Incredible!!
Melissa Formica Makeup & Hair was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day - I worked with Toni specifically but know her entire team is fantastic! From our initial consultation to the day-of, their communication was always easy, on-time and professional. The quality of their work was truly incredible - my hair and makeup was the highest quality and worth every penny, even with the travel cost. Toni made the entire experience from the trial to the wedding weekend feel so special. I got so many compliments from my bridesmaids, who are still raving about how fantastic she is. I can't wait to use Toni again for any future beauty needs in the city. They were the best in the business and I'm so grateful they were a part of our special day.
Jackie is the best!
Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!
Thank you Melissa!
Melissa was so wonderful during my entire wedding process! Not only did my hair and makeup look absolutely perfect, I also really enjoyed getting to know her and she kept the mood of the day very calm. She was also extremely flexible and added on a services and and extra time for touch ups to my package last minute. She really listens to what look you are going for, and made me feel so confident in how I looked for my wedding day!
The best!
Melissa was so great to work with throughout the whole process in selecting my hair and makeup look. She answered all of my questions ahead of time and during the trial was incredibly attentive to what I wanted from my hair and makeup. She also got to know me, so it never felt like a transactional relationship but instead felt like I was hanging out with a friend. On the day, Melissa did my hair and makeup as well as my mother’s and mother-in-law’s. She made everyone feel at ease throughout the day with her calm demeanor which was so appreciated. Melissa listened to everyone’s desires for their looks and she executed flawlessly! Melissa has such a knack for enhancing everyone’s features in such a natural, beautiful way. It was really important to me that I didn’t feel overdone and instead felt natural and glowy for my wedding. I trusted Melissa every step of the way and she didn’t disappoint. I felt so beautiful, and like myself, which only made the day more special. She was so fun to work with and my hair and makeup lasted after hours of dancing! I highly recommend booking Melissa, you will be in very good hands!
