We had an incredible experience with Honey Hair & Beauty for our wedding! We hired their team for hair and makeup for our bridal party, and they truly exceeded our expectations. I shared my vision with them, and the stylists executed it flawlessly for each person. Their professionalism and expertise made the entire process seamless, and they played such a big part in making my day stress-free. Most importantly, they made me feel absolutely confident and radiant with my look. I couldn’t recommend them more!
Amber and Ashley were so fun to work with on my wedding day! I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted for hair and makeup, but I knew I could trust them as soon as I met them for my trial and they designed a gorgeous up/down hairstyle for my curly hair and figured out the exact right golden tones in my makeup. When I wanted to change a few things between the trial and wedding day, they both accommodated me, which meant that the day of I knew I could put myself completely in their hands. My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids all loved their looks, and they both truly made me feel like a bride. My husband needed help with his long hair, and Amber and Ashley made him look incredible too. Their friendly and happy energy made us all feel so celebratory, a great way to start the day!
Chelsea did such an amazing job on my hair and all of my bridesmaids hair for our wedding. She executed each persons hairstyles perfectly and they held all night long. She was fast but also took the time to make sure each persons hair was exactly how they wanted it. This was the best hair experience I have had for a wedding. Jess also did such an amazing job with all of our makeup. She took the time to make sure each person got exactly what they wanted and she was very good at making sure the makeup looked natural. Everyone’s makeup held throughout the whole day even with lots of dancing. I would highly recommend both of them for hair and makeup!
Any questions?
Choosing HONEY was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding on 7.13.24. I had a large wedding party (9 bridesmaids plus moms!) and HONEY provided me with 2 makeup artists and 2 hair stylists. They were phenomenal and truly so talented. They were professional, funny, punctual, and accommodated all requests. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed.
My mom, Kelly, also wrote a review and shared photos if you'd like to read her perspective and see their work :)
We had wedding hair and makeup done by Shauna, Jess, Chelsea and Ariana. The four of them spent 5 hours with our bridal party (hair for 12, makeup for 11). Every woman in our group looked amazing. The team was flexible when anyone asked for a tweak. Their main concern was our happiness & satisfaction. They were courteous, engaging, very flexible. The day turned out to be super hot & humid - all of our hair & makeup looked pristine 3PM to 3AM! As mother of the bride, I could not have been happier. Honestly, the value is off the charts - you could charge more. Thank you!
Easily the best and most affordable hair and MUA in the area. Everything was straightforward and easy to coordinate. Our artists Ashley and Chelsea were both relaxed and efficient on the day of which helped the atmosphere tremendously. They also listened to me and all the girls, and did everything exactly how we wanted. Thank you for making me and my girls feel beautiful for the wedding!
The lovely ladies of Honey did hair and makeup for my wedding on 10/14/2023. Katie did our makeup and Sam and Megan did our hair. I could not have had a better experience! I did a trial will Sam and Katie and they made great suggestions and accommodated any changes I wanted to make sure my final look was flawless! All my bridesmaids looked amazing. They were on time, efficient, personable, and an all around joy to have with us on my big day! The owner was very responsive to my inquiries and made the scheduling process very smooth. Couldn't recommend them enough!
We got married on 10/27/23 and Honey Hair & Beauty did hair and makeup for 9 people. Everyone looked beautiful. I appreciated the flexibility in scheduling my hair and make trial as the bride. Highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
The team at Honey Hair and Beauty was professional, responsive, and collaborative from the first time I spoke with them for our wedding in June 2022. They were so willing to work with me and my entire bridal party to make each of us feel comfortable with our hair and makeup (I wear pretty natural makeup to begin with, and they absolutely honored that request, whereas my sister wanted a little more glam). I absolutely loved how I looked (my makeup lasted all day, even during an 80-degree ceremony) and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Katie for makeup & Chelsea for hair were SUPERB. They gave both myself and all my bridesmaids exactly the looks asked for. Everyone looked wonderful
I am so grateful to have worked with Honey Hair and Beauty for my wedding! They made the day so easy and fun, they really did a phenomenal job. The hair/makeup trial was so fun and reassuring that I was going to be working with great people on the wedding day! Amber was very easy to work with and created a perfect timeline for getting ready. She did my hair as well as my mom’s hair absolutely beautifully and it held all night, and even into the next morning! My makeup was done by Jess, she is truly an artist! The makeup lasted all night as well and was exactly what I was hoping for and what we did at the trial. Chelsea and Cassie were awesome to work with as well. The whole bridal party had so much fun getting ready and loved their hair and makeup! The whole team was very accommodating with any allergies, which was very helpful!
