Michelle is incredible! From the start with booking she was kind and communicative. On wedding day she and her team bring the best calm energy to the room. All of my girls and mom ...
loved the way their hair and makeup came out - my best friend who got married 3 weeks later ended up switching her bridal day of hair to match what one of the stylists gave her! I felt my absolute best all day and night thanks to Michelle's work. Can't recommend her enough!
Michelle and her team were amazing! She was professional, easy to work with, and helped keep the morning moving smoothly. My mother in law had sensitivity to some of the make up pr...
oducts and Michelle was able to calm her nerves and leave her feeling and looking beautiful. Michelle was an integral part of keeping a calm and positive energy to set us up for the perfect day. My bridesmaids have told me that the makeup they had from my wedding is their new gold standard when receiving services at other events. Working with her was a dream (:
Michelle and her incredible team were an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! From the very beginning of the planning process to the big day itself, they exceeded every sing...
le expectation. On the morning of the wedding, they arrived exactly on time, completely organized, and brought a wonderful, grounding energy into the bridal suite. All of my bridesmaids commented on how seamless and entirely stress-free the morning felt because of them.One of the things I appreciated most was how Michelle handled scheduling and staffing. While some vendors charge extra to bring on an assistant or force you to start at a crazy early hour, Michelle automatically staffed her team based on my specific head count. She took that stress entirely off my plate, and it meant we could all enjoy a relaxed, reasonable morning.As for the results, my hair and makeup were absolutely perfect and exactly what I had envisioned. Most importantly, the look was incredibly durable—both my hair and makeup stayed completely flawless through a full night of non-stop dancing. I am so grateful to Michelle and her team for making our morning so special and for helping me feel so confident as I walked down the aisle!
I hired Michelle and her team for my wedding in Brewster last year and it was truly an amazing experience. As an out-of-state bride, it was a challenge finding vendors without meet...
ing them in person. From the first phone call, to the day of the wedding Michelle was great. She is sweet, professional, and amazing at what she does. She was a calm presence on the day of the wedding day and ensured that each person getting their hair and make up done was happy with their look. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to any Cape Cod bride!

Michelle and her assistant did the hair and makeup for myself, five bridesmaids, and my mother last year. Every single one of us looked and felt so beautiful after they worked thei...
r magic. Michelle is so patient, kind, and professional. She listened to all my feedback from the trial and I was simply blown away when I saw the final product the morning of my wedding. I trusted her completely but she really made me feel so beautiful and ready for the “I do!” We were a fairly laid back group, playing charades and games all morning and Michelle and her assistant morphed right into the fun, keeping a calm and relaxing presence. We really had the best, most effortless morning because of their help. Plus, we all felt so naturally pretty which was the goal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle and her team. I wish we could get married again every year just to get pampered like that again :)
I can’t say enough amazing things about Michelle! She did my makeup for my wedding day, along with my mom and four bridesmaids, and truly exceeded every expectation. Not only did s...
he make me feel beautiful, she created such a calm, fun, and stress-free atmosphere while we were getting ready. My mom and bridesmaids looked stunning, felt confident, and absolutely loved their looks.
My makeup lasted all day and night, even through all of the happy tears, and looked flawless in every single photo. Michelle was incredibly sweet and even gave me a touch-up kit (which I never needed!). She listened closely to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and brought my vision to life perfectly.
I’m so grateful I chose her for such an important day. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further. I recommend her wholeheartedly and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

communication, and trials. I would recommend her to all of my friends getting married a thousand times over. Thank you so much for being a part of my special day and making it so wonderful!!
I knew that I wanted someone that could do both hair AND make up and Michelle was the perfect match. She is warm, professional and a perfectionist in the best way. She ensures that...
everyone sitting in her chair leaves feeling their best. After my trial, I wanted to make a few small tweaks to my hair and hearing “yes no problem! We can do that” put me at ease, knowing she would see to it that every detail was perfect on the big day. Michelle’s day-of team included 2 additional artists who were just as talented and kind as Michelle. My bridesmaids (6 total) and mother all loved their HMU. Cannot recommend Michelle enough!
Michelle and her team were phenomenal to work with. Michelle is professional, communicative and overall such a sweet, kind person. She and her team were on-time (6am start!) and re...

