    Simply amazing job

    Thank you for an amazing job you did. Kristen was the best! I was able to book them a few weeks before my wedding for a very reasonable price. Kristen was very nice on the phone and at the day they arrived on time and did an amazing job. My makeup lasted all day without even touching it. My hair was exactly what I wanted and also lasted all day. I can not thank you enough for a wonderful job and making my day beautiful and special!

    Just amazing!!! :]

    They are absolutely fantastic! I don't usually wear makeup, and I was impressed at the care I received to give me a wedding day look I was comfortable with. Absolutely wonderful! I felt pretty on my special day!

    Amazing team and quality work!

    Our team arrived on time and prepared. They quickly set up and kept our group on time. All of the hairstyles and makeup were gorgeous and held the entire day/evening. The goodie bags with touch up makeup and extras for each person was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this team and the entire Beauty Refinery NYC group.

    The Best!!

    Kristen and Cynthia were such a pleasure to work with. Kristen's car literally broke down on a bridge and she still made it to me on time—such a professional. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!!

    Thank you so much !!!! We really appreciate you taking the time to review us. We had a great time styling you.

    On a scale to 0 to 10 they get an 11! MUST HIRE!!

    I cannot recommend Beauty Refinery enough!! These women were fabulous to work with from start to finish. I knew I picked the right team when during my trial they looked at my amateur skin care routine and gave me customized recommendations. My skin has never looked better since I took their tips. On the wedding day, they did great work. We were ahead of schedule … you heard that right. They were so calm and kind. My girls loved them!! With the extra time, they did touch ups everyone — even my friends who opted not take pay. And don’t get me started on all the free samples and day of essentials. They were so generous. I LOVED how my hair and makeup turned out.

    HIGHLY recommended!

    Highly recommended this team for both hair and makeup. I appreciated being able to book both services through one service and they did a great job on both beautifying myself and my whole party and keeping the morning calm and peaceful.

    NYC Wedding Glam

    Beauty Refinery is AMAZING! Kristen and Ivy were extremely accommodating and flexible with my large party and made us all feel our very best on such a special day. I personally loved Ivy's energy, calmness and how she made me feel like a bride. Kuki did an incredible job and allowed me to feel relaxed despite the many emotions I experienced that day -- I wish he could glam me everyday! I highly recommend BRNY to all brides and bridal parties!

    Warm, kind, fun, skilled, creative artists who made me feel as good as they made me look!

    After weeks of searching for stylists who would accommodate services for just a bride, the clouds parted and I somehow lucked out and found Ivy and Kristen. From the very first consultation call, I knew my bridal look was in great hands. They carefully listened to my meandering ideas and inspiration and offered suggestions I would never have thought of. On my wedding day, I didn't look like "myself but better" - I looked like my best self! I was nervous about being a more mature bride, but working with Kristen and Ivy made me feel like a 20 year old getting ready with friends! After our first trail, I wanted to make some changes. Without hestiatation, they said "no problem!" and gave me exactly what I didn't know I wanted! The team's final product would have been enough to elicit a 5 star review, but the special little details make me wish I could give 6. From a face massage, to eye patches, to a little 'emergency kit' gift, even just having my hair combed made me feel pampered and special! I cannot recommend this team enough for your special day. Or a special event. Or if you just want to get beautified with some great company, Beauty Refinery is a MUST!!!

    Ivy and the team are THE best

    Ivy has been so sweet and helpful since day 1. From the trial (I mean she brought us champagne!) to the wedding day itself, she was cool, calm and accommodating. 11/10 would hire her again in a heartbeat 💗

    The Beauty Refinery Team is THE Best!!

    Nothing but great words for this team! Kristen was so helpful in talking with me about the makeup and hair look I was going for and made sure to try different looks during my trial to ensure we got it exactly right. On the day of the wedding, they were right on schedule and worked their magic to create a beautiful natural look for me. I would recommend them 100 times over and over!

