LA Page Makeup

  • Serves Essex, CT

Hi guys! I’m Lauren and I am the owner of LA Page Makeup. I’ve been providing makeup services to CT and New England for over 14 years and have found nothing lights up my world more than serving clients and giving them the confidence to shine! I have earned my beauty and theatrical makeup certificates, as well as certificates in lash lifting and tinting, brow lamination, and more. Continued education is so important to me! My favorite part of doing makeup is the look of awe my clients get when they look in the mirror. If I can help give you the confidence and self-love to shine, I’ve done my job right!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauren was such a pleasure to work with! She was professional, friendly, and paid attention to details. The trial hair and makeup appointment was very helpful for getting an idea of what to expect, and the day-of looked even better! I did a simple/natural look, but I would recommend LA Page to anyone looking for a fun and friendly group of people!

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.

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!

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. 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.

Cori Alexandra Hair and Makeup Artistry was absolutely phenomenal to work with for my wedding day. Their communication style was above and beyond - they were professional, enthusiastic, and genuinely sincere throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was exquisite, leaving me feeling stunning and beautiful. They were willing to work with a change in plans and made me feel so special, creating the Little Mermaid-inspired look I had envisioned. I've never felt so beautiful in my life, and everything was absolute perfection - it was everything I asked for and more. My hair lasted the entire night and into the next day, even through our lively mosh pit! I cannot recommend Cori Alexandra highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a hair and makeup team that will go above and beyond to make you feel like a true princess on your wedding day.

At Beauty by Mineko, we’re here to create a look that’s uniquely yours—timeless, elegant, and unforgettable. With personalized hair and makeup artistry, we’ll enhance your natural beauty, giving you confidence that shines from the first photo to the last dance.

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!

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! 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.

Originally from Ukraine, I’ve always had a passion for creativity and connecting with people, and I love creating a luxurious, calming experience where every client feels beautiful, comfortable, and truly cared for!

She arrived on time for our bridal package and brought such a calming presence that helped us relax before the big moment. The makeup was flawless and lasted through the entire day, and I loved how she customized each bridesmaid's look to match their personality instead of doing the same thing for everyone. I felt absolutely beautiful, and honestly can't imagine having anyone else do my makeup for future events. Ire truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and I would 100% recommend her to any couple looking for a makeup artist.

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
Geri was incredible for doing both hair and makeup for myself and my wife. From the time we set up and went to the trial with her we knew she was the right choice. We needed to change the amount of people getting done several times and she always changed it seamlessly. For our wedding we had a large bridal party and needed a lot of people done for hair and makeup (9 bridesmaids). Geri and her team were incredible of ensuring everyone got the styles that they wanted. I even changed the style I wanted for my makeup drastically from the trail I did and Geri made my vision come true. Her team was fantastic with all of our wedding party and even our year old flower girl who required some extra patience. I cannot say enough nice things about how Geri and her team made me and my wife feel on our wedding day. If you’re considering booking her you will not regret it!
