that I wanted done slightly differently for the wedding and Caitie nailed it on wedding day. Mollie and Caitie turned my hair and makeup dreams into reality. I truly don’t have one negative thing to say about either of them or their work. They are both extremely kind and easy to get along with. Glimmer Hair & Makeup is a MUST HAVE wedding vendor! I couldn’t have imagined my day without Mollie or Caitie. Thank you both so, so much!!

    Glimmer Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Tia! We are happy to have had the opportunity to play a small part in such a memorable day in your life. We wish you and your husband the very best in your many, many years to come!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    Working with Mollie throughout the scheduling process was easy and she was very responsive and answered all of my questions. Caitie was awesome to work with for my hair/makeup trial and of course on the day of the wedding! She did such a great job with everything and was able to turn everything I described into a perfect reality! I had asked for a long braid with pieces around the face, but I was worried it wouldn't stay with the wind of the beach. The day I got married turned out to be so windy/rainy that we had to get married inside, but my outdoor beach pictures still turned out perfect and my hair didn't move or come undone! Not only is Caitie good at what she does, but she is also super personable and felt like one of my good friends or family. I would highly recommend working with Mollie and her team!

    I just wanted to reach out and say a BIG thank you !! Glimmer hair & makeup was an excellent team to work with. Brittany and Lauren were an absolute pleasure to work with and made my dream hair & makeup goals come true! Those two ladies were hilarious and kept my bridal party laughing throughout the day. I also was thrilled with speaking to Jenna as she was very response with any questions I had via email.
    Thank you all SO MUCH and I would love to work with you all again in the future!

    Fantastic Hair and Makeup

    First off, OH MY GOSH the women of Glimmer are FANTASTIC! Do not even think twice about hiring anyone else for your hair and makeup. My hair stylist just knew exactly what would look good on me and my bridesmaids and made us feel super special. She spent time with each of us showing us our hair and making sure we loved it. Which we just loved our hair! My makeup artist holy moly was she good! My two best friends are makeup gurus and they know everything about makeup and they knew she is legit. She made me feel like my childhood self always dreamt of looking like on my wedding day. I cannot thank Glimmer enough!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Kat and Livvy came out to the Hilton at Kitty Hawk Pier to help myself and my bridal party get ready, and despite doing both my hair and makeup trial with other people at Glimmer, I could not be happier with how everything turned out. My mom and my bridal party looked wonderful. And oh wow, as for the work they did on me? I don't have enough amazing adjectives. My hair was perfect and stayed in place despite the outrageous humidity. But the true work of art was my makeup. Kat worked wonders with an old school Hollywood glam look and I was in love. It also went no where in the humidity and heat. And that gorgeous red lip stayed fresh into the wee hours of the morning and my post reception celebration. I can't recommend Glimmer enough!

    Beautiful ladies!

    We had the pleasure of having Caitie do our airbrush make-up (complete with lash extensions… awesome!) and Brittany do our hair. We cannot say enough how kind and lovely they both were, and how they didn’t mind my dad being there watching the transformations of each of us! What a pleasant atmosphere and wonderful work!

    Wonderful experience

    Amanda and Kat did the hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaid and the moms for my wedding. They both did a wonderful job! Every one of us said how beautiful we felt! Kat really went above and beyond for my mom and her sensitive skin. I wish they could be with me everyday and make me feel that beautiful all the time. Plus- we all had a really good time getting ready together! I don't have my wedding phots yet, but I posted a picture from my sneak peek!

    Amazing Artists!

    I found Glimmer in July of 2020 through my wedding coordinator while searching for hair and makeup for my May 2021 wedding in Duck, NC. Their impressive portfolio on social media and their website sold me, and conversations with other vendors approving of their work sealed the deal! We had Lauren do my makeup and my mom’s makeup, and Livy did 3 bridesmaid’s hair. I did a trial when I was visiting the Outer Banks in August 2020. My wedding was not for another 10 months, but Lauren was super accommodating, professional, and friendly. Before my wedding, I changed the style/look that I wanted, and Lauren CRUSHED it day of! I had to put a lot of trust in her since we didn’t get a second trial and the first trial was 10 months earlier, but she did an amazing job of understanding what I wanted. My makeup lasted all day, night, and I even slept in it and it looked great in the morning lol. It lasted through MANY tears as well! My mom also loved her makeup. Livy listened to what all three of my bridesmaid’s wanted and pulled them off impeccably. Lauren and Livy traveled to our venue and made the getting ready process easy and fun. Thank you Glimmer team- you rock!

    Magical mermaid hair

    I can’t thank these ladies enough for turning me for my special day into a real life mermaid princess! All the little girls at my wedding stopped and stared as my headpiece dazzled and all the sparkles on my make up twinkled in the light! Thank you for making my day extra special!
