Jen was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was patient and kind through the Covid rescheduling and with all the needs of each member of the bridal party. Her team made the day ...
easy. Everyone got exactly what they wanted. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Jen from Whole You Beauty Studio was an absolute joy to work with for my 11.27.2021 wedding. She did the bridal hair for me and my maids of honor. Prior to the big day, Jen was ver...
y responsive and timely with her emails. Jen was also extremely prompt on the day of the wedding. She had a schedule and we stuck to it. My mom and maids of honor all commented on how easy and efficient she made the whole process. All of our hair looked fantastic too! Whatever someone wanted, she could do. I highly recommend Jen at Whole You Beauty Studio for you wedding day. She's awesome and you will definitely feel like the most beautiful bride with her help! :)
I can't say enough great things about Jennifer and Whole You Beauty. She made things easy and straightforward when setting up the logistics of hair and makeup for my bridesmaids an...
d MOB/MOG at an Airbnb before our wedding (and I'm a no-fuss, type-A bride, so I appreciated how organized and prepared Jennifer was sending the information we needed and getting us in her busy schedule). Jennifer was such a calming presence to have around on the morning of my wedding day as well. She helped me remember to breathe as my nerves began acting up! I and all of my girls loved our hair and makeup--and it all stayed up well, all day/night long!
Jennifer did an amazing job! I have very long, thick hair that is difficult to tame and have it feel secure, but she did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted, providing optio...
ns, and checking in through the trial process, then again on our actual wedding day to make sure that my hair was exactly how I wanted it! It felt so secure so that I knew I could dance the night away without anything falling out, but did not feel stiff. Two of my bridesmaids have very short hair and were dubious that they would be able to get an updo, but were happy that Jennifer was able to make it happen and they all looked and felt beautiful! I never wear makeup but wanted to wear some on my wedding day and again, Jennifer did a wonderful job at my trial to figure out what I liked and felt comfortable wearing. Her colleague did my makeup on the day of the wedding and was able to seamlessly pick up what Jennifer had done in the trial. My mom was also very nervous about having her makeup done and Jennifer's colleague was able to give her a lovely natural look that made her feel beautiful, but still like herself! We would highly recommend Whole You Beauty Studio!
Jen and her team were absolutely wonderful for my wedding day. They did both our hair and makeup and were on time, professional, fun and listened to our every request. I did my mak...
eup and hair trial with Jen and she was a blast. She also is so calming and made me feel really good about the days leading up to my wedding. The day of, i wanted to change a few things about my hair and she was so patient with me. She also brought a speaker and played music for us while getting ready! She and her crew were so timely and made sure to do touch ups for all of us at the end. They also didn't rush out of the room they hung around for some getting ready pictures and were so genuine. I chose Jen because of the obvious- her work is amazing. Just check out her Instagram and you will see how naturally beautiful she makes everyone look and feel. My bridal party all agreed it was the best we have ever felt in professional hair and makeup. I would recommend using Whole You Beauty to any bride!
Believe me when I say there is *no one* out there like Jen- she is a top notch one of a kind artist! She is so talented and professional- the entire planning process was so easy. M...
y 11 person bridal party looked absolutely flawless on my wedding day and they were thrilled with their individualized looks. Jen listened to every idea we had and offered her expertise throughout the whole process. I cant recommend her enough!!!
Jen is absolutely amazing - from the moment I met her at my hair and makeup trial, we just immediately clicked. Jen is the most calming, sweet, and understanding presence and I am ...
so grateful for that! On my actual day, she brought along Courtney to do makeup while she did hair and Courtney was also fabulous! Myself and my maids received so many compliments on our looks. Do not hesitate to book Jen/Whole You - you will not regret it!
Look no further and book Jen for your wedding! Not only is Jen incredibly talented, she is patient, fun, calm, and she loves what she does! She made sure I was happy with everythin...
g both at my trial and on my wedding day. She and Rachel did such an incredible job and everyone, I mean EVERYONE loved how their hair and makeup came out! She is fantastic and I highly recommend her for your wedding or honestly any event!!
I’ve been seeing Jen for years, so when it was time to plan my wedding, I knew right away that I wanted her to be a part of it! The whole process was totally seamless. Even during ...
