MG Hair & Makeup

I’ve known Meg for years and was so excited for her to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She’s an incredible person with the biggest heart, and extremely talented. She listened to my vision and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I was very particular about using fake lashes in that I didn’t want them to be too dramatic but just enough to create a full, natural, beautiful look, and she gave me the best lashes I’ve ever had. I also had a specific vision for my hair and she nailed it. Her team did my girls, mom and mother in law’s hair and makeup as well and everyone looked amazing! I would highly recommend Meg and her team who have been in the business for years, are in the know on all the best beauty brands, styles and trends, and will make you feel incredible on your day.

Brikida from MG Hair & Makeup did my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding this fall, and we were all very happy with the results! Denise, who coordinated all the details, was a breeze to communicate with and responded nearly immediately to any questions I had. My makeup was pure magic - by far the best professional makeup application I've ever had. Only concern was that my updo was slightly different than what I asked for and some pieces did fall throughout the day, but it looked beautiful nonetheless. The company was pricier than the average for my wedding's area, but definitely worth the splurge to have my girls and I feel so pampered on my big day.

MG Hair & Makeup is fantastic! They took care of me and made me feel special every step of the way. Cinthya was my artist and she was amazing. She laughed at all of my stupid jokes and made me feel like a beautiful princess. I totally trusted her to make me and my ladies look our most beautiful. She definitely delivered!

MG Hair and Makeup was a pleasure to work with. My hair and makeup was done by Rachel and she’s so talented! I felt and looked like a bride! They were all extremely professional, talented, and they showed up on time at 7:30am! They made us all look beautiful for the big day!

Rachel did a great job with my hair, she was always prompt and on time for our trials / the wedding and most importantly she is a good listener when we were talking through the styles I had in mind. She was also patient as we went through a couple of different iterations - I changed my mind on the look a few times before the wedding. Denise (the assistant is super responsive and very easy to coordinate with)

We loved MG Hair & Makeup! Leading up to the big day, the scheduling and preparation was so easy thanks to Denise. She is thorough and quick to reply, providing some easiness during a hectic time! On the big day, my bridesmaids were all so happy with their hair and makeup. And I of course loved my own! Gianna did my bridal look but all of the artists (4 total for us) were professional, creative, SO talented, and prompt. The artists also had great energy on the morning of my big day which really added to the excitement and fun of the prep time. I am so happy that we booked their services and highly recommend them!!!

I found MG Hair & Makeup on The Knot and I am extremely happy about it!!! I looked stunning on my wedding day. Cinthya perfectly understood what I was looking for, elegant and natural, she did a wonderful job! We had two trials before the wedding and she made me and my bridal party feel so relaxed on the wedding day, all of us looked perfect. Thank you for everything!!! <3

MG hair and make up was referred to me by a friend. I’m so glad I took her advice! Bella did my hair and make up along with my bridal party and needless to say everyone felt their absolute best and look beyond gorgeous. Meeting Bella at my make up trial was so easy and relaxing and she was absolutely wonderful. Denise was who I was in communications with about setting everything, getting the perfect schedule and making sure we had everything we needed for the big day. She was readily available by email and responded in record time. If I could have my make up done everyday I would never go anywhere else but MG hair and make up. Highly highly recommend!

I am SO happy I decided to use MG Hair & Makeup for my wedding this past June. Working with Denise to plan my trial run and the actual wedding day was a breeze, which I was so grateful for. Planning a wedding is stressful enough and everything was so easy with MG Hair & Make up. Then there was the wonderful Rachel who did my make up and hair. She knocked it out of the park!! She listened to everything I had to say about what I wanted and she worked hard to make sure I looked the way I wanted. I have never felt so beautiful. Two other incredible artists came to help with my bridal party and mom's hair & make up and everyone looked stunning. I highly recommend MG Hair & Makeup!

MG hair & Make up was the best! My hair and make up looked natural, elegant , and chic for my wedding at the Harvard Club. Exactly how I wanted it and beyond ! The photos looked stunning . Marvin was the artist who worked with me. He did amazing job! not only was acomodating with me, but able to bring the best results so I was the most beautiful bride . Denise was coordinating the process and was very responsive with all my questions and concerns . Thanks so much ! Highly recommended!

We loved loved LOVED having MG Hair & Makeup for our wedding! We booked hair and makeup services for my 6 bridesmaids and makeup for me, my mom, grandma, and MIL (who had her own stylist come to do our hair). I had my makeup done by Rachel, and we met a few months before the wedding for a trial. During the trial, she was so professional, friendly, and thorough--we looked at a few inspiration photos that I liked and she talked through exactly what was behind the photos and what the steps would be to creating that look. She was very flexible and we tried a couple of different things before settling on one that I loved. Before the wedding, Denise coordinated everything and was extremely responsive and on top of things. On the wedding day, we had Rachel and two other stylists for 3.5 hours. Everybody looked astoundingly beautiful--my bridesmaids joked that they would never look this good again. The stylists listened to what they wanted and executed with perfection, and everybody was so happy and excited during the whole day. I am so happy with how I and everybody else looked! Highly recommend!

