Maria is UNMATCHED! She did my wedding hair on 5/21/22. She is professional, punctual, personable, and so incredibly talented. She listens to what you want, and provides honest and gentle feedback. She has an eye and knows what looks best!
Prior to my wedding day, I purchased one of her Style Box Beauty hair pieces (I recommend checking out her accessories- they’re stunning!) On the day of, when she completed my bridal look, I was completely speechless. I wanted Hollywood waves and boy did she deliver.
Of course my wedding day was the hottest day of the year thus far at a whopping 94 degrees, but myself & all of my girls hairstyles lasted the entire night! I have nothing but gratefulness for booking Maria for my wedding day. Book her- you will be nothing short of happy!
Maria and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! They had my very large bridal party (12 girls plus myself) ready ahead of schedule and they all did a wonderful job! All of our hair and makeup stayed in place the whole night (and it was a 12+ hour day), and they helped make the morning stress-free and gave me the opportunity to have a fun and memorable getting-ready moment with my girls. Maria and her artists were on time, professional and so personable! When it came time for my hair and makeup trial Maria was very accommodating and wanted to. make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, especially when we had to postpone our original wedding date and make changes to our day of schedule and bridal party numbers. I highly recommend booking her for your special day to help you look and feel your best!
Maria is the absolute best at what she does. We had 3 hair and 4 makeup services to be completed on the day of my wedding, and Maria managed to complete our looks within a few hours while still providing each of us with the most attention to detail and perfection. The entire night my hair and makeup remained flawless and I received so many compliments. I couldn’t imagine having a more perfect look for my wedding day, and she truly was a big part of making me feel like a princess. She is professional, talented, and dependable.
Her hair extension line is also amazing quality, and helped complete the dream hair-do.
Thank you so much!!
Maria is truly amazing! She did my hair for my wedding last month, along with my mother and sister's hair and makeup. She is very professional, works quickly, and does a beautiful job. We had such a nice, calm morning with her. Aside from her talent, Maria is such a genuine person. There was a major issue with one of my vendors that arrived as Maria was finishing up. She could see how upset I was and stayed to help me. Had she not been there, the situation definitely would have escalated. I will never forget the amazing job she did, or the kindness and support she showed me on the biggest day of my life.
Maria is truly amazing! Her expertise and creativity are very reflective in her work. She took the vision I had for my bridal hair and executed it perfectly! I loved it so much! My mother has been battling stage 4 cancer and needed her wig styled and Maria styled it beautifully! It looked so natural on her and she received many complements throughout the night. My mother said it was the most beautiful she has felt since being diagnosed.
Other things I loved about Maria is that she is super fast and had me and six others ready in 4 hours. Our hair also stayed all day long! Lastly, Maria has her own hair extension brand which are made from the best quality.
Thank you so much Maria for helping make my day such a memorable and beautiful one!
Maria was the absolute best hairstylist!
Maria came in prepared and she immediately started working with my hair. I have very long hair and she was able to create the most beautiful updo for my wedding day. I danced all night and my updo was intact and it stayed perfectly placed the whole night. Everyone was complementing my hair and how beautiful the updo looked.
Maria is truly amazing and you should 100% book her services!!
Maria and her assistant were absolutely AMAZING! She understood my vision so perfectly. My hair came out exactly how I imagined. All my girls looked so stunning. Maria was timely, professional, and so fun! We received so many compliments from guests! Also, her headpiece selections are beautiful! I am a Wedding Planner and will be recommending Maria to all my clients! Thank you, Maria!!
One of my favorite parts of my wedding was my hair and makeup done by Maria Licari. Not only is Maria a sweetheart, her work is unmatched. My hair and makeup held up all night and continued to look flawless even after a lot of dancing and sweating. I received a ton of compliments and felt so beautiful on the most important day of my life. BOOK HER (early!).
