Bridal Squad

Bridal squad was the most incredible hair and makeup I could have asked for! All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks and the team added a calm relax energy to getting ready that was exactly what I wanted. I asked Elena for some tweaks to hair and makeup day of and she executed perfectly. Do not hesitate to book they are the best!!

When I tell you best. bridal. squad. EVER. I mean it!! When I had my trial a few months before my wedding, Elena absolutely nailed it. (Also want to preface this with the fact that I was initially pretty scared about having someone else do my makeup on my wedding day) I was really intentional about trying to find someone that would just make me look like me but enhanced a bit! Elena made me feel like an absolute PRINCESS. Truly was blown away by her expertise & how truly heard I felt. She brought my vision to life and more. ALSO!! Ana her co-founder was incredible. I had about 15 girls getting hair/makeup done and every single one raved about how much they loved their hair & makeup. It was such a gift having these two there on my wedding day. I also switched my hair last minute without a trial and Elena NAILED it! She truly left no crumbs. So glad I found these women!!

I could not recommend Anna and her team more highly! She and a team of three provided all of the hair and makeup services for myself, eight bridesmaids, two moms, and three flower girls for my wedding in October and everyone looked absolutely stunning!! They ran such a tight ship - all of the services ran on schedule and were so professional but fun throughout the morning. I met with Anna several months before the wedding to do a hair/makeup trial and she was great at making suggestions based on what my vision was and absolutely loved the final result. The makeup looked flawless and elevated without being "over the top" and the hair (low bun with a bit of a side swoop) came out beautifully and held all day/night long - even with plenty of dancing and jumping around! :) Extra shout outs - my maid of honor told me it was the first time she ever loved how her makeup came out for a wedding and my mom, who rarely wears makeup, is now curious about trying fake eyelashes because of how beautifully they made her eyes pop on my wedding day! Couldn't be more appreciative of Anna and her team, their professionalism, incredible hair and makeup skills, and fun vibes/attitudes were everything I could have asked for!

My mom and I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my sister’s wedding. My sister found Elena on online and the entire time she was extremely responsive and communicative with all parties involved which is much needed with all the chaos of wedding planning! I got my hair and makeup done first the day of the wedding, so I showed Elena the Inso pic I wanted for my hair and makeup and she knocked it out of the park and made me look like a million bucks. No notes, as she captured what I wanted perfectly! My hair and makeup lasted over 12 hours and she applied it in a way that didn’t feel heavy either as makeup usually does at the end of the day. My mom was running late the day of and Elena was so nice and patient and also worked her magic on my mom. The entire night we got nonstop comments from friends and family and I’m so glad my sister found Elena somehow. I will 100% hire Elena again for any future events!!

Two years ago, my friend got married and had Anna and Adelia do everyone’s hair and make up. I was in love with the work that they did and hired them two years later for my own wedding! Anna and her team of artists were incredible! They made all of my 12 girls look and feel so beautiful! Specifically about Anna - not only is she amazing at what she does, she is a wonderful person to work with. She was so attentive and listened to everything I wanted and executed my look to perfection! She even spent time with me on the phone the week of my wedding to discuss last minute ideas and changes I wanted. She is also very kind and such an enjoyable person to talk with and have a part of your special day. Anna and her team are absolutely exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I highly recommend them and have already been telling friends about their services. 12/10 would recommend!!!!

I 100% recommend Bridal Squad! Elena was our lead artist, and she was fantastic from the bridal trial to the wedding day. Elena has a very calming energy that is much appreciated on the morning of a wedding. She is extremely professional and brought my vision to life perfectly. My makeup stayed all day and photographed beautifully. I ended up keeping her for a few hours of touch-ups during the first look, which I highly recommend. After the bridal trial, I decided to change my hair look, which Elena was able to manage seamlessly. The morning of the wedding, she was very patient as I showed her inspiration photos and asked for little adjustments here and there. I could not be happier with how my hair turned out. On the wedding day, Elena brought two artists with her, who my bridesmaids absolutely loved as well. I had 11 women in total getting hair and/or makeup that morning, which sounds hectic, but everything ran according to plan. Thank you, Bridal Squad, for making the morning of my wedding day absolutely perfect <3

Anna was such a pleasure to work with from my makeup trial all the way to my big day! She truly made me feel so beautiful and confident. My hair and makeup as well as all of my bridal parties’ held up beautifully throughout the entirety of the night! Highly highly recommend!

