Upstyle is a must for your wedding! Jess, Shannon, Jessie, and Tori did such an incredible job with myself, my bridesmaids, our moms, and even my grandma. The girls are all so sweet and easy to talk to. They also have an amazing talent for enhancing your natural beauty while still making you look like yourself. We had a variety of hair types in our group, and the stylists easily made everyone’s vision come to life. Best of all, our makeup didn’t smudge, and our hair stayed in place despite the mid-August heat and humidity! I could not recommend them more!
The Upstyle staff was friendly, professional and communicative. They did beautiful hair and makeup for myself, the moms and my bridal party. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup on the wedding day and even in the weeks after the wedding.
I got my hair & makeup done for my wedding (as did my bridesmaids and the moms) and the Upstyle team of Raechel, Sophie, Megan and Erika were absolutely fantastic. There were THIRTEEN of us, including myself, but Upstyle perfected the schedule. Everyone looked incredible. Sophie did my hair, and Raechel did my makeup. I was absolutely elated with how both turned out. I felt like a real bride! Thank you Upstyle & team, especially Raechel & Sophie. xoxo
All my bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done by Upstyle. The girls all arrived early and honestly, I didn't really interact with them much, but they were all lovely. Every one of my bridesmaids had amazing things to say as well as their hair and makeup looked PERFECT. I think people are sometimes only focused on the Bride's experience, but you want your girls to look and FEEL great too! Every one of my bridesmaids told me how amazing they felt, 2 of which had their makeup done the next weekend and asked if they could just copy what they did for our wedding because they loved their makeup so much!
I have seen some nightmare stories about wedding MUAs getting a little TOO invovled on TikTok, this was the opposite. They were like Cinderella's helpers. Silently making everyone beautiful and adding a good vibe to the air. They all just brought an overwhelmingly positive vibe to the day, which is so important to having your wedding day feel amazing. Upstyle was so easy to interact with and deal with in the planning ahead of time and I have nothing but amazing things to say! Highly recommend!!!
I had a wedding this fall and chose Upstyle for my hair and makeup team! I could not have been happier with my decision. The hair/makeup artists we worked with were absolutely amazing! Abbie, Hannah, Savannah, and Autumn did a wonderful job! All of my bridesmaids, and including myself, loved our looks and felt beautiful! The girls who worked with us were so kind and personable which made the experience that much better! I had a large bridal party, and Upstyle (as well as the stylists) were very accommodating in time management and planning the day. It went as smooth as possible with 15+ girls getting ready! haha. I appreciate all their hard work and their patience with us.
The management team was also amazing! Lily always answered emails quickly. Brittany quickly got on a phone call with me when I was looking to book and she answered all of my questions! They were one of the quickest and most efficient hair/makeup company I spoke with, as far as communication goes! I had a great experience with Upstyle and would definitely recommend them! :) Thank you all!
Everything that we envisioned, Upstyle brought it to life. Abbie, Rebecca, Hannah and Katia were so much fun to work with! They were very personable and made our experience as perfect as it could have been.
working with Upstyle was wonderful. Communication was easeful with the business organizers, and I LOVED my stylists Megan and Susannah!! They felt like my girlfriends immediately. They made me feel so comfortable during the process, and it was really easy to get exactly the look I wanted. I loved being able to come in for a trial. It’s definitely an investment, but I knew I was going to look gorgeously natural — like myself, just more glowing — and that’s the most important thing to me on my wedding day.
I reached out to Upstyle days before my wedding after my makeup artist cancelled. After dealing with my previous makeup artist, who didn’t respond for weeks at a time, and was incredibly disorganized, working with Upstyle was a breath of fresh air. Within 24 hours of reaching out, I had a new makeup artist, contract and a schedule arrived shortly after. Their contracting and organization is so clear and organized - you can tell they are pros!
I was lucky enough to work with Savannah on the day of my wedding and I can’t rave about her enough. Since we had never done a trial I was a little nervous going in, but she totally got my vision. She worked with me and made sure I loved how everyone’s makeup turned out and was so open to any feedback. I had loved my trial makeup and was a little nervous I wouldn’t like my day of makeup as much, but Savannah’s look was actually ten times better. I felt so beautiful! Not to mention, she is so kind and fun to be around, it felt like we were friends. The makeup lasted phenomenally and I hardly needed my touch up kit.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist, I can’t recommend Savannah and Upstyle enough. They are the best of the best.