The wedding hair of my dreams! Maria is incredible! She did an amazing job on me and my bridesmaids. At the end of the night, there wasn't a single hair out of place. Maria is professional, meticulous, and capable of executing any hairstyle upon request. She completed 8 hairstyles ahead of schedule. She has a warm, gentle and calming presence that is essential on a crazy wedding day. She also has a line of stunning and high-quality hair extensions which I loved and wore on my wedding day. Highly highly recommend!
Maria Licari is by far the best makeup and hair artist you could EVER have!!!! She is professional, enhances natural beauty while making you look absolutely breath-taking without looking fake, and I was so impressed with how FAST she is! She did both of my sisters' weddings, and mulitple friends and the results were the same every time. The stress of the wedding day can be a lot but Maria's timeliness, speed and composure make it all so easy and such a pleasure, on top of the fact she is just an amazing person!! The compliments received are always out of this world. I simply cannot say enough!!!!!
I hired Maria to do my hair for my wedding last week and she did an amazing job! Myself and all of our bridesmaids looks amazing all night long without touch ups or anything! Maria is very kind and extremely talented, I highly recommend!
I came across Maria’s Instagram when I first got engaged and was instantly impressed with her work. Having a type A personality, I am especially very picky when it comes to who touches my hair. Maria made my dream wedding hair come to life. Having 8 hair services and four hours to work with, Maria not only made my bridesmaids and mom hair beautiful, but slayed my Hollywood waves. Maria is extremely kind and is very professional! She was extremely easy to contact when I had to make changes for my event. If you’re trying to look nothing short of amazing on your wedding day, you should choose Maria!
Maria and her girls were beyond amazing. They were punctual, extremely talented and so kind. My bridesmaids and I were extremely happy with our hair and makeup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was perfect and I cannot thank them enough for making me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful!
Maria was an absolute dream to work with! I was nervous about wedding hair and makeup because I am not a big glam girl, and wanted to look like the best version of myself on my big day. Maria beyond exceeded any expectation I had for how I looked on my wedding day. Families aren't the easiest of people to work with, and Maria was so patient and kind. My hair was perfect for my beach wedding and stayed perfect all day. My makeup was so effortless, I felt so beautiful and have the pictures to prove it. I am so grateful and blessed to have had Maria make me feel my best on my favorite day. If I could give her a million stars I would!
I can't stress enough how amazing Maria is! Maria was wonderful to work with as she is prompt with communication & offers trials for both hair and make up. Maria is GENIUS at doing hair! I got so many compliments about my hair, and it looked great for the whole day. Despite having a large bridal party, Maria ensured that everyone was taken care of and brought in a wonderful team to provide hair & make up to the bridal party. I can't recommend Maria enough, and highly encourage her hair & make up services.
Maria did such an excellent job with everyones hair at our wedding. The bridesmaids and moms' hair all looked so glamorous . She was great to work with from the very beginning and listened to what I wanted. She is a master at hair. Everyone's hair lasted through the whole night. My mom and I also purchased her hair extensions for the big day and they are the most natural looking, high quality extensions I have ever used. We had initially purchased Bellami Hair extensions for the wedding but the quality was nothing compared those we purchased from Maria!
There aren't enough words to describe how truly amazing Maria is!
I first met Maria at my best friend's wedding about 5 years ago. After experiencing her talent first hand, I knew hiring Maria for my own wedding day in the future was an absolute necessity. Her ability to replicate any style with such ease and finesse is unmatched. I felt nothing but comfort entrusting my hair, and the hair of my bridesmaids, to Maria on the most important day of my life.
I am still in awe of the gorgeous style Maria created for me on August 20, 2021. It photographed beautifully and held up the entire day, even through humid outdoor photos and five hours on the dance floor. Each of the hair styles she created for my girls were equally as beautiful and durable. They were all incredibly happy with their looks for the day. We each received many compliments from family members, friends, and guests.
Working with Maria leading up to the wedding was an absolute pleasure. She quickly answered any questions or concerns I had. Maria was particularly flexible and professional when it came to our Covid postponement.
