Amazing/perfect/flawless

Erin and her team are an amazing group of women who swooped in and made me and my bridal party look stunning! Erin and her team came in and quickly and efficiently set up a perfect little studio space. She and her team quickly became part of my bridal party in the best way possible- glamming, jamming and laughing. Erin was so nice and a breath of fresh air during my pre-wedding jitters. She stayed way past her end point to make sure my hair/dress/veil/make up was all flawless before my reveal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Erin and her team. I highly recommend Erin for any hair/make up glam if you are looking in the greater NY area. She and her team are amazing goddesses!

Wonderful!

Erin did hair and makeup for my wedding and she is truly outstanding. My hair looked amazing, and she really nailed the natural makeup look I was going for. In addition to being a true professional, she is so calm and a pleasure to work with, she made me feel really relaxed. I can’t recommend her enough!

Excellent, calming, easy and long lasting hair

If I can give Erin more stars I would! She was so calm & very easy to work with. Even when we had a later than expected start she was very accommodating starting with whoever was ready. I live in Florida and we were having our wedding in NY so I couldn’t meet Erin beforehand and had to trust the beautiful hairstyles I saw online. And I was not disappointed at all! Everything came out better than I could’ve ever imagined! We have all types of hair & all the girl’s hairstyles stayed intact. Including mine, no matter how much dancing we did! I would definitely recommend her!

Best there is.

There is no one better to have there with you on your big day. Her work is perfection, she listened to my vision and most importantly she makes your natural beauty shine through.
Would recommend her to anyone!

Erin is awesome!

Erin and her team were an actual dream to work with! They made my bridal party and I look drop-dead GORGEOUS! I went to Erin for a trial and then ended up completely changing my mind about what I wanted, and she was on board with everything! She was super accessible throughout the entire process, and we still keep in touch! This could just be a testament to her fabulous customer service and shining personality, but I would honestly consider Erin a friend now!

Erin is the Best!

I had such a great experience working with Erin. From our first email convos, to my wedding day she was flexible, easy going and so sweet! I had a hard time describing what I wanted, but she was able to achieve the exact look I was going for. I wear glasses and wanted a very natural look and she easily understood what I wanted and made some great suggestions. She was flexible with our constantly changing day-of schedule, and even made time for an additional person to get their makeup done. I would highly recommend Erin for both hair and makeup!!

Wonderful Experience!

Erin was very easy to work with, coming to our hotel and working in less than ideal conditions. She expertly created our beautiful hairstyles and makeup. I couldn't believe how amazing we all looked after she worked her magic! She also was super friendly and patient! I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and I highly recommend her services! Thank you, Erin, for making us look so beautiful for my daughter's wedding!

a great experience!

I loved working with Erin on my wedding day hair and makeup! I wanted a really natural look -- I don't wear a lot of makeup and it was super important to me to look/feel like myself on the big day. Erin totally got that and made sure that we were on the same page. I was all over the place when it came to my hair, but Erin was flexible and let me decide what I wanted day of. It was also important to me not to spend hours on the day-of getting ready, and Erin was so accommodating with the tight timeline we put together. She went above and beyond in so many ways -- from sticking around during my initial portraits to help me with my veil before the ceremony, to helping me cover a large scar on my elbow with makeup when I realized at the last minute it was showing up in portraits. She's also just the sweetest, and super calming to be around! I highly recommend working with Erin!!
