    Growing up with New York City as my playground and with constant exposure to the city’s vibrant culture and style, I had been introduced early on to the concept of self-expression—ultimately using a comb to sculpt my creations. I am known for my effortless updos, and glamorous waves! I decided to create Fluff Me because as a new mom going to a salon was a mission. What better place to get a blowout other than the comfort of my own surroundings! We pride ourselves of consistency of quality styling and positive professional attitudes.

    Had such an amazing experience with Fania and her team. I wanted my hair to look like it was down but have a place to anchor my veil. She turned that vision into the most perfect reality! It stayed perfectly curled and in place all night despite the weather being damp!

      With a passion for providing high-quality services and an obsession with Makeup since the age of 3, I’ve been involved in the beauty industry since 2007. My mission is to offer my brides everything they need to look and feel their best.

      Wow, if I could have invited Abby & Bailey to actually ATTEND my wedding - I would have because that's how much I loved working with them and having them be a part of my wedding day! From the very first call (9 months before my wedding), Abby was beyond incredible. She immediately made me feel like I could rely on her and I trusted that she would make sure my wedding look was everything I wanted it to be. In the 9 months leading up to the wedding, she answered every single one of my questions within hours of me sending an email. The day of was perfect - Abby and Bailey executed my vision beyond my wildest dreams! They were excellent with my mom, MIL, SIL, and cousins and did a great job keeping us on schedule. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also FUN and personable! When looking for "the one" for hair and make-up for your wedding it's, of course, important that they are skilled, but to me, it was equally important that they fit the vibe on my wedding day since they are with you all day. Abby excelled in all those areas! Book her ASAP :-)

The day of my wedding her and 4 other girls took care of me and my bridal party (8 ladies) plus my mom, aunt, and cousin for various hair and makeup; they looked so beautiful and I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day!

        A passion for beauty, art & fashion influenced Michelle’s life from a very early age. After graduating from F.I.T. she became one of Bobbi Brown’s most “in demand” makeup artists and has enjoyed making women feel beautiful and empowered for over 15 years. Working with a line that has a clean, fresh and modern approach taught her how to use makeup as a tool to enhance a woman’s natural beauty while enabling her to develop her own signature style. Today, Michelle is one of the most talented and sought after makeup artists in the industry.

        I couldn’t stop looking at Michelle’s Instagram and was obsessed with her wedding looks. After my trial I knew I had to have her at my wedding. I had a big party (13 ladies getting makeup that day) and she was on time, lovely to spend time with, and finished everyone with time to spare. My party raves about how it was the best wedding makeup they’ve had (quite a few were including their own wedding day make-up). I couldn’t recommend Michelle more!

            Coach Lee was and has been one of the greatest investments I've ever made in myself. Initially, I reached out to her to tone up for my wedding, but now that the wedding is over, I genuinely find so much joy in working out with her weekly. Working with Lena has been more than just losing weight - it's been a journey to learning how to make smarter decisions to look and FEEL my best. Whenever I look at pictures from my wedding, I can see how confident I felt in not only how I looked, but also in how I felt on the big day, leading up to it and all the days that have passed since. Yes, Lena is tough and will push you - but she is SO SO SO supportive. She truly wants the best for you. aaaaand she does a great job getting you there. Her knowledge in regards to weight training, body recomposition and nutrition breakdown is extremely impressive. Without that knowledge, my before and after photos would not look the way they do. Whenever my friends (myself included) see those photos, they are blown away by the difference. If you want to tone up, lose weight and change your lifestyle all at the same time - then Coach Lee is worth every penny. It's never too late to invest in yourself. DO IT!

                My name is Natasha Vallejo. I am a Personal Hairstylist based in New York City, specializing in: weddings & engagements, editorial, production, special events, and in-home stylings. It is my goal to listen and create the look that empowers you: the look that makes you feel happy, confident, and inspired. I am committed to creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you on your special day!

                I worked with Natasha Vallejo for my October 2024 wedding. She provided hair services for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, and MOB. Natasha was fantastic to work with! She did a great job on all of our hair. If someone wanted a minor tweak or change to their hairstyle, she was able to easily accommodate it. She showed up early, worked fast and finished early but stayed until we had to transfer to the venue for any last minute touch-ups. Where I really appreciate Natasha is helping me out with makeup services. After a bad makeup trial, I reached out to her to see if she had any MUA recommendations. Within 2 days she had a recommendation, confirmed the MUA’s availability for our wedding date, and confirmed that the MUA could do a makeup trial for me at the same time and date that we had scheduled the hair trial for, making my life REALLY easy. She also included the MUA’s pricing… which if you’ve ever worked with a wedding vendor… you know it is so hard to get pricing upfront. I am really grateful for her quick action and extreme professionalism in this instance. It worked out so well. My final hair and makeup was a dream! During my trial, I had a higher updo but switched to a low bun for wedding day. Both styles were gorgeous. Her curls also lasted such a long time even when you took the bobby pins out. I wholeheartedly recommend Natasha to any bride looking for hair services!

We personalize our services to create the perfect package for you and your bridal party. We want to be on this journey with you from start to finish; from the engagement photos until you say “I do.”

                The team did an amazing job. I used them for both hair and makeup, and I hired two MUAs and two hair stylists for a total of two hours (plus set up and final touches). I had done a *lot* of price shopping, and this was by far the most economical option to get both services done. My goal was to have my makeup look as natural as possible, and they (my MUA was Yara) nailed it: it blended into my skin perfectly and they made me look like I'm just a naturally glowing person with a flawless complexion. My hair (stylist Holly) also looked fantastic and had no problems the entire night. I had my hair down until the reception and twisted it up into an allegator clip for the dancing; when I took it out, everything fell right back into place and looked like I'd barely touched it. My MOL got covid a few days before the wedding, so we had to pivot quickly and fill her spot. My mom stepped in, despite not wanting to have her makeup done by someone else because she has had bad experiences in the past, and also, she was worried about looking age appropriate. Yara worked on her, too, and she did such a great job. My mom was so happy and relieved. She had been really stressed out, but Yara was so chill and supportive, and I know my mom is so happy she got her makeup done. To replace my MOL's hair appointment, a male friend of mine with very long hair took the spot. They didn't blink twice, and people were gushing about his hair for days. When I first did my makeup trial, my face did not accept the makeup well, and they were very quick to schedule me for a redo. I forgot to tell them before the redo that I wanted to try out the airbrush, so they scheduled me for a third session just to test it out. Everyone was really easy to work with and quick to reply. When I first reached out through their online query, I had not heard back, so I reached out again a few days later. Within an hour, I got a call profusely apologizing because my query had gone to spam for some reason. I mention this to highlight that they reply, and they reply quickly, so if you reach out and don't hear anything, it means something's gone wrong. Everyone looked fantastic, and I felt super confident in how I looked for the entire day. I highly recommend the team.
