About this vendor

Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful, and completely taken care of. That’s the energy I bring- organized, steady, and “we’re good, everything’s handled.” Brides often tell me it feels like they’re getting ready with an old friend- which is one of the best compliments I could receive.

Hi! I’m Jessica, owner of Serene Beauty. I’m a licensed esthetician and cosmetologist with over a decade of experience, serving 45–70 weddings each year since 2016 throughout the New York Capital Region and beyond.

My goal is not only for you to look amazing, but to feel calm, confident, and completely Serene.

I provide on-location makeup and hair services for brides and bridal parties, along with bridal trials, special event services, and facial treatments in my salon suite in Latham, New York. Every look is fully customized with an in-depth consultation, because beauty is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re envisioning soft and natural or elevated glam, your look will be tailored specifically to you.

I am able to accommodate many parties on my own. For larger groups, when needed, I bring in very talented independent makeup and hair artists whom I've personally worked alongside for years.

Serene Beauty is an all-inclusive, safe space for everyone. Always.

Let's connect- I'd hear more about your wedding day!

Book Immediately!!

12/10!! Jessica is amazing! If your date is available book immediately!!! I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Jessica was the best to work with. Her communication was perfect and she went over every detail in advance. We did a trial and I was blown away. On the day of my wedding I had 7 girls who needed their makeup/lashes done so she brought a second artist. Jessica had the schedule set so that everything ran smoothly. She is extremely talented and has such a sweet personality! We were so lucky to have her for my wedding! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Exceptional! 🤍

Jessica is AMAZING! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding makeup artist. First and foremost, she is such a beautiful person (inside and out). She is incredibly talented, and her passion for her work is evident in everything she does. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was very responsive, attentive, and always made sure every detail was taken care of. Whenever I had questions, she always answered them so clearly and thoroughly. I’m very particular when it comes to makeup, and from the moment I first met Jessica at my makeup trial and described my vision, she brought it to life PERFECTLY. She completely understood the look I wanted and executed it flawlessly. I was blown away! On my wedding day, she brought such a calming presence to the morning and made the entire getting-ready experience so enjoyable. Jessica made me feel absolutely radiant and confident on my wedding day. My makeup photographed beautifully, lasted all day and night, and still felt like me. Jessica brought along a second artist, Lisa, who was also amazing! Jessica and Lisa took the BEST care of all my girls, and everyone looked gorgeous! They easily managed to get a large group of girls ready beautifully and efficiently while keeping the morning calm and stress-free. I am beyond grateful that Jessica was a part of my wedding day. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is incredibly talented, professional, and truly cares about making you feel your absolute best. Jessica is truly 5 stars and beyond! I will be looking for any excuse to get my makeup done with her again in the future! 💕

Amazing natural makeup artist!

I cannot recommend Jessica enough! From the very beginning, she completely understood my vision. I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, just an elevated version and she absolutely nailed it.

My makeup felt light, natural, and timeless. It enhanced my features without ever feeling heavy or overdone, and I still looked like me in every photo. It lasted through happy tears, hours of celebrating, and a full night of dancing without needing constant touch-ups.

Beyond her incredible talent, she was such a calming presence on a day that can feel overwhelming. She made getting ready feel relaxed and fun, and I trusted her completely due to her diligence and organization throughout the wedding planning process.

She’s like a fairy godmother!

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for I was so lucky to have such a fantastic makeup artist for my wedding! My makeup looked absolutely beautiful, natural, and stayed put all day and night. Even after only 4 hours of sleep, it didn’t show in any of the photos. She made me feel like I had had an 8-hour beauty sleep for my big day. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel so confident and special. She also did amazing work with my family and friends! We all love her work. She’s professional, talented, and wonderful to work with—I highly recommend her to any bride! ✨💍💕
