Truly Happy Beauty OnLocation/Destination Makeup & Hair Reviews

Margie is beyond incredible and I’m so thankful she was there on my wedding day! I left booking hair and makeup until quite late in the planning process and got worried I wouldn’t find anyone I’d really like. In the end I was so lucky to find T...
ruly Happy Beauty especially since I was planning my wedding from Europe and my trial was only a few days before my actual wedding. Aside from the excellent reviews, seeing how happy and radiant all of the Truly Happy Beauty brides were on the Instagram page convinced me that I could trust them even before my trial. Margie is such a professional, despite being busy on location most of the time, she’s excellent at responding to emails, as well as great at time keeping. She’s experienced not only in bridal beauty, but she’s worked in media shoots and fashion week events. She has a great eye, amazing talent, a calming presence not to mention so much positivity which is sometimes so essential on the day! Despite already having a long day and early start the next morning for NYFW, she worked until quite late for our trial, so we could nail down the bridal look and she was so sweet to my mother who was watching her work quite intently! Her approach to trials is great, she starts with the basics and builds up looks from whatever inspiration you come with while taking photos of the looks at significant stages. It helps to get you comfortable, you can see if you want to add a bit more at every stage and if it feels like too much then the previous look works as a cut-off point. On the day, she went above and beyond her job – really, after finishing my look, she started helping out with finishing our favour tags as we were running behind schedule and she’d already worked another wedding before making her away over to ours. My hair and makeup were even more beautiful than the trial. She’d taken my inspiration images and created something much more elegant and romantic but something that also felt very true to my personality. Both the hair and makeup were flawless even several hours after the wedding finished and with no touch ups although she does give you a kit for that. The makeup felt super light and natural, as did my hair which normally doesn’t hold any style for that long. I’ve picked up so many tips on how to get a better look when I do my own beauty routine but I’ll be using her again for any event in the city. I received so many compliments, my husband thought I looked beautiful and I felt great! Margie embodies her company’s name perfectly, she’s lovely, hardworking, professional and will strive to make you feel amazing on your wedding day. You won’t be disappointed if you use Truly Happy Beauty.

After contacting so many other hair and make up artists who gave little information, Margie sent a detailed email with costs and the way everything worked in her first email. Even on vacation she was responsive and answered every question! She ...
connected me with Jaxx who was INCREDIBLE. So much fun to work with, gave me exactly the look I wanted and was an absolute joy to spend time with on the wedding day while getting ready with friends and family. She even helped redirect other vendors who were stressing me out and made sure I was having a great experience. And my very curly mostly down hairstyle and make up made it through the entire 90+ degree day looking like new. Highly recommend!

both. Everything looked really natural and she was by far the best priced (especially for the quality) vendor by far. On the wedding day, they were right on time, stayed on schedule despite a bridesmaid being late, and were flexible. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup and looked amazing. Margie was great to work with from my trial. She let me start with a smaller contract due to the uncertainty of weddings during covid and let me add hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids a few months before the wedding. She also stayed for touchups through the ceremony which I highly recommend. Everyone loved her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting hair and makeup done.

trial/run through with Margie prior to the wedding day. Margie was able to make specific suggestions and recommendations to amplify my desired look (eg, highlights and extensions). DO listen to her, she will not steer you wrong. In addition, because of the run-through, Margie was super prepared and in a flow with my hair on the wedding day. I would also like to point out that the team is very skilled with hair and makeup for East Asian women. Meaning, they do not over-do it, which commonly happens with many Western MUA, and rather brings out the right features with subtlety and naturalness. Margie and THB are flexible and amenable, communicate timely and concisely, and they manage expectations well. I cannot recommend them enough to someone looking for a high quality, all-inclusive, no-stress glam squad for their special day.

nt and she was very clear about what she needed and asked exactly what I was looking for. She started with hair and she did a beautiful wavy messy side updo that I wish I could wear everyday (I cried). The products she used smelled SO GOOD and she also taught me along the way. I don’t know anything about hair care or skincare and she told me everything she was using and how to use the products. Before she started on makeup she spritzed my face with this rose water spray that I still think about! (I cried!) Lolol Same with hair, she let me know every product she used. I have really sensitive skin and don’t really like makeup and she was somehow able to make me look so glam with so few products. The lashes were my absolute favorite (I cried)! At the end she gave me a little touch up on the go bag, with tissues, blotting papers, extra lipstick, it was the cutest most thoughtful little thing (of course I cried). My dogs were also obsessed with her and wouldn’t leave her alone. She loved it. I loved it. I love when people love my dogs. We chatted the whole time like we were old friends. She made me feel so beautiful and special and my husband couldn’t stop saying how amazing I looked. My hair and makeup lasted all day I still looked beautiful when we got home late at night. My day was so beautiful and I felt so comfortable because of Margie. She is so talented and warm and just lovely to be around. I can’t even think of all the good things to say about her and her company. 1000000/10 love her 💗🙏

I even changed my hairstyle at the last minute after feeling nervous and Lucie was able to accommodate me without issue.

