Beautiful service

I had such a good experience having Christy do my bridal hair and makeup. She really helped to calm my nerves and to trust in her. I ended up doing two trials with her, because I was really unsure of what I wanted. She even came to me to do my trial! She walked me through the whole process and encouraged me that the final look would be smoother on the day of because she would use more product. I liked that I did not need to have a minimum service count in order to book her. My wedding day was pretty hot, but my makeup and hair lasted through the whole event- there was even some drizzling at the end of our reception, but it all stayed! This picture was taken in drizzle. My makeup felt lightweight, like I wasn't wearing anything. My sister, who does not wear makeup, said the same thing. I would definitely recommend using Christy!

Perfection!

Christy was absolutely wonderful to work with and did a phenomenal job with my hair and makeup (as well as my MIL's hair + makeup and mom's makeup) on the day of my wedding! I have very fine hair and struggle to style it on my own, so was initially nervous that I'd be able to achieve the look I was hoping for (a pretty traditional low updo) but Christy reassured me that she would absolutely be able to achieve the look I was hoping for and did not disappoint. Christy was very communicative and friendly throughout the entire process, and I felt completely at ease and relaxed because I knew she was going to do a great job. Absolutely recommend doing the trial hair + makeup with her as well - that was a great opportunity for her to see how my hair styled and me to give thoughts/feedback on what I liked/didn't like before the big day.

Incredible!

Christy was wonderful to work with! She made it so easy from the beginning. I'm not a person that wears a ton of makeup and wasn't 100% sure what I wanted, AND on top of that, I live out of state so I wasn't able to do an in-person trial appointment. But Christy and I did a virtual meeting to talk about my ideas, and she made me feel at ease. She also came prepared with lots of different foundation shades which worked out well as me and my bridal party vary pretty widely in our skin tones. I was SO happy with how my makeup turned out - everything stayed put and I felt beautiful all evening!!!

Hair & makeup

Christy was amazing! She created beautiful hairstyles and makeup looks for my wedding at our trial and used great products so my makeup lasted the entire wedding day in 90 degree weather (outside wedding). She is very sweet, helpful and quick!

Loved my hair!

Christy was amazing. She made me look and feel beautiful for the big day. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and make up. Not only did she create wonderful hairstyles, she really put my nerves at ease. Christy and La’Kendra were professional and safety was the utmost importance. The hours flew by because we were all just having so much fun!! I cannot recommend her enough.

Christy and her team were a pleasure to work with. Christy was very responsive to my emails, and very accommodating of my requests (despite the fact that I changed the intinerary several times on her!). She assigned another stylist, La'Kendra, to take care of my bridal party for the morning of. La'Kendra had a very early morning wake-up call (she arrived at 5:45 AM), but she was one of the most pleasant and professional stylists that I've ever worked with! She designes five gorgeous hairstyles in five hours, and with very little direction made each of my bridesmaids shine in their own unique way. She was fast, talented and so friendly. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for these qualities.

Christy made this part of the wedding prep seamless and easy. It was great to have someone who was flexible with my family member's preferences and she did a wonderful job on all of our hair. All four of the family loved the results and so did I. I'm happy to report that after 4 hours of hard dancing and merriment my hair was still in place almost exactly as it had been when Christy set it.

I found Christy through wedding wire at the last minute. I called her in a panic about a month before my wedding because I couldn’t find anyone to do my makeup for my wedding day. She was very kind and luckily she was available for my wedding day. My makeup turned out amazing I was so pleased!!! I would recommend Christy for wedding makeup she was great!

Christy is amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Florida, and gave her no instruction other than, "Make it awesome"...and that she DID. She put highlights in my hair that were GORGEOUS! The style matched my dress, very hippy/greek goodessy...it's was amazing. My makeup was flawless and lasted well into the evening. She even brought hair clips and flowers for my wedding party so we could match. She definitely went above and beyond.

Christy did hair for two bridesmaids and the bride and makeup for four bridesmaids and the bride. She was very professional and responded to all inquiries and questions within a matter of hours. During the trial she was very honest about what worked and what didn't work, while still being very personable and open to questions or suggestions. Her prices were very reasonable, especially considering she came to us and did all the hair and makeup on locations. Also, there were no surprise fees. She told us upfront what the total cost would be and it didn't change. I did A LOT of dancing and sweating profusely in the August heat and humidity and by the end of the night my makeup was still flawless (which is a minor miracle, I must say). The bridesmaids also looked fantastic!

