Ashley and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! She was able to squeeze me in last minute for a trial, after we had some back and forth on whether or not I wanted one. I am so glad that I did the trial with her. She walked me through the process, made recommendations for my skincare routine, and just made me feel so much more reassured in the style I wanted for my wedding. On the day of my wedding she showed up early (super punctual, I love it!) and was ready to go ahead of schedule. Her hair stylist Meghan was fantastic and made all of our dreams come true. She styled my hair perfectly (which was different from the style I chose for my trial) and it held up all night. The make up held up through the laughter, the sweat, the tears, and all the dancing that comes with a wedding. She provided a kit to reapply and do touch-ups with, but I didn't end up needing it. Her pricing is quite reasonable and competitive for the South Shore, and she also accommodates other areas of New England. She was so communicative and responsive to all of my requests. I would hire her and her team again in a heartbeat!
I was so nervous about choosing a hairstylist for my wedding, since I’ve been struggling with hair loss and was TERRIFIED of being a balding bride. But, my fears were unfounded because Ashley and her team, Nikki and Meghan, were incredible! Ashley worked with me on logistics and options and sent two fabulous stylists for me and my wedding party. Everyone was so happy with the way they looked. It may seem like a silly thing, but the reassurance I got from this team in the weeks before our wedding made such a difference in my stress levels. I’d highly recommend working with them!
I cannot express how thrilled I am with the exceptional work of Ashley and Nikki, the dynamic duo that made my wedding day truly magical. They were not only punctual but also managed to finish our entire bridal party's hair and makeup earlier than expected, which allowed us to savor every precious moment of the big day. When it came to our bridal party's beauty transformations, Ashley and Nikki's expertise truly shone through. Everyone felt beautiful. Their attention to detail was unparalleled. My own bridal look was beyond my wildest dreams, thanks to Ashley's incredible makeup skills and Nikki's hairstyling wizardry. If you want a makeup artist and hairstylist who not only exceed your expectations but also keep you calm and collected on your big day, Ashley and Nikki are the dream team you've been searching for. Their dedication, talent, and warm personalities are a rare find, and I can't recommend them enough. Our wedding day was a fairytale, and it wouldn't have been possible without them. Thank you, Ashley and Nikki, for making us all feel and look amazing!
Ashley and Megan did an AMAZING job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! My bridal party looked so beautiful and everyone loved their looks. They were so helpful throughout the day and finished with time to spare making the process very stress free. My makeup was flawless at the end of the night even after all the happy tears. I cannot thank them enough for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!
Ashley and her team are absolutely fabulous! All of us looked amazing and everything held up for the festivities and then some lol. I would definitely recommend them!
Ashley and Lauren were fabulous! If I could give 10 stars I would. Ashley was so helpful, professional, understanding and communicative during our initial conversations to make sure we were a good match. My trail was amazing and Ashley welcomed and really listened to my feedback. On the day of my wedding, Ashley and Lauren were on time, stayed on or ahead of schedule, were easy to chat with, reminded us to eat and steam our dresses, and were happy to support me with talking to other vendors to make sure I got what I needed. Everyone felt happy and comfortable with their final looks and we all received many compliments. I will definitely use Ashley and her team again in the future! Thanks Ashley!! <3
Ashley and Nikki were amazing!
My entire bridal party loved the work both of them created. Nikki is always fantastic when it comes to hair and Ashley did an amazing job with everyone's makeup. They also made sure we stayed on schedule and would check in to see if our dresses were steamed, we were eating, and everything in between so I didn't have to worry about a thing.
We all cannot thank you both enough!
Loved Ashley and her assistant Nicki! From the start she was quick to respond, honest and helpful. Went to my bridal trial and she was lovely in person, easy to talk to, lively. After my trial she was more than helpful with recommendations for my sensitive skin to get the best look for my big day. The day of my wedding they both go right into work, all 3 of my bridesmaids loved them! My hair was just what I wanted, and my super straight hair in 90 degree weather held up the best it could!By the end we all looked so gorgeous and ready to get married!
