I had been wanting to go into the beautiful studio that is Artist Haus for years of living in East Falls and I couldn’t be happier that I did for our wedding!
Christian and Mackenzie were so fantastic to work with being extremely responsive, professional, friendly, and not to mention extremely talented!
Mackenzie and team were on time, efficient, and so great to work with for our trials as well as the day - of. My bridal party loved them and said they had never looked better than they did on our wedding day.
Highly highly recommend Artist Haus for any bride to be!!
Mackenzie is truly an artist. I knew from the jump I wanted a Bridgit Bardot style updo and soft pink makeup, and was so thrilled to come across Mackenzie’s work. I’m still marveling at pictures of myself from my wedding because I’ve never looked so beautiful and it’s all thanks to Mackenzie.
Mackenzie was great! My hair turned out exactly as envisioned and my bridesmaids loved theirs as well. Mackenzie worked with me in the months before my wedding and provided great haircuts/product recommendations.
Any questions?
Mack and her team were incredible. They were easy and so much fun to work with. Mack did an AMAZING job on my hair and makeup. It looked good from start to finish and held up beautifully all night. It also photographed beautifully, but still looked natural which was important to me. I truly have never felt so beautiful and so glad I chose Mack for my big day! 10/10 experience and highly recommend.
Mack Stylist did my hair for my wedding on May 4th, 2024 and I would definitely recommend them to others! She was great with helping me walk through different style ideas at my trial, and she always remains flexible with the plan for the day of. She put layers in my hair at my trial to make sure an updo would look its best! On the wedding day, we were working with a small get-ready space in our hotel suite and the Mack stylists were incredibly flexible and efficient with getting the job done. We had two stylists for 8 people total and they were in and out within 3 hours. Everyone loved their style, and they really embraced what each person was envisioning for themselves. There were also no style limitations put on anyone - they made your vision happen. We ended up having a rainy day, but my hair was beautiful and secure the whole time and I felt like a princess!
Mackenzie was recommended to me by a co-worker who uses her for her everyday hair styling and used her for her wedding. I started going to Mackenzie a little over a year ago for regular cuts and booked her team for my Oct 2023 wedding and everything was perfect. We had a bridal party of 7 and Mack and one assistant had us all ready and picture perfect well before necessary. I felt we were all heard as far as our needs while still maintaining a cohesive look for the wedding. 10/10 would recommend!
Mackenzie and the Mack Stylist team was so wonderful for my Fall 2023 wedding! First, Mack is thoughtful, listens to you, and also brings all her many years of expertise to the process. I knew I wanted a huge braid and had some photos. During our trial she showed me a style that was close to what I was finding in my images. Then she goes, but I also hear you saying that you want tons of volume. So how about this kind of bubble braid, which is will give us soooo much more volume than we can achieve with the styles you've picked. She really listened, showed me another style that I didn't consider, and it was so beautiful. I have gotten comments about how amazing my hair was months later.
I also got her help with getting extensions and then had Mack do my cut and color, and color match the extensions, the month before the wedding. I love that she has a salon as does weddings because she got to know me so much better through doing my hair.
We had 16 girls getting hair and make up done and we looked beautiful, were done on time, and I can't wait to see all our final photos. I will post some photos when I get them back.
TLDR: LOVE them! Am going BACK TO MACK as my hair stylist. The compliments won't stop coming about my wedding hair.
Mackenzie and her team were absolutely amazing! We had a party of 19 people, and they had everyone ready (makeup and hair) well before the deadline for photos. Going through the trail with Mackenzie was so helpful. As someone who doesn’t have much skill with hair and makeup, Mackenzie walked me through the process and tried several different styles. Day of the wedding, Mackenzie and her whole team were so professional. They were onsite by 7:30 to get the ball rolling. They worked so well with my whole party accommodating different hair and skin types to make sure everyone looked their best. And on top of that my hair and makeup stayed looking great throughout the whole night. I could not recommend enough using Mackenzie for your upcoming wedding!!
MACK!!!! The team was amazing, we used them for our hair and makeup stylist and everyone looked beautiful. It was so fun to have them a part of our special day; Mack knows her stuff and I trust her implicitly. Book them!!!!

Hi Chelsey and thank you for this great review and for sharing these awesome pics! It was such a pleasure to work with you and your bridal party. Cheers!
Mackenzie is so talented! I love her creativity. My vail was super heavy and she was able to create a great look for me to support the vail. The makeup was amazing as well and lasted all night. Highly recommend!

It was a pleasure working with you, Alina! Thanks so much for this positive review and for booking with us. Best wishes!
Mackenzie and her team were absolutely FANTASTIC for my wedding needs in October, 2022. For a group of 9, we started at 7:00am and Mack Stylist had us ready to go by 11:30am. They had a vision for us and everyone was extremely happy with their makeup and hair. Her team was bubbly and easy to talk to the entire morning, which is always nice to have on your wedding day! Extremely affordable and a trustworthy vendor! Give Mack Stylist a try!
Mackenzie, Gabriella, and the team were amazing! They made the whole bridal party look and feel beautiful. The team is so talented, professional, and fun to spend the day with!
Working with Mack and her team was an absolute dream! They are all so incredibly patient and talented. I was torn between a few styles and thanks to their honesty and amazing eye for styling, the whole team made sure I was a vision walking down the aisle. I have never felt more beautiful than I did in my wedding day! If you haven’t booked yet - DO IT!
I’m really sadden to have to be writing this, as I had been using Makenzie as a hair stylist for over a year before my wedding, and was always really happy with the results. Unfortunately, this did not translate for my wedding day.
It started with my hair trial which was canceled on me twice. The first time was with 1-days notice. We were able to reschedule on a Sunday, a day the salon isn’t typically open but they were willing to accommodate me, which I appreciated. That Sunday I showed up and sat outside the salon for an hour. No one showed up, and since the salon was technically closed no one was answering my phone calls. It turns out they wrote down my appointment for the wrong day, so now we were rescheduling for the third time..
My trial was squeezed in 2 weeks before my wedding. They suggested I do it at the end of my final cut/ color appointment, which we did. By the time we started my trial it was nearly 8 PM and Makenzie seemed checked out. I showed her multiple pictures and tried to talk through what I wanted, but she clung on to one photo/ look and went with only that, which looked terribly (the contract includes 2-3 looks btw).
On the day of my wedding Makenzie showed up 45 minutes late. When she finally arrived she proceeding to take her time getting ready, grabbing coffee/ breakfast, all while my bridal party had been sitting there since 6:30 AM waiting to get ready. We had an initial consult, and Makenzie was pretty unhelpful in bringing my vision to life. I wanted a low bun with my veil underneath, but she assured me this could only happen with a high bun. The results were a low bun with my veil on top, and my veil was incredibly too short (as it was meant to go underneath the bun - and I was able to find plenty of examples of this after my wedding).