I worked with Lindsay and Danielle for my July 2024 wedding, and they were absolutely incredible! Not only did they do an amazing job with all the girls’ hair, but they were also a joy to chat with throughout the day. I’ve never seen an entire room of girls so happy with their hair at a wedding, and I have Lindsay and Danielle to thank for that.
They were so much fun, and as the bride, they truly helped calm my nerves and made the whole day a wonderful experience for me and the girls.
I felt so elevated with my wedding slicked-back bun hairstyle that Lindsay created—it was exactly what I had envisioned. Lindsay also went above and beyond, being extremely attentive to my hair and ensuring it stayed sleek and unaffected by the weather throughout the day.
My second hairstyle Lindsay did also turned out fantastic!
The girls can’t stop raving about how much we loved the Upstyle team—they were such a joy to work with and Lindsay and Danielle are exceptionally talented and special people.
Additionally, Brittany, Jessica and team were extremely organized and helpful with all the coordination leading up to the event and made the process so seamless.
I highly recommend Upstyle to any future brides—you won’t regret it!
I worked with Katia and Megan for my day off hair and makeup and it was perfect! As the bride I felt beautiful and natural in my own skin which is exactly what I wanted. My bridal party also all looked incredible! Outside of the incredible services they provided, both Megan and Katia were genuinely such a joy to work with. We had a great time spending the morning with them as they both are so friendly and kind. For any bride who is looking for natural, elevated beauty for her big day I cannot recommend UpStyle enough.
Professional to a T! Abbie (hair) and Autumn (makeup) were my dream team!! They did an awesome job for my wedding day! The makeup was natural and stunning! All the girls felt like glam goddesses. I felt like the most beautiful bride with their gifted hands. Do not hesitate to book Upstyle for your wedding day or your most special occasion!
I had an unbelievably amazing day thanks to Jessie, Shannon, Savannah, and Autumn! They were so professional and thoughtful. The makeup was natural and stunning, and all my bridesmaids loved working with them. They only had great things to say. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!
My friend used Upstyle for her wedding last year, and she and her bridesmaids looked so good that i decided to splurge and use them as well. I have never regretted anything less — I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and my wedding photos turned out flawlessly. I truly can’t thank Abbie and iris enough!
Upstyle delivered on making all my bridal hair and makeup needs come true! As a business, they were extremely easy to work with from start to finish! I live in California and my wedding was in Rhode Island, so I was nervous about how I would be able to fit in a trial and figure out logistics for a lot of my vendors. Brittany, the co-owner, and Jordan, the bridal coordinator, made communication seamless and helped my book a trial with what was convenient from when I would be on the East Coast. They also helped me select good fits for hair and makeup artists. I worked with Sophie and Autumn. They were so sweet and were so dynamic with accommodating the styles of my bridal party and mother/mother in law. My final look was so glowy and natural and looked great all night!
I had the BEST experience with Upstyle. I was looking for a company that offered both hair and makeup services and came across Upstyle. I was looking for a company that really emphasized a more natural look and loved what Upstyle had on their Instagram. I live in Montana and was unable to do a trial until the week before my wedding, which meant I really relied on the photos of their previous work and put my trust in them! Brittany and Jessica were so helpful via email with scheduling and were so flexible when it came to my large bridal party with a 11:30 am ready time! They helped figure out the schedule to make sure there were enough stylists/artists for all 11 of us. Everything went perfectly and I can’t thank Emily, Savannah, Alison and Rebecca enough for such calming, kind and friendly presences the morning of! I don’t typically wear a lot of makeup or do much with my hair and it was important to me that I felt like myself day of but elevated with a minimalistic, natural glamour-which is the best way I could describe how I looked the day of. These ladies made me feel the best I’ve ever felt and I can’t imagine the day without them. I highly recommend working with all of the ladies at Upstyle!
Upstyle is truly the DREAM team for hair and makeup!! I couldn't have been happier with how both my trial and wedding day looks came out. I had Jessie for hair and Erika for makeup and not only are they both so sweet, they also really wanted to make sure what they were creating was exactly what I wanted (which it was)! Also all of my bridesmaids were super happy how their hair and makeup turned out as well. Everyone looks gorgeous! Highly recommend hiring Upstyle as your HMU vendor!!