Would highly recommend Ashley for your bridal beauty needs! Ashley was a quick communicator and gave me a call shortly after I connected with her to establish rapport. Within minutes, she was giving me advice about which makeup products to use for my wedding even if I didn’t end up choosing her. She was very patient with me and answered all of my questions as I took time to choose my vendor. Ashley was ready to coordinate the complicated logistics of having 8 bridesmaids and myself ready for my 10AM wedding without making me wake up at 4AM. She thinks of everything, is extremely professional, and is so trustworthy! Ultimately, I chose another stylist due to personal logistics, but she made such a good impression, I wanted to leave a review!
Ashley, Nikki, and Meghan all traveled across MA to do hair and make up for our wedding last weekend. They were amazing! We reached out to Ashley following a recommendation from a friend, and we are so glad we did.
Our moms and bridal party looked great, and my wife and I loved our hair and make up. This was the first time I’ve had an up do that I actually loved, and that truly matched my vision. People were commenting all day on how amazing my hair looked.
Not only did everything turn out great, but Ashley was so understanding and accommodating as we navigated COVID and changed our wedding plans.
Thanks so much Ashley, Nikki, and Meghan!
Ashley did such an amazing job on myself and my three bridesmaids! I sent her photos of my vision and without hesitation made my vision a reality! She was also so great to work with; so personable. She really helped bring the wedding day nerves down! If you’re looking for a stylist for your wedding, definitely call Ashley!
Ashley and Nikki are amazing! They were more than accommodating throughout, and walked me through everything. They were very professional, and we also had many laughs along the way. My hair and makeup (and my bridesmaids) were on point, held the whole night, and I truly felt I was my best self. These ladies brought my vision to life, and I cannot imagine having chosen anyone else. Ashley and Nikki are both beautiful souls, who are extremely talented at what they do.
I am a bride that HATED the vendor search for hair and makeup! Ashley stood out when I was collecting quotes because she has a friendly attitude and willingness to answer my questions thoroughly. Immediately I could tell that she was kind and would be easy to work with ... and I was proven right during my trial. She's got a great sense of humor and is very open minded and friendly! During my trial I figured out a few things that I did like and didn't like. I outlined the changes I wanted to make in an email and her and Nikki took all those into consideration and worked WONDERS making me look perfect on my big day! Ashley and Nikki traveled to my hotel room in Canton and did 7 women's make-up and 6 women's hair (including me) and they were so fun and got along great with everyone. We had hours of laughs together! They made my day a lot more fun than I could have imagined that part was. Nikki - I still don't know her last name - is INCREDIBLE with hair! All my girls looked stunning too. These two women, Ashley and Nikki - worth every penny!! Book them now.
My wedding was 5/4/2018 and had a good experience with Ashley and her assistant, Nikki. Ashley was VERY accommodating to my budget and indecisive-ness of my wedding hair. She was very helpful, kind and patient start to finish although I was not overly thrilled with my trial and day-of outcome. When I had my trial the outcome was good but I feel like could've looked a little better and my low bun up-do didn't last the whole night as it started to come apart a bit. I communicated this to her and came up with ideas of how she will improve the day to make sure it didn't happen again. I followed her instructions, yet the day of felt like she was not confident in herself. She had to restart my low bun up-do after she was almost halfway done with it. She used a donut bun to construct my low bun which she did not use during my trial and felt like the overall quality was not the best. Before my ceremony and throughout my reception there were times you could see the donut bun because my hair was not fully covering it and ultimately decided to completely take out the donut bun and pins during the middle of my reception because the donut was showing too much and was just not comfortable and did not look nice. My bridesmaids and mothers hair and make up turned out nicely and they were all pleased. I feel like her assistant, Nikki is maybe more experienced and did a slightly better job so I wish I had her do my hair as maybe I would've had a better outcome
