    Incredible!

    Maria is truly amazing! Her expertise and creativity are very reflective in her work. She took the vision I had for my bridal hair and executed it perfectly! I loved it so much! My mother has been battling stage 4 cancer and needed her wig styled and Maria styled it beautifully! It looked so natural on her and she received many complements throughout the night. My mother said it was the most beautiful she has felt since being diagnosed.

    Other things I loved about Maria is that she is super fast and had me and six others ready in 4 hours. Our hair also stayed all day long! Lastly, Maria has her own hair extension brand which are made from the best quality.

    Thank you so much Maria for helping make my day such a memorable and beautiful one!

    The best of the best hair and makeup service for all women, especially women of color

    I would give Maria and her teammate, Ramonda, 10 stars if I could. Getting my makeup done professionally has gone badly so many times. I’ve had makeup professionals really struggle with my Asian features. Not only was I deeply impressed by how amazing I looked, I felt comfortable and confident in Marias ability to work with me and accentuate my features, rather than try to make me something I’m not. My hair was also exactly what I envisioned, it was crazy how spot on it was. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who’s considering professional hair and makeup. Thank you so much Maria, seriously….I looked friggen dope. You rock. Xoxoxox

    Incredible

    Maria literally had the patience of a saint. Not only is her work INCREDIBLE, but she is flexible, patient, and entertained every single post, picture, or video I found of what I thought I wanted.
    Maria is truly an amazing artist. She was so flexible and kind from the moment I reached out about a trial. She provided her honest opinion about my thoughts on what I wanted, and completely ran with my vision. And I’ll just say - my hair turned out better than I could have ever imagined.
    Maria’s flexibility is unmatched. From changing my venue, to postponing due to Covid, to having to get married with 2 days notice due to my wife losing her job, Maria was there for me. She adjusted my hairstyle to match a courtroom instead of a ballroom and EVERYONE still comments.
    Choosing Maria for your hair will be the easiest and smartest decision you’ll make for your big day.

    Awesome!!!

    I met Maria a few weeks ago to get a hair trial for my wedding coming this November. Maria was professional, kind and very talented. I told her what kind of look I was going for and she nailed it perfectly! I am so excited to have her on board for MY big day and cannot wait to see my hair on my wedding day. She is also very sweet and understanding. I would recommend her to everyone!

    Maria Licari's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind works Bianca!! You girls were super sweet and fun to hang out with during our trial! I'm So excited to glam you up on your BIG DAY!!! =)

    Amazing Hairstylist

    Maria is an incredible hairstylist. She was able to make last minute changes to my hair to accommodate my bridal headpiece and veil and somehow it ended up being even better than the trial so many months previously! I recommend her 1000%!

    My Maria! She is as amazing of a human being as she is a makeup artist. What can I say about her? Her talent far exceeds any artist I've ever worked with. She does such a beautiful job and it LASTS for hours. She is so sweet, so responsive, and so on the ball. She's been so good to my mom and I. Maria is your best advocate on your wedding day.

    Maria did an amazing job at hair and makeup for my wedding in April. She did hair and makeup for me, and hair for my 5 bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. She also brought an assistant to do makeup for the rest of the ladies. I must say everyone looked beautiful and flawless. My mother was also very happy with how everything turned out.

    Maria also really cares about you being happy on your wedding day and is super accommodating. I live in North Carolina, but was planning a wedding to take place in New York, so I was not up north a lot and my schedule and time was limited while I was in NY. The only day I was available for a hair and makeup trial was the day she is off. Her schedule is so busy and tiring and even though it was her day off she still took the time for the trial because she really wanted to make sure I would be happy and feel confident as the wedding day approached. The trial was great and then on the wedding day she took all of the notes from the trial, even things I had forgotten and little things my mom had mentioned. She was also right on time on the day of the wedding and everyone was ready exactly when I had told her that we needed to be ready for pictures. I highly recommend Maria! She is also the sweetest person and very calming. You only want to be around sweet calm people as you get ready for your wedding!