I cannot recommend HONEY enough. Amber and Katie did such an incredible job on mine and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup. I went into my trials with some ideas of what I wanted and they both worked with me to tweak things when it wasn’t working out quite the way I wanted to. Amber was so reassuring and the end results were absolute perfection. They both just felt like part of the crew throughout the whole morning as well, chatting and having a good time! Don’t hesitate to book with HONEY, you won’t regret it!
Jessica and Chelsea did an amazing job on my wedding day! I had a trial with them ahead of time, and helped me make sure my hair and makeup would be exactly as I wanted. There was great communication with the honey hair and beauty team ahead of time and they helped create a timeline for getting ready the morning of the wedding. They came out to the venue, as we were staying on site. They were so efficient and we finished with plenty of time for last minute touch ups and to get dressed before photos. Even though we were ready really early in the day, everyone's looks held up all night! I continue to go back to the salon as well for hair cuts, lash treatments, etc. Would definitely recommend this team to anyone!
I'm so happy I chose Honey to do hair and makeup for myself, my bridal party, my mom, and MIL on my wedding day! We all felt so beautiful and the girls were a pleasure to work with. They kept us right on schedule and were so receptive to our vision for the looks while customizing each one to the recipient's preferences. We started at 8 am and were done by 11 am (8 hair, 7 makeup). Amber and Ashley did my hair and makeup (respectively) and brought Jess and JuJu with them to assist. Everyone knocked it out of the park! I was so nervous before my trial, as I had a bad experience at another salon back in high school, but the girls put me entirely at ease. Ashley clearly remembered everything from my trial, and even suggested a few tweaks to improve my makeup look on the day of my wedding. I'm very fair and was worried about looking orange or just not like "myself," but Ashley did a perfect job creating a natural glam that still felt like me. Amber did the same, and was able to install some clip-in hair extensions I bought between my trial and wedding day without batting an eye. I was apprehensive since my hair is very fine, but you never would have known once Amber was done with me! They were all so adaptable, and they set us up for lasting looks with touch-ups before they packed up. Happy to report that my makeup was indeed cry-proof! :) The Honey team made us all feel so at ease and set the perfect tone for such a wonderful day. Thank you Honey!
Honey Hair and Beauty recently did the hair and makeup for myself, my MIL, and my large bridal party for my wedding, and I cannot recommend enough. Amber was wonderful to work with in planning and was very organized in creating a schedule for the day, making changes when necessary for us.
I absolutely loved my hair by Elysa and Jess did a fantastic job with my makeup. My MIL also recently commented how much she loved her hair and makeup, as well. Cassie (hair) and JuJu (makeup) also did a wonderful job. The whole group was so accommodating and great to work with. They worked so efficiently (put us ahead of schedule) and helped create a fun atmosphere. I couldn’t have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out!
Amber, Katie, and Cassie, did all hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and mother for my wedding on 10/7/2022. They were amazing! They kept spirits high and made us all feel so beautiful. They provided a schedule to help keep us on the timeline (very important) and we even finished early. I can’t say enough good things and we all loved how we looked ❤️
I absolutely recommend the team at Honey Hair & Beauty! Amber and Katie were both incredible to work with. I'm not typically someone who does my hair or makeup, so I was hoping to achieve a natural look for my wedding day that still held up in photos and lasted for the full day. They listened so attentively during my trial and created the exact look I wanted, recreating it perfectly on my wedding day. They also did hair and makeup for my mom, sister, and a few friends and created looks that matched each woman's style expertly. We had so much fun spending the morning getting ready with Amber and Katie, and were so sad to say goodbye when they finished! Everyone's look lasted beautifully for the entire day, despite tears, rain, and wind. Thank you Amber and Katie!!!
So glad I booked with Honey. Amber is magic! I showed her one photo of my hairstyle I wanted and she perfectly replicated it! They were very flexible with helping me arrange a new trial when my original makeup artist couldn’t do the event any longer and Jessica was so great. They made me and my family and friends look gorgeous.
