How I can I say this clearly..Ellie is AMAZING!! I had interviewed a good amount of hair and makeup professionals and with a hands down approval from a very renowned hotel wedding coordinator, to which I had my wedding at, there was no other choice but Ellie. She is a delight to work with and so patient and sweet. As all brides know, you can be a bit flustered on your big day and looking beautiful is up there in the top 3 most important, of course getting married is in there too. I have never really liked how makeup artist leave my face with wrong colors and so much eye makeup that you tend to look like a raccoon. Ellie is the only artist that I was blown away with! She made me look like I was ready to hit the red carpet! I had five bridesmaids and my mother and we were right on time with time to spare for photos and of course a glass of champagne to calm the nerves and celebrate. She is such an amazingly nice person and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that wants such professionalism and friendly persona!

I booked Ellie of A New Twist ten months in advance of my August wedding and was excited to work with her, but was extremely unhappy with her on the day-of. Ellie arrived a FULL HOUR later than she was supposed to arrive before my wedding, which set our entire schedule for the day one hour behind. This is simply unacceptable. She did do a nice job with my hair and makeup, but the pictures that were lost and the stress that was added due to her tardiness were not worth it at all. She was inconsiderate of my time, and did not even call to let me know she would be late - I had to call her after waiting 15 minutes after her scheduled time. It later came out through conversation that she had double-booked her day and not planned enough time for travel. To make it all worse, she did not even apologize! My bridesmaids and I were appalled at her lack of professionalism and common courtesy.

Ellie was absolutely amazing, one of the highlights of my wedding planning experience. We had a destination wedding, and so had to book Ellie based on her work and reviews, before meeting her in person. I am so happy we did. She was incredibly sweet and flexible, and was willing to do my Mom's makeup at the last minute!

Ellie has done hair and make-up for my wedding day and 2 other of my best friends on their wedding days. Her updo's were great and make-up flawless. My mother will never forget how beautiful she felt on my wedding day. I liked her assistants she brought this past June when I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. Its always nice when you can get a "trial run" at her salon to see how you want to look on your big day!
