Ashley & Christina were amazing! Very professional and punctual but still kept the morning light hearted and fun. We didn’t have a bridal party, but they definitely made my Mom and Grandma feel beautiful & special! My hair & makeup held up all day & night and even survived windy beach photos. I can’t thank them enough for making me feel incredible on the best day ever!

I booked Pin it Up Bridal for my wedding and they did an incredible job! I was able to do a trial of my bridal hair and makeup with the artists who would be doing my day ahead of time, which was a huge help and relief for me to know what I was getting. Leading up to the event, I worked with Kristen and she was responsive throughout the process and helpful. I had Renee for hair, and Jacqueline for makeup. They were both so easy to work with and extremely professional. On the day of my wedding, they were calm, cool, and collected, and arrived promptly on time to start the day. They are both very talented at what they do. All of our hair and makeup came out amazing and lasted the whole night! Overall, I would definitely recommend them for your big day and am so thankful they were there for mine!

I knew about Pin It Up from a friend's wedding I was in and they did such a great job and were extremely professional. After working with Ashley and Christine for my trial, I knew I needed to hire them. They made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother in law look so beautiful! We booked them to start at 730 and they showed up early enough to be 100% ready to start doing hair and makeup at 730 on the dot. They made my day so much easier!

Pin it up bridal was amazing for my wedding 7/12!! I had Renee do my hair and Jac did my makeup. I had 2 trials with Renee for hair and ended up switching it up my wedding day and had her change it after doing it once on my wedding day. She listened and made it exactly what I wanted. My makeup was amazing and just what I asked for “no makeup makeup”. The rest of the team was Shannon on makeup and she did amazing on my bridesmaid. They looked stunning each and everyone of them. Then we also had Ashley doing hair and she was incredible too. They all did such a great job and were so nice to everyone. Just a pleasure to work with

Kristen from the start was very repsonsive and easy to communicate with. I was paired with Gina for hair and Jacquie for makeup and both my trial and day of was exactly what I had imagined. We had 4 artists for 9 people getting hair and make up done, and we were all done in less than 4 hours which was an hour earlier than scheduled. Best of all Pin it up's services go beyond bridal and I've found my new hair artist in Gina, she's been cutting and doing my hair since we met for my trial.

We got married 10/8/2023 at The English Manor and we had the best experience with hair and make up!!! I went for 2 trials because I was indecisive and still ended tweaking it on the day of and everything was exactly what I wanted. We got ready at the Sheraton in Eatontown (I believe it was 10 for each) and everything was so smooth. I did opt to have 2 hair and 2 make up artists so we didn’t have to start at the crack of dawn, and I highly suggest it. Overall Pin It Up was phenomenal and I would suggest them over and over again.

The day of she did my hair (Bride) , 4 bridesmaids and MOB and everyones hair came out perfect. She listened to exactly what each person wanted and did exactly that. My girls were so happy and loved talking with Renee during the morning. I cannot recommend Pin It Up Bridal enough!

I have worked with Pin it Up for three weddings now, including my own, and I could not recommend them enough.
Not only did my entire bridal party and both moms love the way they looked but I never felt more beautiful with how Shannon and Bryanna did my hair and makeup. Ashley was so good too doing both hair and makeup and everyone was really just so happy and we finished perfectly on time.
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.

Renee, Jac and Ashley were so talented and fun to work with. I had 11 women getting their hair done and 8 women getting their makeup done, but Renee, Jac and Ashley arrived early so we started right on time and had plenty of time for touch ups afterwards. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and looked so beautiful. I had two hair trials as my vision changed for what I wanted but Renee was patient and offered great advice for my hairstyle. She is so talented and my hairstyle turned out even better than I imagined. I’m already looking for a reason to get my hair and makeup professionally done just so I can work with them again!

Renee and Shannon were excellent!!! They are very professional and talented - I was so impressed with how they adapted to everyone’s styles, giving them exactly what they wanted. And 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.

We're so sorry for not asking permission before posting! Sometimes we repost photos that our artists have shared, and it can be challenging to find the bride on instagram to tag/ ask permission. Thank you for sharing this with us, as we will definitely be more mindful of doing this in the future!

