I truly couldn’t have picked a better hair and makeup team for my wedding day. They made the whole morning feel calm, fun, and so special. They really listened to what I wanted, and when I saw the final look, I still felt like myself, just more confident and put together. Everything lasted all day through tears, hugs, and dancing without a single worry. They were amazing with my bridal party to everyone looked beautiful, but more importantly, everyone felt comfortable and happy. The whole morning had such a fun, relaxed vibe because of them. They even did a quick touch-up for my dad at the house (his bald head was photo-ready!), which he loved, and he got to be in the getting-ready photos in the album they sent me, which was such a special touch. If you’re deciding who to book, I can’t recommend them enough they genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do.

We used Park Ave Bridal for hair and makeup on two separate days for a blended Italian/Indian wedding celebration. One of the days we went to the salon which was great, and the other day the team came to the hotel. We had a variety of skin tones and different types of hair that the artists had to manage and did so professionally, skillfully, and beautifully! We all felt so comfortable and happy with the result, absolutely will use again for any future needs and will recommend to anyone!

Jan and Michelle did a beautiful job with hair and makeup on my mother and me. We did a trial where we experimented to get my vision right. I felt the trial look was a little more ...

glam than I wanted. I communicated this with them and they delivered a simpler look on the wedding day, which was perfect and more natural. They also arrived early to my home with all the equipment they needed. They got both my mom and I done in an efficient manner. I arrived on time to my ceremony. Michelle treated my hair delicately, and Jan used an airbrush that makes the foundation look nice and lightweight.

ase and needless to say that's the best thing a bride could ask for. That Saturday was my wedding day and let me tell you, I loved Michele (hair) and Jan (make up), my hair and make up was flawless and their energy was great. My make up lasted the whole day/night with no need to reapply or freshen up. My hair was intact as well... until the Spanish rock music started (that was all my fault not Michele's). I would 100% recommend these ladies for any occasion. They were great!
