Hola, My name is Geri! I always joke that my passion for all things beauty started in 4th grade after a tragic haircut from my father. I have been in the industry for about 12 years and every day I fall more in love with it. I started off as an assistant and now specializing in bridal hair and makeup. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new people and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special memories.  I look forward to adding more!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a wonderful experience with Geri as my bridal hair and makeup artist. She brought my vision to life, creating a beautiful and natural look. She was very easy to talk to and also shared some hair and makeup tips and tricks during our trial. I highly recommend her services for any bride looking for a talented and reliable artist!

My wedding was outdoors in the summer, and not a single hair was out of place by the end of the day. She was professional, kind, thoughtful, and it was very clear that she loves what she does.

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!

Beauty by Jessica Tiffany will travel to the destination of your choosing and will happily service all of your wedding party! Contact us for a personalized, pampered experience!

Writing reviews was the last things I had on my big ol wedding to-do list. I mostly put it off because I truly did not know how to put into words how perfect most of my vendors were. Jessica was no short of perfection. She was incredibly easy to schedule with, chat with about what I wanted, and offered up advice on all things beauty. Her package deal is incredible, her pre wedding face kit is amazing, her touch up kit is still use to this day, and her own facial products are some of my faves. I didn’t have “mini facial” on my wedding morning timeline but omfg I would tell every bride it’s absolutely necessary. During my trial (at her adorable home studio!) we went in a traditional direction and 5 months later I asked her to pivot entirely and go foundation-less. I’d seen it on her Instagram page and was so impressed and oh man did she pull it off. I felt so natural (I’m not someone who usually wears anything but moisturizer and mascara) and to not have to wear foundation on my wedding day was such a relief. I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day - and so did my bridesmaids. Jessica is worth. Every. Penny. And I highly recommend her partner in crime Allison who made scheduling so easy and honestly brought such a bff vibe to the wedding day it was amazing. 5 stars , 10/10, A you name it!

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 :)

Hello beautiful brides to be! I am a Boston based makeup artist servicing all of New England. I am a full time nurse, but makeup helps me release my creative side. I suffered with adult acne from the age of 18 onward and that is what truly sparked my interest; I found the confidence I had lost for many years. I specialize in natural makeup, enhancing all the features you already have in order to send you down the aisle feeling like the best version of yourself - don't worry I can add plenty of flare for my glam brides! Message me to help bring out the bombshell in you! xo, Michelle

Michelle was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day! From the very first consultation, her communication style was organized and responsive but also fun and incredibly helpful. She helped refer me to other vendors and her artistry is simply stunning. She has a true talent for creating beautiful, natural-looking makeup that makes you feel like an elevated version of yourself. On the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond, writing me a lovely congratulatory letter and providing touch-up kits for me and all of my bridesmaids. Having Michelle there to get us ready was such a calming and enjoyable experience and she is the person you want to be with your crew when you are getting ready for your wedding. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

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.

A few months before my summer 2024 wedding, I was struggling to find a makeup artist in Boston experienced with Asian faces. My bridal party and I are mixed-race Asian, and after an unsuccessful trial with another artist, we realized we needed someone skilled in techniques that complement Asian features. We found Fei Xu's website, and though she was booked, two team members, Yuki and Priceless, were available. They created stunning, personalized looks for all of us, closely following our inspiration photos and feedback to ensure we were happy with the results. For my bridal hair, I changed my mind from the half-updo look I had done at the trial and opted instead for a vintage pin-curl style on the wedding day. Yuki used authentic pin-curl techniques to craft the old Hollywood look I envisioned—something other stylists had not been able to do with the same reference photos during previous trials. My makeup also held up beautifully through the entire day and night and remained beautiful and luminous even after getting sweaty on the dance floor! Overall, we were blown away by the skill of Fei's team and would highly recommend their services.
