Jessica was our make up artist and Ashley was our hair stylist. They were both phenomenal!!! My bridal party was so happy with how they looked, and both women were so pleasant to work with. After my trial, I knew I wanted to make a couple of changes to both my hair and makeup. Both Jessica and Ashley were so open to discussing the changes and making sure I was happy with how I looked.
Boston Beauty Network was really communicative and their online portal was really easy to use to send messages and pay invoices. I can't recommend them enough. Everyone I worked with was so friendly.

BOOK THEM!!!
I hired Boston Beauty Network for my wedding in November 2024 and could not have been happier with my experience. I worked with the owners, Katie and Mia, and they were absolutely fabulous. From our first phone call, to the trial, to the day of the wedding - everything was perfect. They were so professional, accommodating, organized, and friendly. Everyone in my bridal party was so happy with how their looks turned out and Katie and Mia were so fun to have part of my day of morning. Could not recommend them enough!!

I highly recommend Katie and Mia and BBN for your wedding day. Communication was timely, trial was great and a few changes I wanted for my wedding day were put into place. I loved the way everything turned out! My bridesmaids, family and flower girls also looked perfect.

I was very skeptical about paying for any beauty for myself at all, I am not a makeup girly and I had a really hard time finding someone who appealed to me. Jessica with Boston Beauty Network was a godsend! She made my sister, mom, and I all look like the best versions of ourself! My #1 compliment I have received afterwards was how I didn't look too glammed up and just like myself but better.
I also struggle with flush (warm, anxious, alcohol and all three happen at a wedding) and I had no pink come through which is a big deal to me!

Katie and Mia are the beauty team that dreams are made of! They were prompt with communication, clear with beauty prep guidance, and it was clear from the jump that they cared about making my personal vision come to life. I had a consultation all before booking that helped me understand their services and get to know them, and a trial a few months before my wedding day. I have naturally curly hair and finding someone who could work with that was important to me, in addition to getting a make-up look that leaned more natural than glam and enhanced my eyes. When I woke up on wedding day with a better hair day than I was expecting, Mia was able to improvise from my trial look to create the perfect half-up look! We also worked with Jessica on wedding day, who did an incredible job with hair and makeup. The energy was unmatched too - you spend half your wedding day with your hair and make-up team, and Katie, Mia, and Jessica brought the perfect upbeat, fun energy to keep us all calm but excited. HIGHLY recommend hiring them or any of their team members for your wedding day or beauty needs. I am so grateful to have had them!

I had the pleasure of having Katie and Rachel as my makeup artist and hair stylist on my wedding day! Not only were they professional, but they were on time and did quality work on each of us in not too long of time. Katie and Rachel executed the image of what I wanted for my wedding day - a classy, timeless look, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend them! :)

I booked hair and makeup for myself, my 5 bridesmaids and my mom and MIL and we had the best experience! From the moment we booked all the way to finishing my hair and makeup before I walked down the aisle, I was so happy with everything. Everyone at BBN is very communicative and I their online portal to complete the questionnaires, book your trial, pay your invoice and view all documents is so easy to use. My trial was so fun and easy. Kristina did my makeup and Effie did my hair and both were so thorough with their consultations. The end result was exactly like my inspiration pictures. My hair and makeup lasted all day after that. On the day of the wedding, they were perfectly on time for set up and kept the whole day on schedule. Effie worked so hard to get my hair perfect, even when my hair wasn’t cooperating and she had to re-do it a few times. There were some changes I wanted to make from my makeup trial and Kristina was so open to changes and even made some suggestions that made the end result even better than the trial we did. I so appreciated her honesty and professional opinion when making some changes and I was so so happy with the end result. My skin looked flawless and I felt like the best version of myself! All of my bridesmaids looked amazing and were so happy with their final looks as well. Both Kristina and Effie helped make the day fun and relaxed. It was such a pleasure working with them, I would highly recommend Boston beauty network for hair and makeup services!

