Simply Amazing

I cannot recommend Mayed Up, specifically, Elaine and Nga enough. I was planning an out-of-state wedding and STRUGGLING to find a hair and makeup vendor that would work with my schedule for a trial and then day-of, not to mention, I've never had to find someone to do my hair and makeup before. Not only did Elaine accommodate my schedule, she communicated everything to expect, set up a schedule for day-of that she followed to a T, and allowed me to make last minute changes, like when my mother-in-law had her makeup person fall through less than a week before the wedding or when I decided I wanted a warmer toned look rather than cooler colors. Both my mom and mother-in-law had never had their makeup or hair done before and they raved about how professional, kind and talented both Elaine and Nga were.

Hair and makeup are two of the most important parts of turning out a dream wedding look and Mayed Up far exceeded any expectations I ever had. Elaine is by far one of the easiest people to work with and rest assured, you are in great hands when you use their services.

First time makeover!! Great experience.

The artist was a dream to work with. I reached out to her about doing a full makeover and we planned my appointment based on my event. She was very comfortable and easy to plan with, she provided a few ideas on potential looks with both hair and makeup. She was responsive and considerate of the look I was trying to achieve, and she was very confident she could provide the look I wanted. We planned a day and time, very easy and she provided directions to her studio. When I arrived, she met me on her front steps and I knew I scheduled/hired the right stylist. She has a great personality and i felt very comfortable as she we worked on my look. During the appointment, she was easy to talk to and we laughed a lot. I felt at ease and knew I would love my new look. After hair and makeup was done, I was so happy with my look. She did an amazing job with my makeover and I felt wonderful. My friends commented numerous times on how great I looked. I loved it. I would definitely schedule her again!!

Elaine is the best!

Elaine is amazing! She is a true artist and perfectionist. She did a fantastic job with my make up and I got a ton of compliments! My make up lasted the entire night and she took the time to explain what to do with touch ups. She truly cares about how you look. I highly recommend her!!!

Extremely easy going

Elaine did my makeup for my wedding in April 2018. She was attentive to my concerns of my acne scars and was able to cover it up nicely. I didn't want the makeup to look heavy but she was able to completely cover my acne scars and it looked so natural. Would highly recommend her!

Amazing skill & customer service

Where do I start?? Elaine was nothing but top notch from the minute we began communicating via The Knot. She was always quick to respond, flexible with my crazy schedule for my trial, and was so amazing the day of. Her five star customer service matches her amazing make up skills. It was a bonus that she's an awesome person who is lovely to spend time with. I felt beautiful the day of and my bridesmaids felt the same. I would recommend her to anyone in the Philly area. You will receive 5 star service all around! Thank you Elaine for being one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

Elaine was one of the only people who I've worked with for make-up that made me feel ABSOLUTELY beautiful. She pays attention to detail, is very personal, and truly cares about whether or not you like your makeup. Every kept complimenting me on my hair/makeup and it last all night. Additionally, she did hair/makeup for my mom and she felt just as beautiful as well. I am so glad to have gotten to know her through our time speaking before the wedding. My bridesmaids were also in love with their hair too, and I am so glad overall because everyone felt good about themselves too.

Highly recommend her

Elaine done my wedding makeup and I could not be happier about it. Everything turned out just perfect.
If you want the natural, yet sexy look, Elaine is your girl.
She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version! (both at the trial and the day of) and always checks in to see if you like it or not, or if you want less or more.
Not only did the makeup look great in pictures but it lasted for the entire day and night. (Through laughs and tears and dancing sweats :)
Beyond the beautiful makeup, Elaine was so easy to work with. She is an incredibly sweet person with a very calming personality.!On what can be a stressful day, it was wonderful to have someone who was so happy, relaxed, and attentive around. I would highly highly recommend her!

The best in Philadelphia!

Elaine and her team are the best! Elaine did my make up and Nga did my hair for my engagement pictures and wedding day. Elaine was extremely helpful and sweet during the entire process — from planning a schedule for me and my bridesmaids the day of the wedding to accommodating different looks. Elaine and Kiersten made my bridesmaids look stunning and Elaine made my mom look oh so glamorous!! Elaine and her team even finished ahead of schedule and that allowed me more time to take pictures before the ceremony.

Nga, the hair stylist, did an amazing job with my updo. I have a lot of hair and she was able to make my hair stay in place 14+ hours!

Kiersten did a really classy look on one of my bridesmaids with old Hollywood waves. I was in LOVE with that.

Absolutely aMAYEzing!

Love, love, love Elaine and her Mayed Up team!! She was absolutely the best decision I made when it came to my wedding planning. She was super responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns I had. My makeup and hair trial were so fun, and were a great help in gauging what kind of look I wanted for my wedding. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and just looked stunning. She and her team are so hardworking, started off their morning at 3:30 am and worked nonstop to beautify 8 people altogether for my day. She brings out your best features and makes you look flawless, so effortlessly. I would love to work with Elaine again for future events!