Christy does it all! Hair and makeup trials, traveling to your location, working with your schedule, she even did my dad's hair! I'm not the kind of woman who spends a lot of time on my own hair and makeup on a day-to-day basis, so I didn't have a lot of experience or a clear vision of what I wanted for my big day. I did know what I didn't want, and Christy took that and applied her professional experience to come up with something beautiful that was exactly what I didn't know I wanted. When the stylist for my bridesmaids had to cancel, Christy stepped in and brought in Kim to help make sure everyone was taken care of. Christy was very responsive to all my emails, really listened to what I had to say, and delivered a great final product. Check her out!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christy!! She did the hair and make up for my wedding as well as hair and make up for my 2 bridesmaids, mom, and grandma. Throughout the year I was in contact with her prior to the wedding, her service was always exemplary. She is super responsive to emails and never made me feel bad for my many questions - should I do extensions? How long should my hair be? How do extensions work? Etc. After my hair and make-up trial a month before the wedding, I knew I had selected the perfect person! I had minimal ideas for what I wanted - natural make up playing up my eyes and a high bun. I had a couple "inspiration" photos with me, but I really left it to Christy and I am so glad that I did. She did my make up so beautifully and my hair... if I could have her do my hair every day, I would! On the day of the wedding, Christy was absolutely perfect. She arrived on time and stayed on schedule. She made all of us look absolutely stunning. We all have very different styles and she was able to accommodate all of us. We all looked great and everyone was happy with what she did. My mom even asked to get Christy's card so that she could start going to Christy as her normal hair stylist. Beyond her service and hair and make up skills, Christy is just a wonderful person all around. She was so kind to me and my mom as we started to get a little anxious and nervous. She kept us calm and truly cared about us. Christy wasn't just the hair and make up artist, though she is a wonderful one, but she was a member of the bridal party! I cannot thank Christy enough for all that she did.

Christy and her assistant provided my whole bridal party with excellent hair and make-up. The bridesmaids' updos and the flower girls' braids were absolutely adorable. I can not stop raving about how wonderful they looked. They did natural make-up on the whole bridal party and every single one of the ladies looked fantastic. :) They were extremely flexible with changing the order at the last minute and just were a lot of fun to work with on the day of the wedding.

Christy Aspinwall made sure my wedding day was absolutely flawless! She was extremely friendly, personable and my wedding party and I all felt like we belonged on the red carpet once she was done applying our makeup. She was more than happy to travel to my wedding site so all I had to do the day of my wedding was wake up and get gorgeous! Thanks to Christy, I have never felt or looked more beautiful in my life! Everyone kept telling me how great my hair and makeup looked! Also, Christy is great at listening to what kind of look you want, but making you look great no matter what! Not only is Christy super talented, but she is so much fun to work with.... It was like having my best friend do my makeup and hair! I would definitely recommend Christy Aspinwall for hair and makeup!!

Christy Aspinwall was the perfect choice for our wedding. She was quick to get back to me about any questions I had. My husband and I planned our wedding overseas in Japan, and at times it was difficult to get into contact with our vendors. We were pleased with how well Christy communicated.
She did an excellent job with my hair trial, and I felt instantly comfortable with her. On the day of, she was wonderful, and I was really pleased with how my hair and my bridesmaids' hair looked.
I have already recommended her to one of my friends because I think Christy is professional, artistic, personable and kind. A must-have for your wedding day!

Christy had been my stylist for about a year, and I knew with the consistently awesome cuts she'd do fabulously with my hair. I was very particular about what I wanted, but had trouble putting it into words but through her guidance and after two practice sessions, she nailed it! When I saw how awesome the back looked in the mirror for the first time on my wedding day, I burst into joyful tears--it was exactly as I envisioned. We kept my makeup light and natural, but wow did I feel flawless! My skin looked and felt so smooth and photographed so well. My eyebrows she waxed and colored several days before, which really completed the look.