I had an amazing experience with Katie and Mia from Boston Beauty Network!
They were extremely professional, had great communication, and did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my special day! The whole group looked incredible, and still looked like ourselves and were all comfortable with our hair and makeup. They did such an amazing job making us look and feel our best, and creating a relaxed vibe for the wedding morning.
I would hands down book Katie and Mia for your wedding!

I had a wonderful experience with Boston Beauty Network (Katie and Mia) for my wedding. From the first inspiration call, to the hair and makeup trial, to the big day, Boston Beauty made me feel comfortable, heard, and excited. Kristina and Ashley did a beautiful job on myself, the bridesmaids, moms, and had arrived/finished up exactly at the time they said they would. We started at 9am for a 415pm first look (and we had a group of 8!) and they were finishing touch ups right as the shuttle was pulling up, so no awkward wait time or feeling rushed what so ever. I am not great with doing my own hair/makeup, and often don’t know what I want/like, and I felt beautiful. So many guests complimented my hair, and my husband was in awe during our first look :) I also had several bridesmaids who do not wear a lot of make-up, and expressed they get worried with getting it done because it’s been so heavy in the past, but absolutely loved theirs for my wedding day. A few have already asked me to share their contacts/follow on socials :) I would recommend Boston Beauty Network to any future brides, you will feel and look beautiful!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Katie and Mia from Boston Beauty Network. They did my hair and makeup (along with my sisters and mother) for my wedding and they far exceeded my expectations! As someone who does not wear makeup frequently, and when I do, it’s minimal, I was super nervous to choose this vendor for my wedding. The same goes with hair - I am very simple. I wanted to find the perfect hair and makeup vendor that would make me look like myself, but elevated and special. My nightmare was not looking like myself on my wedding day. All that to say, they were the PERFECT match for me. I felt beautiful, elegant, and most importantly, ME!
The process was seamless from the beginning. I reached out via email and then spoke to Katie on the phone shortly after. Katie and Mia’s communication is great. Some vendors are challenging to correspond with - they are not. During our phone call, I shared my hair/makeup vision. Katie listened to every detail and I could tell how genuinely excited she was to create the most perfect look, along with Mia, for my wedding day. I felt so comfortable and confident after our call and the following week signed a contract.
Then, I had my trial. I’m a teacher and had trouble finding a day to go and they even opened up a spot for me to sign up on a day I had off. How amazing?! They have you fill out a questionnaire to gather as many details as they can beforehand to prepare the perfect look. We went over the questionnaire at the trial and they spoke to me even more before creating my wedding look. Throughout the trial, they paused to gather feedback. This was so helpful and again, as a no makeup and simple hair girl, I was put at ease. They took their time and didn’t make me feel rushed, even when I tried multiple eye lashes. They were present and patient throughout the trial. I was SO happy with my trial results. They took notes on products and technique throughout the trial so I’d have the perfect look on my wedding day. I left the trial feeling gorgeous and excited for the big day!
Fast forward - wedding day! Katie and Mia were extremely communicative with a schedule and arrived on time to my venue. They set up and got started right on time. Not only are they so talented in hair and makeup, they are so fun to chat with and down to earth! This is important when choosing your vendors since you spend so much time with them! I was so sad when they left ;( Haha!! But they truly outdid themselves. Like the trial, my hair and makeup was natural, beautiful, and looked like me! Katie worked wonders with my makeup, perfectly matching my skin tone to my spray tan. The makeup lasted all day and night. I had them stay for touchups which was amazing since I got married in July - I was worried about humidity/heat with pictures so wanted to be proactive about having them stay. Mia's hair skills are unparalleled. She listened to my preferences and I had the most beautiful hair that lasted throughout ALL my excessive dancing. That’s not easy to do!!
Katie and Mia truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and beautiful on my special day. I highly recommend Boston Beauty Network for any bride-to-be, or anyone who needs makeup services. Thank you, Katie and Mia, for making my wedding day unforgettable! I am so grateful for you both :)

Could not have asked for a better experience for my wedding day! Everyone looked and felt beautiful plus hair and makeup stayed all night.
During my trial, the girls were very knowledgeable about what style would look best on my hair and complexion and they made me feel so pampered.
On my wedding day, there were 12 people getting hair and makeup done so it was total chaos but the girls remained calm, kept us on schedule, and gave everyone special attention.
I cannot recommend Boston Beauty Network enough!!

