Amazing work!!

Allyson is so sweet and did my bridal hair and makeup exactly how I wanted it! I’m not a heavy makeup person so I was nervous professional makeup would be, but it felt lighter than my usual makeup with the airbrush. I felt like an absolute queen :)

cannot recommend enough!

Allyson did my wedding hair and make up and she was a DREAM to work with. From my trial, to bridal portraits, rehearsal day blow out, & my wedding day - she was amazing! She is such calm, genuine, kind person who is also amazing at what she does! I feel like we had known each other forever! My hair & make up were both so stunning, lightweight, felt good on my skin, and held wonderfully! Allyson made me feel so incredibly beautiful and had the best suggestions/tips. I could not recommend her enough!!

HIGHLY recommend!!

I have known Allyson for several years now-she has always made me feel beautiful even at my lowest. I was lucky enough to have her for my wedding day hair and makeup and I just adore her. Allyson not only cares deeply for you as the client but for you as a person. Your comfort and confidence are her top priority and she WILL NOT let you down. She even helped my mother do my bustle on the day of my wedding. She truly specializes in highlighting the beauty you already possess and adheres to whatever wishes you may have for your hair and makeup. If you are thinking of hiring Allyson for your wedding, DO IT!!

Never felt more beautiful 🤩

Allyson did my makeup for my wedding on 10/8/2023 and made me feel drop dead goregous!! Everything blended so well, I got a full coverage airbrush and it felt light weighted but also covered a pimple that of course decided to make appearance on the big day. Thankfully with Allyson’s talent it truly wasn’t noticeable at all. Highly recommend booking with her! Thanks Allyson for our amazing work & kind heart!🫶

Hire Allyson ASAP!

I had the best experience working with Allyson and her team on our wedding day! She seamlessly scheduled hair and makeup for our large bridal party and somehow kept us running ahead of schedule *the entire day*, which other vendors remarked is unheard of and a testament to her planning and flawless execution.Some girls wanted very natural makeup and others wanted more glam and she listened and executed each perfectly. She made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, arrived early, and helped make my vision a reality. I felt absolutely beautiful even as someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup and wasn’t sure about what I wanted. I cannot recommend Allyson’s Chair and her team enough!!!!

Excellent Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist!

Allyson was the hair and makeup artist for myself and my three bridesmaids on my wedding day, and we all absolutely loved working with her! Allyson was always super responsive to any questions I had, and she gave clear instructions for everyone to follow to be ready for hair and makeup day of. At my hair and makeup trial, Allyson did an amazing job explaining different options, and her work really captured the look that I had envisioned! Leading up to the wedding, she even recommended a few super affordable hair and skin care products that worked perfectly for me, and I plan to continue using them. On the day of my wedding, Allyson was on time, really efficient, and she made all of us feel at ease. Allyson uses gentle products that are perfect for sensitive skin, and she has a real talent for creating looks that feel very glowy and natural. Our hair and makeup looked perfect all day (and Allyson even left me with a mini touch-up kit!), and we couldn't have been happier with the results!

Fun and Friendly! Made me feel incredible on my big day!

Allyson was an absolute JOY! From start to finish working with her and her team for my wedding hair and make-up was a breeze. She listened to what I was looking for and made it happen. She also created an incredible, relaxed day of experience for me, my mom, and bridesmaids. Music selection was on point! I don’t typically wear a lot of makeup, and she did a great job making sure I felt beautiful and special for my wedding day while still looking and feeling like myself. She also cares about making sure your skin and hair are in great shape leading up to the wedding and beyond. Working with Allyson made for a great wedding day and has impacted how I care for my skin and hair moving forward. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Allyson is truly one of a kind!

I met Allyson at my first wedding expo in Raleigh, NC right after I got engaged and hired her the next day for my girls hair and make-up. She is so sweet, cares so much about each of her brides, and is in tune with their wants and needs. All of my bridesmaids, and mama raved about how professional and kind her and her team was. The positive energy from her team set the right mood for me and all of my ladies and I will forever be grateful for her making me look so beautiful my husband cried!

Allyson - calm and kind and beautiful makeup

Loved having Allyson do my and my bridesmaids’ makeup! She was professional, affordable, and delivered on everything she promised and I looked and felt both gorgeous and myself on my big day. She and her helpers were very easy to be around the morning of the wedding, and their timeliness and calm presence really soothed those pre-wedding jitters. Thank you Allyson!

Best stylist

Look no further for your wedding hair and makeup! Allyson made my skin look flawless, my eyes pop, and my hair was exactly how I wanted it (I gave her two ideas and she pulled them together perfectly!). Overall I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt, and on my special day! The care she puts into her brides not just on day of but at trial and leading up to the big day is immense. Her assistants are lovely, sweet, attentive, and skilled! My bridesmaids were gorgeous!