COVID, she was extremely supportive, communicative, and patient. I had a pretty clear idea about what hairstyle I was looking for, but Jen put her own spin on it and executed a style that was above and beyond what I ever imagined! I have curly hair that can of course have a mind of its own, and it was important to me to feel like myself on my wedding day. Thanks to Jen, my hair ended up looking like the best possible version of itself, and I felt so beautiful and comfortable all day! I was a bundle of nerves when Jen showed up that morning, but she immediately put me at ease. Before she even started on my hair, she reached for the lavender oil I had brought and did a mini aromatherapy session and shoulder massage (which she specializes in at her studio!) to calm me down. She also worked on my mom, mother-in-law, maid of honor, and bridesmaid, and everyone was thrilled with their hair. She was so professional and efficient and even ran ahead of schedule! Jen is an expert at what she does and she’s kind, warm, and thoughtful. I’m so thankful to know her, and I’m endlessly grateful that she was there on my wedding day!
Jen and her team did an amazing job!! My hair looked beautiful on the day of my wedding and she kept everyone calm and moving. We had 14 people getting hair and makeup and she was ...
so accommodating, taking on my aunts as they requested last mute to get their hair done. I got so many compliments throughout the night. I highly recommend Jen!!!
I feel bad as I am just now getting around to writing this review however I couldn't think of a better time than now especially when so many brides are dealing with the sadness and...
stress of re-planning their weddings. Let me start of by saying that although I wouldn't consider myself a bride-zilla in the traditional sense, I was definitely a bride-zilla when it came to punctuality and planning and I was constantly in a state of panic. Shannon, Jennifer, and Jaclyn are nothing short of a dream-team. My wedding was in October however I had started a relationship with the girls about 6 months prior to that when I started going to the studio to get my hair colored and styled by Shannon. She became not only my stylist but a great confidante and friend listening to my problems whether it be work, family, wedding, etc. I quickly became close with both Jaclyn and Jennifer as they stepped in at the last minute to do my hair and make-up for my bridal shower. Not only did the finished product look stunning but my mood was significantly lighter after having talked to them all morning about my nerves going into the Shower day. The day of the wedding the girls could not have been more accommodating to my family. There were multiple changes to the plan (I even had forgotten to put my own mom down for hair if you can believe that) and they were there until the very last minute touching up my make-up and hair and teaching my little sister how to remove my veil. Although they were there working it actually truly felt like they were part of my close friends and family. My mom had lost her mom several years ago and we had reflected so many times on how much we had wished that she were there for my wedding. While Jaclyn was doing my mom's make-up they were able to connect about Nana and the story that Jaclyn told my mom still resonates with her to this day and in fact yesterday on Mother's Day not only was my mom raving about how beautiful everyone's hair and make-up looked but she was telling the story of the beautiful moment she and Jaclyn were able to share that morning. For all the brides that are struggling with the stress and anxiety of having to reschedule their special day I could not recommend Jennifer and her team more. They are punctual, organized, professional, and all of their work is absolutely beautiful and thoughtful. Aside from their attributes as a business they are not only master's of their art but they are great friends and a calming, positive and supportive energy that all brides should be so lucky to experience. Even though I live in Boston now and will likely have to relocate for my husband's job in the future, I will continue to come to Whole You Beauty regardless as it would be hard to find another place as special to my heart as them. Thanks again girls xx
Jen is so incredibly talented! She was so patient with me to get my look just right during my hair/makeup trial as well as on my wedding day. She was so helpful in calming my nerve...
s and was a wonderful presence on such an important day! Her team was absolutely fantastic and my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and were so pleased with their updos!
Jen has been my stylist for over 10 years so when I got engaged, I was thrilled to ask her to take care of me on my wedding day. The whole process of booking was super easy and str...
aightforward and Jen was very attentive answering any and all of my questions. The trial was so fun! I showed some of the ideas that I had of what I wanted my finished look to be and Jen put her own spin on it, checking every step of the way for any changes / adjustments that I wanted to make. Leading up to the big day Jen provided me with a schedule for everyone and was extremely patient when I had bride brain and couldn't formulate coherent thoughts. The day of was perfect. Jen, Shannon and Jaclyn came to Boston to our site and made me and all of my ladies super comfortable and feel absolutely glamorous! For me personally as the bride, Jen was fantastic in helping me feel calm as day-of stressors unfolded. I absolutely loved my final look as well as everyone else's and could not recommend Whole You Beauty highly enough. Thank you for being a part of my special day!
