Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino

The talent of the amazing women on this team is unbelievable! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Laura and Nicole made my wedding morning calm, relaxed and beautiful. When I went for my wedding hair and makeup trial, I left knowing that I had made the right decision booking them. Everything was absolutely perfect. They listened to all of my thoughts and ideas and made me feel so beautiful. I was nervous for bridal makeup because I don’t like wearing a lot of foundation or eye makeup, and when I looked in the mirror after Laura finished my makeup, I was speechless. The talent and skill of making women look like an elevated version of themselves is amazing. Don’t hesitate to book with this company, they are professional, kind, and your hair and makeup will be even more perfect than you could have imagined. Thank you Laura and Nicole!

Simply Gorgeous by Erin is the best! Kasia and Melissa were so professional, kind, and hilarious. The getting ready process was smooth and stress-free because they checked in with us to see how we were liking things and to make sure we were comfortable. Not to mention that the looks they did for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom were truly stunning! Kasia absolutely nailed the “glowy and romantic” look that we were all going for, and Melissa worked her magic despite 90% humidity! Our hair and makeup didn’t budge even after hours of dancing—it all stayed put until the end of the night. I have no idea how they did it, but our photographs looked amazing!!

I used Simply Gorgeous by Erin for my wedding and they were incredible - we had two hairstylists and two makeup artists in a hotel suite at the Inn at Middletown, and they were great sports about making the space work. Everyone looked incredible and they were so great about working with my mom to make her feel comfortable with her hair & makeup (she was stressing big time about what to do). My bridesmaids and I were chatting and hanging out all day, and the ladies from Simply Gorgeous made us feel so great and we’re just so fun to be around. I urge all brides to strongly consider extensions because they made me look amazing and I have no idea what witchcraft the gals at Simple Gorgeous did to make me (and literally everyone else they worked with) look so stunning. My mom was GLOWING. Highly recommend!!!

The hair and makeup artists from Simply Gorgeous were absolutely amazing! They made myself and all of my bridesmaids feel so naturally stunning. They created unique looks while also listening to everyones thoughts/concerns/opinions/etc. Everyone was beyond thrilled with their final looks and we all got so many compliments all night long! Couldn't recommend them more!

I was so grateful to have the Simply Gorgeous team onsite to do our hair and makeup for our April wedding at the Inn at Longshore. Laura did an amazing job for my trial. She listened to my feedback on my makeup and we adjusted for a perfect look on my wedding day. Laura, Iris & Kelly were top notch professionals who listened to all the bridesmaids and our moms to make sure they were comfortable with their look. Laura was so flexible with my mom who brought her own makeup and had very specific ideas for her look! It was a completely relaxing morning and my hair/makeup stayed intact all night long. Thank you Simply Gorgeous team!

Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino was probably the easiest choice of vendor I made for our wedding. Erin and her team are the best! I went to Erin for microblading and brow shading services just over a year ago, and I was so impressed by how wonderfully my brows came out! I had never done anything like microblading before, and as someone with very faint natural brows, waking up every day to perfectly styled brows every morning was such a confidence boost. Erin made me feel so comfortable every step of the way. I also used Erin and some of her stylists for my HMUA on my wedding day! We had two hair stylists and two makeup artists working on the mothers of the bride and groom, seven members of the bridal party, and me (the bride), and it only took a few hours. My goal was to make all of the women in my life feel special and pampered, and they all looked incredible and still felt comfortable and like themselves. One of my bridesmaids even remarked that another wedding she had been in recently had had a celebrity makeup artist, and they did not even come close to the work that Erin and her team did for my wedding. The makeup and hair lasted the whole day, even in the summer!! I cannot thank them enough for all the work that they've done. 100% would recommend.

My entire bridal party and I had such an amazing experience working with Simply Gorgeous By Erin! They came highly recommended by my wedding photographer and they did not disappoint! I had a large bridal party with 13 bridesmaids and was initially worried that we would not all be able to be ready in time on the morning of the wedding. However, the Simply Gorgeous By Erin team was able to accommodate my large bridal party without any issue and met the hair desires of all of my bridesmaids. Melissa was the one who did my personal hair for my wedding and she was incredible. She made my vision of a slick, classic bun a reality and I am so thankful for her expertise and talents!

The Simply Gorgeous by Erin team is incredible! My whole wedding party couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved their hair and makeup. We all had so much fun with them getting ready too! Definitely recommend!

Working with Simply Gorgeous was a breeze from day one! Alisa answered every one of my questions and helped out immensely when trying to organize the wedding day timeline. During my trial, and on the big day, everyone was super helpful, kind, and fun to be around. Laura and Kasia made every one of my gals feel comfortable and glammed them up perfectly, despite us not regularly being big makeup people. Finally, major props to Laura, especially, for helping me avoid a minor meltdown the morning of and somehow doing my hair perfectly while I was hunched over writing out my vows last minute. Highly, highly recommend!