Makenzie eventually began my hair at 11 AM when I needed to be dressed at 12 PM (the morning got away from me, but I feel like it should have been on her/ her team to time manage). Makenzie spent a total of 25 MINUTES on me (this is not an exaggeration). When she finished, I noted there were a few tweaks I wanted to make. Her response was “you already approved that” and “just tuck that piece you don’t like behind your ear”. In the moment I remember feeling so rushed and out of time so I just went along with it, but looking back I am in awe of the absolute lack of professionalism and attention to detail.
The makeup artists Makenzie uses are absolutely wonderful. However, when my makeup was done Makenzie added a silicone finish to my nose. This ended up MELTING OFF my face during photos and 30 minutes before my ceremony started. At this point Makenzie and her team had been gone for hours, and I was at my venue with no makeup. To say this was one of the most stressful moments would be an understatement, and certainly not something you want to experience minutes before your wedding starts.
Your wedding day is supposed to be a day you feel pampered and cared for. Makenzie completely took this experience away from me and instead of feeling calm and pampered, I felt stressed and concerned throughout the entire process. I would easily say this was my least favorite vendor to work with and she took A LOT away from my wedding day. Makenzie did provide a free cut & color after my wedding day to make up for the experience, which I appreciated, but at the end of the day I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for your wedding day hair & makeup services.
Response from the Vendor on 10/07/2022
Brittany,
In response to your review - you were coming to me as a cut & color client for a year leading up to your wedding. In the months leading up to your wedding, I experienced some serious health issues from receiving the covid vaccine tha...
t I couldn't have possibly anticipated. This took me from work and impaired the use of my hands for several months. Due to my dedication to my work, especially my brides, I really focused on wellness/rehabilitation in order to come back to work and life as I knew it as quickly as possible. I stopped booking brides to make sure I was at full potential before returning to weddings, as I realize how important a wedding day is. During this time your anxiety about me was rising, and rightfully so. I told you countless times that someone from our team would be available if, god forbid, I was not well. I assured you that you would be in good hands, no matter what. I returned to work not long before your wedding day and was beyond grateful for everyone's patience, love, and support. We created your day-of itinerary and requested you add on an assistant as your wedding was in Lancaster and you wanted a particular timeline. You refused to pay the money for additional help, $300 per assistant. Due to my preference and comfort, I decided to bring an assistant along with us anyway and pay the cost out of pocket to ensure things ran smoothly. This also allowed me to reduce my timeline with you all. Our team was up at 4:00 AM and on the road with plenty of time to arrive on time. Our 2 makeup artists and assistant arrived on time, set up, and began working right away. I arrived 30 minutes past the proposed timeline which did not include additional help. Due to you needing to control the timeline and not trusting how we operate, this made you uncomfortable for whatever reason. Either way, I arrived with ample time and 4 artists on your wedding day. I then helped Gabby, my personally trained makeup artist, understand the issue you have with your nose and pores. This truly has "always been an issue" as you stated and I wanted to explain to her how I was setting your skin. I was showing her what I was doing to secure the makeup as best I knew I could. Again, my instructing my artist made you uncomfortable. This is a medical issue you have and something you should have addressed with a dermatologist. I would recommend you still do so to help you understand why your skin rejects makeup, could be an underlying allergy. That is beside the point now. Overall, we had a blast with your bridal party. The house was beautiful, the energy was fun, light-hearted, and easy. We were way ahead of schedule, wrapped up with touchups, and left. Very soon after your wedding, you called us in regards to your makeup coming off on your nose and wanted me to reach out to your photographer. You asked me to pay for any additional retouching that you felt you needed for your comfort. I was shocked, horrified, and immediately got in touch with your photographer to see what I could do to help. The photographer then sent photos and assured me that there was no issue with your makeup at all. They said they didn't notice other than how unhappy you were with your florist, venue, and every vendor that you chose. They kept telling me that I did beautiful work and that they would back me if needed because they felt as though you would end up complaining about their photos/work as well. I get back in touch with you to try and understand but at that point, I am in a position where I'm out $300 for an assistant that you didn't want to hire as well as a timeline you dictated and photos you're unhappy with. You went on to say that I was a "better artist" before I was sick and felt as though you shouldn't be charged the amount you were quoted due to my health. I am stating this to display just how insensitive that was and the level of disrespect you were willing to treat me with. Instead of focusing on the positives - a beautiful venue, an awesome bridal party, and your wedding day - you chose to look at everything in a negative light. I feel as though that is unfortunate for you but has nothing to do with me, my level of professionalism, or the dedication that I have to you and all of my past brides/future brides-to-be. You then couldn't allow yourself to be happy with the images from your wedding, which are beautiful by the way. You continued to complain and asked for more from us after this. You mentioned to me that I didn't spend enough time on your hair, not that you weren't happy with it. You wanted me to pay for photo retouching and/or return some of your money, the photographer said it wasn't necessary and I already took a financial loss. But you were persistent and, of course, I want all of my brides to feel important as I do take my work very seriously. Instead of returning any money, I offered you a full color and haircut appointment at our studio free of charge (which holds a value of $400). You agreed and accepted my offer, we booked your appointment for a date in late August. As we approached your appointment date, you reached out to our coordinator to request to have your complimentary services booked with a different artist at my studio. If it was about time with me, why would you want to have your hair done by a different artist? Nonetheless, I did a beautiful job on your color and cut. You were happy, we called a truce, and you went on your way. Clearly, that wasn't enough. You then called the State Board of Cosmetology to report my business and now have spent the energy and time writing not one, but two, negative reviews on two separate websites. At this point, I expect to be compensated for the color/cut appointment as we did that to call a truce. It seems like you are just looking for free services and to completely destroy me and my business. The positive that I see in all this is I am thankful to have not had a bride like this in the 12 years I've been in business. I learned a lot about over-accommodating someone that is never going to be happy and being more proactive in canceling a bride when there's a clear disconnect rather than trying harder to appease them. This whole scenario has nothing to do with me, but with how you choose to look at life. I truly wish you would spend your energy looking at all the good, you are married and have a beautiful life and that is what's important. Instead of, nearly 5 months later, continuing this negativity. I wish you peace and healing and hope you shift your perspective. We will be reaching out to collect payment for your color/cut appointment with me on 8/26/22 - you never should've expected a free service in the name of peace and then continue attempting to hurt a small business. I feel taken advantage of and manipulated. I am grateful my health is back and again, learned a lot from you and what I will not do in the future. Thank you for the valuable lesson. Best, Mackenzie.
Super communication. My hair and makeup artists asked for my thoughts through my entire experience. They were so awesome and I loved my look. Thanks to the team!
