I am so grateful to have found Jen to do my hair and makeup on my big day! She was always professional but also SO fun to work with, and she made my wedding day prep completely stress-free. In addition, because I don't know much about hair/makeup, Jen was kind enough to help me choose accessories and point my look in the most flattering direction. The work she did was MILES better than what I received for my reception a month later. I've never looked so beautiful than on my wedding day, and it's all thanks to Jen, who is so talented. I cannot recommend her enough to soon-to-be brides everywhere!
Jen did an amazing job on my wedding hair and makeup. She was prompt, respectful, professional, and kind. I did a hair and makeup trial and we worked together to discuss what would work well for me. She helped me narrow down choices and styles that would work well with my skin and hair type and matched what I was envisioning. She was supportive, and fun to work with and my pictures came out beautifully. I also really appreciated that she helped me feel/look good not just in photos but also in person. Jen also did hair and/or makeup for 3 other wedding party members and they also enjoyed working with her and loved the results. I would highly recommend working with her!
When I first met Jen, she was great. But I’ve never worked with someone who was so unwilling to meet to discuss their client’s concerns. Looking back, I wish Jen had been more understanding of my issues as a first-time bride and less condescending in her tone when she spoke to me. Regarding her professional skills, none of my bridesmaids were happy with their results and I ended up redoing everything for myself anyway.
I originally signed a contract with 3 bridesmaids hair. Then I requested a change to 3 bridesmaids hair + makeup and never saw a revised contract or signed this version. Then I requested a change to 3 bridesmaids hair only. Here are some snippets of the emails she sent me regarding my request.
Jen: “Yes, I’ve been doing weddings for a very long time and understand timing. This should have been accounted for when deciding to change the services to both hair and makeup in April. "
Jen: “I changed the numbers just like you asked me to in the email. I did not need an updated signature from you since you asked for the service numbers to be changed and I responded and said I would make a note of the change.”
Jen: “I too, don’t want to be disrespected as a small business owner. This is my lively hood. Not a hobby. This is how I pay my bills and live. I’m sure you would feel the same if someone came to your work and changed things. You asked and I changed it. If you wanted to resign to go over it again you had over two months to ask; That was never asked. That being said, I truly don’t have time to go back and forth with this issue. I run my business the way I see fit and have my contract in place for times such as this. It should be read entirely and I should never feel taken advantage of because I am a small business owner. But, I’m choosing my battles and time is most valuable to me currently, so therefore you can go back to the original contact of the 3 hair. I will change it back.”
I wish I could copy and paste the entire email thread in here because it would also show me repeatedly asking to speak over the phone. I wanted to deescalate the situation and also apologize. She refused to give me time. When I finally got a hold of her over the phone thanks to my husband, she repeatedly told me how busy she was and then she said that she can’t put me over her family and her daughter. Then she hung up on me. The phone call lasted 7 whole minutes.
She never reached out to me afterwards. I didn’t contact her also from the fear of being yelled at again. I was worried if she was going to show up to my wedding at all. She showed up and was professional. However all 3 of my bridesmaids and I had to redo our hair/makeup.
Absolutely love Jen! Cannot recommend her more as a person and professional! Jen has the most calming energy, is so easy to connect with, and I had the most zen day just being with her getting my hair and makeup done for my wedding. She totally understood my vision, listened to my concerns like a friend, and executed flawlessly on the big day. She is one in a million, so talented and has the biggest heart. I opted for the bridal hair and makeup trial so we could get to know each other and from the first time we met it was like spending time with an old friend. Jen nailed my trial and I felt so confident and reassured going into the big day. She literally thinks of everything to pack in her getting ready bag and I LOVED my final look. You will not find anyone better than Jen! Book her!
Jen did my HMU for my rehearsal dinner and wedding and did the most amazing job!! My bridesmaids and moms also loved hanging out with her all day while we were getting ready. Jen is so personable and really makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful while she's working with you. If you're looking for someone for your upcoming wedding or any event, I'd highly recommend booking Jen Lagers!
