Lauren and her time were on time efficient and made everyone feel amazing! Every single bridesmaid said their hair and make up were perfect! Our make up absolutely stayed all night and never judged. Lauren did my hair and did not stop until it was absolutely perfect! I could not recommend Lauren and her team enough!
Hair and makeup was so important to me for my wedding. Lauren and team were amazing. Everyone looked stunning day of thanks to Lauren and Lupe.
I could not be more happy with how my hair and makeup came out. Lauren is a true professional and I can’t recommend her more!
Lauren and team were my chosen make-up artists on my wedding day (12/20/24) and they did an amazing job! They were punctual (even though I forgot to confirm them week-of WHOOPS!) and made all my girls look stunning. Lauren used a fabulous red lip on me that matched my Christmas backdrop and lasted the whole dang day! I cannot recommend them enough!
Any questions?
Lauren and her team do absolutely beautiful work. I was looking for something subtle but glam, I wanted to look special but not overdone and she was perfect! I had her to myself the entire morning to get ready and a team of 2 other ladies. Everyone looked fabulous and the hair & makeup lasted all day and night. I did a trial for my engagement photos and loved it.
I can’t say enough amazing things about Lauren Berlingeri and her team! They arrived right on time and made my bridesmaids and me look absolutely stunning. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our hair and makeup turned out exactly how we envisioned. Their professionalism, talent, and attention to detail were unmatched. If you’re looking for a team that will make you feel beautiful and stress-free on your big day, I highly recommend Lauren and her team for wedding hair and makeup!
She did a fantastic job! I told her I wanted a natural look, and she really did a great job making my makeup look natural but still beautiful for pictures. My bridesmaids wanted a more glamorous look which she also delivered on, so she can do it all. I highly recommend!
Lauren and her team came to my venue to do hair and makeup for myself and 7 bridesmaids. They were extremely friendly and efficient. The timing and schedule went flawlessly and we were all ready with time to spare. They made everyone look absolutely stunning, even better than I ever imagined! The makeup withheld plenty of tears and even a bit of rain during photos. I highly recommend hiring Lauren and her team!!
Lauren and her team did my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with 11 other women in my bridal party. They planned the timeline perfectly and everyone's hair and makeup not only looked beautiful, but it lasted the entire day and night! Lauren and her team are so talented and I would highly recommend booking with them for any event!
Lauren and her team were absolutely amazing. They all worked together to make my bridal party look amazing. Lauren did an incredible job on both my hair and makeup, she got everything done in time and it was flawless all around. I received so many compliments throughout the night. The beautiful natural glam makeup was my exact vision and my hair looked even more beautiful than the inspo photo I shower her. I would definitely recommend Lauren!!
Lauren did my hair and makeup for my wedding day on October 18th, and it was absolutely incredible. Both looked amazing all day and night long, I could not have asked for more! She is so amazing at what she does and i cannot recommend her enough!
If you're looking for a hair & makeup artist, look no further! Lauren and her team are truly amazing at what they do! I had given Lauren an inspiration photo of the vibe I was going for and she executed it perfectly. I have never felt as beautiful as I did as on my wedding day and it is all thanks to Lauren. My bridal party, both moms, and myself received so many compliments that day and I will be forever thankful. Lauren & her team are also so personable and made my bridal party and I feel so comfortable when we were getting ready in the morning. I would highly recommend booking for your wedding day! You definitely won't regret it.
Lauren and her team were so nice and did such a beautiful job! Leading up to the wedding, there were some times that they were hard to get in touch with but it ultimately all worked out! On the day of the wedding, they were so fun to be around and made everyone (including my grandmother) look and feel beautiful. The first hair stylist accidentally left before doing the allotted number of girls I paid for, but the second hair stylist took over and still managed to get everyone done on time! All of the girls looked amazing all night, and we all received so many compliments. Definitely would recommend booking Lauren and her team for your wedding!
Lauren was so great to work with throughout my wedding and she and her team did an amazing job with everyone's hair and make up. Everyone looked so beautiful and I can't thank Lauren enough for everything!
Lauren did my makeup for my wedding on 8/30/24, and she was amazing! She’s very patient and kind. Her team was great and my bridal party all loved their hair and makeup! I’m so glad I chose Lauren for my wedding, I was very happy with how my makeup and hair turned out and received so many compliments! I would highly recommend Lauren and her team!
I’m thrilled with Lauren, Carmen and Adrianna, who worked with my bridal party on my wedding day! From start to finish, their talent and attention to detail were outstanding. They all captured each and every one of our visions perfectly. I felt absolutely stunning - my girls kept saying she made me look like an angel. <3
What really stood out to us about Lauren and her team is their fantastic personalities and passion for their work. They were not only highly skilled but also incredibly warm and fun! I could not ask for a better team to help us not only look GORGEOUS, but also feel a bit more relaxed and calm.