Alisa and Kelly were the best hair and makeup duo I could've asked for. At my trial, they helped with tips and tricks to get myself wedding ready, and checked in with me leading up to the day to see if they could provide any more help. The day of, they helped maintain a calm and relaxing presence during getting ready time. I've been in several weddings, and never has every single bridesmaid and the moms ALL been so happy with both their hair and makeup. We all learned some tricks from Alisa about skincare and makeup, and I'll definitely continue to go back to her for advice! Kelly and I made a gametime decision to include pearls in my bun, and it worked out beautifully. They are a great team who made my look very natural, effortless, and glowly, and I couldn't have asked for anything better! xo

Iris and Nicole, as well as their team, we’re so amazing to work with. They were so patient and sweet to me and my bridesmaids. They listened to what everyone wanted and perfectly executed. The entire process of working with Simply Gorgeous was awesome!

LOVED THEM!! I was not close to the area and opted not to do a makeup trial ahead of time. It didn't matter because Iris was so talented, was able to look at my picture inspiration, and created my dream bridal look. She was professional, sweet, and just felt like another one of the girls gettin ready with us!

I cannot say enough things about the team from my wedding day. Charlie (hair) and Iris (makeup) made me feel more beautiful than I ever have in my entire life. They were super punctual, and super efficient. I don't typically wear much makeup, so I was nervous about looking entirely different than I usually do. Through a combination of Iris' magic, and airbrush makeup, I looked natural and felt gorgeous. I have thin hair and was unsure of the kinds of styles available to me. At our trial, Charlie put in my clip-in extensions for the first time (perfectly color matched and purchased through Simply Gorgeous) and put me at ease. She put together the up-do of my dreams. My makeup and hair were intact all night long, through the sweat and the happy tears and the humidity. Not only were they awesome at their craft, but also were the sweetest, most fun team to work with. We laughed all morning, and felt as though we were in such great hands. The moms and my bridesmaids looked and felt incredible, thanks to these insanely talented artists. You can feel totally confident in Simply Gorgeous that you're working with professionals who take their role in your wedding day very seriously.

The entire team was just amazing. They came in, set up, and blew through my 10 person bridal party like it was nothing. Everyone looked SO beautiful! A lot of my girls usually don’t wear makeup, and nothing looked overdone — just perfect. My niece and one of my bridesmaids have super, super curly hair and they made sure it stayed perfect, even touching it up again before they left. They were so sweet with my nieces who were a bit shy but wanted their hair done as well. Kelly did my trial and hair, and when I decided last minute to change my style she didn’t even blink. My hair and hairpiece stayed all night. Couldn’t be more happy with them!

I wish I had the right words to thank the Simply Gorgeous team for their amazing hair and makeup they did for my wedding! I can't say enough good things about talented they are; and also just amazing women to spend time with. I worked with Laura a few times for my engagement shoot & trial, and it feels like we are good friends catching up every time I see her. She knew exactly how I wanted to look (natural, but elevated) and I couldn't have dreamed of looking any prettier than I did on my wedding day! Luisa did an amazing job on my hair as well; it all came together so perfectly. Do yourself a favor and book these ladies for your wedding party; you will NOT regret it!!

Simply Gorgeous by Erin was the best pick for my hair and makeup crew! Kasia, Kelly and the entire crew did an amazing job listening to me and my bridesmaids to create the perfect look for each of us. We all felt beautiful and the crew was so personable and made the experience fun and light. It doesn't matter what look you are going for on your big day, Erin and her crew will make you feel beautiful!

What appealed to me the most about Simply Gorgeous was the very first thing Erin said to me - that their goal is to make every bride feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves! I honestly cannot say enough about how true this statement was as this was exactly how I felt on my wedding day. I felt so beautiful, but still looked “like me”! Iris and Ashleyy were so attentive in asking me many questions to understand exactly what look I wanted and what I liked or disliked about different looks and it made me feel so comfortable and relaxed from day 1. All my girls had so much fun getting ready! Would highly recommend any bride to choose Simply Gorgeous to be part of their special day!

I am so happy that I was able to book Erin's team for our wedding. I truly enjoyed working with Melissa, Iris & their team of amazing ladies to give my bridesmaids the most gorgeous hair and makeup. Everyone commented on how glowing, natural and absolutely fantastic our whole group looked! I especially appreciated that the team was already set up and prepared by the time we arrived - we immediately jumped right in and kept us all on schedule! I would 100% recommend booking Simply Gorgeous by Erin for your wedding, especially if you want make up and hair that last all night.

