Lil’ Chop

  • Serves New York, NY

Lil’ Chop is here to offer quick, yet quality hair services. We’ve taken Headchop’s top requested chop and styling services to create an atmosphere providing to our folks on the go! Our express studio provides perks with quarterly memberships, group bookings for you plus a crew, and a genuinely new way to experience being taken care of ;)

More than anything, I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day. That meant I was committed to wearing a curly hairstyle with my natural texture. After searching for curl specialists near my venue in the Hudson Valley (and striking out repeatedly), I asked my hairdresser if anyone at Lil' Chop did weddings. As it turned out, Martha Ellen Mabry, the shop's owner, loves styling clients for their big day and was available for my date. Booking her was a no-brainer. I felt an instant connection and trust with Martha Ellen, who worked closely with me in our trial to ensure that my updo was not only the look I wanted but comfortable to wear for many, many hours. On my wedding day, she was a bright, calm and fun presence, and she totally nailed the look that everyone was hoping to achieve. My hair looked amazing all night, and the pins were placed so comfortably that I was able to fall asleep with the updo in. I'm so grateful that Martha Ellen was able to be part of my team, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Bringing a luxury makeup experience from New Jersey to south Florida, Giuliana is a makeup artist and licensed cosmetologist with a decade of experience. From the first inquiry, to the moment you look in the mirror on your wedding day, Giuliana is with you every step of the way to make sure you walk down the aisle with the bridal look of your dreams.

I found Giulianna on Zola and booked her for my bridal hair and make up for my wedding day. I did a trial hair and make up based on some inspiration photos, and I took some notes of things I wanted to change or try differently on my wedding day. For my wedding she had those notes and made the changes happen! I was SO happy with my overall experience and final look. She was always very professional, sweet, and really nice to work with. I definitely recommend!

Made Up On The Go

I started my career in beauty going to cosmetology school directly after high school. For me it was a quick way to hit the job market as a young single mother. If you asked me back then I would have said "beauty school is just a way to pay for college". After graduating BS and working in a salon I started college soon to realize that beauty was my absolute calling. I was scouted by a photographer and started shooting every week. I then made my way into NYMBFW. After that, two years in I booked my first celeb client. There really was no looking back after that, I fell in love! In 2014 I glammed my first bride realizing this was my calling!

I was lucky to work with Mary-Ashanti for my bridal hair and makeup. She has a great energy, is incredibly affirming of whatever vision you have, and will start your wedding day off right. She will ask you throughout the process if you like the direction she is going in, and is very receptive to feedback. I really appreciate that she was willing to be creative when I threw her a few curveballs in terms of what we had planned for my hair on the day of the wedding. I also really appreciate that she is skilled with curly hair and encourages me to keep my hair curly and natural. I highly recommend working with Mary-Ashanti!

I cater to all types of weddings and can serve any style the client requests. I work in a timely yet efficient manner. Always punctual and professional. You can check all my work BridalbyNatalieMichelle

I was married back in September 2023 and had the pleasure of working with Natalie 3 times for our wedding events. She beautified me for my bridal shower and then our 2 wedding events (Hindu Wedding and Mexican Wedding). For my Bridal Shower, I have never received SO many compliments like I did for my hair and makeup. My friends and family raved about how beautiful I looked and I gave all the credit (and hopefully some new business!) to Natalie! She truly made me start to feel like a Bride on that day. For our first wedding event, the Hindu Wedding, Natalie and her I DO CREW 3 (Yvonne), came early in the morning to my mom's home to glam my bridal party and myself. This could not have been a more enjoyable and fun experience to kickoff our first wedding event! Natalie and Yvonne did an incredible job with making sure all 5 of us had gorgeous glam makeovers that lasted ALL DAY and beautiful hairstyles that stayed intact even through all the dancing! Natalie truly made me feel like a queen on this day and I could not have been happier!! For our Mexican Wedding, Natalie met us at the venue and we had an amazing time getting all dolled up one final time. My hair and makeup, as the bride, was stunning. It was everything that I envisioned for my Mexican Wedding and it truly made me so happy that I went with Natalie as my bridal hair stylist/makeup artist. She truly is the best in this business! Our whole bridal party who had their hair/makeup done absolutely loved working with Natalie and her team. We cannot thank you enough for making us all feel extra beautiful for these events. I will highly recommend Natalie and the I Do Crew to any brides!