Jen did the hair/makeup for my wedding and she was so fun to work with. She is super personable and made me feel relaxed and comfortable on my big day. I did a trial with her beforehand and enjoyed a glass of wine while she did my hair and make-up. On the day of my wedding I had a few tweaks I wanted made and she was very accommodating. Jen uses the NICEST skincare and makeup products. It truly felt luxurious. She also has a bridal accessories company, and helped me find a hairpin the day of my wedding. My makeup and hair stayed all night long through photos, dinner, dancing, and more! It photographed beautifully. Thanks Jen!
It was such a joy to work with Jen for my wedding this past August! She is incredibly talented, kind, and easy to connect with. As someone who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis, I wanted to look like an elevated version of myself for my wedding, and she definitely delivered on that vision. My hair and makeup looked stunning, and it held up all day long. Along with an assistant, Jen organized getting ready with my larger bridal party, ensuring that time was managed efficiently. Jen not only did a wonderful job making sure everyone looked and felt beautiful, the entire bridal party (including myself) loved getting to hang out with her. It felt like we had known each other for years! Getting ready was one of the highlights of the day – it was incredibly fun and stress-free. I’d recommend Jen again and again!
Absolutely loved working with Jen for our wedding this past August. She has such a wonderful welcoming personality and is truly so talented. Everyone was very happy on the day of with their makeup & hairstyles provided by Jen and her day of assistant. And I was beyond happy, literally got tears once I looked in the mirror. Would absolutely hands down recommend Jen to anyone and everyone, loved her!
Jen did my makeup for my wedding day and it was perfect! I never wear a ton of makeup and have always been intimidated by everything that goes into it. But she made not only myself but my whole wedding party look flawless. She was so easy and fun to work with too. I found out that she does hair down the street from my house and decided to have her cut my hair over the past year so I had the opportunity to get to know her better before the big day. And when I needed moments to vent about the wedding process she listened and gave me the best advice. Thank you Jen for being there the past year and for the most amazing makeup!
Jen is amazing!! My hair and makeup skill level is almost zero so I was nervous but knew I needed some help for the big day. During the trial I had hair ideas but when it came time for makeup I realized I had completely forgotten to have an idea ready! Just through our chatting during the hair she had an idea of what I would want and she was so right and it was perfect. The day of the wedding Jen and her assistant were amazing, making everyone feel comfortable, she made the whole morning so fun!
I cannot recommend Jen highly enough! Every single time I had my hair / makeup done by Jen, I could not stop staring at myself in the mirror! Jen is incredibly talented at what she does, and is not only able to apply makeup that looks amazing, but the way she applies it makes *you* look amazing. She'll help bring out your best features, and even though you're wearing more makeup than you're probably used to, you still look like you, just flawless. She did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot, and in my pictures I look incredible- my hair stayed put despite rain, and my makeup in my photos is gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE how I look in my photos. Same story for my wedding day, my makeup was fire, I've never felt so beautiful in my life! And my photos from my wedding day are absolute perfection!
Jen is an absolute professional, her work really speaks for itself, and the photos of those who have had their makeup done are incredible because she is so good at what she does! As for icing on the cake, Jen is such a sweet person, fun to talk to and easy going. I loved getting to know her during my appointments. 10/10, if I got to marry my husband all over again I'd book Jen again!
Jen did my hair and makeup for my boudoir shoot. She made me feel so comfortable (including giving me an extra pour of champagne to calm the nerves). I loved the natural look she did for my face, which highlighted my better features and made them stand out in the photos. She made sure my straight hair kept a wave, giving the pictures a bit of va-va-voom (necessary for a boudoir shoot). I am so thankful that she took the time to work with me. Would definitely recommend!
Jen is the absolute best. She did my hair and make up for my wedding and was a dream to work with. She has the kindest spirit, is extremely professional, and has the calmest demeanor that makes you feel so relaxed on your big day. I felt so lucky to be able to spend my morning with her and my closest girlfriends. If you are thinking of hiring Jen, absolutely do it, you will not regret it. I am also going to make sure she is the only person that touches my hair going forward. Love you so much Jen!
