Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

Nadia and Alexis are absolutely amazing. From engagement pictures to my trail (recommend everyone does one) to the wedding they were hands down incredible and also for me, one of the most important parts of my special day. I used them for my entire bridal party including moms and little girls and they were able to accommodate on the spot to everyone’s hair and makeup request. I changed my hair last second and Alexis mastered the look I was wanted. My hair and makeup lasted from Noon time until 11pm (when I took it out or else it would have last longer!) and still looked like it had just been done. My husband also took the cake to my face not once but twice, I had to use wipes to clean it off and my makeup never changed. I could go on and on but the only thing to know is they will not disappoint and you will look flawless and beautiful. Book them now you will not regret it!!

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 36 years old based out of Waterbury, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

Hi! My name is Marisa Russo, the owner of ME Salon and Spa. I have been a stylist since 2014 and I opened this salon at 25 years old in 2021. I have been a bridal beauty expert my entire career. The places I have worked for have had many flaws, so I took my ideas and knowledge and put my heart into this bridal business to give Bride's and Bridal parties the best experience from start to finish.

Marisa, Monse, and 2 other stylists did hair and makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mom and MIL. We all looked amazing and felt so beautiful. They allowed us ample time to get ready and were completely on time for everything. My hair was exactly what I wanted and stayed in place all day and night. With just a few tweaks from my makeup trial, it was exactly what I hoped for and photographed SO beautifully. Everyone in the salon was great at communicating, from booking our date, to scheduling trials, and confirming day-of timing, and pricing was so transparent!

I’m a professional makeup artist with 7 years of experience, specializing in bridal glam and waxing. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating looks that make my brides feel their absolute best. With a very diverse clientele, I’m skilled in working with all skin tones and bringing each person’s natural beauty to life. My suite is located in Wallingford, CT, and I also travel for weddings and special occasions.

My wedding was less than three months away, and I was feeling stressed because I couldn't find a makeup artist. I was ready to give up after receiving no responses from other artists or realizing that their personalities didn't align with what I was looking for. Then I found Wilda. She was responsive and listened to my past experiences, where my previous makeup appointments had not gone well and had left me in tears. Wilda was understanding and reassuring, and she scheduled a makeup trial for me in less than a week. When I met her, I felt instantly at ease. She has an amazing personality and a warm spirit. Wilda was patient and explained everything she was doing throughout the makeup trial. When I looked in the mirror, I was brought to tears – she did an AMAZING job, and I was speechless. I highly recommend Wilda; she works with all skin complexions and I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a makeup artist!

Ruby was amazing at helping coordinate with Gaby for my hair and makeup trial as well as day of. They are both so incredibly sweet and professional. It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

Justine was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding process! I loved how incredibly communicative and fast she was to respond to any and all questions. But most of all, I was absolutely in love with my wedding hair! During the trial, Justine really was open to trying out different looks, making subtle changes, and ensuring we found a style I loved for my wedding day. On the wedding day she flawlessly replicated what we had decided on during the trial. While my style was more of a loose curl, some of my bridesmaids have curly hair and she did a beautiful job working with and enhancing their natural curls too. Justine is incredibly talented. On top of it all, Justine is a great person to be around - she is easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about what she does.