Working with Jen and her team of girls was nothing short of amazing! As a girl who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, finding a makeup artist and the perfect look could have been diffic...
ult. Jen was so patient, flexible, and understanding that it made it such a breeze! After many trials, I can honestly say that I felt like my most beautiful self on my wedding day... all thanks to her! Jen, Jaclyn, and Shannon made my bridesmaids and mother look amazing as well! Our hair and makeup looked perfect through a very hot and sweaty August day. I have nothing but great things to say about the Whole You Beauty crew and would definitely recommend them to other bridal parties!
Jen was incredible, all I had to do was show her a photo of what I wanted and described how to make it more my style and she executed my vision perfectly. She is super friendly and...
wonderful to be around, she even made my mom look and feel like a rockstar. I highly recommend Whole You Beauty Studio if you want to look and feel your best on that special day!
Right from the very first email correspondence that I had with Jen, I knew that Whole You Beauty Studio was going to be the perfect fit for my big day. Jen was super quick to resp...
ond and eager to answer any of the (many) questions that I had. Leading up to the wedding, I stopped in the studio for a facial in order to get to know the staff better and gain some more comfort in the team that would play such a big role in my day. That led me to Jaclyn, whom I also fell in love with instantly. Her spirit and kindness sealed the deal for me even more (not to mention the facial was fantastic!). For my hair and makeup trial I had my very picky mother with me to have her own trial, and I swear my mother talked about the girls at Whole You Beauty almost every day - she was thrilled with their work and them as a whole (she even came all the back from NH for a pre-wedding lash lift!). On the wedding day I felt totally calm and relaxed. Jen provided me with a detailed hair and makeup schedule that fit perfectly with what I wanted and what fit best with my overall schedule for the day. They made each of my girls feel and look beautiful - our hair and makeup even survived through an unexpected hail storm while in the park taking pictures. Every time I look at one of my wedding photos I can't help but think of how grateful I am to have stumbled across Jen and Jaclyn on theknot. They really made my wedding dreams come true! I already have hair appointments set up in the future and will be a client for life!
There is a time when we think about our (possible) wedding days. Will we have one? If so, who will the lucky person be, what will it look like, where will it be- I could go on.
“T...
he Wedding Day” goes from an abstract concept, to an all consuming mission. It’s a day that symbolizes and celebrates the union between you and your partner.
That being said- one of the biggest and most exciting aspects of your big day is undoubtedly: how will I look???!?!
What will the dress be-will it even be a dress?! Veil/headpiece, shoes, jewelry, make-up and.... HAIR???!!!
The stylist I put in charge of hair, was the easiest question I had to answer. I started seeing Jen when I was 20yrs old, and 14yrs later, we were planning a wedding look.
I knew I wanted to have a whimsical updo with volume, modest height, twists, turns... All the things. The only issue; I have stringy thin hair that has never grown (well) passed the middle of my neck.
This was NEVER a concern for Jen. She planned out the perfect tone of blonde, that maximized dimension and planned to use extensions to achieve the "oomph" factor. Extensions that she hand dyed, to match perfectly.
We planned out the most perfect look during my hair trials. All while laughing and reminiscing over the years I had been going to see her; knowing this day would eventually come.
On the big day, she was one of the most calming factors for me in a hotel suite filled with family, bridesmaids, 90’s hip hop and anticipation. She came prepared with a schedule of what bridesmaid was assigned to which stylist (and at what time slot) and got down to it!... Did I mention I had 11 bridesmaids?
The “why” is a whole other conversation- but Jen and her colleague managed to make every single bridesmaid feel like they were a model, looking absolutely fierce!
My hair... Well, it was perfection. The height, the twists the turns, the volume... ALL THE THINGS. I got compliments on my hair all night (which continues to this day whenever anyone sees pictures of the day). Jen managed to create a look that I will never forget.
I can’t imagine that day without her.
And although I could never reciprocate the gift she gave me, I can write this little blurb giving Jen one hell of a shout out. As well as let YOU know, the Bride to Be... there is no need to look any further. You have found the stylist that will work with you, and help create the look you want to achieve for your big day. Enjoy it ALL!