I am so grateful to have found Anna! I was searching for a while all over the internet and social media for someone that can achieve the look I was going for - natural! With the multitude of options out there I felt like most vendors made every bride look the same, with extremely heavy makeup and mirroring Kim K. Anna did a beautiful natural look and enhanced all of my features. She also did my hair which was an updo that was not heavy and my hair didn’t feel hard which can happen with other hairstylists when they use excessive hairspray. It looked beautiful. From reviewing her portfolio she can do very diverse looks. She arrived early and was very professional. The price point for NYC was reasonable! Both me and my mother in law were very happy with her services. Highly recommend and would book again!

Elena was a fantastic and very detailed makeup artist. From the minute of the start of the trial to the minute she put on my veil at the end, she was detailed, punctual on time always, relaxed, and made me feel so beautiful. She accentuated features of my face and hair that I never even knew I had. She worked wonders and made me feel like a princess. I would recommend Elena to anyone and everyone time and time again. She will work wonders to make you feel perfect and like royalty on your special day.

Elena did my hair and makeup for my wedding welcome party and my wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. She is so skillful at *both* hair and makeup, takes a lot of time to understand what look you're after, and ensures that you are happy with the final result. She is a very calming presence and strictly sticks to a timeline. I would hire her again over & over!!!! Thank you Elena!

I loved working with Elena & the bridal squad! We all had trials to ensure we had the looks we wanted. Elena and her team were kind & patient and took the time to understand what looks we wanted to achieve. I was nervous about making sure I looked natural and myself, and Elena did an incredible job bringing out my features while making sure I still felt like me! My sister-in-law wanted a slightly more glam look, and her team did that beautifully as well! On the wedding day, the Elena and her assistant were punctual, put together a solid timeframe, and actually ran ahead of it! They kept the getting-ready area calm and it really put me at ease. I felt beautiful, and we all looked ready to celebrate all day long!

Elena and her team were amazing! So talented, professional, and fun to work with! Would definitely recommend for your wedding day!

I am so so thankful for Anna and Susana! Not only were they perfectly punctual (coming all the way from upper Manhattan to central NJ on a summer weekend!), very professional, and super talented, but they are also beautiful, lovely people with great vibes and energy that mixed great with the bridal party and was exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. Their work is simply gorgeous - everyone looked and felt so beautiful! My look was exactly how I had been envisioning it - I loved my hair and makeup so much. Anna did my hair and make up and I am beyond thrilled with my entire look! She put me at ease and I knew I could trust her, there was no fuss or back and forth or anything like that - she is simply so talented. I am so thankful for you Anna!

Elena and her team were fantastic to work with for my wedding last weekend. Myself and my bridesmaids all felt absolutely beautiful! My hair and makeup came out better than I could have imagined. Elena was kind, detailed, professional and listened to exactly what I was looking for. Extremely talented. I felt beautiful all day long into the evening, and received so many compliments from family & friends on my hair and makeup. Highly recommend!!

Anna & her team were a pleasure to work with. They were professional & really understood what each person was looking for. I’ve been part of a few wedding where the stylist just worked as quickly as possible & the looks did not hold but they took their time to make sure everyone looked amazing! Anna is extremely meticulous & attentive! Communication was great & easy as well Highly recommend!

I booked Bridal Squad for my wedding hair and makeup which took place on June 22nd, 2024 in the Hamptons. My entire experience with Anna was incredible from start to finish. Anna was extremely communicative and accommodating for both my trial and wedding day. I loved her work so much from my trial that I even booked her another event I had before my wedding! She is now my go-to for glam. Anna took the time to understand my vision of natural yet elevated wedding day makeup, and executed it perfectly, offering her expert advice and personalized suggestions. She only uses high quality products and works meticulously to get the color and look just right. On the day of the wedding, the team arrived on time and immediately set to work with such calm and positive energy, which kept me relaxed and excited for the day ahead. I loved my finished look, and so did the others who received services. My hair and makeup held up all day and night (even through a humid east coast day with a little rain at the end!) and I received so many compliments. I can’t thank Anna and Bridal Squad enough for making me feel so confident and stunning on such an important day. If you’re looking for a hair and makeup team that is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, I highly recommend Bridal Squad.

Anna was amazing from start to finish. Friendly, professional, put everyone at ease, and beautiful hair and makeup that looked natural and not over the top. Gave everyone exactly what they wanted and in a timely way so we could leave for the wedding on time. Hire Anna!

