Truly Happy Beauty OnLocation/Destination Makeup & Hair

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Truly Happy Beauty for our wedding, and they were nothing short of amazing! The team was so incredibly kind and friendly, creating such a positive and fun atmosphere. My bridesmaids absolutely loved working with them and couldn't stop talking about how fantastic the experience was. What truly stood out was how they listened to each person's individual preferences and made sure everyone was ecstatic with their looks. The level of professionalism was outstanding, and they were impressively organized, ensuring that all 11 of us were ready on time without any stress. A special shout out to Margie, who did my hair and makeup as the bride. Her creativity ensured we perfected my look well in advance of the big day during my trial. She captured my vision perfectly and I loved my look! Truly Happy Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you're looking for a talented, friendly, and professional hair and makeup team, look no further!! They made our day even more special and unforgettable!

Truly Happy Beauty was without a doubt the best choice I could have made for my wedding hair and makeup. Margie was extremely easy to communicate with and helpful throughout the whole process. Erica and Mayra were so attentive during my trial, listening to exactly what I envisioned, providing recommendations, and ultimately executing hair & makeup that were way better than anything I could have even imagined. Another priority for me was being able to dance all night without having to worry about ruining my look, and my hair and makeup stayed PERFECT the entire night! Couldn't recommend Truly Happy Beauty more!

Margie and Natalie were wonderful to work with on our wedding day. Margie made me feel beautiful- and I wouldn't have got in my dress without her expertise!! They made a real fuss of my flowergirls!

Margie and the Truly Happy Beauty team were wonderful to work with on my wedding day! We had a total of 9 for the wedding day and the schedule was smooth and drama free! They brought such a calming, fun energy. I did a hair and make-up trial with Margie over the summer before my winter wedding. I reached out to her after the trial to make some changes. She was always so responsive, lovely and flexible. On the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful, confident and radiant. My hair and make-up looked PERFECT. My mother and bridesmaids were glowing and as a whole, they crushed it! Something I would love to note: the Truly Happy Beauty makeup team does not cake on the make-up or make you look like someone else. They truly elevate your natural beauty and make you look stunning! Hire them if you want an incredible process for your wedding day!

Margie was so lovely to work with, from the trial through the wedding itself. I changed my mind at the last minute about my hair and added an additional person for hair/makeup, and Margie made these adjustments seamlessly. I highly, highly recommend her if you are looking for someone accomplished, talented, and personable.

Truly Happy Beauty was wonderful to work with! Margie did an excellent job with my hair & makeup as well as the rest of the group. My makeup lasted all day, and she was realistic about how well my hair would hold throughout the day given my fine texture, so we picked a look that would stay styled even if it fell. I would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding hair & makeup in NYC!

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Communication with Margie was brilliant from the first time I contacted her. She was prompt replying and thorough in covering everything I needed. On the day Jaqueline arrived on time to do my hair and make up. What an absolute gem! She was really friendly, professional, reassuring and I enjoyed the whole experience. She was prepared with how I wanted to look and talked me through everything she was doing. Omg I looked amazing, she made me feel perfect! My make up and hair didn't move all day and night despite it being 80 degrees and an outdoor wedding in Central Park. I would give Truly Happy Beauty 100 stars if it would let me. They added to a wonderful day and made it utterly perfect!

I loved working with Margie and hairstylist Esmerelda for my recent wedding! I'm not a big makeup person, and my now-husband also prefers a natural look, so this was one of the vendor decisions I was most nervous about getting right. I am truly so happy I went with Truly Happy Beauty! At my trial, Margie talked through every step of the makeup application process and created a lovely, soft, glowing look. I got to try out a few lip options (and would have been able to test out more if needed, but she totally nailed it, so there wasn't really a need). Margie also has a warm, comfortable presence; it felt easy to relax and trust her. This trust carried through the planning and preparation process with a series of informative emails leading up to the day. On my wedding day, Margie and Esmerelda arrived at the venue prompt and prepared, and created awesome makeup and hairstyles for my mother and bridal party. Highlights included a much-anticipated French twist (mom) and an elaborate woven updo (sister). I have very short hair so did not have it styled myself, but was grateful that my dearest friends and family were in such great hands - everything looked beautiful and stayed in place through a long, hot day (with lots of dancing). Margie and team were friendly and kind throughout, and we were ready to roll for pictures ahead of schedule, which I'm told is rare on a wedding day. I felt comfortable, confident, and like my best self on this very important day. I am so thankful to Margie and her team for their excellent work, and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Margie & her team were amazing! Margie was lovely to work with and very responsive. My H&MU artist Jaxx was absolutely amazing. She listened closely to what I wanted and how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. She gave expert advice & helped me achieve my vision! It was a pleasure to work with Margie & Jaxx. I highly recommend for anyone looking!