When searching for vendors to help with hair & makeup for my wedding, I received so many recommendations for Michelle! And I completely understand why! Michelle and her team are ju...
st amazing - so sweet, so professional, so talented. I love that she was a one-stop shop for both hair & makeup, which made the morning flow super seamlessly! Michelle and her team are so talented at both hair and makeup - everyone looked like an absolute goddess and looked like themselves (that is my pet peeve with professional makeup, you sometimes end up looking nothing like yourself). Makeup and hair lasted all night long! Highly highly recommend!
Michelle is hands down the best when it comes to bridal hair and make-up. From start to finish, she was professional, organized, and incredibly talented. She made me feel so comfor...
table and confident on my wedding day, and the final look was beyond what I imagined—absolutely perfect and natural. My make-up stayed perfect all day and night, and my hair held beautifully all day and into a night of dancing!
Her attention to detail and calming presence made the entire experience feel effortless. I truly can’t recommend Michelle enough—if you want to look and feel your absolute best, she is the one to call! 10/10!
From start to finish Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with. When we did the trial she was completely open to any feedback I had but she had 10/10 captured my vision and I ...
had no notes!! Then on wedding day her presence was so calming and she kept everyone right on schedule. It made the vibe in the room so fun and relaxing - no one was rushing and everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. We all have very different hair and make-up preferences and she perfected each and every one. I've been in several weddings and had HMU done multiple times in NYC and all over and Michelle was far and away the best I've experienced. HIGHLY recommend working with her for your Cape Cod wedding - she was truly one of the best vendor decisions I made and I was SO happy I found her.
Michelle and her team are incredible! I picked my venue and date after making sure Michelle (and my photographer Jannelle) were available for the date. Michelle had done my hair an...

It was the perfect day, and it wouldn't have been possible without Michelle! Thank you!!!

e me feel super comfortable. She was also willing to listen to exactly what I wanted and make adjustments- no matter how minor. I have had other experience with makeup artists where I was nervous to ask for something to be changed- this is not Michelle at all. She truly wants you to be happy with the way you look. She was such a calming presence on my wedding day, it was exactly what I needed. She and her team were right on time on that day and kept the prefect pace to make sure we were all ready. I felt so beautiful that day and love the way I looked in my pictures. Michelle and her team are incredible and I recommend them to any future bride!
Michelle did my NYE wedding hair and makeup, as well as my mom and sister’s! Michelle is truly a master of her craft and one of the sweetest souls! I didn’t really have a vision bu...
t Michelle just knew what to do!! I not only loved how I looked but I loved hanging with her at our trial and on the big day! She is very professional but brings the warmest energy.

that knows her stuff and can perform extremely well under pressure. My hair and makeup came out exactly how I envisioned ,flawless, and I couldn't be more thankful! Highly recommend!!!!
Michelle was the absolute best hair and makeup artist I could have asked for! From the first consultation to the hair and makeup trial to the wedding day, she was so communicative ...
and helpful with everything. I was so appreciative that she was able to change from my original plan to have my hair down, to day-of creating a beautiful updo when the wind proved to be too much for staying down. The makeup was also perfect, and the lashes felt so natural which I was also thankful for! Her associate, Tiffany, was also amazing and so helpful with my family deciding on their hairstyles. If you are planning a wedding on the cape, Michelle is absolutely the best hair and makeup artist you could work with.

vendor that does hair and make up sets you up for success. We had our trial a few months before the wedding, and she made sure she nailed the look I was going for before we ended. On the wedding day, her and her team are timely and professional. The truly were the start we needed to the wedding day - attentive, relaxed, and enthusiastic about their craft. All of my bridesmaids could not say enough good things about their experience as well. Michelle truly made me feel like the most beautiful bride, and I highly recommend using her for your beauty needs on your wedding day.

Michelle was an absolute dream to work with. After having a bad hair trial I was able to connect with her for a second opinion. Her attention to detail was incredible and she made ...
my wedding dream magic come to life. She really goes above and beyond for the bride. After finishing a comprehensive makeup look and flawless hairstyle. She went the extra mile to do a tattoo coverup on my back which made the photos feel timeless and elegant. Not only is her work amazing but her personality brings a warm and calming presence, something everyone needs on their big day. I was blown away by the quality of the make up, it was light and breathable yet somehow gave the full coverage of photoshop. The lash application was natural and gave gave me a big WOW factor. I cannot recommend her more to those looking for nothing less than perfect. She is well worth the $$$.