We had the best time getting ready with Maria on our wedding day. She handled everyone's hair with the same care and attentiveness most would only reserve for their loved ones. I am anxiously awaiting the next excuse to have my hair done formally. You would be remiss, and definitely regretful, in not hiring Maria for your wedding day.
Maria is the best of the best. She made everyone look absolutely beautiful on my day. She is so incredibly professional and talented. She was so kind and easy to work with. Highly highly recommend.
Maria was absolutely AMAZING! I’m so grateful to have had her for my special day. I booked her 2 weeks before my wedding day because it was a last minute mini-mony (thanks covid) and she was so accommodating. Everyone’s hair turned out so beautiful and it was better than i could’ve ever imagined. I never even had a chance to trial with her, so I was a little nervous leading up to the day, but she truly exceeded me expectations. Thank you again Maria. You’re amazing!
Maria literally had the patience of a saint. Not only is her work INCREDIBLE, but she is flexible, patient, and entertained every single post, picture, or video I found of what I thought I wanted.
Maria is truly an amazing artist. She was so flexible and kind from the moment I reached out about a trial. She provided her honest opinion about my thoughts on what I wanted, and completely ran with my vision. And I’ll just say - my hair turned out better than I could have ever imagined.
Maria’s flexibility is unmatched. From changing my venue, to postponing due to Covid, to having to get married with 2 days notice due to my wife losing her job, Maria was there for me. She adjusted my hairstyle to match a courtroom instead of a ballroom and EVERYONE still comments.
Choosing Maria for your hair will be the easiest and smartest decision you’ll make for your big day.
If i could give endless amounts of stars i would. Maria did my hair for
My wedding on 11/8 not only did it look absolutely amazing but it lasted literally all
Night. Not only was hair amazing but we had a tight timeline and alot of girls, but maria had everyone all done on time and looking incredible. Thank you thank you thank you 100 times over !
I found Maria through Instagram over a year and a half ago and knew that I wanted to reach out to her for my wedding. She did my hair beautifully for my trial for my engagement pictures and stuck through with me through my constant change of plans due to COVID. Maria did myself, my two sisters and my mom’s hair for my bridal shower and did our hair for my small ceremony this year and it was absolutely stunning. Maria is professional and communicative and I can’t wait to work with her again for my large wedding next year. I truly can’t recommend her enough.
Maria is amazing at what she does, genuine, calm, and very personable. She is the best makeup/hair artist. She did my hair and makeup for my mini ceremony (got married early due to covid) and she also did my hair, as well as my bridesmaids/ moms, for my real wedding. We all felt SO beautiful! She listened to exactly what I wanted my hair to look like for my big day and she delivered perfectly. She showed up early to set up and worked very fast. I highly recommend booking her for your wedding!
Maria made my bridal hair dreams come true!! Every time someone looks at my wedding photos they cannot stop complimenting the hair. I wish I could post a picture with this review because it was indescribable! Maria has hands of gold! She worked so quickly the morning of my wedding my bridesmaids were stunned. She waited for the photographer to take pictures pre-vail and then put my vail on for me! Maria did not leave my house until everything was PERFECT. She is a true perfectionist. My gorgeous waves and headpiece did not move the entire night!
I knew that I wanted to book Maria for my wedding even before I was engaged. The effort she puts in to her work is evident in all of her pictures and in the satisfaction of her clients. We had my trial after I had already decided to book her so that I could secure my date. At the trial, she definitely met all of my expectations. She listened to my ideas and also gave me great suggestions, achieving the look I was going for! Due to COVID-19, we've had to postpone our wedding. Maria has been available every time I've tried to reach her with my concerns about picking a new date and how to move forward. Once we rescheduled, Maria was able to lock me in for the new date and sent me a new contract ASAP. During these terrible times, it makes all the difference having reliable and understanding vendors. I am looking forward to working with Maria on my big day- book her, you won't regret it!
