Bre was kind and patient, she heard what I was nervous about without judgement and then made me feel totally relaxed and comfortable. She was patient when my wedding party had a ch...
ange and kind to everyone who sat in her chair, making everyone from an 11 year old to a 70 year old feel comfortable and heard. She's a great conversationalist and also seemed to know when someone didn't want to talk. And on top of all that - everyone looked gorgeous and felt beautiful. Bre is a find.
I could not have been happier with Bre, Val, and the whole experience working with Leather & Lace. Bre made my mess of curls look incredible and my makeup beautifully natural. I fe...
lt like a glam version of myself, but importantly still myself, quirks and all. On top of that she was kind, down to earth, and fun to spend time with. I would highly recommend working with this artist!!!
Bre was such a pleasure to work with! She and her colleague Nicole did hair and makeup for me and my girlfriends for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. They did such an amazing job- ...
I’ve never felt prettier. Bre brought my vision of natural makeup to life for my wedding and a little more sass for my rehearsal to complement my outfits. I would highly recommend working with Bre!
Bre is absolutely WONDERFUL! Bre did me and my mom’s Rehearsal hair and make-up and her and her team did everyone’s wedding day hair and I cannot recommend her enough! She is not o...
nly incredible at HMU but also extremely professional and organized! She was such a calming aspect of what can be a chaotic day, and she has such a relaxing presence about her that radiates! She was amazing with all of the girls and everyone loved her. I was OBSESSED with my updo - she absolutely nailed it and it stayed in place all day + night, even during a windy ceremony. I also kept Bre on for wedding day touch-ups and I was SO beyond grateful I did! She would recurl hair, fix strays, and retouch make-up as needed after the ceremony and during pictures. She went above and beyond and would even help hold my bouquet or take out my veil, she was literally so helpful and I am so thankful for her! If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond as well as make you and your squad look + feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day, do not hesitate and book Bre and her incredible team NOW! Thank you SO much Bre for being part of the most incredible weekend of my life 😊
Bre and her team did an amazing job with myself and the rest of my bridal party! She was so patient with me and made sure I (and everyone else) was comfortable with every part of m...
y look. I would highly recommend her!
Bre and her team were absolutely incredible!! She personally pulled off an old school hollywood glam wave style for my hair that made me cry with joy when I saw it.
Every person ...
in my bridal party was incredibly happy with their hair and makeup, even factoring in that everyone asked for different things from classic curls to intricate up-dos.
As a bonus, Bre and her two artists that took care of us were incredibly fun to hang out with for a few hours and put us all at ease. I couldn't recommend Bre enough - if you're lucky enough to get married on a day she isn't already booked for, you MUST work with her!
Bre did the bridal hair and makeup for both me and my wife on the day of our wedding. It turned out so beautifully and it stayed put the entire day. She also gave us both a touch-u...
p kit, which we barely needed to use because the makeup stayed put so well.
She was very professional and listened well to our needs. During our trial, we had told her that we don't like a heavy make-up look and both wanted more natural looks, and she designed great looks for both of us with that in mind. She was also very responsive to any questions we had leading up to the day of the wedding.
We would highly recommend Bre for hair and makeup services!
Bre was wonderful to work with! I hired her to do my (the bride’s) hair and makeup, as well as makeup for my 4 bridesmaids. Everyone looked stunning! Not only that but all of my br...
idesmaids mentioned how much they enjoyed just talking to Bre. I would highly recommend booking her.
Bre does absolutely stunning work and is a true artist! For me, it was a natural looking makeup and boy did she nail it! I still felt like myself but totally glam at the same time....
My mother also absolutely loved her make up and she is not one to be too made up, we expressed this to Bre and she totally nailed it! My Mom felt confident but not overdone! Rose her assistant was also so sweet and I was happy to have them with me on my wedding day. They even took care of me by reminding me to eat and drink, how sweet! Check out her Instagram for all of her stunning work!
BRE IS AN ARTIST. She made me and my bridal party feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves, all while being a wonderful, warm and calming presence on the day. I would rec...
ommend Bre to anyone getting married. I adore her and think she is a true genius at what she does. Thank you Bre!!!
Bre and her team were a dream come true! I have never felt more beautiful and myself than in her hands. She did an excellent job with both my hair and my makeup. I hired her for t...
ouch-ups, too, and she made me feel like an actual model.
All I can think to do now is find another event to hire her for. She is exceptional.
I highly recommend Bre and her team to make you the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day! I’ve had hair and make-up done from Bre and her team for three different...
weddings (including my own and my sister’s) and every time her work has been flawless. What I love most about their work, is that they know how to make you look great in pictures/video and in-person. You can absolutely tell that they work with photographers/fashion runways/film, their quality of work is impeccable. I’ve been to other weddings where the bride will look great in pictures, but in person the make-up looks caked on and too severe. Totally the opposite with Bre and her team, I asked for a more natural look – and they always delivered. All three times I looked like myself, but my most beautiful and glam version of myself. Even my mother, who hates all make-up (but wanted to look good for both her daughter’s wedding days) was happy with what Bre and her team did for her (aka they can even do the impossible!)
