It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how loved and supported I felt on the best day of my life. Sara was a huge part of that. Sara and her team made me look and feel more beautiful than I have ever felt, and most importantly, I was comfortable and stress-free throughout the entire process. Sara is an absolute master at her craft, and incredibly professional every step of the way, but it was her kindness and openness that I valued the most. From our initial phone call, to the trial, to the day of, Sara had me laughing and chatting as if we had known each other for years. I felt comfortable sharing my bridal anxieties with her, and trusted that she was going to make my girls and I look our best on the big day. Because of Sara and her team, getting ready for the wedding was one of the most fun parts of the day. It was relaxed, stress-free, and fun, and I was sad to see Sara and her team go at the end of it, because I just wanted to hang out with them all day! One specific thing that sets Sara apart was her ability to work with every type of client. My mom does not wear makeup nor does she feel comfortable getting all dolled up, but Sara handled that with a pro, not making my mom feel any pressure with how she looked. She did such a masterful job that I even caught my mom checking herself out in the mirror a few times throughout the night, which never happens! Hiring Sara will be the best decision of your wedding planning experience - I cannot recommend her enough!!

Cannot say enough about Jill and her team. After having Jill do my makeup for a wedding when I was a bridesmaid, I just knew I needed to book her as soon as it was my turn to be the bride. Not only did Jill and Channing make everyone look and feel beautiful on my wedding day, but they also brought a calming and fun vibe. Jill takes the human service part of her job very seriously; knowing that it's about more than the makeup. Whether you are able to score Jill herself or not, you can also trust that every member of her team is extremely talented, kind, and professional. My mom decided to do a trial with Channing before the big day so that she could know exactly what she wanted. She called me right after the trial saying how amazing Channing was. Jill and Channing arrived early, and we were actually ahead of our overall timeline for the day. Unheard of! My mother, MIL, and bridesmaids all loved their makeup.

Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience.

Kerry and Maryann are a dream team! I knew right from the beginning they were a great choice, my trial was amazing! They helped me find the right color and style for my big day. As someone who doesn’t typically wear makeup Maryann made me feel comfortable and confident with lightweight makeup. I handed Kerry a challenge with the goddess crown I wanted in my hair for the day and she hit it out of the park. Both ladies were on time, considerate, kind, and a blast to get ready with on the wedding day. Kerry took on every weird style my bridesmaids came up with and my crown stayed in all night. Maryann didn’t bat an eye when I changed the colors and style of my makeup and even managed a botched eyelash lift to give me gorgeous lashes for all my closeups. All together they managed 3 bridesmaids, 2 moms and me (the bride) in perfect timing and the perfect start to a perfect day. Beauty Boston was a dream to work with in every capacity. Marissa was fast to respond to emails and answered all my questions about the whole process. I cannot recommend them enough.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shannon! On my wedding day, she made me feel absolutely stunning—inside and out. From the moment we started, their professionalism, kindness, and artistry put me completely at ease. She listened carefully to what I envisioned for both my hair and makeup and brought that vision to life in a way that surpassed all my expectations. My makeup was flawless, enhancing my natural features beautifully without feeling overdone, and my hair stayed perfectly styled the entire day. I received so many compliments! Not only was she incredibly talented, but their warm and calming energy made the entire experience enjoyable, even amidst all the wedding-day nerves. She truly has a gift for making people feel confident and radiant.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your big day! With 14+ years of experience, I’ve seen (and tamed) it all. If you need someone to keep your hair flawless through happy tears, epic dance moves, and maybe one too many champagne toasts—I’m your girl. I travel far and wide to make sure brides look like royalty. Think of me as your fairy hair godmother—except with a curling iron instead of a wand, making sure you’re stunning well past the afterparty. My goal? To make you feel confident, radiant, and 100% you. Let’s make some magic (and great hair)!
