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
From start to finish, working with The Stately Rose team was a pleasure. From my initial conversation with Johanna about my vision for my look, I could tell this was the right salon for me and my girls. Her careful attention to detail and genuine care for me as a potential client impressed me. Throughout the process, Yoli, the bridal coordinator, responded to all of my questions promptly and cheerfully. Marielly and Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident at my trial and were open and responsive to feedback and follow-up questions I had about my own look as well as questions my girls wanted to ask. On my wedding day, my bridesmaids, mom, and I got ready at the pink salon. The space is bright, airy, and full of cute spots for photos. Marielly and Janelle gave each of my girls the same VIP treatment they gave me at my trial and they kept us on time to ensure the rest of the day went smoothly. My group ranged widely in terms of needs (we had hair that was curly, straight, thick, and thin and girls who ranged from wearing little to no makeup regularly to girls who regularly go full glam and wanted bright and colorful looks), and each girl ended up with a look that was perfect for them! Our hair and makeup lasted all night long! While the final product was impressive, what stands out the most to me about working with The Stately Rose was how they made me feel. Every question or concern I had was treated as important (no matter how small) in the lead-up to the day. In the salon, Marielly and Janelle created a positive, fun, relaxed, and empowering environment. They were the ultimate hype-women all morning and they really set the tone for the day moving forward. It was especially meaningful to me how much care our team took in accommodating health and safety concerns among my party; requests we made to keep those with compromised immune systems or allergies comfortable and safe were made without hesitation. We all left the salon to start the rest of the busy and stressful day feeling like our best selves. I could not have asked for a better glam team and I’d recommend The Stately Rose to any bride-to-be without hesitation!

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 did an incredible job on my wedding day!! She was attentive to all the different hairstyles my bridesmaids and my mom and my mother-in law asked for. She did multiple touch ups to make sure everyone looked the way they wanted to on the way out the door, and she did not stop until everyone was happy with their look! I changed my mind from my trial after seeing one of my bridesmaid's style, and Meghan adapted quickly! My hair stayed in place the whole wedding night and everyone commented on how beautiful it looked. You want to hire Meghan because of her skill but also her reliability. She was prompt and timely, and anyone who has planned a wedding knows how many moving pieces there are and how hard it can be to find someone reliable and talented and that's exactly who Meghan is!

I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Can’t thank Cori enough for making our simple beach side wedding effortlessly beautiful.

Nikki was recommended to me by our wedding venue, Jonathan Edwards Winery, and I am so happy I reached out to her. From our very first call she understood that I wanted my makeup to look natural on my wedding day as I don’t usually wear a ton of makeup. Before my hair and makeup trial she took the time to talk about my skincare regimen and recommended skin products to get my skin ready for the wedding. My wedding day hair and makeup was better than I could ever imagine. I felt so beautiful but also looked like myself. My hair and makeup also stayed in place all afternoon and night with no touch ups so that I could focus on my wedding day. I highly recommend booking Nikki for your wedding or event!

Whether you want the more natural look, the sultry look, or the classic beauty look, Macy Lo is your girl and the makeup artist for you. Her fun attitude and dedication is impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is a professional, and truly a delight to have around. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see whether you like or dislike something or whether you want less or more. She truly gears her talents toward the individual. On the day of my wedding she came early, brought her extensive line of makeup, additional accessories, and with a smile and genuine joy and excitement on her face got to work. Macy did such a beautiful job for myself, my sister, step-mom, and my two bridesmaids at my wedding. We all felt like princesses. I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for her. On my wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and blessed. Macy played a big part in that. I would work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone I know.

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Julianna has been the only person I’ve ever truly trusted with my makeup, and having her for my wedding day was nothing short of a dream. The feeling I get when I’m glammed by her is absolutely unparalleled. From the moment I saw her work, I fell in love. She achieves the most stunning balance of glamorous and chic, while still enhancing your natural beauty rather than masking it. She made this natural girl want to go full glam and to be honest I felt like the most gorgeous version of myself. I already adored her artistry, but meeting Julianna sealed the deal. She has this incredible gift for putting you at ease from the very beginning. Her warm personality and genuine spirit instantly made me feel confident and celebrated, even before she began working on me. She’s the kind of person you just want to be around, which matters so much on the morning of your wedding when every little moment counts. Julianna not only showed up as a true professional but also as someone who made my getting-ready experience pure joy. Looking back, some of my favorite memories from the morning are simply laughing and celebrating with her and my girls while she made us all feel beautiful. She brings the perfect blend of professionalism, talent, and positive energy. I know I could not have felt as radiant and confident on my wedding day without her. She was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Julianna is that rare artist who not only transforms how you look but how you feel. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my wedding morning, and I cannot recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who will make you look and feel your absolute best.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carlene (hair) and Trish (makeup)! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible — professional, organized, and so easy to work with. They were completely on top of everything, making the whole getting-ready process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. They did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOH and a bridesmaid. They used such high-quality products, and it showed — my makeup looked flawless all day and all night without even needing a single touch-up. And despite some pretty reckless dancing on the dance floor, my hair stayed perfectly in place and looked amazing until the very end. It survived hugs, kisses, people stepping and tugging on my veil, and dancing. If you’re looking for a team that will make you feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of on your big day, look no further. I would hire them again a million times over!

Any given day, you can find Amy in her Morristown studio, with a bride sitting in a makeup chair and Amy’s trusted little companion Ellie by her feet.

Amy was incredible. She listened so carefully to what I wanted (and didn’t want) and perfectly nailed a soft, elevated, natural-glam look that still felt like me. My makeup lasted all day and night through photos, crying, hugging, and very sweaty dancing. She and Cara were warm, calming, and wonderful to be around, and our moms and my bridesmaids felt the same way. We all felt confident, comfortable, and beautiful. I would work with Amy and Cara again in a heartbeat!

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!

Working with Shelby Dufour Beauty Artistry LLC was an absolute dream from start to finish. Shelby and her team were incredibly thorough, replied to all of my questions and requests quickly, and were so accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly stunning - my hair and makeup, as well as that of my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mother, was absolutely beautiful. Shelby's team made my entire bridal party feel so gorgeous and kept the energy going all morning. Shelby had previously done my best friend's makeup for her wedding 3 years ago, and I just knew I needed her to be the one to do mine as well when the time came. Her team is so talented and was able to execute all of our different hairstyle visions flawlessly, even with the variety of hair textures in my bridal party. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, and received so many compliments throughout the day. I cannot recommend Shelby Dufour Beauty Artistry highly enough!

Makeup by Kadasia

  • Serves Essex, CT

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!

Kadasia was so helpful. I was planning a wedding from 3k miles away. She was affordable, willing to be flexible, and had great communication. She was booked for hair and makeup for myself and several others. She traveled to us in CT. She brought everything she needed and set up in a jiffy. She was on time and ready to go bright and early. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked great. If I traveled to NE again and needed to be done up for any occasion, I’d reach out to her.
