Allison is absolutely incredible! She completely killed it with my wedding hair and makeup ā I truly felt like royalty all weekend. Every look she created was flawless and photogra...
phed beautifully.
Even when there was a last-minute mix-up with my hair extensions, she stayed calm, creative, and made it work seamlessly. She truly brought my vision to life and went above and beyond in every way.
I received endless compliments, and I owe it all to her talent, professionalism, and positive energy. If youāre looking for someone who will make you look (and feel) your absolute best, Allison is the one! Iāll be recommending her to everyone I know ā and canāt wait for another opportunity to work with her again.Ā
5 stars for professionalism and the end results. She does a terrific job especially for Indian brides where the draping might be complex. She made my bulky outfit feel like a breez...
e. The overall look was exactly what I wanted - maybe even better.
No regrets picking her for my big day.
I cannot say enough good things about Allison! She came to the hotel we were getting ready at with two additional hair and makeup stylists. She did my hair and makeup, and the two ...
other stylists did my bridesmaids, my mom, and my step mom's hair. My mom, step mom, and MOH also had their makeup done. Everyone looked amazing! She came to do my hair and makeup trial at my house. We didn't get the hair perfect that day, and she reached out to ask if she could come back and do a second trial because she wanted to make sure it was going to be perfect for my wedding day! She is so easy to talk to and made my trials and wedding day relaxing and fun! I didn't even know that I could look as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I kept saying I looked angelic! My hair AND makeup held throughout the whole day-- even all the happy tears!
Allison Roth Studio was my on-site Hair and Makeup team for my wedding and I would highly recommend them! Allison was great to communicate with leading up to the event, we had a g...
reat trial, and she provided a top notch team of professionals to do wedding day hair and makeup for my bridal party and women in my family. The hair and makeup was long lasting and photographed very well! Allison is passionate about making you feel like the best version of yourself, comfortable, and confident. Her style is classic and timeless, it was such a joy to spend time with Allison and her team getting ready in the hotel suite!
Allison did my make-up for my wedding this year (she did my mother and mother-in-law's, as well). My cousin referred her to me (she did her wedding make-up over 5 years ago). She i...
s talented!!! We have never felt so beautiful! She works efficiently, asks questions around your personal make-up preferences and wants to ensure it is exactly what you want. When each of us looked in the mirror we all had the same "oh wow!!!" reactions and I could not stop looking at myself! I got so many compliments from my wedding guests, as well! I am hoping to hire her again in the future for a follow-up celebration since we had to cut-back our wedding due to COVID.
Allison was amazing to work with and made me and my maid of honor feel beautiful on my wedding day! Her price are reasonable and she is very responsive to any questions you may ha...
ve throughout the planning process. She really listened to my style preferences and offered suggestions when I wasn't sure what would work best for skin tone etc. Overall, she is such a joy to work with and we had so much fun at my trial and getting ready in the morning on the day of the wedding with her. She made things easy and stress free on very busy and stressful day!
I don't wear makeup on a daily basis but knew I wanted to for my wedding. Allison was the perfect choice for me. She respected my feelings about staying true to who I am and gave m...

We used Allison for our wedding makeup on 8/23/2019 and she is amazing!! She is so friendly and talented. I kept adding people/taking people off leading up to the day and she was a...

I was the maid of honor in a wedding in Pittsburgh and Allison Roth Studio did the most gorgeous hair & makeup for our whole bridal party. She really is an āartistā, looking exactl...
y like a painter while she was working and applying our makeup. Some of us needed color correction and had skin challenges and she dealt flawlessly with those challenges. Plus she couldnāt have been sweeter or more professional. She and her team made a hectic, stressful, and fun day really special. Even more importantly, she made us all feel and look beautiful!
Allison was amazing, I was so happy with my final look! Even with a last minute change to the original hairstyle I had trialed she was able to not only pull it off, but nail it rig...
ht on the head! She was so easy to work with, was always quick to respond to emails and my calls/texts, and truly wanted to make sure I was a happy bride from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Allison Roth!
I just love Allison! She is not only compassionate, kind, sweet and friendly, but she is A+ in terms of being a make-up artist. I have yellow/tan skin and usually like a neutral ...
look, so I wanted to look special for my wedding without looking like I was a different person. She made me look exactly as I had hoped! My make-up lasted all night long, looking fresh as ever, and I just loved it. I highly recommend her as your make-up go-to person!!
Allison and her team provided hair and makeup services for my wedding party and me this past September. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! All of ...
my bridesmaids were just as pleased! Allison is very professional, accommodating, and so easy to work with. She answered my numerous questions leading up to the big day and was always so quick to respond. She helped ease the stress and nerves! She even came to my house to do our trial prior to the wedding which I just loved! Allison is so very talented - you are in good hands with her! I 100% recommend!

