Brittany and her team were absolutely incredible! With only two weeks before my wedding, I needed a new artist, and Brittany came to the rescue. She responded instantly, was so professional and accommodating, and somehow fit me into her busy schedule. She truly saved the day!
On my wedding day, Brittany and her team worked their magic—my hair and makeup were flawless and lasted perfectly through the entire night! I got endless compliments and felt so confident and beautiful. I can’t recommend Brittany and her team enough! If you’re looking for a personable, reliable, and talented artist, Brittany is the one for you. Thank you again, Brittany!
Brittany and her crew were amazing! I had a total of 11 women getting ready with hair and makeup including myself and they actually finished early that's how efficient they were! My ladies had all different hair colors and types, and they all looked gorgeous. Brittany and her crew gave such a calm vibe the morning of my wedding too. As we got ready we were joking around and just having a generally good time. With 11 different people there were 11 different personalities to handle and Brittany and her team did so professionally and with grace! There were never any stressful moments and everyone looked absolutely stunning. 10/10 would recommend
The whole team was amazing! We had about 9 people getting their hair and makeup done and everyone loved how it turned out!
Any questions?
Brittany was the absolute best hair and makeup professional! I was actually a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding she did and I absolutely loved her and chose her for my own wedding. She really listens to what you want. Any questions you had she replied very quick and was very easy to work with! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and my hair and makeup came out PERFECT for my wedding day! I would highly recommend Brittany and her to team to anyone!
I got married on 9/6/2024 and I have NEVER felt more beautiful!! Brittany and her team are professional, kind and beyond talented. Brittany and team were the same group that did the glam for my friends wedding back in 2021 and when it was time for me to book my wedding vendors, Brittany was the first and only hair and makeup team I contacted. That is how amazing they are!! My mom, MIL and bridesmaids all looked gorgeous at the wedding. Cannot recommend Brittany enough!!
I got married on August 9th 2024. Brittany and her staff were awesome. Friendly and very personable. Everyone’s hair and makeup came out amazing! She was reasonably priced and took her time to make sure we all looked great. Highly recommend her!
Brittany is an absolute gem. I was very nervous to start the beauty process as I have never gotten my makeup professionally done and I'm not really into glam as a hobby. From our first emails all through wedding day, Brittany was always responsive and made me feel calm, heard, and communicated with me thoroughly to make sure we were on the same page.
She totally understood that I wanted to look like myself but elevated. She saw my vision and aced both hair and makeup looks at our first and only trial together. She plus one of her talented colleagues ended up doing hair and/or makeup for me, my 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL. We all looked incredible! Even when I accidentally got us started approx 30min late after misreading the contract start time, Brittany was so calm and kind and managed to get us all ready with time to spare. She also helped reassure me, let me take breaks when I needed to, and gave me the best advice when I was dealing with some pretty stressful day-of things like weather and guest drop-outs.
I have never felt more beautiful than I did on our wedding day! I got told I looked like a model so many times it was crazy :). Brittany's work is amazing. My hair and makeup held up all day and night (probably like 17 hrs worth) despite the NJ humidity, tons of dancing, and even some rain. Not to mention I did a workout class after my trial and same thing!
I would highly recommend Brittany to any bride. She is truly and artist, plus she's just a joy to be around which is really what you want on your wedding day. You won't regret hiring her!
I looked and felt amazing on my wedding day thanks to Brittany! Her and her team member Elizabeth did a terrific job doing the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and the moms. My makeup by Brittany stayed on flawlessly throughout the day and night. I received so many compliments on my makeup and cannot wait to see how my pictures came out! I highly recommend working with Brittany for any hair and makeup needs!
It was wonderful to have Desired Beauty By Brittany be a part of my wedding day! Her and her staff are both professional and accommodating.They made me and my bridal party look fabulous! Throughout wedding planning Brittany was quick to answer emails and able to answer any and all questions I had. On the day of my wedding Brittany told me she had a vision for my hair after seeing my wedding dress. She asked if we could do something different than my wedding trial. I agreed and I am so glad I did! Her vision fit my wedding dress and venue more than it did at my trial. Brittany and her team are knowledgeable and talented at their craft. I highly recommend Desired Beauty By Brittany for any special occasion. THANK YOU! (:
I really enjoyed working with Brittany for my wedding. From the initial makeup trial run through to the actual day, she was responsive, professional, and great at her job. She was able to create a hair and makeup look that was gorgeous, and she also did a great job with the bridesmaids.