I highly recommend Honey Hair & Beauty for hair and makeup!
Amber was wonderful to work with in planning and was very organized in creating a schedule for the day. After my hair and makeup trial with Amber and Ashley, I knew I made the right choice! Amber, Ashley and Cassie came to the venue to do our hair and makeup and were on time and ready to go. Everything day of ran so smoothly, and they ended up finishing ahead of schedule! I was so happy with my hair and makeup and it just made me feel so confident on the big day! Every single bridesmaid's hair and makeup looked amazing!! My bridesmaids appreciated how Amber and Cassie would check in while doing their hair to make sure they were liking it and to give them any options of what they could do. Amber, Ashley, and Cassie were wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them!
I used Honey Hair and Beauty for hair and makeup for myself, the moms, and the bridesmaids on my wedding day. They were amazing! First of all, just in planning they were great. I received a detailed schedule of the day and the when the day came it was perfectly executed. We were right on time for pictures pre-ceremony and the ceremony. The girls were so easy going and fun. They really helped to keep all of us (mainly me lol!) calm. I would recommend Honey Hair and Beauty to anyone! Sam G, JuJu, Sam O, and Jess were a great team and I loved having them a part of our day!
I would recommend this wonderful team to any bride!! The entire team at Honey Hair was so welcoming and accommodating! I did not live close by and had time restraints for when I could do my trials and they fit me at a very short notice. My bridal party had some scheduling complications and Honey’s team was so wonderful making it all fit together to make the day smooth. JuJu (makeup) and Sam (hair) were incredible. They listened to everyone request and all the ladies hair and makeup looked gorgeous and everyone loved their looks. Sam and Juju worked so hard and efficiently to make it a stress free day. I would absolutely recommend the Honey team to any one for any event and I hope to work with them again in the future!
Amber and Cassie were so great to work with! We had 10 people having their hair done. These ladies kept everyone on schedule and even finished early. They were able to bring everyone's hairstyle vision to life without seeing any requests in advance. We were lucky to have them be a part of our day!
Cassie and Ashley literally drove through a hurricane to get our hair and make up done and managed to create looks that were beautiful and lasted all through night even with the weather and dancing our hearts out. The photos came out wonderfully and all the girls were happy with their individually curated looks. They had everyone ready with time to spare and were very professional. Would highly recommend :)
Ashley (makeup) and Sam (hair) were absolutely amazing on my wedding day. They were prompt, efficient, and professional. They did hair and makeup for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and 2 moms, and we even ended up finishing early (which was helpful in setting a relaxed tone for the rest of the day). Everyone's hair and makeup looked beautiful, and it all held up great for hours of pictures, eating, and dancing. I did a trial a few months before, and I'd definitely recommend that! It helped to make sure everyone knew what I wanted (myself included) and I felt much more comfortable on the day of the wedding since I'd already met Ashley and Sam. Highly recommend Honey H&B!
Honey Hair and Beauty went above and beyond to make my wedding day so special. Sam did my hair and Katie did my makeup. They did a beautiful job at the trial and replicated everything perfectly for the big day. They brought two assistants to help 8 girls and two mothers get ready the morning of. Everything went seamlessly and we were ahead of schedule the whole time. Because of that, I was able to have my photographer come a half hour early and take so many awesome getting ready shots. I was in awe of how professional, dedicated, focused, and kind both Sam, Katie, and Amber were throughout the whole process. My entire bridal party LOVED their hair and makeup. My mom, who hardly ever wears makeup, felt so glamorous and they were able to do a very natural look for her that she felt so confident with! They planned for 30 minutes of touch ups, so every girl felt confident and ready to rock for photos. Katie and Sam were so fun to chat with during the morning and made the entire morning feel so calm and relaxing. I would highly recommend Honey Hair and Beauty for all of your wedding needs! The prices are very affordable as well, and the quality is beyond amazing. Thank you for making my wedding dreams come true and making me feel like the most beautiful bride!
I cannot recommend HONEY Hair and Beauty enough! They did my hair for my wedding and all of my wedding party's hair. Amber is a skilled and patient stylist - she listened to my needs and created the perfect style to complement my natural curls but also styled my family and bridesmaids in all different ways. She even created a last-minute floral hairpiece for me that was gorgeous. I got tons of compliments on my hair. Please support this amazing local women-owned salon - they are great!
