This beauty team is unbeatable. Courtney and Tay are so easy going, listen to what you want, work efficiently together, and are so incredibly talented. During my trial I easily clicked with the both of them which was so great because when I woke up day of worrying how everything would go, I was so happy they were the first vendor I would see because of their fun energy and the way they put you at ease. I wanted a natural look for my makeup and wow Courtney made me feel like myself but enhanced the most beautiful parts of me! For my hair, this is one of my favorite features of myself so I wanted it to be fantastic and Tay really pulled it off!! The trial was incredible and day of she said what about also doing some Hollywood curls? I trusted her completely and it totally elevated my look! She really knows hair well and can tell what will look best with the type of hair you have. My sister in law has hair that just does not want to hold a curl, and when she told Tay this she was able to make my sister’s curls last all day! Which didn’t even happen during her own wedding day! I have not yet seen a better team than them. These ladies really made me feel and look like a truly beautiful bride, make sure to check them out:)
I worked with Tay and Courtney for my wedding. Tay has incredible communication skills. I had my trial > 1 year prior to my wedding. I provided feedback in what I wanted for my big day. Tay and Courtney ensured that what I wanted for hair & makeup, my needs would be met on the big day-- AND THEY WERE! This dou did an incredible Job! Sammy did my hair and Courtney did my makeup. I have never felt so pretty but also totally myself on my wedding day! It was absolutely perfect!!! I had a huge wedding party (12) and also included my aunts, and MOB/MOG (Total of 20 people). Tay & Courtney were able to accommodate my huge party and getting ready on the big day was stress-free & fun ! I would highly recommend TJ Artistry / CT Beauty for any wedding! They did an incredible job!
Courtney and the entire team were unbelievable. With many additions and a big bridal party, everyone was so willing to go with the flow and created such a positive environment for getting ready! Can't wait to work with Courtney and the team again soon!!
We hired Tay for the bridal party hair and I would do it again 100x over. Tay was easy to talk to, fit right in with our group, and helped the getting ready party be 'chill' and flawless. Our girls all looked so beautiful, even through the windy day. Tay took everyone's visions and brought them to life with their hairdos and was easy to work with and extremely communicative. Thank you, Tay!
Courtney and Taylor were so amazing to work with. They met with me multiple times prior to my event (working with my limited availability) for hair/makeup trials as we worked to find “the look” for my big day. On the day of my wedding, they were prompt, prepared, and made sure all my girlfriends looked flawless and felt confident. I felt stunning. They work really well together and bring positive energy with them wherever they go!
Simply amazing!!! They not only made me feel amazing on my wedding day but all of my ladies!!!! I would recommend them to EVERYONE!!!
Tay & Courtney made our wedding morning so enjoyable and made all of us look gorgeous! They delivered on creating hairstyles for each of us & a beautiful, natural look for our makeup. They make a PERFECT team!
Courtney and Taylor were so amazing and accommodating for my girls and me! They took the time to listen to my vision and prioritize how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. They arrived on location bright and early with absolutely everything needed to have a relaxed and easy morning of getting ready. And we all loved the way our hair and makeup turned out. So thankful they were apart of our wedding day!
Absolutely amazing! Taylor and Courtney are the dynamic duo! They really made me feel comfortable and made everything less hectic the day of my wedding. My hair and makeup made me feel so confident and it came out amazing!! So did all the other girls! Courtney really took the time to see what each person wanted for makeup and made it happen!! Taylor made everyone's hair look amazing and each one was a little different in their own way.
Overall, both of these ladies have incredible talent, and are incredible!!! They made my wedding day so special.
The absolute best! Always communicated clearly and in a timely fashion and were super understanding about all things wedding stress! On the day of the wedding, they were AMAZING! They absolutely killed the hair and makeup not just on myself but my mother and all my bridesmaids including my junior bridesmaids! I cannot stress enough that these ladies should be your go-to! They made my day so stress-free!
What a wonderful duo! Taylor and Courtney were absolutely phenomenal to work with and I could not have asked for a better pair to help with my hair and makeup needs! We did a couple hair trials because I couldn't decide what I wanted, and she helped me each time! On the day of, we had a last minute make up addition and Courtney made the time to fit them in which was greatly appreciated! They made the day run smoothly, all the girls felt so comfortable with them, and as the bride I felt so confident in my hair and make up all night long! Such wonderful people doing wonderful work!
