What our clients are saying:

  • Rachel and Kelsey were amazing to work with for my wedding. They arrived right on time and were SO FUN to hang out with before & during our makeup and hair stylings! We had a blast with them, and we were all incredibly happy with how we looked. These two are so talented.

  • Rachel and Kelsey came to my house to get me ready for my mid-week elopement. I can't overemphasize the value of being in the comfort of my own home rather than going to a salon to get ready. It was also pure gold that they worked on me at the same time-- I went from zero to glam so fast. I loved that, I didn't want to spend 3 hours in a chair getting nervous about my wedding, lol. Since I was eloping, I didn't have a bridal party buzzing around me as I got ready, but Rachel and Kelsey brought their sparkling personalities and we had 1.5 hours of fun and lots of laughs. They both listened carefully and executed the exact sophisticated and elegant look I wanted. The pictures turned out divine. So glad there is a beauty team out there serving us small-scale brides-- thank you both!!

  • We absolutely loved having Rachel and Kelsey do the hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding. They came to our house and were able to provided such a positive and fun environment to the start of our day. They are very professional and a delight to be around. They provide a practice day for the bride and were able to accommodate the bridesmaids and mother of the bride on the day of the wedding. They kept everything on schedule and provided small touch up bags for everyone. My hair and makeup never looked better and stayed in place for the entire event. I highly recommend Mutual Babe!

  • Kelsey and Rachel did an incredible job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! During the trial they listened to what I wanted and were very receptive to my tweaks and I got exactly the look I was going for on my wedding day! They were so fun to work with and I had the easiest going morning I could have asked for thanks too their help!

    -Diana H.

  • Rachel and Kelsey were absolutely great to work with! They were so personable and fun the entire time. Each member of the bridal party got the looks they were asking for and everyone was satisfied with how their hair and makeup turned out ☺️

    -Nikki B.

  • I was given the task to find hair and make up for my older sister's wedding and stumbled across Rachel and Kelsey. Oh my gosh I am SO glad I did!!! I loved them and their work so much I actually ended up hiring them again for my own wedding a few months later. Rachel and Kelsey are THE coolest women. They made my wedding day feel so special and I felt like I was having my best friends do my hair and make up. Nothing was awkward, they seamlessly fit into the group, and they are just honestly great people. As for the actual hair and make up - they NAILED it. I had mine done and I had a few bridesmaids get theirs done as well and everyone was so happy with the results. I showed pictures of what I wanted and Rachel and Kelsey took the time to ask clarifying questions and really paid attention to detail. I 10/10 recommend this company and these women. I will absolutely be recommending them to all of my friends and family and they will always be my go to for any hair/make up needs I have. They are so talented!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Rachel and Kelsey this summer for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough! Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant at first about booking their Deluxe Bridal Package, but y'all I am here to tell you it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. Kelsey didn't just do my makeup, she took her time prepping my skin with all kinds of treatments, and it seriously made my makeup look flawless. It was like getting a mini-facial - I have never felt so pampered!! Rachel didn't just do my hair, she listened to all of my concerns and really made sure she understood my vision before she started, and my hair was perfection. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book with them!! They were easy to work with and professional from the time of booking to my actual wedding day. You will not be disappointed!!

    -Elizabeth B.

  • Rachel did hair (including extensions) and makeup for me and my small bridal party, and she 👏🏻is 👏🏻 AMAZING! 👏🏻 I wanted a soft, natural look while my sister wanted something with more drama, and Rachel worked her magic to make us both happy. Perhaps even more importantly (for me), Rachel was a positive and grounding presence when I needed it on the big day. She’s genuinely an awesome human, which made the whole experience that much better. I can’t recommend her enough!!

    -Anne K.

  • Rachel did me and my wife’s hair and make up and it was PERFECT!! They listened to everything we wanted and delivered! We felt so comfortable and beautiful on our special day!! If you’re looking for hair and make up and she’s available you NEED to book with her!!

    -Taylor L.

  • Is it bad that I want to get married again, just so I can re-book Rachel and Kelsey? - They REALLY made my day extra special, and it felt like I was hanging with gal pal's I've known for years... Couldn't recommend them enough!!!

    -Ilana W.

  • Kelsey RULES! She did makeup for me and my 4 bridesmaids, and we all were blown away by her talent. Getting ready is such a huge part of the wedding day, and having Kelsey there was an absolute joy. I only wish I had hired her to do my hair too!! Cannot recommend her enough!

    -Brittany M.

  • Rachel and Kelsey were absolutely fabulous! I was very nervous about getting my hair and makeup done (I'm not usually big on those things), and they did such a perfect job of making me and my bridal party feel so comfortable and cared for. The hair and makeup were absolutely gorgeous, and just the perfect balance of elevated while still looking and feeling like myself. They did a great job of listening to me and my bridal party, and made adjustments from my feedback after the trial run, and I was so happy with how it all came out. The hair and makeup were done with such skill that I still looked amazing even after lots and lots of wedding tears and enthusiastic dancing! Also, Rachel and Kelsey were just super fun to work with!

    -Sarah K.

  • Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with! She arrived early, set up shop and went straight to work doing updo's for my 7 bridesmaids. She finished with time to spare! She delivered exactly what I wanted and I loved the complete look of the wedding party! I highly recommend working with Rachel, she will absolutely help your vision come to life!
