Emily Sent on 02/20/2018If I could give Blush518 10 stars, I would! My love story with Gwen and Amy started a few years ago when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. This was my 4th time as a bridesmaid, but only the first time I was actually happy with my hair and makeup! In previous weddings bridesmaids were passed through an assembly line, which resulted in everyone looking mediocre and rushed, but Blush518 is so very different. Gwen and Amy (and their team) take their time with each attendant and make sure your hair and makeup is EXACTLY what you were expecting. It helps that they are so knowledgeable about the latest trends and are genuinely excited about making your vision come to life.
Gwen is now my go-to for hair cuts (as well as my sister and my mother's hair cuts!), and was also the glam squad for my sister's wedding. I tried to pick a weekend Gwen was available for my own wedding (that is how much I love Blush518!!!), but unfortunately she was on vacation. Luckily Amy was available and was WONDERFUL.
Blush518 offers a wide variety of services for your big day - makeup, air brush makeup, up-dos, down styles, blow outs, eye lashes, etc. They are fun to hang out with, keep you stress free, LISTEN to what you are looking for, and aren't afraid to change something if you are unsure. I would recommend them over and and over and over again! -

Morgan Sent on 09/09/2024I never felt more beautiful in my entire life!
Gwen and her team are amazing!! I've known Gwen personally for over 10 years, and she was one of the first vendors I knew I HAD to have for my wedding day; we were even flexible with picking a wedding date so the Blush518 Team would be available! My trial was great, we talked about different looks and changes that day and the next after a wear test. Come wedding day, the vibes were amazing, the team was so efficient with my 7 Bridesmaids, MOB, MOG & Bride! As the title says, I truly never felt more beautiful on my wedding day and my hair and makeup didn't need a single touch-up all night besides reapplying lipstick. You're doing yourself a disservice by not booking the Blush518 team!!!! -

Anne Sent on 08/05/2018I am so thankful that I had Gwen and her team for my wedding day. I had a vision for my look that I struggled to articulate but Gwen figured it out and made it even better. Her team is just as amazing, they did a fabulous job with my girls who were extremely happy. Gwen was beyond accommodating with any change I needed, even on the day of!
Gwen’s talent, professionalism and fun personality is second to none! I highly recommend Blush 518 and will continue to return to Gwen for all my beauty needs. Thank you again! -

Gwen and the Blush518 ladies are the absolute best! Gwen traveled all the way to Cooperstown and spent our entire wedding weekend with us, making me feel like royalty and being by my side as both a professional and friend. Gwen did my hair and makeup for our Rehearsal Dinner and when I looked in the mirror, I was blown away. She raised every level of every detail, I never knew I could look like that! As a bride in her 40s, she gave me the dream of looking my absolute best on my wedding day and put so much kindness and care in getting me ready and into every touch-up. Even with a gown and hair change, she made the whole process seamless and magical. She LOVES what she does and she’s the absolute BEST at it, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by my side. Christine and Lisa did my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, some of my girls never really dolling up before, and they all looked like supermodels! I could not have been happier and these amazing ladies made our whole bridal party shine. Our guests were also able to take advantage of some of Blush518’s services on site and raved about their up-do’s and eyelashes, and looked absolutely beautiful. It was so much fun for them to join in the day! The showstopper of the whole wedding, however, was my mom, a beautiful woman in her early 80’s, who’s stunning features were elevated and blown up by Lisa. She was the absolute star of the wedding and never looked (younger!) and more gorgeous. It made my heart soar! Thank you Gwen and Blush518 ladies - you went above and beyond in every way and were one of the very best parts of our wedding, and we can never thank you enough ❤️ -

Gwen and her team are the best of the best. I highly recommend Blush518. Gwen creates a timeline to really simplify the getting ready process and coordinates with the photographer to ensure everyone is ready in time for photos. Not to mention everyone looks amazing!! -

BEST Hair and Makeup Experience
I can't say enough about Gwen and Blush 518! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and I owe it all to Gwen. She is the sweetest person and from the moment I spoke with her on the phone I new she was the perfect person for me. My trial was amazing, she was so nice and really understood what I wanted. She took what I wanted and went beyond my expectations. The rest of her team were also amazing and my bridal party looked beautiful. If you want to feel your most beautiful, book Blush 518! -

Anna Sent on 08/23/2016I am so happy that I chose Amy and Blush518 for my wedding! She was great about listening to what I wanted, flexible when I wanted to change things, and reassuring when I had (at least one) bridal freak-out. Both during my trial and on my wedding day, Amy asked my opinion on subtle details of my style, and I really appreciated that she involved me at that level. I also loved her technique-- my hair stayed styled through the next morning, but I could barely feel the bobby pins. During our wedding ceremony (which was outdoors), the wind was blowing so strongly that I thought my veil was going to be pulled from my head. I was convinced that by the time I made it back up the aisle, my hair would be ruined. However, when the ceremony was over, I was surprised that not only my own hair, but my bridesmaids' hair as well were all still perfect. Amy and Blush518 are incredible! -

My friends and family and I all had such a good time with Gwen and her team! They turned what could have been a stressful situation into no big deal (my original trail was done with Amy, but she had an emergency the day of the wedding). They handled my disorganized group very well, even though some of the girls weren't on schedule they managed to get everyone done on time. My makeup and hair turned out better than I had even expected and stayed put throughout the pics and ceremony, even through several (happy) tearful moments. I can't thank them enough for putting me at ease and making everything smooth and perfect! -

I knew Gwen and her team would be a go from our very first chat via email. She truly listened to my vision for the day and helped bring it to life, offering support and guidance when needed. Her entire team was so sweet and personable, we had a blast during the trial and getting ready on the morning of my wedding day. Gwen was able to tame my thick hair like nothing I’ve ever seen! 😉 She exceeded my expectations and helped my dream come true. I would absolutely recommend Blush 518 to any bride! 💗 -

Rikki Sent on 08/19/2019Absolutely Stunning!
Gwen and her team were absolutely amazing! Her keen eye enhanced my natural beauty, she listened to my thoughts on how I wanted to look for my big day and made me look flawless. My girls and I looked great and I couldn't be happier with how we looked. In fact, my sister (who has been in many weddings) who is very picky about her hair and make-up when it's professionally done said she loved how she looked for my wedding! If you are in the Albany/Lake George/Saratoga area, I highly recommend! Thank you Gwen! -

I would recommend Blush 518 to any bride for their wedding day! She will make sure you feel perfect on your big day, and all your bridesmaids will look amazing too! Gwen’s whole team is the best at what they do! -