“Truly Happy Experience “. I had the best experience with the artists from Truly Happy Beauty ! They were efficient , fun and brought a relaxed vibe to my wedding morning ! We felt we were hanging out with friends ! I loved my hairstyle and makeup . I don’t wear a lot of makeup , so I felt that I looked refreshed , like the best version of myself not like someone else . My bridesmaids also loved their look and were impressed . Margie is super organized , ( which I appreciate ) and kind . She answered all my emails right away and you could just tell they have done it a million times! I highly recommend them for stress free experience !

Working with Margie at Truly Happy Beauty was such a delight. Her team of artists did on-site makeup and hair for my five bridesmaids, my mom and me in about two hours, which left us plenty of time to sleep in and laugh and chat with each other throughout the process. We all looked fantastic. I’m not typically a big makeup or hair person, but she gave me a natural and beautiful look that held up the entire day without touch-ups! It was really easy to look through her instagram and pick some inspo pieces since I didn’t have strong opinions and hadn’t done a run-through. Thank you so much to the Truly Happy Beauty team for making us look our best!

I had an excellent experience with Margie and her team from Truly Happy Beauty! They achieved the natural yet elevated look that I had envisioned and made me feel beautiful and confident! My mother and bridesmaids also looked their absolute best thanks to Margie and her team. From our first meeting at my trial, Margie was kind, professional, organized, and supportive. She also brought an upbeat and positive attitude on the morning of my wedding which I really appreciated. I was so happy with the result and highly recommend Truly Happy Beauty for any bride!

I had the privilege of working with Margie at Truly Happy Beauty for my wedding hair and makeup. Both Margie and her assistant were professional, friendly, and well-prepared, and made sure myself, my family and friend felt at ease. They listened to each person's preferences and made each of us look beautiful! I highly recommend Margie for any bride-to-be seeking a talented hair and makeup artist.

This team is UNBELIEVABLE. We had Daisy and Jackie help myself and my bridesmaid get ready for our wedding on June 3. Jackie is calm and so much fun. She was incredible to work with and listened to my feedback as we worked together to create my dream wedding look. I have never felt more beautiful! My wedding was the best day of my life and Jackie was a big reason. I cannot recommend Margie and the team more for a relaxing and lovely experience.

For my wedding I wanted something natural for my hair and make-up and margie did a wonderful job. I felt very comfortable and the result looked stunning. She exceeded my expectations and I am very happy that margie did such a great job of getting me dressed up for this special day.

Margie is the best! She did my hair perfectly for my wedding and I honestly can say it looked better than I ever dreamed it would. She was perfectly accommodating for my likes and how I wanted things which I so appreciated as someone who is hesitant about professional hair and makeup. Her and her team made me and my bridesmaids have a beautiful natural look which is exactly what I wanted. Would hire her and her team again and again !

Margie and her team were absolutely fantastic. She was a joy to be around and her work was incredible. She listened to my wishes and hopes for the entire look and absolutely nailed it. Margie had such a warm and relaxing energy as well that was so appreciated on the "big day." We'd hire her again and again if we could and I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Margie!

