I cannot speak highly enough about Marisa! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and empowered, allowing me to stay in the driver’s seat every step of the way. As someone who rarely wears makeup, I was nervous about not feeling like myself on such an important day, but Marisa listened carefully and recreated a natural yet radiant look that felt so me. I truly felt beautiful and like myself, which is all I could have hoped for. Marisa has such kind and warm energy. She was thoughtful and genuinely invested in making sure I felt my best.

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

Meghan was an actual blessing on our wedding. We got married in Maine and I had previously found someone more local to do my hair. To say that initial test with the other person was disappointing would be a gross understatement. I have very thin hair and as such bought extensions. The other person said she couldn't use all of them, and the ones she did use pulled on my hair and scalp in such a painful way that I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or so and the style looked thin and fried. Enter Meghan. Given the exact same tools and accessories she worked actual magic. She gave me wedding hair better than I ever could've imagined or dreamed of. I asked for wild and witchy and romantic and she delivered tenfold. It was so comfortable and long-lasting and I got nothing but compliments on it and she did such a good job integrating the extensions that no one believed it wasn't my real hair. She gave recommendations for which extensions to get and what products to use to prep my hair and was all around amazing. She even helped my groom with his hair last minute on the day of and he looked fabulous too. Meghan was such a joy to be around and was so sweet and kind and helpful and talented that I wish I could get married again just to use her. She's a gem and I will recommend her to anyone who asks and everyone who doesn't ask.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nikki. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. Even during our very first call, she went above and beyond—offering thoughtful guidance and great recommendations for my pre-wedding skincare routine. On my wedding day, Nikki handled hair and makeup not only for me, but also for six women in my bridal party—and she did it all with the most thoughtful, kind, patient, and calming presence. For my own look, she created the most beautiful, elegant ponytail that was exactly what I had envisioned. It felt soft and natural, stayed perfectly in place all day, and photographed flawlessly. Nikki took the time to listen to what each person in my bridal party wanted and made everyone feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. She was honest and helpful with her suggestions, incredibly organized, and somehow kept the entire morning running seamlessly without ever making us feel rushed. My hair and makeup turned out exactly as I had hoped—natural, timeless, and flawless from morning to night. Beyond her talent, what truly sets Nikki apart is her heart. She brings such warmth and positivity into a room, and it made the entire experience feel so special. I am endlessly grateful to have had her as part of our day and would recommend her to any bride a thousand times over.

I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me!

Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first time I talked to Danny on the phone to inquire about using fine line artistry, I was absolutely sure he would do an excellent job on my wedding day. Danny is so kind, attentive to detail, helpful, and a pleasure to be around. My trial was so smooth and easy, and he nailed the exact look I wanted with very vague inspiration description from me, because I know absolutely nothing about make up. He managed to find the exact color lipstick I have been searching for forever, so not only a win for my wedding, but a win for my lipstick collection too! On the day of the wedding Danny and his assistant were incredible! They showed up early and took care of everyone extremely well. Everyone was so happy with how they looked, even my girls with very particular make up tastes. They worked extremely efficiently and were very well coordinated with our hair stylist. Danny handled the entire schedule including that for hair, even though I did not use one of the stylists from fine line artistry. He was super organized and on top of everything. I cannot recommend fine line artistry enough!! I keep joking I’ll never have my make up look that good again (unless of course I hire Danny!!!) - if you get the chance to work with fine line artistry, do not pass it up! I included pics from my trial, the girls after getting ready, right before the ceremony, and a late night photo booth pic of me and the MoH.

Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job.

She was one of the first vendors you are with in the morning, and she brought the smiles, the love, and made all of the girls feel comfortable, and most importantly, the most beautiful.

I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

I used Kaydee and her team for my entire bridal beauty experience, and I couldn't have been happier! She first did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, then my bridal trial (along with a trial for my mom), and finally all of the hair and makeup services for my wedding day. I loved working with Kaydee throughout the entire process, but she truly shined on the wedding day. She was incredibly calm, friendly, and adaptable, making the morning feel stress-free. We had a large group—1 bride, 9 bridesmaids, 3 moms, and 1 grandma—yet Kaydee and her team never seemed overwhelmed. In fact, they arrived early, set up quickly, stayed on schedule, and even had time at the end for touch-ups. It was an extremely hot summer day, with a little rain and lots of humidity, but my hair and makeup lasted all night. I felt absolutely beautiful and loved how everything looked in our photos. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I especially appreciated that Kaydee enhanced my natural features without making me feel overdone. I would highly recommend Kaydee and her team to any bride looking for talented, professional, and reliable hair and makeup artists. I hope to work with her again for future events!

Shelby was amazing to work with!! I did a trial before booking and fell in love. Closer to my wedding date, I did a second trial to finalize all the little details and it was spot on! Everything I pictured my look to be, exactly like the inspiration pics I shared with her!! Shelby was so helpful leading up to my big day, as I was deciding to add extensions. She and her team showed up on time the morning of my wedding and brought such good vibes, I would highly recommend booking with her! She made me feel beautiful on my day! And also beautiful work on all my bridesmaids and my mom!

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

I had great experience getting my hair and makeup done as a wedding guest. Kadasia was so sweet, easy to talk to, and made the whole process really relaxed. She totally understood the look I wanted and gave me a gorgeous, natural style that still felt special for my cousin's wedding. I got so many compliments, people kept telling me I looked stunning!

Aradzon was an amazing wedding beauty professional to work with. Their communication throughout the process was excellent - Saina was incredibly responsive, warm, and put me at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was truly outstanding, from the gorgeous hair and makeup they created for my wedding day to their attention to detail and ability to make me feel beautiful.