Katie, Ashley and Kristina were amazing. Everyone’s hair and makeup was perfect. The makeup was natural looking. Everyone looked glammed up but still like themselves. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted so Katie and Ashley talked me through options during my trial and I was very happy with the result. Katie was great determining how much time we need and laying out the schedule. Extremely happy with the whole experience. Highly recommend!

I worked with Katie and Mia for my wedding day hair and makeup and for my bridesmaids and family. They are truly professionals - they are sweet and easy to get along with, which made the process so much fun. Also, they are very open with communication, which made me comfortable asking for tweaks from my original trial to my wedding day. After we worked through those tweaks, it was so much fun to see the final look come to life, and how clear it was to all of us that this was THE look. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and so did my bridesmaids!

My wedding day would not have been complete without Katie and Mia as hair and makeup. After having met them both at one of their previous weddings as a bridesmaid, I knew I wanted them to be a part of my wedding day. Its an added bonus to be able to book hair and makeup together as well. Katie and Mia were so easy and personable to work with. From our initial phone call, hair and makeup trial, various emails, up to the wedding day, they were attentive and quick to respond. Even after loving my hair and makeup at the trial, it was everything I wanted and more on my actual wedding day. They stayed through the process of getting dressed/ first look with Dad and bridesmaids to make sure that my veil was secured perfectly and last touches on makeup were ready for my first look with the groom. I could not recommend them more for your wedding day!!!

Katie and Mia are AMAZING! They are so calm and professional but create a fun and easy environment for the wedding day. They went above and beyond, tweaking my hair and make up so they were perfect and just the way I wanted. One of my bridesmaids was going through chemotherapy and Mia got on the phone with her before the wedding to discuss whether to try and make it work with her thinning hair or to go with a wig. They went with her hair and it looked amazing and she felt so great! Truly EXCELLENT at what they do and lovely people to spend your day with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I booked hair and makeup with Katie and Mia for my wedding day, and they were fantastic! Everyone loved how they looked - natural and like the absolute best versions of themselves. They accommodated some last minute timeline changes, and even suggested bringing a third member of their team so we could get everyone done on time for photos - a great idea that really helped! I can't recommend them more!

Katie and Mia were incredible - I used Boston beauty network for my hair and makeup for my wedding day and just love the work they did. They made me feel like me but elevated and extra glam and bridal. They worked with me to hone my hair and makeup vision after my trial to make sure it was perfect for my wedding day and it was perfect. They did my whole family (different ages and looks) party and everyone looked incredible.

I booked hair and makeup with Mia and Katie for my wedding and could not be happier with them!! I knew they were a little pricier than other beauty services out there (but you can also go way more expensive), but after our initial call I knew they had the industry experience and professionalism that was worth every penny. You absolutely get what you pay for in the wedding industry. You can also book with their team of beauty professionals and it’s a little less expensive and I’m certain it would also be a great experience. Everything from planning to logistics was extremely smooth. As always the trial is extremely helpful and both Katie and Mia took feedback from the trial to heart for the final wedding day look. Even with the trial, on the wedding day I was blown away by how everything came out. I had no notes or complaints. Mia and Katie are also so kind, personable and understanding knowing that the day of the wedding and bridal suite can be chaotic at times! They brought everything we needed with them and packed up so quickly and efficiently. They are experts at navigating the timeline and truly made the day of stress free. A nice bonus is they have lip touch up kits to give you, which I used see real times during the day. I cannot recommend Katie and Mia enough as a perfect match to help you feel beautiful and yourself on your wedding day. Don’t hesitate to book with them!!