My wedding coordinator recommended Mack Stylist for hair / makeup on my wedding day. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I don’t often get my hair and make up done, but Mackenzie and Gabrielle did an amazing job! They worked with me to make sure that I loved my look, listening to me and making slight adjustments. My bridesmaids and the moms looked so good, and the hair and makeup all stayed through the end of the night! Definitely recommend this team!
I could not be happier with my decision to book with Mack! Months beforehand, Mack helped me choose a color and cut that would work well on my wedding day. We also went over a few different options during the trial, which really helped me to visualize my final look. The hairstyle I ultimately chose was something Mack suggested and was very intricate and not something I would have thought of myself. On the actual wedding day, Gabbi did our makeup and Mack did our hair; they were both incredibly skilled and easy to work with. My entire bridal party loved their hair and makeup. I would definitely recommend them!
I couldn't have been happier with Mack and her team doing my hair and makeup for my wedding along with the whole bridal party. From the trial to the wedding, working with Mack was amazing. She is so talented and is a true artist with a vision - I came in to my trial with an idea of what I wanted and after getting a sense of my style, wedding dress, and venue, Mack suggested a different style that I ended up loving more than my original idea and which went so well with the vibe of my wedding - all without pressuring me and still making sure I was comfortable with it! On the day of my wedding, Mack's team did a great job of getting me, 2 moms, and 11 bridesmaids ready to go in a tight timeframe and made all of my bridesmaids look beautiful but still like themselves, which is exactly what we wanted! I'm so happy I got to work with Mack and her team and think they will make any bride feel like the most beautiful version of herself!
Mack and her team are a dream team. We had to start the day very early and they all arrived on time and ready to work. There was limited time and so many people to get through that I was nervous about our time line... but guess this we were done ahead of time!! Mack is excellent and knows her stuff. When I first met her, I went to her salon because the last person who colored my hair over processed it and it was so dead. She helped salvage my hair for the wedding with a specific treatment schedule and boy am I grateful. The day of the wedding, I loved my whole look. Gabby crushed my makeup and I got compliments all night about it and how natural it looked. Mack is honest and does offer feedback to people, and I appreciate this about her. I can't think of one person from my wedding party who didn't have rave reviews about Mack and her team. Thank You!!!!
Mackenzie is the best. She brought a team of professionals that went above and beyond to make everyone in the wedding party look amazing. We had 12 girls (bridesmaids and moms) needing hair and makeup done, which is a lot for a wedding morning. Mack and her team took their time with each girl to make a great look, and somehow still finished early! The girls all looked classic and stunning, it made me emotional. Feeling beautiful was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day, and I sincerely thank Mack and her team for that.
Mackenzie and her team...just WOW. I hired Mack Stylist to do hair and makeup for my wedding in April and I've never looked back. The professionalism of this team is unmatched. First and foremost, she knows this business inside and out. Mackenzie knows how to read the room; she understands your vibe the minute she walks in the door and she translates that into your dream hair and makeup. My girls all felt the most beautiful on my wedding day; each one of them expressed feeling like princesses. They looked flawless; the best versions of themselves. As the bride, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I generally knew what I wanted for my wedding day, but Mack filled in the blanks. She is someone to be trusted. She knows exactly what she's doing. I have gotten my makeup done before and have been disappointed, so I was worried. I am here to tell you that Mackenzie and her team eliminate the guessing and worry - they are the real deal. Worth every penny. In all honesty, this experience has changed the way I look at beauty and the way I see myself. Mack effortlessly uncovers the beauty hidden in each of her clients. I am SO GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!
I would 100% recommend Mack Stylist to all brides! From the moment we made first contact and set up our plans, to the moments before I left to head to the church for our ceremony Mackenzie was fun, creative, organized and incredibly talented. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, my husbands mom and myself had the best morning getting glammed by Mackenzie and her team! Every look was better than we had dreamed on, and the team really worked to accentuate our natural beauty. As a bride, I really enjoyed the pre-wedding process with Mack Stylist. Having the discount on services at Artist Haus salon was incredible, and made it possible for my hair to be really healthy on my wedding day. Planning and testing out styles on our trial helped me to feel confident in my style choices, and got me SO excited. Mackenzie is such a pro she truly is prepared for anything that can come up. On the day of my wedding it was completely down pouring. I kept my cool, but was bummed. Mackenzie kept the mood light and cheerful and immediately touched base with me about elements of my look I could reconsider based on the weather. My final look was better than I could have dreamed and I felt beyond confident.
If you’re considering using Mack Stylist for your wedding day DO IT!! I cannot say enough good things about Mack and her beauty team! They go the extra mile to make sure their clients are satisfied with their hair and make up on the big day! Mack also helped me when it came to my bridal hair and make up trial, giving me ideas and inspiration. If you go with Mack Stylist, I promise you won’t be disappointed! I liked Mack and her team so much that I am now a client of hers even after my big day.
Really gorgeous job on the makeup and hair, Mack could make a very natural look or a very glam look. No complaints on the quality of her work at all. The only downside was Mack worked kind of slow the day of- we were very late to our ceremony because she was rushing to finish me up (and didn't even get to my mom! one of the junior stylists did her)
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2020
Hi Cara, Thanks for your review. I am sorry I can be a bit of a perfectionist day of and hate to rush my Brides. I was not aware that our timeline was that far off of our proposed schedule. I am sorry about that and any stress that caused. I h...
ave senior artists working with me always and wish I knew how important it was to do mom's hair.Thanks for your review and mentioning how much you liked your hair and make-up, I appreciate that. Have a great 2020!
This review is coming in way late, but better than never, right? I just wanted to share my amazing experience with Mack! I had a couple not so great trials before booking Mack, and I found the biggest issue was that those vendors weren't asking questions throughout the process. From the moment I met Mackenzie, I knew I was in experienced, great hands. She really listened to me, asked a ton of questions, and was so honest. The initial look I thought I wanted just didn't work with my hair, and the second style she suggested just blew me away--and it looked even better on my actual wedding day. Day-of makeup also was incredible. I felt so, so beautiful, and I really appreciated how natural the makeup looked. I actually looked like myself, and looking through all of the wedding photos I feel nothing but gratitude. Do yourself a favor and book a trial!!
Mackenzie and her experienced team were prompt, professional, efficient, a ton of fun to be with, and, best of all, created stunning looks for everyone that held up to the heat and the wild dance party to come. We looked like ourselves, only a thousand times better! From the pictures I've seen, the make-up and hair were designed to photograph beautifully. The look was natural and flawless. The team helped the bride and bridesmaids to truly enjoy getting ready and, most importantly, they gave hope to this stressed mother of the bride that the whole day was going to be just fine. We are so fortunate that we entrusted these incredible artists with my daughter's special day!

