I used Pin It Up Bridal for hair and makeup (Hair by Renee and Makeup by Shannon), and we were thrilled! It was a hot and humid day, but my hair held beautifully—getting curlier as...
the night went on, but never frizzy. My makeup was exactly what I asked for, and my bridesmaids were just as happy with their hair and makeup. I chose a hairstyle that could be pinned up for the ceremony and taken down for dancing, and it looked perfect all night! I also found both the bridal services and my bridesmaids' services very reasonably priced compared to other hair and makeup vendors

ere were 9 of us. All of them were so nice to chat with while getting ready, on time, and got us all done with time to spare. I don’t think I could’ve been happier with my hair and makeup. It was exactly what I wanted. As for my friends, we’re in our 30s and experienced with the wedding circuit. Multiple girls said that this was the best hair and makeup they’ve had.

ir makeup done, and 6 getting hair and we finished up ahead of schedule and with everyone feeling like a cover model.
We threw everything at Shannon and Renee, girls with eczema, celiac, rosacea, and alopecia and they didn't even blink! It takes a true artist to look at a persons face and know exactly what look would enhance their natural beauty and boy do these women know what they're doing.
I can't sing their praises enough I'm so thankful to have booked them for my wedding day!

I have to give a special shoutout to Shannon - when she started my makeup I started to have a bit of an anxiety attack and she immediately jumped into action to take care of me and knew I was totally lying when I said I was fine. I will always be so grateful for her for that! They really go above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy.

nd Kristen was so responsive to any emails about scheduling, number of people, etc. i would highly recommend using them for your hair and makeup!
The only callout I would make is that they asked to follow me on Instagram and then took one of my pictures (not one they took) and posted it without asking or tagging me. I just happened to see it. It’s not a big deal - I loved the pic and happy to let them use it to showcase their great work - but it felt a little odd that they wouldn’t even ask. I would 100% recommend working with them, but if you’re concerned with them posting your pictures, make sure you say something or don’t share your Instagram account.

hey did such a bad job.
First off, they gave me one price for a trial. When I went in, the price was different. Their excuse? "Oh sorry we raised our prices". Thanks for telling me that after I signed a contract.
Two days before my wedding, Kristen the owner lets me know that the woman I trialed with wasn't going to do my hair. She gave some shady reason that didn't make sense. She assured me there would be no drop in quality. Another bait and switch. My hair looked AWFUL. I was depressed the entire morning of my wedding over it.
I felt ugly my entire wedding all because of this company. When I spoke to the owner the next day she apologized and refunded my portion of the hair only, but that was literally the bare minimum given what her employee did to my hair.
Please do not use this vendor.

ake and not myself I looked. I am so thankful to have found Pin It Up because from the very beginning of the process until the day of the wedding, they listen to your style preferences, and will work with you until you’re 100% happy with your look. Kristen is so helpful in setting you up and walking you through the booking/contract process, and is INCREDIBLY prompt with responses to questions/concerns. Christine, my make-up artist, was able to do a variety of styles based on differing preferences: a light make-up application & more natural look for me, an elegant & classic look for my mom, and a fun, bit bolder look for my bridesmaid. Similarly, Renee did a variety of styles for hair and did an outstanding job on all: more natural, looser waves for me, classic updo for my mom, and fun braids/alternative style for my bridesmaids. They both nailed every style perfectly. My mom, who hates having her picture taken, felt so beautiful on my wedding day that she wanted to be in photos. I felt absolutely beautiful and the hair/make-up lasted from the 6am application until midnight when we got back to the hotel. I could not have been happier with my experience here! Thank you to everyone at Pin It Up Bridal and a very special extra thanks to my artists for starting their days VERY early for my early afternoon wedding :)

10/10 recommend! Easy to work with, quick to respond, incredible results!! I was fortunate enough to be a bridesmaid for one of the weddings they worked and immediately booked them...
for mine. Kristen was so helpful and responsive to all of emails (my mom has sensitive skin and had a lot of questions about which products she should use). Shannon and Kaitlyn did AMAZING work. They were so kind and easy to work with during my trial, making sure I was liked every aspect of my style and on the wedding day it was exactly what I wanted (natural/soft glam). They have a good range of styles and all my girls were so happy with their results. What impressed me the most was the makeup and hair and they did for my mother and grandmothers- enough for it to pop in pictures while still having them look like themselves - they were all so happy. A few of my bridesmaids often have trouble with their hair holding curls, but were so impressed that the curls lasted through the next day! Shannon is a BOSS. She made sure (in a respectful way) that things moved on pace. I had 14 women getting their hair and makeup done and we somehow ended up finishing early! I can't thank the team enough for making the morning run so smoothly and having everyone look stunning. Definitely don't hesitate to book Pin It Up Bridal!