l. She constantly worked to make sure that I had no worries for my hair & makeup for the big day! On the day of the wedding, her and her team (Mary Beth & Shannon) worked flawlessly on all of the HMU for my bridal party, mothers, flower girl & me. I received so many complements on my hair and makeup and I absolutely loved how the pictures turned out! Do not miss your opportunity to work with Allison! She will not let you down!
Allison did my makeup for my wedding day and also for my engagement photos before as a trail run. And let me just let you - scheduling those photos in the spring in Pittsburgh was...
a journey. Every day we tried to schedule our mini photo-shoot in Sewickley it rained AND hailed- a disaster! Allison is a hero. I had to reschedule 3 times due to the weather, but Allison was so amazing through it all. She was consistently kind, patient, funny, and super responsive - she really had my back and let me know that she was there for me and wanted both of my days to be just right.
My entire bridal party raved about Allison. My three sisters were already married and they liked their makeup more for my wedding than their own! I'm not someone who wears makeup every day, or even every week to be honest! My makeup looked perfect, natural, and I still looked like myself. Allison is wonderful to work with because of her great personality and she also has some serious skills! Thanks Allison!! :)
To sum up everything in this review, I can simply state that Allison was a dream come true...
She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable with everything before your b...
ig day. With every worry and fear that comes with wedding planning, being stressed about your makeup will not be one of them! She made me feel like a supermodel! She went above and beyond for me on my big day and I feel really bad for the brides who are missing out on Allison. Sheās so talented and so sweet and our personalities just clicked so well. Iāve already decided that my next big occasion will enlist Allisonās talents to beautify me again! Donāt miss out, sheās a total rockstar and will make you look like one too!
Oh my goodness Allison! The sweetest lady I've ever met. We bonded right away over our love for cats! She is so personable. We were so lucky that she traveled for us. We will alway...
s appreciate that. My wife has never worn make up before and felt so beautiful and confident that day. I felt like a princess! both of our looks turned out perfect. The price is right and the person is amazing. Thanks again Allison for everything!!
Allison Roth is an amazing makeup and hair stylist. She and her team did my airbrush makeup and hair for my wedding on Sept. 29, 2018. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and...
makeup. Allison made sure my hair was just right and my makeup was flawless. It took longer than expected, but we still remained on our tight schedule. Allison is more than just a stylist. She is a down to earth person. She will go out of her way to make sure the bride gets what she wants. For my hair trial, she came to my house and did my hair and makeup for 3 hours! It was a great time just talking with her. I hired Allison after my sister used her for her wedding. I highly recommend Allison and her team. You will not regret it!
Allison did my make-up for my wedding on August 4th, 2018. I absolutely loved my make up, and my bridal party did too! It stayed on all evening, and I have oily skin. She also rec...