ng you at your next appointment ! xoxox
I cannot say enough about Mackenzie and her team. I was looking for someone I felt comfortable hanging out with for hours on my wedding day and who understood my edgy style. Mack Stylist absolutely nailed it. Mack helped me color and cut my hair a few months before and then absolutely nailed my wedding day look. My makeup artist Jayduh understood my vision no problem and was so fun to be around. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and the mothers were breathtaking. But more importantly Mack and Jayduh made us really comfortable, listened to everyone, and fit in with our crew like we were getting ready for a girls night out. I can't wait for my next special event so I can book them again but will be back to the salon as often as possible.

Hi Tori!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We love working with you both in the salon and on your wedding day, we had such a great time! We can't wait to see more pictures and you back in the salon!
I searched high and low for a knockout hair / makeup artist team in Philly that I could trust, and I’m so happy I found Mack’s team. While I don’t recommend this, I booked my HMU quite late (literally weeks before our wedding), and Jen and Nicole were amazing. Jen is hands down the best makeup artist I came across after a number of other trials. She has a background in skincare which allows for her makeup application to enhance your existing beauty. She made me feel like a better version of myself for my big day. For my hair, I didn't have the chance to schedule a trial, so was a bit nervous what to expect. Nicole took my direction / photos into a great look for our hot July wedding. My hair lasted well into the night and was the perfect amount of undone that I was aiming for. The two of them were such a great duo keeping everything on time, in order and bringing a great attitude with them.
I have been lucky enough to work with Mackenzie for a few years doing hair for weddings! I was pumped to have her and Nicole be a part of my BIG day. I knew when I met her, I would have her do my hair for my wedding. She has some serious talent. Mackenzie and Nicole(also super talented!) made all the girls feel and look great. Styles that last all day are what you need on such a long day, and they did not fail. I loved knowing I would not have to worry about anyone being unhappy. We all looked great, and had such fun starting our day with Mack and Nicole!

Hey Kelly, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us . It means a lot ! I loved working with you and your girls. That morning was so fun! I wish you all the best and thanks again for your business!
I was lucky enough to have experience with MACK because my best friend also used them for her wedding. With that said, I could not have imagined what an amazing job they would have done for my own wedding. Mackenzie and Kelly did such a beautiful job making me, my bridesmaids, and my mom all look our absolute best. Each of us felt fantastic. So many guests at the wedding commented on my makeup and especially my hair. I had purchased a beaded halo, which Mackenzie used in such a unique way - it went perfectly with my dress. She really has a great talent. Even leading up to the wedding, Mackenzie was super helpful and always got right back to me with any questions I had. The day of, both she and Kelly were right on time and the entire morning went smoothly. I am beyond thankful to MACK for for their amazing work!
Loved working with Mackenzie and her crew!! I was searching for a hair and makeup artist to come onsite for my wedding at the Hotel Monaco this past summer and Mack was a perfect fit! Not only did she do phenomenal work on the day of the wedding, she helped me in the months leading up to the big day getting my very dark brown hair lightened so it would be perfect for July! Mackenzie and her whole team are super talented and I would absolutely recommend their services for your wedding or any event!!
Allison was the stylist for my May 2017 wedding. I had concerns about wearing my hair in an "updo" as I never wear my hair up however the dress required that my hair be off my shoulders. Allison took all of my concerns and created the most beautiful loose updo I have ever seen. It lasted me all night despite the strong beach winds, sweat and dancing and I could not have been more thrilled. Book her for your wedding for exquisite hair!
LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU NEED TO BOOK MACKENZIE ASAP!!! I can not begin to tell you about the Amazing Experience I had on my wedding day with Mackenzie and Jen! I too went to the Knot to look for the top for hair and makeup. Mackenzie and Jen were so fun and absolutely talented. I had my trial very early on, My wedding was in February with my wedding in October. Makeup and Hair were my top priorities (aside from the food) and I had a WONDERFUL trial. I felt so comfortable and so happy that i didn't even question, I booked right away. I told the girls to do whatever updo they wanted for their hair. I have been in weddings before with all with the same updo, and you just never feel as comfortable as you would choosing your own style. Mackenzie did all of our hair and Jen did all of the makeup. They were so Professional and were able to take what the girls wanted and make a cohesive look. Everyone had complimented our hair and makeup! Thank you to Mackenzie and Jen for making me and my girls, my mom and my sister look absolutely stunning for my wedding day.
My father unfortunately passed tragically on the day of my wedding. I am very thankful to Mackenzie and Jen for making me look so beautiful. He got to walk me down the aisle and see me look so stunning and I owe that to both of them. <3 Amanda

Hi Amanda, I wanted to reach out to you because one of your friends came in for a haircut and told me the awful news about your father. I want you to know how sorry I am for such a tragedy to occur on such a special day. I am so sorry for your ...
loss but thankful your father was there to walk you down the aisle.
I really enjoyed your wedding morning and your sweet mother. All of you looked absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking the time to write us this amazing review and staying positive during this emotional experience. We all wish you and your family all the best.
I had a great experience with Mack Sylist at my wedding. They did both hair and make-up for me, the bridesmaids, and mothers. Everyone I encountered was easy to work with every step of the way. The initial trails were very helpful to try out different things, find what I wanted, and get comfortable with the stylists. I initially found them as I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that they worked. They consistently do a phenomenal job and I would highly recommend!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We really love when brides take the time to review us. It helps us grow every year and for that, it's very appreciated. Thank you for all of us !
I don't even know where to begin to explain how thrilled and happy I am with Mack Stylist! Trying to plan in PA while living in TX was extremely stressful and hard, but Mack was great to work with and super flexible the entire way through. When I went in for my trial, Mack listened to my thoughts and then gave me her feedback and suggestions and made sure to explain why she was making those suggestions which was SUPER HELPFUL considering I am not a hair or makeup expert. When it came to the wedding day, Mack and Jennifer were unbelievably amazing with all of my bridal party and mothers. Again, she made sure to give suggestions and guide us in the right direction when it came to the look and feel of the wedding but also making sure with the crappy weather that it would hold up. Not only were both her and Jennifer absolutely amazing with hair and makeup, but I cannot say enough great things about having them both there with us from first thing in the morning all the way up to our ceremony. They were super easy to talk to, had a great sense of humor, and helped make my wedding day one of the most fun days I have ever had in my life!! I would highly recommend Mack Stylist to any brides that are looking for help with hair and makeup!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. We really appreciate you taking the time to write about us. We enjoyed working with you as well. We wish you all the best !
