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!

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!!

Hi! My passion for hair has been since i was a young girl. I love the artistic way of styling hair for that " Wow she's Stunning" look. Bringing your ideas to life and a smile from ear to ear is so rewarding. I have been in the industry for many years and love all styles from classics to trendy, long to short, every bride has a "look" they would like to achieve and that's what makes my job so exciting!

My experience with Sharon and Nicole was wonderful. They styled everyone's hair beautifully for our wedding and we didn't feel rushed or stressed one bit. They were relaxed and efficient and made it so much fun for the entire group! We had a lot of laughs throughout the day and everyone was super happy with how their hair and makeup came out. Beautiful and flawless, and not "overdone". I highly recommend Hair We Go Weddings! Seriously, cross this item off your list and hire Sharon and her team now!

Yin was extremely accommodating and very personable. From the bridal trial to the actual day, I felt so beautiful. She was able to capture the look that I was going for with both a tea ceremony and wedding reception being able to have a makeup look match the essence and being able to take my hair down from an updo and have it down for the ceremony. She is very professional and her quality of work shows. Everyone at our wedding was complimenting our hair and makeup. She was able to complete my Maid of Honor, Mother’s, and me the brides hair and makeup in a timely manner the day of and travel to us with no problem. We all had different hair and makeup requests and she knocked them out of the park. Not to mention, her approach is very warm and we all felt so comfortable.

We were thrilled with Stockwell Artistry for our wedding day hair and makeup! They were extremely responsive throughout the planning process and very flexible when we had last minute changes. On the big day, they listened carefully to what each person wanted and delivered beautiful work that made us all feel comfortable and confident. Elizabeth was so kind and accommodating, making the getting ready process relaxing and fun. We especially appreciated how they made sure to understand our vision and bring it to life. My partner (now wife!) and I both have sensitive skin and don’t usually wear makeup, so we especially appreciated her understanding, and were totally wowed by how comfortable we felt getting made up and throughout the day.

Nikki Roth Bridal Makeup

  • Team of 2
  • Starts at $950
  • Serves Reading, MA

I am jumping into my 10th bridal season as a makeup artist and am more passionate about it than ever before! Specializing in glowy, soft glam makeup looks! Also offering pre wedding skin prep, brows & lash services at my studio in Wayland, MA!

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

She’s super professional, fun to work with, and made me feel so at ease on my wedding day! She uses high quality products and is mindful of every last detail. She’s very knowledgeable about how all aspects of your glam will reflect in your forever photos. She provided a thorough makeup trial prior to the day, which left nothing to question the morning of my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful than I have after working with Johanna! I still receive compliments on my makeup in my wedding photos to this day. The best of the best!

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist

  • Serves Reading, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica was an absolute dream to have as our makeup artist for our wedding! All my girls absolutely LOVED her, my bridal makeup was absolutely perfect, I felt so beautiful. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, her communication was phenomenal and her super sweet friendly demeanor put everyone at ease on such a busy morning. I cannot recommend her high enough- book Veronica to make your wedding makeup everything you dreamed- just like she did for me!

There is nothing I love more than making someone feel like the most beautiful version of themselves. It is always such a privilege to be included in someone’s wedding day, and that is something I will ever take for granted. I have a background in fashion and retail, and was certified in the art of makeup at Elizabeth Grady in 2006. I have spent the last 8 years freelancing, and specializing in bridal and special event makeup. While I love a wide variety of makeup looks, my ultimate favorite look to do is a soft glam.

Aly has been a pleasure to work with! She is so sweet, professional, and talented! When working together we had an unexpected schedule change and Aly helped everything run so smooth! I look forward to working together in the future.

I do not have enough good things to say about Ashlee and Tammy. They did my hair 8 bridesmaids two moms and everyone looked amazing. I am not sure I have ever been to/been part of a wedding where every single person loved their hair until my wedding. We had every range of hair types and they worked with each person to create a beautiful hairstyle that they were comfortable with. Everyone looked absolutely perfect. Also, they are also both just really FUN. They made the whole day great, cannot recommend them enough!!

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.
