The Artists Hair & Makeup was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the very beginning, coordinating with Erin was an absolute pleasure. She was responsive, organized, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, making everything feel seamless and stress-free.
On the wedding day, Erin, Yuliana, and Francesca were amazing! Beyond their obvious talent, they brought such a warm, calming, and positive presence to the morning, which made getting ready with my bridal party even more enjoyable. They kept everything running smoothly while ensuring each person felt comfortable, listened to, and beautiful.
As a bride, I wanted to feel like myself, just a little more polished and elevated, and Erin absolutely nailed that vision! My hair and makeup felt natural, timeless, and beautiful, and everything held up perfectly throughout the entire day and night. I didn’t even need the touch-up kit that Erin generously provided. Yuliana and Francesca also did a fantastic job with my bridal party and family, taking the time to personalize each look so that everyone felt confident and looked their best.
Looking back at our photos, I am still so happy with how everything turned out. I received countless compliments, but more importantly, I felt comfortable, confident, and completely like myself. I am so grateful to Erin, Yuliana, and Francesca for their incredible work and for helping make the morning of my wedding feel so special! If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful hair and makeup team, I cannot recommend The Artists Hair & Makeup highly enough!

am a bit picky when it comes to my hair and makeup as I do not often get professional glam, however, Erin and her team made sure I felt comfortable and that everything looked exactly as I wanted. They made me feel so special and I have truly never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day! My bridal party also looked and felt fabulous! Our glam lasted all day/night :)
I will highly recommend The Artists to anyone who is in need of professional hair/makeup, especially for a day as important as your wedding. They were a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to work with them again!

From the trial to the wedding day, Erin and her team at The Artists truly exceeded every expectation. The trial went wonderfully. Erin took so much time and care to make sure every...
detail was exactly how I envisioned it, and I left feeling completely confident and excited.
On the wedding day, they arrived early and unbelievably prepared. They brought professional makeup chairs and tables, and everything was set up in such an organized, efficient way. When it was time to transition to photos, they broke down their entire three-artist setup in under 10 minutes, which kept our timeline running perfectly.
Erin and her team completed hair and makeup for nine people, and everyone looked absolutely stunning. The looks were the perfect balance of natural and glam, and it was such a bonus that so many of us were able to have airbrush makeup. Every bridesmaid’s hairstyle matched her inspiration photo beautifully. They also checked in with each person, offering adjustments and making sure everyone felt completely happy and comfortable. Erin also provides the bride with a thoughtful touch-up kit, including the same sponge used for foundation, a mini powder with a puff, clear lip gloss, makeup wipes, and tissues — which was such a helpful and appreciated detail throughout the day.
Beyond their incredible talent and professionalism, the overall vibe of the morning was so relaxed and calm, which made getting ready feel effortless and joyful. It truly set the tone for such an incredible wedding day.
Booking hair and makeup was honestly one of the most daunting parts of wedding planning for me, but any nerves disappeared the moment they arrived. I was so relaxed knowing we were in such capable, thoughtful hands.
I truly could not recommend Erin and The Artists more — I was beyond happy with everything.

their fault, bridal party to blame). She never made me feel rushed. They listened to what everyone wanted and delivered with all types and lengths of hair and then some! Seriously, the best. Erin is also very responsive in a timely manner and I never worried about keeping in touch, especially because we booked her nearly a year in advance. Thank you, Erin, for making me and my girls beautiful on the best day of my life!

They were able to style all different hair textures and skin tones! Everyone looked so beautiful and their hair and makeup held up all night.

to my hair and make up trial, and up until the big day. I met with her the first time for my trial and it was clear that she knew what he was doing, and that she really matched and understood what I were looking for on our big day. She is funny and easy to talk to!
The day of she was prompt, and everything went off without a hitch. She brought also brought Ayshleane and Francesca for hair, and Lauren for make up, who all did an amazing job. Everyone looked AMAZING on our big day and everyone thought each of the girls was so lovely. They were so professional and we ended the hair and make up way ahead of schedule!

I had never had someone else do my makeup at that point. But I can 100% safely say that you can trust Erin!!!! She was so amazing at my trial I knew there was going to be nothing to worry about on the actual wedding day. I ended up completely changing the look I wanted for makeup (changed to full coverage and more of a matte eye) and Erin absolutely killed it without missing a beat. I didn’t imagine that I would be one to cry after seeing my completed hair and makeup but I absolutely did! (Don’t worry I was prepared with tissues to dab so I did not ruin anything!). Erin is amazing. Please do yourself a favor and book her. The minute she stepped into my room the morning of the wedding she had the perfect energy level and made sure I was happy throughout the entire process. We were also lucky to work with Ayshleane and Noel who were also awesome! The moms, all my bridesmaids and my precious nana all looked beautiful! Please if you have any hesitation on who to book for your hair and makeup BOOK WITH ERIN!!!

