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.
Any questions?

I am so happy I chose JM Bridal Hair and Makeup for our wedding. From the trial to the wedding, Michele and Jan were professional and listened to exactly what I was looking for and helped to plan and execute a perfect look. They really helped me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. They were so adaptive to the needs of my bridal party on the day of, and kept the mood relaxed and calm. Would 100% choose them again and recommend them to my friends!

I had the pleasure of working with Michele at first, she color corrected my hair before my wedding and with minimal commentary she got the perfect color. Her confidence had me at ease 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!

Efficient & professional team hired for Friday & Saturday for my daughter's destination wedding. Our group of 9 ranged in age from 20-60.
Requests for specific hair & makeup styles were handled very well. The team offered helpful suggestions so everyone received their best look! Highly recommended.

Michelle and Jan did my bridal hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. They were super professional and had us all ready with extra time to spare. Their work was amazing and me and my bridal party were very satisfied and it lasted all night. I go to Michelle and Jan for all my special occasions now and am always happy with the results! I highly recommend them!

Jan and Michelle did hair and make up for myself, my daughter (4 years old at the time) bridal party and my mother in law. They were on time and professional. They made myself and my daughter feel like princesses. Their work is impeccable and they are both all around amazing women.
