Jaye is a well known, highly regarded, and sought-after Health and Beauty Consultant. She is a veteran of studio and television work in the local, regional, film and broadcast community. She is recognized in the bridal world for all aspects of bridal beauty from skin care and hair care for your entire Wedding Party including bride, groom, bridesmaids and family. We specialize in Airbrush Makeup to hide tattoo’s for your special day. Jaye and her team are seasoned beauty experts. You could not have a more experienced and knowledgeable group of professional to work with. Jaye will work with you from start to finish.

Firstly, I have to commend Jaye, the contact person for the team at Ultimate Bridal Beauty. She was kind and instantly made me feel comfortable, which was much appreciated, especially considering I rarely wear makeup. My only specific requests for the makeup were to keep it light and natural and to use airbrush, and Jaye did exactly as asked. Jaye was the only makeup artist I had a trial with, mainly because all the others I had initially considered either ghosted or forgot our appointments. Since I liked the way I looked after the trial with Jaye, I decided to go with her, thinking it was a sign of sorts. For my hair, Jaye paired me with Ana. Ana is also quite nice and friendly. However, after my initial trial, my hair fell out on the car ride home, which was a bit concerning. Upon explaining this to Jaye, she was understanding and asked Ana to do another trial with a focus on making my hair tighter. While this may not be the norm for a trial, it provided reassurance that my hair would stay in place throughout the wedding day. Ana accommodated this request without any issues. On the wedding day, Jaye brought a third team member to be a hair and makeup float for everyone else involved in the wedding. I appreciate that the team was laid back and relaxed, creating a nice environment in the room. They made sure to wait for me to return after photos, before the wedding began, so they could do touch ups; however, I was a little frustrated since I had been told beforehand someone would accompany me during photos, to save time and so I would not have to continue going back and forth to the team which definitely took up time. In the end, everyone seemed happy with their wedding looks, and I have to admit, my makeup did stay put throughout the day and my hair did not fall out - though it was a general mess by the reception. This is to be expected of curls in the South Florida humidity in summer though and is absolutely no fault of Ana’s. The team's effort and willingness to address concerns make me comfortable recommending them, especially if you appreciate a more laid-back approach to beauty.

George Du Liban hair salon llc 

5.0

  • Team of 3
  • Serves New York, NY for additional fees

GEORGE DU LIBAN is located in Easton Pennsylvania. after 14years of experience and dedication. My goal is to continue sharing my creative passion for hair fashion to hopefully move up in the industry. I aim to give everyone the look they hope for and to provide the optimal quality.

I cannot recommend George and his hair styling services highly enough! The hair and makeup artist that I had booked for my wedding kind of bailed and stopped responding to my messages 3 months before my wedding date (in late October in PA, peak wedding season!) I had a newborn baby (so wedding planning was not my #1 priority, obviously) but I was still really stressing about finding H/MU for my wedding. Needless to say, thank you Universe for leading me to George! My hair was amazing. Every member of my bridal party (including both moms, who are picky!) was thrilled with their hair by George. The hair trial that I did with George a month before our wedding was excellent but he was also very receptive to me saying "I love this style but it's not what I'm looking for." He then gave me exactly the style I was looking for on the morning of. (And was totally cool with me breastfeeding the whole time.) Long story short...My wedding day would have been a whole lot stressful and a whole less glam if George had not been involved. He's also just a really lovely person with a really interesting backstory and I just wish him nothing but abundance and further success. THANK YOU, GEORGE!

New York, NY

Bridget began her career mentoring under legendary makeup artist Sir John, working as his first assistant for nearly 6 years.

Her work has been featured in top fashion publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle.

    I could not be happier to have selected Bridget as my makeup artist for my wedding last month! She was incredibly professional, transparent about pricing, and beyond fun to be around. She went so above and beyond, from making sure I was happy with the look at the trial to ensuring every part of me looked perfect on the big day (she even covered a bruise on my shoulder I totally didn't even notice - talk about attention to detail!). She even made sure the flower girl felt involved, giving her a cute little pink lip gloss and using a brush with no product on it to make her feel pampered. I've never gotten so many compliments or felt so stunning. I can't wait to see the pictures so I can relive this glam as much as possible!

    Rachael was a pleasure to work with on my daughter's wedding day! She was very professional and willing to go above and beyond to help make the day as stress free as possible. Rachael was scheduled to do hair and makeup for myself and my daughter but she did such an amazing job that she ended up doing a few of the bridesmaids makeup as well. Rachael finished us in perfect timing, she listened to our requests, and gave us the exact "look" we were hoping for. Everyone looked beautiful! Rachael is a true artist and I highly recommend her to do your hair and/or makeup for any special occasion!
