I met Michaela a little over a year ago when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding. She did such an incredible job and was such a fun person, I booked her immediately for my wedding.
Working with Michaela was awesome. We all know how stressful wedding planning is, but working with Michaela made hair/makeup a breeze. She responds to messages right away and makes everything so easy. She is extremely flexible as well. Situations arose such that I had to make changes to the hair/makeup schedule for my bridal party all the way up to the morning of my wedding. She was so understanding and never got frustrated or irritated - just went with the flow.
I was also planning my wedding in SC from Illinois. When I came to town, it was to a town about 2 hours from Charleston where Michaela is based. Michaela was so graceful and accommodating and we easily set a date and time to meet for a H/M trail - she drove all the way to my town so that we could do my trial in the short window I had free the weekend I was in town.
On the day of the wedding, she did an incredible job individualizing everyone's hair and makeup to accent their strongest features. She had no trouble matching the range of skin tones we had and hair to pretty much anything we wanted. She and her assistant were efficient while still having a good time with myself and my bridal party and everyone was satisfied with their look on the first try. It was awesome and made the joy of the day that much better. I would recommend her for anyone who wants beautiful hair/makeup on their wedding day.
Michaela is absolutely incredible at what she does! I was an out of town bride and she was super flexible with me. After I spoke to Michaela before signing the contract, she felt like a long lost friend. We instantly connected and I put my trust in her. Let me say, she fully delivered and even exceeded expectations. My trial went perfect, she knew exactly what I was describing and listened when talking about how I envisioned myself looking! My trial was before our welcome party so it ended up being a little more edgy but i loved it! For my wedding she softened it up and I felt so beautiful!! My friends and family have continued to rave about Michaela 8 months after our wedding - she is someone you want on your side for your wedding day! When I returned to Charleston a few months later for another wedding Michaela did my hair and make up then too - she’s my go to girl!
I initially reached out to Bella Donna CHS back in September regarding hair and makeup services for my upcoming wedding in April. Michaela was very nice and responsive at first, but eventually stopped responding after I signed the contract. I’m not sure what I did to warrant being ghosted. I asked general questions around makeup application types offered and bridal trial requirements due to residing out of state. I know that everyone gets busy, but it takes 5 minutes to reach back out to a potential customer and communicate that you’re booked or no longer interested in providing services. I will be sending over a voided contract just to ensure I’m not held to any payments. I have a lot of other items to be stressed about at the moment and this not be one of them.
I was very happy with my bridal hair and makeup. Michaela was responsive and flexible when I needed to make changes, and did a great job of getting us ready in time.
I had Lauren (bridal hair and make up) and Erika for day of services and was super pleased. As someone who does not get their make up done I was worried I was going to be too glammed up and not look myself. Lauren listened and asked questions along the way, made me feel so pretty and special on my big day. Plus she was super fun and calming day of which was appreciated. Only negative was I had booked hoping for 3 stylists but due to it being a busy weekend, there was only two available. I understand and it all worked out in the end! Thanks so much!
Michaela and her team were great!! Hair and makeup were perfect…I have SUPER thick hair and it didn’t move the entire night…. I also cried probably 20 times and my makeup didn’t smudge or anything. They are also extremely punctual, which made my big day way less stressful! I would definitely recommend them!
Michaela is excellent at what she does. I found her through The Knot and I booked a trial appointment with her a few months before the wedding date. After that appointment, I knew she was exactly who I wanted to go with. She listened to what my vision was and made it come to life (and then some!). She also did a few of my bridesmaids hair and makeup as well as my mother. I'm so glad I had her for my big day. I felt beautiful all night and that is in huge part due to her and her talents. You should book her now! She's wonderful!
Where do I even start? Michaela with Bella Donna Bridal is simply the best! She is incredibly talented and no matter if you are going for a more natural look or full glam she knows exactly what she does. She is so sweet, easy to talk to and reliable. I would highly recommend her for all of your hair and makeup needs and not only on your wedding day!!

I had the very best make up experience with Michaela at Bella Donna Bridal. Michaela was very professional and listened to all of my makeup requests. In the past Other make up artists made me look very over done. Michaela exceeded my expectations and at my event I received more compliments than ever before .I felt the most beautiful I ever have in my life. I definitely will be going back to Michaela for all of my big events!

I would definitely recommend the Bella Donna Bridal team for your hair and makeup!