I had SUCH a great experience with Margie and the Truly Happy Beauty team on my wedding day! They arrived at our venue early, got the room all set up for me and my 6 bridesmaids, and were ready to go right on time. Throughout the day, they were...
so fun, energetic, and incredibly accommodating with me and each of my bridesmaids. They spent time making sure each of us (as well as my mom) looked exactly how we had envisioned, and at the end of the day, everyone's hair and make up looked BEYOND beautiful. Each bridesmaid had a similar look with a slightly individualized flare and they all loved their hair and make up styles. I had seen Margie for 2 pre-wedding hair & makeup trials and she was SO warm and helpful during each one. Even though I could hardly describe the look I was going for at the time... she figured out exactly what I wanted and on my wedding day, I looked more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Hands down best I've ever looked or felt in my life - thanks to Margie and the team!!

tried my hair 3 different ways and took tons of photos of each from every angle so I could decide later for myself. It was an easy choice - the last style she did, and the one she recommended most for me, was clearly the best. Over the next few months she helped me find extensions that would work for me and my style, advised me on how to guide my bridesmaids into choosing styles, helped me figure out how design my veil, assisted me on scheduling the day, and answered any questions I had immediately. She recreated the look from my trial perfectly for my wedding, it was comfortable, secure, and it lasted throughout the night - which is a truly incredible feat with my hair texture. My wedding day was a bit rainy and my hair didn't frizz or go limp at all, is stayed shiny, smooth and bouncy to the end, even though our very twirly choreographed dance, which had two dips in it, not single hair was out of place. The extensions didn't feel heavy at all and they blended in perfectly with my hair, adding in just a touch of volume that had been lost by the half up look. She and her team also handled my bridesmaids hair perfectly! I had a very diverse group of ladies, with a huge range of hair textures, lengths, weights and colors, all of them wanted different styles and all of them up-dos. Each woman's hair looked unique and perfectly suited to her, my maid of honor has short hair and had requested a high bun, which did start to come apart by the time dancing rolled around, but she remarked on how light and comfortable it felt throughout the evening. No one had a fried, over teased, hair-sprayed look. Everyones hair looked naturally polished and beautiful. Thank you so much Margie for making us all look glamorous!

gie’s process was exceptional, very professional, and most of all fun! I connected with her early on in my wedding planning process, and ended up committing to work with them even before we met in person or did my trial given their already outstanding reviews and the great conversations I was able to have remotely (as I live across the country but was getting married in the NJ area). We ended up doing the trial the week before my wedding, but exchanged several emails and photos beforehand so it ended up working out great and was not stressful at all. Two things stood out to me about Truly Happy Beauty: First, all of their looks were incredibly natural looking, which I really wanted since I rarely wear a full face of makeup and wanted to look like my best but true self. I got so many compliments from family and friends that my hair and makeup looked flawless and most of all so natural. And I didn’t even have to do a single reapplication over the course of the night. Second, Margie and her team were SO nice and easy to work with. That is huge for the wedding day since so much of my time was spent with them in the morning/afternoon hours, and they really helped keep me calm and have a great time getting ready! We also had 12 of us for hair & makeup but they ran the process so smoothly without any drama or time issues.

t was for a few reasons: first, I was totally clueless about the process. Second, I don't wear makeup, and I'm very fearful about anything being applied near my eyes (I flinch like crazy and my eyes water uncontrollably). Third, I had a very non-traditional idea for hair for myself and my bridesmaids (we all chose styles that were inspired by our favorite sci-fi and fantasy heroines). I was nervous about finding a stylist who would be willing to work with my quirky hair idea and would also be understanding of my fears about makeup application. Margie was the first (and only) stylist I scheduled a trial with, and the moment I met her I knew she was going to be amazing to work with. She got genuinely excited when I told her my hair concept, and when she applied my makeup she worked slowly and carefully, adjusting her methods in order to both get all the makeup applied and make me feel completely at ease while doing so. And beyond all that, I loved how natural and beautiful I looked when she was done! I booked her immediately and it was honestly one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire planning process. She and her fellow stylist arrived to our hotel on time the morning-of, worked hard to keep us all on schedule, and were enthusiastic and cheerful the entire time. Margie even remembered that my sister (who had come along on my trial) and I were Star Wars fans, so she surprised us with adorable little Star Wars pouches for us to use for our touch up kits. So thoughtful!! Our hair and makeup lasted the entire day. I felt so confident, and I received tons of compliments about how naturally radiant I looked.