Taylor and Courtney were amazing to work with. When I first met them both for my bridal trial they made me feel at ease. They both work so well together and you can tell they love what they do. The two of them completed a total of 10 people (8 hair and makeup and 2 just makeup) on my wedding day in record time. Everyone looked beautiful and was so happy with their work. I can not recommend them enough!
My experience with Courtney was 100% perfect from start to finish. The trial was excellent and made me feel comfortable and confident. My makeup look was better than I could have imagined, and she was so helpful with suggestions and information about the makeup so I knew what was going on the whole time. It lasted the entire day through all the happy tears, eating, drinking, no problem! The rest of my bridesmaids (and both mothers!) looked gorgeous and left feeling super great about themselves. I will recommend Courtney & her team to anyone and everyone!
I have used Gvzel & Co many times now! From my own wedding party to annual formal events and my daughter’s prom! Every single time they are fabulous! I am so confident in their work I now say “I trust you whatever you think is fine!”. They haven’t let me down yet. They are always on time, always ready with an honest opinion, and always fun to work with! You won’t be disappointed!
Courtney and Taylor make and amazing team!! They are so warm and friendly. They also do incredible hair and makeup. I felt like I was in full glam while still being able to recognize myself, which is sometimes rare when applying that much makeup. Both hair and makeup lasted all night, even in the sweltering heat. 10/10
Courtney was such a pleasure to work with. After having too heavy of make up as a bridesmaid in the past, I asked Courtney to keep my wedding day look as natural as possible, and she absolutely nailed it. She elevated my everyday look above and beyond my expectations. Courtney was also fun to talk with as we got ready; all of my bridesmaid loved chatting with her. I cannot recommend Courtney enough!
Taylor was the absolute best! She was so open and friendly during the whole process, from booking to the big day. She did my hair as well as all three of my bridesmaids and my mom and everyone was SO thrilled with how their styles came out, they were talking about it all day. I had made a small change to what I wanted since we had done our trial and she didn't even blink an eye and gave me exactly what I was imagining, I truly felt so beautiful all day. And she was so fun to have in the house with us while we were getting ready! Would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
Incredibly talented & wonderful to work with!
I loved working with Courtney and Tay! I did a make-up/hair trial with them, and both that and my wedding day hair/make-up came out amazing! They both really have a gift for subtle, natural-looking make-up that enhances your natural beauty. In addition, both Courtney and Tay are so positive and fun to work with. Despite wedding planning being a stressful process, every interaction I had with them was smooth and stress-free. They were especially patient with every single person in my bridal party, and each of their individual needs/preferences. I would highly recommend TJ artistry!
I can’t recommend Taylor and Courtney enough! I came to them with very little vision of what I wanted as the bride, but they immediately made me feel comfortable and gave me beautiful suggestions based off what I was comfortable with and what I thought I wanted during the trial. Upon the day of the wedding, they were extremely reassuring and easy going when I decided to change up my hairstyle completely last minute and I couldn’t have loved the outcome more. It was perfect. They were so accommodating to incorporate fresh floral accents in my hair that my florist had made for both my bridesmaids and myself. Taylor and Courtney’s teamwork together is absolutely one of a kind with incredible communication and efficiency while both working together on one person, and they treat each other with the utmost respect. They finished my bridal party, mothers, and myself in record time with plenty of time to take pictures during and after getting ready. And I loved the little drawstring bag emergency kit they give you for the day full of things to help keep my make up and hair up and fresh. Absolutely loved them!
If you want absolute professionalism, fun and relaxed service then Taylor and Courtney are your answer! I worked with them for my daughters wedding and they were the absolute best, not only was all the hair and makeup stunning but they were so much fun the morning of the wedding! Thank you Taylor, Courtney and Barbara for phenomenal hair and makeup and making us all feel and look gorgeous!!!
I'm not even sure how to encompass how incredible Tay and Courtney are - they not only made me and my bridal party feel stunning on my wedding day but they added so much fun to the day and most importantly made me feel like MYSELF which was so so essential for me. They are true professionals - experts at what they do no matter the hair type, skin type, wish or desire. They are magicians and listen deeply to what you want and need. Not only that but they roll with the punches.
I am immunocompromised and Tay and Courtney were so kind to mask for my trial and then test the day of the wedding to make sure I felt comfortable.They showed up my wedding day with an awesome playlist in hand to get us all in the mood for the day - unfortunately I was sick and so getting IV fluids. For Tay and Courtney this was no issue at all and they worked around the IV and made sure I looked much better than I felt in the moment! They had the timing down perfectly too - expertly moving through each bridesmaid and mother with plenty of time leftover for touchups and throughout were just so kind and wonderful.
