& Special Effects Glam

Two women dressed in Halloween costumes taking a selfie in front of a mirror. One woman has face paint resembling a zombie with dark makeup and fake zombie teeth, wearing a red and black plaid shirt. The other woman is dressed as Little Red Riding Hood with a red hooded cape, dark makeup, and scratches on her cheek. She is holding a phone with a patterned case. The woman with the cape has a tattoo of a bird on her arm, gold rings, and is carrying a woven handbag.

When the costume isn’t enough, Glam Up brings the transformation. From ethereal fairies and eerie sirens to full-on movie-quality zombies, our Nashville Halloween hair and makeup artists turn your vision into reality. Whether you’re stepping onto Broadway, into a themed party, or onto a film set, we bring the glam and the gore.

Our special effects makeup artists use professional-grade products, prosthetics, and advanced techniques to create custom looks that last all night — and photograph flawlessly under any light. Think body paint, crystals, glitter, wounds, latex, and more — all crafted by professionals who specialize in cinematic beauty.

Why It Costs More 💅

Special effects and Halloween glam are a completely different level of artistry. These looks require:

  • Extended appointment times (often 2–3 hours vs. 1–1.5 for standard glam)

  • Professional SFX materials like latex, prosthetics, and airbrush paint

  • Extra prep and sanitation

  • Custom color matching and design planning before your appointment

Every look is truly one-of-a-kind — more like a live art project than a traditional makeup session. That’s why Halloween and SFX glam pricing starts higher than regular hair and makeup appointments.

When It’s Just Normal Glam

If your look is more “sparkle and slay” than “special effects,” you’re likely in our standard glam category. Think sultry witch, disco angel, cat-eye devil, Barbie, pop star, or vampire glam — anything that doesn’t involve prosthetics, face paint, or heavy costume work.

If you’re not sure which one fits your look, our team can help you choose the right category when booking — so you get the right artist, the right time frame, and the perfect price.
