I cannot say enough good things about Melissa! Truly so grateful to have met her. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and I have literally never looked better. She brought out my best features in such a natural and seamless way, I looked like the absolute best version of myself. I’ve always avoided getting my makeup done for special occasions because so many makeup artists have made me look cakey and not like myself at all, so I opted out and just did my makeup myself. Mel was a godsend and she’s the only person I trust fully. Not to mention her gentle and loving energy that makes me feel so safe and seen. She really listens to what you want and doesn’t stop until she makes sure you’re happy. I’m grateful that we now continue to be in touch for my hair cuts and styles as well as makeup for important events, and I’ve sent all my friends to her, everyone loves her. One of my favorite things is how safe she makes everyone feel, coming from friends who sometimes have a hard time expressing themselves for fear of “inconveniencing” others. Thank you Mel!! You’re the best <3

Melissa provides EXCEPTIONAL communication, in every way. Her ability to hear the client and create a beautiful masterpiece is unparalleled.
I’ve used countless makeup artists over the years, and I continue to use Melissa for all life events!
The magical aura she brings to the wedding prep is so peaceful and positive, she’s a joy to have on your big day!
The initial consult is intimate, personal, and thorough, so she can achieve the perfect look for the bride and there are no surprises, misunderstandings, or undesirable outcomes. It’s this meticulousness that sets her work apart.
She is able to create *any* look, which is remarkable!!!
As I’ve said, I’ve used her beyond just weddings!
She can do anything from a soft glam to a full beat with effortless ease. She can create Hollywood glamour waves or a sophisticated hair design. Whatever you want. Her ability to create epic hair is just something out of this world. She’s done a Vikings -style braided look (hair was down) on me that I still can’t believe was accomplished with my whack hair 😂.
Basically there is nothing Melissa can’t do to actualize yoir wedding dreams. She did a very beautiful classic look on my best friend for her wedding, too (and mine as bridesmaid!) that was just so light and fresh for a wedding. That’s what the bride wanted and the look was perfection. I prefer a full-on glam, and she can whip that out without hesitation.
Basically there is no one I recommend more for weddings. Photoshoots, too, she is a must! A must! You’ll see what I mean when you book her! Excited for you!! Happy wedding planning!!!!!! Xoxo

Melissa Bedi is an exceptional talent when it comes to anything makeup/hair/fashion. Further, she is incredibly professional, thoughtful and detail oriented. I was lucky enough to have her do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She really spent the time going over my vision, concerns and desires for my special day. As a result, everything was executed flawlessly and I could not have been happier with her work. She also stayed with me throughout the day/evening to do touchups and make sure I was feeling confident for the entirety of my event. As an added bonus, when she was not doing makeup/hair, she was sweet enough to take candid behind the scene photos. As such, she is thoughtful, dedicated and a complete joy to have by your side. All in all, she is truly a gift to women who want to feel beautiful and their best. I will definitely be using Melissa Bedi in the future for all of my future events.

Melissa is not only an incredibly sweet person, but also a truly talented hair and makeup artist. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her and her team on many occasions, and they always exceed expectations.
Melissa consistently creates stunning looks for every bride, and her professionalism shines through in every aspect of her work. Even on what can be a stressful (but exciting!) wedding day, she remains calm, cool, and collected—making the experience that much smoother for everyone involved. If I could give Melissa more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommend her to any bride looking for a flawless, fun, and stress-free beauty experience!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the hair and makeup services I had for my wedding! Melissa is the best!!! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely flawless.
First, the trial session was such a key part of the process. Melissa took the time to really understand my vision and what I was hoping for on my big day. She listened patiently to my ideas and gave thoughtful suggestions based on my face shape, hair type, and personal style. She made sure I felt comfortable and confident, trying out a few different looks until we found the perfect one. I left the trial feeling so excited and reassured that I was in great hands. I went to my 2nd dress fitting and it was so great so see it call come together.
On the day of the wedding, I was blown away by how smoothly everything went. The team arrived early, prepared, and ready to work their magic. They created a relaxed and fun atmosphere while making sure everything was timed perfectly to keep the morning stress-free. My hair and makeup lasted all day — through the ceremony, the reception, and even a bit of dancing.
I received so many compliments on my look, and I truly felt like the best version of myself. I can’t recommend Melissa enough — she truly helped make my wedding day even more special!

Melissa really came through for me! She was referred to me by a family member that had used her hair/make-up services several times in the past and strongly recommended I reach out to Melissa for my wedding day. I was blown away by Melissa’s professionalism and kindness. She made me feel (and look!) beautiful and I really felt “heard”. I would recommend Melissa to anyone!

Melissa has been doing my hair and makeup for years so when I started my own wedding design and planning company I started reccomending her to my clients. Many of my bride's have opted to get their hair and makeup done by Melissa and have fallen in love with her work the same way I have. She is so professional and kind and listens to what your vision is. Most importantly she will always make you look and feel your absolute best and like an elevated version of yourself. Her work is truly artistry at it's finest. I have never felt more confident or beautiful than when Melissa does my hair and makeup and I know many of my brides have felt the exact same way. On the most important day of your life it is of the utmmost importance that you have someone you trust on your side and Melissa is that person.

I decided to hire Melissa to do my wedding after she did my bridesmaid makeup at a friend’s wedding. She is THAT good people! At both events, the makeup was flawless and done with care. She really listens to what you are looking for and makes sure it will last all day, through tears, dancing, and heat. Her attention to detail is on another level. She gives everyone their own makeup pouf for touchups AND she hand cleans every.single.brush. Each person gets a new set. Thank you for being sanitary!
To top it all off, she is just a calm and comforting presence on what might otherwise be a stressful day for some. She’s great with moms too. Hire her for your next special event!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She went above and beyond to make myself and my wedding party look and feel our best for my wedding day. She was also very understanding when I changed mind about my hair style several times in the lead up to the wedding.
