Toni Brides

Toni did a killer job on my hair and make up for my wedding. I just love what she did and received countless compliments. I looked like myself, but a super glamorous, gorgeous version. I just got back my wedding photos and am so grateful for the stunning work that will always show up in my photos. She also did my mother’s hair and make up for the big day and she looked absolutely beautiful. I had never seen my mother look so elegant and glam, she has never had her hair curled or styled in a different way before and Toni really encouraged her to step outside her comfort zone and try something special and festive, which really paid off.
I found Toni on one of the wedding vendor websites and what drew me to reach out to her were the great Before and After shots on her website. Those really display her technique and talent. I just love how happy and beautiful all the brides and mothers of brides look on that page. Toni was extremely communicative and friendly with questions over email, so we set up a trial.
I got to know Toni very well because we did three hair trials! I just wasn’t sure what I wanted my hair to do so I tried a few things. Each time Toni was extremely gracious, patient, sweet, fun, caring, and professional. She even made me a bagel when my stomach started rumbling. The more time I spent with her, the more she felt like a friend. She is a very soothing person to spend time with and we would chat about all sorts of things. As for make up, she hit it out of the park the first trial. We settled easily on the exact style I wanted to do and it looked amazing. She has lots of options which are figured out together in your trial– airbrush or traditional, natural eyelashes or adhesives, various stylings. It was evident that my happiness with my wedding look was important to her– she called me on the phone to discuss ideas after our initial trial when I realized I wanted something different than I initially asked for. She made me feel comfortable enough with exploring my own desires that I felt safe to do so, and in the end that was what I really needed to be THRILLED with the final look. Without her encouragement I might have settled for something that wasn’t quite what I wanted, so I really thank her for that. That is the kind of person you want on your wedding team, on the most important day ever to achieve your dream look.
On the day she was right on time and everything was as smooth as could be. We had already nailed down exactly what I wanted my hair to do, and she perfectly repeated her magic make up art exactly as it looked on our first trial. I felt so calm because I knew I was in good hands and with someone I enjoyed spending time with. It is so important on your wedding day to be surrounded by your trusted and favorite people – having my Bridesmaids and Mom and Toni in the suite with me that morning was just what I needed. She was one of the girls.
My wedding was during a crazy Indian Summer so it was 100 degrees in Mid-​October and my venue was all outdoors with no AC. We spent hours in the sun taking pictures before the ceremony, which I was freaked out about. Needlessly though – My make up did not need any touch ups!!! It looked amazing all night. My hair stayed as well! She finished my hair and make up at 11:30 am and I was at the venue until 1 am and didn’t even use the touchup kit she sent with me. I didn’t need to fix my hair or spray it– the bobby pins held it all up expertly, even with very minimal initial use of hairspray because she knows I like my hair to look soft and natural without product.
Check out the photos I’m posting of my wedding day hair and make up. Look no further if you need a make up and/​or hair artist for your wedding or photo shoot!

I loved my makeup on my wedding day! I had a trial a couple of months before the wedding to test out the look, which I highly recommend. Toni is professional and knows what she is doing. My bridesmaid and mom loved their looks as well. The makeup last all day and during the heat. On my wedding day it was close to 100 degrees and my makeup was still flawless at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Toni to any bride out there.

Toni has been great since the get-​go of my wedding planning for hair styling. She was super responsive to my emails and would even tell me if she wouldn’t be able to respond quickly due to being out of town. She worked with what I needed and the ever-​changing minds of my bridesmaids. Even when I needed to add a second stylist because I had so many women getting hair done, she added her assistant without hesitation and it felt seamless. She’s patient, understanding, super professional, and really a kind person. Toni is talented with hair and knows what she’s doing. She was on time on my wedding day which is so important; even though it was a Friday during the morning commute hours in LA. I would recommend Toni to any bride or for any special occasion.

