Marcella is the sweetest hair stylist with the talent to match!

Marcella is such a high-energy, bubbly personality, and she made all of my girls look absolutely wonderful across a number of diverse hair styles. Of note, I did a trial with Marcella in August 2024 but I had a number of notes by the end of the day. The day of the wedding in October 2024, Marcella was able to update my look based on my feedback to really make me feel like the most beautiful and bridal version of me (and she even cut my face framing pieces day-of to perfect the look). She also spent a ton of time with my mom (i.e. giving her 3 different hairstyles) and was so patient and accommodating in making sure my mom felt like her most beautiful self. My hair stayed all day (even being on the dance floor the entire time) without the need for any touchups. I would easily use Marcella again in a heartbeat!

The best!!!

Marcella is an absolute sweetheart. She goes above and beyond to make you feel special. I chose a style that wasn’t that similar to anything I saw on her page and she still did it perfectly! Super talented stylist. You won’t regret booking with her.

Marcella is the best!

I highly, highly recommend working with Marcella! She did such a beautiful job on my hair, and she was also just a delight to be around on the wedding morning. We did a trial, which I recommend, if only to hang out with Marcella more! Seriously, she is a hair wizard and so sweet. If I lived locally, I would go to her for all of my hair needs.

(Also, she threw some product in my husband’s hair that kept it tame all day, so if you have a husband with an unruly mop, she’s got you covered on that front, too!)

Amazing talent and the kindest heart!

Do not hesitate and book Marcella for your wedding day hair and make-up ASAP! She is extremely talented and in addition the sweetest human being I ever met. After seeing her beautiful work on instagram and countless 5 star reviews, I reached out to see if she was available for my wedding. After talking to her on the phone, I knew she was meant to be apart of my wedding day and booked her instantly (with no trial or any personal recs) and it was one of the best decisions I made! She has the kindest heart and within minutes of meeting her, you feel as you have been besties for years. She not only does hair and make-up but becomes your go-to wedding day therapist!! Leading up to the wedding, she was so flexible with day of time changes and had such patience with me coordinating all logistics! She brought such amazing energy on wedding morning and become the official hype woman for all my girls. All my bridesmaids and both my mom and MIL loved her as well! I appreciated that she returned on wedding day to do touch ups to make sure everyone kept feeling beautiful all day long. Without a doubt, I would a million percent recommend Marcella to everyone! Between her personality, her crazy talent for both hair and make-up, and her reasonable prices.... it is a no brainer!

Thank you!

Marcella did my hair and makeup for my February 2022 wedding and i could not recommend her enough! We got married on an exceptionally windy day and I was so worried about how my hair would hold up. My hair and makeup was flawless the entire night!! My bridesmaids all looked stunning and were raving about how much they loved their hair and makeup. Marcella made each and everyone of us feel so comfortable and beautiful. Do yourself a favor and book Marcella for your next event!

Thank you!

Marcella was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had a major snowstorm hit New York and unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to the next day. Marcella answered right away and was onboard throughout the entire process. , which definitely put my mind at ease! My hair was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! She brought my vision of a low ponytail to life and it stayed the ENTIRE night. Everyone in my bridal party raved about their hair and loved it! She was organized the entire day and was always updating me on time schedule. She did not rush through anyone's hair and paid attention to detail for each and every person. I would 100% recommend Marcella for any upcoming weddings.

100% would recommend! A dream to work with!

Marcella is the best hair stylist EVER! She gave me my dream hair for my wedding day!!! It came out better than the inspiration photos I showed her, luxurious, full and natural looking. She truly exceeded my expectations in every way and is also super sweet.

I HIGHLY recommend Marcella to any one who wants a stunning look that will last all day/night long! My Godsister also booked her for her upcoming wedding and I am confident that she will exceed expectations again.

Thank you Marcella, I can't wait for you to do my hair again! XO

11/8/2020 Wedding with Marcella

Marcella was a DREAM to work with. I saw a few hairstyles that she posted on her instagram and website and showed them to her. She knew exactly the style I wanted for my wedding and wound up suggesting a style I hadn't thought of, and it was the one I picked. I loved that her instagram was so full of photos so I could really figure out what I liked and didn't like. She also did my make up, and I loved it at well. My hair and make up stayed for the entire day. She was so easy to talk to and anything I didn't like was not an issue to change. The morning of my wedding getting ready with her and my girls went so smoothly. With all the craziness due to Covid she made me feel so at ease and not stressed at all. I can't wait to work with her again for my big wedding next year!

Best wedding hair stylist!

Hiring Marcella for my wedding day was the best decision I could have made! I have known Marcella since middle school, so when I started searching for a hair stylist, I was happy to see her name pop up. I could see from her Instagram page and reviews online, that she was very talented. Marcella was so friendly and easy to work with. Even through all of the chaos of Covid-19, which ended up with us changing both our date and bridal suite location, Marcella was incredibly flexible and accommodating. During my trial, Marcella styled my hair beautifully, but I felt that the style I chose didn’t really feel like “me”, so Marcella helped me change it to have the look I was going for, but more in line with my personality. I also have difficult texture to my hair, and usually have trouble styling it. I got my hair professionally done for prom and it was basically an awful frizzy poof so I was thrilled that Marcella knew how to work with my difficult hair, leaving it shiny, smooth, and sleek looking. I left feeling confident and beautiful, ready for the big day! We worked together to come up with a schedule for the morning of the wedding that would allow for hair and makeup to be done for each person without any overlaps. Day of, Marcella arrived on time and stuck to the schedule to make sure each bridesmaid was available to get their makeup done on time. All of my bridesmaids chose different styles and they all turned out absolutely gorgeous. My mom’s hair looked so glamorous and beautiful too! Marcella did my hair last with the hairstyle I liked from the trial. It looked so beautiful and really complimented my makeup and dress. Our wedding was on a hot day in August and our reception was outdoors. My hair held up the entire night! Even through all of the weather and dancing, not a single hair fell out of place or became frizzy. I took my hair out around 3:30am and it looked as if it had just been done. I am so happy with my experience hiring Marcella. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Marcella is the best!

I booked Marcella immediately following my trial 6 months before my wedding. She answered every email I sent promptly and professionally, and was super accommodating even when I changed the times a bunch. On the day of the wedding she was able to calm my nerves and nailed the look I was going for. She is so talented at what she does, is an incredible artist and business woman and on top of that is just the sweetest person you’ll ever meet! I never felt more beautiful, and my make up and hair lasted all night. All my bridesmaids looked gorgeous. I would recommend her in a second!!
