the look I wanted (soft glam) and carried it out perfectly! I couldn't have been happier with the results! As I had no family with me on the day it was so nice to have a hype girl making me feel so special on the morning of my wedding!! I couldn't recommend her enough - makeup and hair was not only gorgeous but stayed in place for the whole day! Thanks again for everything x x
Shirley is fantastic! She is willing to accommodate to your schedule and place settings no matter how crazy. She is very professional and quick to follow the client’s suggestions. ...
I loved the fact that she was super sweet with my group and took the time to make us all look like stars, specially the bride! Amazing job.
The makeup did not feet heavy, it highlighted the best features of the face. The hair was perfect. It lasted the whole time perfect.
I would totally recommend. I will be contacting her for any future engagements.
Thank you so much.

Great experience and everyone looked beautiful!
Shirley was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I found Shirley when I first moved to Hoboken a little over a year ago. I needed a haircut, and after readin...
g reviews, following her on Instagram, and having a first-hand experience of a great haircut (which may sound lame, but I have super fine and thinning hair, so someone making feel pretty with a haircut means a lot to me), I decided to book her for hair and makeup for my wedding. Shirley is so sweet and so patient. I often get nervous being vocal with professional about things I do and don’t like, but Shirley made me feel so, so comfortable.
We did trial hair and make up a few months before the wedding. For my trial, I went with a low bun. We started with a bigger bun, but just to try it out, Shirley took the whole thing out and redid it with a smaller bun. This gave me so much confidence that if she could do a whole up-do, take it down, and redo a completely different look in the hour-long trial, she could do anything on the actual wedding day.
Fast forward to the big day and I’ve decided I want to do a high bun (rather than a low bun like we did for the trial). Shirley made it happen, no questions asked. I didn’t love it at first, but we made some tweaks and overall it looked stunning. My bridal make-up was also absolutely gorgeous (not to sound braggy, but people are still complementing how beautiful I looked months later, which really feels good), and my bridesmaids couldn’t have been happier with their looks.
Shirley checks ALL the important boxes and some. She’s on time; you can text with her which is very convenient; she put together a schedule for the day based on the complexity of the hairdo’s my bridal party wanted; she’s super quick; reasonable pricing (especially for NJ!); and most importantly, she is phenomenal at her job. I could go on and on. Shirley is amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone for wedding hair, everyday haircut, makeup – you name it!
I found Shirley through a family member who worked with her for her wedding. Shirley is so talented! I was lucky enough to work with her in doing hair for my wedding too. She has a...
calming presence and is punctual, which helped made my wedding day stress-free! There was a total of 9 women in my bridal party, including myself who needed to get their hair done. This was originally a job for two hairstylists, but the second was unable to come due to sickness. But talented as she is, Shirley managed to style our hair on her own without a sweat! I chose a specific hairstyle for each bridesmaid, and she was able to make each one a reality. I especially loved my updo, she made me look like my best self. If you have a vision for a specific hairstyle for you and your bridesmaids, Shirley is the one who can make it happen. Thank you again Shirley for all your help!
Shirley was incredible. She initially stood out to me because of her responsiveness and how easy it was to communicate back and forth with her to book hair for my wedding day. She ...
also had such a calm and collected way of working that it made me feel the same with no stress at all, and that's big for a bride! She worked efficiently and me, my mom, and my sister were all beyond happy with how our hair turned out. I recommend Shirley for any occasion!
She is great. Very professional, talented and takes her time. She did my highlights and I love it. She also does great styling make up and blow outs.

ture haircuts. I was pleasantly surprised to find out she offered bridal services. After my trial with her, I knew she would be the perfect fit. She was so patient with my mom and I as we tried to decide on the exact look I wanted on my big day.
Prior to my big day, I communicated with Shirley via email and she was very responsive. She provided me with an estimated amount of time she would need to get everyone ready which helped a lot in organizing my timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, Shirley was on time and ready to get to work! Unfortunately, her assistant was not available as she was sick so for a second I did worry this would throw off my timeline. But, nope! Shirley worked non-stop from the time she arrived getting my hair and makeup done along with that of 4 bridesmaids. She did take some breaks to laugh with us as we watched "Love is blind" haha. She worked well with all our different hair types and skin tones (we were a diverse group of bridesmaids). And in the end we were all happy with the results!
I found Shirley on the knot and couldn't be happier to have had her be a part of my wedding morning! I was very worried about my hair and confused and Shirley let me do multiple t...
rials and worked with me until I figured it out! I was very satisfied with the finished product, as were all the girls in my bridal party! I recommend Shirley for any hair wedding needs!

everything work. From the trial until the week of the wedding, I would text her with random questions and she would always answer. Her communication is very good. The day of the wedding, she was on time. Nothing ever felt rushed as she did my mom's, 3 bridesmaids, and my hair and makeup, and hair for my 3 flower girls from 6am to about 1pm. Her assistant was a big help to her. I was very happy with how everyone came out. My makeup stayed put until the very end of the night. My curls did not fall. Shirley did such a great job and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area.