Any bride is in great hands when Michelle is in charge!

t I'll look back on our wedding photos someday and feel like my hair and makeup were timeless. I felt like me, but amplified. My absolute best version. Michelle was so responsive and easy to work with. I live in California but got married in Cape Cod. Michelle made herself available for a practice session when I was in town for our tasting and everything went to plan on our wedding day. Michelle and her assistant styled our whole bridal party, and everyone was thrilled. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to any bride looking for a kind, easy-to-work-with, talented stylist who can accommodate your unique expectations.
Michelle and her team were amazing! Our wedding was on August 18th 2023. I had a wedding party of 8 that got hair and makeup done as well as my grandmother, cousin and flower girl....
There was a lot to get done in a short amount of time and she planned everything perfectly to allow us enough time for getting ready pictures and first look. The hair trial was great and she let me test out a few styles. Michelle made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful that day. My hair stayed in all night (including my tiara) even with a high up do! And my make up stayed fresh the whole day even in August weather. I couldn't recommend her enough times! If you have the chance to book Michelle's and her team, do it!

to find a time that worked with my limited schedule. On wedding day, she showed up exactly when she said she would, and her and the team were unpacked and ready to go immediately. Everyone was wonderful and professional, and were able to help my mom (who NEVER does her hair and makeup) create a look that made her feel beautiful and comfortable. They even finished early and we had extra time before the photographer arrived! I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror because I felt so beautiful. Highly recommend Michelle for your cape wedding!
Michelle and her team were a dream to work with and made my wedding day so easy. From the beginning, I was nervous about finding a hair stylist who could highlight my natural curls...
. I have been in plenty of weddings as a bridesmaid and have never had someone treat my curls as an asset instead of an issue. Michelle made me feel at ease from our first conversation and I knew I was in good hands. My hair was absolutely stunning on the day, and I felt like a glamorous version of myself which is all I ever wanted. I could not have felt more beautiful.
Not only was Michelle the perfect person to do my hair and make up, but my entire bridal party, mom, and mother in law were so happy with their looks as well. Everyone loved how they looked/felt, and we had so much fun that morning while getting ready. We didn't feel rushed or pressure to look like anything but our best selves.
I could not be happier that I worked with Michelle for my wedding and have already recommended her to a few friends getting married in the area next year.
Our experience working with Michelle was incredible! From the beginning, she was so professional, organized, and helpful – walking us through the entire process and ensuring we had...
no unanswered questions prior to the wedding! Our hair and make-up trial went perfectly even with my very limited schedule. On Wedding Day, Michelle and her team arrived promptly, set up quickly, and seamlessly completed hair and make up for my mom, my mother-in-law, five bridesmaids, and me! Michelle was such a calming presence and so easy to work with – I could not recommend her enough!
My hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted, and Michelle honored every request! From pictures at 10 am to the after party ending at 1 am – my hair and makeup looked perfect the entire time. Michelle and her team are so talented - would choose them every time without hesitation.
Texas resident who got married in Massachusetts (my home state). Michelle did my hair and make-up. I combined my hair, make-up, cake testing, and venue visit into one day, which wo...
rked out well. I used to struggle with my make-up as a bridesmaid since it never quite felt like me. I was hesitant about choosing this vendor from 2000 miles away, but Michelle exceeded my expectations. You know that sinking feeling when you expect one thing in the mirror but get another? Not with Michelle. She truly listens and knows how to enhance your features. It was a first for me with a makeup artist. My hair stayed perfect all night, as did my bridesmaids', mom's, and mother-in-law's. She's a true professional! Don't hesitate to hire her.
Michelle was fantastic to work with throughout my wedding process! As someone who does not wear a lot of makeup or hair products, she made me feel so comfortable getting it all don...
e. She listened to me, offered some great ideas and ended up creating a look that was perfectly me! Michelle is also incredibly calming and kind. Her and her team's energy were perfect for the day of the wedding. I highly recommend her, especially if you're usually more of a less glam, more natural bride.
Michelle is wonderful to work with! She has a very sweet and calming presence. She listens carefully and does a thorough job. She made everything go so smoothly on my wedding day! ...

My wife and I were so thrilled with Michelle's beautiful work on our hair and makeup for our wedding day. Coming from out of state, we were so nervous about hiring someone from the...
