Amazing hair and makeup artists!

I had such a positive experience with Jenn and the entire Gloss Philly team. They really listened to what I wanted for my wedding and made it happen! The Gloss Philly ladies are professional, timely, and so kind. Not only did they make my bridesmaids and I look gorgeous, they are also fantastic human beings. Jenn came prepared with everything a bride could need and more. She helped me to put my veil in my hair and also kept me calm all morning. Gloss Philly has my highest recommendation!

AMAZING experience

Hiring Jenn and her team was one of the absolute best decisions I made when planning my wedding. Jenn is an unbelievably talented hair and makeup artist, and she absolutely nailed the look I was going for. I got married outside on an 87 degree day hair and makeup literally stayed PERFECT all night (even through some happy tears and a LOT of dancing). She went above and beyond, even staying late for touch-ups, and my entire bridal party looked and felt incredible. I would 100000/10 recommend Gloss Philly to anyone planning a wedding!

Great make up!

Lyss was great!! I’ve gotten my make up done for several weddings this year so I somewhat knew what I wanted/ didn’t want and she was able to create the look I wanted perfectly! Highly recommend!!

Jen is Amazing!

Jen did my makeup for my bridal shower and was so wonderful to work with. Not only was she on time and just truly amazing at what she does she was also helped make the getting ready morning so fun. I looked and felt beautiful and she made me look glam but also I still looked like myself. She went above and beyond to also cover up my legs with body makeup as well. I don’t think I have ever received that many compliments! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get their makeup done for a special event.

Thank you, Jen!

Jennifer was the stylist at my sister in law's wedding this past Saturday and was fenominal. Genuinely the sweetest person. Not only did she make everyone look and feel beautiful, but when I asked her to clasp my necklace for me, she offered to do my hair quickly as well. (I was not in the wedding party and thus not in her schedule.) She did me up in 10 minutes flat better than I ever could have hoped to on my own (especially not being able to see the back of my head in the hotel mirror) and would accept nothing but "good karma" as payment. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal stylist. 100/10

Philly Wedding_June 2024

The Gloss team was incredible! I had a huge wedding party (13 services total on the wedding day) and everybody looked stunning. They were also super accommodating in scheduling my preview session just a few days before the wedding. Jenn and Randy advised me super well and stayed past 6 PM on a Thursday until I was satisfied with the results. They even offered my sister and I Margaritas and food during the 3-4 hours of preview. We had such a blast and getting to know them two days before the wedding made the bridal prep even more fun.

They were extremely good, super flexible, professional, and fun. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely seemless!

This group was the perfect group of people to start off my wedding day (at the crack of dawn - 5am)! Jenn & her team were very communicative throughout the whole process and super flexible. Everyone is very professional and easy to talk to for the 30 - 50 minutes your in a chair with them. My hair and makeup lasted for over 12 hours (my eyelashes even stayed on in the shower). If you are in the area - I HIGHLY recommend Gloss Philly. I did a lot of price quoting with other vendors, and honestly this team is pretty competitive in pricing and deliver such quality for such a huge part of your day.

The photo of me on the floor is AFTER the ceremony and reception (lots of dancing and sweating and my face is still INTACT!!)

Fantastic!

Jennifer and Karalee were wonderful. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I were all thrilled with how we looked. I ended up changing my hairstyle the day of my wedding from the trial because it was going to be over 90 degrees. Jenn was totally on top of it, and took my somewhat unclear thoughts as to how I wanted to adapt the original style for the weather and created a look that I absolutely loved and was perfect for the hot day. I also highly recommend Jenn for curly hair, as both me and my sister loved how Jenn managed our natural curls.

Incredibly talented team of super kind women!

Jenn and the team at Gloss are truly the best. Their pricing is competitive and fair, and the services you get are truly next-level. Jenn is super flexible, funny, and friendly -- she can make a bride feel completely at ease on a really stressful day.

My bridesmaids and I all loved our wedding day looks. The team is incredible at taking your inspiration and applying, and everyone ended up so happy with their hair and makeup.

I would also 100% recommend extending your services for touch-ups to have Jenn hang around up until the ceremony -- she was running around like crazy making sure everyone's hair and makeup was perfect.

Truly a 10/10 vendor team! Thanks so much Gloss!

Jennifer is THE BEST!

Jennifer did our makeup for a friends wedding that I was in and I HAD to have her do my makeup for my own wedding. She is so knowledgable and skilled at what she does, and makes everyone feel comfortable even if they don't typically wear makeup. She is easy to communicate with and so much fun to work with! I LOVED my makeup for my wedding and my bridesmaids and family members raved about their makeup too!! Would definitely recommend Gloss!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