Katie and Mia (and the rest of Boston Beauty Network) were a pleasure to work with! They came highly recommended by my friends who have used them and they now have another very happy bride (and bridal party!). My initial call with Katie was a little over a year before the wedding. Katie instantly put me at ease and I was confident that their team was who we’d want to work with on our wedding day. They were so kind, friendly and made my girlfriends feel like the a million bucks. Katie and Mia were able to come up with a schedule to get 14 (yes 14!) people ready by 1:30pm which was beyond impressive. They took their time to work on each individual as if they were the only person in the room. The hair stylist or makeup artist asked each girl what look they were going for (pictures always help) and were able to DELIVER! They made each girl feel like the best version of themself. I truly never felt better and it’s all due to Katie and Mia. Thank you again for being beautiful (inside and out) individuals. I feel so fortunate to have worked with them.

Katie and Mia were wonderful to work with in planning my wedding this July. When my original preview didn’t go as planned, they immediately worked to find a solution and brought me back in for a new trial. Kristina did the most amazing job with the makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and my mum. She adjusted, asked questions, and took her time to really hear what everyone was looking for and provide advice. The makeup was beautiful, and she made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process! Jessica did a beautiful job with our hair - despite the extreme humidity, everyone’s hair lasted until 10pm!

They made me feel super comfortable at the trial and on my big day…they shared all their knowledge and advice with me to make sure I was confident in my look. My bridesmaids also looked STUNNING. Boston Beauty Network uses all the perfect products to make everyone look natural, especially with the airbrush makeup, but still PERFECT. They were fun, kind, and talented. Could not be happier!

After years of VERY questionable makeup as a bridesmaid, I knew I would be picky about who I picked for my own wedding. Boston Beauty Network delivered beautiful, natural, glowing makeup so that my wedding party and I looked like the best versions of ourselves. Our hair was expertly done in a wide range of styles to accomodate everyone's requests and remained beautifully done throughout the night! I loved working with Katie and Mia - their online portal made prep so easy and both were a joy to work with and spend time with the morning of the wedding! I loved how professional, responsive, and kind both women were and their work was nothing less than stunning. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and it is thanks to these ladies. I cannot recommend enough!

I had a great experience with Katie and Mia for my May wedding. I hired them for myself, my officiant, my mother, and 3 people in my party. They were prompt and prepared the day of the wedding, and my party was very impressed with their work. One of my bridesmaids said she liked her hair better for my wedding than for her own. My officiant stated that they made her “feel like herself again.” My mom has notoriously thick, difficult hair, and she was thrilled at the final outcome.
I did airbrush foundation and I used Luxe hair extensions for volume. The extensions were blended perfectly and looked like my real hair.

As a momma of 2 kids under 2 who never wears make up or always has my hair in a bun… they made me feel truly flawless. They really captivated what me and my girls wanted and exceeded our expectations. They are amazing people to work with and really make you feel comfortable. Also a bonus is, Katie is my aunt, so by having her do my makeup for my wedding day was truly such an amazing/emotional experience. She is the best!! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Boston Beauty Network for all beauty needs!!

Katie and Mia were everything I was looking for and more! I got married in September 2022 and was looking for a vendor who could do both hair and makeup for 11 people. I am so grateful to have found Boston Beauty Network because they did it perfectly. I had a hair and makeup trial and brought my mom with me for one as well. Throughout the trial, Katie and Mia listened to us and helped create a perfect look for both of us. They saved photos that they sent to us that day, and made sure we were happy with what we had decided together. On the day of my wedding, all of our hair and makeup looked amazing throughout the entire day. The timing of everything was perfect too. Not once did we feel rushed, and everything was done with time to spare. Katie and Mia brought energy and nothing but positive vibes with them as well. Everyone who received services was so impressed with them and was so happy with how they looked.

