Michael Fels Beauty | Hair & Makeup

Michael was a pleasure to work with. As a COVID bride trying to plan a wedding from another city, I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me on my journey. These are the highlights for me: - Michael is prepared. He is so knowledgable in makeup, wedding makeup, what to expect on the day of the wedding, self-care, skin-care... he's thought of everything I would never think of in preparation for the big day. - Michael communicates very well. It's like he sets up notifications for different check-in points leading up to the wedding. I never had to reach out to him, he was always the first to reach out to me and help me out. - He's just a pleasure to talk to. Michael listens. He sincerely wanted to learn about me, about my goals, and he wanted to collaborate with me to find a direction that suited my personality. I really appreciated that since I'm someone who never wears makeup. - Michael follows up. He totally made sure the ball wasn't dropped and that I was ready for everything coming - I felt less nervous with his guidance! The artists that worked with me and my bridal party were Beatrice and Kareena. They were both on time and showed up with such positive energy - they were so natural for us to be around and we had a great time. They were both organized and efficient as well. Kareena did makeup and hair for the bridal party and everyone looked gorgeous. Thanks Kareena! Beatrice worked on my bridal makeup and I can't thank her enough for how in love with my own face I was! She listened to every adjustment I wanted to make, she came with suggestions that I sincerely loved, she was so open to change, being flexible and trying things out. The best compliment was my husband at the end of the day saying, "You looked stunning. You looked like yourself." Thank you so much Beatrice! Overall everyone at Michael Fels Beauty including Michael were such a joy to work with. I didn't have to worry about anything. I knew they were thinking about all the details that I might have overlooked (how will makeup look in edited photos? how will makeup look in natural light? how can we make the look last? Here, have this touchup kit! etc. etc.) and I completed trusted them through the process. Thanks Michael, Beatrice and Kareena!

Michael was absolutely amazing! He made the entire process extremely smooth. I had emailed him in search for makeup and hair for my wedding. He responded quickly and his emails were so detailed! We then had a phone conversation and he asked me all the right questions. The makeup was absolutely beautiful and lasted the entire night in the heat! I generally don't wear too much makeup on a daily basis and he made me look natural but also glamed up at the same time, truly a talent. My hair was also very natural and he was so talented in making my beautiful beach waves! He was very professional and I had a lovely time chatting with him. I've recommended others to him and will definitely be in touch in the future should any other events occur :) thank you so much! You made me feel so beautiful on such a special day and I'm so happy you could be apart of it. Thank you!! - Heidi B

I highly recommend Michael Fels Beauty to every one who needs professional hair / makeup. I am SO happy with my experience with Michael and his team. I hired Michael Fels Beauty for my wedding on June 30th. The team arrived early with everything they needed, each of them had such an amazing energy that really made the morning extra special. My bridal party, my mother, and my mother-in-law all felt so beautiful and the makeup and hair held up the entire night. They were able to do 6 bridesmaids 2 moms, and myself with time for any touch ups needed with time to spare!!! Michael even left me with a touch up kit, and reached out to me a few days after the wedding to ensure everything went well. Not to mention, Michael was the one who followed up with me prior to the wedding to make sure I had hired someone after I forgot to book someone. THANK GOD he did, I am SO happy with every aspect and I HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding or any other event. P.S. just a warning... you will have an amazing time if you hire Michael and his team! ??

Michael and his team at Michael Fels Beauty were truly wonderful to work with, and I'm so happy that I chose them for my makeup services for my wedding this past June. I found Michael through a Google search, and his website immediately resonated with me and from our first conversation I had a good vibe, and there after they exceeded my every expectation. Michael was communicative, responsive and well organized. I truly felt he understood what I was seeking. He helped to find the perfect artist match for me, and Kareena did an outstanding job for myself, mother and maid of honour. She truly helped to set the tone for an amazing day and I received many compliments on my makeup and felt so natural glam. A big thank you, to Michael & his team!!

I've worked with Michael on a number of occasions for head shot and personal portrait photography sessions. I've always been very impressed with the care and attention Michael shows to every client. Most of my clients are in 40+ age group and I know that I can trust Michael to take his time to get to know my clients, and work with them to craft a make up look that is a refined and naturally beautiful version of themselves. Many of my clients have gone on to work with Michael on subsequent projects which is a testament to his skill and work ethic. I also appreciate the effort Michael has put into making me and my clients feel safe with his implementation of Covid protocols. I highly recommend Michael to any other photographers or potential clients.

I feel so lucky to have had Michael as my bridal hair and make-up stylist for my wedding. Michael did such an incredible job, making sure that everything was done patiently, to perfection in a timely manner! Thank you so much Michael!

I engaged with Michael to do my hair and makeup for an event in Toronto. Michael was incredible with helping me choose the style and look that I wanted that suited me and was realistic to what my expectations were. The day of the event Michael came into my hotel room like a fairy god mother and transformed me into an enhanced beautiful version of myself like I've never seen before. Michael put me at ease and really brought to life the vision I had for myself. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go back to Michael for any other events. Michael made this a truly unique experience for me and truly made my day and night!

Michael is SO incredibly talented and skilled at what he does. Wow! He took the vision I had for hair and makeup for my wedding and brought it to life tenfold. He is extremely easy to work with and made sure everything went smoothly. He listened to every detail I wanted, gave really great advice on how to achieve the hair style I was after, came prepared and on time for both the hair and make up trial and on my wedding day (in fact he made sure to be early!), and was SO much fun! He brought such a positive, calm, and fun loving energy, which I am so grateful for! The bridal look Michael created for me was nothing short of magical. I felt so incredibly pretty, but not overdone or overly made up. It held up great throughout the night, despite being rained on at some points! I don’t know what kind of magic Michael has in that hair and make up bag of his, but I’m so happy he brought it for my wedding day. Thank you x1000000 for everything! - Marisa M
