Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal.

I loved working with Jackie. She listened to my "vision" for hair and makeup which was kind of a natural glam. She nailed it! The trial was really easy and the getting ready for my wedding was so low stress, amazing. She is so easy to work with. My make up lasted and looked perfect all night and my hair withstood a bit of bad weather (wind and rain). I one hundred percent recommend her for your next event.

Jackie is simply the best - I did numerous trials with different stylist and she not only listened to what I wanted, she made me look like a more beautiful version of my every day self. I hired Jackie to do my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and another look for my wedding - I loved both. Not only is she highly skilled at hair and makeup, she is a true gem of a person. I cannot recommend her enough.

If you have not hired a hair stylist team for your wedding yet brides, look no further. Jackie and her team are beyond AMAZING. Jackie is an artist-- You show her an inspirational picture and executes it perfectly and more! She is personable, professional, creative, flexible, and patient. Jackie pays attention to all the small details you want to incorporate for your Big Day. She is team-orientated, diligent, and was very organized for my big bridal party.

Jackie and her team were truly wonderful to work with. I met Jackie when I arrived for her trial. We had our initial consultation where I told her what I was interested in, showed her my dress and the venue, and explained the vibe I was going for. Based on this information, Jackie did my hair and makeup, and I wore the look home. I took notes throughout the day and consulted with Jackie on what I was unhappy with. She responded quickly with ways to address them on the big day. Prior to my wedding day, we worked through the timeline to understand when my bridesmaids needed to arrive for hair and makeup so that everyone would know what to expect. Jackie showed up on time and set up stations in the room so that her team could get to work as soon as they arrived. She started on my hair and makeup and ensured that I was comfortable the whole way through. The end result was STUNNING! Even prettier than my trial. The bridesmaids and moms all looked great – her team did a fantastic job! The best part is that everyone was done well before the photographer arrived! I also asked Jackie to touch up the groom to ensure he looked presentable in photos and he was well groomed and looked perfect. Our wedding was outside on quite possibly the hottest day of the year and my makeup should have melted off, but I looked just as fresh by the end of the evening as I did earlier in the day with few touchups! I am still amazed. This woman knows what she’s doing! Jackie has a great personality and will put you at ease. If you’re looking for someone to perform the beauty services for your wedding, I would highly recommend Jackie!

I reached out to Jackie about my wedding next year and she responded immediately. We spoke on the phone which I appreciated instead of just getting a generic email with pricing and quotes. I told her what I was looking for etc. and gave her an idea of my overall vision. I booked her for a trial on a Thursday morning when I was doing my engagement shoot and she could not have been more accommodating! She was more than happy to travel to my apt, was incredibly professional and safe (given covid) and worked around me as I was still putting in a full day of work. My hair and makeup turned out amazingly beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted. I showed her pictures, and she customized it to me. She was very honest in her assessment of what she could do for me now, and how I could better my skin and hair for my wedding. I truly appreciated her candidness. You could tell she wanted me to look good, not just necessarily give me what I wanted. In addition, she was so much fun to talk to and hang out with. I would thoroughly recommend her and cannot wait to work with her again!

When looking into hairstylists and makeup artists for my wedding I felt overwhelmed by the number that were laid out in front of me. Not knowing who could tackle my short hair style along with the long hair my bridesmaids, I needed someone who has a strong understanding of hair. I had known Jackie from high school and had heard that she had become a hairstylist in New York, so I knew she had made it big, and reached out to see if she could help me out. She responded so quickly. She explained her process, and had more questions about the wedding, the style, everything that would be important to know to make the hair and makeup just right. When she came out to do the test, I explained to her the hairstyle I wanted, what my bridesmaids could do with their hair, and she took the idea and ran with it. I wan't sure exactly how I wanted it, but she somehow knew and made it perfect. Fast forward to wedding day; she arrived right on time, in fact I am pretty sure she was early, but knocked on the door right at arrival time. She jumped in with her assistant and they got right to work. She was fast, but fun and professional, all at the same time. When the time came to dress, she made sure I didn't do anything to mess up my make up or hair. Once it was time to go, she made sure to put all the finishing touches up for Church and we were on our way. After the church wedding Jackie stayed around because the forecast called for rain, and oh boy did it rain. Jackie made sure the hair never faltered, cleaned up any flyaways before the pictures and even made sure the make up was still on point. Jackie was such a pleasure to have for my wedding. She never skipped a beat, even with the humidity and the rain, and I would call her to do my hair all the time if I could.

Jackie was amazing! She took all of the photos, thoughts, and ideas I had and made them come to life. She was compassionate and realistic about what my hair would do but also wasted no time in getting to work when we had our run through. She also has such a magnetic personality that put me to ease on the day of my wedding, it was so helpful to have a calming presence on the day of. Could not recommend her MORE! She is the best. Thanks for making my day a dream!
