  • Serves Newport Center, VT

Sensational and sincere are two of a bounty of words that describe Alayne Curtiss, the talented and innovative entrepreneur behind Make Me Fab. Having spent the past 20 + years educating herself and her clients in the art of aesthetics, cosmetics, and great hair in all forms; cutting, coloring, and styling. From print to performance, Alayne’s work has been featured on the pages of Glamour, Women’s Day, Martha Stewart, Self, Instyle Hair, Well Wed, and Biker magazines. Her eyebrow waxing and shaping are legendary for literally changing women’s faces.

From the moment I reached out to Make Me Fab, their communication was consistent, easy, and open. Julie's warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease, and she made me feel like a model but also still looking like myself. And Lilly did my hair which stayed locked in place through rain and hours of dancing. The entire team at Make Me Fab contributed to making me and my bridal party feel so beautiful and confident on my special day. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Hello and welcome! My name is Anica, and I would be honored to be part of your wedding day. My style focuses on creating makeup that is timeless, fresh, and effortlessly elegant, enhancing your natural features so you look and feel like the most radiant version of yourself. Originally from Belgrade, Serbia, I bring an international background in art and design to my work. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Textile and Clothing Design and trained at the respected Šumatovačka School of Fine Arts. I would love to learn more about your vision and help create a look that feels beautifully and authentically you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anica is fantastic. Her work is beautiful and she helped me and my bridal party to feel confident and pampered on the day of the wedding. I chose to do a trial before the wedding on Anica's recommendation, and I am so glad that I did! I did not realize my skin would have sensitivity issues to some of the products so it was great to find that out BEFORE it was my wedding day. Anica work around these sensitivities and created a look I am still so in love with. The pictures I attached are intentionally spaced throughout the day to show that the makeup application held up throughout photos, ceremony, and the after party. Not only is Anica talented, but she was able to provide council on what type of makeup to choose based on my/other recipient's desires and complexion needs. She was even willing to apply false lashes to one of my bridesmaids, last minute, who did not choose to book a makeup application! I cannot recommend Be Pretty enough!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about True VT Beauty! Leisel was amazing to work with — she went over all the details with me ahead of time and made me feel so comfortable during my trial. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure my hair and makeup matched my vision perfectly. On the wedding day, Leisel and her two assistants were total pros. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and made the whole morning fun and relaxed. They did hair and makeup for me, 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and my sister-in-law — everyone looked absolutely beautiful and felt great. My own hair and makeup came out exactly how I hoped and lasted all night long! It was so convenient having one team handle both hair and makeup, and I loved how easy they were to communicate with.

I absolutely loved working with Sabrina on my wedding hair and makeup! When it comes to hair and makeup I know very little but Sabrina was amazing at helping me narrow down the final look between all of the instagram and Pinterest inspo I had. Sabrina was kind and thoughtful throughout the whole planning process. For both the trial and wedding day Sabrina and Jenny showed up on time and were super prepared. My mom, sister, MOG, and my grandmas also loved the way their hair and makeup turned out. She even helped tame my fiancées flow haircut. A testament to Sabrina’s commitment, the week of my wedding she was in a bike accident and still managed to fly from Georgia to Vermont like nothing had happened! I could not recommend Sabrina more!

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!

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!

Welcome to my page. I’m Marissa, a licensed cosmetologist with years of experience behind the chair and on location. With over 6 years in freelance artistry and 9 years working at a leading style bar, I’ve refined my expertise in blowouts and makeup for weddings, proms, media projects, baby showers.

Marissa is just incredible. She did hair and make up for me and my entire family coming from Brazil for my engagement party and not only she made coordinating the whole thing incredibly easy, we all felt stunning and in awe of her skill on both fronts. She even made a family member who was feeling insecure about a recent fracture on her face feel confident enough to get her make up done, which totally transformed her (and my) day. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but if you’re looking for a touch of calm magic on your big day, look no further, Marissa is the one.