I cannot praise MG any more. I spoke to quite a few vendors about hair and makeup in the process of wedding planning - Denise was the easiest, most responsive, most detailed and most straightforward of anyone and made the choice to go with MG a no brainer. Michelle and her team confirmed this choice and then some. They were professional: on time, ready to go, and willing to work with mine and my bridal parties different styles and requests. They were fun and flexible and didn't try to sell us on anything we didn't want. Most importantly, they made myself and my bridesmaids look like US - glammed up, but natural and glowing. Throughout the evening, my bridesmaids and guests gushed about how they'd never seen a bridal party that looked so great and flawless without being overly made up. I am so happy to have had Michelle and team there on my wedding day!

I'm very happy I worked with MG Hair & Makeup for my October 2018 wedding. Rachel and her assistant came to my apartment and did hair/makeup for me, the MOH, MOB and 4 friends. Rachel understood what I was looking for during my trial and recreated it perfectly on my wedding day. I also changed my hair from trial to day-of and Rachel was so calm and helped me create the exact look I wanted just a few hours before the wedding. Rachel and everyone I worked with at MG were just wonderful. All of our makeup looked so natural and fresh.

I used MG Hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids, we couldn't be happier! Denise was very kind and informative via email, and our artist Rachel was excellent!! She is incredibly sweet, takes the time to get to know you and your style, and does a fabulous job on both makeup and hair.

MG Hair & Makeup requires payment in full at time of signing contracts, which was not the norm that I was used to by any means. (I have been in many wedding parties over the years & this was never, ever the case).. I was’t very happy with my hair and makeup, neither were a few of my bridesmaids. For the amount that was paid, I expected much more & truly wish I had gone with another company for my wedding day.

I cannot express enough how happy I was with MG Hair & Beauty! Denise made scheduling everything so easy and straightforward. Rachel did my makeup (and my mom's makeup) for my wedding and she did such a fantastic job. Throughout the entire process of the makeup trial and the services the day of the wedding, she was so professional, knowledgeable, kind, and really made sure that I was comfortable and happy with the makeup application. I was going for more of a natural makeup look - and Rachel knocked it out of the park!! Honestly the best I have ever looked in my entire life - which is exactly what you want on the day of your wedding! I cannot recommend MG Hair & Beauty and Rachel enough!!

I was over the moon with the service I received from MG Hair & Makeup. The artist arrived promptly and I was so pleased with both my hair and makeup - the artist really listened to me and captured the look that I wanted perfectly. In addition, she was super friendly which also helps. Would highly recommend MG Hair and Makeup.

My mom and I had our hair and makeup done by Cinthya for my wedding last month and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We loved Cinthya from the day we met her at the trial -- she is so sweet and talented, and was very receptive to our thoughts and concerns. She was also very professional and had us ready right on schedule on the day of the wedding --no small feat! Our hair and makeup was flawless - she is a perfectionist - and it stayed flawless all night, even with lots and lots of dancing. It was also very easy to work with MG - they were extremely responsive from day one. MG was recommended to me by a family friend and I am happy to recommend MG to anyone!

I'm very happy I worked with MG for my wedding day. Coordinating everything from the beginning to the end with Denise was very easy; she answered emails immediately and I felt very taken care of throughout the entire process. I had the pleasure of working with MG's artist Gianna & I'm very lucky to have gotten her to be my girl for the day. She showed up to my trial early & ready to go. Both my mom & I had her do our hair and make up and we both felt gorgeous at the end of it and a nice plus was that she's just a doll- so of course, she was our girl! She gave me skin care advice, long lasting lip stick/stain suggestions & we emailed back and forth leading up to the day and she was more than happy to answer any skin/makeup/hair questions I had. She's very knowledgable & took time to write out thoughtful responses to my questions, which I really appreciated. The day of was so relaxing having her by my side. She knew exactly the look I was going for & executed it perfectly, also telling me how beautiful she thought I was all day & I know that added a ton of smiles to my photographs and video! She was my cheerleader :) I added extra hours for touch ups because I knew I'd be crying a lot throughout the day haha, but I barely needed any touch ups because the final product at the beginning of the day was so solid! Having her there for my special day felt like having another friend getting ready with us. Also (this is not about hair or make up) but right before the ceremony, we realized I had no one to fluff out my train before walking down the aisle and without even hesitating, Gianna said, "I'll do it!" So not only is she a super talented hair and make up artist, but she's a great team player and jumped into a position that she absolutely was not obligated to jump into. Artist Vanessa was the 2nd artist we had working on my bridal party and she also did a fabulous job, making everyone look beautiful. All of my girls felt beautiful and that absolutely radiated throughout their smiles. I will definitely be working with Gianna in the future whenever I need to feel like a princess again and if you can get her for your big day- do it!! You will be very very happy with your results :)

I loved working with Martina from MG Hair and Makeup!! We only had makeup handled by MG, but it was fantastic. I really struggled to find a MUA that had affordable for my bridesmaids, and MG was perfect. Martina did such a beautiful job on me and all of my bridesmaids and was so friendly, she really made the day more fun!

I waited until the last minute to book hair and make-up for my August 2018 wedding. I reached out to several vendors, and MG was by far the most responsive and reasonably priced. I was a little nervous because they wouldn't show me Julia's portfolio before I booked. But the 4-hour trial run was very helpful. On the day of the wedding, Julia was a ROCK STAR. She stayed on schedule, stayed focused, listened to everyone's wishes and concerns, and delivered. I was SO HAPPY with my hair and make-up. Everything stayed in place and perfect until the end of the night. Thank you, JULIA!