Unfortunately, this company baited and switched me from the beginning, and as a result my hair looked absolutely awful on my wedding. It actually makes me sad to look at pictures they 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.

The experience I had with Pin It Up Bridal for my wedding went way above my expectations. I came to them after having a make-up trial where I left the salon crying because of how fake 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 :)

I was referred to Pin It Up by a friend who had gotten married several months before me
I wasn't sure where to go for hair and when i got the referral i said why not! the moment i contacted Kristen she was an absolute DOLL. made me feel at ease and listened to all my worries and concerns and answered all of my questions
Renee did my trial and let me tell you the second i met her i knew i wanted her to be a part of my wedding glam squad!! She is not only so polite but she can give amazing recommendations and is truly an expert in her craft. I highly recommend using Pin It Up!
Gina was also the second girl who helped with my bridal party's hair and she was wonderful!!!

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!

I was lucky enough to find Pin It Up Bridal a few months before my wedding. I knew immediately after the trial that I wanted to book the stylists; I worked with Kaitlyn (for hair) and Christine (for makeup). On the day of the wedding, they showed up on time and they did excellent work! Everyone looked great and I am so incredibly thankful. I was beyond relieved to have found them and I know they will continue to do amazing work for future brides and friends & fam in the future!

1000/10! Great experience working with PinItUp. Kristen was super responsive leading up to wedding and planning my day. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life and was also 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!!

The team is professional, responsive, and does really great work. Kaitlyn did my hair and she made it look even BETTER than the trial. I felt so gorgeous. I know my mom also loved her hair, and so did my bridal party. The pricing is reasonable, which is also why I would definitely check them out.

Pin it Up Bridal provided hair services for our wedding. They were amazing! I would highly recommend. They were reasonably priced, professional, and very timely.
We had Bryanna and Natalia, and both were great! I did not really have a set idea for my own hair- but, Bryanna came up with one based on a photo I showed her. It looked better than what I envisioned. She also had such a calming demeanor, which really helped to keep me at ease during a stressful day!
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 covid. 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 Main 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 throughout 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!

I was SUPER picky when looking for a hair stylist for my wedding (my hair is super fickle so I wanted to be sure I got just the right person who would be able to make it stay.) I came across Pin It Up Bridal in my search. Renee did my hair and all of my girls. Each time she would finish a bridesmaid's hair I was more and more impressed. Renee does fabulous work and she's super sweet too! Everyone looked amazing and she was very understanding when I wanted a different hairstyle for my wedding than I did in my trial. Thank you Renee!!

My husband and I got married in March 2019 in the Monmouth County (NJ) area. We booked our venue in March 2018 and, by that June; all of the vendors were booked! As Type-A as my personality may be, we really put faith into the professionals that we were hiring. Wedding hair and make-up is a pretty big deal and I was looking for the best! I booked my hair and make-up trial in June 2018 – I walked in, got dolled-up and immediately put down a deposit because I knew I needed Kristen and Ashley’s services on my wedding day! All of the details were worked out over email; and Kristen was always available to respond to all of my questions and concerns. Before the wedding, there were 9 of us getting ready including myself, six (6) bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and mother of the groom! Kristen and Ashley and two more artists, Natalia & Kelly, arrived as scheduled and got to work - turning the bridal suite into a make-shift beauty salon! We even borrowed stools from the bar downstairs! When the last bit of hair spray was applied and the final eyelashes glued, everyone looked absolutely beautiful; and we still did at 11:00 PM when the reception ended - concluding 12+ hours of wedding festivities! The ladies did a fabulous job and I would recommend their services over and over again!

Christine was absolutely amazing! She did 7 girls for Makeup for the wedding. From the second she walked in she started and did everyone’s makeup on time. All my bridesmaids including my mother looked so beautiful. My makeup stayed on until the next day. It was flawlessly done I didn’t even want to remove it. I am so thankful that I found such an amazing makeup artist for my wedding day don’t even think twice and book Christine for makeup she will not disappoint!