Allison was great to work with throughout my wedding planning and day-of. Throughout the process, while getting my group scheduled, we had many adds/deletions and she was very fle...
xible and kept everything straight for us. For my trial, she did a fabulous job but thankfully through this part I decided I wanted me hair completely different and she gladly scheduled another trial with me. The morning of the wedding was super fun and stress-free with her and her partner and we all looked amazing! They did a FANTASTIC job at our hair and make up/lashes. I would recommend her!
Allison was wonderful!!! She made my family feel beautiful and she listened exactly to what I wanted my look to be for the wedding day. Iād recommend her over and over!
I was a bridesmaid when I first met Allison and her team and had such a great experience that I knew she'd be my go-to for my own wedding! Allison and the other ladies she works wi...
th are kind, timely & informative! As the bride, I had a wonderful consultation with Allison a couple months before my big day so there was no stress on my part when it was time for our wedding. She is also very understanding if a bridesmaid wants to change something about their make-up or hair and is happy to make sure everyone else is happy with their look.
Allison was phenomenal! You are making a big mistake if you donāt choose her for your bridal hair and makeup. My bridesmaids and I felt pampered and so confident with our looks! Al...
lison was quick to communicate and answered all of my emails promptly. She was also very flexible for scheduling my hair and makeup trial since I was traveling from Wisconsin to Pittsburgh. Look no further! Allison and her team are the best of the Burgh!
Allison and her team were the best! From the beginning, she communicated very promptly and professionally. I, as most brides was apprehensive about getting my hair and makeup done ...
for my pre-wedding event, wedding ceremony and wedding reception. I wanted to look done up but still like myself. Allison made that happen easily and flawlessly. She listened and made sure I was happy with her work. I loved my hair styles and was especially impressed with her ability to decorate a braid in the traditional South Indian style. I would recommend her to any bride/bridal party in or out of Pittsburgh! Thank you Allison :)
Allison made my daughter look perfect on her wedding day. She was very accommodating and was quick on responding emails and texts.
Thank you Allison for all your help
Our wedding photographer provided a list of suggested vendors for hair, makeup etc. The minute I looked at Allison's Bridal Gallery I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. Allison w...
as so warm and welcoming when my myself, mom, and two sisters went for my hair and makeup trial before the wedding. She took her time on me and was very patient. I changed my hairstyle a few times and she didn't care at all. I sent her many photos of ideas and she would send me makeup that she found that she thought would fit with the look I was going for. She really took the time to get to know me and what I wanted for my wedding.
Allison is so talented and I highly recommend her for all brides! She is amazing and made me feel the most beautiful that I have ever felt on my wedding day!
Allison is amazing! She made it so easy to plan and schedule everything ( I live in Maryland but got married in Pittsburgh so this was a big deal).
One of my bridesmaids is alle...
rgic to certain makeup and Allison not only knew exactly what mineral she was allergic to, but worked with her and was able to explain how the makeup she uses wouldn't affect her.
On the day of the wedding, Allison and her team did an amazing job on my makeup, my mom's, and my 4 bridesmaids. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and Allison made me look like myself, just a better version. I felt beautiful and my makeup lasted the whole day. I highly recommend Allison to every bride!
Allison did my bridal makeup & hair, as well as the makeup for my mother and MOH - she was truly phenomenal. I drove to her studio on the South side a few weeks before the wedding ...
for a trial, with inspiration pictures in hand. After the trial run, Allison could tell that I was unsure of how the hair style would come out for the day of the wedding, but she made recommendations to help me get there (I purchased a few hair extensions to help fill out the look). To ease my mind, Allison offered a second trial run on the house once I had my extensions to be sure that I would be happy with the hairstyle. I went with a 60's glam high bun - and Allison absolutely nailed it. Not only that, but she matched my eye shadow perfectly to my bouquet, and gave me a bold lip that pulled the look together. Allison is a true professional - she eased my concerns and kept me calm on the day of. You won't be disappointed if you book Allison for your wedding - it was truly a pleasure!

ding day. She really took the time to listen to what I had in mind and created something that I felt amazing in...perfect amount of drama without being over the top. My skin looked flawless (which is incredible since I had some wedding stress break outs!), and I looked so natural and fresh. She also did the make up for 2 of my bridesmaids and they were so pleased with their looks too. We looked amazing all day and night!! She made sure I was ready for my photographer, and even did a few shots with me after he arrived to show me getting ready. She's a real pro and a joy to work with!!
Allison did my bridesmaids' and my make up for my outdoor wedding in July. She is an excellent makeup artist! We had airbrush and false lashes done, and we all received complements...
throughout the night. Unfortunately, Allison was really hard to get a hold of in the weeks leading up to the wedding. While some of this was out of her control, the first two previews we scheduled I showed up for and she did not. She made it to the third scheduled preview, and graciously offered me a refund for the preview due to the stress associated with the first two appointments. Overall, I was happy with her services, I just wish the communication would have been smoother throughout the entire process.
Allison did my make-up for my brother's reception and I was very happy. The make-up lasted all day, through the heat, and all through the outdoor tent reception -as did the hair. S...

ative with me in advance, devising a schedule for day of, and making all of us look flawless for the entire day! I'm so happy that we chose to go with Allison and her team- they were extremely professional and dedicated, and know exactly what they are doing. So many times you see bridal makeup that is completely over-the-top and not flattering. That is not the case with Allison, everyone looked natural but gorgeous. Highly recommend!
Allison and her team are amazing. I spent a lot of time searching for a great make-up artist for my wedding and every time I was leaded to Allison Roth Studio. Working with Allison...
was just as good as I had hoped. Allison is a pleasure to work with. She is very clam, friendly and professional and makes you comfortable in every way. She carefully listened to all the details I wanted for my make up and did exactly what I liked. My make up was perfect for the entire day and I got so many compliments from friends and family. Thank you very much Allison.