If you're looking for genuinely lovely humans who are experts in their craft and will make you feel like the very best version of you on your wedding day look no further than TJARTISTRY!
Courtney and Taylor are amazing and super talented. They were timely, friendly, and the prices are great. I would highly recommend them for any hair & makeup needs.
I highly recommend these 2 for hair and make-up for any wedding or special event. They were so easygoing. Showed up on time with everything needed, smiles, and great attitudes. They had only had a practice run with the bride. As mother of the bride, I told them I wanted to look lovely but with a "natural" look. I gave them the creative license to do what they thought best and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the outcome.
Absolutely incredible, I truly wish I could given them 500 stars! Tay and Courtney were so easy to work with, organized, fun, and of course AMAZING at what they do. I appreciated their humor, their expertise, their flexibility and their overall dedication to making sure every single person they were working with was happy with their results. Bridesmaid changed her mind about a hairstyle after the fact? No problem! Tay covered it. I had a burn on my arm that needed concealing? Courtney was ON IT! I honestly wish to hang out with these two in real life, but for now I am just grateful I got to work with them for my wedding!
Courtney did an amazing job on all of our makeup! She nailed makeup on every skin type, including mature skin for the MOB and MOG. My bridesmaids were absolutely glowing and I have never seen my skin look so perfect or my eyes pop like they did on our wedding day. 1000% recommend
If you need a makeup artist look no further. Courtney was such a pleasure to have on my wedding day. I went to her having absolutely no idea what I wanted for my makeup trial she killed it and made sure I was happy before I left. On the wedding day I decided to see if she could just change my eyeshadow. She goes, “absolutely! I just bought this brand new palette with the colors on it.” I could go on forever about how sweet and down to earth she is but you’ll hopefully find out for yourself. My makeup never smudged and I honestly felt more beautiful. Thank you again for everything Courtney! Don’t ever change and I’ll definitely be in touch if I need my makeup done in the future.
Taylor is amazing! She did the best job on me and my bridesmaids and is so much fun to work with. I could not be happier with everything, highly recommend!
Tay did my makeup for my recent engagement photo shoot! She listened to all of my requests and took my inspiration and brought it to life. She did such an amazing job of elevating my look. I was so happy to still look like “myself” but with waaaaaayyyyy better makeup than I could ever do myself!
Cannot recommend enough! Tay was so fun to work with and did a beautiful job on my hair and makeup for an engagement party. She took the time to talk with me about ideas and she made me feel confident and beautiful. 10/10!
I cannot recommend Taylor Jo Artistry enough! Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. The wedding planning process was really stressful for me (so many postponements and setbacks!) and she was just so flexible and made things so easy for me leading up to the big day. And she and Courtney just did an incredible job the day of the wedding. The whole bridal party just raved about the experience. Just the kindest, most talented ladies you could ask to help make you feel special on your big day. Can’t thank them both enough for being a part of it!
I worked with Gvzel & Co. for both hair and make up for me and my 7 bridesmaids on my wedding day and was so happy with this decision. Courtney and Taylor were absolutely incredible to work with. They were so accommodating to all of our needs and personal preferences. I can’t say enough about both their dispositions and the quality of their work. All of my bridesmaids and I enjoyed getting ready with them and were all thrilled with the results. As the bride I started the day with some jitters, but getting ready with this team felt like getting ready with friends and helped me relax. They completely understood what I was looking for and I truly felt beautiful on my wedding day. My request for natural makeup was met and exceeded my expectations. I had changed my mind about my hair between my trial and my wedding day and Taylor completely understood my new vision and made it come true. My bridesmaids all had different hair types and skin tones and were so happy with their experience and the results. I highly recommend Gvzel & Co for anyone looking to enjoy both the experience of getting ready for their big day and the results.
The level of service and detail that Courtney and her team put forth on wedding day was wonderful! Courtney and Rebecca were very prompt, organized, and ready to go the morning of for services to be done on 8 people, including myself. My bridesmaids and mom’s were super impressed with the staying power of the makeup and hair styles that were created. Courtney was also very flexible and considerate of one of my bridesmaid’s allergies to specific makeup fragrance , making sure she felt comfortable. As for my makeup, Courtney nailed the whole look perfectly after I showed her a picture of what I was going for. I received many compliments the whole night on my hair and makeup and how beautiful the entire bridal party looked! I would highly recommend Gvzel and Co for anyone who is looking for a great hair and makeup service team that delivers beautiful results!