Kaitlyn and Christine were the perfect team on my wedding day - they made myself, my three bridesmaids, and our moms look so beautiful!! They were both extremely down-to-earth, easy to talk to and organized while juggling the seven of us getting ready. I would recommend them to anyone and can't thank them enough for being apart of the best day of my life!

I have truly never felt more beautiful than I did the day of my wedding and that is owed to Pin It Up Bridal. Ashley was my hair stylist and Kristen was my make-up artist. Both women made my wedding day more special. They traveled to my hotel in Staten Island bright and early and also scheduled a trial months before the wedding. They were helpful in telling me what would work best for me, for my girls, but also allowed me to have exactly what I wanted even if I didn't exactly know what that was. Being a curly haired curl, I was scared my hair wouldn't last and would get frizzy, but by the end of the night after everyone touching it, it still looked beautiful! My girls and myself all looked perfect! Everyone's hair stayed great and all make-up looked beautiful and natural the whole night. I am so beyond happy I used Pin it Up on the happiest day of my life!

Pin It Up was recommended to me by a friend who used them for her wedding. I booked hair and make up services via email with Kristen for myself (bride), 6 bridesmaids, 1 mother of the bride, and 2 flower girls. Being that there were so many of us, I decided to add a second hair artist just a few weeks before the wedding and Kristen was able to fulfill my request quickly. Prior to the wedding, I had a trial with Ashley (hair artist - super, super talented) and Shannon (makeup - knows exactly what to do according to your skin tone, facial features, etc.) which I highly recommend doing!! The trial gave me a pretty good sense of how I would look like on the day of my wedding.
The day of the wedding, Ashley, Shannon & Gina arrived to my house on time and got to work right away. Each and every one of my bridesmaids looked absolutely amazing, their hair and make up were done perfectly and unique to each one. Hair and make up was truly one of my favorite things about the wedding, I was beyond pleased with how beautiful everyone looked. My thoughts and feelings were further validated when I met my husband at the end of the aisle and the first thing he said was "You look AWESOME".
THANK YOU Ashley M, Shannon & Gina!!

We were extremely happy with both Renee and Erica doing hair/makeup for my sisters wedding with 5 total getting both hair and makeup. They were very professional, great personalities and overall really nice and excellent at their job which seemed more like their passions.
Every single one of us looked great thanks to them! Highly recommend them both! Thanks again!

Pin It Up were great partners. The entire team was kind and courteous. The stylists were flexible and patient with each member of our party and worked with everyone to ensure that each person walked out with their desired “look”. The team was prompt and stayed on schedule which was key. I would recommend Pin It Up to other brides and bridal parties!

I have gotten my hair done for proms and weddings throughout my life and have absolutely hated it every single time. I swore that one day when I got married I would do my own hair because I was afraid it would come out differently than I was used to or I that would have another bad experience. I walked by the Pin It Up Bridal store front in Belmar one day and decided to message them on The Knot. It was the best decision I have ever made!! From the minute I messaged Kristen, she replied immediately every time and answered all of my questions happily. Setting up my trial and figuring out payment was easy and stress-free. Our hair stylists were Ashley and Kaitlyn, and they were AMAZING!! They were fun, punctual (early actually!), set up and cleaned up in minutes, and most importantly so talented!!! They created every hair style that my bridal party envisioned, but even better! I was absolutely OBSESSED with my hair, and if I ever need to have my hair done again I am not going to anyone else but Ashley. I actually changed my hair style on the wedding day (different than what Ashley did for my trial) because my original hair piece broke, and Ashley happily did it. Thank you for making all of us feel like princesses on our big day. Book Pin It Up Bridal now!! You won't be disappointed. If you are in the area, check out their store front. It's soo cute!

Kristen was a dream to work with to get my hair trial booked. I had my first hair trial and cried after, it just wasn't anything I wanted or envisioned. I'm SO glad I booked a second trial because Renee saved my wedding day! She listened to everything I wanted and was so sweet! She brought Natalia the day of the wedding and they got 11 people's hair done in a matter of 3 hours.

