Mena Garcia Beauty

We loved working with Mena and her team! I've never seen my girls look so beautiful and they were such a fun group of hair and makeup artists to work with! I loved how they were able to provide makeup looks ranging from subtle all the way to full glam... it allowed for everyone to feel comfortable with what they were receiving. We had a few people with slightly more difficult hair to work with but Mena and her team persevered through challenges until everyone loved the way they looked and we couldn't be more grateful for that level of care and the quality of work we received! Mena especially is an absolute sweetheart and I truly felt like I was in the best hands! I couldn't recommend Mena and her team enough! More...

Mena and her team were absolutely fantastic! Mena’s studio for trial hair and make-up was so cute! I came in with some pictures/inspiration for my hair and make-up and it turned out perfect! On wedding day, the team arrived right on time and were able to get all our hair/make-up done right according to the schedule! Mena is so kind and does great work! Everyone on her team was fantastic as well! More...

I would pick Mena and her team 1000x over again!! I am not someone who typically wears a lot of makeup and I had a general vision of how I wanted to look but I was NOT good at explaining or expressing specifically what I wanted. Despite myself being less than helpful - Mena executed my exact vision for my bridal hair and makeup and was so patient with me throughout all of my indecisiveness. I had a huge bridal party and her team was efficient and did an incredible job getting all of my girls looking and feeling so beautiful and confident. After now having been in a wedding party (outside of my own) and seeing how other MUA work -- I can say Mena and her team were not only amazing at the hair/makeup itself but they were so clean and hygienic. Every girl had their own beauty blender (we got to keep) and no brushes were every used twice. Her team truly worked magic! I would give her 10000 stars if I could! 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! Mena Garcia Beauty is a great choice for your big day! More...

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!!!

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 and her team are also very professional as well! I was in love with my hair and my makeup on my wedding day! I am sure I’ll reach out again for my hair and make up for a special event!