I'm very glad I choose Maria for my hair on my wedding day and my bridesmaids. I had two trials with her where she went through multiple looks. As someone who hasn't had there hair done all too often, I wasn't really sure what I wanted. Maria was able to interpret the different photos and my feedback, creating the perfect look for me. I would absolutely recommend Maria!
I hired Maria as the hair stylist for my wedding in Sept 2019. She is one of the BEST decisions I made as a vendor.
First and foremost, myself and all of the girls looked beautiful!!!
Because of the size of the group that I had, Maria had her assistant Ramonda with her (she is also great)! My wedding day was rainy and a little humid, yet everyone's hair held and looked fabulous throughout the day, photos, reception and after party.
Maria is incredibly sweet and goes above and beyond. From my trial, I felt completely comfortable with her expertise and recommendations to enhance the look I was hoping to achieve. During the morning of my wedding, I became extremely nervous as Maria was finishing my hair and we'd be heading out to church. She was able to talk to me and calm me down so I was ready to walk down the aisle with a few tips she had acquired over the years.
Definitely hire Maria for your wedding day and you will not regret it!
Maria Licari made me feel like an absolute princess! Her hair and makeup work is flawless and one of a kind. My curls and makeup stayed fully in tact for over 10 hours! Thank you for making me feel beautiful on the best day of my life.
I’m so happy I chose Maria as my hair stylist for my wedding day!! I was obsessed with my hair and all I had to do was explain what I wanted. She nailed it! She is super talented! To get my super silky fine hair to stay up and curled all night, I needed the best and that was her! Maria is super sweet and easy to work with. She made all the girls in my wedding happy and looking perfect! If you haven’t booked her yet, DO IT!
I used Maria for my September wedding, and she was beyond amazing! From the start, she was extremely easy to coordinate and work with. I showed her a few pictures and she was able to recreate exactly what I was looking for and even suggested a few tweaks which I loved. I absolutely LOVED my hair on the day of my wedding. Maria is so talented and works so efficiently which is so important when you have a large bridal party like I did! Every single girl was happy with how they looked, and so was I. I highly recommend booking Maria for your wedding!
Maria is an incredibly talented professional who goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. She did hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding as well as my best friend. In both instances, she took the time to learn about what her clients wanted and needed for their special days. Not only was the hair and makeup for everyone absolutely flawless, but she was able to make last minute accommodations for unforeseen circumstances while remaining totally composed in a tight timeframe the morning of my sister’s wedding. Beyond her talent, she is also a sweetheart to work with. She is my top choice and I would hands down recommend her to anyone I know.
Maria did my hair and makeup for my wedding and everyone was BLOWN away! I went to numerous trials before her with other artists and always left unhappy or could not connect with any of them. As soon as I met Maria, she completely put my mind at ease with her golden touch! She is extremely talented and passionate about her career and it shows through her work! Check out her Instagram!! Thank you Maria for everything! <3
Maria is truly an amazing artist. She has done my hair for well over ten years and I wouldn’t choose anyone different! She is very well organized, works at a fast pace and keeps you calm with her wonderful personality !!(what every bride needs on there special day). She did my hair for my wedding and 9 of my bridesmaids, her work was absolutely flawless! I would give her a higher rating if I could!!
Maria is my go to for all my special occasions. She is reliable, professional and always does a phenomenal job. I always bring a picture of what I have in mind and she always exceeds my expectations. A true expert at not only hair but makeup as well! Highly recommend her for your next event.
Never have I felt more beautiful than when Maria Licari does my hair and makeup. She is a perfectionist to the T! I have been going to her for more than 15 years and I trust no one but her. I wouldn’t book my wedding date until I knew she was available. She is a true talent and AMAZING.
Maria was very good during the trail and very nice person she listen to what I wanted and my hair came out great ! , for the day of the wedding my hair was perfect the only issue I had were my bridesmaid hair my bridesmaid wanted a certain hair style and they felt like there hairstylist did not listen to her and a few were not happy with the hair they had to fix it themselves overall I was happy with my hair I can not say the same for the bridesmaids unfortunately not the best experience
I used Maria for my engagement shoot, bridal shower and wedding - she did not disappoint on any occasion. Maria works so efficiently it truly will blow your mind!!