I used Pin It Up Bridal for my bridal party and myself for my wedding day (9/1/18). Renee and Natalia were amazing and I highly recommend them! They didn't hesitate when I said that my wedding was at the Bronx Zoo and would require them to travel to a hotel there. They showed up on time and started getting to work as soon as they were setup. I had a pretty large party for them to do (1 flower girl, my mother, 5 bridesmaids, and myself) and they were done quicker than I ever imagined. My hair was beautiful and came out exactly as it had during my trial, and it held up all night. My makeup was flawless and also stayed that way all night. The same for the rest of the party, everyone loved their hair and makeup!

Pin It Up Bridal saved the bride! I had booked the girls for hair and makeup for my bridal party and just makeup for the bride - as I was using a different hair salon to do my hair. Big mistake! I should have used Pin It Up Bridal for everything! Not only were the girls sweet, on-time, professional but they did amazing work! My hair stylist half curled my hair and left without putting my veil in because she had to get to another appointment. I was almost in tears. The hair stylist at Pin It Up stayed late and helped me fix my hair and veil so it was perfect. I cannot thank them enough for making me a beautiful bride and saving the day!

I was referred to Pin It Up Bridal by a friend and I so happy to picked this team for my wedding. Kristen and Ashley M. did a absolutely wonderful job on my make-up and hair. I also had Renee and Ashley T. to help with the rest of my bridal party. Kristen was extremely responsive and so easy to work with, very much needed during the stressful wedding process! My bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law were all pleased with their looks as well. Also, very timely! No need to be concerned about running late and cutting into photo/video time!

AMAZING! Is one word that describes this amazing group of girls! I was fortunate enough to find them through my sister who got married in 2015 & since that day I KNEW I would use them on my magical day! Kristen ALWAYS went the extra mile every single time I had a question or concern. I mean. The EXTRA Mile, speaking at 9 PM while trying to get her kids ready for bed. Renee did my hair and it came out BETTER than I would have ever expected. ALL 4 girls made my wedding day so unforgettable. The first few hours for a bride are set for the way the rest of the day goes! And because of the girls at Pin it Bridal my morning and my night went PERFECT!!!!!!

AMAZING. Kristen and Renee were incredible. My hair was finished about 2pm, I didnt get back to my hotel until 3:30am and my hair was PERFECT and so was my makeup! Every step was so easy with them. They were extremely accommodating, relaxed and sweet. Everyone in my bridal party looked gorgeous and several people who attended my wedding asked for their information because now they plan to use them for their wedding too! Happy is an understatement. Dont even give it another thought, call Pin it up Bridal and schedule your trial! Thanks Pin it up! Love Caroline and all the girls.

I booked pin it up bridal for hair and make up for my wedding a few weeks ago after being referred by my sister in law who used them for her wedding as well. I had the trial done in Belmar with both Gina and Ashley. Both girls are beyond talented, patient and charismatic. The day of my wedding, both girls showed up early and excited to work which is always so nice to see. They completed hair and make up for five of us in a very quick window of time. They were nothing short of professional and their work was absolutely beautiful. Do not go anywhere else, they are fantastic.

Kristen and Ashley are angels sent from bridal heaven. They worked their magic and made my girls and I look like princesses on my wedding day. Kristen made sure our makeup was flawless. We looked perfect even after pictures in 70 degree weather and dancing for HOURS. Ashley made my braid dreams come true. I always dreamt of having a princess Elsa braid for my wedding and she exceeded my expectations. The creativity and patience she had with creating a beautiful braid made me feel so calm and confident. My girls and I were total bride squad goals and we owe it all to Kristen and Ashley!

I'm sitting in the airport with my new husband and I just had to write a review Kristen and her team at Pin It Up Bridal. They worked quickly and efficiently. Kristen was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Everyone looked stunning! And the make-up lasted well into the after-hours party. I can't thank them enough. Highly recommend this vendor!! Book now! Do it.

Kristen (makeup) and Ashley (hair) made my bridesmaids and I look and feel beautiful! We showed Ashley a picture of a hair style and she replicated that hairstyle perfectly! My makeup lasted all night and still looked flawless when I was taking it off! Would recommend them to all of my friends getting married!
