Services Offered

When booking with Montana The Art of Makeup and Hair, a trial run prior to the wedding is extremely important to get the desired outcome. Trial runs are usually done about four to six weeks prior to the special day. The Bride will receive full makeup and hair styling with any headpieces and veils. The bridal party, who should also be present if possible, receives a complimentary makeup and hair consultation. The consultation involves going over details of the wedding, including dress colours, flower colours, skin tone, hair colour, etc. From there, they will have all the information needed to make the wedding day prep as smooth and stress-free as possible. This team of professional and talented mobile makeup and hair stylists will travel to any location, whether it be at the couple's own home, hotel, banquet hall, or somewhere else!

History

In 1987, Trula had the vision of creating a company that would cater to the needs of soon-to-be-weds in the comfort of their own home, with as little stress as possible. She believes that you should be surrounded by the people that you love and that care about you the most, instead of being just a number in a hair salon with a timeline.

Exceptional, affordable, friendly and high quality bridal makeup service

Trula provides an experience that you can't compare with other make-up artists. She is not only talented and well known in the wedding industry, but comes very highly recommended. Trula made my wedding day that much more special. She made me feel and look so beautiful. She gave me exactly what I was looking for and more. With the extra bonus of dedicated and exceptional service and quality of her services. I would also highly recommend you call Montana The Art of Hair and Make-up and look no further.

Felt and looked so beautiful!

Thank you Trula and Moni for the beautiful make up and hair for myself, my mom, four bridesmaids and four flower girls. There were so many people in the wedding party, and the mobile service at my mom's home is exactly what we needed on the day of my wedding. We glowed in our make up and it stayed all day despite my many tears during the wedding ceremony and speeches. It was nice to have the option of purchasing hair pieces and make up on the day of - particularly for pictures. The lipstick is also a nice keepsake of my wedding and it's definitely a color that I will continue to wear! Thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you very much!

I highly recommend Trula and Shirley for your wedding hair and makeup needs!
They are a fun and talented pair, and know exactly what will match your complexion/style.
Trula did an amazing job getting all my bridal makeup done, fast and beautiful. Shirley is incredibly talented at styling hair and such a sweet person.
These two can take care of you and your group was ease and a little bit of sass.
Also, not mandatory but Elvis may or may not be in your music playlist when getting ready

Amazing and friendly service

I am so glad I was able to find Trula, and have her and Moni work on my HMU for my wedding this past October. They were both incredible friendly and knowledgable about their craft, and didn't hesitate to give me wedding planning tips that came in handy before and during the day. Really thankful for their help to make my family and I feel beautiful for my wedding, and especially appreciative about their flexibility when I added a person last minute and when one of my bridesmaids was running a bit late on the day of. No regrets and would definitely recommend them in the future.

Perfect Day!

These ladies did amazing work! I was very happy with the trial, but completely blown away with the day of. All the make up was how I wanted it, completely natural. They were able to work with me even though it was last minute. These ladies completely relieved my stress and gave me so much confidence. The prices are also very reasonable. All these ladies are warm and friendly, and all with a great sense of humor, which help alot with a nerve rakced bride! Thank you so much!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

5 star is not enough

The ladies who worked with me, Shirley and Jessie were such a pleasure and made my experience much more special. Trula is such a pleasure to talk to. I was impressed with my trial, which I didn't think could get better, on my wedding day, WOW to say the least. These ladies actually helped alleviate my anxiety. I gave my thank you speech through a mic, something I'd NEVER do. The experience with these ladies helped me with that. Bravo ladies, your the best!!! I have added a photo, before I put on my dress....more to come!!!

Very professional, personable and responsive

Trula and Moni were fantastic! We had an early start because we had 7 people (myself, bridesmaids & mothers of the bride/groom) that needed hair and makeup before 10:30am. But they up and ready at our hotel before the time to make sure they had enough time to get everyone done. :) They listened to our opinions and made great recommendations for us. :)

We were going to do a half up/half down hair situation, however, since it was so hot, they recommended that we do all updos since they would last longer and would be easier to maintain during the day. :)

Trula was so nice and professional as well! We had our jokes about shimmer and sparkles, but she made sure that even without shimmer, that we looked fantastic for our photos! :)

I had to make multiple outfit changes throughout the day, and they made sure that the hair and makeup were versatile in the way that it looked great with both outfits. :)

Thank you so much!

Wonderful.

Trula and her team was very quick to respond to my request. With the short amount of time I had to plan anything I needed someone I can rely on ASAP.

She was amazing, she helped me figure out what I need to get done and what she needed from me. She made working with her very fun.

The hair and makeup was done wonderfully. I was quite indecisive to what I needed and she had multiple suggestions that I can try.

Highly suggested to give her and her team a call. Definitely happy that I had her in my corner for my big day.
