Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Noelle is a magician when it comes to hair and makeup! I sent her photos of what I wanted, and she matched them to a tee. I just got married 2 days ago and don’t have all of my photos. But I truly wish I had photos from the end of the night to show you, because even on a sunny 87 degree day, my curls were still in tact, my makeup looked like it had just been applied, and everything was still all around flawless. Seriously Noelle, you are MAGIC. Thank you for everything. You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and you were a ton of fun to work with. I can never thank you enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of getting new-to-me services at Alder: my wedding hair (Kristen) and makeup (Anne). Two of my bridesmaids and also my mom (she was with Kayleigh) had their hair and/or makeup here. For my makeup trial, I had no clear idea what I wanted. The trial was fine, but afterwards I realized I didn’t love it and Anne was very gracious about letting me do another trial, and made me feel 0 guilt about it, and as the person who is forever convinced that I’m a burden, I am so, so grateful for that. Second trial went great and I loved the look. Felt very much like myself but better! For hair, I had a particular look in mind, and the trial went amazing and was everything I wanted! My actual wedding day was on a weekday and my party was small, so our hair and makeup were done at Alder (they will go on site if you have a minimum number of people) which was a relief to me because my venue’s getting ready area was not well lit, and Alder’s decor is always on point. We had some hiccups about appointment time (I forgot to factor in the fact that my venue was an hour away from the studio and my bridesmaids scheduled independently) but Kristen, Anne, and the Alder team were accommodating and again, didn’t make me feel like a burden even though I 100% should have scheduled all the appointments at the same time to avoid that problem in the first place. I’m not perfect! They even let us bring in breakfast while getting ready and it was just an all around good time. I felt like a princess, and my bridesmaids and mom looked so gorgeous!.

Working with Desi was a lot of fun. Her professionalism and her dedication to making henna a highlight of the event really shows. She created an amazing henna station with decor like tablecloths, tealights, and thaalis, which blended in perfectly with the wedding event.

Though we were “competitors”, she created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that made working with her enjoyable.

I am Chinese American and typically don’t wear make up (and have never worn foundation before). I obviously wanted a full face of makeup on my wedding day, but knew that a heavy full face would make me look silly instead of glamourous. I specifically wanted to look at portfolios of MUA that have done make up on asian eye shapes as I have struggled with eyeshadow and eyeliner on my own eyes watching generic YT clips. I was so happy to find Drake Artistry Collective. They have a portfolio showcasing their capabilities doing natural make up on Asian Americans and their capabilities of doing heavier makeup as well. I shared my concerns of not wanting to “feel the heaviness of makeup on my face” and the fact that my hair is extremely thin/fine and gets oily very easily. Crystal listened to these concerned and told me exactly how she would handle it. She was great in her explanation on what she does and how she differs from other vendors. I had reached out to several before finding her and after speaking to her on the phone, I knew to move forward with her. Trial run went perfectly - she even took some pictures in a “professional” setting to show me how the makeup would look like in certain lighting. We touched base after the trial to ensure everything lasted as it should and any tweaks that were needed. On the day of, her and her team arrived on time and were professional the whole time. I had a large bridal party of 8 people as well as my mom and MIL AND the flower girl. And they were great in timing things out and leaving space for any touch ups that were required. They even thought to schedule out each of my girls according to hair thickness and etc. Everything was perfectly planned. I would 100000% recommend them to anyone looking for a MUA.

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.

I am incredibly passionate about what I do as a Makeup Artist. Making Women feel beautiful is truly my purpose and my passion! It will always be all about your transformation for me. Let me be the one to get you ready and enhance your look just because or for a special event!

Samantha was so great to work with from the second I reached out to her. I was unsure about hiring a makeup artist at first because I am extremely particular, and quite frankly wasn’t in my wedding budget. But after seeing pictures of her work, I was shocked at how flawless she her clients look. I was hooked and had to try. But upon deciding, she was very patient with all my questions, concerns, and my most favorite thing was she was not the slightest bit pushy when I told her I wanted to think about it. Her professionalism and patience was superb and her talent is perfection through and through! She listened to exactly what I wanted, I even spoke up about a slightly different look and she was very receptive and didn’t try to sway me otherwise. And I was very pleased with the outcome! She takes her time which I believe is important, and I had several compliments on my makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding day. I plan on booking her for a few upcoming events next year, and looking forward to working with her again! Do yourself the favor and schedule a consultation with her! I promise you will not be disappointed!
