From the moment I did the hair and makeup trial up to my wedding day Loran, and Lauren have been easy to work with. They show they really care about you, not just by making the bride feel comfortable on the special day but also the other people that will be receiving the service. They were on time and very professional. Everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup . It also lasted a very long time and everyone got many compliments. I couldn't have been happier with who I chose to make me feel. You will not be disappointed !

Anne Fitzgerald is here to help you achieve what you envision for your wedding makeup look, collaborating with you in achieving glowing skin health, scheduling a bridal makeup trial, and being a calm, confident presence on your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anne did a wonderful job with my makeup for my wedding day! I have never had my makeup professionally done so it was hard to know what to ask for, the trial helped so much with this! I was nervous about finding someone who would be able to work with redheads and Anne was able to perfectly match my skin tone and eyebrow color. Anne was such a calm presence the morning of the wedding. She was able to exactly capture my vision and I felt beautiful! Makeup held for the entire day and photographed amazingly. Anne is a true professional and I am so happy I hired her for my wedding.

Hi! My name is Danny, and I am a professional makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the industry. I have a passion for creating beautiful and unique looks, and I have honed my craft in various areas, including bridal, editorial, and New York Fashion Week. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and am well-versed in tailoring my skills to meet their specific needs. Whether it's for a classic bridal look or a bold and avant-garde editorial spread, I have the expertise to make it happen.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish it was amazing working with Danny (makeup) and Lia (hair) for my wedding day glam. I've never had my makeup professionally done before and Danny was extremely helpful working with me to decide what to do for my wedding day. I also have naturally curly hair, and it was important for me to work with someone who knows how to style it, so Lia was the perfect person! I highly recommend doing a trial because that allowed us to talk through what I thought I wanted (both hair and makeup) and make some adjustment for the actual day. Throughout the process Danny was quick to respond, very easy to work with, and clearly has a lot of experience. I could not have been happier with my look on the day and would recommend him and his team to anyone.

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!

Girl Talk Beauty Bar

With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I am a passionate makeup artist based in Newport, RI. I thrive on building connections with my clients, understanding their needs, and creating looks that enhance their natural beauty. My mission is to make everyone who sits in my chair feel confident and beautiful while delivering a flawless application that they can trust.

The team at Girl Talk Beauty Bar was incredible to work with for my wedding day look. Dustyn’s communication is open, easy, and quick. We planned our surprise wedding in 11 days (which I don’t recommend) but Dustyn was able to fit me in last minute and gave me the most perfect subtle yet sparkly makeup that I was after. The quality of her work is amazing, with a detailed and individualized approach to ensuring I looked and felt my best. Dustyn listened closely to my vision (and put up with the nonsense amount of photos I sent her looking for advice) and executed it flawlessly, helping me feel confident and beautiful on my big day. I couldn't recommend Girl Talk Beauty Bar more highly for any bride-to-be looking for a talented, professional, and personalized beauty experience.

I always leave the salon so happy, and my wedding day was no exception! Working with Krystal is always SO easy - she’s clear and responsive, so supportive, flexible, funny, all the things. She (and her assistant Jen who helped her) did an amazing job on hair and makeup for the full bridal party and mothers. Everyone was very happy and felt beautiful and appreciated how natural yet polished our makeup was. Krystal even accommodated my mother in law who on the day of decided she wanted to have her makeup done. Speaking from someone who’s never worn foundation, she loved it too!

Nicole is truly a master of her craft. I have very oily skin and previous make up trials with other make up artists resulted in the make up fading within two hours. Nicole did an amazing job and my make up lasted for 10 hours. I was glowing! She’s also really fun to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Hi I'm Marissa Mancini, makeup artist Offering Makeup Services to the New England Area. For any occasion or just for fun. I’ve worked in the film industry as a make-up artist, so I understand the importance of having skin look like skin. From a natural ‘no makeup’ makeup to a full glam, I got you covered!

I hired Marissa for my wedding day on 10/10/2024, and I am so thankful I did! Marissa is punctual, professional, so sweet, and incredibly talented at what she does. I am not someone who wears much makeup regularly, but I wanted to look like a bride on my wedding day. At my trial, Marissa asked me several questions about what products I normally wear and what I'm comfortable with. Even though I am essentially clueless about those things, Marissa took what little information I gave her and created a look that was everything I wanted. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law also felt beautiful on the day of thanks to her! I couldn't recommend Marissa enough.
