Fantastic experience!

My experience with Liesel was absolutely wonderful. She was kind and communicative since the initial phone call. Liesel and her team were professional and did a fantastic job with hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and family members. I felt at ease throughout the bridal trial process and during the day of the wedding. I highly recommend True Vermont Beauty to any bride!

Absolutely wonderful!

Lisel did a fantastic job providing hair and makeup services for my attendants and me on my wedding day! She worked with each of us to identify the looks we wanted, and from natural to more dramatic looks, everybody loved the result! It was the first time I had airbrush makeup done and I absolutely loved it. Plus, we had such a fun time getting ready with her! She is a great person to have around on your wedding day and I highly recommend her services.

Wonderful Experience

Liesel was wonderful to work with! I knew I wanted an updo for my wedding, and her execution was perfect. She was very flexible and worked with us to develop a timeline to ensure we weren't rushing. I highly recommend working with her!

Look no Further for Bridal Needs



Liesel’s team was professional, timely and so attuned to everyone’s needs. Even with one of my more challenging family members, they handled her difficulties with grace, kindness & class. I was so nervous going into my wedding day that how I hoped to feel about my hair and makeup was going to be difficult to execute. Instead, True Beauty VT made me feel the most beautiful I’ve EVER felt, and was so responsive to my suggestions and feedback around my color preferences. I truly appreciated so much of how they made myself and my wedding party feel on this day. It was truly the best day of my life, and in part thanks to True Beauty VT. I cannot recommend them enough. Not to mention they brought an amazing playlist that had everyone feeling playful and joyful. My hair and makeup lasted alllll day- and I mean it and my curls fell exactly how I wanted them to- and when I explained in very amateur terms how I wanted them to be different from my trial Liesel understood exactly and switched it. Not to mention- as someone with sensitive skin, even 3 days after my wedding there are no breakouts to be seen.

Highly recommend!

I, and my entire wedding party, had the most incredible experience with True Vermont Beauty! Liesel is not only extremely talented in her craft, but she is also one of the kindest, most down to earth people you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. She will approach your special day with calmness, patience, flexibility (thank you for fitting my Mom’s hair in last minute!), and attention to detail. And she will make the getting ready process SO much fun! One of the most important elements that sets Liesel apart from the rest is that she is an excellent communicator and collaborator - she truly listens and works with you, through any and all adjustments and changes. She will help you create the perfect look that will not only make you feel beyond beautiful, but also the most comfortable and confident in your own skin. And this experience isn’t just for the bride, it’s extended to the entire wedding party. All of my bridesmaids and the moms were so excited about their own looks - they’re still talking about it a month later! My hair and makeup was perfection, and despite it being a very windy and rainy day/evening, my look lasted through it all. Thank you SO much Liesel! You and Andrea made my day even more special than I could’ve ever imagined!

Amazing!!!

Liesel and her daughter Andrea were simply the best. Their professionalism, humor, and talent were such a perfect addition to our day. Liesel took any comments from our trials and masterfully made the updates with no questions asked. Andrea is such a talented hair stylist and was so dedicated to making everyone feel comfortable. Do not think twice, they are perfection!!

Great addition to our big day!

I booked True Vermont Beauty for my October wedding and I am so glad I did. I always do my own hair and make up for big events and I was worried about having someone else do it for me. I wanted to look like myself ( but a little more glam) and Liesel really listened to my vision made my bridesmaids and I look amazing!! Although my wedding was far from my house and I could't make it to my trial, she eased all of my concerns and made me feel confident. She's calm and professional and will make you feel your best!

Liesel made everyone look so beautiful and also feel beautiful. She perfectly fulfilled my vision of the old Hollywood bride. I loved it! She was so easy to work with and fun to hang out with for the day. Liesel and her daughter executed everyone’s hair and makeup dreams and I highly recommend her and True Vermont Beauty.

Pure Talent

If you’re looking for a perfect wedding morning with an amazing hair and makeup team- True Vermont Beauty is it. Liesel, Andrea, and Lea made sure our morning was seamless and on time. They work so well together, asking for each other’s opinions and assistance to get everyone looking and feeling their best. We had a larger group and the way they worked together as a team made the morning so smooth and zero chaos. Lea was a huge part of this team getting everyone prepped for their services and helping start services. She was so kind and helped everyone figure out what would look best for lip color. Andrea is a blast, we had such a great time chatting with her and her skills for doing hair are incredible. Liesel is truly a master at her craft. I’ll start by saying her communication throughout planning was instant and made me feel heard, and understood what I wanted. The trial was so fun getting to know her and I left feeling with the most trust in the team I picked. I changed a lot after my trial but was so happy because the trial truly let me understand what I wanted- and Liesel supported every change I made, I never hesitated to tell her I wanted something different and she embraced all of it. All of our bridesmaids were thrilled with their makeup- most wanting a natural look and all walked away stunning. We had a few bridesmaids ask about products and techniques to replicate the look again. It was such a nice touch that everyone gets to keep their makeup brushes too. As the bride I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team. I felt like myself and truly beautiful all day. They are an amazing group, personable, and truly talented and I am so grateful for them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
