I always worry hair and makeup might just be too much. The team here did an amazing job of listening to each style my 7 bridesmaids wanted and executing the perfect look for the day. They were prompt, timely, sweet and ultimately total QUEENS at what they do. Everyone loved every surface and my pictures are beautiful, without looking too over done. More...

Cotton Rouge and Company was such a great choice for all of our hair and makeup needs at my wedding! I used this company because my sister-in-law used them at her wedding a few years prior. I fell in love with how sweet and professional they are. They are very, very good at their jobs! Heather (our artist) traveled almost three hours to get to our venue. She was so easy to work with and did such a great job making us all look so beautiful. I am not one to wear a lot of makeup and she did such an amazing job at making me feel confident and beautiful. Their pricing is very reasonable as well! More...

Oh my goodness. I was going to go get headshots and do my own makeup, but someone convinced me not to and introduced me to Katie the NIGHT BEFORE and she was able to fit me in. She is simply fantastic. This is the best make-up I've ever had. As a red head, and with fair skin, I usually have to spend so much time explaining colors that work to people who don't get it. Katie NAILED the colors and gave me the perfect shade of lip stick. My make-up looked so good that when I saw my friend later she said she couldn't stop staring at my face, haha. Definitely work with Cotton Rouge-- for a wedding, before photography, or for any major event. You won't regret it! More...

Cotton Rouge was recommended to me by two of my friends who got married last year. They both also specifically told me to request Erica and I am SO glad I did. Erica was absolutely amazing!!! She was always on time and so detail oriented. She got each of my wedding looks absolutely perfect and just how I wanted it. She also has an amazing personality- bubbly, flexible, and easy to talk to. We had such a great time getting ready with her that morning and I would not change a thing. Thank you again! More...

I can’t recommend Cotton Rouge enough! Mandy did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for portraits and the big day! We also had an additional artist working on makeup for bridesmaids on the wedding day and she was wonderful as well.
They were so welcoming and fun to work with throughout the day and did such a good job with everyone. We had full use of the salon downtown which was so cute and a great place for all of us to relax, have brunch and enjoy getting ready together before the ceremony.
Pricing was great and transparent throughout the process as well!
Makeup and hair stayed ALL day and throughout the reception and was stunning. So glad I chose Cotton Rogue for my wedding day!

Heather Furr was our make up and hair stylist for the day of my wedding. She did hair and makeup for both my mother and mother in law, as well as myself and hair for my sister in law/ maid of honor. After my trial with her there were some things that I was worried about, but after letting Heather know my concerns and some of my other Ideas, both my hair and make up turned out absolutely gorgeous on the day of my wedding.

I have worked with Cotton Rouge on numerous occasions, but most recently my wedding. Amanda did a wonderful job, ensuring my makeup was natural, playing up my features. And best yet, it lasted for 9 hours while I danced the night away! I will continue to work with Cotton Rouge for future events. More...

I had Amanda and Staci the day of my wedding! They were beyond professional and just awesome to have around! They got to know me during our trial run the day of my portraits and my hair and makeup turned out so perfectly I told them not to change a thing for the big day. The day of the wedding they came early to set up and be ready to go, and they got to moving so quickly that we were ahead of schedule! With only 2 ladies doing 1 bride, 8 bridesmaids, 1 jr. bridesmaid, 2 flower girls and 1 MoB I was nervous that we wouldn’t have enough time, but instead they did their work so quickly that they joined us for some breaks and danced with us and took part in our Chick fil a! Amanda and Staci were so kind to our little girls too, they made our Jr. Bridesmaid feel like a total princess with her updo- highlight of the day! They took pictures with my girls and they truly made sure everyone looked the way they wanted. One of my bridesmaids changed her mind about her hair and Staci had absolutely no problem fixing it to her liking! I will highly recommend this company and especially Amanda and Staci to any of my upcoming brides! They rock!!!! More...

Cotton Rouge is very responsive to requests and questions. They are personable and make your entire experience relaxing and fun.
My trial (which I used for rehearsal dinner) and wedding makeup were perfect. My hair fell out a bit toward the end but I was jumping around a ton.
Overall- I would highly recommend Cotton Rouge Makeup and Hair studio. They kept the wedding party on time and even got my hair/makeup completed early to give me time to get extra photos taken.
Highly recommend them : ) Love the airbrush and lashes,

Katie, is really wonderful to work with. There is nothing she can’t do. Our makeup was beautiful. Every bridesmaid got exactly what they asked for. The best part other than how wonderful she made all of look. Is she travels. If your near where she can come to you I would highly recommend her or anyone in her team. More...

I hired Cotton Rouge last minute as I was trying to find someone affordable that could also do airbrush makeup. Shockingly, it was pretty difficult to locate someone who offered both. But, Cotton Rouge saved the day. Not only was it affordable, they worked so well with my timeline and all of the makeup was just stunning. We received so many compliments! Leigh also arrived early and worked in all TWELVE of my girls (including mom and honorary Bridesmaids) within our requested timeline. She was perfect! 10 out of 10! More...

I do not have enough positive words to say for Katie Cotton and her company. I was absolutely in love with all things I had done by Katie. I had hired her for my bridal hair and makeup by asking around and I could not have picked a more perfect person for the job! I ended up having her do my hair and make up for my engagement pictures which was perfect. It was simple but beautiful. I then decided to do a boudoir with Katie and had my wedding hair and make up trial done at the same time! It was so nice of her that she allowed me to do that since I was using her for both aspects anyway! If you are on the cusp of doing a boudoir I would 100% recommend Katie. I never felt uncomfortable during the shoot, it was fun and the pictures are AMAZING! Every single one of them I love! I will definitely be back for a second shoot at some point to surprise the hubby! As a Bride- Katie and her curl stylist were everything and more. They were fast, efficient and worked with all of my bridesmaids and mother of the bride. My make up was flawless and my hair was exactly what I had pictured. Not to mention, Katie is easy to get along with, fun, professional and awesome at what she does. I could not thank her and her team enough! I’ve already recommended to her to a friend who is getting married who has her booked for next May!! Can’t wait to work with this company again! Thank you for helping to make my day run smoothly and for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!!! More...