As a wedding planner it's important for me to work with the best vendors in the industry, and Jen is the best of the best. She is not only exceptionally talented as a hair and makeup artist, but she is thoughtful, kind and extremely professional. She has developed such a beautiful way of doing hair and makeup to make you look like you are the best version of yourself. Do yourself a favor, and hire Jen for your next wedding or photo shoot!
Jen was a dream to work with for my bridal hair and makeup. She was kind, funny and attentive to detail. I’ve never felt so beautiful. She did a wonderful job. She’s truly mastered her craft. I highly recommend her! I can’t thank her enough. (:
I seriously could not have been happier with everything that Jen provided! I've been going to Jen for my regular hair appointments for the past 2 years, and she is such an incredible and inspirational person! I of course asked her to do my wedding hair and makeup, along with my 6 bridesmaids. She was incredibly professional throughout the planning and trial process and really listened to what I envisioned for my big day. The day of the wedding, she and her assistant were so fun to work with, they had all my bridesmaids laughing and having a great time! My hair and makeup stayed in place the entire night, even with me being on the dance floor for 2+ hours! I received so many compliments, and am so thankful to have booked Jen!
I loved working with Jen! I hired her for bridal/wedding hair and makeup. She also did hair and makeup for my boudoir session which was when I first met her. She is very personable and great at what she does. After the boudoir appointment I ended up booking her to get my balayage refreshened. She did such an amazing job! I told her about how the last 2 times I got it done at another salon, they didn't get the color right. She told me about the product uses which is made specifically for darker hair to get it lighter without bleach and damaging it. She got my balayage color right on point! When it came to the bridal trial, she did such a wonderful job with my hair. We talked a lot during the hair portion and I ended up running short on time because I had a dress fitting right after. So makeup didn't turn out how I wanted which was my fault but also you know your skin better than anyone else. I'm really oily so that was something I was worried about. I contacted Jen just to see if we can change up some things and she was so nice about it. I didn't have any doubts that it wasn't going to turn out right on wedding day because I trust her. She's been doing this for a long time and is passionate about her work. She addressed all my concerns and on wedding day it looked perfect! Throughout the process I got to know her better and she is such a good person. I will definitely be a returning client for hair/makeup needs!
Working with Jen on my wedding day was an absolute dream. She is so relaxed and easy-going, but also professional and attentive. Jen is truly an artist and made me feel confident and radiant from the inside out. I truly recommend her!
Jen is not only an incredible makeup artist and hairstylist, but also an uplifting and positive friend to have beside you as you start your wedding day. I first worked with Jen when she came to shoot in Paris, where I was living at the time. I immediately knew that she had to do my hair and makeup at my wedding, so when the time came, I asked her and then made plans to bring her out to Pittsburgh to do my hair and makeup, as well as my mom’s, my mother-in-law’s, and my bridesmaids’. She was the perfect person to have with me the morning of my wedding. So easygoing, so positive (I had a stressful morning, and she was able to keep me calm), and so talented. My hair and makeup absolutely exceeded every expectation, was gorgeous, and lasted through the whole night! She did a lovely job as well on everyone else, and I had so many bridesmaids later tell me how much they enjoyed getting to know her. She was not just another vendor at my wedding, but has rather become a lifelong friend. We loved having her!
Jen did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding hair and makeup. She was so easy to work with and really delivered the exact look I wanted. I felt like I saw so many wedding specific stylists that overdid it on the hair and makeup, I wanted a natural and classic look and that is exactly what she delivered. Beyond her ability to make my hair and makeup look beautiful, she was so easy to work with from the start to end. Jen showed up on time and ready the morning of my wedding and gave me a little moment of relaxation before the festivities began. Jen is so talented and knows all the tricks of the trade to get your look just right, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hair or makeup artist for their wedding or special event!
JEN IS AMAZING!!!
Seriously! I didn't know where to look for a H+MUA so I used the knot and found Jen and LOVED her. The whole process was so fun! She was so friendly and personable AND so talented at what she does. I wanted an updo that I could also let down after the ceremony and she killed it!! I don't wear much makeup naturally and she made me look flawless but still natural! It was a dream. I seriously miss it and wish I could do it all over again.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND JEN. she has a ton of experience, does an amazing job and is SOOOO fun to share your special day with.