I'm so happy I booked Taylor for my wedding! She did an amazing job on mine and my sisters hair, I couldn't have been happier with the result. Not only is she great with hair, but she's such a pleasure to work with. She's so kind and easy to talk to and very professional. She made us feel so uncomfortable and ensured that we looked and felt our best! Great personalized service, I highly recommend!
Taylor did an excellent job with everything she did. I only needed services for myself, and she was very flexible with the plans I had for our wedding day. I really appreciated how she listened to my different ideas, especially since I wanted a half-up, half-down look for my engagement photoshoot and an updo for my wedding. I was able to use our trial session as a pre-engagement photoshoot make-up session, and she was able to trial both the wedding look and the engagement look right before we had to leave to meet our photographer. I went with a more natural look for my make-up for the engagement photoshoot, which was beautiful on its own, though I realized I liked more color and "pop" for my wedding photos. I requested if she could use brighter pinks for my wedding look. Taylor went and bought brand new makeup so that I could pick the pinks that I wanted. I really appreciated her enthusiasm and friendliness throughout our interactions, and that she was willing to do hair/make-up styles that were outside her usual to satisfy her clients. I loved how Taylor was able to work with me to achieve the looks I wanted. People told me I looked radiant, stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, and more! I truly felt all of those things because of Taylor, which were so fitting for the perfect day.
They did a fantastic job! My makeup and hair looked good until the end of the day, which is really impressive considering it was 92 degrees on my wedding day, my hair is really curly and I wore it straight, despite the humidity. I have never felt more beautiful. They were so easy to work with and really professional. I’d work with them again in a heartbeat!
Taylor did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup! From the hair and makeup trial she listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed it on the big day. She was also kind, positive, and calming which is important on your wedding day when stresses are high. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family or friends in the future. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Thank you Taylor for making me gorgeous on my wedding day!!!
My bridal party and I booked Gvzel & Co. to do our hair and makeup for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the end result. I booked a hair and makeup trial a few months before the wedding and thought they did a beautiful job. They delivered on site hair & makeup and were prompt, prepared, and excited! I was even happier with how my hair/makeup came out on my wedding day and received so many compliments. My bridesmaids and I never felt so beautiful. They are truly artists who are so great at what they do. They asked and listened to find out what I envisioned and delivered! Courtney & Taylor are such a great team of hair and makeup artists who work so well together and attend to detail to be sure you feel beautiful. The girls and I had fun along the way and were so happy to have them. I highly recommend Gvzel & Co.!
I first saw Courtney's amazing work at my friend's wedding in 2019, and I knew I needed to hire her for my own wedding. She and her partner, Taylor (hair) were the absolute perfect duo for my group and we couldn't have been happier with how our hair and makeup came out on my big day. They both have such a laid back and calming presence, which is really important on your wedding day! They could have doubled as my therapists when pre-wedding jitters and anxiety started to kick in LOL :) Despite not being able to do a trial with them, my makeup and hair came out even better than I could have imagined. Courtney and her team are highly professional, kind, fun, and affordable! I highly recommend them.
The vendor was great! It was my 1st time getting my make-up done so I was a little weary. She was confident which made it easier for me to let her do whatever she wanted w/my hair and make-up. Needless to say, she made me look the way a new bride is supposed to look on her wedding day. Beautiful!!
Courtney & Taylor saved the day! I was in a last-minute pinch due to COVID impacting my original hair & makeup vendor and these ladies were luckily available! I was able to do a trial with them the week before the wedding and they did an absolutely beautiful job. Wedding day they tackled the whole crew and everyone was so happy with the final results. They were a blast to work with and do an outstanding job.
Gvzel & Co has been our go to for years for hair and make up. Courtney does a beautiful job time. We trust her with all our special events.
Courtney is a amazing makeup artist! definitely recommend for anyone having a wedding!
Gvzel & Co came to help my intimate group get ready for an event. Let me start by saying finding hair and makeup has been tough enough due to COVID-19. Courtney and her team were so cooperative and their cleanliness was impeccable. I have only had my makeup done a hand full of times and she made me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. My group looked amazing! I would recommend them to anyone needing hair and makeup services!