I used Simply Gorgeous by Erin for my wedding hair and makeup and I was absolutely obsessed with my look!! My bridesmaids and mom also loved their looks. After doing the trial, I decided I wanted to change some things and they listened to exactly what I wanted. Melissa and Daisy were so nice and so easy to work with. Now I need to think of an excuse to get my hair and makeup done like that again! I got soo many compliments and my hair and makeup seriously lasted all night- and I was dancing for hours (and sweating)! I would highly recommend using Simply Gorgeous for your wedding!!!

I booked with Simply Gorgeous by Erin back in 2020 Pre Covid. My husband and I postponed our wedding and they were so understanding and made the process to switch our date so easy. Simply Gorgeous by Erin had great communication with me all the way up until the day of my wedding. Day of, the team was not only on time but finished my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, and grandmother, a total of 14 people with ample time for touch ups. A few of my bridesmaids, who have been in many weddings, said they have never seen hair and makeup so organized. Everyone bragged about how beautiful they looked. Kasia and Melissa did my makeup and hair and my God I cannot say enough about their work. I want to get married again just to have another reason for them to do my hair and makeup. Everything stayed perfect all day even as I danced the night away. I cannot recommend Simply Gorgeous by Erin enough. The team is not only sweet but their work will make you feel beautiful all day.

Melissa, Kasia, Alisa, and Klaudia were absolutely amazing the day of my wedding! I decided to do a slightly different hairstyle from my trial, and Melissa rocked it on my wedding day! She listened to exactly how I wanted my hair to look, and I couldn’t have pictured it any better. I had the most compliments on both my hair and natural, glowing makeup. All the stylists were energetic and fun, yet very professional the entire morning and afternoon. I initially went with SGBE because of the very soft, natural looking hair and makeup styles, and they both exceeded my expectations. Most women get too much hair and makeup done that they don’t look like themselves the day of their wedding, and I wanted the complete opposite. My natural beauty was highlighted--I didn’t have makeup caked on my face and my hair wasn’t hard or sticky with too much hairspray. My bridesmaids and mother also looked STUNNING! Thank you, ladies, so much for beautifying us on such a special day!!

The team at Simply Gorgeous was amazing from start to finish! I had to move back my wedding due to COVID, and they were good communicators and understanding during that stressful process. I had Kelly and Laura as my team and they were great listeners, understood my inspiration as well as my bridesmaids and family members, and overall were kind, considerate, and fun to have as support during the big day! I would hire them again in a second. An easy decision to hire them and one I made with zero regrets!! They nailed everything we asked of them.

When looking to book our hair and makeup team, I thought back to all the weddings I was in as a bridesmaid and what glam squad made me feel my best.. and that was Simply Gorgeous By Erin! Luckily our date was available and from initial consult with Erin (who is a bad ass boss lady with the kindest most empowering soul) to getting an epic trial with Kasia and Kelly - I knew me and my gals would be in great hands! The day-of team made us all feel so comfortable and confident. We all wanted to go a little more natural and they NAILED it, pulling out our best selves!! Cannot recommend SGBE enough for all those babes looking to feel good inside and out!

I had an amazing experience with Simply Gorgeous. Everyone was professional and kind. Kasia (makeup) and Nicole (hair) were fun, professional, punctual and did an incredible job for my bridesmaids, my mom and me. As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup, I really wanted to make sure I still looked like “me” on my day and Kasia and Nicole made it happen. The results were 10/10. Highly, highly recommend.

Simply Gorgeous by Erin provided hair styling and make up artistry for my wedding on July 16, 2021. To say I was happy with their service, is the understatement of the century. The SGBE team, from start to finish, was exceptional. From the minute I spoke with their bridal consultant, I knew we would be treated like family. Not only were they professional, they were so knowledgeable about hair and make up at weddings, and they were SO MUCH FUN. I also had a large bridal party (11 bridesmaids) and was concerned about time. Not only were they on time, they finished early, which was fantastic! The hair and make up lasted well over 12 hours. I also highly recommend a hair/make up trial in advance of your wedding day because it definitely put me at ease and it is worth every penny. Erin does a fantastic job with her team and I hope more brides have the opportunity to experience this fantastic service. Thank you for making me and girls look and feel incredible, especially Kasia and Kelly!

Melissa and Laura were absolutely wonderful! They did our hair and makeup for five of us over the course of a morning, and we all looked absolutely beautiful! They even did my Mom and my flowergirl! They were so kind and funny, they immediately put everyone at ease, and everyone loved loved loved how they looked! Thank you so much!

I simply can’t recommend the Simply Gorgeous team highly enough! I chose Simply Gorgeous for my wedding, which included hair and makeup on-site for myself and bridal party. Erin and I spoke prior to signing the contract, and she and I were on the same page about feeling your best while looking like yourself. At my trial, the artists put me completely at ease and I was so pleased with their work. The wedding day went off without a hitch; once again the artists were so professional and honestly fun to be around. Everyone looked amazing and photographed beautifully. I would definitely recommend Simply Gorgeous!