Katie and Mia are the best!! They were extremely organized and professional. They made me feel at ease throughout the whole process but also helped pump me up! My hair and makeup came out beautiful. I have thick, curly hair and my hair stayed perfect for the entire night. I do not wear make up a lot, so I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but they helped me decide on a look and it was perfect. My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids also had their hair and make up done by them and were all so happy! I would recommend Katie and Mia to anyone and if I ever need beauty services again I will absolutely be calling them!

Katie and Mia at Boston Beauty Network were wonderful! From my initial inquiry through my wedding day, they were very communicative and kind and easy to work with. I had a wonderful hair/make-up trial where I really felt heard about what I wanted my look to be for the day. And on my wedding day when we decided to make a couple changes to my make-up, Katie knew exactly what I was describing and my make-up looked beautiful and natural all day, and lasted all night! Mia did a fabulous job with my hair, and my curls held for 12hrs, including outside in the wind while taking photos! My bridesmaids, my mom, and MIL were all so pleased with how their hair and make-up came out. It is very clear that Katie and Mia are excellent at what they do and know the wedding industry well. I would recommended them to everyone!

The Boston Beauty Network is by far one of the best in New England! I worked with Katie for my make-up and from the first time I met her at my trial I felt so at ease. She listened to what I wanted, and worked with me to ensure it was exactly my vision. The day off, she truly felt like part of the family, and brought a calming energy to the whole day. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride!

I worked with Katie and Mia for my wedding day, and I would highly recommend them to any other bride! The trial was so much fun, and the ladies were so welcoming and friendly. By the time the wedding day came, it was like seeing friends again. All of my bridesmaids commented on how much they liked their hair and makeup (and also Katie and Mia), which says a lot, since we've all gotten our hair and makeup done for weddings many times! I absolutely loved my own hair and make up - I looked like an elevated version of myself, which is exactly how I wanted to look. Katie and Mia were so easy to work with, they were organized, truly listened to what each of us wanted, and did fantastic work all around.

Katie and Mia were awesome. My hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted - I had even changed my look last minute and they still nailed it! My bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful. You are in good hands with BBN.

Katie and Mia were amazing to work with! From our first phone call they immediately made me feel like I was in good hands with their organization and energy! For my wedding hair and makeup I had a very specific idea of what I wanted and sent Katie and Mia photos leading up to the wedding and they captured exactly what I was looking for! I loved my hair and makeup and felt like I looked exactly like me! We had 9 bridesmaids and Katie and Mia were super flexible to work on a schedule to start as late as possible but also with enough time to not feel rushed! Denise and Kristina were fabulous as well and my bridesmaids loved them! My bridesmaids looked gorgeous and we’re so happy with their hair and makeup! I couldn’t be happier with Boston Beauty Network and would 100% recommend!

I really enjoyed working with BBN for my wedding! I had a themed Gatsby wedding so our hair and make-up were also part of this time period. My initial call was timely and gave me a lot of information! My trial was rescheduled the week of, which was a little disappointing but Katie and Mia quickly got me on the books for a date and time that worked for myself and the person I was bringing. The trial was great! I worked with Ashley and Denise for my makeup and hair. They did an amazing job! On the day of, everyone was great with communication. I have a big wedding party and we ended up running slightly behind but that's to be expected - it didn't mess up my timeline at all and everyone was finished by the time they needed to be. Generally, communication post booking was good and I had a few allergies in the party to products and that was taken seriously and accommodated - much appreciated! Everyone looked stunning and we were all super happy!

We all really enjoyed working with BBN for my wedding. I had the first planning call with Katie and Mia and scheduled my trial with Sam. She was INCREDIBLE! I had some tweaks from the trial which I messaged before the wedding and it was no problem! Sam is an incredible human, fun hang, and made us all feel gorgeous! I would work with BBN again in a heartbeat!