Definitely recommend! Before the trial, communication was prompt and Denise answered any and all questions I had and was super responsive during and up to day of my wedding! My hair/make-up stylist was Alicia and she was super patient and relaxed. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but the trial went smoothly and we had decided on a look that I loved. Day of the wedding, I decided I wanted a different hairstyle than what we had tried at the trial and Alicia did an INCREDIBLE job with giving me a look I wanted that I didn't know how to put into words. Especially given I have very thin/thinning hair, I looked really good and she did wonders! The make-up team was perfect and all the bridesmaids and my mother-in-law looked fantastic and I cannot thank you ladies enough!

My bridal party and I had the best experience with the team from MG Hair and Makeup. Rebecca, Stella and Michelle were all awesome and gave everyone looks they loved. Also, Denise who coordinated everything was amazing to work with! So responsive and accommodating. I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup experience for my wedding! Love MG!

I used MG for my hair & make-up as well as for the bridal party hair. My stylist did a great job and gave me some good advice at my trial in relation to getting clip-in extensions (so worth it!). Everyone's hair lasted (which is saying a lot for August outdoor wedding) and still looked great even after hours on the dance floor. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that my stylist was not the friendliest person to work with. When I wasn't entirely happy with how my make-up ended up day-of, she seemed annoyed to have to try and fix it and didn't seem to care whether I liked the look or not (I did the trial but the make-up day of was heavier than she did at my trial). In general she was sullen and not excited, which was in contrast to the general vibe in the morning, which my entire bridal party noted (the getting ready portion is so exciting with so much anticipation as other brides and maids/MOH can likely attest to!). I think MG does beautiful work and has many different stylists but this was my individual experience.

MG Hair and Makeup exceeded my wildest expectations! From the start, Denise was responsive and informative, ready to answer any questions or concerns I had. She set up my trial run with Talia, who was incredibly kind and patient. Leading up to the wedding, I was sent a detailed breakdown for hair and makeup for each girl, along with specific instructions on how to prepare for that morning. It was really important to me that I still looked like me on my wedding day, just an enhanced version. I also have pretty short hair, so I knew working with that was going to be a challenge. My pre-wedding consultation with Talia went well, but she BLEW me away on my wedding day. She showed up on time (really important for an already anxious bride) and was on schedule down to the minute the whole time. I let each of my bridesmaids do what they wanted for hair and makeup, and Talia was careful to listen to each them and make sure they were happy with the outcome, which was really important to me. When my turn came along, Talia mentioned that my hair had grown some since our consultation and that we could probably do something extra with it. AND DID SHE. My hair turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I had it colored shortly before the wedding, and the way she styled it mixed the light/dark pieces and gave the updo amazing depth. My makeup was also exactly how I wanted it. I was concerned about my hair and makeup staying in place through a humid June day full of pictures, an outdoor ceremony and heavy dancing, but I had nothing to worry about. My hair never budged and my makeup still looked great in pictures from later on in the evening. Not only did Talia do an amazing job with everyone, but she was also just really great to have around that morning. She made me feel at ease and comfortable, and it was like having one of the girls around while we got ready. I absolutely recommend MG Hair and Makeup. You won’t be disappointed!

My initial encounter with Denise was incredibly pleasant. She shared a lot of information with me on the variety of packages available (# of stylists vs. # of hours, add-ons, etc.). She continued to remain in constant communication with me. She also organized a timeline based on the girls’ responses to their hair and skin types. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Denise set me up with Rachel for my trial. I’m not a makeup person and Rachel walked me through each step of what she was doing, why she was doing it, and how I could recreate a similar look. For someone that knows almost nothing about makeup, this was incredibly helpful. She spent over three hours doing my trial to make sure everything was what I wanted, which exceeded my expectations of a trial. In the end, I chose MG because of how kind and warm Rachel was (as well as her styling abilities!) and the ease of working with Denise. Also, the fee for my trial counted towards my total hair and makeup bill – which was a nice perk! On the day of the wedding, Allie and Destinee helped with hair and makeup for my seven bridesmaids while Rachel did hair and makeup for the mother of the groom, my mother, and me. Everyone had very different hair/skin types, as well as some allergies, conditions, etc. Rachel, Allie, and Destinee paid special attention to my girls’ requests (e.g. covering cystic acne or skin conditions). In the end, everyone’s hair and makeup looked incredible! They all got exactly what they wanted – which is exactly what I wanted! My makeup stayed intact throughout the entire day/night, despite July’s extreme temperatures and humidity! My hair did come a bit loose throughout the night (I’ll blame the veil!), but it didn’t look like a huge mess (almost like it was supposed to be that way!). Overall, my girls and I had a great experience with MG Hair & Makeup. Would highly recommend them to all NYC brides!

Julia and Cynthia came to get us ready for my wedding! They were sweet, hard-working and amazing at what they do! They listened to everyone’s needs and adjusted anything we needed. Everyone getting ready raved about them! I could not be happier with how punctual and thoughtful they were. Thank you thank you!