Mack Stylist arrived on time, but ended up completing all hair styles 90 minutes late from the schedule timeline that we agreed upon on my wedding day, which then affected the timeline for the remainder of the day. Because of this, I was unable to take 90 minutes of wedding photos that I planned to take before the ceremony and I missed the cocktail hour and dinner at my reception to take the photos in an alternate location. This was particularly frustrating since we spent a significant amount of time creating Mack's schedule leading up to my wedding. I even called Mackenzie with concerns about the timeline a week prior to the wedding and she assured me that it would be more than enough time. This overrun occurred because Mackenzie continued to mess up on hair for several bridesmaids and decided to redo it, which then cut into the time for my hair. I certainly felt rushed as Mackenzie did my hair.
In addition, Mackenzie informed me on my wedding day that she forgot to order my hair extensions until the last second (which I purchased during my hair trial months before the wedding). She bought the extensions last-minute the day before the wedding and they were not the same length as the extensions I purchased during my trial. This caused my wedding hair to look drastically different from my trial hair and I did not like my hair at all on my wedding day. It was too short and it was messy. The point of a trial is to decide how things will look on the wedding day. Although I loved my trial hairdo, this was not executed on my wedding day.

Here we go… I want you and other Brides reading this that I am not going to fear bad reviews based of false claims. This Bride (you) refused to pay her final balance for 3 months following her wedding.
Initially, when you booked your services...
, you had serious concerns about money. You said we were out of your budget. I have several emails with you, like all our brides explaining pricing, services etc…
After your wedding, we did not receive the check you said you placed in the mail. You informed me that it was sent and along with that … a nice email apologizing for the delay on your final payment, making no mention of bad experiences etc…
After two additional emails over the next 3 months, I told you that if the balance was not paid by the end of the month I will take you to small claims court. You then threaten me with a bad review to blast my business if you had to pay the final balance ( 3 months after the fact) . I accepted your offer and told you to go ahead.
It’s people like you that we learn from. I have never experienced this in the past but hey, there is a first time for everything.
The moral of this story, is if you don’t have money for services, don’t book the vendor. It’s not fair that you would do this to a small business and to someone who has such great experiences with Brides in the past and will continue to do so in the further.
Thanks to you, we have learned a valuable lesson.
This review is all lies. I have pictures of you on facebook with the hair color and style matching perfectly...shame
We wish all the best!
I got married on a day in which a hurricane was brewing and headed straight towards my wedding venue location. All of my hopes and dreams of wearing "beach waves" came to a halt and Mack convinced me an updo was the way to go. I agreed, and I couldn't be happier with the result. My updo was beautiful, chic and stayed in all night (we even did our pictures outside in 30mph winds). She also gave all of my 6 bridesmaids equally beautiful updos. She really is an talented artist! Jen was our make up artist and she did such a great job! Everyone looked like themselves...just a better version, which I loved. She also brought such a great attitude to the morning and helped to ease all of the high running emotions. Hiring Mack Stylist was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Thank you!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2016
Hey Girl! You were equally as amazing to work with. I was so happy you decided to go "up" and outside during that insane weather. I am glad you did. Your pics were ridiculously beautiful ! We loved your entire wedding party! Also, we are thrill...
ed with triller thanks for the intro :)
After a few failed trials with other vendors, I booked a trial with Mackenzie for my wedding and was initially disappointed when I found out she had been booked for my wedding day. I ended up trialing with Kelly for hair and T Patrick for makeup and all disappointment went out the door. Instead of trying to copy my inspiration pictures exactly like other vendors, they both customized my look to me based on my inspiration pictures. The end result was a look that worked for me personally while still retaining the feeling and overall look I was going for. Something other vendors had failed to do. And they were so much fun to work with on the day of the wedding. My bridal party and my mom looked and felt amazing and everyone had such a good time working with Kelly and T Patrick. Kelly did an awesome job and my hair looked so pretty and continued to look amazing all night long. Everyone's hair stayed gorgeous through to the end of the reception. And T Patrick nailed my wedding day makeup. We had some caking around my eyes (oily and hooded eyes) after the trial so he made an adjustment for the day of the wedding and I looked perfect all day long! I should also add that I got my hair cut and colored by Mackenzie a few days before the wedding and she did a great job of giving me some style without taking length and matching my hair and extensions. I felt gorgeous and confident all day and I really want to thank Kelly, T Patrick, and Mackenzie for that. It made such a difference having a great team behind me. You guys were the best and seriously one of my favorite parts of my wedding day!

Thanks for taking the time to review. You were awesome this entire process. I am so glad you took the time to share your experience with us. I hope to see you back at the studio soon! ( Love your pics BTW)
Mackenzie and her crew were an absolutely fantastic pick for hair and makeup on my wedding day! I am so happy I went with them. I found them on The Knot and did a trial and a haircut with Mackenzie before my big day. I went in with some pictures and was a little undecided with what I wanted to do with my hair. I was a little nervous because I have naturally curly hair, and I've been to some hair stylists who just don't know how to tame and style my hair straight. I knew I wanted a neutral/natural look since I was having a classic, farm/rustic wedding. I also don't wear a ton of makeup normally, so I wanted to make sure it was neutral and that I looked like myself. When I went for my trial, I could tell right away that Mackenzie was confident and knowledgeable, and knew her stuff. She was blunt about what she thought would look good for my rustic-style wedding, but it was just what I needed. I absolutely loved my trial look. She managed my hair beautifully and my makeup looked so natural. I think I booked her the next day!
Leading up to the wedding, I got my hair cut with her and she gave me some tips on things I could do to have my hair "wedding day ready". She also was able to recommend some lipstick colors for that neutral look I was picturing, which worked out perfectly. She was quick to respond on email or via phone, and there was never a doubt in my mind that I hadn't picked an excellent vendor. She was one of the vendors that I knew I could count on to do an amazing job when it came down to it.
On my wedding day, Mackenzie and Courtney arrived to Normandy Farm on time and ready to work. We were getting ready in a guest house on site, and the lighting was a little tough, but they were totally flexible and made it work with no complaints. Mackenzie worked on makeup and Courtney worked on hair for my six bridesmaids, flower girl, and mom. Everyone looked absolutely amazing. I was so pleased with the bridal party's look. Everyone looked natural, and had the neutral/romantic feel I was going for. Courtney did a lot of updos with braids that looked awesome. Even my bridesmaid who wears next to no makeup on an everyday basis loved the natural look that Mackenzie gave her.
I was also super happy with how Mackenzie did my hair and makeup. My makeup looked absolutely amazing and neutral, like I wanted. She did a unique braid in my hair that had the loose, romantic feel I wanted as well. And everything lasted the whole day too.
