From start to finish it was amazing working with Danny (makeup) and Lia (hair) for my wedding day glam. I've never had my makeup professionally done before and Danny was extremely helpful working with me to decide what to do for my wedding day. I also have naturally curly hair, and it was important for me to work with someone who knows how to style it, so Lia was the perfect person! I highly recommend doing a trial because that allowed us to talk through what I thought I wanted (both hair and makeup) and make some adjustment for the actual day. Throughout the process Danny was quick to respond, very easy to work with, and clearly has a lot of experience. I could not have been happier with my look on the day and would recommend him and his team to anyone.

Planning one of the most important moments in your life can be super stressful and even more exciting! As you take your first steps down the aisle and see your partner see you looking and feeling the most beautiful you ever have is so worth all the “stress”. Here is where it all comes together. My goal for every bride is to take as much of the stress away from you as I possibly can as you start your day. In addition to offering custom flawless hair and make up, I can travel to you! Home, hotel or yurt in the woods, all can be accommodated.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Justine and her team!!! From the first call to the trial run to the day of the wedding, Justine was the consummate professional—thorough, organized, and a generally calming and beautiful presence. She took the time to hear my vision and my worries (I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally so I was concerned about making sure I felt like myself) and at the practice run, she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful before I left her chair. The day of the wedding, she and her team were right on time, and took care of my bridal party, mother, and mother in law quickly and beautifully! They helped my mother in law (who’s even more nervous about makeup than I am) feel relaxed and beautiful, and answered my mom’s very specific concerns with no issues. Everyone in my bridal party felt gorgeous, and so did I!! They brought a calming presence to what could have been a hectic morning, and everyone who was part of the getting ready process agreed that we couldn’t have had a better beauty team.

They were essential in bringing my vision to life and creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime! Fania was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process from booking, to the trial, to the big day. On the day of, they were timely (even running early - which with 15 girls to glam is not only impressive to say the least, but also allowed for a stress free environment all morning), and as a bride I couldn't have been more grateful. From the second they arrived until after my second look for my reception (a full 12 hour day for them), the attention to detail, the talent and the energy they brought is absolutely unmatched. My day would not have been the same without them! I speak for myself and all of my girls when I say that we have never felt more beautiful.

I am jumping into my 8th bridal season and am more passionate about it than ever before! Self-proclaimed selfie queen, instagram addict, social media connoisseur, skincare obsessor, pro chit chatter, youtube veteran, og beauty lover, and bridal magician.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

From the moment I did the hair and makeup trial up to my wedding day Loran, and Lauren have been easy to work with. They show they really care about you, not just by making the bride feel comfortable on the special day but also the other people that will be receiving the service. They were on time and very professional. Everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup . It also lasted a very long time and everyone got many compliments. I couldn't have been happier with who I chose to make me feel. You will not be disappointed !

Lauren was fantastic! She arrived early in the morning for my wedding day makeup for 6 bridesmaids, my mom and myself.

Thank you Lauren!

Hello future brides! Congratulations on your engagement! My name is Krystal Dent, I have been in the beauty industry for 11 years now. My goal is to provide my clients with a positive and relaxing beauty experience. Whether you want a soft or glam look, you can expect the utmost professionalism and creative techniques to bring your special day vision to life!

I met Krystal for my hair and makeup trial 8 months before my wedding and knew instantly that I was going to love her. She made me feel safe, confident, and beautiful that day and I knew I wanted her to do my hair and makeup the day of my wedding. On the day of my wedding, Krystal was the first person in the door and ready to go with everything. She helped everyone figure out what kind of look they wanted for the day and used colors and tones to compliment each woman. When she finished with my hair and makeup, my jaw hit the floor. I’m not a makeup person and never do anything with my hair other than put it up in a ponytail. I could not stop looking at myself because Krystal made me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day. I will be forever grateful to Krystal for everything she did for me that day and making me feel confident.

Ruby was amazing at helping coordinate with Gaby for my hair and makeup trial as well as day of. They are both so incredibly sweet and professional. It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

Henna by Heather

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.