I cannot say more great things about the Simply Gorgeous team! They were recommended to me by a family friend who had used them for her daughter's wedding. Alisa & Melissa and their assistants Klaudia & Lauren were all incredible. At my trial Melissa encouraged me to try out a hairstyle I was worried wasn't possible with my hair and boy was I wrong, it was perfect!! On our wedding day the team was on time, friendly, and easy to get along with. I expressed some concerns about my acne marks and Alisa took special care to make sure I had enough coverage and checked multiple times before she left. All my girls and the moms looked gorgeous. Our hair and makeup lasted all night without any issue and we could not stop talking about how gorgeous we all looked thanks to the team. I would book them again in a heartbeat. Erin's contract is quite detailed and specific so definitely read before you sign but I had no issues, I knew exactly what I signed up for and I'm thrilled that I did! Thank you again!!!

I am here to speak truthfully about my experience with most specifically, Erin. I am whole heartedly advising no bride to book with this group. Unfortunately, I was in a very vulnerable position a few months back when I decided to move forward with my wedding during COVID. I should have done my due diligence. I signed a contract with Simply Gorgeous before receiving a trial. When the time finally came, after being rescheduled many times (this is where the lack of consideration came in), I was displeased with the entire experience. I don't want to bash the stylist, it just simply wasn't a good fit. I finally spoke to Erin about this, simply asking if I could get another stylist. Forewarning, they only promote certain hair stylists & makeup artists, the girl who did my trial is nowhere to be found on her Instagram, and in general with any service I've ever received I was informed who would be working with me. I mean it is my WEDDING DAY. The second I talked to Erin, I knew what I was in for. Extremely defensive and refused to understand that I was her client, on the most important day of my life. Everything that I said she twisted it into me really just being delusional. I wasn't there to slander, bash or hurt anyone's feelings. I solely wanted a different stylist and to really work with this team. She only offered a second trial, with the same hair stylist while she watched. I mean what? As women we know what works and what doesn't. Not to mention that would have been awkward and I didn't want that vibe on my wedding day especially. The conversation got so bad I had to cancel. Now, this is where the true colors really shined bright. She sent me a NDA where I had to sign stating I wouldn't dispute any charges, or discuss her business in any way. I reached out once more trying to reach an understanding and was met with, again, blame on me, absolutely no refund for services not even rendered, that I still owed her and some legal talk. It really truly blows my mind how anyone can pride themselves in making women feel amazing on their wedding day but treat someone with such disrespect. I only wanted to work with someone else, I never even brought up a refund until I felt severely taken advantage of. This woman is out for money and that is it. Please be hesitant, request a trial beforehand, if she will even grant it. I was left ONE WEEK before my wedding with no hair or makeup artists for my bridesmaids, and had to spend thousands more to book new ones.

Erin's team is EXPERT level for delivering full service wedding hair & makeup - my bridal party of five, mother and mother-in-law and I were so, so happy with our looks for my wedding day. Erin worked with us and the venue (Farmington Gardens) to create a safe space for us and the SGBE team. Our wedding was the week of a MAJOR storm that swept across Connecticut and even when the power completely cut out for an hour while we were getting ready (residual complications from the storm - it was sunny and 75 while we were getting ready!) SGBE found ways to style our hair using no hot tools - and our looks were flawless. You can tell how much Erin and her team care about their brides and their flexibility during COVID was respectful and reasonable. Small businesses were put in a VERY difficult position during this time, but Erin made sure that I always knew what was going on and provided a really seamless postponement. I think this type of experience speaks volumes about their capabilities outside of a pandemic as well! Highly recommend SGBE if you are looking for a full-service, on-site team to create your exact wedding beauty vision.

Erin's team was highly accommodating when on the day of the wedding I miscalculated how many bridesmaids were getting their makeup done. Sometimes communication wasn't as easy as I would have hoped and they were not very lenient considering there was a pandemic. I loved how I looked and they really do a fantastic job, they are worth the price I just wish their policies were so strict