Jen made me shine on my wedding day! I love the way my hair and makeup looked. Every time I look at my wedding pictures I am so thankful that I chose Jen to help me look by best fo...
r such an important day. My hair and makeup held the entire night and practically into the next day! My bridesmaids also looked perfect. Jen is such a wonderful spirit to work with. She is so helpful and supportive! I would definitely recommend Jen for future brides! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Jen was absolutely amazing. From the first consultation for my hair and makeup for wedding to 7 years later doing my hair. She truly made my wedding planning so easy. We sat down a...
nd i told her how i wanted my hair and makeup. She did my trial and it was exactly what i told her, first shot! I was so impressed on her ability to take what i was trying to explain and turn it into the look i wanted. The day of my wedding she showed up with another wonder helper (on time!) and did the most amazing job on me and my wedding party. I had so many compliments on the work she did. She has the most amazing personality and i look forward to seeing her every time. She started doing my hair on a regular basis after my wedding and has continued to do amazing work. I highly recommend her!!
My mom and I have been seeing Jen since ‘08, we both have very VERY fine hair and she’s always done magical work for us. We had my brothers wedding coming up and thankfully Jen was...
able to set us up with her team: Jaclyn and Shannon. We had so much fun in the studio that day and to say they did an amazing job is an understatement. Shannon (on hair) created a beautiful up-do for me, and a stunning blow out for my mom. Jaclyn killed the make up for us both- finished with lashes and a light, not cakey, airbrushed look. Not to mention, we were finished by 10 am and the look kept *on a pretty humid day* all. day. long. (very impressive in my opinion). I’m especially grateful that they made my mom feel beautiful on the day of her first sons wedding. Thank you to the Whole You Beauty team, we look forward to all the future events knowing they will start with you!!
Jennifer did an amazing job on my hair and makeup! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I was completely comfortable with what she was doing. My makeup did not look ...
caked on at all and it lasted the whole night. My hair was absolutely perfect. I received so many compliments on my wedding day about my hair and makeup, I cannot thank her enough.
When I began looking for a makeup artist for my wedding, I didn’t have any word of mouth suggestions or people I knew. So I blindly looked online and reached out to a few places. J...
ennifer from whole you immediately got back to me with pricing and asked if I would like to set up a trial. Some of the other vendors I spoke with were incredibly expensive and/or didn’t get back to me for several days. I set up a trial with Jaclyn and we clicked right away. I wasn’t sure if I wanted the airbrush makeup that she did during the trial, and she assured me that was why we did the trial so we could try different things and get it just right on the big day. Between then and my wedding day, Jaclyn did two facials on me- one was a gentle chemical peel and the other a calming facial one week before my wedding. She was “prepping” my face- (her palate). She gave me amazing deals on the services since I was one of her brides. By the time my wedding rolled around, my skin felt amazing, hydrated, and free of blemishes. She and Jennifer were punctual, fun and professional on the day of my wedding. My whole bridal party’s makeup was beautiful and natural looking..... and it didn’t take the whole day to do. Jaclyn has become
A good friend and an aesthetician that i will continue to see!
My experience with whole you was fabulous from start to finish- responsive, affordable, friendly and personalized.
Had an amazing experience working with Jennifer for her wedding day! She is so very friendly, polite and responsive! Our company cannot wait to work with her again on a upcoming ph...
oto-shoot so we can truly enjoy her amazing talents! Thank you so much Jennifer for making everything such a great positive and fun experience! You are so talented!
Jen was fantastic!! She did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mother, and me. I got compliments all night long. My mother keeps talking about going back to her for a future sp...
ecial occasion. During my hair and makeup trial, she took quite a good amount of time with me. I was new to a few things (e.g. false eyelashes) and she make me feel comfortable and worked at my pace. I couldn't be happier, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!
I had the good fortune to have Jen working with me for my wedding, and I could not have been any happier!! She took care of hair and makeup for myself, my mother and my sisters an...
d she was phenomenal!! Her work was not only beautiful, but my hair was perfect for the entire night. She really listens and creates the look that you really want for your day. I honestly couldn't believe it was me in my photos, she made me look so beautiful. Not to mention she's so personable and funny, which is such a huge help when you're all jitters like I was. She's very talented and you will be more than satisfied if you decide to work with her. Thank you Jen, you were amazing.