If you are looking for an amazing hair and makeup artist, go with Mack Stylist. Mackenzie is amazing at what she does and is so incredibly knowledgeable. And her employees are the same way. They helped to make my wedding day perfect. Thank you ladies!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! What an awesome review, we greatly appreciate it! You and your Bridal party were so amazing and I enjoyed the entire wedding process with you as well. I am so grateful for the review and pictu...
res! Thanks so much ! xoxox
Ladies, if you want to look and feel stunning, Mack is your girl. Mack is ridiculously creative, talented, and patient. I had an incredible experience working with her!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2016
Thanks so much for this amazing review. We truly appreciate it and hope to work with you in the future !
Mack showed up on time and with a smile on her face despite it being early. 6 hours later, she was still funny and smiling. I received many compliments on both my hair and makeup, and I couldn't have asked for a better job. My one and only tiny issue was that one of my eye lashes started falling off right after the ceremony. Lesson learned. Bring extra glue! She was patient and kind with my difficult mother. She made a nerve racking day easier. I would definitely recommend.
Mackenzie is the mother of the bride's dream! She provides amazing hair and make-up services, but also organized the services for the entire bridal party in a extraordinarily professional way which tremendously reduced any stress in preparing for the special day!
The best compliment I can give is that Mackenzie provided outstanding bridal services for not just one, but for both of our daughters' weddings!
I cannot imagine having worked with anyone better!
I was so excited after researching hair and make up to try Mack... but when I had my trial, she kept telling me she was tired, was feeling uninspired and had just come off of doing a lot of weddings that weekend, but it seemed Sundays was the best day for her to do trials... I hated my hair, althought she did do 3 options, but none of them suited me. I hated my make up even more. When I left and really looked in the mirror- my bottom eyelash line had a dark liner that wasn't even blended out and NO mascara on the bottom?? I just didn't feel like she wanted to be there or didn't really care about the trial and to top it off the trial cost me $150. Waste of money!
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2016
Hello Megan, I am very sorry you feel this way. I wish I would have known you had an issue with the trial. If I can do anything to fix this and make it better for you, please let me know.
I wish you all the best
I select Mack Stylist to my hair and make-up for my bridal party and I as well as my mom's :) I had 10 bridesmaids, a strict timeline, and a very rainy wedding day. Mackenzie and her team were the best. Each one of my bridesmaids hair and make-up looked stunning. She made sure their hairstyles would stay with the weather. We even were done in time based on the photographer's schedule. Mackenzie is very organized, no-nonsense, knows her stuff, and worth every penny. Furthermore, I cannot say enough what she did for my mom. My mom is a nurse, and does not have a lot of time to do her hair and make-up. Mackenzie gave my mom a cut and color that was manageable for her work, and perfect for my wedding. As for her makeup, it was done just right - She made my mom look beautiful - just way I see her - but not overdone. Thank you, Mackenzie:)
Look no further for hair and makeup on your wedding day! The girls at Mack made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt in my life-- and that was surely the best day for that feeling!! Kelsey (hair) and Kiyana (makeup) were on time, stayed as long as needed to get the job done, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and look perfect! My bridal party loved them, too. Mackenzie is easy to work with and very professional. Love love love.
Choosing Mack Stylist for my hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made during my whole planning process. I came across them on some wedding sites and noticed that a few friends of mine had worked with them during their weddings too. Mack was quick to respond to my request for information and while they were a bit more expensive than other stylists I had contacted, I decided they'd be worth the splurge. And were they ever!
Kelsey and Nicck did an awesome job on six bridesmaids, my mother-in-law and me. Nicck even convinced my makeup-fearing mom to get touched up. Everyone loved how they looked and felt comfortable with their appearances. My hair and makeup were just incredible. I couldn't have asked for anything better! I've never felt more glamorous or beautiful, but I also still recognized myself in the mirror -- not always the case with previous professional makeup experiences. Everything stayed put through hours of rain, sweat, hugs, tears, dancing and a late-nite after party. I also got a pre-wedding haircut by Mack that I am still loving, and received a discount on the cut for being one of their brides.
Kelsey (hair) and Nicck (makeup) arrived early, worked so quickly that no one felt rushed all morning, were flexible and made good suggestions, and were a pleasure to talk with. Wish I could do it all over again!
My wedding was on June 6th, 2014. After several trials from many highly recommended salons around Philadelphia, I booked Nicck for Make Up & Kelsey for Hair. All Bridal Party put their faith in my hand. One of the best decisions ever!!!
BTW, I am Asian & my husband's family is Italian.
Both Nicck & Kelsey arrived early & got right to work. They both did amazing jobs on all of us. Everyone looked great their own ways, yet looked uniformly together as a party. Everyone was so happy. We all couldn't stop giving them compliments.
To date, Nicck did the BEST make up work on me. I never had a better one & I am an everyday make up girl.
It's a really special work for The Special Day. What a wonderful find. When you look right, you fell right. I couldn't say more.
Your miracle work have helped make my day a very special day. Thank you!
I found Mack Stylist by a random search and I am so happy I chose them! Throughout the whole process they were accommodating and easy to work with. They listened to everything I wanted but added their expertise to heighten the end product. Kelsey, my hair stylist was very talented and I even opted to have her cut my hair a few weeks before the wedding to really get the look I wanted. She spent a lot of time with me to get it right and I couldn't have been happier with the end result. Nick, my make up artist was also incredibly talented and made the entire bridal party look flawless. Mack Stylist is definitely the right choice if you want a more professional, classic look. I would recommend their services to everyone I know.
There are not enough words or thanks that I can give to my Mack Stylist team, Alison and Nicck, for the incredible work that they did on my wedding day. From the consultation throughout my wedding morning prep, both of them were a dynamic duo! Their timeliness, efficiency, and most importantly, their artistry, were bar none. All my girls, and my mother, were beautiful and each of them were made to feel so a part of the whole prep process. On the day of, both of them were early and because of this, we never felt rushed and all my girls were comfortable and thrilled at the attention and final product of their hair and makeup! When it came to my turn with both Alison and Nicck, it was a true collaboration and patience on their part to make sure that I was completely happy with how I looked! If my husband's first reaction of tears as I walked down the aisle to him was any indication of the final look, then the hundreds of compliments later certainly helped! I looked incredible and felt like a true beaming bride and look back on my pictures, still wowed by the glows captured from all! So, long story short, look no further than Mack Stylist and her team of incredibly talented professionals! Lastly, special shout out to Imogen, the bridal coordinator for Mack, as her organization and follow-through (and patience) were not forgotten and so much appreciated! All the best to Mack and her team!
From the moment I connected with MackStylist, Mackenzie was professional, helpful and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The first time I walked into the salon was for my bridal hair & makeup trial. I was a little nervous and anxious not knowing what to expect. But everyone (Ahn, Jaclynn & Nick) was soOOOo incredibly nice, fun and supportive!!! I highly recommend the bridal trial! It allows you to get an idea of what to expect for the big day. I chose to put the hair & makeup trial to great use for our engagement shoot. Not only was I amazed by the final results at the salon, I was able to see how the hair & makeup translated in our engagement photos (which were amazing by the way)!