MG Hair & Makeup are fantastic!! Talia did an amazing job on both my mom and me on my wedding day for both hair and makeup. She listened to everything I said, and it was exactly what I wanted. Rachel took care of my bridesmaids and again nailed it. Everyone was so happy. The girls were both very professional and sweet, adding to a fun morning getting ready for our big day. Would definitely recommend.

So easy to work with, efficient, great energy, reasonable pricing, and total professionals! Oh and I LOVED how my hair and makeup looked :)

I cannot say enough great thinks about Nikolette! Not only did everyone’s hair look gorgeous (I especially LOVED mine), she truly went above and beyond in every way to help. I had Nikolette stay until after the ceremony (and I am SO thankful I did because we had the WINDIEST May day ever, so we desperately needed touch ups), and she was incredible - fixing my hair between shoots, holding and adjusting my train, running back to the suite to grab my bouquet, holding any jacket or accessories during photos. She never sat down, and at every beak was touching up my hair and my bridesmaid's hair in between photos, before the ceremony, after the ceremony. One of the reasons I booked Nikolette was because of her sweet and calm personality, as I knew she'd be a great energy to have on the day, but we went above and beyond any expectations. Everyone could not stop talking about how amazing she was!!! Truly recommend!

Aylin was incredible. Not only is she an absolute doll of a person, but she's a machine. She stayed on schedule and did hair and makeup for me, my mom, my mother and law and sister. She really listened to what we wanted, but was realistic about what was possible. She nailed it every time. Her work is beautiful and I could not have been happier with the result. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect! My bridesmaids looked natural and radiant. The artists were kind and so talented. Nikolette made me look beyond what I could ever have imagined. All of the guests commented on how stunning all of our hair and make up was. Denise was a rockstar and so easy to communicate with. Thank you!

I can't recommend MG Hair and Makeup highly enough. Denise from MG was extremely easy to coordinate with in scheduling makeup appointments for my engagement photos, bridal shower, makeup trial, and of course the actual wedding day. She was always quick to respond and flexible when issues came up (e.g., we had to reschedule our engagement photos twice). Talia was my makeup artist for the wedding day and my engagement photos - she did makeup for myself, my mom, and 7 bridesmaids, as well as hair for 3 of the bridesmaids. Everyone looked STUNNING and naturally beautiful - Talia totally got what everyone was looking for and made it happen. We also had a fairly tight schedule with so many people getting ready, and she kept everything running right on time. On top of that, she was a sweetheart and a pleasure to have around on the wedding day. If I need professional makeup for any events in the future, I wouldn't think twice about booking with MG again - they are amazing.

MG Hair & Makeup were amazing. I was thrilled with their level of professionalism -- and everyone looked and felt so beautiful! Allie and our other stylist were warm and brought a fun, relaxed vibe to our group as we were getting ready. Would highly recommend!

Working with MG Hair + Makeup on my wedding day was one of the best decisions I made! I reached out very early on for makeup and hair for myself, my mother + mother-in-law and three bridesmaids. Denise immediately followed up and scheduled not one – but two trials to be sure that I was completely happy with my wedding day looks. We worked together to create a timeline the accommodated everyone, allowed for enough time and made it so we weren’t up at the crack of dawn. When I was unsure about extensions and an additional artist being necessary, she quickly set up a call to speak with Megan – the founder – who talked me through everything (without upselling or pressuring) and made me feel completely at ease with my decisions. Incredible customer service! My artist – Rachel – was absolutely terrific. She was incredibly sweet and listened to all of my concerns. She made me super comfortable and it was easy to discuss looks with her, what I liked, adjustments to make, etc. I wound up being 5 months pregnant at the time of my wedding and was VERY self-conscious about my hair and skin which were much more fussy than they had been in my trials. Rachel made me look and – most importantly – feel amazing. In fact, this was my number one stressor leading up to my wedding. I was completely shocked at the transformation and instantly felt so comfortable. Nothing too dramatic, just an improved version – addressing all of my concerns and problem areas we discussed. She finished my whole party on time (I actually think it was early!) and everyone looked stunning. She and MG Hair + Makeup were fabulous and I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

I could not have imagined a smoother process booking hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids and mother of the bride! Alicia with MG Hair and Makeup was a SAINT and so patient and helpful during trials. We did two of them and each time I had feedback for her and she ran with it and day of NAILED all the wedding party looks. She did hair and makeup for 6 ladies and was completely on schedule and everyone ended up happy! As the bride I worried about my makeup because I've had bad experiences in the past but Alicia and MG achieved the exact look I wanted! It was not overdone but just right. Book immediately! Pricing is very reasonable for the level of talent you get, too!

We used Julia and were very happy with her talent and professional. I showed her a few photos of what I was looking for and she was able to bring it to life. I'm not someone who regularly wears makeup and was somewhat fearful of wearing too much makeup on my wedding day but Julia made me feel elegant and classy with just the right amount of makeup. She was early, did a fabulous job with the hair and makeup for my sister and mother and she didn't leave until everyone was happy with how they looked. She was also open to changes and suggestions to make us happy. I definitely recommend her and would use her again.

For hair and makeup I can suggest Andrea Rodriguez, located Bocagrande cll 10A #2-38, Castellana Av El Consulado, Cartagena-Bolivar. Phone: 301-242-2550.