I had booked HONEY Hair and Beauty to do my hair and make-up for my wedding in June 2020. Due to COVID, we did a small ceremony and I was able to get my hair done by Elysa. I gave her a few hair styles I was interested in and she came up was an amazing design! She was wonderful to work with! I booked them for the rescheduled wedding reception this past June and was able to have Sam and Jess do the hair and make-up for my wedding party. During the trials, it was great getting to work with them and find out what would look best and the look I was trying to convey. The morning of the wedding, Sam and Jess arrived on time and were great working with my wedding party, including the younger kids we had in it. We received so many compliments on our hair and make-up. Every time I communicated with them via email, everyone was professional and prompt. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Western Mass area!
I loved working with the team at Honey! They were super organized because they do a ton of weddings and it was very easy to book them and plan out the logistics for the wedding day. My bridal party had many people who do not normally wear make up and they were able to accommodate their different preferences to make sure everyone felt comfortable. They made sure we stayed on schedule and also had a great calming energy! We got so many compliments on the hair and make up and they were able to execute on everyone's vision for their look.
I highly recommend hiring Honey! We had a great experience. I had a larger bridal party and they were able to bring two extra stylists to accommodate us all in a timely manner. Every one of my girls looked so beautiful and felt super confident. They also ask for lots of feedback to make sure you look and feel your best and want to make sure you truly love your hair and make up.
These girls are absolutely amazing! They were attentive and responsive to the changes I wanted to make after my trial run at the salon (which is beautiful and cozy btw!) and truly perfected my vision the day of! I had 8 people total who wanted to get hair and makeup done and they were able to send two teams of artists to two different locations to get this done, and everything went smoothly on my wedding date!
Sam was our make up artist, and Jess was our hair stylist for our wedding day. They were professional and so easy to work with which made one less thing we needed to worry about on our wedding day. They traveled to our venue, showed up on time, and had so much fun with us on our big day.
Katie and Amber at Honey were so incredible! I worked with them for our micro wedding in October 2020, and am so happy to have I hired them. I went in for my trial about a month in advance with inspiration images, and both of them absolutely nailed what I was looking for. They asked if I had any adjustments I wanted for my wedding look (I didn’t) and were quick to answer any questions I had throughout the process. We had a few last minute changes due to COVID, but they were very flexible and adaptable. Katie and Amber were an absolute joy to work with, they both made us all feel special and comfortable throughout the day. We were able to use their bridal suite upstairs, which was the perfect setting for getting ready with my girls. We all loved our hair and makeup, it came out beautifully and lasted all day! I highly recommend these phenomenal women, and can’t wait to work with them again for our postponed celebration this October! Thanks, Katie and Amber!
I worked with Ashley and Elysa from Honey Hair and Beauty for my November microwedding and had an incredible experience with them. I am a professional planner and so have worked with them many times in that capacity (and my clients have always been thrilled) and my experience as a bride was just as wonderful. Ashley and Elysa made the whole process entirely comfortable and fun! I felt so at ease working when them, especially after my hair and makeup trial. I knew I was going to feel confident and taken care of on the big day. The brought such good energy to the wedding morning and it was fun to pass the hours before the wedding chatting and laughing with these ladies. My hair and makeup came out amazing – and I couldn’t have been more happier with the results! I can’t recommend Honey Hair & Beauty enough – and will keep sending clients their way!
From day one, the team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Their passion for their profession really shows, and they all created quite the power team.
During my trial, they listened to what I was looking for and nailed it. They were a wonderful surprise and took extra attention in suggesting a new beauty routine to help my day-of turn out.
On the wedding day, the team did a great job working in the space provided with the wedding party, considering COVID-times. They were all personable and talked with each person in their chair, and the ladies came out of the seats just radiant and beautiful. You can tell everyone had their own glow about them after being done. They couldn't stop looking at themselves!
Thank you, ladies, for everything!
I loved working with Amber, Ashely and Cassie! They were so easy to communicate with during Covid planning and flexible for what each bridesmaid had in mind for hair and make up. They were a wonderful team to work with!