The day of my wedding I had myself and 9 girls getting their hair done and she did it all on her own and did a damn good job at that!! The girls simply came with pictures and Maria made those pictures a reality. All the bridesmaids and MOB,MOG were thrilled with their hair! Maria is a sweet soul and a pleasure to work with!
Maria is by far the most talented, professional, compassionate hair stylist you could find!! She made me look gorgeous and I felt more beautiful on my wedding day than ever before!! All my bridesmaids looked phenomenal and they are still thanking me for finding Maria. Her work is the best of the best and I couldn’t have picked a better stylist !! She was so sweet and kind! She made working with her so easy and I will DEFINITELY be using her in the future!!!! I also got my make up done Angela Civale Abate who was incredible. Together their work is perfection !!!!
Maria was amazing!! Maria did my hair for my wedding along with my bridesmaids and was the sweetest, most easy going, utmost professional! I first met with Maria in June 2018 for my hair trial for my wedding which was January 20, 2019. At my trial, I told Maria my vision, which was not concrete at the time. She played with a few ideas, which I really appreciated, and she took pictures that she sent to me. I have very fine hair so Maria suggested I do extensions to help make my hair look fuller on my wedding day. We played with very long extensions and shorter clip-in extensions. Maria could tell that while I looked very pretty with the longer ones, I didn't feel completely like myself and she pointed out how my whole demeanor changed and lightened up when we used the shorter clip-ins. I loved this about her because she never pushed me to do something I wasn't comfortable with. I ended up getting custom made clip-in's for my wedding from Maria that I can reuse over and over! As I got closer to my wedding, the vision for my hair shifted a bit and I reached out to Maria to see if she it was okay to change it up and she was perfectly cool with it! The day of my wedding Maria there earlier than she said she would and was cool, calm, and collected as she was the only hair stylist for 7 or 8 women! She is organized and has a system! Maria knows how to work with all types of hair and all ages and all of the girls loved their hair, especially my mom! Maria was very clear that if anyone wanted to change anything after she was done, she would be very happy to change it and to not be afraid to speak up, which I found to be incredibly refreshing and amazing. My hair came out STUNNING and everyone was wowed. No one knew I had any clip-in's as they were seamlessly styled with my natural hair. I still looked like me but a ridiculously fabulous me. I couldn't recommend Maria enough! The woman is a PRO! She was recommended to me by AngelaMakeMeUp and they were a phenomenal team that works together at weddings all the time. They really are the dream team! If I got married again tomorrow, I would book Maria in a heartbeat and look forward to future occasions where I can go to Maria. She is incredibly talented and will set your mind at ease as she makes you feel like the most gorgeous bride! Book Maria today!
Maria is absolutely amazing. From her fun and upbeat personality, to her knowledge and expertise in hair, Maria is a true professional. She truly exceeded my hair expectations. When I first met Maria, I told her that my hair doesn’t hold a curl easily and I was nervous if it would last throughout the day of my wedding. She assured me that with the products and techniques that she uses, it would hold. Well Maria was absolutely right. It held the entire night, even through hours of dancing. Maria used her StyleBoxBeauty extensions so that I could achieve a fuller look and they blended into my hair flawlessly. Maria also completed 9 different looks for my bridesmaids and mother, and they were all top notch. We received tons of complements all night. Thank you, Maria for helping me achieve the perfect wedding look. If anyone is looking for an exceptional hair stylist, Maria is the girl for you.
Maria is absolutely wonderful! I was very worried about finding a hair and makeup artist for my wedding, as I wouldn't be able to do a trial until a few days before the wedding. However, after a wonderful trial with my mom and sister a few months before the big day, I realized we had nothing to worry about.
Maria was up for the challenge of long stance planning, and working with a weird veil set up that required a lot of creativity to make up.