The makeup artist I had for my wedding this past weekend, Alyssa, was INCREDIBLE. Ive always struggled with pretty sensitive skin and during my trial, she helped me come up with a skin care routine to help make my skin as flawless and hydrated as possible. She not only did a phenomenal job with my makeup on the day of my wedding (which lasted ALL night), but she helped ensure I’ll have nice skin from this day forward. She was such a pleasure to work with and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. My husband’s two nieces (ages 3 and 5) were our flower girls and the younger one got a little fussy and she wanted to be included with all the “big girls” getting their makeup done and Alyssa didn’t hesitate to get her up in the chair to put a little powder on her cheeks to make her feel included. She’s such a sweetheart and everyone loved her. My ONLY reservation is about the business itself (hence the 4/5 stars). I want to be clear that this comment has absolutely nothing to do with Alyssa... because she’s incredible. But, the week of my wedding, my final payment was due and I called every day for four days trying to make my payment. I left a message every day and never heard back. I even sent an E-mail and a Facebook message. Johanna at the front desk can be a challenge to get in touch with and this gave me a little unnecessary stress the week of the wedding because I couldn’t get in contact with anyone. She finally answered two days before and everything was just fine but she never acknowledged or apologized for being so difficult to get in contact with or for not returning any of my calls. Besides that, everything went smoothly. Overall, I would absolutely go through Simply Gorgeous by Erin again and I would definitely recommended them to any other brides out there looking to feel like a princess on your big day!

We had a wonderful experience working with the staff at Simply Gorgeous! I, my mother and mother-in-law, and bridesmaids all had our hair and makeup done, and everyone was so thrilled with how they looked. I have to especially recommend Sarah who did my hair; I did two hair trials with her, and she really listened to what I liked and didn't like. My mother also, for the first time probably ever, LOVED the way her hair turned out!! We definitely highly recommend Simply Gorgeous to other brides :)

I hired Simply Gorgeous by Erin based on looking on their portfolio online. My wedding party and I are Asians, and during my initial search I found it difficult to find local artists that could work well with our facial features. After seeing their works, I had a gut feeling that I had found the team that would help me on my wedding day. I immediately hired them more than a year before my wedding. The booking process was smooth and they were very responsive to every call and email I had. They were very transparent with the prices. The hair and makeup trial are a must have! I had Laura, Nicole and 2 assistant hair and make-up artists. These ladies are the best! Our start time was at 5am as my wedding ceremony starts at 10am. My wedding party includes 13 people who needs makeup and 10 people who needs hair done. They were on time and ready to go. We actually finished earlier than the scheduled end time but we never felt rushed. My wedding party and I were very satisfied and loved the way we looked. I highly recommend this team. You would never regret for sure! Special thanks to Laura and Nicole for making me pretty on my special day! I don't usually dress up that much and when I told them that I just want a natural but improved version of myself, that's what they did!

The hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids turned out awesome on the day of my wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful! The only negatives were how difficult it was to get in touch with Johanna. I'm in meetings all day so calling is not an easy option but emails go unanswered and would need to send follow ups. Another negative was that three of my bridesmaids did not get airbrush makeup. They assured me all the makeup they do is airbrush but come to find out later my bridesmaids told me the assistant makeup artist did not offer it to them. The makeup still turned out beautiful but it's a bummer when you think you're paying for all airbrush. On a more positive note, Rachel and Melissa were so awesome and made me feel so beautiful! I'd definitely recommend Simply Gorgeous by Erin, just make sure to clarify the day of you want airbrush for everyone :)

I am so happy I went to Simply Gorgeous by Erin for my wedding hair and makeup. My bridesmaids & I got exactly what we asked for and we had so much fun with the girls day of the wedding! I loved how they used airbrush makeup, it truly helped make it last all night long! It was also so nice having a hair and make up trial with the girls who would be doing it day of. Working with the SGE team couldn’t have been easier and I would recommend them to anyone!

I am not a girl who wears a lot of makeup, so going into my wedding, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. Talking to the girls at the salon, they perfectly captured me in both my hair and makeup. My entire bridal party looked gorgeous as well and felt amazing on the day of the wedding!

I am so glad that I picked Simply Gorgeous by Erin for my makeup and hair for my wedding day! I have never felt so beautiful thanks to Melissa (hair) and Alisa (makeup)! Erin runs a smooth business—from the initial phone interview, to payments, to my trail, and my wedding day—everything was seamless (which is perfect for a bride that tends to worry about everything!). Alisa and Melissa were so easy-going and friendly, and helped make the whole “getting ready” process really enjoyable. I wanted a natural look, but still a little glam since it was my wedding day, and Alisa executed my makeup perfectly! Melissa did an absolutely amazing job with my hair—it was so elegant and came out even more beautiful than I imagined. All of my bridesmaids and my mother loved their looks as well! Everyone’s hair & makeup lasted all night despite it being humid and 90+ degrees! I cannot thank Erin and her team enough! I will definitely be using Simply Gorgeous again, and would highly recommend them for ANY special event!

I contacted Simply Gorgeous by Erin to get some more information for my wedding makeup. I filled out the questionnaire and scheduled a phone meeting with Johanna. Twenty minutes after the phone meeting was supposed to begin I still hadn't heard anything so I reached out. Without even mentioning being twenty minutes past the scheduled call time, the woman on the phone informed me they could not split up hair and makeup and the conversation was over. I completely understand not being able to split the two up, but I wish I knew that before my time was wasted and the phone call was scheduled.