My biggest fear on my wedding day was that I was not going to beautiful enough to feel happy. Brittany took away that fear completely and I had never felt more beautiful in my life. She and her team made my bridesmaids and I look absolutely gorgeous. She was so much fun to work with and truly made my day special. She is definitely reasonably priced and she works hard to get everything done. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Brittany for making my day amazing!
Brittany was sweet and helpful throughout my experience. She was able to see my vision and executed my hair and make up on my big day wonderfully. :-)
Loved working with Brittany! She was early and efficient, she helped me feel beautiful for my big day! I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Brittany was a dream to work with! We initially did a trial hair/makeup last December 2022 and she took her time, listened to what I was looking for, and perfected it! I was traveling from out of state (Florida) and only was up in NJ for a week and she was able to find some time to do the trial (during the holidays even) and even come to my in-laws house! She was also extremely accommodating with some last minute wedding changes, which I was super appreciative of. Then comes the wedding September 2023 and she did a fantastic job on myself and all of my bridesmaids and my mother in law. I even cried when I first saw myself in the mirror, it was that amazing! As a person who never wears makeup, she was able to transform my dream into a reality! And when everything was done/over and I was back in the hotel room around 11/12 that night, the makeup still looked EXACTLY the same as if it was just put on- it stayed on through the happy tears throughout the day and the dancing and everything. Just AMAZING! I got tons of compliments from everyone- I highly recommend her and her team!!
Both times- for the trial and day-of, she was early/on-time (which I'm an early person so I loved it), she had everything set up/ready to go before the start time, she was super efficient with my entire bridal party and myself, and she was able to finish before the photographer arrived in our suite (which our photographer was super happy about and even said it rarely happens when the makeup/hair team is actually on time)! LOVED the promptness. She also was always very quick to respond with any questions throughout the booking process and the days/weeks leading up to the wedding itself!
Overall, an excellent vendor! I'm SO glad I booked her for both the trial and day-of. She went above and beyond! Thank you SO much Brittany and team!
Brittany was a pleasure to work with from the booking process to the trial to the day of event!! She was super responsive, respectful, punctual and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the wedding day look. For my trial, we tested many different styles and she was super patient and kind and even suggested a hair style that I didn’t even think of which ended up being the look of the day!! The wedding day she came super early, set up and finished ahead of schedule. I was very particular with picking a hair and makeup since the bridal squad members all had different hair and skin tones, but Brittany made everyone look so beyond gorgeous. I felt so happy and confident in my look and my hair and makeup were intact throughout the day even with the heavy veil and all the dancing! Thank you so much Brittany for making me feel so beautiful on my very special day!! I can’t wait to refer her to all my friends when they get married!
Brittany did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She had us all ready ahead of time and everyone looked amazing!
Skilled, timely, courteous, attentive, and open to feedback are just a few words I can describe this vendor. Brittany and her team were amazing. The bridal party (5), mother of the bride/groom and I could not have asked for a better team to make our individual makeup/hair visions come to life.
I can’t say enough about Brittany! She did such an amazing job with makeup and her assistant. Everyone at my wedding kept saying how flawless myself and my bridesmaids looked. Even with the amount of times I cried it held together! From the moment I hired Brittany to 2 trials and constant communication it was the easiest process ever. She understood exactly what I was looking for and was just a pleasure to work with in general. I cannot recommend her enough!
Where do I even begin?! Brittany and her team were an absolute dream to work with. I was initially stressed about finding a hair and makeup artist that really brought my vision to life, but once I saw Brittany's stunning portfolio and got to know her, I was instantly put at ease. Brittany is responsive, collaborative, warm, and incredibly friendly. I had a blast getting to know her at my trial, where she absolutely nailed my smoky eye look. Brittany not only fashioned my (heavy!) hair piece in a way that was comfortable, but suggested adding a waterfall braid that really completed the look. I left my trial feeling gorgeous + confident in my decision -- and incredibly giddy to work with Brittany on wedding day.
In the weeks ahead of the wedding, Brittany proactively reached out for "inspo" pictures for all of the folx getting their hair + makeup done. This removed a lot of stressful decision making for the bridal party, mothers, and officiant come wedding day and added to the excitement.
Brittany, Briana, and Elizabeth arrived early on Wedding Day. They were organized, efficient, and completely dazzled my mom, mother-in-law, and bridal party. Throughout our session, my bridesmaids pulled me aside to say how impressed they were with Brittany's team. One even said, "Man, I wish you guys were going to be at the wedding!" It's safe to say that left an impression!
