Paola – Bridal Hair & Makeup Expert in Italy

Capelli & Capelli | Tagliati X il Successo

With over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, Paola is a highly respected bridal hair specialist based in North-East Italy. She is the owner of multiple salons in the region and personally leads the bridal division of Capelli & Capelli, part of the national franchise Tagliati X il Successo.

In recent years, as Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trieste have become increasingly sought-after wedding destinations, Paola and her team have specialized in bridal hairstyling and, with their makeup artist, in complete bridal beauty, to meet the growing demand from international couples choosing Italy for their wedding day.

Destination Weddings in Friuli Venezia Giulia & Venice

Since 2021, Trieste and the entire Friuli Venezia Giulia region have seen a significant rise in destination weddings. Paola and her team are fully organized to provide on-location hair and makeup services across the region, extending coverage to Venice and surrounding areas.

On average, the team works with two international weddings per month, assisting brides from the United States, Australia, Germany and other countries who choose Italy for their celebration.

Hair and makeup services are provided directly at your venue — whether it’s a historic villa, a seaside terrace, a castle, or a luxury hotel — ensuring a relaxed and seamless wedding morning.

A Personalized Bridal Experience

Paola personally styles each bride whenever possible. In the rare case of overlapping wedding dates, she works closely with the bride to select the most suitable senior stylist from her award-trained team.

Every bridal look is fully customized. There is no fixed style — the design always reflects the bride’s personality, dress, and makeup preferences, whether it’s timeless elegance, soft romantic waves, structured updos, or modern refined styling.

Bridal trial sessions (hair and makeup) are available prior to the wedding day, allowing international brides arriving in Italy a few days before the event to finalize their look with complete peace of mind. Our studio is just 2 minutes from Trieste airport, right on the main road, so you can come straight after landing. If you would like to get to know us first, we are happy to arrange a video call.

Professional Team & Trusted Collaborations

Our makeup artist is part of the Capelli & Capelli team, so hair and makeup are coordinated by the same people, from the first consultation to your wedding morning. Over the years, the team has built strong working relationships with some of the most beautiful wedding venues in Friuli Venezia Giulia, which regularly recommend their services to international couples.

Services are offered in Italian and English, and additional language support can be arranged when needed.

Experience, Reliability, and Local Expertise

Choosing a destination wedding vendor requires trust. Paola brings:

  • 30 years of professional experience
  • A structured and organized team
  • Deep knowledge of local venues and logistics
  • A calm, reliable presence on your wedding morning

For international brides planning their Italian wedding from abroad, having an experienced local expert makes all the difference.