I have no words for the talent of Erin’s and her whole team at Simply Gorgeous. Her team did the hair and makeup for my July wedding. For starters, my bridal party was large and I had my mother, step mother, and mother in law in addition to this. Some of my party members had never had their makeup done before, including my mother. I watched each one enter the chair and leave expressing the most excited remarks. “This is ME!?”, “I look like this!?”, “Can you come to my house and make me look like this everyday?” Everyone’s camera rolls were flooded with pictures from every angle of their hair and makeup. I mean it when I say every woman in that room felt more beautiful than ever. As a bride, I was speechless. They are the reason I felt as confident as I did walking down that aisle. My hair and makeup looked just as good at the last dance as it did from the first minute on a very hot 90 degree July day. Thank you team. My girls and I are eternally grateful. We couldn’t recommend you more! ❤️

The makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding were absolutely wonderful. Alisa and Melissa are extremely talented and were professional, fun, and attentive before and at our wedding day. I also had a makeup lesson and an eyelash lift/tint at Simply Gorgeous that were done very well. This review should not reflect poorly on them, but the business. I booked with Simply Gorgeous in April 2018 for a wedding in June 2019. At the time of my booking, I spoke with Erin and informed her that I was booking with them because my normal hair stylist does wedding hair with them and I wanted her to do my wedding hair. At that time, I also discussed that I had not selected my bridesmaids and was not entirely certain who would want to get hair and makeup done. Erin recommended I book for 5 people, plus me, as that would reserve two staff for each service in the event we needed two. She did not mention that I could not change this number later on. In January 2019, the office assistant reached out to obtain my second round of payment. I updated her on the number of people receiving services and was very surprised to hear that I was not allowed to change the number. I asked to speak with Erin, as I had my initial discussion with her. I told her that I "felt lead astray" by the recommendation to book for 5 plus me on our earlier call and she yelled at me stating that she was "not going to get into an accusatory discourse" with me. I expressed disappointment in her not providing the full details with me, particularly considering I was forthcoming about not knowing how many people I was having. I also expressed concern over her claims that she wants to make brides feels special/empowered on their wedding day, but was now requiring I alter my wedding day vision (I ultimately decided on a small wedding party so it would be more relaxed). Ultimately, she allowed me to apply the excess funds to other services in the salon, but she did not apologize or express any remorse for my negative experience (she said "other people dont say these things about us"). In addition to this mishap, I learned immediately before my trial that my hair stylist was not booked to do my wedding hair. I reached out again and was told by Erin that my stylist was already booked for another wedding and had done the trial and that it would affect the other brides wedding day to change it (as if it doesnt affect my day). Erin said she didnt know how that happened because she recalled my requesting the specific stylist, but again, no apology. My final frustration with SGBE was the payment system. Invoices are sent electronically but cannot be paid electronically (even though it says they can be). I called in repeatedly to provide payment information and was never called back. They then charged the card they had on file (which was not the card I wanted to use) without telling me they did so (I got a receipt via email). The office manager claimed to have called and left messages which I never got (I did receive calls/texts/emails from my stylists). SGBE was the only wedding vendor I had ANY issues with and truthfully was the primary cause of wedding planning stress for me. They have many reviews on Yelp indicating similar experiences in the salon-I unfortunately did not see those before booking.

Simply Gorgeous by Erin made me feel and look my absolute best for my wedding day. From the very beginning, starting with a phone call interview all the way to the finishing touches on the day of our wedding, I felt pampered and cared for. The online payment system helped to keep things on track, and the trials are a must do before the wedding, as you can really see what your wedding look will be and make adjustments as needed. I worked with Rachel for my Makeup and Nicole for my hair. Both ladies did an amazing job and had myself and 3 of my other ladies ready right on time and still able to do touch ups afterwards. I can't thank the Simply Gorgeous team enough!

Laura and Melissa did my hair and makeup on my wedding day in August 2018. It was beautiful day mixed with clouds, humidity, a down pour and then sunshine to top it off. Both of them beyond succeeded to me feel beautiful and like a bride. My hair looked untouched by the end of the night (despite the weather and all night dancing) and my makeup felt natural and gave me confidence, even after waking up with a blemish that the morning of the wedding! Melissa worked with me to slightly tweak my original trial updo to have little more volume with the end result better than I imagined. My friends and family who were both either at the wedding or saw pictures and/or video of my day all raved how "perfect" my hair and makeup both were. My mother and my bridesmaids also looked amazing and I was so happy to also see them glow in celebration with me too. I appreciate both Jessie and Melissa's kindness, organization, and genuine interest to make me feel my best.