When it came time to start planning our wedding, I knew exactly who I would call for my hair and makeup for the most important day of my life. Jennifer is an amazing stylist who c...
an take your hair and makeup vision and make it come to life! For my trial, I brought several pictures of what I liked and a friend for opinions. We tried two different hair styles and I fell in love. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, she helped me figure out exactly what I liked. Two of her most amazing qualities are her ability to answer the questions you didn't realize you had, and to truly listen to your thoughts and vision. In planning for the big day, some of my wedding party and family opted for hair and/or makeup. Her responsiveness to scheduling and figuring out the best way for multiple people to pay made the planning process easy. On the big day, she and her makeup artist made it all happen. Everything they did worked around what I wanted or needed. We stayed on schedule and they kindly fixed some last minute hair and makeup emergencies that family members had (people who didn't reserve their services), one of which was my mother who doesn't trust anyone other than herself with her hair - impressive! Jennifer is a true professional who is incredibly talented. If I were to ever remarry (which I hope I do not), I would not hesitate to rehire Jennifer! Thank you for all you did to make my wedding day so special!
Jen has been doing my hair for about 10 years now and she really is the best! I've had her do cuts (pretty drastic cuts), many keratin treatments and also some hairstyling. My hair...
has a mind of its own and doesn't behave very well for other stylists but Jen always manages to make it look its best! She also has the best personality and can totally calm you down whether she's doing your hair for a big event or for your big day!
Jen has been my stylist for 12 years. I followed her from another salon!!! She had also been my husbands stylist before he and I started dating....so of course she did my hair and...
makeup for our wedding!!! she did such a great job. My maid of honor and I had a couple of prep visits to try out some different looks and had a great time! On my day..she came to my home to get me ready and it made it that much more special as my friend was there to help me look beautiful for my Honey!!! I love Jen and I recommend her to everyone who will listen to me!!
I've been going to Jennifer for my hair for years. We always talked about how someday I would get married and how she would have to be there to make me look amazing... When I got e...
ngaged she was one of the first people I told. She pulled together her amazing team that didn't fail to make both myself and my wedding party perfect. Throughout the whole planning process Jennifer was one of the vendors I knew I could count on. No stress and quick responses. The day of my wedding her team showed up bright and early (4:45am) and had smiles on their faces the whole time. I couldn't image my morning going any smoother than it did. The team was fast and efficient and had us ready to go on time. If you are currently planning your wedding from one bride to another I highly recommend Jennifer and her team. One less thing to stress about.
I first met Jen when I was looking for a hair stylist and make up artist for my wedding, and then I just coming back! Jen is incredibly talented and current with the latest trends....
What's more is her professionalism and intuitive nature make it so easy to work with her. Everyone in my wedding party was beyond happy with their hair and makeup. To this day, every time I show my wedding pictures to someone they always tell me how much the love my wedding hair! Jen made me feel beautiful and at ease for my special day! If you are looking for a hair stylist and make up artist to make you feel like the best version of yourself for your special day, Jen is your go-to girl!
I cannot express how truly amazing Jen is as a stylist & make-up artist!!!!! Jen did my hair and make-up for my wedding and I am still receiving compliments from family and friends...
!!! I have never felt so pretty in my life!! She is not only passionate about what she does, she's a true professional! She knows the ins & outs of weddings and knows what needs to be done to keep everyone calm and on schedule. Because of Jen & her team, everything ran on schedule...I had 10 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 2 grandmothers who got their hair and makeup done and we were all dressed and on time for our first look pictures! I highly recommend Jen to all brides who want to look absolutely stunning on their wedding day!
Jen and her crew did the hair and makeup for my entire bridal party (9 people!). To say they knocked it out of the park is an understatement. Jen met with me beforehand for a hair ...
and make-up trial where we were able to discuss all the details. She is truly professional, fun, and entertaining at the same time. She helped calm my nerves before the big day and was very well organized. She showed up on time and brought everything you could possibly need with her. I can't thank her enough and highly recommend her for your bridal party needs!
Jen is an amazing stylist. I have been going to her for years and in 67 days, she will be doing my hair and make up for my wedding.
She LISTENS to what you want. She will give he...
r ideas and professional opinion, but she has never PUSHED what she wanted to do to my head, but honestly I usually let her work her magic because she always has such a vision.
She will discuss what you want/need in comprehensive detail. She is always honest. She will be supportive. She is professional. Above all, she is caring and kind.
I have used other hairstylists throughout the years, for various reasons, but it was never as good of an experience. I am always 100% happy when I leave Jen's chair. Friends and customers always rave about my hair and some are shocked to find out I am not a natural red head. Many have asked for her contact info and have been very satisfied after their appointment.
I am so looking forward to the vision Jen and I have come up with for my day. You WILL have such an amazing experience with her. I can not say enough good things about her. You won't be disappointed!