Margie and her team were AMAZING! They did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. The hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted. Very natural with and updo. I was so nervous and they made this whole experience so calm and stress free. They were very straightforward with me about everything I needed to know for my wedding. My bridesmaids all LOVED their looks as well! THANK YOU MARGIE AND TEAM <3

I worked with THB this past weekend for my wedding and let me say Margie and Esmeralda were amazing!!! It was an absolute pleasure having THB on my special day. From day one, Margie was really responsive, very professional, and so kind. She worked with me in creating a schedule and hairstyle and makeup during my trial. I wanted something natural and she delivered. I was so shocked she matched my skin tone in one try. The day of my wedding Margie went above and beyond. I needed some assistance with putting on lotion and a necklace and without asking Margie went and helped me. She did not need to do that, but she did and words cannot describe how happy I am with Margie. My hair and makeup looked amazing and lasted all night, even after doing some headbanging to heavy metal. My bridesmaid and mom also looked amazing. Their makeup also lasted the entire day. We were all getting so many complements the entire night. I highly recommend hiring THB for your special day.

Margie is absolutely AMAZING & a MUST HIRE! I am so lucky I was able to work with Margie twice for my weddings - thanks to COVID. She is beyond kind, personable, flexible, easy and extremely professional. She is beyond thorough asking for you to provide pictures of all girls hair and makeup inspiration, thickness of hair to set up an appropriate timeline for each guest to be ready on time. My main concern was looking like I had too much makeup on or just didn't look like myself. Margie was able to make me look and feel absolutely stunning in an "elevated natural" look. My makeup & hair lasted all day in 85+ degree weather in Hawaii - no touch ups needed. My large wedding was in Maui, where I traveled to solely for a makeup trail and I absolutely did not look or feel like myself. Margie shared she does travel and I was so lucky she was free for my date. Wherever you are getting married - hiring Margie is a MUST. I am so lucky to have had her in NYC and Maui for my special days! I recommend Margie to all my friends and I am hopeful to get to use her again in the future!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Margie and her team! I'm originally from NY, but live in London. This meant there were lots of emails back and forth, but Margie was super helpful answering all my questions and putting me at ease throughout. I scheduled my trial 4 days before my wedding when I landed back in NY. Margie was patient with me as I explained the look I wanted and then worked together to bring it to life. On the big day, Margie and Daisy were calm, professional and covid safe - wore masks, clean products, etc. They were fantastic at doing hair and make up for myself, 5 bridesmaids and a flower girl! Sometimes when I have makeup done professionally, I don't think I look like me, but not this time. The soft glam look was just the right amount and I felt beautiful and confident. All the girls looked stunning with their elevated looks and everyone's hair and makeup stayed in place all day, from 12pm to 12am! Flawless! Would definitely recommend Margie and the team :)

I write for a living and I still don't have enough words to say how grateful I am to Margie for the wedding look she gave me. We ended up cancelling our big wedding in Ireland and eloping to NYC on a pretty tight timeframe. Here in Ireland I was going to have a friend do my hair and makeup so I didn't even know where to start looking for a stylist. I'm quite self conscious and almost never wear makeup. My worst fear was being caked in product and heavy contour and not looking or feeling like myself. When I found Truly Happy Beauty and saw the lovely soft looks she specialises is, I just knew I'd found the right one. Thank goodness I was getting married on a Tuesday, because she was available! Margie came to my hotel room and worked her magic on me and my bridesmaid. She was so friendly, calming, and funny, and just insanely talented. I wasn't sure what kind of hairstyle I wanted: what I had planned for my Irish wedding wasn't going to work in hot humid August NYC. What she did was the perfect, soft, romantic boho updo I couldn't even have imagined. And the makeup was just as amazing. She started very light with an almost-no-make-up type look, as I had requested, and then when I felt comfortable and decided I wanted a little more, bumped it up to a very natural soft glam. I honestly have never felt so beautiful. I could cry just thinking about it now. It lasted all day and night: I didn't even need to use the adorable little touch up kit she gave me, so I passed it on to my SIL who got married a month later. If you're thinking about it: just book her. She is amazing.

I worked with Margie & her team for our wedding day on 10/22/22 and could not have been happier with the outcome. From our initial conversation, trial and final product I am so grateful to have worked with THB. Margie is so professional, sweet and TALENTED. During the trial we spent several hours making sure the full look was exactly what I wanted and she totally nailed it on the wedding day. I had so many compliments on my hair/ hair piece and natural glam. She made all of my bridesmaids and family members feel super beautiful and special, as well. I could not be more grateful to have worked with such an artist, please hire them immediately!!