I had the opportunity to work with Anna on my wedding day and she was terrific to work alongside with. She checked in with my preferences and thoughts so towards the end, there were no surprises. She worked with me from start to finish to ensure I was satisfied and I’ll certainly be calling on her for upcoming events.

I had a wonderful experience working with Bridal Squad for my wedding! I booked hair styling for myself and my bridesmaids, as well as makeup for my bridal party (I had a separate makeup artist). I worked with Anna, who was the primary stylist. She is professional, kind, and personable. Her skills are incredible - my hair looked perfect and stayed in place all day. She helped me with other aspects of wedding preparation such as buying extensions, choosing a hair cut to flatter my wedding hairstyle, and caring for my hair. For the wedding day, the team styled a broad range of looks for my bridesmaids, who were all thrilled with their makeup and hair. The team was very efficient; we even finished getting ready a bit earlier than scheduled. Overall, they are excellent and I highly recommend them!

Elena is a professional. I was absolutely happy with my wedding makeup and hairstyle! Everything was perfect, neat, stylish, beautiful and how I wanted it. Besides the fact that Elena is one of the best stylists I have worked with, she is very pleasant to communicate with, diplomatic and polite. highly recommend.

Anna and Elena made everyone in our wedding party look and feel gorgeous - but still looking like ourselves, which was important to us. They were friendly and got everyone ready on schedule and were able to incorporate all feedback we had from our hair and makeup trials. We had Anna stay for touch ups before the ceremony and it was well worth it due to the August humidity. She was on top of fixing hair and blotting during photos. Highly recommend!

Fantastic, fabulous, flawless! I cannot say enough about Elena and Bridal Squad Pro for my wedding hair and makeup. And ladies- go treat yourself to a trial and a night out. I learned so many helpful ideas about my wedding look that made things picture perfect! Elena was the most wonderful professional, super communicative, reliably on time for my trial and wedding and her colleagues who came day of were also fantastic. Elena is thoughtful, responsive, and excellent at what she does. I had 6 bridesmaids and MOH and MOG getting both hair and makeup and everything was beautifully on time. And everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup. Win win! And my favorite thing, I didn’t require a single touch-up! Hair superb-even with a little wind, make-up flawless and including lip color. I cannot say enough how happy and thankful I am to have had Elena and her team for my wedding. Thank you and I can’t wait for another event!

Elena and her team are incredible! They are so skilled and gave my bridesmaids and me natural, effortless makeup and hair styling. They were so easy to work with and very responsive. I recommend!

Anna and her team did an incredible job for the hair and makeup services provided for me, my mom, mother-in-law and bridesmaids for my wedding. Anna did my hair & makeup for my wedding day + trial and she made me feel comfortable and confident while creating such a natural, elevated look. Anna is friendly, funny, patient and easy to work with, taking the time to ask you what look you are hoping to achieve and helping it become a reality. During my hair and makeup trial, Anna asked what makeup I typically use and blended it with her products to come up with a custom look unique for the day of. She also recommended products for my skin to help prep ahead of the wedding, which was extremely helpful. I originally thought I wanted half up/half down for my hair but at my trial, Anna and I both agreed that it looked perfect fully down - the romantic waves look that Anna created was unique and made me feel so special (I still can't believe that was all my hair without extensions!). My hair not only lasted through my actual wedding, but also through the next couple of days! Thanks again for the amazing work of the Bridal Squad team!

It was such a pleasant experience to work with Elena for my bridal hair! I wanted something subtle and natural looking. She was so professional and communicative. She made a point to really understand what I was looking for and absolutely delivered!

Anna did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid at my friend’s wedding. I noticed that she asks a lot of questions before actually doing your makeup. I don’t wear a lot on my face in every day life so my biggest fear was to leave with the caked mask on and huge lashes. I liked the way my look turned out - an enhanced version of my day to day makeup where I still can recognize myself but more sophisticated and flattering. When it came the time for my wedding I knew who to hire. I am amazed by Anna’s attention to the detail. Not only she will suggest the most suitable look for your features, face, style of the dress she also can explain why certain things won’t look good or work out. On the day of the wedding the team arrived on time and finished all the services according to the timeline. I really appreciate Anna’s ability to calm even the most nervous bride with her soothing nature and calm demeanor. I can’t recommend her enough to all my girlfriends that are getting married.

