    Incredible, natural-looking glam!

    Allison and her team (shoutout to Cassie and Sarah!) were an absolute DREAM to work with for my wedding in August. Beyond their skill as hair and makeup artists, they were also so kind, warm, and flexible, even driving from all over New England to get to our Airbnb for a 7am start time. All of my ladies looked incredible, even those who don't usually wear much makeup (all commented that it was the best hair/makeup service they've ever had), and they made my seven-year-old niece look and feel like a princess! Allison knocked my hair and makeup out of the park – I felt like an enhanced version of myself, not overdone, and the makeup didn't budge all night. Highest of recommendations. Thank you Allison!!!

    15/10 Would Recommend

    I am extremely picky about hair and makeup and was thrilled with the services that Allison and her team provided. Allison was so professional, kind, and talented. Even my mother, who is pickier than me, was happy with how she looked. This team even went above and beyond to fit our rescheduled wedding into their busy calendar. I would hire Beautifully Unafraid again in a heartbeat and will also be recommending the same to my friends.

    Magical Makeup!

    My hair and makeup on my wedding day was pure perfection! I was probably the most annoying bride because I had no idea what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. All I did was show my wedding dress and jewelry, provide my hair piece and answered a few brief questions. The magic these ladies performed was incomparable to anything I have ever seen. My makeup was natural and long lasting. My hair was so secure, intricate and enhanced my wedding day look.
    You will not regret booking anyone from this team. They are so talented, patient and professional! Allison had a phone consultation with me and was extremely patient and understanding as I had my screaming toddler in the background. Instead of hanging up or telling me to call back later, she used the moment to connect with me. I am so happy to have found Allison and would suggest her to anyone!

    Amazing Vendor!

    Allison and her team were absolutely amazing! From the first day I met her, I knew she could capture the style I was going for on my wedding day! She was incredibly flexible throughout my multiple reschedules due to COVID. Our makeup and hair were flawless the whole day!

    My hair was stunning!

    Allison and her team were so great to work with, from the booking to the trial and on to my big day. Having a wedding during COVID was obviously not ideal, but I was so relieved that I was able to still have a trial with Allison. She worked my hair piece into a number of different styles and allowed me to make a decision day of on how I wanted to wear it. She even hung around during my makeup application to handle any touchups my hair needed. I received a ton of compliments on it.

    Allison is a true artist

    Allison is the absolute best. She is so kind and easy to work with. All of my bridesmaids said they had never loved their makeup more and they all plan on hiring her when they get married! We had the most perfect wedding day and Allison made sure we all looked beautiful!

    Wedding Hair & Makeup!

    Allison and her partner did an amazing job on everyone’s hair and makeup for my wedding. They work hard to make sure you feel beautiful and also make sure anything they do will last all night long. I highly recommend them!

    Allison is excellent!

    Allison was the hair stylist for my wedding day. She was amazing! She was friendly and so easy to work with. She got my hair exactly how I envisioned it and it looked great in all the pictures. She did various different styles for my bridesmaids as well. She got everyone's hair exactly how they wanted it whether it was just curls or an updo. I highly recommend booking Allison for your wedding day!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I just had my wedding on 6/12/22. I can not explain how beautiful my makeup came out. I went for a full glam look and Allison gave me exactly that!! She was very professional and was by my side every step of the way. She also provided me with a makeup timeline and we ended up ahead of schedule which was awesome! She also left me with a makeup bag to touch up my lip stick and a few other goodies. I would recommend beautifully unafraid to everyone!!

    Allison is the best!

    Allison has done my make-up several times for night outs and also as a bridesmaid. She is so professional and responds quickly to any questions. She listens to exactly what you’re looking for and is genuinely honest. She uses the best products and the make-up just always looks perfect. More importantly, she is always pleasant and friendly and adds to the fun of the day! I just had to have her on my wedding day and thankfully she wasn’t booked yet 😊

    Feeling Beautiful

    Allison did an amazing and incredible job on makeup and hair for me. She was recommended by my photographer, and listened to what I was looking for on my big day. She had a team to come provider makeup and hair for my 8 bridesmaids and me. I would highly recommend her work!!

    Wedding day hair and makeup

    Allison had done my hair and makeup before, many years ago, for a fun girls night out when we were younger. Back then she was amazing, and now... she’s absolutely incredible! I reached out originally for makeup, and then ended up having her do everyone’s hair as well!

    I had my trial for both my hair and makeup together, and when I looked in the mirror, all I could say was “YES! It’s PERFECT!” I felt beautiful! I was done up more than I’ve ever been before, but still natural and I still looked like myself!

    Throughout the process up until the wedding, I had sent a few emails with questions and she was very quick to reply and professional. She was also very flexible with situations such as more girls deciding they wanted their hair and makeup done at the last minute.

    She truly knows what she’s doing. I’m a wedding photographer, so I see hair and makeup done by many different artists each weekend. I can honestly say her work is some of the absolute BEST I’ve seen. She also worked with each girl with what they wanted for their look, while keeping the look of everyone consistent overall so that we all looked amazing as a group! Everyone looked so gorgeous!

    On my wedding day, she was on time (bright and early) and ready to go. We got started at 7am as we planned for a 2pm first look. We needed to finish all hair and makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and two mothers. Her and her team finished by about noon time. The girls and I had plenty of time to get ready without being rushed everything got started!

    Lastly, Allison is super sweet, funny, and just really makes you feel comfortable and relaxed! I would not only recommend her again and again but I would say hiring her should be a MUST on your wedding to-do list.

    A super talented, natural ARTIST, Allison!

