Simply Gorgeous by Erin Infantino

brought such positive energy and professionalism, making everyone feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. They did an incredible job on hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, grandma, mom, and mother-in-law—everyone looked stunning and felt so beautiful! Kelly and Laura truly understood each person’s style and preferences, making sure everyone was thrilled with their final look. Thank you, Kelly and Laura, for making my special day even more wonderful with your talent and positivity. You helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team!

nd groom. Cannot say enough good things about them.

myself, my mom, and my four bridesmaids. They were so helpful and receptive to any concerns/suggestions about our "looks." Having a quality hair and makeup team is so crucial to your wedding day! They made the morning a calm and fun situation and helped to ease my nerves as much as they could. When you look good, you're going to feel even better!! Thank you so much to the SGBE team!

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!

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!!

at 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!!!

o 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!

ed 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!

ng 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.

t! 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!

ing ready too! Definitely recommend!

y 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!

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

executed. The entire process of working with Simply Gorgeous was awesome!

, and created my dream bridal look. She was professional, sweet, and just felt like another one of the girls gettin ready with us!

tual, 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.

on’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!

d 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!!

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!

lves! 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!

s 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.

ecided 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!!!

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.

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!!

rocess. 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.

y 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!

r 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.

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!

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!

d 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!

r 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!!!

rable 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.

ing 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.

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

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!

led 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 :)

ts 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!

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 :)

dding! 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!

r and makeup. My entire bridal party looked gorgeous as well and felt amazing on the day of the wedding!

s 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!

ter 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.

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! ❤️

dding 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.

s 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!