I was so happy with how my hair and makeup came out. It stayed perfect all day and helped make me feel beautiful on the big day. Can't recommend Desired Beauty by Brittany enough!
I felt like an absolute princess the day of my wedding! I was thrilled. The girls were so sweet, easy to chat with during the day, so friendly and most importantly so talented! Everyone loved how their hair and makeup came out and everyone looked beautiful!
thank you so much everyone!!
Brittany was responsive, talented, and professional from Day 1. She always got back to me quickly which is a huge stress reliever when you're planning a wedding and have a million vendors and moving parts to organize. We did a hair trial and she was honest with me and said that what I was looking for was going to be difficult with my hair length (I did not want extensions), so we picked a different hairstyle and she brought it to life on my wedding day. She arrived early (another huge stress reliever on a big day with a million moving parts!). She did my bridal hair and my bridesmaids' makeup and everyone looked and felt beautiful. Her prices are very competitive and would absolutely recommend her to any bride!
Brittany was an absolute dream for my bridal makeup and hair!
The trial was amazing and turned out better than the inspiration photos I sent her. She was very flexible and gave me a lot of time in the trial to ensure I was happy with my wedding look.
On the wedding day, Brittany and her assistant were so professional and upbeat! Everyone in my wedding party felt so well taken care of and looked absolutely beautiful when the work was done! My makeup and hair turned out perfectly, and I am so unbelievably happy with how I look in all of my wedding pictures!
Brittany and Shavelle were such a pleasure to work with! All of our makeup looked so amazing, and it lasted the entire day/night, and we had to be outside, in 85-degree weather. We also had so much fun with them! It was an awesome way to start a very long and special day. Brittany is a MUST BOOK, and I will forever recommend her for any occasion, but especially your wedding!
I highly recommend Brittany's hair and makeup services to anyone planning their wedding. I just got married two weeks ago, and Brittany was a major part of making the getting ready process smooth. She was punctual, professional, and most importantly she listened and discussed makeup and hair options that would work best for me and my bridesmaids. I cannot say enough about how talented she is, and she truly made me feel and look my absolute best on my special day. Brittany provided her services to my entire bridal party including the flower girl (just hair), my mother and my mother-in-law. She treated each one of us with care and she took her time to make sure every single person was glammed to perfection! Highly recommend!!
I can't say enough good things, I asked her to make me look like J-lo, not an easy task, but she did it!
I highly recommend working with Brittany! She went above and beyond and over-delivered!
Thank-You Brittany
Brittany is an ARTIST with makeup and hair! Everyone said I looked like a real fairy tale princess at my wedding. From wedding planning to the big day itself, Brittany responds quickly and promptly, and sitting through my hair and makeup was fun! It's also very easy to ask her to change things according to how you want. I definitely recommend using her services for your big day!
I loved working with Brittany on my wedding day! I had hired her for both my mom's and my's makeup for the day. She was attentive, professional, and fun! Both me and my mom are not used to wearing makeup and she was able to accomodate with natural looks that both elevated us and kept us comfortable!
Brittany was wonderful, great communication, extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her assistant, Briana showed up to the hotel on time and went right to work! Not only did she make us look beautiful, she made sure we were comfortable with everything she was doing! Briana was very friendly and a pleasure to work with, she was a calm and accommodating presence on an otherwise crazy day!
Our makeup and hair styles lasted all day (which was rainy) and through a dance filled night!!!! I highly recommend their services!
I am so lucky to have been able to work with Brittany for my trial and wedding! She is very professional, helpful, and overall just an amazing person. During my trial (08/2022), Brittany came to my home and did my makeup/hair. While the hair and makeup trial only took about an hour and a half to two hours, the makeup and hair style lasted ALL DAY! I even took a nap with full hair and makeup and it stayed on, looking flawless.
For the wedding, Brittany arrived on time and was so kind and helpful to everybody. My bridesmaids, mom, and I aren’t big hair/makeup girls but she made each one of us look like enhanced versions of ourselves. We all looked gorgeous! She helped us find hairstyles that we loved and felt comfortable in. Our makeup and hair styles lasted all night and we looked fantastic from the moment she finished with us until we took our hair down/make up off before bed. I couldn’t recommend her more!! Thank you Brittany!!
I want to first start out with I HIGHLY recommend Brittany and her team if you are needing someone to do hair and makeup for your wedding!
Brittany was so professional, attentive and extremely pleasant to work with. Her and her team did A list quality work. Brittany helped with my full bridal glam and I’ve never looked so beautiful. Compliments I was receiving were how I looked like a movie star or belonged on the cover of bridal magazine.
