If you want to look so good you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror… book this team!!! Mena did my makeup for engagement photos, boudoir shoot, and of course my wedding. I have never felt more confident and beautiful. If you are searching for an artist, I promise you have found her. Not only does Mena make you feel your absolute best, her team the day of gets straight to work and will make all your bridesmaids and family feel the same! I have been in multiple weddings where the beauty team is unorganized, rushed, or makes you want to wash your hair and face and do it yourself. Her team had a set pre made schedule for each of my girls, listened to their beauty visions, extremely friendly, and even my pickiest bridesmaids were blown away and obsessed with how they looked! Also, due to my venues schedule, we had to get ready at my house and her team brought their own table/chairs and left my house cleaner than it was before they arrived. I can not compliment Mena and her team enough! More...

Mena went above and beyond to help me after mildly traumatizing and extremely disappointing trial experience with a competitor. With a drive to make things perfect for you, she spent time consulting with me prior to a trial, color matched me for clip-in hair extensions, which she was very honest about the need for to achieve the look o desired, and overall put me at ease for one of the most important physical aspects of my big day. She did a beautiful trial, and incredible work the day off for me as the bride! Her team did a great job on my bridal party as well. My little niece was elated to have glitter added to her flower girl bun, and the team was so kind and patient with everyone. If you are a picky bride, Mena is the woman to work with! She truly takes pride in her craft, and I am very grateful she was available to help prepare me for one of the most important (and highly photographed!) days of my life! Thank you, Mena! More...

Mena and her team came highly recommended from our wedding planner, Stephanie Shaul Events, for wedding day hair and makeup. The bridal trial with Mena made me feel super confident going into the big day that everything would be perfect - and it was. Mena and her team are so fun, it makes the getting ready portion of the day a blast. I threw a requested color tweak Mena's way the day of and she rolled with it with bells on!

BOOK MENA & HER TEAM ASAP! I got married in Wilmington, NC in August 2022, but was living in California at the time while planning the wedding. My venue had sent a list of trusted makeup & hair vendors in the Wilmington area, but I just wasn’t crazy about any of their previous looks they had done and needed someone better. Also, since I was living out of state, I needed flexibility in booking a trial as it would be based on when I visit NC so it was easiest to choose a team that does both hair & makeup. First off, I was extremely impressed with Mena’s professionalism and the whole look of her investment guide pdf. Other artists in Wilmington were just sending me Word docs with prices and outdated stuff and it just wasn’t enticing but WOW I really appreciated Mena’s organization and responsiveness. She was also very accommodating to allow me to reserve two trial dates in case 1 didn’t work out. She gave me peace of mind through the whole process. And then trial & wedding day SHE KILLED IT! I do a decent job at my own hair & makeup so I really wanted a natural glam for my wedding day that would make me still look like me but the best version and that is absolutely what Mena delivered. We also did glam waves that held ALL day & night through rain and humidity - people still ask me to this day how my hair still looked so good at the end of the night. Her team was early in setting up and ready to go, stuck to the timeline really well, and all the other artists did amazing jobs on my bridesmaids and the mothers as well. Mena is also so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect (even helped use a Tide to-go on a small stain that was on my robe lol) and helped calm me down when I was stressed about possible rain on our day. 10/10 recommend trusting Mena and her team for your special occasion!!!

Picking Mena and her team for hair/makeup on my wedding day was the best decision! Mena is the sweetest person, and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She is patient and ensures you love the final look during your trials before the big day. She is very detail oriented, knowledgeable, trustworthy and will stick to the timeline.

I reached out to Mena about 11 months before my wedding and she responded immediately and took the time to walk me through her process and some of the products. She and her team are extremely organized, kind and fun! Mena and her team took the time to last minute style my now husband’s hair the day of, cover up a black eye and style my mother in law’s wig as she lost her hair to cancer. Mena and the team went above and beyond to make my wedding day magical. I have never felt more beautiful. 10/10 would highly recommend hiring Mena and her team. More...

