My Name is Emily Tobi, Owner of Emily Tobi MUA, specializing in bridal and event makeup all across Vermont and New England. My goal for all of my clients that I work with is to create a custom look that enhances their natural features, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident with the look we create.

If I could give Kelsey (hair) and Emily (makeup) more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment they arrived, they brought the perfect mix of calm energy, professionalism, and true artistry. They didn’t just “do hair and makeup” — they elevated the entire morning of my wedding and made me feel like the most confident, radiant version of myself. I couldn’t have asked for two better people to be part of my day. If you’re considering booking them — do it. They are exceptional at what they do and even more exceptional to work with.

Cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. My wedding day was extremely windy, and I wanted my waist-length hair DOWN!! I said I knew the risk I was taking and it was ok if it got messy, but Sarah was like no worries I got this. She did in fact have this. My waves were perfect all day and night despite being golf-carted around the venue in 20mph winds all morning, romping in the woods for a first look, and standing outside the the full force of the wind for family photos. My pictures speak for themselves. My hair was absolutely perfect for the ENTIRE event!!

Liesel and her team were amazing from the initial contact. Liesel is easy to communicate with very timely. For our wedding day hair and makeup we had Liesel and Elle(I apologize if I am wrong about the assistant). Both were respectful, aware of time, caring and honestly made the whole experience much better. If you are looking to work with a caring and kind stylist that can provide amazing hair and makeup looks for all hair types TVB is your team. I have thick frizzy hair and problem skin, Liesel attentively took note of these concerns during my trial.

Ashlyn was the perfect choice for my bridal hair and makeup. From our initial encounter through the day of the wedding, Ashlyn was professional, quick to respond, and an overall pleasure to work with. We eloped in New Hampshire and spent much of the day outside after a very rainy morning- my hair and makeup stayed looking fresh throughout the entire day. It was important for me to have a natural makeup look as I do not wear much makeup in general. This was communicated via email and boy did she deliver. Ashlyn made me feel comfortable throughout the process and the end result was amazing. You only get married once and I am so glad I chose Vermont Luxury Bridal & Beauty for my wedding hair and makeup; I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Sabrina & team outdid themselves. Not only were they some of the friendliest people I'd met, but they knew exactly what they were doing. We sent them inspo pics and Pinterest boards, and from there, they tailored our looks based on the stuff we sent them. As a Latina woman with specific makeup requirements and thick, wavy hair, I do not trust many people with my hair and makeup. However, by the end I was in shock by how well the team met my needs. Everyone else was also super impressed by the talent! Pictures show all my excitement... 3 THANK YOU!!!

She brought multiple options based on my likes day-of and created a beautiful look that was everything I’d hoped for. I don’t wear makeup often and I’m not great at describing the makeup styles I like, but Tayla listened and explained my choices very kindly and professionally, and the result was completely perfect. She also made sure my makeup would stay on and look natural and balanced outside even with my wintertime runny nose. Can’t recommend her enough!

I’m Elizabeth! I grew up the official makeup, hair and styling guru to all my friends, it was only natural I’d start a business one day. With Halloween and special effects being my passion I didn’t anticipate ending up in bridal, but I absolutely love it! I carry some of those tools and tricks along with me to elevate your look for your special day.

From the very beginning Liz was extremely responsive and accommodating. She listened to all my wants and needs and the wedding day makeup came out so perfect! I am someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up to begin with, Liz was able to make me glow and give me lashes that still kept me looking natural. One of my bridesmaids was upset with her makeup look and Liz took the time to communicate with her what the issue was and go in and fix it. Even with our limited time frame she kept the flow going! I had Liz stay for touchups leading to the ceremony and I felt like a celebrity. Throughout photos she was able to touch up anything that needed to fixed to ensure I looked flawless. I totally recommend Liz for your wedding day!

The team at Blush was absolutely amazing for our wedding at Mountain Top Resort! From our very first communication, they were professional, highly organized, and incredibly easy to work with. On the morning of the wedding, they came directly to our getting-ready suite at the resort. Eliminating the need to travel to a salon made our morning feel so relaxed, seamless, and entirely stress-free. The artists arrived early, set up efficiently, and were incredibly punctual with their timeline. They did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, our flower girl, and my mother in law. What impressed me most was how attentive they were to everyone's individual preferences. They listened carefully to what each person wanted, tailored the looks perfectly, and made sure everyone felt confident and beautiful. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Our hair and makeup held up flawlessly all day and night—which was no small feat, considering that we actually experienced a surprise bout of hail during our outdoor ceremony, followed by hours of dancing on a completely packed dance floor at the reception. Despite the wild weather and the sweat from dancing, not a single curl fell out of place, and our makeup stayed totally fresh without needing touch-ups. If you want a professional, talented, and reliable glam team for your big day, I highly recommend Blush!

Hi there! Im Alycia, full time artist part time comedian ( jk) 😉 I believe makeup should enhance your natural beauty while letting your personality shine through. With years of experience in bridal and event makeup, I specialize in creating timeless, flawless looks that last from “I do” to the last dance. Every bride deserves to feel radiant and confident, whether that means a soft, romantic glow, a bold statement look, or something in between. From your trial to the final touch-up, my goal is to make the process seamless, calming, and fun — so you feel beautiful, comfortable, and unforgettable on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first time Alycia did my makeup was back in 2017 when I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. I loved how it turned out so much, that I booked Alycia to do my wedding a few years later. Alycia listened to what I was looking for, studied my inspiration photos, provided suggestions for what would work well with my skin color/type etc. The final product was exactly what I was looking for- I felt beautiful, not too made up and didn’t have that heavy make up feeling. It lasted all night thru photos, dinner and dancing. I was so happy with my wedding makeup and how it turned out in photos. I have recommended Alycia to both my sister and cousin where she did their wedding makeup (and their bridal parties that I was in!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!

Amber and Kristy did a great job on the makeup and hair for myself and my bridesmaids, and makeup for my mom. They were fun, friendly, and informative, and everyone looked beautiful. They listened to my feedback from my trial, and everything came out even better on the day. I felt so beautiful all day, and never worried once about my hair or makeup staying in place, even through SO many tears (even when the wind decided to take my veil, it popped easily back into place)! And everything was so comfortable for how durable it proved to be - no drying products or pulling on my hair. Amber and Kristy's work is a great value, and they fit right in with my bridal party, making the start to the day that much more fun. My only critique was the timeline - I was working without a coordinator, so I trusted the professionals to lay out a timeline that they were comfortable with. Ultimately it just wasn't enough time, and despite my mother-in-law dropping out of the lineup (for unrelated reasons), my makeup still finished late. I understand this stuff happens, but I felt like the only one concerned about continuing to fall behind, and we would have had no issue getting started earlier if asked. So I would recommend some buffer in your timeline, particularly if you are DIYing it, but they did a great job!
