The Philosophy

Luxury bridal makeup and hair artistry in Charlotte with a soft, refined glam aesthetic.

Ellie Michel Beauty brings a clean, elevated approach to bridal hair and makeup in Charlotte. The look is polished and timeless, with an emphasis on refined beauty for every occasion.

A luxury bridal makeup experience designed for the bride who wants to feel like the most refined version of herself. Specializing in elevated soft glam, each look is customized to enhance natural features while delivering a flawless, radiant finish that photographs beautifully and holds from the first look through the final dance.

From the bridal preview to wedding morning, every detail is executed with precision and care. The experience includes a trial appointment to perfect the look, customized skin preparation with luxury product selection, long-wearing photo-ready application, and on-site services for a calm, unhurried morning. Bridal makeup begins at $650. A limited number of wedding dates are accepted each season to preserve the quality and attention each bride deserves.

Bridal hairstyling is fully customized to each bride's features, gown, and vision, from soft romantic waves to structured updos. The experience includes a preview appointment, professional preparation, long-lasting hold techniques, veil placement, and on-site services on the wedding day. Bridal styling begins at $250, with a separate trial at $125. Additional fees apply for extension application or hair past waist length, each at $25.
