My mom and I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my sister’s wedding. My sister found Elena on online and the entire time she was extremely responsive and communicative with all parties involved which is much needed with all the chaos of wedding planning! I got my hair and makeup done first the day of the wedding, so I showed Elena the Inso pic I wanted for my hair and makeup and she knocked it out of the park and made me look like a million bucks. No notes, as she captured what I wanted perfectly! My hair and makeup lasted over 12 hours and she applied it in a way that didn’t feel heavy either as makeup usually does at the end of the day. My mom was running late the day of and Elena was so nice and patient and also worked her magic on my mom. The entire night we got nonstop comments from friends and family and I’m so glad my sister found Elena somehow. I will 100% hire Elena again for any future events!!

Candace was more than accommodating, super professional (but also fun and down to earth). My wedding was so stressful and the second I sat in her chair, she helped keep me calm and truly made me look (and feel) like the bride I always envisioned myself looking like on my big day! She offers airbrushing WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was so light, weightless but had the coverage I needed and lasted all night!! (Most artists don’t offer this service as I’ve found..) I was very apprehensive since I don’t wear a ton of makeup but she enhanced features I didn’t even know I had and gave me a polished look I felt super comfortable with! And of course my hair turned out amazing! Stop looking - book her now! I promise you’ll have absolutely ZERO regrets!!

I worked with laureen and she made me feel like a princess! I have super curly hair that gets very frizzy. She tried a dozen different styles during my trial and we picked a few we’d choose from day of depending on the weather. She was able to keep some of my natural curl in a half up half down style and whatever magic she used, it never got frizzy even though I was dancing all night.

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

My name is Natasha Vallejo. I am a Personal Hairstylist based in New York City, specializing in: weddings & engagements, editorial, production, special events, and in-home stylings. It is my goal to listen and create the look that empowers you: the look that makes you feel happy, confident, and inspired. I am committed to creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you on your special day!

I worked with Natasha Vallejo for my October 2024 wedding. She provided hair services for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, and MOB. Natasha was fantastic to work with! She did a great job on all of our hair. If someone wanted a minor tweak or change to their hairstyle, she was able to easily accommodate it. She showed up early, worked fast and finished early but stayed until we had to transfer to the venue for any last minute touch-ups. Where I really appreciate Natasha is helping me out with makeup services. After a bad makeup trial, I reached out to her to see if she had any MUA recommendations. Within 2 days she had a recommendation, confirmed the MUA’s availability for our wedding date, and confirmed that the MUA could do a makeup trial for me at the same time and date that we had scheduled the hair trial for, making my life REALLY easy. She also included the MUA’s pricing… which if you’ve ever worked with a wedding vendor… you know it is so hard to get pricing upfront. I am really grateful for her quick action and extreme professionalism in this instance. It worked out so well. My final hair and makeup was a dream! During my trial, I had a higher updo but switched to a low bun for wedding day. Both styles were gorgeous. Her curls also lasted such a long time even when you took the bobby pins out. I wholeheartedly recommend Natasha to any bride looking for hair services!

Lindsay Block got her start as a hairstylist in New York City. She trained at the renowned Frédéric Fekkai Salon and spent nearly a decade at their chic Soho location before venturing out on her own. She delivers a fresh, modern, and effortless approach to hair. Originally from California, she has lived internationally in Tokyo and London, calling NYC home since 2001. Her effervescent personality is infectious and she has the innate ability to adapt her creative vision, collaborating seamlessly with her clients. Especially the connection with her brides, most of whom are lifelong clients!

I worked with Lindsay at a wedding in NYC this past fall and I can't wait to work with her again! She created the most perfect old hollywood style waves for this classic NYC bride. So often, hair like this doesn't make it through the day, but this still looked amazing as the reception was coming to an end. Plus, Lindsay was super laid back, kind, and easy to work with. Everything was done right on schedule too! I can't recommend Lindsay enough!

We personalize our services to create the perfect package for you and your bridal party. We want to be on this journey with you from start to finish; from the engagement photos until you say “I do.”

The team did an amazing job. I used them for both hair and makeup, and I hired two MUAs and two hair stylists for a total of two hours (plus set up and final touches). I had done a *lot* of price shopping, and this was by far the most economical option to get both services done. My goal was to have my makeup look as natural as possible, and they (my MUA was Yara) nailed it: it blended into my skin perfectly and they made me look like I'm just a naturally glowing person with a flawless complexion. My hair (stylist Holly) also looked fantastic and had no problems the entire night. I had my hair down until the reception and twisted it up into an allegator clip for the dancing; when I took it out, everything fell right back into place and looked like I'd barely touched it. My MOL got covid a few days before the wedding, so we had to pivot quickly and fill her spot. My mom stepped in, despite not wanting to have her makeup done by someone else because she has had bad experiences in the past, and also, she was worried about looking age appropriate. Yara worked on her, too, and she did such a great job. My mom was so happy and relieved. She had been really stressed out, but Yara was so chill and supportive, and I know my mom is so happy she got her makeup done. To replace my MOL's hair appointment, a male friend of mine with very long hair took the spot. They didn't blink twice, and people were gushing about his hair for days. When I first did my makeup trial, my face did not accept the makeup well, and they were very quick to schedule me for a redo. I forgot to tell them before the redo that I wanted to try out the airbrush, so they scheduled me for a third session just to test it out. Everyone was really easy to work with and quick to reply. When I first reached out through their online query, I had not heard back, so I reached out again a few days later. Within an hour, I got a call profusely apologizing because my query had gone to spam for some reason. I mention this to highlight that they reply, and they reply quickly, so if you reach out and don't hear anything, it means something's gone wrong. Everyone looked fantastic, and I felt super confident in how I looked for the entire day. I highly recommend the team.

Milence Beauty 
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Hi! My name Shira Seaman and I’m a New York based makeup artist specializing in bridal and event makeup. I first dabbled in makeup back in 5th grade when I was bullied for acne. I thought in order to be pretty I needed to cover up my imperfections… later I learned that was far from the truth, and that makeup was meant for enhancing not concealing. After being a self-taught artist for several years I decided to further my education by attending Make-Up Designory in NYC. Many people have described me as being charismatic, calming, hardworking, organized and time efficient.