Margie came to the rescue for my bridesmaids at the 11th hour because I had to change up their hair and makeup team at the last minute. My mother and my bridesmaids looked absolutely STUNNING. One of my girls was uncomfortable with having makeup done, and Margie walked her through each step before doing it to make sure she was comfortable. My bridesmaids, mother and I could not be more thankful for Margie and Truly Happy Beauty and the incredible job that they did. 💕

From my first contact with Margie, I knew that Truly Happy Beauty was the perfect team for my wedding hair and makeup. As a detail-oriented person, Margie made me feel comfortable by answering all my questions with detailed responses. She was quick to respond throughout the wedding process. On the wedding day, Jaxx, Marie, and Daisy took wonderful care of my bridesmaids, my mom, my sister-in-law, my flower girl, and myself. They arrived punctually and made sure that we kept to our schedule, which has rarely been the case with weddings I've been a part of. They provided elegant, elevated, beautiful styles for each woman, despite many different skin tones, hair textures, and preferences from each one. Everyone walked away looking gorgeous and feeling happy. Best of all, Jaxx, Marie, and Daisy kept a calm, chill vibe throughout the process, which made the day-of experience delightful. Highly recommend Truly Happy Beauty - THANK YOU!!

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!

As the name implies, I am truly happy and then some. Jade was so flexible and incredible on my wedding day. She took the time to listen to what I was needed. I am not particularly into makeup so I was worried about looking like me and not a glam magazine bride (which is fine if that’s your bag but not for me). Jade absolutely nailed what I wanted for hair and makeup and I felt gorgeous! Can’t say enough about how great everything turned out.

Margie and her team are amazing! From our first meeting, Margie was able to bring my vision to life! I walked in a frazzled mess and left a cool, calm, and collected beauty! She truly has a way of making you feel and look your best. I felt radiant on my wedding day and I owe it all to her and her team. She even gave me a little kit to help me look great throughout the remainder of our wedding day. My bridesmaids and family members also looked so beautiful and it was just such positive energy radiating throughout the room. You won't regret hiring Truly Happy Beauty...their name speaks to how you'll feel all day long! Thanks so much Margie & team! I feel so grateful to have had you along for the ride the morning of!

Margie is AMAZING. My wedding hair and makeup were absolutely perfect and natural. Margie is so kind, friendly and calming and was a joy to have around while getting ready with friends and family. Everyone was so pleased with her and her team's work. Hiring them is a must!

The short version: Hire them! The makeup look was natural, the hair stayed in place and she was great to work with. The longer version: Margie and her team were awesome. My main concerns were looking natural and price, and Margie delivered on 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.

My wedding hair and makeup were perfect thanks to TrulyHappyBeauty! She absolutely nailed the exact hair and makeup looks I wanted for my big day, and all of my bridesmaids were so happy with their looks, too :)

Margie and her team are incredible. EVERY and I mean EVERY girl LOVED their hair and makeup and the mothers did too. I have never ever felt prettier. Her team listened to what each girl wanted and nailed it. They were so easy to work with and they really care. HIRE THEM

BOOK Margie and her team!! She is THE BEST!! We did trial hair and make up and she listened to my concerns. She's very accommodating and understanding. The trial hair and make up came out super good!! On my wedding day, she was a pro! She was on time, all my bridesmaids and my mom and mom in law were super happy with their hair and make up. Mine was GORGEOUS!! (check their IG for videos and photos). My glowing bride mood was enhanced by her work! She elevates your beauty! On top of, she does more than make up. She helps you get fluff your skirt, etc. She's the one you want to be on #TeamBride.

Margie, Jade, Maira, and Michelle were the absolutely best glam team! We had a variety of hair textures, skin tones, ages, and preferences and they managed everything with charm and made everyone look like a goddess! Margie was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and made day-of go so smoothly!

Margie is amazing! From the beginning, there was clear communication. She and her team were punctual and professional, while managing a gaggle of ladies getting hair and makeup. She has an incredibly relaxing presence. We all looked amazing. I felt like a glamorous old-Hollywood star, exactly what I asked for! Margie is the best!