My hair and makeup held all day beautifully, and got a ton of compliments. Thank you again, Maria!
Maria did my hair for my Wedding in May of 2018. She was AMAZING. Not only did she do my hair but she did my 6 bridesmaids, my mother, 4 kids and my officiants. She mastered every look that everyone was going for. I spoke to Maria before I met her to set up a trial. Just through pictures she was able to match my hair color to extensions that I used for numerous events. The minute I met Maria, I loved her calm demeanor (which every bride needs). I told her the look I was going for and she made the look come to life. I had so many compliments on my hair for engagment pic, friends wedding and my own wedding and it was all Maria. Even my bridesmaids all stated that with all the weddings we have all been in Maria by far was the best at doing hair. She works her magic at a pace that is unbelievable, she knows how important time is and she gets it done with no problem. I would highly recommend her, I love how she made my hair look!
Maria was 100% the easiest choice I made during my wedding process! I went to a few bridal trials before my trail with Maria & although they were all great - they were of no comparison to her! She not only is extremely talented but so down to earth and made the trail a fun one.
Maria did both my hair and makeup for my wedding & I can't begin to tell you how amazing, beautiful & confident I felt on my big day! She also owns her own hair extension line - which I used and highly recommend. They are beautiful and were so comfortable to wear all day/night long. She also completed 7 other girl's hair styles and all turned out amazing!
If you want to look & feel like a 100 bucks on your wedding day go with Maria, you won't regret it! :)
Maria was amazing. She executed my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted it and didn’t waiver from the trial. I felt like a model. She was on time, professional and caring. My mom was transformed into a new woman, so glamorous. The hair and make up photographed perfectly and my photographer said her highlighting and contouring was perfect. I would highly recommend!!!!
Maria Licari provided hair and makeup for me on my wedding day. She completed 13 services on her own. Our hair and makeup looked flawless-she’s a perfectionist!! She worked super fast and she was such a pleasure to have around on such a special day. She was on time, organized and professional. I must say all the products and makeup that she uses are top notch!! I never felt more beautiful!! She is extremely talented at what she does!! I would highly recommend her!! She’s amazing!!
I could not have asked for a better stylist!! She did my hair (bride) and 10 bridesmaids. She was fast and spot-on with exactly the look I was searching for. Not one wave was out of place and my hair stayed in place and flawless the entire night. Myself and my girls looked AMAZING!! I highly recommend Maria and definitely going to her anytime I need a stylist for upcoming events!!
Maria is an incredible hairstylist. She was able to make last minute changes to my hair to accommodate my bridal headpiece and veil and somehow it ended up being even better than the trial so many months previously! I recommend her 1000%!
Maria was AMAZING! Seriously, I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday. We had an initial hair/makeup trial a few months before the wedding and I knew immediately that this was it. I only showed her a few photos and she nailed the look that I was going for in literal minutes (I mean it, she's the fastest stylist ever!) The morning of the wedding she was on time, friendly and very calm (which helped everyone else keep calm!) I was so happy with how everything turned out and received so many compliments on not only my look, but everyone in my bridal party as well (4 bridesmaids, 1 MOB) and all of our hair and makeup was still looking beautiful at the end of the night. I would recommend Maria to anyone!
Maria is a true artist!!! After viewing her work on social media i knew she was the perfect fit for my special day! She is very attentive and takes the time to consult with you and really get an understanding of your style which was very pleasing to me. My makeup and my updo of curls both looked flawless and lasted all day through rain, photos and dancing not to mention even throughout the after party! She by far exceeded all of my expectations and I have truly never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day!! I received so many compliments for my hair and makeup throughout the day. I highly recommend using Maria for any occasion her magic hands will leave any woman feeling and looking beautiful!! She’s also extremely sweet and makes the whole experience very fun which is a huge plus!!
Maria is one of the best in the business! She was a pleasure to work with and is extremely talented. But most importantly she made my bride feel beautiful on her special day which is most important. I recommend her services to everyone!