Their enthusiasm and professionalism made my wedding get-ready truly memorable. It was definitely one of our favorite parts of the day! If you’re seeking a team that combines exceptional artistry with a personal touch, they are absolutely the best! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Lauren and her team did hair and makeup for me (bride) and both moms for my Indian wedding and reception, and they did a fantastic job! Before my hair and makeup trial, I sent Lauren ideas and inspiration photos of what I wanted, and she made my vision a reality on both the trial day and my wedding day. I received compliments throughout the day for both my ceremony and reception looks, and I felt so beautiful all day!
Lauren's team who worked with my mom and my now husband's mom were incredible as well. Not only did they work seamlessly with both moms to do their hair and makeup to best suit each mom's outfits and personalities, but they also took the time to chat with me and help calm my nerves before the events.
I would highly recommend Lauren and her team for bridal hair and makeup, especially for South Asian weddings. They know what they are doing, and I couldn't be happier with how I looked on my wedding day!
Lauren and her team were incredible! Not only is she the sweetest and so easy to get along with, she and her team made myself and all my girls look gorgeous! My makeup and hair stayed the whole night! Even after crying for hours, you could not even tell. So reasonably priced and does an incredible job!
Lauren was so fun to work with! She is incredibly talented, professional, and an all around amazing person. She made sure everything was perfect, and it certainly was! My hair and makeup lasted all night (and I danced ALOT). I cannot recommend Lauren and her team enough! I would 100% book her for future events!
Lauren & team, I cannot thank you enough for making me and my girls feel so beautiful for my wedding events. I have worked with Lauren multiple times in the past for prior events, and I knew had to hire her for my hair & makeup for my wedding. Lauren can execute any look you ask for with perfection, from soft glam to full glam, from updos to glam waves. For my wedding day, we had two ceremonies (a Hindu & a Traditional Western ceremony). Lauren literally transformed my morning look of an updo & red lip to a gorgeous traditional bridal makeup & glam waves for my reception at night. Everyone complimented me on how beautiful my hair & makeup was throughout my wedding weekend and I am so thankful to had have Lauren the entire time. Adrianna, Isabele, Joy, and Stef were also amazing and made my bridesmaids & Mom look absolutely beautiful. Most importantly, Lauren & her team are professional, prompt, kind, and efficient. Her prices are also extremely reasonable. You will not regret hiring her for your wedding. Thank you sooo much again Lauren!!
Lauren and her team did an incredible job. We were ahead of schedule which helped make getting ready relaxing, and both hair and makeup looked beautiful on all of the girls. I would absolutely recommend booking with Lauren for your wedding!! She and her scheduling team were helpful in working with me to figure out the timing for the day to make sure we were ready for photos based on my photographer's timeline.
Lauren and team were absolutely AMAZING for my June 2024 wedding. There was great communication when booking/ planning, on time day of, and executed what all of us wanted for our hair and makeup and extremely nice on top of it all. Multiple people said it was the best professional hair and makeup they have ever had. I have never looked more beautiful and was extremely happy with my finished product. Would highly recommend Lauren B and team for our wedding day!
Lauren and her team are amazing! You will not be disappointed if you book her team to bring your bridal glam dreams to life. Lauren is so sweet and makes the wedding morning so fun and easy. She truly made my bridal hair and makeup dreams come to life! She and her team are so talented! They are also on-time and reliable which is HUGE to keep your wedding morning running smoothly. All of the girls looked fantastic, were happy with their hair and makeup looks, and everything held up like it was freshly done from 8am until the night was over! Would highly recommend her and her team to all brides!
Lauren and her team were the best!! I loved how my makeup turned out! All my bridesmaid were so pleased with their hair and makeup and it all lasted all day! Much more affordable than others in the area too! Would absolutely recommend!!
Lauren and her team recently did my bridal/ bridal party hair and makeup for my March 8th wedding. Let me start by saying they are the best of the best! So kind, professional, and talented. Our hair and makeup was exactly what we wanted and lasted all night long. They stuck to our schedule and even fit in an extra service ! Thank you Lauren for making me feel my absolute best on my wedding day!
Lauren was absolutely amazing! I cannot thank her enough for making me feel absolutely beautiful the day of my wedding. My bridal party also felt so beautiful. Lauren answered any questions I had and was so easy going. She put my mind at ease and any concerns I had, she listened to me and truly helped. Lauren is so professional and I cannot recommend her enough. I have 2 friends that booked her later this year she was so amazing! Thank you Lauren!
Lauren made me feel like an absolute queen on my wedding day! I cannot say enough good things about her and her team! I was a little worried about my hair from my trial, but it was absolutely stunning on my wedding day. My makeup was EXACTLY what I wanted. She is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend booking her for your day!
I cannot recommend Lauren enough! She is truly the best and the absolute sweetest! So is everyone on her team! She listened to exactly what I wanted and my concerns (my natural hair does not hold a curl well). Not only did my hair and makeup come out better than I imagined, but stayed perfect the entire day! All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup as well! I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments all night long! If you're thinking about hiring Lauren for your wedding, do it!!!
Lauren and her team made my girls and I look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! On the day of the wedding Lauren and her team were extremely prompt and kept everyone on schedule, allowing us to all breathe easy and not stress throughout the wedding morning. At my trial she recommended I get hair extensions I was on the fence about and wow was she right! They completely elevated the look and with Lauren's expertise I looked and felt like royalty. My hair and makeup lasted the entire night, even after jumping and thrashing around dancing for hours.