    I knew Allison for many years prior to my wedding date of 2/10/19, as she did my makeup before for weddings/events/etc. As soon as I got engaged and started to plan my wedding, there was no doubt in my mind that Allison was going to be my makeup artist :) My experience with Alison prior to the wedding date in regard to emails/texts, answers to my questions was spot-on. She was always available and explained every step of the process with me. Her professionalism is on-point, she was made for this! I was super sick the day of my trial and Allison made me feel relaxed and calm, offered me a water, made me laugh and didn't let me leave until I was 100% satisfied with the final product.

    My experience during the wedding in regard to timeliness was PERFECT. She showed up early, got set-up and stayed exactly to schedule. She even had time to touch-up all the girls lips which was nice! The quality of makeup lasted all day and night! We even looked like beauty queens the next morning ;) The interaction between Allison and my bridal party was so natural. Allison made everyone feel comfortable and was chatting away with all the girls as if they knew her as long as I have, it was refreshing! EVERYONE loved their makeup and we all got so many compliments at the wedding and when my pictures came out!

    I would recommend Allison to any future Bride! She is unbelievable and you will not be disappointed! Whatever look you are going for, she will NAIL!

    Thank you so much Allison, you are a super talented, natural ARTIST. Xo

    Absolutely amazing!

    It was a pleasure to work with Allison!! From day 1 she had been available to any calls/texts/emails/concerns I had to prepare for my big day. She is kind, genuine, and listens to what you like/dislike in order to make you feel beautiful for your special day! I received so many compliments on my makeup on the day of my wedding, what more could a bride ask for?! 5 stars for Allison❤️

    Makeup Artist for Wedding

    Allison did all the makeup for my wedding 10-20-2018. She comes with over a decade experience and is very knowledgeable about products and application. She can easily work with all skin types. She is friendly and prompt in response to questions. She was more expensive than the person I had previously hired but her work was of much higher quality.

    Would recommend Allison to future brides!

    I found Allison through my hairdresser, who is her sister. I'd heard about Allison for years from her sister and was happy to give her a shot for my wedding. Allison was extremely attentive, did her research, and produced beautiful work. I was looking for something Indian and Allison was able to recreate pictures and even bring my jumbled thoughts to life without much direction. Her price included a trial session, and engagement photos session, and the wedding day application. I was very impressed at her product knowledge and her ability to just make it happen, even I wasn't sure. I would recommend Allison to anyone looking for bridal makeup. She made me feel so special throughout the process, and she even stayed a bit longer to help out with hair and other tasks. So pleased!

    Highly Recommend!

    Allison was the best make-up artist I could have possibly had for my perfect day. She was incredibly responsive leading up to the wedding and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. Being someone that does not regularly wear a lot of make-up I was worried that I would look "weird" or simply not like myself. Instead, I looked like a polished version of myself and felt truly beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Allison to a friend and actually already have!

    Perfection!

    Besides choosing my groom, choosing Allison of Beauitfully unafraid was one of the best decision I made for our wedding! Allison sweet nature makes her the easiest person to work with. I had done my hair trail 3 months prior to my wedding and had decided only 2 weeks before my wedding I wanted to change my hair style. Allison was so accommodating of the changes and was so reassuring that it would all turn out perfectly. Which it of course did! My hair turned out even better than I imagined. Allison even stayed after all of the bridesmaids had finished their hair in order to help my mom perfectly place my veil and not ruin my hair. She made us all feel so relaxed on our morning of jitters. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Allison, I am forever grateful!

    5 Stars for Allison!

    Allison is what every bride is looking for in a makeup artist for their big day! She really listens to exactly what you want your look to be and goes above and beyond to make sure you get just that. On the day of, she is kind, professional, and relaxed and her overall excitement to be a part of the wedding process clearly shows. Every lady in my wedding party looked absolutely beautiful and I am still getting compliments on my makeup 7 months after my wedding!

    I would also like to point out that when she commits to a bride she does not take it lightly. After my big day I was made aware that Allison had some personal situations arise on the morning of my wedding, but she showed up not only early, but with a big smile on her face.

    For all of the reasons listed above and so many more I cannot recommend Allison enough!

    If I could leave more than 5 stars I would have ! Not only did Allison do my makeup and hair for my wedding she did bridal shower, engagement shoot, and boudoir shoot. Each time she did a different look that worked with exactly what I was wearing and the setting for the photos! She is extremely professional, reliable, and extremely talented. She was one of the easiest decisions I made while wedding planning and turned out to be the best decision I made. My makeup was flawless, hair amazing, I felt beautiful and I love my photos that much more ! My bridesmaids and MOB and MOG looked amazing and felt beautiful too. I cannot say enough about Allison, I clearly think very highly of her ! I would just like to add by 11 PM on my wedding night my body was sweaty from dancing but my makeup remained intact on a muggy July night ! I think if you did not book Allison your doing yourself and your wedding a disservice !!!

    Book Alison ASAP! She's so talented.

    Alison and her team were absolutely amazing. They made sure that I looked like myself, but elevated for my wedding day. The makeup and hair were both (seemingly) effortlessly chic and romantic, while not looking like I had a ton of makeup on or a lot of hairspray in my hair - truly natural and beautiful. She listened to every comment I had or tiny detail that I wasn't 100% comfortable with and adjusted to make everything perfect. With all my bridesmaids and both MOH and MOB, she ensured each woman felt comfortable and gorgeous. And she was so skilled and keeping us ahead of schedule, I was truly amazed at how it was such a calm and enjoyable wedding morning (not at all frantic or stressful like you so often hear). I can't recommend Beautifully Unafraid highly enough!

    Alison did an awesome job on my wedding makeup. I'm so happy I went with her. I was nervous about sweating my makeup off mid August but she assured me it would be perfect and it was. My makeup and lashes lasted well into the next day! She also did my bachelorette party makeup which came out absolutely amazing!! Not only is she talented but extremely kind and sweet. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