Easy to work with. Friendly understanding of what was invisioned. Price point was great. Makeup was flawless and not overdone. They did a fantastic job and would recommend to anyone looking for a great wedding stylist.
Courtney traveled to my location to do my makeup for a black tie event on one of the coldest winter nights in 2019.
She arrived on time, had a beautiful setup and was extremely sanitary. I was nervous about my makeup withstanding the night between the weather (18 degrees) and hours of dancing /sweating. Courtney assured and reassured me that my makeup would stay put. (It did! Even for the icy, windy walk to the parking garage)
I have very sensitive, fair skin and tend to either look washed out or painted when I have my makeup professionally done. Courtney worked with me to create a look I loved, while suggesting the most complimentary colors for my skin tone. I felt so confident and beautiful.
Courtney helped ease my anxiety and made me look and feel so gorgeous in such a quick amount of time. My makeup was flawless and didn’t budge throughout the event or the after party.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist that will make you look incredible and help ease your mind, Courtney at Gvzel & Co. is my number one suggestion. I look forward to working with her again.
Taylor did an amazing job! We would definitely recommend Taylor Jo Artistry for any wedding or event!!

Taylor did my bridal hair and make-up for our extremely small pandemic wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better or more talented human! With no family in attendance (they live on the other side of the country), Taylor not only did an amazing job on my hair and make-up, but was so kind and warm and supportive I felt like I had family there. I can’t wait to have her do my hair and make-up again in a year (!) for our extremely delayed reception.
I cannot say enough good things about Taylor Jo Artistry! Taylor is amazing at what she does, and she cares about how you feel when she’s done. She wants you to love her work as much as she wants you to feel beautiful with it. She did my make up for my engagement photos, as well as my wedding. Each time I left her chair feeling beautiful. All of my bridesmaids loved Taylor’s work as well, and she was so patient with each and everyone. Doing touch ups for everyone at different points of the day just to make sure everyone loved how they looked. Bottom line, Taylor is amazing ! She will make your wedding day that much better!
I'm usually not a review person, but I was so impressed with Taylor. Even the girls in the group who were impossible to please (there's always one!) felt incredible once Taylor was done with them. We all know a tough bridesmaid is that last thing a bride needs to deal with on her wedding day and it was like Taylor stopped any issues before they even arose because she was so organized and professional but with the friendliest and most down to earth attitude. Anyone who can make the morning flow this smoothly deserves a 5 star review in my book and I know exactly who I'm calling when it's my own wedding. No stress, no drama - just fabulous hair and makeup that you'll spend your whole life trying to replicate yourself.
Oh happy day! As the mother of the bride, I was so nervous for the morning of the wedding but WOW did Courtney and Taylor wipe away any worries I had the moment that they walked in! It was immediately like they were part of the crew. Even the fussiest of the girls loved her look. It was like hiring an old friend who knew us each well to do the hair and make up. Each girl ended up with a look that was uniquely their own, but went with the wedding and my daughter's vision perfectly. Taylor and Courtney were both so calm and friendly, how could I worry. Save yourself some worrying, too, and hire these ladies! Again - WOW!
Courtney did my makeup for a wedding and I couldn’t be happier. She created such a flawless, natural look for me and was so fun and personable. I have combination skin, dry and oily, and the airbrush covered all my flaws and lasted far beyond what any other makeup has ever lasted. I highly recommend Gvzel & Co for any upcoming events requiring hair and makeup services. I will absolutely be calling them for all my future events!
Courtney & Courtney were absolutely amazing! Not only were they awesome girls to chat with, but all seven girls including me, the bride, were extremely happy with their hair and makeup. Guests complimented us throughout the night, and the makeup barely wavered even after hours of dancing (and sweating). I am so happy I chose Gvzel & co. and would recommend them to anyone looking for incredible hair and/or makeup artists. They both listened to what each girl wanted, and were able to achieve all of the specific looks. Also, the estimated timeline they gave me was spot on so there was zero worry or stress about running late, even if someone wanted a small change after. These girls were incredible and traveled almost two hours for my event. Highly recommend!!
Courtney and her team were amazing on my wedding day! We had many people (about 12) to get styled and her team was super efficient and everyone looked beautiful. She truly listened to me and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend!
Courtney and her team were amazing! Everyone was polite, easy to work with and all did an amazing job. My girls and I all looked flawless the day of my wedding. I can’t say enough great things about this team. Definitely book them!
Courtney gave me the exact look I was going for! She's super easy to work with whether you want something super dramatic or more on the natural side. It was my first time getting air brushed and I was super impressed with the final outcome!
