Sophia was wonderful to work with! My sister, who is a bit more experienced with hair and make up found her based on her expertise in doing a "no make-up" / "natural" make up look. We did a trial which was so helpful for both of us. The day of my make-up was so perfect and natural, my hair was magical all day as well. My husband even emphasized how much he loved it!! Thank you so much to Sophia and her team!!

Thank you so much, Kelsey and Erica for beautifying me and my wedding party! I was on the fence about getting hair and makeup done professionally, and I'm glad I went for it! Kelsey did an amazing job setting me up for success during our trial, taking my "natural look" inspiration photos and translating them for my skin tone. We made some tweaks to my day of look and it turned out better than I could have imagined! Erica did a great job with everyone's hair, and the vibe Kelsey and Erica brought was wonderful and relaxing. Plus my look really had staying power, through happy tears, crazy winds, and a sweaty dance floor, I still looked put together and like a bride.

When looking for hair and makeup artists for our wedding, we knew we needed a team who could accommodate two brides and 6 bridesmaids on each side. Even before booking, Carla explained the process and assured us that they could accommodate our large bridal party, and throughout the planning process they were flexible and helpful. For example, we had to reschedule our hair and makeup trial at the last minute due to a canceled flight. We had four artists on our wedding day (Kari, Taylor, Emily, and Paige) and they were all wonderful. Kari and Taylor did my wife and I’s makeup and hair and we have never felt more beautiful. Kari and Taylor also coordinated throughout the morning to make sure they were able to switch places since we were getting ready in two different spaces. We had a fairly complex getting ready situation and Alea took care of everything. We’d definitely recommend working with them!

Dee Marie Artistry did a wonderful job with makeup for my wedding party. Danille was prompt and professional in her communication, sending visual inspiration to make sure we were on the same page. On my wedding day, she worked magic - my daughter had suffered an injury at cheer practice and had a bad black eye, but Danille covered it flawlessly and she looked beautiful. Danille was able to accommodate my diverse wedding party, from my youngest who wanted light, natural makeup to enhance her glowing skin to my oldest who wanted a full glam look, and my mother who has mature skin. The makeup lasted perfectly all day and photographed beautifully. Danille is extremely talented and I would highly recommend Dee Marie Artistry for your special event!

Hi, my name is Antonia! I am a bubbly and passionate freelance makeup artist based out of Massachusetts (Don’t worry, I travel all over New England for my services). With over many years of experience for special occasion makeup application, I decided to take it to the next step and specialize in my favorite makeup, bridal glam! My priority is to help people feel confident and beautiful through the power of makeup. When I am not creating looks, I’m either playing with new techniques, exploring the latest trends or spending time with my loved ones.

Being able to have Antonia do my make up was easy and so comfortable. I wasn't prepared with any of my own make up and being a Black Woman I was worried there wouldn't be the right colors. Antonia blended up some foundation and got an exact color match! I also HATE false lashes, BUT she put them on with such ease I couldn't even tell I was wearing them! Professionalism was glamorous just like my make up! Highly recommend and would book again! 100/10

Michelle was an absolute dream to work with. After having a bad hair trial I was able to connect with her for a second opinion. Her attention to detail was incredible and she made my wedding dream magic come to life. She really goes above and beyond for the bride. After finishing a comprehensive makeup look and flawless hairstyle. She went the extra mile to do a tattoo coverup on my back which made the photos feel timeless and elegant. Not only is her work amazing but her personality brings a warm and calming presence, something everyone needs on their big day. I was blown away by the quality of the make up, it was light and breathable yet somehow gave the full coverage of photoshop. The lash application was natural and gave gave me a big WOW factor. I cannot recommend her more to those looking for nothing less than perfect. She is well worth the .

Cannot say enough about Jill and her team. After having Jill do my makeup for a wedding when I was a bridesmaid, I just knew I needed to book her as soon as it was my turn to be the bride. Not only did Jill and Channing make everyone look and feel beautiful on my wedding day, but they also brought a calming and fun vibe. Jill takes the human service part of her job very seriously; knowing that it's about more than the makeup. Whether you are able to score Jill herself or not, you can also trust that every member of her team is extremely talented, kind, and professional. My mom decided to do a trial with Channing before the big day so that she could know exactly what she wanted. She called me right after the trial saying how amazing Channing was. Jill and Channing arrived early, and we were actually ahead of our overall timeline for the day. Unheard of! My mother, MIL, and bridesmaids all loved their makeup. I HIGHLY recommend Makeup by Jill Tilton to all brides (and anyone who wants to feel extra special for any reason at all)