I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Erin and her team at Simply Gorgeous! Hiring a glam squad is one of the most important decisions you will make for the big day and I promise you are in the best hands with Simply Gorgeous By Erin. Just bring a reference and let the team work their magic! What I loved most...their team emphasized our true beauty without making anyone feel 'too made up.' 5 stars for myself, mother and bridesmaids! Thank you!

If you're looking for a beauty team in CT, look no further! The team from Simply Erin was extremely professional, easy to work with and all-around fun! During my trial, I immediately bonded with both Kate (hair stylist) and Shannon (beauty). Erin, the company owner, was there and respectfully offered some tips for prior to the wedding and to compliment my look. On the day of, the team was punctual and easy going. We were done with hair and make-up quickly and the team did an incredible job. My group was varied and had different goals but the team easily impressed us all. 5+ stars!!

Simply Gorgeous by Erin made the hair and makeup process for my wedding completely seamless and so simple! From the initial call with Samantha who answered every tedious question I had, to the day of with Melissa and Jessie- it was honestly one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning. Also, the whole payment process is flawless (not having to deal with cash on the day of is amazing). Where do I even begin with Jessie and Melissa? My bridesmaids and I have gotten our makeup done numerous times for weddings and have never actually loved how we looked.... until Sunday. ALL of my bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law could not stop raving about how much they loved their hair and makeup. Jessie and Melissa listened to exactly what each girl wanted and nailed their looks spot on. I changed my hair slightly from what we did at the trial and also wanted to add some greenery and a flower... Melissa was an actual magician making my hair look absolutely incredible! Jessie also knew how much I wanted to emphasize my eyelashes so she made sure to add a couple extra and really took the time to perfect my look- I really couldn't believe how flawless she made me look. They were on time, very quick and precise with each girl and just so much fun to hangout with that day. Not to mention, they also were such a huge help when my bridesman needed helping tying his bow tie and again when I had a slight dress mishap. I truly wish I had another occasion coming up that I could get my hair and makeup done again- I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!!

I'm so unbelievably happy that I decided to contract with Simply Gorgeous by Erin. I had my trial about a month prior with Melissa for hair and Jessie for makeup, I walked out of there feeling amazing. On the day of my wedding, they both showed up on time, were so personal with me and my bridal party, and did an amazing job. Every girl looked amazing with both hair and makeup. Jessie asked if I could change anything from my trial and I just added blush, I loved the way my makeup looked, very bridal but very simple as I had requested. And for my hair I told Melissa I wanted a little more volume from what my trial was, well she totally surpassed what I was hoping for. My hair came out absolutely amazing, I loved everything about my look. I can't say enough good things about Simply Gorgeous by Erin (and Melissa and Jessie) and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking!

I actually received a recommendation for Simply Gorgeous after inquiring with another makeup company's availability for my wedding day. What a happy accident! Simply Gorgeous did an amazing job. They are professional, on time, and did beautiful makeup. Shannon and Erika were in our hotel room at 6:30am to get me ready for an early first look. We finished the makeup with time to spare! I highly recommend looking into Simply Gorgeous for the big day!

The Simply Gorgeous team is comprised of the most talented, creative, and passionate group of beauty professionals around. I knew that my out of state wedding just wouldn’t be complete without the help of these ladies to style hair and makeup for the my big day. From the moment of my wedding trial, I knew that my bridal hair and makeup would be exactly as I imagined, and I knew that my ladies were in equally good hands. Kelly styled my hair effortlessly on my wedding day, and it held up perfectly - surviving breezy rooftop photos and hours of serious dancing. I was adamant that it be curly but relaxed and not “over done” and she knew exactly what I meant, and how to make it happen! Mattie styled my bridesmaids’ hair and they are still receiving compliments on the looks from the day. Both ladies are amazing!! I’m a firm believe that besides the wedding dress and your hair, there is one other element that can simply make or break your wedding day - your makeup. Jessie is a member of the Simply Gorgeous team whom I’ve had the pleasure to work with for my bridal shower and engagement photos, so it was super exciting that she was available to do my makeup for my wedding day. She is not only a pro when it comes to facial anatomy, but she truly listens to ensure that your final look is one that you can feel beautiful and comfortable in all day long. She did an amazing job, and my wedding photos are gorgeous, thanks to this amazing team! My makeup lasted all night long without any touch ups at all. Shannon assisted Jessie with makeup and did an amazing job on my bridesmaids. They also did an awesome job on my Mom and Mother in law, who wear minimal makeup on a regular basis, but looked absolutely beautiful and loved their wedding looks! To make a long story short - If you want a highly skilled team of ladies to ensure you look your best on the most important day of your life, book the Simply Gorgeous team and get ready to feel beautiful!!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup for my wedding day...and my bridesmaids, flower girls and Mother in Law were extremely happy as well. We used Melissa & Alisa - I had a few adjustments I wanted to make for my wedding day (after doing the trial) - they both listened to my concerns and blew me away with how well they executed my look. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted all night and they were a pleasure to spend time with. Would use both of them in a heartbeat and would highly recommend for any special event!