I could not have been happier with Taylor and Courtney! I knew from the hair and makeup trial that I wanted to have them be a part of my wedding day. They were so sweet, so down to earth, and wanted to make sure everything looked perfect- even just for the trial. My happiness was their main concern. Taylor was great with keeping in touch regarding the wedding day timeline, and was more than accommodating when it needed to be tweaked a little the day of the wedding. My matron of honor, mother in-law, and my mother were thrilled with the services. I looked beautiful, and felt so confident with my hair and makeup. I would 100 times over choose Taylor and Courtney!
I am so grateful for Courtney, owner of Gvzel & Co. and Taylor they were absolutely amazing. I got married on 8/16/19 and they were perfect, prompted, efficient and super sweet throughout the whole process. Including myself I had 4 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and my 3 year old flower girl, they were attentive and accommodating with each of them and their specific needs (also amazing with my 3 year old niece who does not like her hair done 😊). I would recommend them 100%! If you are looking for a makeup artist for your special occasion, look no further!
Taylor was so wonderful and is so talented. Their were a total of 11 girls needing makeup and I must say that the morning went by so quickly and smoothly. I was beyond happy with how beautiful Taylor made me look - she truly captured my idea of what I should look like on my big day. To top it off, my girls looked absolutely gorgeous and were so happy with how they looked. Taylor is truly an amazing makeup artist! I highly recommend her!
Courtney was absolutely amazing and took the time to make sure my hair and makeup were perfect for my bridal shower! It came out absolutely perfect!
Courtney and her team were everything I could have imagined! The makeup for my wedding was perfect, and all my bridesmaids we’re gushing over their makeup. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. :)
Words cannot explain how amazing Taylor is at what she does. Even the photos do not totally do her work justice. I have had my hair and makeup done by Taylor on multiple occasions and never before have I had the pleasure of working with someone time and again with such passion, zeal and enthusiasm for their craft. The girl oozes creativity and love for what she does. From casual events to weddings and galas, she has somehow found the perfect balance for all occasions. She pumped me up for the big exciting events and calmed me down before the ones I was nervous for. Her personality and charm are endearing, her enthusiasm contagious, and her talent undeniable. Not only is Taylor amazing, but so are the people she works with. They always create a cohesive, natural but professional look and somehow make it unique to each girl and event but keep it cohesive and distinctly Talyor's vision. I can say with great confidence, that I will never be fully satisfied with another hair and makeup professional again, my experience with Taylor Jo Artistry has been too flawless. Taylor is unbelievable. Hire her. You will not regret it.
Courtney & Courtney were incredible!! I have never felt so beautiful!! They worked quickly, and were both very skilled. I appreciated how flexible they were too with our last minute add ons/requests. I was amazed that with all of my crying, my makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night. Also, my skin is super sensitive (I usually use all hypoallergenic skincare products) and I wasn't itchy at all! Thank you!!
I highly recommend Gvzel & Co. for your wedding! I can’t say enough about Courtney. There are so many things you stress about the day of your wedding, including wanting to look perfect. There was absolutely no stress with Courtney, she was so relaxed, was on time the day of the wedding and was flexible when one of my bridesmaids wanted her makeup done and it wasn’t planned. To say she made me feel beautiful is an understatement! She listened to exactly what I wanted and I never had to touch up! It lasted all day, was lightweight and comfortable. It was like I wasn’t wearing anything! I wish I could have Courtney do my makeup everyday! If you are getting married, having Courtney do your makeup is a must!
Courtney and her team are so amazingly talented. From beginning to end Courtney was able to make my makeup visions a reality. She took ito consideration my skin type, type of look, etc and really made me feel comfortable and confident. She was so accommodating and helpful with everything and my entire bridal party. I received so many compliments from guests, friends and my bridal party loved their make up so much, one even copied the look for her own wedding. I highly recommend Courtney and her team. You can’t go wrong!
I used Gvzel & Co. to have my make-up done for homecoming! I am so happy with how my face came out. She went for the wow-factor on my eyes to make them really pop, while keeping the rest of my face very natural looking with the airbrush. I love that I made a decision to get my make-up done by a true professional. Thank you so much Courtney!! 💕
I am extremely happy with my decision to hire Gvzel & Co. for my wedding day. From the beginning of the planning process when I first started talking with Courtney, she made me feel so comfortable with her knowledge and expertise of on-site wedding make-up. Once I had my trial, I knew that she was the right choice. She was patient and gave me several color options. Any questions that I had, she was always very quick to respond via e-mail. On my wedding day, she was great with all of the bridal party. My make-up "stood the test of time", between happy tears, hugs from family and friends, and dancing, my face still looked wedding-day ready, even at midnight. Courtney and her team are true professionals!
