Anne is so talented and very professional while still remaining fun. I am so grateful that she was my artist for this event. My makeup was flawless and lasted till the late hours of the night after the reception and dancing. She was on time and worked with such care and a gentle healing touch. Anne was friendly and had such a loving positive vibe to her. She was a God send for sure. Even the bride (who had another artist) was in awe at her makeup talents. I will be recommending her for all events.

Awarded Best of Zola
My biggest stress during wedding planning was finding a MUA since I normally don't wear makeup. Janna was referred by my planner two acquaintances and I 1000% get why. She is professional, personal, talented, and multifaceted. I received many compliments well into the night on how good my makeup still looked after taking outdoor photos on a hot Aug day and dancing the night away. Janna made me feel like an elevated version of myself while also feeling like I had little to no makeup on. I could not recommend her enough especially to any brides who are more timid when it comes to makeup

Loved working with Ashley! I'm not a huge makeup person and wanted something natural looking but also that went with my wedding's style and theme. She conjured up a beautiful "soft glam" look that I felt beautiful in and which lasted all night. I also had a mini eyebrow emergency that she fixed the morning of the wedding, boosting my self-confidence. My bridesmaids and family also loved their makeup – saying it was the best wedding makeup they've had!

Even after baking in the sun for the ceremony my face was flawless. The lipstick stayed on through eating and drinking. I was so beautiful in every photo I took that night no filter needed.

I thrive on building connections with my clients, understanding their needs, and creating looks that enhance their natural beauty. My mission is to make everyone who sits in my chair feel confident and beautiful while delivering a flawless application that they can trust.

The team at Girl Talk Beauty Bar was incredible to work with for my wedding day look. Dustyn’s communication is open, easy, and quick. We planned our surprise wedding in 11 days (which I don’t recommend) but Dustyn was able to fit me in last minute and gave me the most perfect subtle yet sparkly makeup that I was after. The quality of her work is amazing, with a detailed and individualized approach to ensuring I looked and felt my best. Dustyn listened closely to my vision (and put up with the nonsense amount of photos I sent her looking for advice) and executed it flawlessly, helping me feel confident and beautiful on my big day. I couldn't recommend Girl Talk Beauty Bar more highly for any bride-to-be looking for a talented, professional, and personalized beauty experience.

I always leave the salon so happy, and my wedding day was no exception! Working with Krystal is always SO easy - she’s clear and responsive, so supportive, flexible, funny, all the things. She (and her assistant Jen who helped her) did an amazing job on hair and makeup for the full bridal party and mothers. Everyone was very happy and felt beautiful and appreciated how natural yet polished our makeup was. Krystal even accommodated my mother in law who on the day of decided she wanted to have her makeup done. Speaking from someone who’s never worn foundation, she loved it too! Also note - I wore clip in extensions on my wedding day and was nervous about them, and Krystal did a fantastic job securing them and making it look so natural.

Hi I'm Marissa Mancini, makeup artist Offering Makeup Services to the New England Area. For any occasion or just for fun. I’ve worked in the film industry as a make-up artist, so I understand the importance of having skin look like skin. From a natural ‘no makeup’ makeup to a full glam, I got you covered!

I hired Marissa for my wedding day on 10/10/2024, and I am so thankful I did! Marissa is punctual, professional, so sweet, and incredibly talented at what she does. I am not someone who wears much makeup regularly, but I wanted to look like a bride on my wedding day. At my trial, Marissa asked me several questions about what products I normally wear and what I'm comfortable with. Even though I am essentially clueless about those things, Marissa took what little information I gave her and created a look that was everything I wanted. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law also felt beautiful on the day of thanks to her! I couldn't recommend Marissa enough.