Laura and I met through a styled wedding collaboration (she was the hair/makeup artist and I was the baker) a few months before my September wedding. I remember thinking "wow, if I didn't already have makeup services booked, I would definitely book Laura." So when my original makeup artist cancelled on me due to COVID-19, I immediately messaged Laura of Dumont Styles. I am so grateful she was available and willing to travel about 1.5 hours away. I honestly feel she was meant to do my makeup for my special day, along with a few of my closest family member's makeup. I am fair skinned with freckles/red hair and requested a natural, but glam look--Laura NAILED IT! Laura is very professional (followed all COVID guidelines to keep us all safe) and also extremely prepared! Even though she was only booked for makeup services, Laura brought some hair stuff as well. This was super appreciated, especially when my mom's updo and my curls fell out!! Laura's skills and curling iron to the rescue! We still joke around that Laura single handedly saved the day! I highly recommend Dumont Styles for all your hair/makeup needs :)

We were thrilled with Stockwell Artistry for our wedding day hair and makeup! They were extremely responsive throughout the planning process and very flexible when we had last minute changes.

Elizabeth was so kind and accommodating, making the getting ready process relaxing and fun. We especially appreciated how they made sure to understand our vision and bring it to life.

Do yourself a favor and let Robyn work her hair magic for your wedding! Robyn was amazing during my wife and I's entire wedding. We talked beforehand about what I wanted for the big day. I think she usually does a trial run before weddings, but because I live across the country we had to skip that step. Even without the trial run, though, she pulled off exactly what I had pictured. Robyn managed to craft the elusive not too tight but holds all day hairstyle. I felt so great about my hair that day! On top of being an incredible hair artist, Robyn is truly an amazing human. You're going to want to invite her to your wedding as your best friend by the time your hair is done!

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.

With a decade of experience and a balance of creativity and organization, Sara is ready to deliver perfection. With experience and training from Christian Dior Makeup Directors, and top bridal experts, Sara specializes in bridal, and editorial makeup. Her signature style? Romantic, Elevated, Uniquely Elegant and authentically YOU. Sara offers four inclusive bridal packages for parties of all sizes. Plus, she brings comfy seating, pro lighting, and a warm atmosphere wherever she goes. On your big day, Sara’s priority is to know you personally and ensure a stress-free makeup experience. Sara is based in Brighton, MA with a studio in Stoughton.

I would give Sara a million and one stars if I could. She did my makeup (and my bridal party’s) for my July wedding, and every single aspect of her operation was so professional and joy-filled! She was very proactive with her communication and every single step of the process (contract to trial to day-of timeline) was very clearly laid out. Every detail felt so personal and thoughtful, she was great with names, and everything was extremely comfortable right from the jump — like it was an old friend helping you get ready for your wedding, not just a hired vendor. I usually do not wear makeup on a day to day basis, but had a very general idea of the look I wanted and she was able to interpret my ideas into the perfect look! She had suggestions along the way but was able to guide my relative cluelessness with very straightforward and simple questions. Her energy lights up a room and she was such a beautiful addition to have in the room while our bridal party was getting ready. I especially want to point out her commitment to body positivity — despite any blemishes or insecurities you might have, one of her main mantras is that we DON’T have to apologize for anything on our bodies and it’s her job to enhance our natural beauty. Any Boston bride should 100000 percent book Sara for their wedding and I am looking forward to finding an excuse to book her for another event in the future!

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist

I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. I found that the communications and business skills acquired from my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business. From there, I shadowed and assisted numerous makeup artists in upstate New York, NYC and Boston and went out on my own in 2011. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics.

Veronica was an absolute dream to have as our makeup artist for our wedding! All my girls absolutely LOVED her, my bridal makeup was absolutely perfect, I felt so beautiful. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, her communication was phenomenal and her super sweet friendly demeanor put everyone at ease on such a busy morning. I cannot recommend her high enough- book Veronica to make your wedding makeup everything you dreamed- just like she did for me!

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.

Maggie is an actual angel - working with her was a dream! She was so communicative and helpful when I was planning, so collaborative on my look and what my party would look like. She was very responsive and asked great questions! I knew from the hair trial that Maggie was the perfect person to work with for my wedding: knowledgeable, talented, and kind. She was so considerate and kind to my mom and mother-in-law, making sure she made them both feel like movie stars. She handled multiple different hair textures, ages, and lengths with ease! We all looked amazing and my hair (a braided up-do) held through the whole day including a lot of dancing, through the night, and still looked great when I woke up the next morning. My hair didn’t have 1,000 Bobby pins or so much hairspray that it felt like a helmet but it was secure, beautiful, and comfortable (again, so comfortable I slept with it!). I would recommend working with her to anyone and would love to work with her again.