I was drawn to Upstyle because they specialize in natural looking makeup. Mikayla (makeup) and Emily (hair) were so kind and easygoing and fun and extremely extremely talented! I would recommend them with my whole heart. Emily incorporated some last minute changes to my hair and really rolled with it. It was absolutely perfect. I never wear makeup and I felt like I was glowing the whole night. (I know some of that glow was sweat towards the end but still my makeup and hair were perfect) I felt like the best version of myself, but not overly done up. I would recommend them again and again and feel so lucky that they were able to work with me on such a special day.
I absolutely loved working with Upstyle. They made everything so easy from the booking process to Wedding day an absolute breeze. During my trial, Jessie and Katia really took their time to understand my vision and explain to me how we can best achieve that. And on the big day, they both helped me to feel so comfortable and confident. Our sisters and our moms were overjoyed with their looks and it really helped to make everyone feel so special on the day.
I can not recommend Upstyle enough!
Upstyle was one of the first vendors I booked after solidifying our venue (Saltwater Farm Vineyard), and I am SO glad that I did!! I had seen Upstyle’s work on social media, and was immediately drawn to their classy, glowy, and elevated natural beauty aesthetic.
Upstyle’s team helped my ten bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and me all to feel beautiful and confident on the wedding day. Our head makeup artist was Erika. I was absolutely blown away with my makeup. I don’t wear a ton of makeup day-to-day, and Erika simply nailed the “elevated natural beauty” vibe that I was going for. I felt like myself but a super beautiful version of myself. My makeup stayed looking great for a full day (Catholic mass, photos, reception, after party). My girls also raved about how great they felt and looked.
Our head hair stylist Emily who also did an absolutely stellar job. She crushed the chic, timeless “Hailey Bieber” bun that I was going for. I loved how my hair came out, and it stayed put all day despite some heavy wind! Emily also nailed my girls’ visions as well, from half-up / half-down looks to party ponies to textured buns.
Erika and Emily were both warm, friendly, and patient working with me and my girls. I can’t thank them enough for helping us to all look and feel our best on my wedding day!
Shadelin did my makeup and Meghan did my hair - both turned out absolutely beautiful. The trial was very straightforward and easy. They nailed it the first time around, so the day of was relaxing and peaceful as I knew exactly what to expect. They also did a great job with my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law.
The makeup look I wanted: natural, fresh, rosy, subtle, well-rested. That's exactly what I got. They really nailed it, I felt so beautiful and the makeup stayed put all night.
My bridesmaids also kept commenting that they really loved how they looked - they weren't overdone and every person shined in her own natural way! My mom was a little nervous about having her makeup done (would it be too heavy, etc) and she looked awesome.
The Upstyle team is also just so friendly and easy to work with. You will be so happy if you hire them! Do it!
The Upstyle Co. team truly made me feel like a princess on my wedding day! They were commited to helping me find my look and were flexible in scheduling a second trial to perfect everything. We were not only impressed by how beautiful every looked, but by how passioante and professional everyone was, both throughout the planning process and the day of.
Choosing Upstyle Co. for my wedding hair & makeup team was THE BEST decision. They were one of my absolute favorite vendors of the day. I was lucky enough to work with Sophie and Savannah, who are truly two of the kindest and most talented hair and makeup artists. From the moment I sat down with them during my trial session, I felt so comfortable and confident that they really took the time to understand my vision for my wedding. I was blown away by my trial, and again when they were able to recreate it perfectly on my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids and my Mom loved how their hair/makeup turned out, and it was such a fun morning getting ready at our Airbnb. The entire planning & booking process, from my initial outreach to the day of my wedding was flawless and so simple with Upstyle Co. I highly highly recommend the Upstyle team to anyone looking for hair and/or makeup vendors!
Loved working with Upstyle Co. for my wedding and highly recommend!! The hair and makeup trial process was very easy and smooth sailing (especially for me who does not normally wear a lot of makeup and can't do my own hair). I worked with Rachel and Jess who were both very friendly, kind and a pleasure to work with! I was so thankful they were able to travel up to my venue for my special day and all of my wedding party’s hair and makeup turned out phenomenal. So appreciative of Upstyle and the talent they hire like Jess & Rachel!!!
Jess and Sophie of Upstyle were truly SO incredible to work with for my wedding. They were prompt, professional, easy-going, and just all-around fantastic. They really listened to us and brought the most zen, chill vibes, putting everyone at ease immediately! All 8 of us LOVED both our hair and makeup and we cannot recommend them highly enough! They made us look and feel our best on my big day, and I only wish I could do it all again!!! Thank you guys so much!!