She literally sewed the dresses on the girls! Lifesaver doesn’t even begin to cover it!!! More...

Katie and her team are just the BEST. Katie did my wedding and my sisters, along with every other wedding I've been in that was in the Greenville area! Everyone there is so talented and I would recommend any one who works here. Katie herself did my wedding and I was just thrilled with the outcome! She looked at the pictures I showed her and made it work perfectly for my hair. The makeup was also perfection! So happy with how all the hair and make up looked for everyone on my wedding day!

It was beyond a pleasure to have them do our wedding photos! Definitely will have them do future photos for us! They were completely understanding and patient! It was extremely hot and they didn’t keep us outside to much which was awesome. With family photos we had a wide range of kids age and how they got the much younger ones to smile and listen, is a gift alone. More...

I used Cotton Rouge & Company for my May 25th wedding and I am so happy with how everything turned out! During my make-up and hair trial, Melissa did a great job of listening to what I liked and didn't like. My make-up looked amazing and lasted all day into the night during my trial and on the wedding day (also it was 95 degrees on my wedding day and the make up still looked fresh). My hair was exactly what I wanted and stayed together all night! Thank you so much, your team is amazing!! More...

I worked with Melissa and she was awesome! I did a hair and make-up trial run and she didn't make me feel bad when I changed my mind on the hair style I wanted. She gave me tips on things to get and get done for the big day and was always available and responsive when I reached out to her. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. She came to our reception venue's bridal suit and got my 3 bridesmaids, mom of the groom and myself prettied up. She was early, professional and at the same time felt like a friend. At our request, she came to our ceremony venue to do touch-ups. She made the trek up the mountain to Pretty Place Chapel in a torrential downpour. When we got to the chapel the main entrance was flooded because of a clogged drain and there was several inches of water in the bridal suite. She didn't let that hinder her and got to work dragging out her tools and set to work tirelessly curling and re-curling our hair and doing make-up touchups and providing moral support for our first look, ceremony and final touch-ups for romantic and bridal pics. The service she provided was invaluable and you can't put a price on feeling beautiful and confident on such a momentous occasion. Highly recommend! More...

Katie from Cotton Rouge did my hair and makeup for my wedding this fall. She also did our bridesmaids' and our moms'. She was able to budget exactly how much time it would take, and was really helpful at providing a timeline for he morning-of. She came on-site, and was such a delight to be around. She works really fast - doing air-brush 24-hour stay makeup and very natural looking lashes. We started at 9am and everyone looked fabulous well through the reception!

Price was extremely reasonable and more than worth it for the quality of work! Melissa was the artist who took care of me and my wedding party. We were given a window of time that was more than enough time to get ready and to make sure everyone was happy and that there was no rush. Melissa worked carefully and efficiently and made sure that everyone got what they wanted and were satisfied with the outcome. She made sure to do touch ups on the ones who went first and her range in ability was wonderful! Not only is she great at what she does, but she is friendly and caring and helped make sure I wasn't getting too anxious which meant constantly reminding me to breathe, haha. I would highly recommend Cotton Rouge & Company to any bride! More...

I wish I could give this a 4.5 star review. I had cotton rouge come to me for bridal makeup and hair. Katie cotton did an amazing job on both me and my mom, and was excellent in listening to our needs. She arrived on time and did everything she said she would. I had absolutely no problems until afterwards. I paid with a check but tipped in cash. My wedding was on Oct. 13th, the same day I paid for the service via check. The check wasn’t cashed until 2 entire months later. I highly recommend Katie for event hair and makeup, but suggest you pay with cash or card, if a check being held over your account for a long period of time might throw you off. More...

This was one of the best hires for my wedding. Latia and Allie were AMAZING. They showed up on time, didn't rush any of us, and were so friendly. .. they contributed to the relaxing morning :) They did amazing work on my bridesmaids, mother, and myself. Everyone loved their hair and makeup...and in the middle of the July heat, everyone's makeup stayed on, and everyone's hair stayed in place! I also had Latia stay for touch-ups...and this was one of the best decisions I made. She hung out with the bridal party until ceremony time, touching us up as needed...wiping off sweat (yep)...carrying my train and bouquet...was basically my right-hand woman.

I hired Cotton Rouge and Company to do the hair and make-up for my wedding. The company was easy and pleasant to communicate with, and they were extremely accommodating. One of my bridesmaids has Celiac Disease and cannot use any products with gluten in them (it happens more than you think), and my mom has incredibly sensitive skin. They were patient and presented numerous solutions to accommodate these ladies, and they looked gorgeous! The prices are very reasonable, especially since they travel to you. Lauren was our artist, and she was FANTASTIC. Not only did she do a great job with our hair and make-up, but she had a calming influence over the room. When she was doing my hair and make-up, the florist arrived with numerous mistakes that I had to deal with. When I came back (with raised anxiety), my bride tribe was off getting ready themselves, so it was just me and Lauren. She stepped in and served as friend as she helped calm me down. I could not be happier with how the hair and make-up turned out and the service we received. I highly recommend them! More...