I highly recommend Gvzel & Co! Courtney and Taylor were spectacular and everyone's makeup and hair looked beautiful! They were both so professional and sweet! I wish I could do it all over again! Thanks Courtney and team for such a great experience you guys rock! 😊
Not only did our hair and makeup come out amazing . Courtney was very professional and open to ideas about what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like . I didn’t feel rushed , she took her time and my hair and makeup lasted all night long . I nevver wear makeup and wanted something not too bold , she did EXACTLY what I wanted ! I would recommend her 100%!
Courtney and Taylor were amazing! I loved my makeup! Courtney really knows what she’s doing and gave me exactly the look I wanted. My makeup lasted and looked great all day and night and the lashes were intact until I took them off myself the next morning ;) I HIGHLY recommend Gvzel and Co for wedding makeup and hair! Awesome work, girls!
Amazing makeup skills and super friendly personality. Easy to talk to.
Taylor came to my home to do hair & make-up for my daughter and I as we were attending a wedding later that day. She was prompt and professional, did what we asked but also made some great suggestions. My daughter’s updo was absolutely beautiful! Taylor is a lovely gal who made our “glam sesh” a lot of fun.
Courtney is a true talent. She made me and all my bridesmaids feel beautiful on my wedding day. The makeup lasted all day and through all the happy tears! She is my first choice for any future events! Thank you Courtney!
Courtney and her team are spectacular! I wish I had more events so I could use them over and over again. The makeup and hair of every single person involved looked incredible. They were wonderful about listening to our wants/needs and making it a reality. Courtney and Taylor are professional, caring, and fun! Their presence allowed me to enjoy the morning and bask in the excitement of getting married without a worry in the world.
I was so happy with my make up and hair results for my daughters wedding that I felt like I was the one getting married. Gzvel & Co were so professional and you could tell they take pride in their work. I’ve never received as many compliments as I did that day. I would highly recommend them to enhance your beauty on your special day!
Taylor did my makeup for my best friend's wedding and I knew I had to hire herfor my own. I had her do my entire wedding party and all the girls loved how they looked. I could not be happier with the way my makeup came out the day of my wedding. Taylor is professional and a pleasure to work with.
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago, I decided I wanted to try a new look before I lost all of my hair from the chemo treatments. I wanted something bold and beautiful! Without hesitation, Taylor offered her time, her talent and her positive energy to help uplift me! I went from long, conservative, dark hair to short, sassy blonde hair and it came out gorgeous! I loved it! She provided me with a significant glimpse of happiness through a really tough time and that's hard to beat! If you are looking for a hair and makeup artist for your special day or event, please consider Taylor and her team! She is an amazing artist and such a sweet soul! You will not be disappointed!
What can I say! But what a great experience I had having Taylor do my bridal party and myself on my big day! I’m not one who is really big on wearing makeup so I was very hesitant. However, after Taylor came to my house and did my trial I felt so natural and confident. My hairdresser who I’ve been a client of for 15 years said Taylor was so professional and timely she would work with her anytime.Everything ran so smoothly the morning of the wedding. My sister was so impressed she actually hired her to do my nieces makeup for her prom. (Like me not a lot of experience with applying makeup) Looking back at all my photos all the girls look amazing. If you’re looking for one less thing to stress about get Taylor she’s your girl!!!
Taylor is amazing! I am so happy she was available for my wedding day! Not only is she professional, but she has the unique ability to listen to her clients wishes and then make them come true. I used her for my entire bridal party and we all loved the outcome. She comes highly recommended.
I was so excited to work with Courtney and I literally couldn't have been happier with the work she and Taylor did on my wedding day! My hair and makeup were absolutely perfect and when she says it is waterproof, believe me it is! I jumped in the ocean after the reception and my makeup was still perfect for the rest of the night!!! I loved the way I looked, my hair was just as I wanted it to look with fresh flowers, and every one in my bridal party looked and felt amazing. Courtney and Taylor also took a journey to get to our wedding on a private island and they were super flexible. I would highly highly highly recommend Gvzel & Co for you wedding!