Margie and her team are truly incredible. They all were efficient, fun, kind, relaxed and professional. All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup - they all looked, and more importantly, felt incredible! Margie went above a...
nd beyond - she helped with posing for photos when we needed an extra hand, bustle my dress, touched up the entire wedding party when needed, and even offered the shoes off her feet to my grandmother when she couldn't walk comfortably in the shoes she had brought! Margie and her team are a group of incredible women and I highly recommend them!

If I could give Margie and her team 10 stars, I would. Working with Margie was the most seamless part of my entire wedding planning process from start to finish. My girls felt really pretty and were impressed by the team's talent and expertise....
We all felt like we were hanging out with friends on the day of the wedding. When my hair and makeup was completed, it actually made me cry. I can't wait to recommend Margie and Truly Happy Beauty to everyone I know. Also want to note that my hair trial was different than the final and I was nervous about making the change without having a trial first, but Margie did a fantastic job making my vision a reality. THANK YOU!

I cannot stress how awful the trial turned out. While Lucie was very sweet, she lacked confidence and capability. My hair and makeup looked "off," and when I expressed this to Lucie she didn't really have a response. I was upset during the tria...
l but even more upset when nobody followed up with me after to check in. Plus, the trial location was small and suffocating. I had another trial with beautini and they were much more accommodating.

Dear Brides, I can not say enough about Margie Bresciani/ Truly Happy Beauty -Bridal Make-up & Hair Styling. I invested lot of time searching for my make up artist and hair stylist. After my disappointing make up trial, I found Margie to be my ...
savor. She is extremely sweet and very professional. She spent enough time with me to discuss my needs. I was impressed how she ended up with the looks exactly as I desired during my trial. On the wedding day, Margie came on time. She made my Maid of honor and myself very relaxed and comfortable. Quality of work was outstanding. We both looked and felt beautiful. I would definitely recommend her services to every bride. Just do your trial and do not worry on your big day because you are in good hands!

Margie was absolutely amazing. I loved working with her from the trial through the wedding reception. She's kind and friendly. She provides input but is incredibly flexible and open to adjust based on the client's preferences. Even more importa...
ntly, she was terrific with my mom. My mom had never had her makeup done, and she was pretty uncomfortable with the idea. Margie didn't pressure her at all, and in the end, my mom looked beautiful in person and in photos, and I know she was really happy she had decided to have her makeup done professionally.

Margie is the best! The quality of her work is outstanding. I booked her for hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party (total of 9 people). I can't say this enough - when you look good - you feel great - don't skimp on your wedding day! Sh...
e was very accommodative during the trialing process and even made a slight tweak day-of to my lip color. She brought two extra people for my bridal party of 9 and we actually ran ahead of schedule! Her pricing is competitive and a great value for what you are getting. Everyone got lashes and airbrush foundation - this is a plus that she offers vs. others that charge extra. They even got rid of some unsightly tan lines on some girls which was extremely helpful in pictures. Go with Margie - you won't be disappointed!

It was great having Margie as a professional make-up artist at my wedding day in Holland. Great performance, good work and stood by to help out during the day when needed.

I chose Margie as my hair and makeup artist for my elopement in New York after she was recommended to me by my wedding photographer! It's always a risk when organising from a different country so had to rely on the good reviews I'd already seen...
! From the first email she was quick to reply and was very friendly and informative! On the day, Margie arrived at my hotel room on time as arranged and was friendly and welcoming which put me at ease! She was quick to set out all her makeup and equipment and got straight to work! I had to cancel my trial before the wedding so Margie had to rely on my photos for the look I wanted on the day but she got it perfect straight away! She really knows what she's doing and is great at her job! I'm very pleased I chose her and would use her again if I needed to and would definitely recommend her to others! You won't be disappointed!

Margie is absolutely amazing at what she does! I first met Margie when I was 25, in search of an airbrush makeup artist to help me feel even more amazing for my 25th birthday. She made me feel very comfortable, listened to what I wanted, and al...
so used her professional eye to determine what look would go well with my features. Margie did such an amazing job that I saved her number and called her 3 years later to book her for my wedding (which just occurred on September 4th 2016). She was the first vendor I called and was thrilled to have Margie do my wedding makeup. Margie brought her team along to do hair and makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mother. We all looked beautiful in our own way, with hair and makeup that matched our own unique style and personality. We all received a ton of compliments! Also, a huge plus is that my makeup stayed intact until the next morning (so I looked super fresh during our brunch) and the airbrush makeup she uses is gentle on the skin. You cannot go wrong with Margie and her team! I will be reaching out to her for all my major life events :)

Margie is not only talented with hair and makeup, but she is also very experienced with brides and how to prepare for the big day. I chose Margie because she did both hair and makeup and it is rare to find someone who does both so well. Margie ...