The two artists who did my and my bridal party's hair and and make up were amazingly talented - they listened to everyone's preferences attentively and the end results were breathtaking. There is a paid trial first at a location of your preference, after which you can decide whether you'd like to go with the artist or not. The staff is responsive and accommodating to your needs. Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend. MG offered a variety of hair and makeup options which were reasonably priced. I chose a package that provided hair and makeup services for 5 people plus the bride as well as a hair and makeup trial. Nikolette came to my home for the trial which was super convenient. I provided picture samples of each hair and makeup and she mirrored them perfectly. She then took pictures to use for the big day. The day of the wedding she was exceptional! She stuck to the timeline in providing hair and makeup for everyone in the package and still had time to touch everyone up just as we had to leave and we all looked beautiful. I would highly recommend MG Hair & makeup and Nikolette

I tried out MG for makeup about three times before pulling the plug and allowing my deposit to be dissolved. The company gets three stars for being professional, on-time, and accommodating. However their artists (or at least the ones I was sent) are average at best. Every time I had a trial done the outcome was on par with how I am capable of doing my makeup on the day-to-day. One artist didn't even attempt to fill in or shape my eyebrows and when I asked if she could she said she didn't really have the right tools but would on my wedding day, eyebrows are a huge part of framing the face what makeup artist doesn't have eyebrow tools? Also while talking to one of the artist she had only been doing makeup for two years but the website leads you to believe all their artist are top notch, experienced, and specially trained. While I am sure they rightfully earned all the awards their websites boast that is not who is getting sent to your home for your wedding. Those artists are reserved for events, celebrities etc. For a $100 more than this company wanted I was able to hire a true celebrity artist who works out of Montauk/ The Hamptons providing all of the Makeup to the highly acclaimed Gurneys Hotel as well as the surrounding vacationing celebrity's. At first it was harder to find her being that she is a small operation with out the advertising department that MG has but she blew the skills of the MG artists out of the water, research is worth a lot for such an important aspect of your wedding.

MG Hair and Makeup did such a wonderful job on my wedding and my bridal party. I had a trial in April with Rebecca and she did a lovely job of listening to my wishes and staying so professional. On the day of, Val and Rebecca did hair and makeup for me, the bridal party and both mothers. They worked so hard to listen to everyone's wishes and really made everyone feel so special. Denise was also so helpful and professional, she made me feel confident going into the wedding. Definitely would recommend!

MG Hair and Makeup was great to work with. My small October wedding in NYC didn't have a bridal party and MG was one of the few places who would do early morning on-site one person hair/makeup for a reasonable price. Denise made it easy to schedule everything, and Nikolette was very sweet and did a great job for the trial and day of. I have long, curly hair, and she made my hair look great. Everything held up great for the whole day.

From the very beginning, MG Hair and Makeup were great to work with. Denise is the primary contact, and she's incredibly responsive, patient, and organized. My HMU artist for both my engagement photos and wedding day was Martina (Level 3), who I adored. Martina was professional, punctual, and knowledgable. She was so friendly and easy going and made the whole process fun. I decided leading up to the wedding to change what we decided at the trial, but I wasn't worried about it because I wholly trusted Martina. (I initially thought I wanted glam but decided I wanted something more between glam and natural.) She knocked it out of the park and executed my new concept flawlessly, and she made my mom look like a babe to boot. For both my engagement photos and wedding day, she provided little samples for touching up, which was incredibly helpful. I entered the process not knowing which artist to ask for because it seems all the artists with MG Hair and Makeup are great, but I cannot recommend Martina enough!

From start to finish I had a great experience with MG. Before my trial and my wedding, Denise emailed with me extensively to make sure I would get exactly what I wanted. Allie did my hair and make up and my mother’s make up and she did a really fantastic job on both of us. She was so wonderful, I couldn’t have been happier!

I used MG for my engagement photos and am not booking for my wedding. They do have low pricing for concierge service and the girl was early and very professional. She listened to what I wanted, however I was not pleased with my results. I have thick curly hair that my stylist was not able to work with. It ended up very frizzy and my waves fell out within an hour. The scheduling service also took a week to confirm my appointment AFTER I paid in full. I specified on my sheet that I have long and thick hair, however they did not leave any extra time for this. My stylist arrived early and I was still late to my photos.

I LOVED using MG Hair & Makeup at my wedding! Cinthya & Julia provided hair & makeup services for myself, my bridal party, my mom and my mother in law. They were very reasonably priced (we booked the 2 artists package for 4 hours) and did an incredible job. Denise was great to work with, she always responded very quickly and thoroughly to any questions I had. Cinthya came to my house for the trial and put me at ease right away- she was so sweet and I felt immediately confident that she understood exactly how I wanted my hair and makeup done. She did a fantastic job at the trial, and when I had a couple of small changes that I wanted made the day of the wedding, she did a flawless job! The day of the wedding, she & Julia were so prompt and professional- they managed everything perfectly to be done exactly on schedule. I can't recommend MG Hair & Makeup highly enough! Thank you Cinthya & Julia for making me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Everyone at MG Hair & Makeup was such a pleasure to work with. Denise was extremely responsive to all questions and ensured everything for the big day was scheduled to perfection. The artists arrived promptly and the timeline was maintained, providing for a stress free experience. We had 11 people getting hair & makeup done, and Cynthia & Martina were able to keep everything on schedule while perfecting each person's preference for both hair & makeup. Absolutely everyone looked amazing, and both the hair and makeup stood up for the entire day and evening.