dding and loved them so much that I am keeping them on indefinitely and will continue to have them touched up by Allison. Her hair/makeup team was great too! They came to our hotel where we were all getting ready and were very professional. They did such a great job on all of our hair and makeup. My photographer couldn't stop complimenting my hair! The airbrush makeup is fantastic and stayed on even after sleeping on it! They even gave us all touch up kits for ou hair and makeup to use throughout the night. Really great and would definitely recommend!!
I had the pleasure of working with Allison and Colton for my best friend's wedding a year ago. I was a bridesmaid, and they did my hair and makeup on the day of her wedding. I was ...
so pleased that I hired Allison and her team for my wedding. Allison will go above and beyond for her brides.
We would be emailing back and forth even late at night with ideas and pictures to create the right look for me. I asked her do hair and makeup for my boudoir shoot and for my wedding day too! I also had Xtreme lashes applied by Allison, and they were stunning. They looked natural yet dramatic and lasted for over 2 months! Allison and Colton both listened intently to what I was looking for and made it happen. It is also extremely convenient that the team can come to you on your wedding day. Makes the day less stressful, relaxing and fun. I absolutely love working with Allison and Colton and highly recommend hiring Allison and her team.
Allison and her hair stylist are absolutely amazing. she was so helpful and accommodating. My mother was running late on our wedding day and Allison was nice enough to wait around ...
until she finally made it there! everyone told me how beautiful m make up was and they never realized how much my make up highlighted my eyes! Very convenient that they came the whole way to Latrobe to do my make up in my hotel room. They did my make up my matron of honor and my mothers. All of our hair was done as well as the flower girls.
I am so happy that I chose Allison Roth and her team for my wedding. My husband and I planned 2 weddings (Christian and Indian) in 4 months from a different state, and it was such ...
a blessing to have found Allison. She was so sweet and easy to work with. She even agreed to do my make up for the Indian wedding with just a month's notice! She was so professional and knowledgable. For the Indian wedding I went to her studio, which is adorable! For the Christian wedding, her team arrived at the venue early with all of their supplies beautifully organized. She made me and my bridal party look absolutely gorgeous for both of the weddings. I definitely recommend Allison and plan to use her for any future events.
We used Allison Roth for our wedding day hair/make-up. The team was awesome and did a beautiful job.
From start to finish I had the most amazing expierence with Allison Roth Studio. She pays such an amazing attention to detail. During your trial she tries to get a feel for the loo...
k you are going for and nails it. I love that she uses airbrush makeup. It goes on so evenly and last all day and night. Many of my bridemaids and myself do not wear alot of makeup and the way the makeup is applied makes you feel like you are not even wearing it. A huge benefit is that Allsion can be on location. She completed a detailed timeline so everyone knew what time they would getting their makeup done. She was very flexible on the day of the wedding and everything worked out perfect. Not only is Allison an amazing makeup artist but she is a true professional. She was on time ready to go with an assistant. She had everyone done on time and we all looked AMAZING!!! She is the sweetest person and amazing to work with. Not only do I highly recommend her I plan on being a client of hers for many years to come!
Allison is such an amazing person to work with! Allison applied eye lash extensions for me 3 times between my wedding and honeymoon. It takes an hour or more depending upon which l...
ashes you get vs a fill but each appointment I had with her flew by. We talked and laughed the whole time. After the appointment ended I felt like a knew woman.. it was my first time getting eye lash extensions and they looked AMAZING. They made my eyes pop and eliminated the need for any eye makeup up until the wedding. They looked natural, bold, full and perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing Allison for your lash extensions. She takes the time after to discuss in detail how to take care of your lashes to ensure there longevity. I found this very helpful in keeping mine looking just as good as the day they were applied. Warning: you will always always want eye lash extensions after you've had them once. They are life changing! Follow her on Instagram also her makeup looks unbelievable and I plan on taking a 1 on 1 makeup class with her in the near future. Seriously go see Allison -- she is THE best!!!
Allison is the best! She was very professional and the makeup for myself and my wedding party was beautiful. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel so beautiful on ...

completed my vintage themed wedding with a perfect hair style and natural makeup. I don't wear much makeup and had never tried the airbrush makeup but it was fabulous! It lasted all day and didn't need any touch ups! I highly recommend Allison and Colton and their team! Thanks again!
I had my hair and airbrush makeup done by Allison last week for my engagement photos and she is simply incredible. She is extremely kind and easygoing, she listened to me, made pro...
fessional suggestions, and made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend. She asked for pictures of my outfit, we discussed the vision that I had, and then she transformed me into the exact "glam" look that I was going, but everything turned out even better than anything I would have imagined. She made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and I feel so lucky to have her as my makeup artist for my wedding in July. I highly recommend Allison for any bride that wants the absolute best in the business!
I used Allison Roth Studios for my November 29 wedding and there truly aren't enough good things that I can say about Allison and her team! They helped to make me and my bridesmai...
ds look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day, and did it all with total efficiency and light-hearted professionalism. What could have been an extremely stressful day was anything but as Allison and her team came to us at the hotel we were staying and were able to get the hair and makeup done for 5 people with total ease. We were all so pleased, in fact, that my bridesmaid will be using them for her wedding in August! Also, if you're on the fence brides-to-be, do the trial run! Allison and Colton did a phenomenal job and when I asked for a few tweaks to cheek or lip color, or to use a softer hair spray for the day of my wedding, Allison took notes and came completely prepared with everything that I requested. Love love love these guys!!