Mena is the absolute best at what she does - her style is everything I could have wanted in a HMU artist for my wedding day. She and her girls were easy to work with, timely, professional, and clearly very skilled! They were so organized, had a timeline, and worked in all my bridesmaids styles for a cohesive look.

Such a wonderful experience with Mena!
I had my hair & makeup done, as well as trials for my wedding. The first time I met her, there was coffee and Taylor Swift music playing! I felt like we were already friends! She is so sweet and attentive. She worked with me until we found the look I was envisioning, and was so accommodating through all the changes.
Not only is she fun to hang out with, she is so skilled!
I was so pleased, and felt the most beautiful on my wedding day. Allll the stars given. Highly recommend. More...

Mena was an absolute pleasure to work with. Going into the Bride Trial, I was very worried: I have very thin hair that barely holds a curl--no worries though! Mena was able to style my hair in my dream style. and it held throughout the entire wedding day. My makeup was also beautiful and, similarly, stayed fresh throughout the evening. The same goes for my bridesmaids' hair and makeup. We all received so many compliments, both on how well they did and also on how long our hair and makeup lasted. I cannot recommend Mena and her lovely, artistic, friendly team enough. They were all truly wonderful and made my wedding morning both fun and easy. More...

First, THANK YOU MENA! Mena and her team are absolutely wonderful, professional, and organized. I sincerely enjoyed working with Mena and her work is absolutely fantastic. I am not a makeup person so really didn't have an idea of what would look good on my wedding day but thankfully Mena is great with reading her clients and listening to even minimal direction. She did my hair perfectly for a hot summer wedding - it was simple yet classic, elegant and creative. Mena is personable, friendly and her positive and bubbly personality is evident the moment you meet her. She was a wonderful addition to our vendor team and truly made me, my bridesmaids and our mothers look stunning. Thank you Mena! More...

Mena and her entire team were incredible to work with. As someone who doesn't really wear a lot of makeup normally, it was really important to me to find someone who knew what they were doing and would make me feel confident on our day. She absolutely was so great to work with and made me feel totally comfortable and relaxed. I was blown away after my trial run and knew that I made the right choice.

Absolutely the right call to have Mena and her team for our day! More...

Mena and her team were absolutely AMAZING. From the moment I contacted her she was responsive with pricing, figuring out scheduling, doing a trial run of hair and makeup for me, and putting me at ease about getting everything done on time! I had a total of 15 services combined between hair and makeup, and Mena was even able to work AHEAD of schedule to get everyone done before photos began! Her team was super cheery, hilarious, and put all of us at ease despite it being an early start of a stressful day. She uses high quality products that stayed on ALL day despite sweating, dancing, hugging, eating, and drinking, and she was able to recreate exactly what I wanted. My hair and makeup made me feel like an actual bride rather than just a tired stressed out girl! More...

To say that Mena and her team knocked out hair and makeup for my wedding would be an understatement! After moving our wedding multiple times, I had a lot of stress about HMU vendor . This all went away during my trial with Mena. Not only is her work STUNNING, her presence and demeanor is calming and I knew she would be the perfect fit to have with my bridal party on our wedding day. Day of, Mena and her team were prompt and efficient. They stayed ahead of schedule and brought a fun atmosphere to the bridal suite. I pulled Mena aside on the wedding day to tell her how happy all my bridesmaids were with their HMU and after being in several weddings, sometimes you can tell when the rest of the HMU team is not as skilled as the owner or main stylist - this is NOT the case for Mena Garcia's team. Whether booking just for bridal or a full bridal party, Mena will leave you looking amazing and feel confident to walk down the aisle looking your best. More...

She made me feel so beautiful that I cried. I couldn't believe how she made me feel so gorgeous and natural on my wedding day(s)! Her Mom and team were so sweet.