I honestly cannot find a word that describes how truly amazing Toni is! She went above and beyond our expectations with all that she did.
— Toni did exactly what we wanted.
— I don’t think there was one person who passed by me and didn’t obsess over/​ask who did my hair and makeup.
— My hair and makeup stayed perfect all night.
— Her pricing is extremely reasonable.
— She is extremely sweet and friendly.
** Note: She is not only for weddings.
I had her do my makeup for an event, and was so impressed with her work! She manages to give you a natural glow and highlight all of your good features, while avoiding a «cakey» look. She is multi-​talented and made my hair look incredible also! I loved that she curled my hair without making them look like crunchy hair-​spray-​covered ringlets. She curled and braided my hair exactly how I had envisioned what I wanted.
I will absolutely be returning to Toni for future events, and will recommend her to everyone I know!

‘Toni is absolutely incredible!!! I did makeup trials with four different makeup artists and Toni Brides was the ONLY hair and makeup artist I would ever hire. She made me look like the best version of myself (several people told me I looked like a movie star). I felt so confident, gorgeous and glamorous and the makeup help up throughout the day and a full evening of dancing. My photos and video are stunning because of her! I hope to use her again and recommend her to everyone I know. Moreover, Toni is so lovely to spend time with and a calming presence on my wedding day. She spent an entire day doing a makeup trial for me, my mom and grandmother (who all adored her and her artistry). At the wedding, she had a blast with my bridesmaids, made my mom and I look drop dead gorgeous and perfectly accommodated my mother-​in law who was a bit nervous about having professional hair and makeup done. Thank you, Toni!!!’

One word for Toni is WOW!!! I was so amazed at how my hair and makeup came out for my wedding. I did a lot of research in finding someone for hair and makeup. I searched and viewed at least 30 websites/​portfolios. Every price range as well. One thing I must say is Toni is totally worth it! Everyone complimented me on my makeup just as much as they did my dress. For all my co workers who weren’t at the wedding but saw my pictures, the first thing was either your makeup was amazing or your dress was amazing. Besides her amazing work I can not say enough about Toni as a person. We had great conversations and I felt like I had known her for so long! Ladies you will not be disappointed. I will save you the trouble by saying go with Toni as I researched so many hair and makeup artist. She will make you feel like a princess!!!

Toni is a true gem! She is super professional, very friendly and most importantly delivers amazing work! Toni did hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding last weekend for 5 girls all on her own! Toni expertly made us look natural and glam– we all felt like a million bucks! She was so calm, even when we were running around freaking out! I can’t recommend Toni enough. So happy we found you girl!

Toni did my make up and I could not be happier. She spent a lot of time on my make up trial day to make sure she got the look that I was looking for. I was very impressed with her questionaire about my skin type and hair condition, which showed that she was willing to do her homework in matching my skin type with her use of product. Not only that, she used top of the line products on me, and even prepped me the night before the wedding day.
Overall, I am VERY VERY HAPPY and GLAD that I chose Toni to be my make up artist on my special day. She worked really hard and had REAL skills to bring out my best look. Definitely would recommend to all my friends and family. You will be so impressed with her skills!

I just did my trial with Toni and she did an amazing job. I was super nervous and worried I wouldn’t look like myself since I wear minimal makeup and leave my hair pretty natural on a daily basis but Toni did a great job highlighting my best features and keeping me as natural as possible. She is great to work with, super friendly and professional, and also knows what she is doing. I was able to show her a few pictures of looks that I like and she was able to find a way to make the looks work for me. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

Excellent make up artist! My eyes have never looked so beautiful!!!

Toni did an amazing job for my wedding. She is 100% professional and really did exactly what I was looking for. She is extremely talented! I would recommend her to all friends, family and clients for anyone who is looking to get their makeup or hair done professionally! ’

Toni is amazing! I just used her for my wedding and my hair and makeup was gorgeous. I’ve never felt so beautiful. She also did my sister’s hair and makeup and it was beautiful as well. My hair is long, sis’ is short. I also loved my trial. Toni was very detailed, listened to what I wanted, and asked for feedback afterward. She was very positive and calm on my wedding day; and arrived/​finished on time. I am writing this review on Unilocal because she has no reviews here yet!