Makeup by Lucas 

5.0

  • Serves New York, NY

Lucas knew at a young age that his future consisted of getting to work with others while simultaneously creating art and beauty. Lucas moved to NYC at the age of eighteen from the deep south ready to hit the ground running and chase his every dream. He attended a makeup and design school and after completion wasted no time getting his career started. After years of working in the makeup artist industry, Lucas has tried a taste of just about anything you could think of. Between personal clients, celebrities, editorial photo shoots, and of course weddings, Lucas has truly come to understand his strength and success when working with brides.

Lucas is the most talented makeup artist I've ever met/experienced. I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding (and the day of my makeup trial) and it's without a doubt because of him. My wedding make up lasted perfectly all day and night (12 hours: from first look through the after party). He thinks of everything, and even built in buffer time to his own schedule that day so that he could stay through our first look and private vows, in case I cried, before leaving for another client. So professional, so talented, so kind, and SO FUN. Hire him immediately for any event.

Christina Delfino Makeup Artistry 

5.0

  • Serves New York, NY

Christina Delfino specializes in fun, authentic, non-traditional wedding makeup for cool kids. A collaborative approach to the wedding makeup process means that we’ll work closely on identifying your style inspiration, trialing your wedding makeup, solidifying your day-of needs, and achieving the perfect wedding look through a stress-free, luxe beauty experience.

I knew Christina would be "my person" immediately from her website - her inclusivity, honesty, professionalism and welcoming approach shone through as a wonderful addition to her amazing artistry. I was thrilled to see she offered "Grooming" services as my partner wanted his makeup done as well for photo-readiness, and it disrupted the conventional cishet wedding frustration that only THE BRIDE should look her best. She also totally understood my less-conventional hair desires and recommended a brilliant hair artist (Lucy LaRiot) who totally nailed the look - my glam team was completely badass thanks to Christina's inherent coolness and her totally on the nose tips. We both had a fantastic trial and looked great for our engagement photos, and the day-of was well organized under Christina's excellent timing (and her second artist's - covering over a dozen folks on a tight turnaround.) I of course loved my look (which barely budged - to the extent that I kept it on the next day with the most minor touch up like the gremlin I am, sorry pores!) but I was most amazed by the magnificent range she accomplished, from soft mom looks and beautiful polish on my lovely guy to a wild 60s glam for my very specific friend who brought a dozen reference photos. I admire Christina as an artist, person and professional and am so glad to have had this occasion to bring her into my world.

Face Time was such a joy to work with. The administrative team (specifically Katherine) is so professional, polite, kind, and easy to communicate with. I booked Face Time for my bridal hair and make up and hair and make up for 10 other bridesmaids and family members. Everyone looked absolutely incredible and their looks lasted all night (some from 8:45am to midnight!!). My cousin even suggested it would be worth flying them out to Texas for my sister's wedding. That's how good everyone looked! If you are able to, I also recommend getting ready in their studio! It was such a nice, airy, beautiful space. We even brought in brunch supplies and it was great. The artists are so talented and nice. The quality of work is truly incredible for how fair the pricing is compared to other local services. Truly cannot recommend enough!

The Henna Doctor

  • Serves New York, NY

Hello! My name is Mayisha. I am an eye doctor by day, and a henna artist by night. I was born and raised in New York City and am currently living in Toronto. I consider both cities my home and love to work with clients wherever they may be located! I am super passionate about henna and love bringing my science background into it. I love teaching others about why henna is so special and works the way that it does. Every client I work with is precious to me, and my favorite part my job is watching a bride beam as she sees the magic unfold on her hands. It makes me feel so blessed and privileged to be a part of her special day!

I have had the pleasure of working with The Henna Doctor on multiple occasions. My very first experience with her was when she did my henna for Eid, and she was amazing. She is able to adjust her patterns to your liking, and uses superior quality natural henna. The stain of the henna was amazing, and she also provided after care instructions and oil that helped the stain deepen even further. The Henna Doctor also did my henna for my nikkah, and then 9 months later for my wedding. Once again, she did not disappoint! The stain, the intricacies of her work and the aftercare she provided was beyond expectation. She goes above and beyond and beyond for her clients, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
