One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was signing JW Artistry! I’m so pleased I had Erica, Jessica, and Marissa do my hair and make up as well as my five bridesmaids, mom, and godmother. I’m not one that wears makeup often and my skin is very sensitive, but Jessica did an incredible job making sure I was comfortable, the makeup was not heavy, and the look was exactly what I was going for. She was also extremely meticulous and accommodating during my trial! Jessica is clearly very talented, and knows exactly what she’s doing. I loved my makeup for the wedding day! It looked so natural, but enhanced my features perfectly. Now in terms of Janna and Angela, I am so grateful to both of them and how organized and responsible they are with running their business. They were so communicative, gave me updates, answered all my questions, and showed a lot of integrity throughout the whole process to make sure that I was feeling confident about my artists, my timeline, and my experience. Truly so professional and trustworthy. And finally, Erica, who was hands down one of the shining stars of my entire wedding day. I’m still in disbelief with Erica‘s devotion to my group. She really went above and beyond on the day. From keeping our flower girl busy and making sure she doesn’t touch the tools to helping my mom find her lost phone to staying till the very last minute to make sure I didn’t need any additional touchups to walk me through every step of her doing my hair to literally spending several minutes with a single individual hair and making sure it wasn’t in the way…I could not be more grateful. My jaw literally dropped when she showed me the picture of the back of my hairstyle. She also saved the day when I got a floral piece for my mother that had a white ribbon that needed to be concealed and Erica masterfully covered it up so that mom did end up wearing it on the day. My girls loved their hair and makeup too. The artists did fantastic with mature skin. And guests were stunned with how gorgeous everyone looked. I know a thing or two about makeup and Jessica is very much in the know about certain products, techniques, and trendy looks. From hydrogrip primers to ABH palettes, she knows her stuff. Also, one of my bridesmaids is a hair dresser and she was also very impressed. In fact, one bridesmaid had really short hair and Marissa nailed it somehow! Working with the length and creating a gorgeous look. She also pulled out that Fenty bronzer because she ain’t playinnn. Every artist was on time, professional, ready to go with plenty of high-quality tools and products. So grateful for this team!

She's super thoughtful, loves what she does and made the whole "getting ready" experience so relaxing. I don't want to have photos taken again without her magic, she's incredible!

I can't say enough good things about Heather! From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and detail oriented. She sent us a guide ahead of the wedding day so we knew exactly what to expect and everyone was fully prepared. On the wedding day, she was a calming presence, contributing so positively to our getting-ready process. She made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free, and we had such a great time with her! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also truly listened to each of us about what we wanted for our hair. She made everyone look absolutely beautiful. It was clear that she cared about making us feel amazing, and she did just that! She gave us a little touch-up kit for later in the day which was so helpful. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and talented stylist who is not only great at what she does but also a joy to be around, I highly recommend Heather. I am so grateful for everything she did!

Formerly known as Studio 90, Lustre & Waves is a wedding hair and makeup company based in Dover, NH. They strive to have you looking and feeling amazing for your special occasions. They specialize in elegant and natural hair and makeup looks and will provide top-notch service to you and your wedding party.

I am beyond thrilled with the work that Calina and Elizabeth did for me on my wedding day! From our first trial run to the big day, I felt completely confident that I was in the best hands. Calina (hair) and Elizabeth (make-up) were so professional, patient, and truly listened to everything I wanted for my hair and makeup. They nailed the vision I had in mind, and really created a look that matched my personal style. I felt like the best version of myself - elegant, yet natural. On the wedding day, Calina, Susita (additional hair) and Elizabeth were calm, organized, and efficient. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and worked seamlessly with the others getting their hair and make-up done. I didn’t have a bridal party, but instead my mom, mother-in-law, husband’s aunt, and my best friend/officiant were getting their hair and make-up done. Calina and team were incredibly accommodating with this, capturing everyone’s personal style while elevating them in the perfect way. Kudos to the team too as my hair and makeup looked just as perfect at the end of the night as it did when I first stepped into the venue. I felt like I was glowing, and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and long-lasting look. The hair and make-up were also perfect for the pictures. I look like myself, but elevated, and the makeup and hair really make the photos pop. If you’re looking for talented, professional, and personable hair and makeup artists for your wedding, I highly recommend Lustre and Waves. They helped me feel so beautiful, and I am so grateful for their incredible work. Thank you for making me feel so special on the most important day of my life!

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)

Liesel’s team was professional, timely and so attuned to everyone’s needs. Even with one of my more challenging family members, they handled her difficulties with grace, kindness & class. I was so nervous going into my wedding day that how I hoped to feel about my hair and makeup was going to be difficult to execute. Instead, True Beauty VT made me feel the most beautiful I’ve EVER felt, and was so responsive to my suggestions and feedback around my color preferences. I truly appreciated so much of how they made myself and my wedding party feel on this day. It was truly the best day of my life, and in part thanks to True Beauty VT. I cannot recommend them enough. Not to mention they brought an amazing playlist that had everyone feeling playful and joyful. My hair and makeup lasted alllll day- and I mean it and my curls fell exactly how I wanted them to- and when I explained in very amateur terms how I wanted them to be different from my trial Liesel understood exactly and switched it. Not to mention- as someone with sensitive skin, even 3 days after my wedding there are no breakouts to be seen.
