  • Serves South Ryegate, 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.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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 and her team were my hair and makeup artists for my wedding, and they were an absolute dream to work with. As someone who is far from adept with hair and makeup, I was pretty much clueless with how I wanted to look on my wedding day. During my trial, Sabrina and Rachel were so patient and eager to help guide me to choose the look that felt right for me. On wedding day, Sabrina and Jenny were so timely and communicative. We had a relatively strict timeline in order to complete our wishlist of photo shots. They were so adaptable throughout the whole process and helped me manage my stress throughout the day. As for her work - Sabrina is truly an expert at her craft. Not only did she help me select a look that worked best for my features and executed it perfectly, the products she used were fantastic! After many tears, rain, and three outfit changes, hair and makeup remained flawless. Beyond their work, Sabrina and her team are some of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting throughout my chaotic wedding season. All it takes is one conversation with Sabrina to see her goal shine through: to make you feel your very best, and this goal was certainly achieved :).

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!

I’m so grateful I found Liv to be part of my special day. Not only did she absolutely crush it day of, but she helped me to become so confident before the day arrived. I’m not a huge make up person, I’m actually pretty terrible at doing it myself. I generally stick to mascara and an eyebrow pencil so knowing what I “wanted” was overwhelming to say the least. Liv walked me through all my options and encouraged me to speak up when I didn’t like something (being a pathological people pleaser, this is hard!!). My skin is very dry so when I left everything looked amazing but as the day went on, I noticed caking. I let her know and she explained why what happened had happened and we talked about what I could do day to day to help, along with scheduling facials to prep my skin before the big day. It truly paid off. Not only was it a great pampering but my make up day of stayed ALL DAY AND NIGHT! Even through the happy tears and heavy dancing that took place! It was unbelievable. If you’re looking for someone who is down to earth, easy to talk to and collaborate with, a great listener, and a master of their craft, look no further. Liv is your girl!!!

In fact, this was only the second time that I had done professional make-up. Alycia was amazing though. She immediately understood the vision that I had for the wedding. The make-up accentuated my natural features. I have actually never felt more beautiful than that day. Alycia was also so wonderful to work with. She even joined us for the first look and ceremony.

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.
