Philadelphia hair and makeup spray tan — Meet MU8’s Owner, Patrice Williams

Patrice Williams is a top rated Published Makeup Artist, Certified Lash Technician, and Licensed Esthetician. She has over nine years of professional bridal beauty experience and over ten years of corporate experience, specifically in higher education. As someone who struggled with self image issues growing up, feeling like the ugly oversized outcast of the group, Patrice vowed to spend her career allowing other women to see and feel like the best versions of themselves through the medium of hair and makeup.
Who is MU8?
As the letters “MU” stand for “makeup”, the number 8 is symbolic of new beginnings and new starts. We are so grateful to have such an amazing and impactful role in your journey as you transition into a new level and new beginning on your wedding day. As we curate the perfect experience for each of our brides, each of you also provide a new start for us to continue to do what we love as well. MU8’s mutual symbolism is the backbone of why we do what we do while we connect with you, get to know you, and continue to serve you as our bride.
MU8’s Dedication:
Patrice dedicates MU8 and her success to her amazingly strong mother who passed in May of 2020. Her passing taught Patrice that life is far too short to not pursue what truly brings you joy, and for her, that is transforming amazing women into an enhanced, beautiful, and radiant version of who they already are.
“To my mom who I think of everyday, I just want to say thank you for showing me what it means to be a fierce, strong, and passionate independent woman who takes NO crap. MU8 exists because of you. MU8 IS YOU! To my beautiful brides, I can’t wait to share the legacy with you and create your dream look while you experience something so special. See you soon beautiful!”
- Patrice

Client Testimonials

“I’m a Latina who wears her hair naturally curly and my six bridesmaids come from different racial backgrounds and, as such, have different skin tones. It was very clear that MU8 appreciated and embraced diversity. When I told MU8 that I wanted to get married with my naturally curly hair, they worked with me to find a look that I ADORED. I truly felt seen. On top of that, the team came in the morning of with so much sunshine on a cloudy showery day” - Fall, 2024 MU8 Bride

“During our consultation call with MU8, we clicked right away and booked immediately. Our artists were professional but also really genuine and upbeat. At our trial, we honestly had so much fun and it felt like we were just hanging out. I did tell Patrice that it seemed too good to be true that they have so many 5 star ratings, but now that we have worked with them, I get it” - Fall, 2023 MU8 Bride

“Booking with MU8 was one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding! I knew immediately from my consultation call that MU8 was the right fit for me. Not only were my hair and makeup artists insanely amazing at what they do, but they were also FUN. Having my artists with me that morning felt like I had two friends helping me get ready. The vibes were great and they had me laughing all morning” - Summer, 2023 MU8 Bride

I am ready to become an mu8 bride!
