When looking for hair and makeup artists for our wedding, we knew we needed a team who could accommodate two brides and 6 bridesmaids on each side. Even before booking, Carla explained the process and assured us that they could accommodate our large bridal party, and throughout the planning process they were flexible and helpful. For example, we had to reschedule our hair and makeup trial at the last minute due to a canceled flight. We had four artists on our wedding day (Kari, Taylor, Emily, and Paige) and they were all wonderful. Kari and Taylor did my wife and I’s makeup and hair and we have never felt more beautiful. Kari and Taylor also coordinated throughout the morning to make sure they were able to switch places since we were getting ready in two different spaces. We had a fairly complex getting ready situation and Alea took care of everything. We’d definitely recommend working with them!

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was signing JW Artistry! I’m so pleased I had Erica, Jessica, and Marissa do my hair and make up as well as my five bridesmaids, mom, and godmother. I’m not one that wears makeup often and my skin is very sensitive, but Jessica did an incredible job making sure I was comfortable, the makeup was not heavy, and the look was exactly what I was going for. She was also extremely meticulous and accommodating during my trial! Jessica is clearly very talented, and knows exactly what she’s doing. I loved my makeup for the wedding day! It looked so natural, but enhanced my features perfectly. Now in terms of Janna and Angela, I am so grateful to both of them and how organized and responsible they are with running their business. They were so communicative, gave me updates, answered all my questions, and showed a lot of integrity throughout the whole process to make sure that I was feeling confident about my artists, my timeline, and my experience. Truly so professional and trustworthy. And finally, Erica, who was hands down one of the shining stars of my entire wedding day. I’m still in disbelief with Erica‘s devotion to my group. She really went above and beyond on the day. From keeping our flower girl busy and making sure she doesn’t touch the tools to helping my mom find her lost phone to staying till the very last minute to make sure I didn’t need any additional touchups to walk me through every step of her doing my hair to literally spending several minutes with a single individual hair and making sure it wasn’t in the way…I could not be more grateful. My jaw literally dropped when she showed me the picture of the back of my hairstyle. She also saved the day when I got a floral piece for my mother that had a white ribbon that needed to be concealed and Erica masterfully covered it up so that mom did end up wearing it on the day. My girls loved their hair and makeup too. The artists did fantastic with mature skin. And guests were stunned with how gorgeous everyone looked. I know a thing or two about makeup and Jessica is very much in the know about certain products, techniques, and trendy looks. From hydrogrip primers to ABH palettes, she knows her stuff. Also, one of my bridesmaids is a hair dresser and she was also very impressed. In fact, one bridesmaid had really short hair and Marissa nailed it somehow! Working with the length and creating a gorgeous look. She also pulled out that Fenty bronzer because she ain’t playinnn. Every artist was on time, professional, ready to go with plenty of high-quality tools and products. So grateful for this team!

I cannot write enough words to say how amazing and talentled Maekalah is! First, getting my makeup done for my engagement photos with her was so fun, we talked the entire time and it was such an enjoyable experience. I have a darker complexion and she didn’t even hesitate to pull out products that matched my skin perfectly. She used warm tones without me mentioning I like warmer tones on my skin. My eyes are hooded and have eczema which can make them difficult to work with but I swear she made my eyes bigger and there wasn’t a single piece of dry skin. She not only can do simple “no makeup” looks but also full on glam. I won’t stop recommending Maekalah with each client she gets better and better. I can’t wait to have her continue doing my makeup for my bridal shower and wedding!

My wedding-day hair came out even better than the trial thanks to some small hair adjustments I’d made, and I was SO impressed with how it looked the rest of the day, exactly what I pictured.

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.

I felt so lucky to be able to work with Heather Hider for my wedding day. During wedding planning I was incredibly nervous about the make-up, because I have had almost exclusively not great experiences when having my makeup done and do not know how to do anything myself. As soon as we had our trial I was so at ease, and it was such an enormous relief going into the wedding day knowing I was in amazing hands. As a bride you have so many details to worry about and it was seriously invaluable that make-up was not one of them. I so appreciated everything Heather did to make me feel comfortable and confident. I could not even believe my makeup on the day of our wedding, and Heather had somehow made it even better than the trial (which I already loved!!).

Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, and the level of skill and professionalism was beyond impressive. Despite the large group, Takeesha (the artist) managed to create a stunning look for each of us that lasted all day and night. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out – highly recommend for any special occasion!

Gretchen was absolutely amazing! My bridesmaids all wanted different styles, from full updos to mostly down, and she did all of our hair flawlessly and with time to spare. My wedding was outdoors in the summer, and not a single hair was out of place by the end of the day. She was professional, kind, thoughtful, and it was very clear that she loves what she does. My hair has truly never looked better than it did in my wedding day. I absolutely recommend her!

With a decade of experience and a balance of creativity and organization, Sara is ready to deliver perfection. With experience and training from Christian Dior Makeup Directors, and top bridal experts, Sara specializes in bridal, and editorial makeup. Her signature style? Romantic, Elevated, Uniquely Elegant and authentically YOU. Sara offers four inclusive bridal packages for parties of all sizes. Plus, she brings comfy seating, pro lighting, and a warm atmosphere wherever she goes. On your big day, Sara’s priority is to know you personally and ensure a stress-free makeup experience. Sara is based in Brighton, MA with a studio in Stoughton.

I would give Sara a million and one stars if I could. She did my makeup (and my bridal party’s) for my July wedding, and every single aspect of her operation was so professional and joy-filled! She was very proactive with her communication and every single step of the process (contract to trial to day-of timeline) was very clearly laid out. Every detail felt so personal and thoughtful, she was great with names, and everything was extremely comfortable right from the jump — like it was an old friend helping you get ready for your wedding, not just a hired vendor. I usually do not wear makeup on a day to day basis, but had a very general idea of the look I wanted and she was able to interpret my ideas into the perfect look! She had suggestions along the way but was able to guide my relative cluelessness with very straightforward and simple questions. Her energy lights up a room and she was such a beautiful addition to have in the room while our bridal party was getting ready. I especially want to point out her commitment to body positivity — despite any blemishes or insecurities you might have, one of her main mantras is that we DON’T have to apologize for anything on our bodies and it’s her job to enhance our natural beauty. Any Boston bride should 100000 percent book Sara for their wedding and I am looking forward to finding an excuse to book her for another event in the future!

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist 

5.0

  • Serves Essex, MA

I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. I found that the communications and business skills acquired from my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business. From there, I shadowed and assisted numerous makeup artists in upstate New York, NYC and Boston and went out on my own in 2011. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics.

Veronica was everything I hoped for in a makeup artist and more! As someone who enjoys makeup but doesn’t consider themselves very “girly” I was intimidated by the process of finding a makeup artist for my wedding. I was worried that someone would only want to do glam makeup and that just wasn’t for me. When talking to Veronica at our first consult I instantly felt like she really heard and understood what I was saying about what I wanted and my concerns about my skin (acne prone). At our trial she explained everything, answered my questions, offered advice, and talked through how she would take my bridal dreams and make them a reality. On the day of my wedding she came to me, made me feel pampered and utterly stunning. I got married in June and while it was a gorgeous day, it was hot, I was in the sun for a large chunk of the day, and I am a sweaty gal. My makeup stayed gorgeous from application (finished around noon) all the way through the dance floor that night! I used the oil blot pads she gave me in my touch up kit once before I walked down the aisle at 5pm and otherwise didn’t need any other touch ups. I could not have asked for a better experience with Veronica and I would recommend her to anyone!!

Hello future brides! Congratulations on your engagement! My name is Krystal Dent, I have been in the beauty industry for 11 years now. My goal is to provide my clients with a positive and relaxing beauty experience. Whether you want a soft or glam look, you can expect the utmost professionalism and creative techniques to bring your special day vision to life!

I met Krystal for my hair and makeup trial 8 months before my wedding and knew instantly that I was going to love her. She made me feel safe, confident, and beautiful that day and I knew I wanted her to do my hair and makeup the day of my wedding. On the day of my wedding, Krystal was the first person in the door and ready to go with everything. She helped everyone figure out what kind of look they wanted for the day and used colors and tones to compliment each woman. When she finished with my hair and makeup, my jaw hit the floor. I’m not a makeup person and never do anything with my hair other than put it up in a ponytail. I could not stop looking at myself because Krystal made me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day. I will be forever grateful to Krystal for everything she did for me that day and making me feel confident.