Having Elena and her team on board for your wedding is one of the best decisions you can make. Elena is extraordinarily talented, kind, and attentive. My bridal party, mom, and I all felt so beautiful for my wedding. Because of their artistry, our hair and makeup lasted all day and night (and even the morning after!). I cannot recommend Bridal Squad enough!

Elena and her team at the Bridal Squad are incredible. Truly look no further! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and my hair and makeup lasted the entire night! From my hair and makeup up trial, to the amazing Hollywood waves and natural make up for my rehearsal, to my epic half up half down hair and natural glowy makeup for my wedding, Elena can do it all! Elena was a breeze to work with. She was so kind, understanding and accommodating when I asked to use some of my makeup due to skin sensitivity. Prior to the wedding, she even spent time to pull inspiration for my mom and sister. I had 11 girls get ready with me and Elena and her team were so good that we even ended early! Everyone was raving about their hair and makeup. I am so incredibly grateful to Elena and her team at the Bridal Squad for bringing pure magic to our wedding festivities. I would recommend her time and time again. Thank you so much for everything!!

Elena was amazing. She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding and I have never felt more beautiful. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process— which means a lot because I am not a big makeup person. And maybe most importantly, after the trial when I gave her some edits /suggestions, she followed every single one of them and did exactly what I asked for. Thank you Elena!!

Anna provides exceptional service, is patient, and, on the day of, provided a calming influence. Right from the makeup and hair trial, it was clear that Anna knew not only how to create great looks but also how to brainstorm ideas on what suits different people. My hair and makeup stayed all day and I received so many compliments on Anna's work. On the day of, Anna went above and beyond -- she put food in the fridge, touched up everyone's clothes during photos, etc. (i.e., things which most definitely were not part of her role but just shows the kind of person she is -- helpful, kind and really good at her job). I cannot recommend Anna enough. Thank you Anna!

THEY WERE AMAZING! We had 11 people to get ready and they executed on time and not one person complained about their hair. I feel so lucky to have picked them.

Elena and her team were incredible Great communication. All of our hair and makeup lasted for 13 hours. I liked that I looked like myself but glamorous and elevated.

Anna did a phenomenal job with my hair and make up for my bridal shower. She color matched my skin perfectly and used products that had me looking my best on my special day! She asked questions to get to know me and my style which was appreciated and really helped with creating my look. I had family and friends raving about my hair style and glowy make up. I will definitely be using Anna for hair and make up services in the future and referring her to my friends in the NJ/NYC area.

Anna and her team were amazing to work with. I had previously been with a different bridal makeup and hair team that took weeks on end to respond and the customer service was poor. I decided to look for another person. I came across Anna who from the first message was polite, quick to respond, and fair. She followed my vision and executed it perfectly. Not to mention that she did a phenomenal job with my bridesmaids and girls in the wedding party. She is super polite with great customer service and her work is impeccable. I got so many comments on how beautiful my hair and makeup looked. She does a gorgeous look while still looking natural and seamless. She’s also a sweet and fun person which makes working with her even better, especially on a high stress day like your wedding day. Thanks so much Anna & team!

I recently got married and was lucky enough to hire Bridal Squad for my hair and make-up. Anna and her team arrived on time, we extremely nice and worked tirelessly from 830AM to 2:00PM taking only a few breaks for a sip of water. My bridesmaids are more natural girlies--typically wearing no make-up (they truly don't need it)!! The Bridal Squad made my bridesmaids feel beautiful while accentuating their natural beauty with subtle make-up. And let me tell you, my girls looks flawless and LOVED their looks!!! I had met Anna prior to my wedding day during my bridal trial. As someone with high expectations and perfectionist myself, I could tell Anna was going to match my need for flawlessness from the start. Anna's eye for detail and meticulous work ethic put me at ease immediately, which is not easy to do!! I had no worry that she was going to treat me like a VIP and settle for nothing less than perfection. Aside from her driven nature, what I loved most about Anna was her knowledge about skin prep prior to the big day. Anna gave me several pointers--ladies take notes, because oh my gosh it paid off!!! I strongly recommend Anna and the Bridal Squad for your wedding--I promise you will not regret it!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!!

Anna was amazing! I had two other makeup trials before hers, and I instantly knew I wanted her to do my wedding makeup. She was professional, kind, and extremely talented. On the day of my wedding she came prepared, and absolutely blew me away. I've never felt more beautiful! The makeup lasted ALL day. I've had professional makeup before, but none lasted as well as Anna's. I would recommend her and her team to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless makeup. My sister loved her makeup, too! Thanks for helping us look and feel beautiful!