I can not say enough wonderful things about Gvzel & Co.. I worked with Courtney as my makeup artist on my wedding day, and have continued using her for special events that pop up. She is professional, has an incredible knowledge of her craft and is a joy to work with. Not being a makeup aficionado myself, I leave my final look up to Courtney and I always leave feeling beautiful. I have referred multiple friends and family to her over the years, and I always receive calls about how wonderful she was to work with. I couldn’t imagine attending an event without first calling Gvzel & Co.. Thank you for being the best!
Courtney and the team at Gvzel & Co. did it again! I used Courtney for my wedding back in 2013 as she was starting her business, and I had absolute faith in her amazing abilities. Since then, I have used Courtney for various events. I recently went to the "Best of RI" awards night with my co-workers and wanted to look my best for a night out. Courtney took excellent care of me, and made me feel confident. If I could own my own airbrush machine, I would! It is so light and natural looking, but it gives you the EXACT look that you want for a nice event, and of course on your wedding day. If there was more than a 5 star review, she would get it!
Courtney exceeded our expectations!
She did an amazing job on my daughter's hair and makeup for her birthday. We trust her for all our special occasions. I highly recommend Gvzel & Co!
I recently had my hair and makeup done for my engagement photos by Courtney. She was so professional and kind. She made me feel beautiful with such a natural look and it was everything I asked for. I would recommend her again and again and have booked her for my wedding with the upmost confidence! I can't wait for the big day and for Courtney to make me feel beautiful once again !
Courtney, Courtney, and Taylor were amazing! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and it was largely due to these ladies! There were 10 of us getting our hair and make-up done before the wedding. With that many ladies you would think that it would be frantic and chaotic, but it was the complete opposite. Courtney, Courtney, and Taylor were calm and productive making for a stress free and fun morning. They had all 10 of us looking gorgeous ahead of schedule! Six months later I still have people telling me how great my make-up and hair looked! I can't thank them enough for making me feel so beautiful that day!
Courtney did an amazing job on my wedding day! My matron of honor and I both had our make up done and we could not have been anymore happy than we were. When I first met Courtney for my trial, I was not sure what I wanted done for my makeup, Courtney was able to give me exactly what I was looking for with only a couple questions.
If i could give them more Stars I would!! Courtney was absolutely amazing. As a licensed cosmetologist myself with a background in makeup, I am extremely particular about how I like my makeup. I would be so disappointed anywhere else I would go. I almost opted to do my own makeup, but then I magically found Courtney. THANK GOD I did ...I've never been happier with my hair and makeup in my life . Courtney is very patient and caring and listened to everything I wanted and knocked it out of the park!!. I will remember that day for the rest of my life how beautiful I felt and looked and I owe it all to you guys.. thank you sooo much.
Courtney and her team from Gzvel & Co were amazing. They were so flexible and easy going with me when I wanted to change my hair style 2 times before the wedding and once again on the day of :)
Not only that, but they were SO accommodating with my very large bridal party. I had about 10 bridesmaids and 3 flower girls in the wedding, and the whole morning of hair and make up went by flawlessly. They are so well organized and truly great at what they do.
All of the girls looked amazing and were so happy with the way the hair and make up looked that day.
Thank you again Courtney and Taylor for making the day fantastic!
Being a bride is magical, nerveracking, and very stressful. As a bride it is your duty to worry about every little detail from cakes, to games, to foods and favors; when your a bride everything matters. To me all those essetials seemed frivolous once the actual big day approached. To me I wanted to walk down the isle and astound my groom as soon as he saw me. Courtney made this happen. She not only made me feel beautiful by getting the perfect shade of smokey eye to highlight my green eyes, but she calmed me down. There is a certain magic that Courtney presents when she applies makeup and does hair. She has a way of talking, joking, making personal connections that seems to calm down the craziness that comes with being a bride. It was so releaving having someone who cares how beautiful you look and feel just as much as you when you walk down that isle. Not only did Courtney ace our wedding day makeup and hair (me my maid of honor and bridesmaid) but her trial was just as perfect. She uses the best products, is extremly professional and hygienic with new brushes with every application, and her neatness and efficiency is outstanding. As many of you brides know, it can get very messy in the bridal quarters, but Courtney kept everything neat and had things cleaned up even before she finished her last lady! She is simply impressive, talented, and overall just a joyful person to have around you on your wedding day. I highly recommend Courtney for hair and makeup for any occasion, but especially on the most important day of your life!