We got married on 1/14/24 and used Lauren and her team for hair and makeup! I had my trial with Lauren in November and absolutely loved how my hair and makeup looked. Fast forward to wedding day and somehow Lauren made my hair and makeup look even better than the trial! She was very easy to work with and really delivered. Her prices are also very reasonable! Thank you Lauren!
Hair and Makeup- Lauren Berlingeri - 10/10. Lauren is so sweet and everyone who works with her is too! She was super accommodating with the many changes in increasing and decreasing the number of services from when we booked her. My mom and I did a trial in July and she let us push the final amount of services deadline until after we had the trial. Day of she was just as kind- prompt, professional and my hair and makeup lasted all day and all night. My hair actually lasted a whole shower later too!
Lauren is the ABSOLUTE BEST HMUA ever!! There is not a doubt in my mind that she was the perfect HMUA for my wedding. So starting from the beginning, I was searching on instagram for HMUAs and Lauren had done 2 of my mutual friends (one of them was my old college roommate who does really amazing makeup so I knew that was a good sign).
I had a trial with her in December 2022 and guys, it was so pretty. I even had my save the date photoshoot right after and I was outside like 4+ hours in the cold and wind and that makeup did not budge. I didn't even want to take it off when we got home because it was so nice.
Fast forward to my wedding weekend (we had a catholic/filipino wedding and an indian wedding). Lauren and her team were with us for 3 days and 4 looks for me. I had a party of 4-5 people getting makeup. We were waking up very early like 2:00AM/2:30AM but Lauren and her team were so friendly and so easy to talk to. A definite must for me since 1) it's so early before the sun was even up 2) you need good vibes for your big day.
I had 4 looks for the wedding. I was able to do different makeup looks every day with different color eyeshadows, different lip colors, even different eyeliner looks. I did Hollywood waves (using Bellami extensions), a braided side pony, a bun, and a half up half down number with a tiara. She can literally do anything and everything and you can definitely have it all.
I would 110% recommend Lauren as your HMUA. She's bubbly and super nice and will make you feel even more beautiful than you ever thought you could. Honestly, at the end of the wedding weekend, we really did become friends because she's just that great. You better book her ASAP because she's a superstar.
Lauren and her team traveled up to Hudson, NY for my NYE wedding. I can’t say enough good things about her, her team and their work. She made me look absolutely beautiful. She listened to what I wanted and perfectly executed my look. She did and incredible job on MOB/MOG and the bridesmaids loved their looks as well (done by Nikita “Nunu” and Yanell). I would highly recommend all three of them to any bride with zero hesitation. Thank you so so much 💛💛💛
Lauren and her team were so great to work with. They were professional, punctual and so talented. My entire bridal party, moms, and myself looked and felt so beautiful on the wedding day!
Lauren was an exceptional HMU that made me look and feel incredible for all my wedding events. I cannot get over how obsessed I am with the overall looks and seeing the pictures after make me even more impressed with her work. Please hire her for all your wedding events she will KILL it!
Lauren is just amazing at what she does! I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments on my hair and makeup for the wedding. The moms and sister-in-law also loved their makeup! Her team did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and they were also just so wonderful! The bridesmaids mentioned how the team did great on giving them what they were hoping for!
I recently had the pleasure of having Lauren as my wedding makeup artist, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible experience she provided. From the moment I first contacted her, Lauren exuded professionalism and warmth, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.
Lauren went above and beyond to ensure that not only I but also my entire bridal party felt absolutely amazing on my special day. Her expertise and knowledge in the world of makeup are truly unparalleled. What sets her apart is her keen understanding of how to enhance natural beauty without going overboard. She took the time to understand each person's unique features, resulting in makeup that felt both glamorous and authentically 'us.'
One of the things that impressed me most about Lauren was her attention to detail. She didn't just apply makeup; she crafted a personalized, flawless look for each member of the bridal party. From the subtle highlights to the perfect blend of colors, every detail was executed with precision.
Beyond her exceptional skills, Lauren's calming presence added an extra layer of comfort on what could have been a hectic morning. She navigated the wedding day chaos with ease, ensuring that everyone looked and felt their absolute best. Lauren's passion for her craft and dedication to her clients truly shone through.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to any bride-to-be or anyone in need of professional makeup services. She is not just a makeup artist; she is an artist who understands how to capture and enhance the natural beauty of each individual. Thank you, Lauren, for contributing to the magic of my wedding day. You are a true gem, and I am so grateful to have had you as part of my special day!
