    Highly recommed - wonderful team & incredible service

    Gretchen and her team OUTDID themselves leading up to and on my wedding day. Gretchen was an absolute pleasure to work with; she is super punctual, communicative and a true professional.

    On the wedding day the Love Crush Beauty staff was all timely, super talented and loved by all my friends and family. We had 5 team members come. Every single bridesmaid that had gotten hair and/or makeup done said they were blown away with the services they received. The team listens to exactly what look you are going for, whether you want glam or natural. You can't always make everyone happy but with Love Crush Beauty I promise everyone will be more than happy! Everyone looked incredible, hair and makeup lasted the ENTIRE night (Started at 9am and stayed up until 6am partying!)

    Wonderful experience!

    The Love Crush Beauty team is fabulous! From the initial wedding hair/makeup trial, to having to postpone the wedding, to making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, Gretchen was not only super accommodating, but was also extremely kind, responsive, and so talented! She did my hair and makeup EXACTLY how I envisioned it, and it lasted all night! The rest of her team was also amazing - very friendly, professional, and they all did an amazing job. All my bridesmaids and both moms were so happy with how they looked, and everyone's hair and makeup lasted the entire night, through sweat and (happy) tears. And on top of all that amazing work, they are very reasonably priced, especially compared to other similar vendors in the Long Island area. I highly highly recommend them.

    I felt gorgeous

    Gretchen and her team were a calming presence the morning of my wedding. They were complete professionals and knew exactly what they were doing during our VERY early morning hair and makeup session. With my mother having spent this past year battling and beating ovarian cancer, she was concerned that she wouldn’t feel beautiful for our wedding. But Gretchen and her team made my mother feel absolutely beautiful, they took the time to expertly apply lashes, and makeup, and no one could tell she was wearing a wig that day. She didn't look sick at all and looked beautiful and vibrant! Making sure my mom felt gorgeous was a top priority for me on my wedding day and they absolutely succeeded in doing just that. My only advice would be to make sure you schedule enough time for getting ready...don’t want to feel rushed and anxious.

    Great hair and makeup!

    I loved working with Gretchen and her team! They did mine and my bridal party’s hair and makeup, and everyone looked fantastic! I highly recommend them, 10/10.

    Everyone looked amazing!

    Gretchen and her team did such an amazing job! We were all so happy with how our hair and makeup turned out, and for me, seeing everyone in their final look is really what made it all seem so real!!! Getting your hair and makeup done is such a fun and important part of the specialness of the day, and that’s exactly how Gretchen made me feel! Her and her team were right on time and had everyone’s hair/makeup scheduled out in order to make sure we were done and ready for the photographers. The whole morning was seamless and everyone looked perfect! So if you want to feel beautiful, and confident, and relaxed (as much as you can be) then you should definitely hire Love Crush Beauty!

    Gretchen and her team are great to work with

    Gretchen and her team were great! I have to say I was a little nervous and pestered Gretchen with questions leading up to the wedding day, but she was super patient and willing to do what needed to be done to make my day easy and me comfortable. I really appreciated her flexibility and her work was amazing!! It was 84 degrees and very humid out. My makeup stayed all day and so did my curls!

    Special shout out to Shani who also did some great work on my mom and sister!

    LoveCrushBeauty really knows what they’re doing and it was a plus that they offered both hair and makeup for one stop shopping!

    Excellent trial- booked immediately!!

    Gretchen was very welcoming and accommodating, and very easy to talk to. After showing her some inspiration pics, she got straight to work, and created two beautiful hairstyles. She answered all my questions regarding scheduling, hair accessories, and possibilities for makeup. I highly recommend her, she has a calming presence and way of speaking that I know will be very helpful on my wedding day!

    Love Crush Beauty's reply:

    Kristen this was such a nice surprise to see! Thank you for leaving a review on your trial...if was a fun time and looking forward to doing it again in June! xoxo

    I had take the time to express how incredible Gretchen and her team is. One of my concerns on my wedding day was for everything to be done on time and to not be late to the venue (wedding was at 6:30pm so there was no reason for it). I've been a part of my fair share of weddings and have seen how disastrous it could be! (like 10 girls to one stylist YIKES!) Gretchen and her team were very patient and listened to every girl and worked in a professional but relaxed manner and finished all 8 of us within the time frame to the minute! There pricing was the best in all the research I had done plus included false lashes which all the girls loved! Our hair and makeup, especially mine, lasted all night and everyone could not stop talking about them! Thank you so much! I will be sure to recommend you to anyone and everyone!!