Don’t be like me – schedule with Bre as soon as you can, because other hair and make-up is now disappointing to me. For my own wedding in October 2020, I was swayed to go with somebody else because the getting ready suite was perfect for my family and wedding party. It was a bad decision – I had my trial a couple weeks before my wedding and couldn’t help comparing myself to the way Bre and her team had made me look other times. Ten days to go to my wedding, I contacted Bre to see if by a miracle she was free. She wasn’t, but she found 2 members of her team that were. Beth and Rose saved my wedding day, and I’m forever grateful to all of them for saving my wedding look.
(Specific - but if you’re a bride with curly hair, also highly recommend Bre. The first wedding that I worked with her was when I was a bridesmaid for a friend with very natural curly hair who wanted somebody who could work with it, and didn’t try to make her look different. She did such a wonderful job that my sister (who also has really curly hair) also decided she wanted Bre on her wedding day.)
Bre is a unicorn and a true artist. She sculpted my hair into a masterpiece, and my makeup was flawless and light and remained fresh all throughout a long day of laughing and cryin...
g and sweating and dancing.
Bre is funny and deep and an excellent communicator. Throughout every stage of the booking and planning process, Bre was professional and gracious.
I wish I could give Bre 10 stars. She has my highest recommendation and is worth every penny!!!
Bre is unlike any other! She is an amazingly talented makeup and hair artist. She made me feel like the most beautiful and best version of myself on my wedding day. She executed my...
vision flawlessly. Her makeup withheld a few bouts of tears too! Not only did everyone look amazing, but the process ran so smoothly and without a hitch (we had 11 people that needed hair and makeup). Hands down recommend her if you are in the Boston and surrounding area. She is absolutely the best!!
She did a great job using her professional expertise, but also made sure I was 100% happy with my hair and makeup. She is extremely talented, and a joy to work with. There's nothin...
g she can't do. I felt like a princess!
It was such an absolute pleasure to work with Bre on my wedding day as our make-up artist. Before my trial with her, I had never had my makeup professionally done before, and she i...
nstantly put me at ease with her relaxed, authentic, funny, and warm demeanor - I knew right away that I wanted her to be a part of my wedding day. She's an exceptional talent and also extremely accommodating, and helped me, all my bridesmaids, and my mom and MIL to find a makeup style that fit our dresses AND our personalities. Loved Bre and I can't recommend her highly enough!
Let me start by saying that Bre is incredible - a true talent and beautiful soul inside and out : )
I was feeling a little indecisive about my wedding hair and emailed Bre on a wh...
im when I was in Boston for a trial. She had a time slot available and I immediately felt welcome and at ease with her warm, bubbly personality. I brought a few Pinterest inspiration images and talked my vision through with her. Even the trial was a great success - I locked her down that day!
Fast forward to my wedding last Saturday, Bre was prompt, professional, and so much fun to be around. She did my hair in addition to 5 bridesmaids and my mom. She listened carefully to each of us and executed the whimsical styles perfectly. I'm amazed at how quickly she was able to work, too! I feel so lucky to have found her in my search and would use her services again for any other event in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend.
Can't thank you enough, Bre! More pictures to come soon :)

Bre did my hair and make up...as well as the hair and make up for 4.5 (3 yo flower girl) other ladies in my crew! She gave us her time for a "walk through" of the hair and make up ...
months before the wedding and we were instantly hooked. I'm not one to wear much make up so we asked her for a glow that would look natural--she absolutely crushed it. I have a signature hair style that I wanted to be highlighted but then glammed up--she nailed that too! She's personal, listens to your feedback, and very professional--but also kind and caring! We had big Texas hair represented as well as pumped up Greek locks for the mother in laws and these personalities would have said something if they didn't like it! We all loved working with Bre. Something that stood out to me as the bride was that on the wedding day we had miscalculated our numbers and Bre was in a position where she had to do a whole other ladies hair and make up...she responded with grace, patience and understanding. She got down to business and reassured us that everyone would be ready for the moment when we walk--she delivered just that. Many thanks to Bre for sharing with us her gift for hair/make up!
Bre is AMAZING! Bre did my hair and my makeup on my wedding day and I could have not been more pleased. I was so so happy with the way I looked on my wedding day. Bre is so talent...
ed at what she does I can not even begin to explain. She is also so easy going and makes you feel so comfortable, if there was ever anything you needed changed she changes it no problem and quick too! I highly recommend Bre for your special day!
Loved Bre and her assistant, Becca! They were friendly and focused and made us all look like rockstars. She even traveled to the Cape and didn't charge an additional fee, which I a...