Lauren and her team were absolutely amazing on my wedding day 10/29/23. I had 2 trials with her over the summer since I has very indecisive on my look for my wedding day. Lauren was very responsive and easy to schedule with, both trials were great! On the wedding day she did such an amazing job, she really took her time to make my hair and makeup look PERFECT! She is truly so sweet and amazing at her job, she even stayed to do touch ups and change my hair for my second ceremony/reception. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day, I am so grateful to have found her. Everyone on her team was also great too, all my bridesmaids and mom & mother in law looked beautiful and kept raving about how great their hair & makeup looked. I highly recommend Lauren if you are looking for someone so kind, professional and amazing at all things glam 🩷🩷🩷
I didn’t have any issues with Lauren but she wouldn’t reply to some of my emails that I sent which was frustrating. I asked for updated pricing twice and only got it the morning of my wedding. That being said, her prices are incredibly reasonable and I would still work with her and team again. Stef who did my make up was incredible. It held up all day and the only touch up I had to do was my lipstick! I loved the way I looked all night even at the after party which is all I truly could ask for. She looked at my photos from my trial and made some suggestions for changes that really made me feel my best that day. Stef was so great to work with and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again.

Hey Kaitlyn,
So happy you loved your makeup ! I have addressed these concerns with my assistant and thanks to your feedback we have come up with ways we can provide the updated balance attached to the schedules we send out to future brides, s...
o this doesn’t happen again.
I sincerely apologize for the delays in messages
As it’s been such a crazy busy bridal season.
Congratulations again 💕
Lauren and her team were fabulous. We had our wedding on 9/29/23 in Middletown, NY. Lauren is so sweet, gentle, and supportive. I really had no idea what I wanted for my hair, so Lauren worked with me to figure out the perfect style and she came up with the most gorgeous look! My hair was so perfect, literally like out of a magazine. And all my girls looked incredible! Looking at pictures, I do not even recognize myself. Lauren just makes you feel so beautiful, something I really did not think was possible because I have never liked having my make up or hair done. When I was preparing to be a bride, I just looked at so many others on Instagram and thought, ugh, I hope I can look and feel how these brides do! I did not think I would... but omg Lauren just turns you into a total knock out! Lauren and her team absolutely blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, skill, and actually, their senses of humor!! They had us laughing and smiling, which was really touching the morning of my wedding given some upsetting family news. I'm so grateful to have found Lauren and I know anyone who books with her will be as well!! xoxo Kelly
I am on our honeymoon and looking through our wedding pictures. Lauren made me look like the best version of myself. I LOVED my hair and makeup - she absolutely nailed the look I was going for and even exceeded it. My mom and bridesmaids looked beautiful as well. Her team was amazing! They were on time, stayed on schedule and made us look incredible all day. I can’t wait to see the rest of our pictures and admire the beauty she created! I am beyond happy we hired Lauren and her team. Top tip: Hire Lauren to stay and do touch ups throughout your big day. It’s a game changer and totally worth it.
Lauren and her team were so great to work with! I booked her for hair after I had already found a MUA for my wedding day but I do believe her and her team would have been great with makeup as well just based off of photos from past brides. Lauren was the sweetest during my trial and was so easy to talk to and so talented. She perfected my boho bridal bun vision I had for my wedding day and my trial and I was so thrilled with how it came out and stayed in place all night! She also did my moms trial ahead of the wedding day, because my mom was concerned with the texture of her hair and thinness about how it would come out and she offered advice for her and was able to pull off a look she loved. Definitely recommend!
I cannot rave enough about Lauren and her team. They were the highlight of our morning on July 7,2023.
So professional and talented! And I must add, extremely patient. (They didn’t even panic when the power went out and we all went on a frantic search for the switch board!)
The space that we all got ready was a bit more unique, and the team adapted so well. It made me feel at ease.
Every bridesmaids, moh and mob got exactly what they envisioned. The artists listened to everyone’s wishes. As a bride, I adored how I looked and it’s all thanks to Lauren. Everything was perfect!
I cannot wait to work with Lauren and her team again in the future!!
I can’t say enough great things about Lauren!! She is so incredibly sweet and she’s truly amazing at what she does. She was great to work with, very knowledgeable & understanding! I don’t usually wear a lot of make up, but she made me feel naturally beautiful! All of my girls were VERY happy with their make up too! HIGHLY recommend her, she’s the best!!
Lauren is an absolute gem in the world of wedding hair and makeup. From the initial consultation to the big day, she exceeded all expectations. Her attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched.
On my wedding day, Lauren and her team arrived punctually with a calming presence, making the entire bridal party feel like superstars. Her work not only looked stunning but lasted flawlessly throughout the day and night.
What sets Lauren apart is her ability to make you feel both beautiful and confident. She's not just an artist but a friend who genuinely cares about making your wedding dreams come true.
I can't thank Lauren enough for making my day magical. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride-to-be seeking a fairytale transformation.
Lauren and her team were absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend her enough!! My hair and makeup was STUNNING and lasted all night- even after dancing and sweating all night. My mom & MIL, who are both very picky with makeup, both raved about how gorgeous their makeup was.
I used Lauren for my bridal hair & makeup and her team for all of my bridesmaids and could honestly not be happier. She is truly so talented at what she does. It is almost impossible for my hair to hold any curl so I reached out to her before my wedding day and she gave me recommendations on what extensions to use. She applied them on my wedding day and my hair lasted all night! She truly made me feel so beautiful and I am forever grateful! Thank you Lauren!!