Upstyle is truly the best in class. Jessie and Rachel perfectly captured what I was looking for which was "natural but better." I felt stunning and just like myself. They both checked in with me when I sat down day of and were so pleasant to be around. All of my bridesmaids, my mother, and mother in law loved how they looked too! Upstyle came highly recommended by a friend when she was a bridesmaid in another wedding and Upstyle absolutely delivered!
I had Upstyle do hair and makeup for my wedding back in October and they were amazing. I was so anxious about my hair and makeup (what bride isn't) and I even had a hard time voicing what I wanted. They were able to help me figure out what I wanted with so much professionalism and patience. They nailed my look and all my bridesmaids looks. Everyone looked SO beautiful and loved the team. Raechel did my makeup and Emily did my hair. I never felt more beautiful!
12/10 experience!! I hired Mikayla for makeup + Jesse for hair. Upstyle's entire team of stylists/artists are SO talented, professional and kind. At my trial, they asked about allergies, how I want to feel on my wedding day and they nailed my look on the first try -- I can't get over how thorough yet efficient they are! Day-of, they were on time, ahead of schedule, professional, warm and accommodating. Almost half of your big day is getting ready, so having the right crew with you is so important -- Upstyle is it!! They made me, my mom and my girls feel so glamorous and taken care of. I can't thank them enough for making me feel so beautiful and special!
The girls at Upstyle were amazing. From the multiple individuals I worked with from booking to trials to wedding day, everyone was so nice. By offering the option to travel (Hudson Valley), I was able to have an amazing team of hair stylists and makeup artists that I trusted for my bridal party. We had Jessie and Kayla for hair and Rachel and Autumn for makeup for a bridal party of 12. They stayed on time (even ahead of schedule) and ensured that each girl loved the way they looked. They were super easy to work with day of and brought all equipment that they needed. Upstyle provided us with the perfect natural looks that we were going for and I would utilize them again the future if needed!
I am so glad that I found Upstyle for my wedding! I don't normally wear a lot of makeup along with most of my bridal party, so I knew I wanted a vendor that was focused on more natural looks but still left you feeling special.
Needless to say, I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day - between my hair (thanks to Megan) and makeup (thanks to Katia), everything was perfect. I didn't want to take any of it off!! I ended up doing 2 trials with Megan beforehand at their studio (which is SUPER cute). She was so sweet and patient during the entire process, making sure I was truly comfortable and happy with my hair selection.
From the moment they arrived onsite the morning of the wedding, they felt like part of our bridal party - jamming away to the playlist we had going and adding to our conversations. They helped keep the mood relaxing and were great at bringing everyone's hair/makeup visions to life!
By the end of the night, I expected my hair to be falling out from all of the dancing & fun we had - but it was as if I had just gotten it done - still in pristine condition. Same with my makeup!
These two definitely know what they are doing and care deeply about ensuring that it's going to be perfect and last all night. I would hire Megan & Katia again in a heartbeat - I wish they could do my hair/makeup for every wedding I have coming up!!!
Megan (hair) and Mikayla (make up) were so amazing on my wedding day! I accidentally overslept that morning…my alarm didn't go off and the phone in our hotel room wasn't working, so the girls got into the room almost an hour after they were scheduled to! Regardless of the delay, they kept all 9 of us right on time. Mikayla came to the venue with us for touch ups, but our hair and makeup lasted all day. Me and my bridesmaids were so happy with the natural look they achieved, and our husbands were happy that we still looked like ourselves! During the trial, the girls were very receptive to feedback and special requests - I recently found out that I have a soy allergy, and they checked every product to make sure it was safe for me. Megan, Mikayla, and the whole Upstyle crew were so amazing throughout the booking process and leading up to my day. Definitely would book them again!
I worked with Jessie (hair) and Katia (makeup) for my wedding and I seriously could not have asked for a better team. They are two of the sweetest humans I have ever met and made me feel so comfortable. My mom and bridal party could not stop gushing about them and their talent. The girls all said it was the best hair and makeup experience they had ever had. It’s clear how much they love what they do and I think that makes a world of difference! As someone who normally doesn’t wear makeup or heavily style their hair, they both gave me exactly what I was looking for while also maintaining a more ‘natural’ look. Everything held up so well during the long and hot day! I cannot recommend them enough!
