Alyssa A McKenzie, LLC

Alyssa was fantastic. I had a trial with her prior to the wedding that was very helpful and she was responsive to the few changes I requested. She did myself, the bridal party, and the moms on site. We had such a fun morning getting ready and Alyssa's professionalism and friendliness helped make the morning relaxing. We all looked gorgeous and the makeup held throughout the entire day. I was very happy with Alyssa's services and would highly recommend her to anyone in the area.

Alyssa was SO communicative which in this world means everything. We had a great trial, she took exactly what I wanted and turned it into a reality. She was so professional and on the day of was the MOST calming presence. She knew exactly what to expect and exactly how to manage everyone's different needs and personalities. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone and everyone. I was complimented non stop on how beautiful and natural all of my bridal party looked. My mom now wants to have her do her makeup for every little dinner party!!

I highly recommend Alyssa, I felt picture perfect on my wedding day thanks to her. She was able to perfectly create the look that I wanted and was patient while working with me to achieve that image. She was prompt, on time and brought everything with her. The entire morning pre wedding went smoothly thanks to her skill and professionalism. Plus she is a delight to spend time with. Additionally, all my phone calls and emails were returned promptly and she even met me earlier in the year to do a trial run AND was amenable to my changing schedule. If you are looking for true professionalism, skill and propriety - you've found your make up match.

Booked Alyssa for my wedding makeup for myself, my MOH, and Mom & MIL. I’ve been going to Alyssa’s salon for years and they always do a great job no matter what service you get. Makeup was great- she was right on schedule and got all of us set up easily- everyone looked great! Would highly recommend!

Originally I'd thought about doing my wedding hair and makeup myself. I was internally grumbling at the thought of spending budget on something I thought I could do myself. I am sooooo glad that I left it to the pros! It ended up being 100% worth it. I received so many positive comments about my makeup and hair. My eyelashes were secure the entire night. I was really impressed that the coverage also lasted throughout the night, and that I had minimal shine despite getting super sweaty from dancing at the reception :) I did decide to do a hair/makeup trial. I initially thought about skipping to save time and money, but I'm really glad I did it. During the trial, Alyssa and I were able to discuss my look preferences and experiment with different colors and styles. The day of the wedding, there was no time for any experimentation. At some point, I decided to add on hair and makeup for my bridal party/MOB/MOG and am also really glad I did. It ended up being an indulgent treat for them. They also LOVED the full size lip color they received as a gift! (I'd thought no one would care about this, I was wrong). Alyssa is serious, professional, and an artist at her craft. Katie was my hair magician, and was able to give me the perfect hairstyle to complement my dress! During the trial, we experimented with a few styles and she gave me a great tip to consider adding in a hairpiece. The hairpiece I founded was a game-changer in terms of creating pop and additional dimension to the overall look. To Alyssa, Katie and Melissa, thank you! I am so thankful we worked with such a talented and professional crew!

We worked with Alyssa for makeup and Katie for hair this December for our wedding at Church Landing. They were amazing! They arrived on time, quickly set up, and got started. Myself, the bridesmaids, and my mom were so happy with how everything turned out. They listened to what we were looking for and made us feel beautiful for the big day. Doesn't hurt that they were fun to chat with too :) Highly recommend!

Alyssa is nothing short of amazing! She did my wedding makeup as well as my entire bridal party, MIL, and mother's makeup; it was all flawless! I wanted my makeup to be natural but obviously make me look like the best version of me. Alyssa nailed it! In addition to her incredible skill, she was able to manage all 8 of us with composure and be ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend Alyssa for your wedding day; she will not disappoint!

Alyssa was one of the best parts of my wedding. Not only was my makeup absolutely stunning, seriously, I looked amazing thanks to Alyssa's talent, but all 5 of my bridesmaids and both my mom and MIL looked incredible as well. Alyssa was professional and fun throughout the entire process, she was super accommodating with trial schedule changes as well as wedding day schedule changes, and not to mention, she and Katie (who also did an amazing job with everyone's hair!!) not only stayed on schedule but most of the time were ahead of schedule the whole day. ALSO! Not only did Alyssa kill it with everyone's makeup, but one of my bridesmaids didn't get to finish doing her nails prior to the wedding day so Alyssa also finished my bridesmaid's nails since she was so ahead of schedule!!! How accommodating and awesome is that?!?!?! Alyssa made me feel super comfortable the whole time and everything about my experience with her was great. With her and Katie in my suite with me and the rest of my party the morning of my wedding, it truly felt like I was hanging with friends. She is just that fun and comfortable!! And did I mention super talented?! Thank you SO MUCH Alyssa for everything!!!

Alyssa of Radura Salon did an amazing job for my makeup, as well as that of my mother and bridesmaids, for my August 5, 2016 wedding. I am not someone who wears makeup, and Alyssa made me very comfortable during the trial and on the wedding day. I had no idea of what to describe I wanted for my look, but after I showed her a photo of my wedding dress, and described what our reception would be like, she knew exactly the sort of ethereal, vintage look I wanted. It was just beautiful, and looked so natural! Alyssa traveled to the inn where the bridesmaids and I were getting ready, and even played lovely background music as she did our makeup. The final looks were just perfect, and I highly recommend the work of Alyssa: she is an artist!

I worked with Alyssa and Katie on the makeup and hair for me, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mom. There are 3 reasons I would highly recommend them: 1. They made us all look amazing. I wanted a dramatic Halloween ball look and they nailed it. 2. They stayed on or ahead of schedule all day. 3. They are friendly, laid back, and professional. The wedding day can be very stressful, but they made getting ready easy, relaxed, and fun.

Alyssa did my makeup for myself and my mom for my wedding. Despite the fact that I hired her with not much notice (less than a month), she was very accommodating on times to have trial runs. After I rethought my makeup, she was able to find time for a second trial. My makeup stayed put, despite being one of the most humid days of the year, and yet didn't look like it was 'too much' or 'caked on'. I loved my natural looking makeup for my outdoor barn wedding and not only would I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for professional makeup services, I would hire her again.

This is not my first time using Alyssa for make up and I knew that for my special day, she was the only person I would allow to do my make up. Alyssa is fun, relaxed and detail orientated. She has helped me figure out what colors and looks go best with my skin tone and my wedding theme. She had great hints and tricks for what to do to my skin the night before, so that I glowed on my special day. While she was doing my make up on my big day, she was also a calming force. There was something meditative about being underneath her gentle brush strokes that relaxed me. I received amazing compliments on my make up and my wedding photos are flawless. Even the photographer was impressed on how natural the make up is in the photos and that no retouching was needed. My make up stayed on during the entire reception with no issues! Even through all the dancing, hugging, kissing and tears. I was sad at bed time when I had to clean it off. I would highly recommend Alyssa for not only Bridal make up, but as well as your engagement shots or even just a girls night out! You will not be disappointed in her work.

I just wanted to post to recommend the make-up artist I used for my recent wedding, Alyssa McKenzie of Radura Salon & Spa in Manchester, NH, she was AMAZING!!! She was very professional from my initial consultation to my trial and then my BIG DAY! She always answered me very quickly via phone and email, and my make-up looked BEAUTIFUL!!! She also did my entire bridal party and my mother's make-up as well! I hired her to be on-location to do the bridal make-up on my wedding day, but I also went to her salon a few days prior and she did my nails and pedicure for my wedding! :) I HIGHLY recommend her if anyone is looking for a make-up artist!
