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.

Anica did an incredible job with my wedding makeup, creating a natural, yet elevated look that lasted through a pre-ceremony rainstorm and hours of dancing. She made me feel gorgeous while still looking like myself and made sure my bridesmaids felt just as beautiful. She incorporated my feedback, offered helpful suggestions I hadn’t considered, and went above and beyond to pamper everyone, including my mother. Anica is calm, kind, and professional, skilled with a wide range of skin tones, and a calming presence amid the chaos of a wedding morning.

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. My trial hair and makeup withheld through a nap and my bridal hair and makeup withheld the whole day, event, and after party. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life and that is everything you can imagine on your wedding day. Thank you Liesel and team!

She brought multiple options based on my likes day-of and created a beautiful look that was everything I’d hoped for.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about SammiiglamVT! Sammantha did my makeup for my wedding in October of 2024, as well as for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, and she absolutely nailed it. From the very beginning, Sammantha was incredibly professional and responsive in her communications, making the planning process stress-free. On the big day, she was prompt, friendly, and brought such a calming energy that we all appreciated. One thing that stood out was her attention to detail. We had done our originial trial in April, but I had a spray tan just two days prior to the wedding, and she expertly adjusted the colors for my wedding day to ensure everything was perfectly matched with my new skin tone. She walked me through every step of what she was doing, which made me feel completely at ease and confident in her work. She even had a few recommendations, that I quickly took her up on based on her years of experience. The results were stunning—our makeup looked flawless and lasted all day, through tears, photos, and dancing. She has an incredible ability to enhance natural beauty while making you feel glamorous and confident.

Kelsey has been cutting and coloring my hair for many years and it was a no brainer to ask her to do my hair for my wedding. Kelsey was professional and accommodating through the many challenges of being a 2020 bride. I’m not the type to do a lot with my hair so it was great to have someone so skilled do such a great job with minimal direction. Kelsey took the time to understand what I wanted and she nailed it! I would highly recommend Kelsey to any bride and am looking forward to her doing it all again in 2021!

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!

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.
