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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with True Vermont Beauty was wonderful from start to finish. Liesel was communicative and professional in her response to my initial inquiry, and the survey/questionnaire that was sent to me helped me and my bridesmaids start thinking about what we wanted style-wise. Andrea and Karla did both my bridal trial and were our day of artists – and they were both truly wonderful. For the trial – I was offered a variety of options and I really felt like the look I ended up with was something that was truly me and that would last all day (I'm an easy crier). The team also provided great logistics info like start times and when to be ready so that we had a realistic timeline to get everything done for a first look at 2PM. They also worked really well with my florist – who was providing a floral hairpiece, and worked the floral arrival time into the timeline. Day of – Andrea and Karla were wonderful. They moved through 7 hair services and 5 makeup services, they even ran early, and everyone looked so beautiful! They were also super fun, and we had a great time chatting throughout the morning. The mood was great to say the least. My hair stayed in place until the end of the night when I took it out around midnight, and the same thing with my makeup. Everything stayed exactly as it was, no movement, no running, no smearing – which was just incredible because not only did I walk around in some light rain but it was also quite warm AND I cried several times. So – absolute kudos to this team, I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Hi I'm Sarah! I am a Bridal Stylist and Colorist located at Rose Quartz Hair Studio in Leominster MA. I have been a licensed stylist since 2011 and I love being a traveling bridal stylist for New England! My favorite bridal styles to do are hollywood vintage waves, half up styles, and bridal buns! If you need anything done in the salon I specalized in lived in, low maintenance color.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah was incredibly sweet, talented, and so professional from start to finish. I did a hair trial with her beforehand, and it wasn’t quite what I envisioned. I didn't feel like myself, which I’m actually so glad I did the trial for. After that, we talked through everything and adjusted the plan so my wedding day hair was exactly what I wanted. She really took the time to listen and refine the look with me until it felt perfect. After our chat, I had no doubt we came to the right conclusion. On the wedding day, she did my hair, my mom’s hair, my mother-in-law’s hair, and my two maids of honor. Everyone’s hair held beautifully all day and night through hours of photos, movement, and dancing. I truly couldn’t say enough wonderful things about her. She made the whole experience calm, easy, and flawless.

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.

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!

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!

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.
