We had the pleasure of working with Ariel on our wedding day! Ariel was extremely responsive and thorough in her communication. She maintained a professional attitude throughout every part of our wedding process and it is clear that she is committed to making you look beautiful while maintaining ethical beauty practices. For example, Ariel strictly uses cruelty-free beauty products.

After my trial, I realized some of the products did not react well with my skin. Ariel was super understanding and had me come back for a second trial. This certainly eased my concerns and everything turned out beautifully! She showed up early, awake and prepared, and made sure we finished before schedule! I had a bit of a melt-down about flowers during my application and Ariel was so calming during the situation. She truly made myself and my girls feel beautiful and I cannot thank you enough for being so fabulous throughout each step of the way!

Ariel was fantastic! She was very professional in her communication leading up to our wedding day. Her studio in Bath, Maine is beautiful and Instagram/Pinterest worthy! She made me feel very at ease and comfortable, and did my hair and makeup exactly as I had envisioned it. On top of her absolutely flawless technique, she uses high end, cruelty free products, which was important for me. My bridesmaids and I had so much fun with Ariel, I highly recommend her!

All I can say is WOW! Ariel seriously is wonderful! She was the sweetest person to work with and was absolutely amazing with hair! She truly made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. She also did an amazing job doing my bridesmaids hair as well, they all looked absolutely stunning! She is to easy to talk to and communicate with and really spent the time looking at photos and getting everything just right. She is phenomenal!

Ariel is a gem! She is talented, patient, sweet, and such a pleasure to work with. I felt comfortable telling her what I wanted because she is so understanding, and clearly wants to make sure you are happy. And you will be, she is such a talent!
She did makeup for my whole party as well as my hair. She brought along a great team to help with hair. The morning felt calm and not at all rushed because she budgets just the right amount of time. I am so, so glad Ariel was part of our day she was a huge part in starting the day off just right!

Ariel is amazing. She did my makeup in my friend's wedding and I knew then I wanted to use her again for my own wedding! My wedding was a semi-destination wedding and my schedule was crazy so I didn't get to see her again until the hair and makeup trial...2 days before the wedding. She was extremely accommodating throughout the entire planning process and came to me to do the makeup trial. I actually preferred doing the trial close to the wedding. I trusted her completely and was very happy on the day of the wedding! Her airbrush technique is awesome and my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids loved that the makeup didn't look too heavy. The morning of the wedding couldn't have gone smoother without rushing. Highly recommend her!!

Ariel is talented, honest, and personable. I am so glad I booked her services for my wedding last month. When I first booked Ariel in summer 2016, I had no idea of my plans for my wedding a year later - I just had a date and a venue, and I knew I wanted to use her services. Ariel was flexible in working with me and staying in touch over the course of the year. I did my trial two days before my wedding, and she was so lovely to me and my mom. Ariel took the time to explain things, answer questions, and provided great feedback. The morning of the wedding, she and her helpers from Bonnie's A Cut Above were fantastic - they were relaxed, skilled and chatty. Ariel is a winner, and she made me feel beautiful for my wedding. She helped initially with hair for everyone and then focused on make up while the other ladies finished up the bridesmaids hair. We were ready early on our timeline and her promptness kicked off a smooth wedding day. Ariel has done weddings with 15 bridesmaids before - even though she is a one-woman show, she has excellent contacts around New England to handle bigger weddings. We loved her!

There is truly no one better than Ariel when it comes to gorgeous hair and make-up! She was like a friend throughout the entire wedding planning process and put me at ease on my big day. She had our whole wedding party looking stunning and feeling great. She is highly professional, responsive and does amazing work. I highly recommend Ariel!

Ariel was my hair stylist and makeup artist for my wedding day on September 24, 2016 in Southport, Maine. She is amazing! She was easy to communicate with during planning, always quick to answer questions, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. We did a hair and makeup trial about a month before my wedding so we got to meet and I instantly loved her down-to-earth personality and enthusiasm. She was so nice and I felt so comfortable with her. Plus, I absolutely loved the airbrush makeup and hair style that she did on me and didn’t need to change a thing! On the day of the wedding, she made sure to stick to the timeline and got everyone finished in the perfect amount of time. It was so fun getting ready in the morning with my bridesmaids, and Ariel fit right in with us! All 6 of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup- she made everyone feel beautiful! Ariel is so talented and I feel so lucky that I got to work with her. I highly recommend her!

I can't say enough about Ariel! She was amazing from the first time I met her for my trial! I showed her a picture of my vision and she went with it! We got ready at the wedding venue, so she traveled and brought another stylist to help with all the girls. Our hair and makeup was beautiful!! We had an outdoor wedding, and we all looked great late in to the night! Ariel was very easy to communicate with and responsive to all our needs! Thank you Ariel, you made our day extra special!!

Ariel was wonderful in every way – HIRE HER! Most importantly, she made me feel so stunningly beautiful, and I could tell from the way my now husband looked at me that day (and after the trial), that he agreed! Ariel is an amazing listener, she took my minor revisions into consideration to make everything just perfect! As a New York City girl, I loved that she has classy and trendy city sophistication standards as well as business professionalism mixed with her utterly sweet Maine charm. Ariel is fantastic at taking a picture and creating a mirror image with any hairstyle. She was also able to complete hair and/or make-up for eight women before my wedding and was willing to stick around to freshen me up in between the first look and the ceremony!

Further, Ariel’s contract is straight forward and easy. From the moment I found her website online, through contract negotiations, to such a fun trial and wedding day prep, Ariel was amazing!!