I had my wedding hair and makeup done with truly happy beauty and their team and I was so happy with the results. They made my dream look come true. They also have the option of traveling to your house which is amazing. They are so talented, professional and made the experience smooth and fun. For this I’ll always be grateful. My bridesmaids were so happy too. If you are looking for a makeup artist and a hairstylist look no further. They do both services and will go above and beyond to make your special day memorable!

Margie and her team were a dream to work with. So many of my girlfriends have utilized the Truly Happy Beauty team for their wedding -- a testament to their excellent services, artistry, and professionalism. I highly recommend brides having a 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.

Miss Margie made me feel beautiful for the first time in my life (I cried). I don’t wear makeup, I don’t even own makeup, but for my wedding day I wanted to feel special so we set up for hair AND makeup. We spoke in email prior to the appointment 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 💗🙏

Margie was awesome helping to schedule and accommodate for my big day, and Lucy my stylist was incredible!!! Even when I asked to alter the style slightly on the day she did so without hesitation and it came out like a dream!! My bridesmaids’ stylist was also extremely talented and creative. I truly couldn’t be happier with Truly Happy Beauty’s service. I’d recommend them to anyone!

I loved working with Margie and her team at Truly Happy Beauty. She was very personable and kind throughout the entire experience. She was receptive to my requests and accommodated a second hair trial when I needed it. Day of my wedding she was so helpful! Her team is was friendly and supportive to myself and my bridesmaids. She helped touch up midday and made sure everyone looked beautiful. Thank you!!! I would recommend!

The experience with Truly Happy Beauty from the trial to walking out the door on the big day was seamless!

I can’t say enough good things about Margie and the rest of the Truly Happy Beauty crew! I worked with Lucie, who did my hair and makeup. At the trial run, Lucie was incredibly professional, on time, and took Covid precautions. She even gave me the option to meet me at my home or at their studio in Midtown so that I could feel comfortable and so we could test out makeup in the best lighting possible. Lucie did an amazing job on both my hair and makeup and I felt beautiful coming out of my trial run that day. The same is absolutely true for my actual wedding day. I even changed my hairstyle at the last minute after feeling nervous and Lucie was able to accommodate me without issue. Lucie was nothing but professional and lovely and I was so happy with the outcome on my wedding day, so much so that I’m already considering working with Truly Happy Beauty for other major events vents in the city.

Margie, Jade, and the entire TrulyHappyBeauty team made me feel like a princess on my Wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful. They listened to my vision and executed on everything perfectly. I looked like the best version of myself. More importantly, they were able to adapt to the different style and looks of my bridesmaids. I had a multiracial bridal party (Asian, Black, Middle Eastern) and everyone was thrilled with the hair and makeup. On the day, they created such a relaxed and warm atmosphere in the bridal suite. We had the most fun! Jade stayed for pre-Ceremony photos to do touch-ups which I highly recommend! TrulyHappyBeauty is the best! You can't go wrong!

Margie and her team went above and beyond on my wedding day. All of the girls loved their hair and I too loved mine. I asked for loose big curls that would last all night without looking stiff or prom-like and margie did just that. She was also very professional and responded to my emails in a timely fashion. I truly recommend her on your special day.

Margie was amazing. The makeup and hair she did for me on the day of my wedding was amazing and better than my trial with her. She is easy to work with and made me feel confident and comfortable on my big day.

Margie and her team were the pinnacle of professionalism. Leading up to the wedding, they were in constant contact with me, making themselves available to answer all my questions, and address any of my concerns. On day of, they were prepared, accommodating, and made the process so much fun! I will be forever grateful to Truly Happy Beauty for making sure that I had a perfect day!

Margie, Lucy and their team were so easy and fantastic to work with for my wedding! Margie was always very responsive and helpful in the planning stages of our wedding and Lucy and her team made me and my bridesmaids look and feel beautiful on the big day! I would highly recommend Truly Happy Beauty!!

Margie did my hair and make up for my wedding and it was AMAZING! I truly felt like a princess and was so confident on my special day! She was so helpful on helping me put together my look! I would totally recommend her and the team for your special event. Thank you Margie!

Margie was a dream to work with! She is so lovely and she and her team did such great work! I loved how my hair and makeup came out and my bridal party looked gorgeous! Loved working with Margie!!
