Dutchess County Hair & Makeup

for any event you have coming up!! Thank you again so much girls!

ve me specific instructions on how to cut and wash my hair before the day which made all the difference. My hair was beautiful and it held up through out the night.. even through the swing dance I did with my husband where he had to flip me over. Thank you Melissa! I definitely recommend her to anyone. She is the best!

ll do nearly whatever you ask her to do with your hair, she has a great eye for what will look good for you. I primarily chose this team because of Melissa and her ability to do a fantastic job on hair. Tiffany is fantastic at applying makeup and, when given direction, will do exactly what you tell her. She's great at making sure the makeup and all aspects of your face look even and smooth so please know everyone will look pretty. While she doesn't necessarily have the eye for makeup that Melissa has for hair, you truly won't be disappointed with Tiffany. She listens and will essentially do whatever she can to make sure you're happy with the look she gives you. I'm not a makeup connoisseur and am very indecisive so I had hoped for more guidance in figuring out what I wanted, but as I had a couple makeup trials before booking Dutchess County Hairstylist, I came to learn what styles looked good and was able to convey that to Tiffany, which ensured I was very happy with my wedding day makeup because Tiffany knows how to deliver. On my wedding day, Tiffany arrived early and Melissa was only a couple minutes late so we were able to start mostly on time and finished on schedule. Tiffany managed to efficiently and beautifully work ahead of schedule, but Melissa's final product was definitely worth the wait. I will say that if you don't hire them to stick around for reapplication (which I didn't, but they do offer these services for a reasonable fee), be sure to bring extra concealer or foundation. By the reception entrances, a good amount of my foundation had rubbed off my nose and I would've looked for rudolph if I didn't reapply. You won't be disappointed, though, if you book Melissa and Tiffany. They are a great and affordable team and I don't regret my decision at all!

s very set in my ways on what I wanted for my wedding hair and Melissa made my vision come to life. My entire bridal party including my mother were beyond thrilled with how their hair turned out. I can not forget about Tiffany who did an AMAZING job on all the girls makeup. Her and Melissa made my wedding morning stress free. If you are looking for hair and makeup, you can stop looking!! Thank you so much for everything!!!!

ids the day of my wedding in Poughkeepsie. They arrived on time and ready to jump in. They both requested a photo of a hair style and look I was after. During the trial, I gave them both feedback so that we could go from the photos I brought and then adjust to my own preferences that deviated a bit from the photos. They were both very accommodating and patient. Between their talent and flexibility, and my feedback, they created the perfect princess look I was after. They were great with my girls, too! I had each girl bring a photo of their look, and they fashioned hair and makeup that both resembled the photo, but worked with the natural features of each girl. I’m so pleased to offer my praise and highest recommendation to them both. Melissa and Tiffany are both incredibly talented and professional.

went above and beyond and I would recommend her to everyone!

spot on. She met us at the hotel we stayed at the night before and started with our hair at 5am so we would all be ready and at the venue by 10:30am. All six of us had different hair types and she was able to whip everyone's hair into shape. Everyone was thrilled with the way their hair turned out, we all looked beautiful and it stayed looking beautiful all the way until the end of the night. In addition Melissa's assistant was great and was able to do one of my bridesmaids makeup on the spot. The vibe the morning of my wedding was exactly what i was hoping for, both ladies are highly personable and the playlist they used was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better vendor :)

cent value; however, the owner Melissa's lack of professionalism during and after my wedding left a very poor taste in my mouth that I had to share. Melissa insisted on having a photo of what we wanted so she could duplicate it, but she lacked that extra artistic instinct to create looks of her own or to expand on pictures and ideas. My trial went fine, a bit rushed, and nothing more than duplicating my photos. The day of my wedding, my maid of honor was less than pleased with the results of her hair, but was trying to give her more ideas to work with; she was met with rolling eyes, dismissive attitudes and scoffing. This was predominantly directed at me, the bride, on my wedding day, behind my sister's back and it was less than appreciated. It truly made me feel uncomfortable. All this aside, I was not going to write a bad review because I hate doing it; everyone has an off day and I don't want to hurt anyone's way to make a living. Then, following my wedding day, I was sent MULTIPLE text messages every couple days asking me to write a review. It became such an issue that I finally had to explain that I wouldn't give 5 stars and didn't want to write one if it wasn't good. To my surprise, after all the messages, instead of being asked where she could make improvements or what went wrong, I was simply dismissed. I then decided to try to explain to her what happened and why I felt unhappy, and never even got a response. Overall, I would personally not recommend this hairdresser, but I cannot speak to the quality of the makeup artists she works with because the only artist who had a portfolio, was unable to attend on my wedding date. This review is only for the hair. Thank you for your time and best of luck on your big day!

they came to our place and did our hair and makeup on time. I really enjoyed working with them! Thank you so much again for making my day special!

e each girl their own uniquely, beautiful look. They were also incredibly calming and reassuring as time drew nearer for our departure to the venue (and I began to have a bit of a bridezilla freak out!). All in all, it was a great experience working with them. I would absolutely recommend their services to any bride hoping to achieve a great wedding look, while keeping the getting ready part of the day very relaxed and highly enjoyable.

we couldn’t believe how quickly and expertly she was able to create the gorgeous styles that each of our bridal party members chose. Not a single hair was out of place for any of the ladies or long-haired gents throughout the entire evening. It was also very nice to be able to pay through PayPal so that fewer people needed to keep track of cash. We highly recommend Melissa for any occasion.

lley who will capture your hair image you have come to the right place.

diculous contracts up front, and kept me on top of things with regular communication. All my girls loved their hair as well! She worked quickly, and was both kind and professional. Hire her for your wedding you won't regret it!

ry flexible, easy going and totally got my vision. She was great and speedy!!

make my vague ideas into something beautiful. She was also incredibly accommodating, traveling early to the hotel and willing to help fit a floral piece into my look last minute. I loved my braided updo and it stayed in place all day! She and Tiffany did an amazing job with all of my bridesmaids’ looks, and I would highly recommend Melissa to any bride! Thank you!!

cerns and the care she took to make me feel like a princess on my weding day. the vision I had was made a reality and i can't thank her enough!

grateful and happy that we had Melissa for our hair, and will recommend her to everyone. Melissa - thank you for making our day extra special!

ity for me- But better! - and in a timely manner. My hair held all night and I did not stop dancing. I received so many compliments on my hair. Thank you, Melissa!
