The ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience — truly made my day perfect

I cannot say enough amazing things about my Michelle and her team! From the moment we started, she was warm, professional, and so attentive to every little detail. She really listened to what I wanted and somehow made me look and feel like the most elevated, radiant version of myself — still natural, still me, just absolutely flawless.

My makeup photographed beautifully, lasted through happy tears, hugs, dancing, and hours of celebrating, and still looked fresh all night. The quality and skill were beyond anything I could have imagined.

What meant the most to me was that she came back later to personally touch up my makeup before the big moments. That extra care made me feel so special and stress-free — I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and that level of dedication speaks volumes.

She didn’t just do my makeup — she helped make my entire day feel calm, confident, and magical.

If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely invested in making you feel your absolute best, book her immediately. I would choose her again a thousand times over! 💄✨

Couldn't have asked for a better HMUA! Thank you Michelle

Choosing the right hair and makeup artist was one of the most important decisions for me—I don’t wear much makeup day-to-day, and the thought of going full glam made me nervous because I wanted to still look like myself. Michelle came highly recommended by my sister-in-law, who used her for her own wedding, and from the moment I connected with Michelle and team, I knew I was in great hands.

Michelle traveled all the way from New Jersey to Boston for our September 2025 wedding. She is so talented and was organized, and incredibly prepared from start to finish. We did my bridal trial about two months before the wedding, and she was so patient and insightful—walking me through multiple hairstyle options and adjusting my makeup based on my personal preferences. By the end of the trial, I felt completely at ease knowing my day-of look would feel natural, elevated, and me.

On the wedding day, Michelle and Taylor tag-teamed hair and makeup for me, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. They were both so kind and calming, thanks to the very structured schedule Michelle provided ahead of time, the entire morning ran smoothly and stress-free.

The final results were stunning. My bridal party and I felt so beautiful, and my hair and makeup lasted through hours of photos and a full night of dancing. I’m so grateful Michelle traveled to be part of our day—she made me feel like the best version of myself. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful and Professional Services! Your Bridal Beauty Bestie :)

Michelle Elise Artistry was a referral through my friend Lizzie, and we couldn’t have made a better choice for hair and make up services for our wedding! Michelle was so calm, caring, and of course talented with hair and makeup services! I selected one of her higher packages, which meant that she stayed with me right until before the ceremony began, ensuring that my hair and makeup were flawless at all times! I would highly recommend this service if hair and makeup is something that is also really important to you! Michelle, of course gathered a great team of hair and makeup artist for my bridal party and the moms, and everyone loved their hair and makeup! It was such a pleasure working with Michelle and her colleague Laura pre-wedding - they made booking, paying, and scheduling so easy! Hiring MEA was one of the best wedding decisions I made :)

Love this team!!

Kristin and team was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding! She did my makeup, as well as makeup for my family and friends, and everyone looked and felt beautiful. She really listened to what each person wanted and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy with their look. My makeup lasted perfectly all day and night. Kristin was cool, professional, and such a lovely presence to have on the morning of my wedding — I couldn’t recommend her more.

So grateful for Michelle!

I feel so lucky to have had Michelle and her team for hair and makeup on my wedding day. Michelle is truly one of one - she is the consummate professional, knows her craft inside and out, and is very talented (she does both hair and makeup flawlessly; most artists only do one). Michelle herself is a very calming and positive presence which is very needed in the chaos of a wedding day! Every single member of my bridal party loved their hair and makeup which is not always the case. Do yourself a favor and book Michelle and her team. I am so glad I did. Thank you for everything, Michelle!

9.26.2026 Wedding Review

I had a wonderful experience working with Sabrina during my trial and on my wedding day. She and her teammates did a phenomenal job listening to my needs and wants along with my family’s/bridesmaid’s needs and wants. We all ended up with gorgeous makeup and hair that stayed all night. One little note I will make is that on some photos with flashback, my under eyes looked white likely from the setting powder (photos show the difference in film vs. normal).This is minor though and only in a few photos. Otherwise our makeup stayed all night with minimal touch ups!! I couldn’t have been happier with communication and timeliness as well. I would highly recommend their services and recommend Sabrina as the lead MUA!

Amazing!

I used Michelle Elise for my wedding in August of 2025. I would 10/10 recommend!! The artists professionalism and talent is unmatched. Both artists did a great job of making me look like myself on my wedding day but just BETTER !!

Tracy ( hair ): Tracy worked magic with my fine hair. I am very insecure about my fine hair , however , I really wanted to wear it down. She did an amazing job at making my hair look natural while still looking glamorous. It also lasted all day / night long !! She also did wonderful updos for both my mom and best friend. They both felt so confident and beautiful. She is truly is magician.

Cassi ( makeup ): I have many problem areas such as rosacea and dark circles. Cassi was able to conceal both of these problem areas while still making me look so natural. My skin looked flawless and I still am getting compliments weeks after my wedding. She also worked wonders with my mom who has mature skin. She was able to enhance her natural beauty without looking cakey or overdone.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Michelle Elise particularly Tracy and Cassi !!! You will not regret it !

Michelle is incredible!

Michelle and her team are incredible! I am so happy that I booked Michelle for my wedding day - easily one of the best decisions I ever made. I truly have never in my life felt as beautiful as I did that day, because of her. I have pretty thin hair and I never thought I could look like some of the brides I see on Instagram and Pinterest, but she transformed my hair! My hair was BETTER than any picture I found on Pinterest. People were coming up to me all night telling me how awesome it was. And, it stayed beautiful all night!

I honestly think Michelle has have telepathic powers. She just got what I wanted without me having to say much - I’ve never felt more understood by an artist. She understood the curl type I wanted after just a couple of inspo pics - knew the nuances of all the different types of curls I could be choosing between (glam waves, true curls, etc), and where I wanted those curls to fall on my back, my face, etc. She asked me specific questions and is a great communicator. Michelle is also the kindest, most genuine person ever. She was such a joy to get to know at my trial and have at my wedding morning. She went above and beyond touching up our hair before pictures, too. She is so dedicated!

And I need to mention how thorough my hair trial was with her even before the wedding day. She created multiple hair looks for me to see, complete with a lace-trim robe she let me borrow as a "veil" - I'm telling you, she goes above and beyond. I left that day feeling so excited and so beautiful!

The Best!!!

Michelle and her team will make your wedding day hair dreams come true. Michelle truly cares about making your vision come to life. She is incredibly talented and kind. From our trial, to the big day I felt so confident and comfortable working with Michelle. She was my favorite vendor to work with after leaving the trial. Planning a wedding can be stressful and it’s so helpful to have someone who makes you feel so at ease. Michelle and her team go above and beyond. My hair did not move! All my curls stayed perfect. Her attention to detail and dedication to her work is shown through her beautiful styles. I am so grateful I found her!