I loved working with the girls at Upstyle for my wedding makeup! Brittany and Jessica make the booking process super easy! They are able to whip up schedules super fast and were so accommodating when just before my wedding, i realized we'd be way better off with an additional stylist to meet the early ceremony time. They were able to confirm the additional stylist and sort the contract so quick! On the day of our wedding, I worked with Rebecca and Kayla. I cannot say enough good things about both of them! They truly listened to me and each one of my girls. They made us all look so gorgeous. I loved spending extra time with Rebecca during my hair trial - she is a wonderful person and i felt like we just clicked! I absolutely loved my experience with the team and would absolutely book them again!
Autumn and Megan absolutely killed my wedding beauty look!!!! I got married on 10.23 and they were incredible to work with. My hair and makeup looked like me but way better ;) I didn’t feel overly done up or not like myself which was my exact goal. They were so sweet to work with and really took pride in their work. My bridesmaids loved how their hair and makeup turned out as well. Highly recommend!
Bianca and Autumn were awesome!
Bianca is truly amazing at what she does. My hair was a dream come true! It came out exactly as I pictured it and stayed put all night. All the bridesmaids picked their own styles and loved how their hair came out as well.
I never wear a lot of makeup so I was nervous about how my makeup would look on my wedding day. Autumn did an amazing job with the natural look that I was going for. I didn't look like a completely different person, but she brought out my natural beauty and it looked amazing in photos!
These girls are so talented and made me and my bridal party feel so beautiful! Thank you Bianca & Autumn!
So beyond pleased with the hair & makeup services received from Upstyle for our wedding. They were so wonderful to work with and flexible when we decided to postpone a year due to the pandemic. Brit & Jess made the whole bridal party feel comfortable and beautiful. They are truly gifted in bringing out your natural beauty, and nailed every single look. Could not recommend them enough!
I highly recommend Upstyle to anyone doing their wedding make up. I never had a good experience getting my makeup professionally done until Autumn did my make up with Upstyle. She listened to my concerns and helped me craft a look that felt glam and natural at the same time. We made adjustments based on my trial and I absolutely loved the wedding look we created. She was also super flexible about the wedding party's make up schedule and did great make up on my family and friends as well! Highly recommend Upstyle for a great wedding look with prices that are very affordable for the quality and attention you get!
Upstyle was amazing to work with. I purchased a package with Mikayla and Sophie and they absolutely blew me away with how beautiful they made us look and feel. They were prompt, ahead of schedule and stayed until the photographer got there just to get the details shot.
The makeup was flawless, exactly what I had wanted; natural glam. And hair was just as amazing, we all picked different styles with different curls and they all still blended and looked cohesive.
I had a lot of last minute schedule changes and they were so accommodating each and every time. Couldn’t recommend more!
Jessica did the makeup for our wedding on 6/12/21 and I cannot recommend her enough! I did a trial last fall and knew that my bridal party and I would be in good hands on the wedding day. She and her team are so easy to work with and really made the morning of the wedding relaxing and fun. She was accommodating to some last minute changes and made everything very stress-free. Thank you for everything!
Brittany and her team did an awesome job for our wedding on 6/5/21. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with - which is so important considering these are usually the first vendors you encounter on your wedding day! Their friendliness, positivity and easy going attitudes set the perfect vibe for the day :) They were efficient and had us ready and gorgeous in plenty of time. They also listened to each of our needs and delivered on beautiful and natural looks that suited each individual.
I had Katia and Lindsay do makeup and hair on my wedding day! They were AMAZING! I wanted to feel like an elevated version of myself and they absolutely did that. During my trial they asked about the vision I was going for, looked at inspo pictures I brought in and then knocked it out of the park. On my wedding day they both looked back at my trial pictures and noticed a few details in pictures they thought would enhance my look. I'm so thankful for this duo of kind, professional, and talented ladies!