Easy easy easy to deal with. Valbona was very patient with with my indecisiveness from trial to day of. The two ladies took great care of me and my girls (and my mom) on the wedding day with ease. They were fun, friendly and professional. Thank you!

Thank you to MG hair and makeup for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! From the trial, to the day of, it was a seamless and wonderful experience. The artists were prompt, listened to what everyone wanted and made sure everyone felt and looked their best. It was amazing that they were able to get myself, my mother, and seven bridesmaids ready in four hours! They were calm, efficient and made sure everyone was happy! Denise was very responsive and accommodating which made booking extremely easy! I would recommend MG to any bride! THANK YOU!

I had a hard time searching for a vendor that would work for me, but once I found MG Hair and Makeup I was sold. They made the process so easy! Every step of the way Denise was incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions. Valbona, my stylist, was so sweet and did such a wonderful job at my trial. She listened to the look I was going for, and then modified to best flatter my features. Day of she was the perfect person to be with. You don't really think about how much of your day you will spend in hair and make-up, but it's significant and Valbona is easy to talk to and made the whole process fun and easy. If possible, she out-did herself day of. No matter how hot it was (I was married in July) or how much I cried, my makeup did not move!! My hair also lasted all night long, even while dancing the night away. I recommend without reservation!

MG was a good choice for my recent wedding. I used them for both my engagement shoot and wedding day hair and makeup. In order to simplify things, I knew I wanted a vendor who could do both, which MG offers. I got great service, from the appointment assistant to my actual hair/makeup artist. However, where they lost a star is that I didn't think my artist was skilled in doing Asian eye makeup. I was told that all of their artists were trained in doing makeup for all ethnicities, but I definitely had to handhold the application of my eye makeup. Also, I would love to see more transparency in the tiers of their pricing packages. All in all, a solid option for your hair & makeup needs if you are not too high maintenance!

I had Nikolette for my trial and my wedding day and could not be happier! She was wonderful to work with - very open to any/all of my makeup and hair ideas at my trial as well as taking notes with any comments or concerns that I had. One the day of my wedding, Nikolette and another stylist were on time to the venue and stayed from 7 AM to 1/1:30 PM to do hair and makeup for my entire bridal party as well as myself and all the mothers. They were patient and cheerful - they even allowed for us all to get quick touch-ups before the left for the day. Everyone was so pleased with their hair and makeup and it lasted throughout the night! Denise, the assistant to the director, was also fabulous to work with!

MG Hair & Makeup was a dream to work with!! I got a little overwhelmed trying to find someone for the wedding. After awhile, all of the websites and reviews started to blur together. However, after my first email exchange with Denise, I knew I had found the right company! She was always responsive to questions and usually anticipated the information I might need. Valbona, the stylist, was immediately friendly and at ease during the trial. Through conversation and photos, she discovered exactly what I wanted. On the day, Val was calm and personable with each member of the wedding party. She did MOG's hair, makeup for my two sisters and mother, and my hair and makeup. Valbona worked ahead of schedule, allowing us to relax a bit between services. We all looked and felt stunning!!

I chose MGH&M initially for the high ratings here, and the convenience of having the make-up artists come to us instead of having to find a salon near my venue and figure out that logistical nightmare. I was able to do a hair/ makeup trial for myself, and a makeup trial for my mom, at my parents’ home, before deciding to book Nikolette for the wedding. We ended up adding another artist, Gianna, to help shorten our day-of schedule, and Nikolette came with us to the venue to do touch-ups before photos and before the ceremony. They both did a great job. Gianna did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids’ makeup, and Nikolette recreated my hair and makeup from the trial perfectly. They were both patient and accommodating to the moms, which was so important for making the rest of the day run smoothly!

Wow wow wow, I have never felt more comfortable and beautiful in my own skin!! Cinthya took care of my hair and make up as well as 5 bridesmaids and everyone of us looked spectacular. She was accommodating, quick and got us out the door looking flawless and right on schedule. I was so at ease during the whole process. Email correspondence was prompt, succinct and helpful. Do not hesitate to reach out to MG Hair and Makeup, you will not be disappointed!!!

Alicia was awesome! I did my hair and makeup trial at a hotel in NY and she was professional and prompt. I described to her what I wanted and showed her some pictures, and she nailed the look completely. She did my hair and makeup for the ceremony and reception (which were on two different days) a couple of months later, and she did a totally amazing job, replicating precisely what she had done at the trial. She also made my close friend and sister look gorgeous. And to top it all off, she is friendly and easygoing. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Alicia, was amazing! She was punctual, professional, timely, and my entire bridal party was beyond satisfied with both their hair & makeup. We all had so many compliments the day of, and I continue to get them on my wedding photos. I gave her a basic look I was going for "whimsy" and she nailed it! I highly MG Hair & Makeup, as from my experience with her I know they hire quality staff!