Lauren is the BEST. No exaggeration. I had a diverse bridal party and Lauren and her hair and makeup team were A1. Every single bridesmaid was absolutely floored by the hair and makeup team. Not only did they get their hair and makeup exactly like what the brides maids wanted, but they were also a vibe to hang and chill with. Not to mention sooooo chill with doing touch ups on hair and makeup especially when we decided to practice some line dances and got all sweaty jumping around. LOL But as the Bride, I cannot even express how thankful and shocked I was with how Lauren made me look like a literal Goddess. I never wear makeup a lot and I’ve always been super insecure about my looks and with the stress of wedding planning it definitely exacerbated my body dysmorphia. But on my wedding day… It was probably the first time I thought that I looked truly gorgeous. Some people say you never look better than you do on your wedding day and Lauren made that happen for me.
I did a makeup and hair trial with her probably 8 months before my wedding and I was iffy about the hair and wanted a second hair trial but I was too busy to book one before the wedding. So I came in anxious and sent Lauren so many inspo pics of the vibe i wanted for my hair. I have no idea what I was worried about because damn it came out better than any pinterest inspo pic I had found. And she was so calm and comforting even though I had blasted her phone with all those pinterest pics haha.
Also during the makeup and hair trial let me tell you, she makes you feel so comfortable to be around that you end up pouring your heart out to her. Definitely the added therapy session I needed LOL.
There is nothing bad I can say about Lauren and her team they were perfect! Every thing you want in a hair and makeup team! And deff the kinda people that can vibe with you for 6 hours.
Also for the brides out there worried about the blush being too much?? It’s not. TRUST ME that Lauren knows what she’s doing. My photos looked spectacular, and yes she was right the blush fades first BUT it’s worth it for those first look and ceremony pics. BUT THE MAKEUP AND HAIR get BETTER as the night goes on! I kept getting compliments that “how are you getting hotter” “ how does your hair and makeup look even better now”. Like my makeup stayed till I took it off early the next morning. It survived crying and sweating and a little bit of rain. My hair had never looked better and even though i had it down the whole time, there was no birds nest mess at the end of the night my hair stayed so perfect. Glam and flow-y. Also I am not one to put lipstick on so obviously I forgot to reapply the personal lippy that she left me. But just like my makeup and hair, my lip color stayed strong through all the kisses and shots taken.
Book her you won’t regret it!
I wish I could give her a million stars. Lauren is so amazing. She literally made me feel like the most glamorous person. She did exactly what I showed her and made it even better. You won’t find a sweeter more talented person than Lauren. Thank you Lauren for truly making my wedding hair and makeup dreams come true.
Lauren and her team did the hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and bridesmaids and they all looked FABULOUS! Lauren is super easy to work with and accommodated changes during my trial. I wasn't used to wearing so much makeup but now looking at my wedding photos, it looked so natural and beautiful on camera. I went for Hollywood waves and Lauren suggested getting extensions to make it look fuller. I kept getting compliments all night about how glamorous I looked and can't thank Lauren and her team enough for making me and my bridal party look like queens!
Not only did Lauren and her team do an absolutely FABULOUS job with me and my bridal party’s makeup and hair, but they all came in, and you’d think we had all been friends for years! She made me and my favorite ladies feel so comfortable, and BEAUTIFUL! Our makeup and hair lasted the entire evening, and I danced the night away in August with a Hollywood wave style hairdo. Her products are clean, organized, and can match any skin tone. She worked beautifully with my spray tan. I had a trial with her, about a month before the wedding. She asked me if I’d like anything changed, and while I did not have any major changes, the little details I did have notes for, were changed with PERFECTION on the wedding day. I have never felt so beautiful and so calm, as I did on my wedding day with her as my artist. I can’t wait to get all my photos back and relive this beautiful day. I owe my confidence to her artistry! I could go on and on, but do yourself a favor and book this talented team!
Lauren and her team done an amazing job to make my girls, my mom and MIL look amazing on my wedding day! I am so glad my matron of honor recommended her to me! Lauren did an amazing job on my hair & make up and my hair & makeup trials with her was worth it! She is so nice & kind and she helped me calmed down a bit when I was feeling stressed. She is a wonderful person inside and out! If I have another event, she is definitely my go to person! Thank you for making me and everyone beautiful! You are truly the best!
Lauren was phenomenal. As a South Asian bride, it was important for me to find someone who did makeup to match my skin tone well and was familiar with jewelry setting. Lauren did not disappoint!! She was on time, extremely professional, so patient, and above all very kind. I would recommend her in a heart beat.
Working with Lauren for my wedding was very challenging. I would not suggest her for any South Asian bride. My worst memories from my wedding are actually having to get ready because I never felt like she had my best interest and she is not trained for South Asian brides. There are countless occasions where she made me feel bad for what I wanted because its not what most brides want. For one of my looks she did a high pony that I hated and told me only confident girls can pull off this look - just not how you talk to a bride. She is also worried about the time and effort certain looks take for her and will make you feel bad if you don't like something. She also failed completely with Indian outfits and my family ended up fixing everything she did. Additionally, we were 1 hour late since she couldn't get a simple net dupatta right which meant I had to skip my family photos. No South asian bride should have to deal with the stress that she caused on my wedding day. Overall, I spent my time getting ready with her managing her emotions. While she may be good at American brides, she really failed for a South Asian bride.
