If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Chrys is an absolute angel and her team is amazing. My bridesmaids and I still cannot get over the incredible job they did. Makeup lasted all night and was exactly what I wanted. I don’t wear a lot of makeup but the look she gave me, felt like an elevated me and made me feel flawless (even though I slept 2 hours the night before). She is so sweet and has a very calming presence on a day that can be very hectic!! I am obsessed with her and her work and you should definitely have her as your makeup artist!!!

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

I can’t say enough great things about Mandy and her work. She is extremely warm and welcoming and passionate about bringing your vision to life! Mandy did both my bridal makeup as well as my sister’s for my wedding. It is no shock that we both got endless compliments on our makeup throughout the night and I believe it is due to Mandy’s attention to detail and perfectionistic ways.

I help brides create a look that captures their personal style and makes them feel like the most polished version of themselves. Because there's nothing more beautiful than a confident bride smiling from ear to ear just before they say, "I do."

Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie. 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.

I did my trials for hair and makeup a few weeks before my wedding. They texted me a few hours later to see how everything held up and what I wanted to change. On the day of my wedding the helped me deal with the awful news that my venue would not be staffed for my wedding. They helped me get my mind off of all that and focus on my friends and the hair/makeup. We made the changes I wanted and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful in my life. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Were all different ethnicities, skin tones and hair textures and all looked amazing. They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue. The make up and hair held through tears, sweat, outfit changes, and head banging on the dance floor. I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day the best it could be!