    Mother of the Bride Make up

    As mother of the bride, this was my first make up ever and Ivy was absolutely amazing!! She was extremely skillful, friendly and sensitive to my needs. I looked stunning and felt so good about myself. Thank you Ivy!! You were the best. Our entire group of girls loved you. I did my own hair but the bride and her sister loved their hair, Kristen was excellent!

    Simply the best!

    I'm so incredibly thrilled we got to work with Ivy and Kristen on my wedding day! From our very first zoom call I just knew this was going to work. They are both so professional and creative and we couldn't be happier with the results. My mother, my sister and I have never looked better!!! We also appreciate all the product recommendations, I think we learned so much from these two. Thanks for making my big day so special!

    Beauty Refinery NYC's reply:

    Thank you so much, for your kind review, Yolandi! It was such a pleasure styling you and your family and we wish you every happiness always! Ivy + Kristen

    Fantastic Service

    We worked with Ivy, Karolina, and Kristen for a hair and makeup trial and for support on the day of our wedding for myself and the other brides a well as other members of the family and wedding party. They were beyond incredible for everything and exceeded every expectation that we could've had - we are so thankful to have shared our special day with them.

    Great Experience with Ivy for my Engagement look

    Ivy is very professional at her work and she knows what she is doing to make clients happy and completely satisfied. And, she was kind enough to do my engagement makeup look at the very last minute.

    Amazing on my special day

    My make-up turned out better than I ever could have imagined on my wedding day! Kristen did such an amazing job and I felt beautiful. I even woke up with an unsightly pimple the day of my wedding and was so upset. She assured me and once she was done you couldn’t even tell! Highly recommend!!

    Beyond expectations

    The Beauty Refinery NYC did my makeup for my wedding in Lisbon, Portugal. We did trials in Southbury, Connecticut and I just knew I’d feel comfortable with them and that I’d look amazing. Ivys gentle touch soothed my nerves the day of my wedding, she was thorough and knew exactly what I wanted. Throughout the reception she was attentive to any touch ups if any and delivered such a professional performance catering to all my needs. Thank you for an amazing experience and making me look beautiful.

    Make up for a photo shoot!

    Ivy was absolutely wonderful. Super attentive to what I wanted, made me so comfortable and relaxed and did an amazing job! She used top quality makeup- only the best which I really liked. I asked her to give me tips on what she was doing and using so I could know for future reference and she was more than happy to do that for me. She even recommended some awesome products too. I have honestly never felt so beautiful! So glad I used her and will def use her again!!!

    Love, Love, Love

    I absolutely loved working with Ivy, not only is she an absolute pleasure, she is a very talented makeup artist, I highly recommend her! I was worried I'd look overdone because I normally wear very little makeup but she did such a great job making me look great and more on the natural side.

    A great way to start the day with beautiful looks!

    Ivy and Kristen were professional and kind. They brought with them a great energy that started our days in such a positive way. They were prepared with lighting, seating, and all of the essentials to create beautiful looks. They shared with us the different brands of makeup they loved and listened to our concerns. Thank you both for a fun morning!

    Great, Speedy Team to get us Glammed!

    My mother-in-law gifted me a glam team to get me, her two daughters and herself ready the day of and the Beauty Refinery team was a great gift indeed. They were very intentional and diligent in their communication prior to the day of the wedding, which was awesome given I opted to not do a hair/makeup trial. I went for a 60s inspired Audrey Hepburn look and they were very thorough on ensuring what I wanted to achieve the look without it coming across costume-y (which thankfully it did not!).

    While I do wish I would have done a trial to get accustomed to the team member's personalities/vibe prior to the day of when I had so many thoughts and nerves, they were very professional and adaptable to the working space at the hotel suite where we got ready. They're also very understanding about any adjustments you want made to the look along the way, so feel free to speak up if there's anything you want - it's YOUR day! One thing I do wish I would have asked for is some coverage and contouring on my chest/collar bone area, so just a consideration if you have a dress that shows off your chest. Thanks Beauty Refinery team!