Truly cannot say enough good things about Brittany and how over the moon I was with having her get me ready for my big day.
My trial? amazing. My wedding day? THE BEST. After my trial I went for a massage, Makeup still perfect, hair stayed great. On my wedding day, we made a little change from the plan, came out EVEN BETTER. I had three hours of sleep the night before my wedding, after hair and makeup, I never looked so refreshed or felt so pretty. Brittany and Essence are professional, exceptionally talented, and overall wonderful people. I had an amazing experience with them both, and would recommend them over and over!
Brittany was very attentive and was able to capture the vibe of the wedding perfectly. Her and her team worked efficiently while still giving each bridesmaid the attention and time needed. Would definitely recommend desired beauty by Brittany for your wedding
Brittany and her team was amazing! She always answered my questions when I needed it. Her team did an amazing job on my wedding day. They were super friendly, professional, thorough and put all of their hard work into making my bridal party and myself look spectacular. I am not a makeup person and I never wear makeup, but Brittany really brought out my eyes and made me feel like a princess. She also did an amazing job with my hair. I am doing to recommend her to everyone I know. She is truly the best!
Brittany and her team were amazing! From my trial to the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. Brittany was very responsive to my questions throughout the process. Her team arrived early to setup, and did a great job with hair and makeup from my 14 year old junior bridesmaid to the 80 year old grandmother of the groom. Her staff was very professional and everything was completed in a timely manner. They also were happy to do some touch ups for us before they left. I loved that they could do both glam and subtle/natural beauty, which is just what I had wanted. Thank you, Brittany and the whole team for making us look and feel beautiful!
Brittany and her team were great doing the make up and hair for my girls and myself on my wedding day 🌹. They were on time and well prepared for my big day. I was so happy with the services. She was always very responsive to my texts. I would recommend her and her team 100%!
Brittany was AMAZING! Super friendly, nice, professional, and does wonderful work! I’m a simple girl who never gets dolled up and she knew exactly how to style my hair and makeup. It was a nice natural look that made me feel beautiful! My family and friends raved about how wonderful I looked :)
Brittany and her team are spot on! Brittany and Essence showed up early the morning of to prep and ensure they had enough time to get all six people done. The makeup felt light and dewy, while still looking naturally glam. The hair stayed in all night and looked phenomenal. Their professionalism, poise, and talent speak for itself!
Brittany and her team offered exceptional service all around! We all looked and felt great! All of our hair and makeup lasted all night!!! After my experience I could not imagine using anyone else!
This team is seriously the best. The owner Brittany took all of my edits from the trial and I l was BEYOND thrilled with the results. She was professional, responsive, and just so so kind throughout the whole process. And honestly, she was just so relaxed that it helped me stay calm too (especially the day of). Her team member, Essence, came to help with my girls and she was just as attentive and wonderful. We all felt beautiful and confident with their help and our hair/makeup lasted ALL day/night (and it was HUMID out). Super bonus points: she traveled to me for the day of AND the trial.
Brittany and her artist Essence were amazing to work with! Brittany made to booking process extremely easy! The day they arrive there were punctual and were extremely cautious and sanitary. They both performed a fantastic job and all of the woman in my bridal party. We were all extremely satisfied with how our hair and makeup turned out. I don’t typically wear makeup but Brittany was very informative and educated me along the way. The entire process was very relaxing and we had a great time! Thank you!
10000/10 I was referred to the company by a friend of mine who was also recently married! Being a covid bride the process has been so difficult with all vendors but not with Brittany. Brittany has put me at ease ever since our first interaction! She is extremely communicative and does an amazing job with both hair and makeup! Best part is that he company offered both services!

Hi Stephanie, thank you for those thoughtful words. It is always an absolute pleasure to work with you!
I am in the process of doing my wedding planning when I came across Desired beauty by Brittany. She customized my service to fit all of my wants and needs! She has an artistry eye for perfection and most definitely delivered for my engagement party! Brittany and her team gave me a gorgeous eye look with beautiful champagne colours and natural tones. To compliment the look she threw in complimentary lashes and brought some bubbly so I can sit back and relax during my service. I always had worries and doubts that my make up or hair wasn’t going to look how I envisioned, however, she was able to give me the look requested according to the picture provided with her own twist! I highly recommend Brittany and her team for your wedding needs and any occasions thereafter!! Thank you for helping me feel beautiful on my engagement day, I cannot wait to use your services again for my big day!!!