    I worked in the beauty PR industry when I was looking for a hair/makeup artist for my wedding, and I had very high standards during my search process knowing that I wanted an experienced professional, and that I considered my bridal look one of the most important elements of the wedding. I heard about Maria through the grapevine as she often works alongside a celebrity stylist that I worked with on behalf of my client at the time, and she actually did the wedding hair/makeup for one of my colleagues and a sister of one of my colleagues - both of them RAVED about Maria and I was excited to connect with her and schedule a trial. I lived in Hoboken, NJ at the time and she had no problem driving to my apartment from NY for an at-home trial. She used extensions to create a half-up/half-down look and I loved it. The makeup was equally as good. I follow Maria on Instagram and Facebook and it was great to keep in contact throughout the year in between the trial and the wedding, especially as she posts a lot of photos of her hairstyles that I knew my bridesmaids could look at for inspiration. The week leading up to my 'big day' she made herself available to hop on a phone call to finalize and review all details. Fast-forward to the wedding day and Maria arrived at my venue on-time. One of her greatest strengths is to work fast without sacrificing quality, and also her reassuring conversation and calmness when working, which especially helped me calm my nerves that morning. I looked at my hair when she was almost done, and wanted a bit more texture along my top/sides, and she was able to quickly revise the style so I was more comfortable, and happy to do so. Her #1 priority is to make sure brides feel beautiful and have the end-look that they truly want, even if that means her needing to make a few changes and being flexible along the way. I would highly recommend Maria to any bride looking for a professional who is experienced in the NYC beauty industry - she is amazing!

    I have had many hair trials and many people do my hair . I am very picky when it comes to this and nothing compared to Maria's work . I didn't even have to tell Maria much of what I wanted she just did it . I can't believe how beautiful my hair came on my wedding day. I received so many compliments and I still do . She did my hair plus 12 others she did amazing work on all of them with no help !!! You would show a picture and she would replicate it . She is very professional and very personable you feel like she is one of your friends . Thank you again for everything you have done for myself and my wedding party and family . Even my wedding trials were great and she also did my hair for my bachelorette. I will definitely use Maria in the future for upcoming events !!!!

    I am so lucky to have worked with such a talented hair and make up artist like Maria Licari for my wedding day. She was confident, professional and respectful of my time I felt I was in good hands and knew that she would make me look amazing for my wedding day. Maria was excited about my superhero wedding theme and supportive of my updated Wonder Woman costume she really had fun with it and offered fresh ideas for my look. I was fidgety and nervous at first but she helped me feel confident and relaxed. Maria was super flexible and even cut my husbands hair for our wedding day, and exceeded my expectations of the beautification process. Her punctuality was greatly appreciated and offered two original hair and makeup looks for my wedding and superhero reception. I would recommend Maria's hair and make up services to anyone and I would love to work with her again in the future.

    Maria was a lifesaver. I tried numerous make up artists and hair stylists. No one even came close to her work. Both my hair & make up was perfect and she was willing to come as early as I needed her.
    I will never use anyone else for future events.

    Maria was a very good makeup artist. I told her what I like and she made sure she had all products. I used her for of my wedding events. I started with engagement party, we tested out the airbrush on my skin realize it didn't work in my skin. On my bridal shower she was prepared with foundation instead. Maria was always on time and responsive to my needs. Hire her she is great.

    Maria is a true artist! I left it up to her to decide my hair style and makeup, and she worked her magic! Her experience and talent shines through... my hair/makeup was flawless and lasted ALL day! She knows what will work or won't work simply by looking at you! I use Maria for all of my events, and am beyond satisfied each time!

    Maria is professional, knowledgeable and met my expectations. She thinks "outside the box" and gave me the desired look I was seeking. Maria did my hair as well as my makeup and I received compliments all night. She came prepared with every color and hair accessory you could imagine! Her products were fantastic. I have since recommended her to friends, who also love her.

    I would highly recommend Maria!

    Maria was amazing!! She did both hair and makeup for my wedding and hair for my 5 bridesmaids and flower girl. She brought in an assistant for their makeup. We had a trial a few months before, she listened to what I wanted and I couldn't be happier! There was not one complaint the day of and everyone looked flawless! I still get compliments to this day about both the hair and makeup! I would highly recommend her!