Response from the Vendor on 08/01/2023
Hey Shilvi,
Once again I’m so sorry to hear how dissapointed you were for your wedding. Since you are writing this on my platform I need to point a few things out because I still think I could be a good fit for some South Asian brides for make...
up and hair.
For your trial, you had me stay for over an hour for you to try different ways to drape your duppata in front of your family, which I do not include in my trial and never had a South Asian bride do that before. This is one of the many things where you had me waiting and I did not say or charge for any extra time. I stayed with a smile on my face and offered suggestions
When I did the high ponytail half up half down for your Sangeet, it was a suggestion I gave to you because you were extremely upset with your waxer for making a mistake with your sideburns and you wanted to hide it. That was something I could not fix for you and did not have the ability to do so in the time frame we had initially planned for. I never told you confident girls are the only ones who can wear the look- I would never say this, I might of said glam girls can wear it, which is just the type of verbiage I use to describe a more intricately styled look. You also made me wait about 45 minutes to make up your mind on the hairstyle and then began to give me feedback while I was still in the process of doing it on how horrible the look I suggested was, which took time away from the draping. I apologize to you having to miss family pictures on this night, I truly could not plan for the missed time throughout the process.
To clear up the wedding day, your hair and makeup was exactly what you wanted- natural makeup and the hair was styled perfectly in a bun. You were 30 minutes late to The Rockleigh on your wedding morning so that did push your time back a little, but I believe you and I were both satisfied with the outcome for hair and makeup . For the reception, again, you were over a half hour late to your allotted time. When something like this happens, I can only do so much in the time given to me. However I believe again, we both were very satisfied with the entire look besides the height of your swoop that we ended up pulling down.
Unfortunately yes, I had a hard time draping since you were very particular and had a very hard material to pleat the night of your sangeet, I didn’t realize I never worked on that material before . I included this service free to you since I wanted to learn more after taking a few classes and having some success with other South Asian brides in the past. However, I will admit I’m not a professional Draper and since then I told my South Asian brides I will not be providing this free service anymore.
You didn’t pay me the rest of the balance which basically covered your whole Sangeet look and part of your wedding look .
I am truly very sorry you and I didn’t connect, I had to share my side and hope you understand where I am coming from. This does not happen often to me but you seemed impossible to please and I honestly tried my hardest all of your events.
Lauren is so so sweet and was fun to chat with during my trial and the wedding day. And she is SO Talented. I loved my makeup! I don’t wear a ton of makeup but she was able to glam me up in a way that made me feel beautiful. I loved how she did my eye makeup especially, and my husband loved the eyelashes. She did individual eyelashes and it looked so realistic on me! It also lasted all day in the summer heat and tears!
I also really wanted a side braid, providing lots of inspiration, and she made created a braid even prettier than any of the Pinterest examples! Everyone told me how much I looked like a princess! And I felt like it! She pulled it off and did it on schedule. My bridesmaids and mom also loved their makeup and the hair with her assistant Joanna who was SO fast! We finished ahead of schedule! I would definitely book her again!
Her prices for weddings were also reasonable compared to many others I had received quotes from.
Lauren was so great to work with. She made it so easy-- she was easy-going, clear with communication, and fun to have in the room while we were all getting ready! She is truly an artist with her hair and makeup skills. She was able to make everyone (young and old) look and feel amazing, tailoring to our different needs and wants. And everything stayed late into the night, even through sweating buckets and dancing for hours!
Lauren and her team were truly amazing to work with. I did both my hair and makeup with Lauren, including my trial. Both experiences could not have been more perfect. She really listened to my wants and needs, and gave helpful input based on my inspiration photos. After my trial, I sent her a few adjustments and she was completely receptive to everything! She truly went above and beyond to make my day special and make sure my hair and makeup were exactly how I envisioned. My bridesmaids and all the women were stunning and truly pleased with their results as well. The team was extremely kind, fun to be around, and worked unbelievably fast! Not only did all of our hair and makeup turn out perfect, but we had a blast along the way thanks to Lauren and her team. I would absolutely recommend her and use her and her team again if the special occasion arises.
Lauren is the absolute best! A plus is that she is she affordable but she uses all high end makeup and does an amazing job. She perfected full glam makeup but still made it feel/look so natural. She is great to consult with and is patient with anything you want to ask/try. NOT TO MENTION SHE IS THE SWEETEST PERSON EVER!!!
Her team was the best too! They were able to get 9 girls ready even before schedule. Some girls were finished with hair and makeup by 9 am and until midnight their hair and makeup lasted. They created amazing, relaxing vibes while everyone got ready and really started the wedding day off on the right foot.
I would recommend Lauren to anyone for any bridal/special event glam needs!