MG Hair and Makeup are incredible. The process of working with them from start to finish was so easy and stress free. Denise was extremely responsive and kind. She organized the schedule for me and my bridal party early on and accommodated all our requests for changes, she even got on the phone with my maid of honor who was panicking about her extensions two days before the wedding and she eased all her concerns about how they would be put in. Talia came over, gave me a hair and makeup trial and I was amazed by her professionalism, kindness and especially artistry. She is just SO GOOD at what she does. I told her what I had in mind and she brought my vision to life without a glitch, and I looked like myself, which is exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding she helped keep me calm when I thought we were not on schedule (we did fine with timing I was just nervous). Our hair and makeup lasted through HOURS of dancing and everyone looked amazing in the pictures. She even stayed a bit longer to put in my veil because the photographer wanted to take shots of me getting into my dress before it was put in. My family and I loved her so much that my sister asked for her to do her hair and makeup for her wedding day a month later, and again she did an amazing job. She also did the bridal party's hair and makeup that day and we were all thrilled with her work. I hope I have other occasions to work with MG, and especially Talia. You're making a great decision if you choose them for your big day!

Terrible! My trial took approximately 4 hours as we experimented with different hairstyles and makeup. I was happy with the end result and figured the day of the wedding would be relatively straightforward. For the wedding day, we allotted 2 hours for hair and makeup. Unfortunately, it took THREE hours before I was ready. A wedding day runs on a very tight schedule and, to quote an email that MG sent me, “every minute counts.” The photographer was paid hourly so this was wasted money as well as time. Our photographer suggested that 2.5 hours would be sufficient for all our wedding photos. However, because I was delayed by the stylist for an entire hour, we had limited time to squeeze in all our photographs. By the time my husband and I finished our first look photos, we only had ~30 minutes to squeeze in extremely rushed pictures with the wedding party and family. My hair stylist was very sweet and I hate to leave a terrible review for her. Unfortunately, these are memories I will never get back. I paid $450 + $70 in tip for their service and it was not worth it at all. MG Hair and Makeup refunded me $150 but that is nothing relative to what was spent on the wedding and, more importantly, the invaluable moments that weren’t captured.

I highly recommend using MG Hair & Makeup! Denise is fantastic, prompt In her responses and extremely accomadating. She made the entire process from booking the trial to planning my wedding day so easy. The stylists are also great, and very professional! I truly felt stunning on my big day, Rebecca did an amazing job on my hair and makeup ! Thank you!!

I booked hair and makeup last minute realizing I didn't want to do my own for my big day (I know... what was I thinking?!). They were very accommodating to the time constraint and even though I did not do a run through, they nailed my hair and especially my makeup! I wanted a natural look, and they nailed it!!

MG Hair and Makeup is the way to go for wedding hair and makeup! Nikolette is very talented and came to my house for a trial run 6 months before my wedding. She was very patient and tried a few different hairstyles and makeup combinations, listening to all of my thoughts and concerns along the way. We found something I really loved after she tried a few different styles. On the day of the wedding, Nikolette came very early and was full of energy as she did the hair of my 4 bridesmaids, plus my hair and makeup. She did a fabulous job on everyone's hair and we finished everything right on time (which is truly an accomplishment given that we all have VERY thick hair)! She's very talented! My goal was to have very natural looking makeup and make my curly and thick hair look as natural as possible. She achieved that and I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup at the wedding! Though they are not the least expensive studio, it is really worth the price because of their reliability, knowledge and talent. You want a hair/makeup artist that you can trust on that very busy day! I felt truly beautiful that day - thank you Nikolette!

If I could give MG 10 stars I would! When I started searching for someone to do my hair and make up I was completely overwhelmed! There are so many options, especially in the city so my wonderful photographer suggested Ashley from MG, and I am so glad he did! Right from the very beginning I felt at ease with Ashley! I wear light makeup on a daily basis, so I was concerned that the application would be really heavy and I wouldn't look myself. Ashley was able to make me look and feel like myself, but only better! She listened to all my concerns and was able to make adjustments so I was completely happy. Ashley is so talented, and on top of it all is a wonderful and kind- she kept me at ease through the trial and we had a great time on my wedding day! Ashley and MG Hair and Makeup went above and beyond any expectations I had for my special day! Thank you for everything!!

Request Ashley! She's extremely talented in both hair and makeup. She arrived on time, and after the initial trial I just knew that I had nothing to worry about when it came to my wedding day look. Not many stylist know how to do up-do's, and for her it just comes as second nature. I showed her multiple photos, and said I wanted my front to look one way and my part another and the back this way. She listened to every detail, and completely understood how I wanted to look and feel on my big day and just made it happen. I hired Ashley for my bridal shower, and I just booked her again for my best friend to get her hair down for her shower! I just cannot rave about her enough. My entire experience with MG Hair & Makeup was a breeze, and I would book them again in a heart beat for my next event!

My experience with MG Hair & Makeup was incredible. Denise was so lovely to work with and answered my questions quickly and effortlessly, and matched me with the most amazing hair stylist, Cinthya, for my wedding day. Her calming energy and her peaceful presence put me and all of my girls at ease on the wedding day, and her work is FLAWLESS. I had a very specific vision for my hair, and she totally nailed it, and made it even more beautiful than I would have ever thought possible. If you're a bride who wants to feel beyond beautiful on your wedding day, MG Hair & Makeup will make it happen with ease!

