Hair Journeys took care of my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as the makeup for my bridesmaids. Nicole is so professional and skilled!! We looked great and had a perfect experience getting beautified for the wedding. I highly recommend Hair Journeys!

This review is to help any Brides looking for someone to do hair and makeup for their wedding. LISTEN, BOOK Nicole and Tara! They are the most professional, most personable, and most talented hair and makeup team in upstate, Catskills, Capital Region, Saratoga Spring NY area. And trust me, I did tons of research to find them! They traveled two hours by car to style me for my wedding in the Catskills mountains. And their pricing was absolutely reasonable for me and my mother, my cousin and my best friend. The morning of my wedding, Tara and Nicole showed up on time and made what could've been a stressful morning so relaxing. It was like having two more friends in the room. My caterers said they could hear us all laughing upstairs while we were getting ready. I loved that before the wedding, Nicole always answered emails within an appropriate time frame and that their appointment system sends out reminders the day before any appointments. The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is that your makeup and hair person might not show up - but I felt confident, even with the 2-hour drive in the mountains with minimal service, that they would be there on time and they were! Makeup: I was nervous about finding the right person. Someone who could match my brown skin tone (no gray face or mismatched foundation) and give me a glam, natural and glowing look. Tara put me at ease! She listened to what I wanted and offered great suggestions, but never made me feel bad for my choices. My trial went amazingly and the wedding day look was even better! Honestly, if I ever go to another event, I'm going to get my makeup done with her. My cousin, best friend, and mom also got their makeup done. Each has their own unique style and has slightly different shades of brown skin and they all LOVED their make-up and looked amazing - both in person and in the photos. That's right! None of that, your makeup looks caked on in person but will look good in photos. My makeup looked great both in person and in photos! Hair: Nicole did an amazing job on my hair. I needed someone who was comfortable with natural, kinky hair because I wanted to wear my 4 c hair down and natural. I bought clip-ins for length and I could tell by the ease with which Nicole inspected them that she was a pro. She had no problem styling my hair to match the kinky clip-ins perfectly! And I was not an easy bride. At the last minute, I told Nicole I wanted to incorporate a braid into my hairstyle, and she thought about it and immediately got to work. She came up with such a beautiful and creative hairstyle incorporating the braid. Everyone at the wedding complimented me on my hair. It was exactly what I was looking for - a Solange meets Issa Rae look for my rustic bohemian wedding dress. And all this glamming was done quickly and on time so that I could take some professional pictures and still start our ceremony on time! If you want to look your absolute best, the most stunning you've ever looked on your wedding day, and you want people around you the morning of who are kind, good listeners, professional, and experts at their craft hire Nicole and Tara - hire Hair Journeys to do your wedding hair and makeup. It's that simple. They are the best around. I am so grateful to them for making my wedding that much more enjoyable and memorable.

Nicole did a fabulous job on my hair and makeup and the makeup for my bridesmaids! She was attentive to our skin tones and the type of makeup look we wanted for a chic destination wedding. I highly recommend her!!

Nicole and Kelly did a phenomenal job doing hair and makeup for my sister and I on my wedding day. They made me feel like the most beautiful bride! The makeup was natural just as I asked and my hair exceeded expectations and held up beautifully all night. My sister, who was my maid of honor, was equally pleased with Kelly's styling and attentiveness. These ladies definitely know and own their craft. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup services for weddings or any kind of special event.