    Gretchen and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my 10 bridesmaids and my mother and mother in law for my wedding 9/1/18. Every person LOVED how they looked and the team was so personable and professional. I was nervous about time with so many people, but the team worked so diligently that we even finished early!

    Gretchen did my bridal makeup, she was awesome. Airbrush is including in all makeup prices. It held up well into the next day! She had two other beauticians do my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Everything came out gorgeous! I highly recommend and very reasonably priced!

    This team is great! The power went out on my wedding day and they still got the job done. My sister wanted her hair styled with no heat and they were able to do a beautiful style. They can handle anything and I had a large amount of services for that day. Below is what I wrote to Gretchen and her team who serviced my wedding April 6 2018:

    I want to start of by saying thank you so much for everything you and your wonderful team did for my wedding. All the bridesmaids and family members that did their hair, makeup, or both stated that this was the BEST service they ever received and I agree. My bridesmaids had diverse hair types and each of you were able to style their hair exactly how they wanted. One feedback I was provided with is that the person showed a photo of only the front view of the hairstyle she wanted and you ladies were able to do the exact same style in the front with a beautiful style in the back that complimented the hairstyle. Makeup wise, we all used the airbrush makeup and it lasted through all the tears the day of. At the end of each service you each were open to feedback in asking whether or not they wanted any changes in their hair and/or makeup.
    In the hotel, the power went out! Any other bride would have went into complete panic mode when that happened, but I did not because I was confident in you and your team. Everyone on your team was so calm and composed while this was happening. If I recall correctly, the power was out for at least 30-40 minutes and your team still managed to get 14 hair services and 8 makeup services done before the time I requested. From the makeup trial to the wedding, there is no other team I wanted to be with on my wedding day. Thank you so much! I don't think there are enough words to explain my gratitude. I was so happy to be with such a professional and agile team that day and I would recommend you to any bride that asks me. Great service at such a great price as well. Hopefully work with you soon

    Gina, Raisa, Shani, Lucia, & Sheri were absolutely amazing on my wedding day! They even had to trek through the snow to get to my 12/30/17 wedding and they all made it on-time and without complaining. We had so much fun getting ready and just hanging out in the morning of the wedding. They finished all of us in a timely matter! We had 9 people and then myself(the Bride). Everyone was thrilled with how we looked. I cried a bunch of times and so did my whole family and bridal party and our make up stayed perfect! Thank you so much!

    Love Crush Beauty's reply:

    To our lovely bride Tatyana! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful, heart-felt review. It is a beautiful reflection of our team and makes us so proud of them, and we are so grateful to have you as one of our brides. Beautiful wishes to you and your hubby! xoxo

    I used Gretchen and her team for my wedding on 10/14/17. My bridesmaids and I were absolutely thrilled with how we looked. Every member of Gretchen's team was on time and on schedule, and our morning was smooth and low-stress because of it, even with 10 bridesmaids! I cannot recommend Gretchen enough.

    Gretchen and her team worked on my 9/9/17 wedding. Her entire team was absolutely fantastic, kept everyone on schedule and all of my bridesmaids hair came out beautiful.
    Gretchen worked directly on my hair and makeup and from trial to day of, she was attentive, always answered all my questions in a timely manner and was a pleasure to work with. My hair and make up was flawless and it held up ALL night, through tons of dancing.
    I am so happy I chose Gretchen and her team (Laurissa and Shannon) for my wedding day!

    Love Crush Beauty's reply:

    Hi Sylvia! Thank you for thinking of us so soon after your wedding! And of course....CONGRATULATIONS! We had a lot of fun working with everyone (on both sides) and BTW I saw Krista on the way out...O.M.G.!!! Her hair...was perfect! I called Shannon minutes after to tell her that I could not have done it better! Thank you both for having us all on the job, and we are so grateful to have had the experience of working with both of you (and your families) on such a special day. Keep in touch!
    xoxo Gretchen, Shannon, and Laurissa...your wedding hair and makeup team of Long Island!