re efficient and attentive to the various needs of my diverse bridal party and everyone looked gorgeous! As for the bride, I felt like a million bucks! My husband couldn't stop telling me how much he loved the way my hair looked! Also, the makeup was exactly what I wanted and stayed on all night. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend using Shirley for your wedding or any other special event!

y of her work ethic and passion for her job. We all worked off pictures for hair and makeup and she was able to recreate the looks perfectly. She took into account our different looks and tones ensuring what we wanted suited us best. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.
When we started our search for a make up artist and hair stylist for our wedding. We were a little skeptical, due to past experiences with getting my make up done and hair we just ...
weren't sure we would find someone that shared in our vision. We had a coastal theme, it was very beach oriented and wanted a natural look with a little bit of glam. We were very happy when Shirley was so highly recommended. She surpassed our expectations. From communication, to setting up the contract, the Bridal Trial, and then they day of working on the Bridal Party. It was all amazing, she is quick and talented. The make up was gorgeous, it was natural looking, and complimentary. The application was smooth, I didn't worry about a thing, she is very sensitive to what you want and are envisioning. The hair styling was perfect, all I had to do was show her a picture and she got it right on. If it hadn't been for Shirley I don't believe I would have gotten the look that I wanted. My now husband had concerns and when he looked at my for the first time on our wedding day, he said this is you. Shirley is most definitely multi - talented and if you are looking for a true artist for your special day regardless of the occasion, no doubt that Shirley will make you look absolutely fabulous.

I really reccommend booking with Shirley for your big day As she can definitely make everyone feel beautiful.

Her hair skills are just as amazing. She's my go to person for anything hair. I am highly appreciative for her skills and attention to detail.
If I could summarize Shirley’s work it would be this: amazing. Shirley makes you look your best and brings out your best features, just a better version of yourself. I love makeup ...
that looks natural , not too made up or too heavy looking. Shirley is able to do that and much more.
She specializes in wedding makeup and I had her do my bridesmaid makeup for a recent wedding in July. It looked sooooo good! I highly recommend Shirley for all your wedding and special occasion needs. She is a perfectionist and really proud of the work she does and it shows every time I sit in her chair. You’re awesome, Shirley!!
Shirley and her team were great!
First of all she was having a promotion where my trial was free if I liked what I saw and booked with her. The trial was fun and she was very ope...
n to the look and feel I wanted. She also took my very dry skin type into account.
On the day of the wedding we had I think around 13 people getting hair and make up done. Her team was very punctual and we all got done in time for pre-ceremony photos! I loved my hair and makeup. I just got the photos back and everyone looked so beautiful. My cheekbones have never been more defined. Foundation color was accurate (I'm always worried my face will be made too light, but this was not the case) and the eyelash extensions were included!
Bonus: Shirley also helped my party take some boomerang photos and sent them to us.
I can't recommend Shirley enough! She's so talented with both hair and makeup, and also is very professional, timely, and has nice calming presence. She listened to my ideas and I ...
looked better than I could've imagined. The rest of my bridal party looked stunning too!
What a blessing it was to find Shirley to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Before finding Shirley, I was ready to do my own makeup because trial after trial was a disappo...
intment. No one could give me the natural look I was seeking. I wanted to look like myself that day freckles and all, not tons of makeup that just wasn't me. I setup a trial with Shirley and I was thrilled with her work. She was extremely professional and gave me exactly was I was searching for. My wedding day was perfect and I received so many compliments. Thank you so much Shirley, you rock!!

and makeup they’ve had done yet. She tweaked my makeup perfectly after a few adjustments I wanted to make since my trial and nailed it. I was trying really hard to find a makeup artist that could accommodate lots of different skin tones and I’m glad I chose Shirley after doing some research and seeing her Instagram. Loved my hair & makeup so much I think I’ll go back to for her if I have an event or wedding to attend. Prices were also very reasonable.
I cannot even express in words how amazing Shirley and her friends were! They made myself and everyone in my bridal party look absolutely stunning! We had 12 people getting hair/ma...
ke up done and she did it without any stress (or at least made sure I didn’t know!). Shirley was prompt and we got down to business at 6:30 am! She made everything relaxing and we all had a blast! She is seriously the best and pricing is fantastic! I already have people asking for her information. You cannot go wrong with Shirley! Once again she truly is the best at what she does and made everything perfect for my big day!! Thank you so much!!!

time and ready to work. I showed her photos of what I liked and she made sure I looked exactly how I wanted - dramatic, fancy hair but not a ton of makeup. My style and makeup lasted perfectly through a hot day and hours on the dance floor, right until I washed it out at 3AM!
Also, she worked quickly and efficiently so I didn't have to spend hours in a chair. My maids looked gorgeous too and were all very pleased with their look. I even got my mum to have her hair and makeup done; she is tough to please but she loved it as well! Can't recommend Shirley and her team enough!
