Can’t find your artist?
Our Search & Vetting Service
Let us do the heavy lifting for you—at no cost. We believe every bride deserves peace of mind. If your hired hair or makeup artist is not currently listed in our registry, they may simply not have applied for accreditation yet.
Enter your artist's details below. Our team will reach out to the artist directly to verify their credentials (licensure and insurance) on your behalf.
We will provide you with a clear "Verified" or "Unverified" status report within 48 hours.
This is a completely free service for brides, planners, and vendors.
Why verification matters
"In an unregulated industry, hope is not a strategy. We bridge the gap between 'talented hobbyists' and 'protected professionals.' Whether you are a Venue Manager protecting your property or a Bride protecting your skin and hair, the ALBA Seal is your assurance."
Our Commitment to Integrity
The High Road
Why We Don’t "Blacklist"
At ALBA, we believe in elevating the industry, not tearing it down. While some directories focus on "calling out" the bad, we choose to spend our energy celebrating the good. We don’t maintain a public blacklist because our mission is to shine a light on those doing things the right way.
Data Over Drama
Private Verification
If an artist isn't in our registry, it doesn't always mean they aren't qualified—it simply means they haven't been ALBA Verified. Through our private Search & Verify service, we provide factual, data-driven reports directly to brides and venues, ensuring privacy and professionalism for all parties.