These girls are the real deal. Professional, kind, genuine, funny, and relaxed — the exact vibes you want on your wedding day when there are so many variables at play. I never once worried about them being on time, or whether or not I would like my look. I wanted whimsical, boho, classic, effortless, and elegant — and they delivered that and so much more! I sent the Upstyle gals a few inspiration photos that described the overall look and feeling of my wedding day before the trial and they immediately nailed my vision in one try. Even more importantly, they helped make my “getting ready” process so relaxing and enjoyable. We listened to chill music, took deep breaths, and I felt so grounded, present, and had so much fun getting ready with these gals by my side. As someone who is easily prone to anxiety, you couldn’t ask for a more relaxed and genuine crew to pamper you on your big day. My mother had never had her hair and makeup professionally styled, and the Upstyle girls took their time to insure she was comfortable and completely happy with her look. She looked absolutely radiant and so young and beautiful, and is so happy with the photos.
One of my favorite moments was the first look with my husband. Like many guys, he prefers a simpler look with little to no makeup and was worried that I might not look like myself on our big day. The moment he saw me he said with a big smile on his face, “You look like YOU.” We both visibly relaxed and our photos came out better than I ever could have imagined.
I can’t thank Britt & Jess enough for their love, care, and talent. They have my highest recommendation and full confidence to deliver the wedding look & vibe of your dreams.
This group of women are something special. I contacted Upstyle just one month before my wedding when I ran into issues with my current artist, and they made. it. happen. I feel so lucky that Upstyle stepped in and made made me feel so beautiful for my day. I highly recommend Rebecca T.- she took care of our whole group and was the most calm and relaxing personality. She is lovely!!!!
I knew from the moment I started following Jess and Brittany on Instagram that I wanted them to be apart of my wedding someday. So I was thrilled when that became a reality this last October! The two of them traveled all the way to Aruba to prep me and my girls on my wedding day. Aside from nailing the exact look I was going for- they also made the rest of my bridesmaids (and my mom) feel and look gorgeous! Aside from being extremely talented, they are also so fun to be around and got along with all of us so well! It felt like I had two extra friends hanging out with us for the day. I can’t say enough good things about the work they do. Planning a destination wedding can be very nerve racking since most of the planning is done from afar, but booking Upstyle to come along was one of the easiest decisions I made!
Rebecca and Upstyle were amazing! Each of my bridesmaids looked fantastic and got exactly what they envisioned for their hair. Rebecca gave me a such an elegant look and made me feel so beautiful. So grateful I had her for my special day! I can’t recommend them highly enough! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Choosing a hair and makeup stylist was one of the more difficult decisions I made. When finding Upstyle I loved how natural and simple they were, and gosh I am so glad I hired them! Brittany and Jess were so accommodating and awesome to deal with when booking.
Megan and Rebecca T. were absolutely amazing from my trial to the day of the wedding! Being someone who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup on the regular I was looking for something simple and natural. Rebecca nailed it, my make up was so perfect and lasted all night. Rebecca chose an awesome lipstick which I went out and immediately bought and now wear all the time! When it came to my hair I had originally seen a photo on upstyles Instagram and fell in love, their styles are so elegant and soft. Megan was able to replicate the style and it was absolutely beautiful. I’m so thankful for Megan who even stuck around to help with my veil after I had gotten dressed. We had a blast getting ready with Megan and Rebecca, they were so much fun to hang out with and were great at easing my nerves! Forever grateful that they were apart of my day!
For my wedding I was looking for natural, effortless makeup and found that in Upstyle! I don’t go heavy with my makeup normally, and wanted to be sure I still looked like myself still on my wedding day. Analisa was absolutely amazing and delivered the perfect look. She remembered everything we discussed at my trial so everything was just right and it lasted all night. Not all of my girls like their makeup just like I do, and Analisa was able to tailor each girl’s look.
Analisa (and the broader team) were very professional, but also super down-to-earth and fit right in with my crew on the wedding day. Overall I had a great experience!
Brittany and Jessica are easily two of the most talented hair and make up artists I have ever worked with. I am incredibly particular about my make up, rarely letting anyone else touch it, but with Jessica I had no fears at all. In fact, I love the lipstick color she chose for me so much I use it as my go-to now. My hair is also the absolute worst to style. It never holds a curl, it never stays in place, and it really only does one thing - but not with Brittany. She gave me the most gorgeous updo that lasted the entire night. Not only did they do an absolutely phenomenal job with my hair and make up, my bridesmaids could not say enough positive things about them as well. As if that wasn't enough, my mother, who NEVER wears make up and has been wearing her hair the same way since i was 8, was so thrilled with her look she nearly cried. All the women in my life are extremely diverse, and Brittany and Jessica listened to all of their wants and needs and brought out their uniqueness in the most gorgeous ways. Beyond their obvious talent, they are also the most down to earth, humble girls. They were such a calming presence the day of the wedding, sharing in laughs and smiles. It honeslty felt like I've known them for years. I would recommend 10 times over and can promise you will not be disappointed in any way.