Anna did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect. Despite crying so many times during the day, my make up looked great 12 hours later. I also felt and looked like myself as someone who does not usually wear a lot of make up. Her energy while I was getting ready was exactly what I needed. Thank you Anna!!

I cannot say enough good things about Elena and the Bridal Squad team! She is so beyond talented and patient, making you feel calm and at ease while getting ready for your wedding. She mastered the glam but natural look I wanted and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. They kept the appointments right on schedule even with adding extensions, up do’s and special make up requests for my friends and family getting ready with me! You will not regret hiring Elena and team! Thank you again ❤️❤️!!

Working with Elena and Bridal Squad Pro was a dream! She came all the way to me in NJ for the trial and clearly took notes. I wanted a few things changed come wedding day and she took my notes perfectly. I'm not used to wearing a lot of makeup, but she made me feel so beautiful! She was very responsive and very flexible when I had some last minute service changes needed. It was pouring rain during my entire wedding and she managed to make my makeup and (typically frizzy/curly) hair stay put. Elena brought Danielle to do makeup on my wedding day and Danielle was also great. Both Elena and Danielle were extremely professional and calm amidst the craziness happening around them with so many people getting ready in one room. I would highly recommend Bridal Squad Pro for a great experience and beautiful, elevated services that don't look over the top.

Anna did my hair and make up for my wedding and created the perfect look for me. I highly recommend choosing Anna to have on your team for your wedding day 10/10 absolute perfection. Thank you Anna !

Anna is the absolute best. I had a great experience working with her both at my trial and the morning of my wedding. She is so talented and truly a perfectionist who listens to what you want and wants to make sure you feel your best. She was also a total professional about a last minute change to my hair (I had a panicked moment about a choice I made and she whipped into action and and fixed it). She and Daniela came on my wedding day and my bridesmaids looked so gorgeous and everyone was so so happy with their hair and makeup - most of us requested natural, light makeup looks and they listened and did exactly that (which doesn't always happen!) and it lasted all day and night for all of us. They also brought great energy and fun to the morning and really put me at ease before my ceremony! I would absolutely book with them again and would recommend them a million times!

Elena & her team made each and every part of working together feel seamless from start to finish. Elena is extremely responsive and flexible. From my trial to my big day, Elena was kind, professional, and an absolute problem solver. I had to add services for additional bridesmaids last minute and she worked with me to be sure we could make it happen. I would highly recommend Elena and her team for your big day or any special event. She made me, my family, and friends look and feel so beautiful!

Anna and her team were amazing! So happy I booked with Bridal Squad for my wedding. From the moment I reached out, Anna was very responsive and provided excellent communication. We ended up doing 2 trials as I changed my mind on my hair closer to the wedding. She was very accommodating and patient in helping me achieve my dream look. On our wedding day we got hit with a tropical storm so it was a tad stressful but she came with great energy and helped me stay calm and kept all of our services on track. We all loved our looks and I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup! It lasted through all the rain and humidity and I've never felt more beautiful. I would highly recommend!

Bridal Squad was truly a pleasure to work with! Anna was patient with me and helped create the perfect bridal waves for me. She stayed way after everyone's hair was done, to make sure she was around to help me with my veil once I was in my dress, which I was very thankful for! The team was also very flexible, even squeezing in an extra unplanned hairstyle. They made everyone feel beautiful, and I couldn't be happier that we chose them for this special day!

overall great experience. super polite and laid back yet professional at the same time. just genuinely enjoyable and did a fabulous job.

Anna and her team were punctual, attentive, and did a wonderful job! Ahead of time, Anna ensured we would have enough staff to cover all needs on our timeline. I let Anna know closer to the wedding date that I'd changed my idea for my wedding look, and we worked together to come up with an amazing look that incorporated everything I envisioned.

Would highly recommend! Elena did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I have never felt more beautiful. She and her team listened to each woman who was getting their hair and makeup done and gave them exactly what they asked for- everyone was genuinely pleased with the way they looked! My makeup lasted all night which was some sort of magic. Couldn’t be happier!

Bridal Squad is amazing!! Elena did such a good job on my makeup and hair for my wedding. I got so many compliments and it lasted all night. All my bridesmaids looked amazing too and loved their hairstyles. Definitely recommend hiring them for your wedding!!
