Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were prompt, proactive, and made me feel at ease. Their communication was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure my hair and makeup were perfect. Despite the incredibly windy conditions that forced us to move cocktail hour inside, my hair and makeup stayed flawless through all the outdoor photos and the rest of the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, even days later. My mother-in-law even shed a few happy tears at how beautiful her make up looked. The team at Stately Rose has such great personalities - they were efficient, skilled, and made the entire process so easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for an amazing beauty team for their special day.

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!!

Carleen & her team at Chameleon Brides will not disappoint! I had very big dreams for my bridal hair and makeup and they did a phenomenal job. I have thin hair that rarely holds a curl but with Carleen’s expertise and some clip in extensions she pulled off a jaw dropping look worthy of royalty that lasted all night!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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!

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!

Jena was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her services enough! As someone who’s idea of wearing makeup is mascara and tinted moisturizer, it was really important to me that I still looked like “myself” in all of the pictures and Jena’s soft glam style accomplished exactly that! I looked like myself - just an elevated version! She was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process and patient with the fact that I know very little about makeup. I really felt beautiful on my wedding, and I owe a lot of that to Jena. She and her entire team were just delightful - do yourself a favour and book her!