so complimented on how absolutely beautiful my bridal party looked! I felt like a total princess. Ashley B is the one I booked with for my hair and makeup and did my trial before I booked them because I didn’t want to regret my decision. (Pros: I booked someone I trusted, con’s is that you look at Pinterest and change your hairdo 1000 times so try to do trial closer to wedding date) HOWEVER, she absolutely did AMAZING on my hair (even though I totally did a different hairstyle from trial) For makeup, wanted a natural glam and once again she nailed it. I had 8 bridesmaids, my mom, my MIL and aunt all getting ready and I needed everyone ready by 12:30. They brought a team of 3, this included Ashley B, Kaitlyn and Shannon. What a dream team- we started at 8am and was done by 12:30! I gave them a an order of hair and makeup, and obviously wasn’t followed to a T but help us stay on time!
My hair and makeup along with all the other women stayed all afternoon and night! I would definitely use them for future events and cannot thank them enough!!

We had a TON of bridesmaids and other family members (14 people total) - and they finished with time to spare for touch ups! Everyone was happy with their hair, which is not common for most weddings.
I would definitely recommend Pit it Up for your wedding!

Great experience with Pin It Up! Kristen was great to work with throughout the whole process. She answered my endless questions promptly and made it super easy to schedule trials...
and the day of scheduling. Also was amazing at makeup!!
Listened to what I wanted and made it super natural looking.
Renee was so much fun to work with and created the exact hair I wanted. I couldn't believe how spot on she was with exactly what I had envisioned. I had a large bridal party, so they brought Shannon and Gabriella to help the day of. Both were great and accommodating --- Shannon even stayed late to help take some staging pictures with my photographer. Highly recommend using them for hair and makeup. Loved all the work they did on my bridesmaids and mother-in-law too. Great women to work with!!

Ashley T., Gabrielle and Kaitlyn arrived promptly at 530 on October 30th to do makeup and hair for 7 people after my daughter's first and second weddings were postponed due to cov...
id. I cannot say enough about these three girls. The makeup was flawless and lasted into the evening. The bridesmaids said it was the best makeup they had ever had. Everyone looked natural, bright, just beautiful. Gabby and Kaitlyn worked effortlessly to do 4 up dos, 2 down and one blowout. Gabby was seven months pregnant and on her feet for 3.5 hours. The hairdos were equally beautiful. They held up on the beach with a wind. I cannot be more pleased with Pin It Up. A few of the guests asked for their number. I would HIGHLY recommend this vendor.

The girls at Pin It Up are seriously all amazing. I chose them because they are local to where I live and I wanted a team that did both hair and makeup. They also have a salon on M...
ain St. in Belmar so it was a plus for me that I was able to go there for my trial (on the day of my engagement pics) and also my bridal shower hair and makeup. Leading up to my wedding Kristen was super easy to work with and quick about responding to emails/questions. On the day of my wedding we had four stylists come to do everyone and they were all great. Gabrielle did my hair and Shannon did my makeup and they both exceeded my expectations. I can be very picky about my hair and Gabrielle was patient and did an amazing job. There was a point where I decided I didn’t like my hairpiece anymore (because I’m crazy lol) and she literally bent the crystals on the comb and moved them around until it was shaped perfectly to fit my bun and I was happy. They were friendly, professional and, despite one of my bridesmaids hair taking an HOUR because she has so much hair to curl, we finished ahead of schedule and had plenty of time to relax the morning of the wedding!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Pin It Up Bridal! My original wedding date was set for September 2020 but ending up moving it to August 2021 - Kristen was so kind th...
roughout the whole process and made herself readily available via phone and email for all of my questions. Kaitlyn did my hair and did such a fabulous job, (wore it off the neck with a jeweled hair clip and veil) & it stayed completely in tact all throughout afternoon pictures and through an entire evening of dancing. Susie (hair) and Shannon (makeup) did such an amazing job as well - all of my bridesmaids & my mother had such a positive experience when getting their services done. All services started exactly on time (came to my house) and they were so kind, patient & professional. Would highly recommend!