Upstyle was easily one of the best choices I made for my wedding!! Katia and Sammie made myself and my entire bridal party look amazing and they were both so sweet and calming. I’m very particular about my makeup and I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. All of our hair and makeup lasted through the whole night despite oppressive humidity. If you want to look like an enhanced version of yourself then you should definitely go with Upstyle. Thank you again!!
I highly recommend Lindsay as your bridal hairstylist. Lindsay does the most beautiful soft hairstyles. She tailors each look to your preference, can replicate any image and will offer suggestions if you have no idea what you want. All of my bridesmaids and I were beyond happy with our looks. I knew she would do a superb job but I never expected to look that beautiful! Also, she is so much fun! She keeps you and your girls smiling and the atmosphere loose as you get ready for your big day (while also keeping you on time/ahead of schedule).
Rebecca is amazing- she really listens to what you’d like. The makeup is flawless and light making you feel beautiful and natural. I actually went to bed with my makeup on (too much fun at my wedding) and when I woke up I didn’t have the typical crusty feeling on my face I usually get with my own makeup, and it actually still looked good. Rebecca is so nice, she and Lindsay really make the getting ready phase of your big day fun and relaxing!
Upstyle was an absolute dream for my wedding this past June. The entire team is so professional, easy to work with, and they truly radiate all the good vibes. I worked specifically with Lindsay (hair) and Sammie (makeup) on our wedding day. I was hesitant to even get my makeup done professionally, because I never like how anyone does it. I never look like myself and it’s always too much. Scrolling Instagram to find a makeup artist for my bridesmaids, I came across Upstyle and fell in love with their aesthetic (how could you not?). It was the first time that I even thought I could potentially want to have my own makeup done. I instantly booked them for hair and makeup. Sammie was my makeup artist, and she immediately got my vision at our trial. I was so relieved and excited. She is also the absolute sweetest gal. I live in Brooklyn, and got married in Old Lyme, CT – and didn’t have time to travel back for a separate hair trial but from Lindsay’s (gorgeous!) work, I knew that she would be perfect. Spoiler alert, she was. On my wedding day, Sammie and Lindsay were so much fun, super flexible and were just great energy to have around. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and couldn’t have been happier with their looks. I still get told how perfect Sammie and Lindsay were. As for myself, I could not have loved my wedding look more. It was exactly what I wanted and I would book them a million times over if I could. Upstyle was hands-down one of the best decisions I made during my wedding process. Do not hesitate to work with them!
I used Upstyle Co. for my wedding this September and cannot be happier with the results! Brittany and Jessica made booking and coordinating the day-of hair/makeup schedule super easy. I absolutely LOVED Rebecca M. and Rebecca T. who did hair and makeup for 9 us! Everyone's looked amazing and we were finished ahead of schedule. I cannot recommend them enough for a more natural, boho look on your wedding day!
I was looking for a makeup artist to do makeup for myself, my four bridesmaids, mom, step-mom and mother of the groom. From the first form of communication with Jessica and Brittany being flexible based on my work schedule to helping manage my makeup trial with Evie, I felt so relaxed trusting that these ladies would not let me down. Evie did our makeup on the day of my wedding and she came prepped and ready to go, stuck to the timeline and made us feel so much less nervous about the day with her sweet conversations. Everyone I spoke to at Upstyle is so professional and organized, and the makeup application looked so flawless and natural on all of the ladies (Evie was flexible and helped make changes if we were unsure of something). I'd recommend Upstyle a hundred times to anyone getting married in the area!
What can I say that hasn't already been said?! Working with Upstyle was the greatest gift. My girls and I were in the best hands with Brittany and Jessica. They made us all feel confident and beautiful for the entire day and night. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are two of the kindest and most wonderful women I've ever met. I am so thankful to have met them through this process. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a natural, ethereal glow on their wedding day. THANK YOU, UPSTYLE! XO.
I discovered Upstyle through a recommendation from our photographer and followed their work on Instagram. I loved everything I saw so I reached out to them and they were so easy to work with! I even asked them for a recommendation for a new place to start cutting and coloring my hair and they gave me an awesome list of places they use themselves. Their recommendation was perfect and I’m obsessed with the new place I found thanks to them.