Ashley and Amber are an amazing team! They met me where I was at, offered their perspective, and I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. They were easy going, professional, kind, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a local, women-owned, exceptionally run business.
Everyone looked beautiful before and throughout the wedding, and even the next morning! Great group of women to work with and at a fair price. Very pleased with everything!!
Amazing wedding makeup and hair!!
Ashley did my makeup, my mother's, and bridesmaids for my special day. Throughout my planning process (from February to my wedding day in October), she was responsive and took care of all the small details (scheduling, what would look best on me, etc.). This truly made me feel less anxious and this was an area of wedding planning I did not have to worry about because of their prompt assistance. They are so friendly and truly care about making your day perfect and feel like a fairytale. I felt amazing and gorgeous on my wedding day after Ashley completed my makeup!! It matched the season, my dress, and personal preferences. Amber completed all my bridesmaids hair and each of the girls felt and looked beautiful! My mother received compliments throughout the night from individuals saying she looked so beautiful! Ashley made my mother feel like a movie star. I had an 11 year old junior bridesmaid and 3 year old flower girl in the bridal party both of which got their hair and makeup completed. Ashley and Amber were so friendly, gentle, and engaging with these two that they were able to sit through the whole process and they were so excited! The two are a great team together and completed everyone's hair and makeup in a timely manner! I would highly recommend these two!
I worked with Ashley, Amber, and Cassie for my wedding!! They did such an amazing job! All my girls looked amazing and beautiful❤️ I loved the airbrush and the prices were so reasonable! My makeup lasted all day and through many many tears❤️ I definitely recommend them for your special day!!
I woke up in the middle of the night a year before my wedding, drenched in sweat (July), and began freaking out how this heat would affect my hair and makeup for the wedding. I pulled out my iPad and began searching for hair and makeup. Through my photographer's website, I discovered HONEY hair and beauty. They had the style I wanted: simple, beautiful, flawless, etc. I trust my photographer for everything, so I messaged her and asked about HONEY hair and beauty. She raved about the quality of their work and their amazing personalities.
I booked my trial and knew I had to have them not only for myself but for my bridal crew. Amber does hair flawlessly and truly understands the shape of your face and hairstyles that will make you feel as flawless as you are. Ashley's expertise with makeup and skin type is beyond what I have seen before.
HONEY hair & beauty also own a beauty salon. I entrusted them with my hair care (coloring, cut, etc) from my hair trial and still now. They truly care about their clients and will make you feel like a celebrity on your big day. Half my bridal crew never do their makeup and hair and were nervous they would feel like a clown. Amber and Ashley worked with them to find the style and makeup to make them feel comfortable.
PS. it was a ridiculously hot day and everything stayed put!
Seriously, book them, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!
HONEY is a fantastic duo! Ashley, the makeup artist, and Amber, the hair stylist, make a great team.
We asked our wedding party to decide what they wanted in terms of hair and makeup, as they were paying for themselves, and the team was very accommodating in figuring out the right schedule and waiting to determine the final cost until close to the day. In fact, one of the reasons we first reached out was that HONEY is more affordable than most stylist teams in the area and doesn’t have limits on the minimum number of people getting their hair/makeup done like many other stylists do. Plus, working with a team rather than individual MUAs and hair stylists meant that they work well together and their styles mesh.
All that said, the real selling point of HONEY is that they are great at their art. Amber, in particular, worked wonders on my crazy curly hair. I’ve always hated my hair since it is so hard to keep in place while looking natural but I wanted to wear it down for my wedding, and Amber somehow managed to tame my curls and keep them in place for ~12 hours while keeping their natural look and feel. She also created gorgeous updos for other members of my bridal party (of all hair types), nearly replicating the pictures they brought in strand-for-strand.
Ashley, on her part, is able to create beautiful makeup for whatever level of glam you desire. I’d never done airbrush foundation or worn fake lashes before going to her, but during my makeup trial we figure out how to still give me that extra oomph (lashes, since mine are thin) without making me look too different from my everyday (since I normally wear very little makeup). For my officiant, a friend, she was able to flip this on its head and create a totally glam, retro, look -- just her style. Everyone who had their makeup done was thrilled.
We can’t recommend HONEY enough!
Ashley was so wonderful. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined my make up looking like. Not only was mine flawless, but all of my bridesmaids looked amazing as well.