I cannot say enough great things about MG Hair & Makeup as a company and also about the artist Nikolette! Nikolette is so versatile in her work, she did the hair and makeup for several of us in my bridal party and each lady had different ideas of what they wanted (some very natural/barely there makeup and others a heavier "made up" look) and Nikolette was able to fulfill all of these requests! The same goes with her hair styling, some girls were very simple and others had way more intricate updos/braids/whimsical curls and Nikolette was able to do this all. She is also a pleasure to work with in general she is very kind and professional. MG's management and customer service is also TOP NOTCH! I ended up asking for 2 trials initially because I did not love my makeup the first time, and the second time I loved my makeup because Nikolette is very open to opinions and she appreciates feedback, I felt very comfortable asking her to tweak some things here and there with my hair and makeup. Then a few months after my first 2 trials I changed my mind about my hair and Denise (who is the one who always promptly responds to any emails) quickly offered a 3rd trial! They were so accommodating I didn't ask for the 3rd trial but right away they offered it in order to make me more comfortable/prepared for the actual wedding day.

It was a pleasure working with MG hair and makeup for my wedding. Denise was extremely helpful and responsive when planning and scheduling services for myself and my bridal party. Nikolette was my artist and she did a wonderful job. She was very professional and accommodating to my bridal parties requests. I would highly recommend MG hair and makeup to anyone.

I had the best wedding day with the amazing William. He had a very calm and soothing energy and I couldn't have imagined having anyone else . I would suggest doing a trial before... he spent 4 hours on me, making sure I got exactly what I wanted... and when it came down to the wedding day he remembered exactly what I wanted. I highly suggest him, and it is such reasonable price in NYC.

MG Hair & Makeup provided hair and makeup services for myself, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mother as well as my mother in law. Working with MG could not have been easier. From the start, Denise was incredibly responsive. I was able to quickly set up a trial and the artist, Allie, even changed my look after the trial to fit an event I was attending later that night! Leading up to the wedding, MG reached out at multiple points which was really nice because the last thing you want to worry about when you are planning a wedding is making sure your vendors are on track. The day of services were a breeze. Allie and Rebecca were so nice and professional and they were open to the different hair styles each girl wanted. When I mentioned to Allie that I wanted to change my makeup look a little bit from what we had done during the trial, she was totally receptive and nailed the look. I would highly suggest MG to anyone getting married. This is a vendor you can count on !

MG Hair and Makeup is hands down THE BEST. Denise is SO wonderful to work with and makes communication easy breezy. Allie did my make up and made me feel extraordinary. 💕 You guys are the best!

Working with MG Hair & Makeup was such a wonderful experience. Nikolette was my makeup artist and I loved her energy from my trial to the day of the wedding. She did my makeup exactly as I pictured it and if I gave her any feedback or changes, she didn't hesitate to make it exactly what I wanted. My bridal party adored her as well and they were all so thrilled with how their makeup came out. We are all very different and I think it is a sign of a truly talented and brilliant makeup artist when she can still get everyone's unique style and turn it into different, yet equally outstanding looks. Denise at MG was also a dream to work with. She answered my inquiries so quickly and was able to give me quick, professional responses to any questions or concerns I had. Before MG, I had a very negative experience trying to book another makeup artist who was making up prices as he went and clearly trying to overcharge for services. I never once felt that way working with MG. They are the perfect beauty stop for a bride or bridal party looking for a professional experience working with brilliantly talented makeup artists!

My hair turned out exactly the way I wanted it!

Honestly, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. I have zero complaints! My now husband and I won a contest to get married at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. However, we did not find out we were winners until about 3 weeks before. Anyone who has been planning a wedding knows how much time in advance you need to book everything, especially hair & makeup..in NYC..on a holiday. MG hair & makeup could not have been easier to work with. Not only did they reply to my emails within the same day (mostly within the hour), but they also provide more than reasonable prices for their amazing services! My artist, Tracey, was the BEST! She arrived to my hotel room even earlier than expected, set up and we got right to work. She asked for pictures and gave me exactly what I was looking for, if not better. Not only is she super talented, but the sweetest easiest person to speak to. She definitely helped put my mind at ease during such a crazy morning. If your questioning MG Hair & Makeup for your big day, don't! Go with them, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Tracey and the rest of the team for making my special day that much better!! :)

I had a great experience using MG hair and makeup for my wedding day in NYC. My stylist was Talia and she was very professional yet very personable. And very talented! I highly recommend her! I also recommend doing the air brush makeup! It's flawless and beautiful in photos. Thank you MG hair & makeup ( Denise and Talia) for making this process so easy and stress free.

I hired MG Hair and Makeup for come to your home convenience and great reviews on The Knot. Upon requesting more information, Denise immediately contacted me with a quote and availability. I was able to effortlessly set up an trial for both hair and makeup at my apartment within a month. MG Hair and Makeup paired my with my stylist Tracey, and I could not have been happier. She was outgoing, fun, and listened to everything I explained about my wedding look. She gave me ideas in order to help complete the bridal look of my dreams. I booked her immediately after my trial, and on the day of my wedding, she was early, professional, and just perfect! She had my bridesmaids and I laughing, even though I was extremely nervous, and I could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend MG Hair and Makeup (and Tracey) to any bride looking for an easy way to get the perfect look on her wedding day!

Working with MG Hair & Makeup was a true pleasure. From the moment I contacted them through my wedding day, they were beyond helpful and accommodating. Denise, the Assistant to the Director, responded to all of my emails quickly and was very helpful throughout the entire process. She hel
