I have a makeup trial this Saturday. The makeup artist name is natasha denis and her website is http://www.natashadenis.com/. Hopefully I can give you ladies good feedback on her because her pricing was great!
Hello my beautiful chocolate brides its nice to see a thread just for us. I booked a makeup trial with Patricia from Gypsy Artistry who's a sweetheart, but I wasn't 100% satisfied so I booked her again to give her another chance. I really liked her and felt comfy with her.

YA!!!!! Let's keep this thread going!! As AA brides I think we should really share aspects that would help other AA brides!
I'm searching for a makeup artist as well as a hairstylist that knows how to do some BEYONCE hair...LOL!!!![]()
How is everyone else's planning going? I booked most of my vendors except the videographer and the limo and hair/makeup. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. And if anyone needs advice on other vendors let me know as well :)

I'm using MIA for my makeup and hair.... she's great and a person of color so I trust her with my face and hair. I have Avanti Limo because they are in my package.

I had no idea MIA was African American. What are her prices like?
I have not been on the site in a while and am SOOOOO pleased to see this thread! I see some ladies are looking for a dj, we are booking with Energy Entertainment. The DJ's name is Kirk, very reasonable prices. I actually found him in a article in bride magazine. The couple was African-American and Jamaican. He had very good reviews and I love his personality. I am still in the same boat as everyone with the make up, my hair will be done by my beautician, I love her work so I know she will not fail me.

Thanks HopelessRomantic!
Thanks! Her prices are pretty good. I have a question for you ladies concerning bridesmaids hair. I think hair is always an issue for 'us' but when are your bridesmaids getting their hair done? I don't want them in the salon the day of but also don't want their hair to not look fresh by getting it done the day before. So I'm curious how you ladies are handling this. I was having someone come day of to do my hair.
Well for me, my bridesmaid got their hair done the night before. When they came to the hotel the day of, they just took out the pins and curled it a little bit. Everyone hair was out, because I hate up dos.
I had a trial with Mia and booked her for my wedding. She really is amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about her and I can't see how anyone could go wrong using her. She did my hair and make-up for my engagement photos and I honestly felt absolutely beautiful. I had the same concerns - wanted to make sure someone could work with my skin tone and my type of hair. I had no issues at all with her. She is familar with all skin tones and hair types. This was *very* important to me as my bridal party is a mixture of black and white!