    Gretchen and her team are amazing to work with!! I went for a make-up trial with Michelle and had a few changes to make before the big day - she nailed it and I was absolutely happy with my wedding look! Shannon did my hair right off the bat and it was gorgeous - thank you so much, you made my vision for my big day become reality!

    Love Crush Beauty's reply:

    Hey there Claudia! Thank you for leaving such a glowing review for Shannon and Michelle! They could not say enough about what a sweet bride you were and how happy and beautiful you looked! I'm so happy your look was everything you had hoped for. Thanks for having us be part of your very special day and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Gretchen and her team. From the first time I contacted Gretchen regarding hair and make-up for my wedding she was so helpful and accommodating. She was extremely responsive to emails, calls and texts which made the planning process so much easier! After my hair and make-up came out beautiful at the trial I booked her on the spot. Not only is Gretchen extremely talented, but her calm and caring demeanor is exactly what you will want on the day of your wedding. Gretchen and her team traveled to provide services at the hotel near our wedding venue. Gretchen and the three other hair/make-up artists were extremely professional, friendly, accommodating and talented! They arrived on time and were extremely efficient in providing services for myself and 9 other ladies. All of my bridesmaids commented on how wonderful the team was and how impressed they were with the services they received. I highly recommend M.A.L.I. to anyone looking for the best!

    First off- let me start by saying I am absolutely not a girly girl by any means. So make up and hair is totally not my thing. And every time I have gotten my make up (especially) done I absolutely hate it every single time I leave. 100% of the time when I get home I wash it off and put on my own. Which led me to strongly believe that for my wedding I was going to be doing my own. I went for a few trials with other make up artists before finding Gretchen as well. I even booked with one other one (NOT gretchen) because I really just thought that when you get your make up done you are just going to look like a cake face. It never sat well with me that I booked with that other lady so after a little back and forth I got my money back. I said to myself I am going to just do ONE more trial (after my now husband begged me not to do and just to do it myself). Well- I am so glad I did go for that last trial because this is when I found Gretchen. I learned that no you are actually not supposed to look like you have pounds of make up on and when you go to a women with some serious experience you leave looking the way you imagined you would. Gretchen and her whole time wow-ed one tough group of girls. I was nervous there was going to be complaining- but literally not one girl had a complaint and every one felt gorgeous which truly showed in the pictures. When you FEEL beautiful you look beautiful. Save the time shopping around and wasting money on trials- because I did- and just go to Gretchen. Her and her whole team, so professional, punctual, fun, talented and overall just great. As the bride I used Gretchen and I had numerous photo shoots with my photographer (engagement and boudoir, and obviously wedding) and each time I left I looked awesome. I really felt it too. My hair looked exactly the way I wanted it and I have some seriously difficult hair to work with. I am telling you- show this women a picture and when you leave you will look like the picture!

    Gretchen was a delight to work with! She handle all of my requests with flexibility as things changed a few times in advance of my wedding and her colleague, Laurisa, did a wonderful job on my hair and make-up. She also was able to handle all of the individual style requests from my family and friends who also had their hair and make-up done. I highly recommend this team!

    Gretchen and her assistant did an awesome job with our hair and makeup. She was very organized and timely. She really did exactly what I had asked--and without any trial (as I did not have time!). I felt very beautiful on the day and she really did an incredible job and would book her again if I could or needed to!

    Only nit picky thing was that we were ready VERY early (almost 1.5 hrs) due to scheduling--and it all felt a little bit rushed, just to wait around. I was in my dress and couldn't really leave the room without everyone seeing me--so I wish that it had not been so regimented, but it was better to be ready early than late! Perhaps if I had planned better to be getting ready in another room--I wouldn't have felt that way!

    I used M.A.L.I. for my wedding make-up on March 12. Loved, loved, loved working with Gretchen!!!! I contacted her after reading rave reviews, and the reviews were right. She was such a delight!!! Sweet, professional, and talented. The trial went extremely well, and I knew I wanted to book her that day. My mother also had a trial and Gretchen did a wonderful job. The day of the wedding, she did my make-up, my mother's and my four bridesmaids. Everyone was extremely happy with the final product. She took the time to listen to what everyone wanted. My make-up was absolutely beautiful, and lasted the whole night. I highly recommend Gretchen and I am grateful that I chose her!!!!