The day of the wedding, Jaclynn (hair) & Ahn (makeup) arrived on time and were professional, focused and extremely efficient! They were so efficient that they completed 5 bridesmaids, 1 MOB and 1 bride ahead of schedule! Everyone looked simply gorgeous!!! The icing of the cake was how fun they were and how much all of my bridesmaids enjoyed their time with both girls!
Throughout the whole day, I felt beautiful and confident! My hair and makeup withstood all my bouncing, dancing and goofing around! My hair did not move!!! AMAZING!!! My mom and all my bridesmaids were also breath taking and the hair and makeup stayed beautiful all day!
Recently, I received my photos from my wedding and all I can say is “WOW”! The hair and makeup look amazing and perfect! I was looking for a stylist who could create timeless elegance and beauty and MackStylist NAILED IT!!! I received the most wonderful compliments from so many people! I cannot thank MackStylist enough for everything they did for me! Throughout the whole day of the wedding (and throughout the whole engagement) I never once worried about hair or makeup because I knew I had the BEST! I highly recommend MackStylist to everyone!!!
I actually came across Mack Stylist on The Knot and booked them over a year in advance for my October 2014 wedding. Working with the whole bridal team was awesome; everyone I ever spoke to at the salon was nothing but nice. Imogen (the bridal coordinator) was super helpful the entire process and worked with me to add an assistant the week of and hatch out a schedule for myself, 5 bridesmaids, our officant, and 3 moms. Our beauty team of Nicck, Kelsey and Megan were awesome and gave each person the look they wanted. They were also amazing people and made our getting ready process so much fun! As the bride, I wanted something different and edgier than most and they delivered exactly what I wanted. I received so many compliments on my look. It was everything I wanted and so much more. Kelsey really killed it on giving me big, volumized hair (ie; Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants). The entire wedding party looked awesome! My one bridesmaid hair was a little challenge and both Kelsey and Megan worked on it. In the end it wasn't exactly what she was picturing but it was still well done and she looked beautiful :) I really can't thank them enough for their services. I would recommend Mack Stylist to any bride to be. They do great work and in my opinion worth the money. They are really willing to work with you to achieve the looks you want on your big day. They will travel to you on your day, but their salon where I had my trial is really nice as well. I would recommend all brides get airbrushing as well. I added it that day and it made my make-up last forever!! Booking Mack Stylist was one of the best choices I made for my wedding party.
Mackenzie had done hair and makeup for the whole wedding two years ago at my son's wedding.We all looked great. MackStylist as their own lovely salon now ...which is great for trial hair and makeup. My sister and I were here clients for my sons October wedding. We looked glamorous and current. By far an excellent company to work with.
I recently got married at The Manor House at Prophecy Creek Park in Ambler, PA. I can not say enough great things about the Mack Stylist team. First I will start off and say I did my hair and makeup trial at their salon and absolutely loved both. Nicck made me feel so beautiful and Kelsey came up with an awesome hair style that I LOVED. They both made the whole experience wonderful for myself as well as my mom. We had so much fun that day. I did the trail about three months before the wedding. For the next few months I kept second guessing the way I wanted my hair so the day of the wedding I surprised Kelsey and said I wanted to try something completely different from what the trial was. She completely went with it and the end product came out beautiful. I was so happy with both hair and makeup. Everyone kept asking the entire night who did all our hair and makeup. They also did my bridesmaids as well as my mom. Kelsey and Nicck came to my hotel also to do the hair and makeup and I highly recommend this. They made me feel so at ease and stress free the entire morning. They are so FUN! I can not say anything negative towards Mack, they made my whole wedding experience wonderful!
Mackenzie and Jess were a dynamic and mega creative team. I think what I loved most about Mack Stylist was their ability to take my original idea and just make it a work of art. It was no longer the Kiera Knightly hair style I found but they transformed it into an original "Aimee" look. I have never felt more beautiful in my whole life and my bridesmaids and mother were all stunning compliments to the overall look. I didn't feel overly made up either, it was super retro chic but I still felt like me which is how every bride should feel. Apart from the beauty aspect Mack and her team are incredibly professional and the line of communication was always open. If you hire Mack Stylist, and you really should, one thing I would recommend is to not be too controlling. They are pros and know what they're doing. If you don't like something they will listen, but I really feel it came together in such a beautiful way because I kept an open mind and trusted in their talent. Bravo!

Congratulations Aimee! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review for Mack Stylist. Mackenzie and Jess were thrilled to be a part of your special day and especially enjoyed the opportunity to be creative in developing y...
our truly gorgeous and uniquely "Aimee" look. We wish you all the best!
I couldn't have been more thrilled with Allison from Mack Stylist. She and an assistant did hair for nine women on my wedding day (me, two mothers, six bridesmaids) and everyone looked amazing - polished, soft, natural and classic. They were efficient, calm and organized. Allison did my hair exactly as I wanted it, and built volume and hold so that it last perfectly the whole night (which ended up being over 12 hours!). I couldn't have been happier, and would highly recommend her, and Mack Stylist in general.
I LOVED McKenzie and her team for scheduling me and hour later then the rest of my bridal party and everything else she did! Her whole team was so professional, accommodating, and nice . Everything turned out better then I ever even expect. I had the ceremony at a church at 10 am, pictures from 12 to 4:30 and a Jewish ceremony at 6pm, and its a Russian wedding so party until 2 am.. everyone's makeup and hair stayed almost perfect!
For all brides to be--- the day will be documented in photos forever, you want to look better than you ever have!!!
Mack Stylist did a wonderful job on the hair and makeup for my bridal party and me on my wedding day. Everyone looked beautiful and the makeup and hair looked great in all of our pictures. I would definitely recommend their services!
Mackenzie did my hair and makeup for my wedding along with a few bridesmaids and the mother of the groom. Everyone looked amazing! Mackenzie was professional, personable and is a true artist!
I found Mack Stylists through the recommendation of a friend, and I could not be happier with my decision to work with them for my wedding day makeup! Mackenzie was very accommodating leading up to the big day with scheduling trials for both my mom & I. Lakisha & Seth, our day-of makeup artists, were incredibly talented & professional & helped make every member of my bridal party look absolutely stunning. We loved them and can't thank them enough for everything!
Mackenzie and her team were amazing and so very talented to work with. I definitely made the right choice for my wedding day hair and makeup.
A couple of my bridesmaids and I had hair and makeup trials at Mackenzie’s studio, what an exciting experience! They were so welcoming, and made the day a lot fun.