For my ceremony Upstyle paired me up with Lindsay. She honestly couldn’t be any better at her job or a cooler person to work with! I met Lindsay at my hair and makeup trial, we sat down and talked about everything I wanted. She was so fun to talk to and hang out with while getting my hair and makeup done and when I saw the final product I was blown away. It was honestly the most perfect hair style I have ever seen. I did a mostly messy updo with pieces framing my face. I could not believe she made my hair look so much like princess hair. We were both obsessed.
The day of the wedding she came in ready to work and ready to have fun and all the girls loved her as much as I did! She manages to be so easy going while being so good at her job. She made my hair perfect while we caught up on our summers. I recommend you work with Upstyle and especially recommend you ask for Lindsay because I can’t imagine anyone better! I am so thankful to her for being the absolute best!
Brittany was my hair stylist for my wedding and I could not have been happier! I have had my hair professionally done many times as a bridesmaid and I was honestly never comfortable with any of the results so I was very nervous going into finding a hair stylist for my own big day. My hair is curly, wavy, straight, fine, and abundant all at once. I knew I wanted something sophisticated but soft and airy, that would last through August heat, the nighttime breeze, and plenty of dancing without looking like it had been cemented in place. Brittany listened to all of my concerns and aspirations at the trial, which she then perfected on the day of. With her talent she also brings an effervescent personality and a really killer music list. I loved my hair for every minute that it was styled (which was over 16 hours)! I will recommend Brittany and UpStyle to every bride-to-be I meet for the rest of my life!
So grateful for Katia and Lindsey, the amazing duo from Upstyle Hair & Makeup Co. They felt like part of our girl gang on wedding day. With their talent and positive energy, we all felt so comfortable in their hands. They did a fabulous job—making us feel enhanced but not transformed which is exactly what I was hoping for. We all felt comfortable giving them an idea of what looks we liked and trusting their expertise to just go for it. So professional, so talented, and just really cool people!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Upstyle and their AMAZINGLY talented team for making not only me, but my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I was one of the last of my friends to get married and after some bad experiences with over teased, stiff hair I made sure to do my research when picking my hair and makeup team. I looked at several different places in CT and when I saw their work on Instagram I knew I had found my team. I worked with Rebecca & Rebecca for my wedding day. Not only were they kind and patient but they were so so so talented. Everyone absolutely loved their hair (how often does the happen?? There is always 1!) Rebecca Hair accomplished the soft, flowy, tousled look which gave us natural, effortless looking hair that lasted the entire night without the excessive teasing and hairspray. Seriously- it looked like hair you’d see in a professional bridal magazine. Rebecca Makeup made us runway ready (literally because she used to do makeup for runway models in NYC) while making sure we still looked natural (none of that gaudy- overdone wedding makeup). Thank you so much for making my day fun and stress free and being the best team ever. I wish I could hire you to get me ready everyday! There is no doubt this is the best hair and make up team in CT.
I am the pickiest person EVER (when it comes to my hair especially), and I could not have been any happier with Upstyle. I cannot say enough good things about Sammie and Lindsay. All of my girls were so happy with how their makeup came out with Sammie. My wedding day ended up being the hottest day of the summer and Sammie called an audible and decided not to do airbrush makeup because of the heat and our makeup lasted the whole night looking perfect. Even through all of the sweat, my makeup didn't move an inch and everyone kept commenting how it didn't look like I was sweating at all. Lindsay was amaaaazing with our hair. She made all of my girls' braid dreams come true. For my hair, I knew I wanted it a little bit different than the trial, but I wasn't sure how to tell her what I wanted and she somehow did it?! My hair was incredible. I have never liked how my hair has turned out for prom or any of the weddings I've been in, and I absolutely LOVED it. I honestly couldn't believe it. I stressed over how my hair and makeup would turn out for months and these girls truly made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day-what more could you ask for? THANK YOU Sammie and Lindsay <3 So much love for you girls :) I HIGHLY recommend Upstyle!
I had the pleasure of working with UpStyle for my wedding hair and makeup. Rebecca and Rebecca did an amazing job. My bridesmaids and I looked like effortless beauties. Our hair and makeup lasted perfectly through the crazy heat! I also had the pleasure of meeting Brittany and Jessica by email and at my initial consultation. They are very easy to work with and nice. Thank you so much!!