First off, I LOVED the make-up artist I did the trial with and hired (Kristina). She was super friendly, sweet, detail-oriented. I have red hair and have never liked my make-up professionally done and she did a really great job! She worked through things in the trial and came super prepared! Multiple of my bridesmaids commented on how great she was (both make-up and personality)!
My negative feedback comes a bit from communication on the company side. Prior to booking with Boston Beauty Network, the owners were super attentive, did a phone call with me with both on the line. They both made a point to come introduce themselves to me during the trial.
After booking, email response time was not great. I'm not a super needy person but I found in the process of wedding planning that communication and responsiveness is super key to being able to plan a wedding while juggling regular life, so I wanted to leave honest feedback about that part of my experience. The owners were super nice and I know wedding seasons are crazy, but definitely an area for improvement

Thank you for your review, Kelsey. It's great to hear from client who loved their artists...

Katie was awesome and provided an excellent experience!! As a bride, she completely understood and followed through with my make up vision. She made me feel so beautiful and fancy yet not overdone. I appreciated her guidance and suggestions throughout the whole process as I am unfamiliar with some aspects of makeup. My bridesmaids and the moms loved their makeup as well! The option to pay ahead of my wedding day was very convenient- no one wants to worry about payment and tipping math the morning of their big day! Mia and Katie also did my engagement pictures and bridal shower hair & makeup and did a fantastic job. Thank you Katie and Mia for being professional, clean, friendly, and fantastic at what they do- I would recommend them to any bride! I never knew getting makeup done could be so fun.

Boston Beauty Network was truly the best for hair and makeup! Dom and Kari were my artists, and they were able to make me and my bridesmaids look beautiful yet natural, and it was just perfect. Booking couldn't have been easier - you get an online portal that has all information and details, and then we did a trial and anything I was unsure of or questioned was corrected and made perfect for the big day. Me and my girls looked perfect becuase of Boston Beauty Network, and I highly recommend booking them for your wedding !

I found Katie and Mia via the Knot after reading reviews and interviewing a few other Hair/MU people. I really enjoyed working with them from start to finish. They are not only professional and great communicators, but extremely talented in their crafts. I adjusted after the trial, and the girls completely understood my changes and vision. I loved how everything turned out and would definitely use them again if I am in the area. Highly recommend them if you want to look and feel like a gorgeous queen on your wedding day!

Katie and Mia were amazing! I typically never wear makeup, or do my hair, so I was nervous and unsure what to look for in hair and makeup artists. Katie and Mia made me feel relaxed and confident. I am so glad I got to work with such a kind, talented, and organized team. They were quick to respond to any questions I had, and listened to my suggestions. I felt beautiful on the day, and their planning and teamwork played a large role!

Kate and Mia were the best bridal makeup team I could’ve asked for. They were on time, well prepared, so professional and beyond talented! They did such a fabulous job with all 12 ladies and made me feel so special and nailed my bridal look perfectly. Everyone’s makeup lasted the entire evening and looked just as flawless at midnight as it did at 1pm.

I came across Katie and Mia while doing some research on hair and makeup teams for our wedding in Maine. Being out of state, I was nervous about finding a good quality team in the area who could help make my vision come to life. From the initial phone consultation, I knew I wanted to work with them. They asked so many great questions and really cared about making me happy and bringing my hair and makeup vision for the day to life. They were also one of few vendors willing to travel out of state and I am so thankful they did! They were flexible and accommodating with my trial and even after when I decided I wanted to go a different direction, they were so incredibly receptive and open and made sure I was 100% happy with my look on my wedding day. All of my girls absolutely loved their looks too and Katie and Mia were both so sweet and personable and such pleasures to work with. Thank you both for helping us all feel so beautiful!