On the morning of my wedding, Mackenzie arrived at my suite bright and early, before 8AM to get through all eight of us by noon. She gave all my bridesmaids amazing up dues, and even finished ahead of schedule. My hair looked exactly as I pictured, Mackenzie was so helpful by giving my maid of honor step by step instructions of how to pull my hair back for when the reception started.
Nicck is an amazing makeup artist. He has a great personality and is perfect to have with you on your wedding day. He calmed everyone’s nerves and made the whole process fun. My airbrushed foundation lasted all day, making our wedding photos look flawless. My mom even gave false eyelashes a try when she saw how great they looked.
Mackenzie and Nicck made my bridesmaids and mom look absolutely beautiful. I would not have wanted to work with anyone else, my bridesmaids and I received so many compliments. You need to have Mack Stylists on your wedding day, you won’t be disappointed.
Mackenzie did a fantastic job of doing my bridal party's hair. Each one was unique and beautiful. My florist gave her a giant floral arrangement for my hair, and Mack fixed the poorly-designed piece and made it work perfectly...never moved one inch the whole evening! Lakisha was also fantastic: my makeup has NEVER looked so natural and so luminous. They both listened to what I wanted and executed perfectly. I definitely recommend them to others; you'll be able to tell at your trial if they mesh with your vision.
Mackenzie and Lakisha were such a pleasure to work with, from my trial to the day of our wedding. They both have fun and light personalities that made the wedding morning so easy and relaxed. Lakisha brought out the beauty in me and all seven of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. The make-up looked flawless in photos throughout the evening. Mackenzie is such a creative hair stylist, and she stayed with us on the day-of until everyone was 100% happy with their hair. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you, Mackenzie and Lakisha!!!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Mack Stylist to anyone getting married in the Philadelphia area. When I started doing research on salons and stylists, there were a lot of details to consider. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and looking at pictures of their work. Mack’s was the most professional and non-cheesy. I didn’t want everyone to have hair and makeup that looked like they were going to a formal high school dance or dance recital. On the day, Alison and Nicck absolutely killed it, eliminating any residual stress I had over how much I was paying for hair and makeup.
Everyone in our bridal party had slightly different styles, and Nicck and Alison were able to make everyone feel confident and awesome.
My only complaints would be extremely minor, related to email responsiveness and cost (I know, I know, it’s worth it, but still a little steep compared to the competition and made me cringe a little!). Don’t fret, just book them. It’s one of the best vendors we had and I’m so thankful I went with them. Until the day of the wedding when I gave Alison a vague description of the hair I wanted and told her to go for it, I was worried that I’d spend my life saying “I wasn’t crazy about my hair…” Instead, I’ve had people tell me that they’re using my wedding photos as hair inspiration. They were both so easy to be around, too, it all just felt comfortable. Instead of rushing around the morning of the wedding, we got to hang out and drink some bubbly. Perfect!
I had a very large bridal party and we all take pride in the way we look. Thanks to Mackenzie and her stylish team, they helped create the classic look that I attained for on my wedding day :)
I cannot even tell you how much we LOVED the services from Mack Stylist!! I did quite a bit of re search when it came to my hair and make-up artist. At the time, i was having HUGE issues with my skin. I had HORRIBLE Acne and i refused to let it show on my Wedding Day! The first trial...i knew what was going to happen, and unfortunately because of MY skin issues ( NOT THEM ) My make-up melted right off within an hour. I emailed Mack my concerns and she said, dont worry we will figure this out!!! She had me come back in for a trial with Nick. Let me tell you, He is AMAZING!!! I loved him! On my wedding day, we ended up choosing to go with Airbrush make-up. Myself AND my Bridesmaids looked FLAWLESS...especially since it was about 88 degrees outside and i sweat SO bad! I thought for sure my hair wasnt going to last and my make up was going to melt off!!!!! Not to mention...I LOVEDDD my Hair by Mack! At first i wanted side braids like every other bride was doing this year.....and i am SO glad Mack talked me out of it because it really is JUST a fad and she knew i would probably regret it looking back in 10-20 years from now (Kinda like the 80's style lol). Anyways....THANK YOU SO MUCH to Nick and Mack for Making my Wedding Day absolutely FLAWLESS!!!
Mackenzie is an incredibly talented and intuitive hair stylist. I should also mention that she is highly responsive via email, professional and timely. I first met Mackenzie when I went for a hair trial with my mother in law. I wasn't sure what I wanted and Mackenzie further confused me, but only because she was so talented! In the course of an hour, she gave me about 5-6 different hair styles - some which I had conveyed I was interested in, some that were traditional hairstyles and some that pushed the envelop a little bit. It gave me a lot to think through and really helped me make a better informed decision for the day of my wedding (otherwise, I would have always been wondering about whether I should have done a full updo. Just like trying on several different dress styles, trying on several different hair styles really helped me (eventually) make up my mind and find my own style). Although, I must confess I left her studio that day thoroughly confused, but only because I loved each hair style she did more than the last. Mackenzie's talent is further illustrated by the AMAZING job she did literally making over my mother in law's hair. Her hair was very short and dated and we weren't sure what to do with it. Mackenzie ended up giving her a fabulous hair cut that made her look up to date and probably look off 15 years (she has since been keeping up the hair cut and continues to look fabulous!).
The day of the wedding, Mackenzie came through again, making a believer out of my skeptical mother who did not want her hair done -- and then she spent the whole night and the next day loving the hair style Mackenzie had given her. Also, Mackenzie is part mind-reader because I was having trouble articulating just want I wanted . . . and then poof! she pulled my hair up just how I was thinking. I highly recommend using Mack Stylist for your wedding. You will not be disappointed with talent, taste and professionalism.
This is not something you want to worry about on your wedding day! Mackenzie and Lakisha do beautiful work! Everyone in my bridal party looked amazing. I knew from the minute I met these ladies that I had made the right choice. My trial was actually fun and super comfortable. Mackenzie knew exactly what to do and I just let her do her thing! Lakisha is a true artist. It was such a pleasure having these ladies around - they were prompt and professional all while being super friendly and chatting and laughing.
Everyone looked gorgeous...and stayed that way for hours and hours! Mackenzie and her team rock!
Mackenzie and Lakisha did my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures this past weekend and all I can say is WOW. I was beyond thrilled with their work! I'm a bride who has done my own hair and make up for years so I knew I wanted a team who would really take my look to the next level by giving me celeb worthy status. Mack Stylist went above and beyond that! I left feeling super gorgeous and confident for my photo shoot. My experience was amazing, they were able to create the look I was envisioning perfectly. I honestly was sad to undo my makeup and hair at the end of the night! I was so happy with the results, I mailed in my deposit to book Mackenzie & Lakisha for my wedding the very next day!