Oh my gosh, my hair and makeup with Lauren was AMAZING! I got multiple compliments on my makeup, including from my wedding coordinator who sees brides all the time. I even gave my coordinator Lauren's contact info for her own wedding! She also did a stunning job doing my mother's makeup, and her assistant Simona did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids as well. I am so glad I went with her!
Lauren was very easy to work with and her prices were beyond reasonable. I loved my trial, but the day of I asked for a few changes she executed my vision to perfection. My hair and make up lasted all night and photographed beautifully. She and her team did an amazing job on my entire wedding party's hair and make up.
Lauren and her team are amazing! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She was so flexible and kind throughout the entire process. I tend to be indecisive so I did two hair trials and she was very helpful and understanding! She was always on time and professional. 10000/10 would recommend!
Lauren Berlingeri is a fantastic vendor to work with in Northern NJ! As someone who does not have much experience with hair and makeup and had a semi-large bridal party (8 bridesmaids and 3 mothers/mother-in-laws), I was concerned about finding a makeup artist at a reasonable cost and who could accommodate a variety of women's preferences and needs. Lauren and her team provided amazing hair and makeup services, as well as a really fun and pleasant atmosphere to get started on the morning of the wedding. Lauren and her team were very calm, timely, flexible with each girl, and everyone was so happy by the time it was time to leave. We received many compliments by our guests, and everyone, including myself, felt really "themselves" all glammed up. I would highly recommend Lauren and her team to our friends and family!
Where do I even begin with Lauren! Her and her team are incredibly talented at what they do and hands down Lauren is one of the best makeup and hair stylists I have ever seen. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, beyond sweet and funny. I had her do both my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot, bridal shower and wedding and she exceeded my expectations each and every time! If you are looking for someone that has the ability to listen and make you feel like she has a magic wand she is your artist. She knows how to work with each person’s unique features and when she is done you will feel ready to take on whatever event feeling and looking beautiful. Lauren made my makeup and skin look flawless for each event especially my Wedding! I received so many compliments the day of my wedding and still do now a week later!!! I’m beyond grateful for her and knowing that I now have a new found friend in her as well! I can’t imagine going to any other makeup/ hair artist other than her going forward! I will recommend her again and again to anyone interested! Don’t walk but run to book her! You won’t be disappointed!
Lauren and her team are absolutely amazing!!!! I cannot recommend them more! Joanna did my hair and Steph did my makeup. They were so professional and friendly! I felt so comfortable and confident in them! ❤️
Lauren was INCREDIBLE. She was communicative, sent me a number of photos from her portfolio and video called with me, drove to my house for both my engagement shoot and wedding hair and makeup trial, and was all around extremely talented with both white and South Asian women hair and skin. All you need to know is I took a number of photos in the heat, wind, and rain (it was quite the day), yet never needed powder or hairspray touch-ups. HIRE HER!
Words can not describe how much of a joy it was to have Lauren and her team do hair and make up for my wedding on 3/31.
I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My hair and make up was an absolute dream!
Lauren is incredibly professional, timely, and clearly passionate about making sure a bride feels beautiful on her special day. Her whole team did such an amazing job ensuring that everyone looked great!
From the moment I sent an inquiry on her Instagram, I knew I wanted Lauren to be a part of my day- and I’m so glad she was! During my trial, she listened to my ideas and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. On the morning of the wedding, she was detailed and made sure everyone was happy with the service they received.
Lauren and her team were an absolute dream to work with. They are all so sweet, patient, and extremely professional. The bridesmaids & moms all looked incredible and loved their hair/makeup. They were willing to make any changes necessary the day of to make everyone feel and look incredible--they were even able to add someone the morning of, which I can only assume is because they are so timely. My hair & makeup looked, even more, amazing than I could have imagined and it lasted all night long! The getting ready morning went so smoothly and it was all because of how professional, pleasant, and genuinely caring she and her team is. I can't thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone!
Lauren, Steph & Isabelle did an INCREDIBLE job! I was blown away by how smooth the process was working with them and the final outcomes were gorgeous. They had a great foundation with the samples that I provided but truly made each of my bridesmaids stand out in their own special way. Such beautiful work.
Lauren. I can't thank enough for the hairstyle that she created and the makeup that she perfected. Truly looked more amazing than anything I could have asked for. Everything was perfect.
North & Central (yes it exists) Jersey brides, look no further. You are in GREAT hands with Lauren & her team. I'm always leery of 5 star reviews, thinking nothing can ever be that perfect... well I was pleasantly wrong with all my wedding vendors, and Lauren was one of them. From the day I first contacted Lauren till the moment I walked down the aisle, she was easy to talk to and made sure I both looked and felt my best. I did a trial with her wich is a great idea as we had something to start with and tweak based off of for the big day. I was most worried about staying on time to be ready for pictures and making sure my mom, a tomboy like me, felt her best too. EVERYTHING was perfect, everyone looked beautiful and best of all our hair and makeup held all night long. You can't go wrong with Lauren as your stylist!
Everyone's hair & makeup was PERFECT on my wedding day. Even my mother, who never wears makeup loved how she looked. We got through everyone on time, and we really felt like Lauren was part of the crew.
