Meghan was an actual blessing on our wedding. We got married in Maine and I had previously found someone more local to do my hair. To say that initial test with the other person was disappointing would be a gross understatement. I have very thin hair and as such bought extensions. The other person said she couldn't use all of them, and the ones she did use pulled on my hair and scalp in such a painful way that I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or so and the style looked thin and fried. Enter Meghan. Given the exact same tools and accessories she worked actual magic. She gave me wedding hair better than I ever could've imagined or dreamed of. I asked for wild and witchy and romantic and she delivered tenfold. It was so comfortable and long-lasting and I got nothing but compliments on it and she did such a good job integrating the extensions that no one believed it wasn't my real hair. She gave recommendations for which extensions to get and what products to use to prep my hair and was all around amazing. She even helped my groom with his hair last minute on the day of and he looked fabulous too. Meghan was such a joy to be around and was so sweet and kind and helpful and talented that I wish I could get married again just to use her. She's a gem and I will recommend her to anyone who asks and everyone who doesn't ask.

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me! I always make sure we have time to talk about exactly what kind of look you are looking for. I look forward to welcoming you to my chair!

Jocelyn was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn more highly for any bride looking for a talented, responsive, and thoughtful makeup artist for her special day!

I am a traveling freelance makeup artist. Makeup has been my passion for over 10 years and I have been doing makeup professionally for less than a year. Makeup has always helped me feel beautiful, confident, and radiant and it's such a pleasure to be able to do it for others!

Whether you want the more natural look, the sultry look, or the classic beauty look, Macy Lo is your girl and the makeup artist for you. Her fun attitude and dedication is impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is a professional, and truly a delight to have around. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see whether you like or dislike something or whether you want less or more. She truly gears her talents toward the individual. On the day of my wedding she came early, brought her extensive line of makeup, additional accessories, and with a smile and genuine joy and excitement on her face got to work. Macy did such a beautiful job for myself, my sister, step-mom, and my two bridesmaids at my wedding. We all felt like princesses. I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for her. On my wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and blessed. Macy played a big part in that. I would work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone I know. If only she could pop out of my makeup bag every day lol.

Home, hotel or yurt in the woods, all can be accommodated.

Justine was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding process! I loved how incredibly communicative and fast she was to respond to any and all questions. But most of all, I was absolutely in love with my wedding hair! During the trial, Justine really was open to trying out different looks, making subtle changes, and ensuring we found a style I loved for my wedding day. On the wedding day she flawlessly replicated what we had decided on during the trial. While my style was more of a loose curl, some of my bridesmaids have curly hair and she did a beautiful job working with and enhancing their natural curls too. Justine is incredibly talented. On top of it all, Justine is a great person to be around - she is easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about what she does. I would 100% recommend Justine for your wedding day, and I wish I lived close enough to her to have her do my hair regularly!

Lauren aims to enhance your natural beauty rather than mask it, allowing your features and personality to shine through.

Lauren was fantastic! She arrived early in the morning for my wedding day makeup for 6 bridesmaids, my mom and myself. I couldn't be any happier with my results, especially considering I live out of the area and we did not have time for a trial prior to the wedding day. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you Lauren!

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!

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.

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all.
