about us

In addition to hair and makeup we also offer in studio teeth whitening and professional airbrush spray tans so you can show up to your event or photoshoot (or life/vacation!) feeling amazing.

Our Mission

Bellamore Beauty was inspired by the Italian phrase Belle’Amore, or Beautiful Love and at Bellamore these words are our belief. We love your beautiful. At Bellamore we combine our appreciation of all things gorgeous with our passion for makeup artistry to create an experience that will make you feel your very best, most authentic self. Whether it is full glam or that barely there dewy fresh look, we use our skills and experience to highlight your most spectacular features and embrace your own version of beautiful. Our mission is to make you feel gorgeous, because you are.

A highly skilled and dedicated team

Every member on our team was interviewed and hand selected by the owner of Bellamore Beauty for their extensive knowledge, experience and skill in hair and makeup. We love everything about it and are constantly educating ourselves and our team on the latest tools, techniques, trends and methods so that your hair and/or makeup look beautiful in person, photograph well, and last until your head hits the pillow at the end of the night. We use high quality, well tested products by trusted brands, and your safety is incredibly important to us so all our tools and products are sterilized and cleaned to the highest standard. We know you have a lot on your plate, so sit back and relax in the comfort of your own home or venue while we make you look and feel your best.

a delightful booking experience

While we are dedicated to providing exceptional on location hair and makeup for your wedding or event, we are also focused on making every other aspect of your experience as seamless as possible. After years of experience (and a lot of trial and error!) we have systems, programs, processes and team members in place to ensure you are well taken care of from the time you inquire, to your booking and thereafter. From completely digital contracts, online payments (yes you can use your credit card at no additional charge - hello travel points!) and all of your correspondence with us saved in one convenient place our goal is to make your experience as delightful as shopping on Amazon :).

professional and reliable

We have seen it far too often in the beauty industry - a frantic post on a facebook wedding page with a bride looking for a last minute hair and/or makeup artist because their cancelled on them. This truly breaks our heart and we can assure you that as a Bellamore Bride or client you will NEVER be in this situation. We take our client’s bookings incredibly seriously and even if one of our artists has to cancel (trust us - it would be for a very good reason!) we have a large team that can step in and ensure you are always well taken care of.