Lauren and her team were an absolute DREAM. Her work is amazing, down till every last detail whether its a strand of hair, hair tie, lip gloss etc. She makes you feel like an absolute princess on your wedding day. Her team is amazingly efficient and just as talented too. They are able to work with every type of hair and skin color making every bridesmaid, MIL, etc look and feel like their best glammed self. I would recommended her 10000/10 times, over and over again!
Lauren was the best vendor choice that I had made for my entire wedding. I am blown away by the amazing work that she did for my bridal hair and makeup as well as for my bridal party. Lauren and her team, Joanna and Steph, did incredible work and made us into masterpieces. I am personally still at awe at how perfect she made my hair and makeup look. The volume that remained in my hollywood waves through the entire day does not lie!! Thank you for taking such great care of me and my very large bridal party and family (10+ people), and especially for taking great care of my very panicked and notoriously late mom, lol. The morning went so smoothly and it was all because of how professional, pleasant, and genuinely caring she and her team is. I can't thank her enough.
Lauren and her team are simply amazing! I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, thanks to their incredible hair and makeup skills. Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with - she was so sweet and patient, and really listened to what I wanted. I changed my mind about my look after my trial, and Lauren was so accommodating and made sure that everything was perfect on the day of my wedding. My hair stayed in place all night, and my makeup held up until the very end - even after all the dancing and celebrating! Lauren and her team are true professionals, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for gorgeous, long-lasting hair and makeup. Thank you, Lauren, for making me feel like a goddess on my wedding day!
Lauren and her team were an absolute dream hair & makeup artist for my wedding! She's extremely professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The bridesmaids & moms all looked incredible and loved their hair/makeup. My hair & makeup looked even more incredible than I could have imagined and it lasted all night long!
Honestly, I do not even know where to begin. Five stars actually isn’t even enough. Lauren Berlingeri is amazing and so is her entire team! I had a bridal hair and makeup trial with Lauren back in December and was blown away. I was even more blown away on the actual wedding date. My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed in place all night. My bridesmaids looked incredibly beautiful too. Lauren knows exactly what products to use on a variety of skin types and tones. So much skill and attention to detail. She brought two other team members with her and they were amazing too. Everyone loved their looks. We had such a fun day hanging out with her team in the bridal suite - everyone was so friendly, flexible and knowledgeable and you could just sense their dedication and passion to their work. Each team member was on time and we stayed perfectly on schedule. I can honestly say you cannot go wrong with hiring Lauren and her team. She is truly the best. Thank you for starting my wedding day off perfectly and for making me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt !!!!
Cannot recommend Lauren and her team enough! She was very easy to talk to, sent a detailed order for her plan before the day of my wedding, and showed up on time! My bridal party was a mix of all different races and everyone came out beautiful! My dad also fell 2 days before my wedding, had a HUGE black eye (talk about stress for me, but hey it’s a story!) and her team was able to make it like it never even happened! Incredible group. Lauren is amazing. Her work is gorgeous. Please book her now.
I could not recommend Lauren enough! Look no further for an amzing hair and makeup artist. Lauren was so sweet to work with, made sure I was happy with the finished product and made me feel like a princess! She is incredibly talented and I could not have asked for better hair and makeup for my wedding day. I showed her what I wanted for my hair and she delivered perfectly. The makeup was gorgeous and it lasted all night!! It stayed on through all the dancing and happy tears. Lauren and her team will not disappoint!! Even my bridesmaids'/ my mom's hair and makeup lasted all night and looked stunning! My girls had so much fun with her team. Highly recommend Lauren and if given the chance to book her again I would in a heartbeat!
Please trust me when I say look NO further for hair & makeup for your wedding day. Save yourself the time and book Lauren today. My experience with her from start to finish was nothing short of wonderful. I spoke with dozens of artists and I chose Lauren not only because of her solid reputation (the reviews and photos speak for themselves) but because of her authenticity in our initial conversations. If you’re anything like me when it comes to spending $$, you also care about the experience/who you’re working with and not just the final product. Lauren blew everyone else I spoke with out of the water with her authenticity, professionalism, and lovely personality. She was excellent with communication throughout the whole process, extremely patient with my bridal party (as we can be a tad high maintenance), and she made me feel SO relaxed during my trial and especially the day of the wedding. Between Lauren and her two assistants, they made us all feel and look like royalty. My friends are still raving about the experience and said it was hands down the best hair/makeup they’ve ever had.
Now - take a deep breath, stop your search, and inquire with her today. She books up fast with good reason🙏🏻
Lauren and her team did a great job on all of the hair and makeup for myself, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my seven bridesmaids for my wedding on 01/06/23. Lauren and her team were quick, efficient, and created looks that everyone loved and that lasted the entire day. As the bride to be, I went with a soft glam look and a textured bun that I loved and got compliments on the entire day :)
Lauren and her team were wonderful for my October wedding this year! The hair and makeup for my girls, my mother, and myself were flawless and lasted the entire night! I had never felt so beautiful after Lauren finished hair and makeup. Both came out amazing in our wedding photos! Thank you, Lauren! I highly recommend her for any event!