Simply Gorgeous helped both me and my bridal party (14 bridesmaids!) all feel amazing on my wedding day. I had Jessie for makeup and Melissa for hair - both amazing, kind, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. I wasn't sure what I wanted going in and after my trials I knew I was going to look exactly how I wanted. I was very nervous going in about timing for getting so many of us ready but with 6 artists total we were ready with an hour more than we expected to relax- it was perfect. Every single one of my bridesmaids was happy with their look, which included several different up/down styles, which made my day even better. It was natural and beautiful. Thank you for making it such a fun experience and exactly what I hoped for- I would highly recommend using Simply Gorgeous by Erin to anyone looking for amazing hair/makeup!

We had Melissa and LaToya do the hair and makeup for my wedding, and they were amazing! My hair was exactly what I wanted it to be, and Melissa listened, gave great advice, and checked in with me every step of the way. LaToya and I had a great conversation during my trial in which she really understood my makeup style. I felt like a glam version of myself, and it was all thanks to them! The company is amazing, they encourage and support women of all types! Book today!

Jessie from Simply Gorgeous was the makeup artist on our wedding day. Not only was she a talented artist, but she was so sweet, caring, and fun! We absolutely loved her!! Our makeup looked unbelievable, and she made us feel so beautiful. She knew exactly what look I wanted!! It was so much fun having her as part of our big day! It was easy and worry-free working with Simply Gorgeous. Definitely recommend!!

My maid of honor (who is also a hair stylist) recommended I reach out to Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino for my wedding, I valued her opinion as not only my best friend but also as a hairstylist and am so happy that I did! Working with Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino was wonderful, from the first email/phone call to the last finishing touches on my wedding day everything was amazing! The communication was always quick, informative and friendly, and when I inquired about adding on two more for makeup to my already large bridal party I received a response immediately saying absolutely no problem at all! I worked with Nicole as a hair stylist and Jesse as a make up artist. When I showed my bridal party the photo's from my trial they were all so impressed with the makeup even the girls that originally opted out of having makeup done changed their minds and all of them wanted it to be done! Jesse ,Nicole both worked with me and set up a perfect timeline to accommodate getting hair and makeup done for 14 ladies and they even finished early! Nicole and Jessie are so easy going and friendly it made getting ready together so laid back and enjoyable. They are both so flexible and talented, with 14 ladies there was a lot of ideas thrown out to them of what style they would like for their hair and make up and both Nicole & Jessie and the two assistants that came with them accommodated each and everyone of the ladies and their ideas, everyone was so happy with their look for the day! I really can not say enough great things about both Nicole & Jessie and also the assistants! All of the guests are still commenting on how wonderful everyone looked and asking who did our hair and make up (and I of course am so proud to say Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino and recommend them!)

SGBE is the best ever! I had a few makeup trials that did not capture the style and look I was going for. I did not want to look dramatic and different then how i normally would wear my hair and make up for an event. My wonderful wedding planner Diana Chounaird of Jubilee Events recommended Erin. From our first phone consultation it was a very pleasant experience. "All the warm and fuzzies". We discussed what I did not like and what I was looking for. It was challenging for me to travel back and forth frequently because I was living and working in NM. Erin was reassuring and so we scheduled a trial a few weeks before the wedding! My makeup trial and wedding day was done by Jessie. I cannot thank her enough or stop admiring her work. So much fun to talk to while getting the make up done. Jessie has an impressive background in make up and has worked on both coasts. She also has pretty cool tips on the products she uses to get that glam glow. I know my bridemaids were hovering around her trying to learn a few tricks. My hair trial and wedding day hair was done by Sarah. Initially, I went with an updo which she whipped up beautifully. On the day of, I decided I just wanted a side swept look with waves. IT LOOKED AMAZING. I received so many compliments on my look and the hair pin that was clipped to the side, so glamorous. My ladies had pics of what they wanted and both Sarah and Jessie made it happen. Jessie also did my makeup the day before for my rehearsal dinner and it was beautiful. We went with a red lip and dramatic eyes. I would highly recommend brides-to-be to check out Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino's IG page for ideas and actual pics. I also want to give Samantha a shoutout, she did a fabulous job with working around my schedule to book appointments. Very pleasant and cheerful to speak with at a time of wedding related stress. SGBE is simply amazing and I am highly recommending them for hair and makeup for any type of event!