She is practically famous :)
XOXO
Jen came recommended from my planner and was great and very flexible in terms of working with me to schedule the trial and means of communication since I live in a different state. She’s great at taking feedback and she will make sure you look beautiful for your wedding. She did all 6 of my bridesmaids makeup, plus my mom and I’s hair and makeup prior to a 1 pm picture start. One of my eyelashes came slightly unglued a little before the ceremony, but I was able to fix it with glue - that was the only issue and it’s likely because I didn’t keep my eye closed long enough for it to set since I didn’t have this issue during the trial. I would use Jen again in a heartbeat.
What to say about Jen... she was so nice and professional!!! She did my hair exactly how I wanted and also, gave me advice about what would be better. She did my (bride) hair and makeup and my mother’s and my sister’s. Everything went perfectly fine!!!
I loved it and everyone was saying how beautiful I was. Thank you Jen
Jen was and is the best! When I went for my trial, she was patient and had great advice; I left knowing that I would be delighted and feeling good on the big day. On our wedding day itself, Jen did hair and make-up for four of us. She took the time to have each person feeling their best, and was a lovely, calming presence. When I wasn't sure about my hair, she adjusted. When I had my teary moment of overwhelm, she was the kindest. What more could you ask for? I wasn't sure that we needed hair and make-up done professionally, but I am so very glad that we spent the money, and that we chose Jen. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I cannot think of anyone else more qualified to do my brides' hair and makeup than Jen! As a wedding planner, I knew that the instant warmth and personal connection I felt with her the moment we met would be multiplied 50x for my brides!! Not to mention that her work and expertise are beyond beautiful and cannot be compared with anything else. I recommend Jen to all of my brides and for good reason - she is amazing and the absolute sweetest!!
Jen is an absolute treasure! From the initial email to the day of my wedding, she was enthusiastic, helpful, and all around amazing. I didn't have a bridal party, so she did my hair, and the hair and makeup for my mom and mother-in-law. She also cut and styled my mom's hair prior to the wedding and it was an amazing haircut. What I loved about having Jen do my hair (other than her sparkling personality and heart of gold) is that she really listened to what I wanted, incorporated the random selection of Pinterest photos, and made helpful suggestions that showed her expertise and eye to detail. She took everything we discussed at the trial into consideration, and my wedding day hair was even better than what I could have imagined (or pinned)! I have thick, long hair - and lots of it - so I had a lot of questions and concerns before booking my wedding hairstylist. Jen was totally up for the challenge and went above and beyond on my wedding day. She is so thoughtful and interacted with my family and friends with such joy and grace, I didn't want her to leave! I am forever grateful that I found her as a stylist. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding day!
Absolutely cannot reccommend Jen enough!! She is my #1 recommendation to my photography clients for their hair & make up needs and she totally kicks it out of the park every time. She is timely and efficient yet sweet as can be. Jen has been doing my hair for years and is the most genuine, kind, and talented lady out there. She has a way of making you feel like a total super model - the exact thing you want on your wedding day, or just day to day life as a cut & color client! Jen has also done my hair and make up for events, personal photoshoots, etc. and again - couldn't reccommend her more!
Jen was amazing! She worked with me throughout my wedding planning to accomplish my overall look and vision I had for my hair and makeup.
Jen was great at communicating and making me feel comfortable, her personality matches her smile!
She only uses professional products (MAC, Oribe, Kenra, Tom Ford, Chanel. ect) as well as educates you in the process! I have learned so much during my time spent with her. Not only with hair/makeup, but skincare as well.
She made me not only look gorgeous day of, but FEEL amazing! Jen calmed my nerves as well as brought me a nice bottle of champagne to help! (this was included in her touch-up kit)
I cannot recommend The Outer Edge enough! Luxurious! Pretty as a princess! These are all the feels!
Jen was absolutely amazing. I was a very mellow bride and trusted her completely with my wedding day look, she made me look and feel amazing! Not to mention she was so easy to talk to the entire planning process and she was so welcoming when I had my hair and makeup trial. She definitely knows what she is doing!!