I hired Mia & Katie the summer I got engaged. My fiancé proposed May 2020, right in the middle of quarantine. We quickly booked our wedding for NYE 2021 and were on the hunt for vendors, Boston Beauty Network stood out to me. From the start Mia & Katie were so helpful and accommodating! My trial was set for Columbus day weekend, the day of our engagement pictures (pro tip, have your trial & photos the same day!). It ended up raining and they worked with my photographer and myself to pick a new date! I loved how everything looked and after the trial they even fixed my hair and makeup so my then fiancé, wouldn't know what I would look like on our wedding day! A year later I decided I wanted to switch up my hair and they had another trial with me! Come November Covid started to hit hard again. I had some family members decide not to get ready with us and the number of people getting ready kept changing. Mia & Katie were so helpful and supportive and rewrote the schedule a few times!
The best day ever!
Waking up the morning of our wedding I was so nervous! Right when Mia, Katie, and their two other makeup artists walked in my nerves went away! They were so upbeat and excited! They danced and sang along with the music and made everything so fun. All of my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mother looked amazing! What I loved is that even though their hair and makeup were done, they still looked like themselves! A few of my bridesmaids asked to switch their hair up a little and they were so understanding and stayed to do it. They also did touch ups which was so helpful!
If you don't hire Boston Beauty Network for your wedding you are missing out!!!
Thank you Katie & Mia! I hope I get to work with you again soon!!!!

Katie and Mia are amazing! We learned about them from our close friend, and their work surpassed all of our expectations. They did hair and makeup for twelve people for our wedding flawlessly! From my makeup trial to the actual day-of they were extremely organized, super prompt, and highly detailed. We were beyond happy with our experience with Boston Beauty Network. It is hard to describe, but they also have fabulous energy, which made our 'getting ready' morning so nice! We highly recommend them to all our friends!!!

Katie and Mia are a pleasure to work with!
As soon as I got off the phone with them for an initial consultation, I knew I wanted to hire them for my special day. On the actual wedding day itself, though we had an early start, Katie and Mia brought so much happy and positive energy, and my girls, my mom, aunt and mother in law were all so happy with their hair and make up! Thank you Katie and Mia, for making me feel so special! 10/10 recommend Boston Beauty Network. ❤️

Katie and Mia are such a joy to work with! They did hair and makeup for 10 people on my wedding day and everyone was so happy with their results and experience!
For my trial I was so happy to have Katie and Mia as my beauty sherpas because, on the makeup side, I have no idea what I’m talking about or what to ask for, and on the hair side, I asked for a long complicated braid—neither phased them and they put together a look that was exactly what I had pictured!
They’re work speaks for itself—everyone looked stunning on my wedding day, but on top of that, they made the bridal suite such a fun place to be 😊 they had me and the girls laughing and smiling all throughout our services and they were such a big part of making the day special!

I would absolutely recommend Boston Beauty Network. They are so personable and did a fantastic job! They took the time to talk about what I was looking for at my trial, and made sure my hair and makeup were everything i dreamed of for my wedding day. Both hair and makeup lasted the whole night (even being on the ocean in August heat!). All of my bridesmaids looked beautiful and were very happy too

Katie and Mia were incredible to work with through the whole process, from our first call together all the way through Mia pinning in my veil before my first look with my dad. They accommodated the vision of each of my bridesmaids and my mom and mother in law down to every eyelash. They glammed up those who wanted to be glam and kept it super natural for those who preferred that look. Their work was beautiful- I saw my Bridesmaids each come to life one by one as they came out of the chair. They all LOVED their looks and wear glowing with confidence all night. They worked together seamlessly and I’m so glad I went with them for my wedding! Look no further- you’ve got to book Boston Beauty Network.

Katie & Mia are the best!!! They made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and engagement session. They are professional, responsive, and super fun!!! I have to amend my contract with them the last minute because my mom can't fly to US for my wedding due to COVID. They were so flexible & understanding. And I had such great time with both on the trial date& wedding date & engagement session date. They used great products and they gave me the best advise for my looks. I love my hairs & makeups . I highly recommend them for your wedding!!!