not a huge hair and makeup girlie so Erin's guidance was so critical. She helped me achieve my goal of looking like an elevated version of my everyday self.
Erin and Yuliana were also an absolute joy to spend the morning with. They had the perfect energy for our morning. I really appreciated how they let our group enjoy getting ready by ourselves but also joined in on the fun where it made sense. You may not realize it, but you spend a critical portion of the day with your hair and makeup artists so you want the vibe to be right. Erin and Yuliana were perfect - helping to calm my early morning jitters and get me excited for the big day. I was so happy with my experience - highly, highly recommend!

oon as I went for my trial for hair and makeup but they truly outdid themselves even from that for my actual wedding day, I had the pleasure of having Erin, Laura and Lindsey and they were all amazing and super fun to be around and all were extremely friendly and provided touch ups to everyone before they left for the day. Also an added touch is that they travel to you which was super convenient since my ceremony and reception were held in the same place so I didn’t have to worry about traveling anywhere all day. I believe I ended up having 11 people getting both hair and makeup done and they finished extremely fast while still taking their time to make sure each person was perfect and were extremely efficient and the room never once felt cramped or congested at least to me. I can not recommend them enough you will not be disappointed and they really know what they’re doing and can help you look stunning even if you’re not sure what you’re looking for yourself! I personally never do my hair never do my makeup and went in having no idea what I wanted or what to do and I’ve never felt more beautiful in my whole life thanks to them.

They were so fun and kept the energy up, and they stayed on/ ahead of schedule the whole morning.
They provided amazing services and everybody's makeup and hair lasted the whole day and night. It was a hot and humid day and I was certain my makeup would melt and my hair would lose its curl during our outdoor ceremony, but I was so wrong! I felt just as beautiful at the end of the night!
They use an online portal, which connects to email, for communication, payments, and photos of hair and makeup trials. I loved how easy this made all communications. They responded to all my questions super quickly which I appreciated.
I highly recommend The Artists Hair + Makeup!

She was transformed following the make-up and hair session and thus felt confident and beautiful enough to participate in family photos. This lifted all of our spirits and greatly diminished stress levels! We award this team the highest recommendation possible---off the charts!

Both women were easy to work with and helpful. If you come with an idea of what you’re looking for, they will do everything they can to create the right look that flatters you. If I remember my trial right, I said I wanted my makeup to be natural and I wanted to look like myself, and for my hair I wanted a romantic updo. I didn’t give them much to go on, clearly, but they did a great job interpreting the info I did provide. I felt like myself, just dolled up, which was exactly what I was aiming for. My hair gave me romantic fairytale vibes in the best way. All the ladies, including the mother of the groom, looked absolutely lovely! The Artists were very transparent and communicative throughout the process, and I’m so happy with the beautiful job they did! I still can’t believe how smoothly everything went.

Erin and Laura provided hair & makeup services for my wedding. I spent probably the most time and effort trying to find hair and makeup services. I consider myself a smart woman, b...
ut I was so confused by the quotes and how to interpret the prices/services…and so many places have a snooty vibe to them. Erin and Laura were soooo clear and concise about pricing and incredibly down to earth. They are not only talented, but personable and hilarious. We felt comfortable and laughed the entire time. I was looking for a vendor that wasn’t charging insane prices, but also someone able to style multiple skin tones and hair textures. They were wonderful in all areas! I described what I was looking for and both Erin and Laura ran with it and nailed it (without sample photos because I forgot that part oops). My bridal party were even more stunning than usual! Definitely recommend them for whatever services you’re looking for.

Laura and Erin did my hair and makeup for my April 2022 wedding at the Beauport and they are the BEST. I knew from the moment I met them for the trial that I made the right decisio...
n picking them. They are so fun and have such positive energy and good humor. They made both my trial and wedding day a blast. I picked them initially because I wanted my hair in a low sleek knot bun and I saw pictures of them styling exactly that online. It is really hard to find someone who can do that! Most times I have gotten my hair done for other weddings with other stylists the hair vibe is very 80s/90s prom but The Artists are the total opposite. As soon as I turned around to show everyone my hair my cousin yelled out "OH MY GOD you are SO talented" to Erin and I knew I didn't even have to look in the mirror and that I was going to love my hair. Laura helped me create the perfect lip color that had just the right amount of red pop to it but not too much. I also switched my makeup up on her day of and picked different eye shadow colors from the trial and she handled it like a champ and I was so happy with the way everything came out. My 4 year old niece got her hair and makeup done and they were so patient with her and treated her like a princess. My sister and sister in law never wear makeup so they were really nervous getting it done and they both looked so natural and beautiful. I had the most fun morning getting ready with Laura and Erin. I wish I could do it all over again!!!!