Christy also did a ravishgly beautiful updo on my sister, listeng to what she wanted and delivering! We were both really floored with the service we received. There's a reason she's still my stylist, and why my sister is going to go to her from now on, too!

Christy was a joy and very easy to work with. At my hair and makeup trial I explained to her what I was looking for and she nailed it right away. On the day of my wedding she showed up early and starting working her way through my bridal party right away. We stayed ahead of schedule the whole day. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and it all helped up throughout the entire day, which was a bit of a challenge because it was a hot a humid day. I had a lot of compliments on throughout my wedding and I loved it. My grandma 86 year old grandma decided at the last minute that she wanted to get her makeup done and Christy had no problem staying and adding her in at the end. I would highly recommend using Christy for your hair and makeup needs.

Christy was incredibly affordable and so great to work with! My makeup came out beautifully, but the work she did with my hair was just amazing. It's a bit unusual, transitioning from dark brown to navy blue, and she came up with a gorgeous updo that highlighted the blue perfectly - so many compliments! She and her assistant, La'Kendra, also did a fantastic job with makeup and hair for my bridesmaids.

I would absolutely recommend Christy - she's incredibly communicative and easy to get along with, but she also isn't shy about keeping things on schedule and letting you know what needs to be done (super-important on the hectic day!). Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Christy did an exceptional job with my hair on my wedding day. She took care of 6 other people's hair as well, and everyone of them looked wonderful. Her flexibility to add people last minute was extremly helpful, and she always had a postive attitude and a smile to share. I loved working with Christy thorughout the process of choosing my hair style, I changed it multiple times including a last change the week of the wedding, and she did an amazing job witht he final style chosen. I got compliments all night.

Christy was great to work with. I booked Christy to do my hair and makeup as well as to work with my sister, mother in law, and a friend who was attending the wedding. She agreed to come to the hotel to work with all of us early on the morning of my wedding. When she arrived we had one additional person who wanted her hair done, and Christy accommodated us without any hesitation while sticking to her schedule to make sure we were out the door on time!

Christy was amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend her for hair and make-up. Working with her is so incredibly easy. She is very professional and has great ideas for options to choose from. My husband loved my style on our wedding day, couldn't stop raving about my unique hair design and my eye makeup. What I also loved about working with Christy is that she was super responsive via email. I had a last minute addition and then another deletion. Christy was able to accomdate and I was really thankful. Work with Christy, she's a true professional.

Christy is the consummate professional! She worked with me to try out three different styles before the wedding and executed perfectly the big day. Her assistant was a great addition to the team. Without a doubt I would recommend Christy to everyone. She is very flexible and willing to do whatever it takes to make the day a success. She also knows exactly when to help the bride and skillfully kept me calm at a few moments when I was ready to have a meltdown on others. Despite the weather (rain all day) my hair and makeup held up all night and even had a few curls left the next morning.

Christy was extremely helpful from the very beginning of working with her. She was able to answer all my questions and was extremely flexible. Her and her partner were able to do my hair, 7 bridesmaids and my mother in less time that we expected. My hair stayed all night and looked great in pictures. I had several bridesmaids who have hair that is extremely thick and doesn't usually hold up for long. Their hair help up with the 80 degree heat and hours of dancing. Christy met us at the hotel to get ready and was very professional. I would definitely refer to any brides.

I had an amazing time working with Christy for my wedding and am happy to say that I am still a client of hers as I will be going back to her again and again to have my hair cut and styled!

First off, Christy has an amazing personality. She is kind, professional, and so easy to work with. I had two hair trials with Christy to find the perfect style. During each one she listened to what I wanted, what I didn't want, and worked so hard to get it just right. After two trials I can tell you that she is able to do ANYTHING. I went from wanting something very intricate and detailed to a very simple bun, so I have seen first hand the talent and skill she has!

I had seven bridesmaids and my mom getting ready with me on my wedding day. Christy and two of her assistants (La'Kendra and Kim) came to the hotel that we were getting ready at and made every one of us feel beautiful. Christy did my hair and it was absolutely perfect- I loved it and was so comfortable! I had my hair done at 8:00 AM and it was still perfectly intact at 11:30 PM! Christy also did everyones make-up, which she is amazing at. She is very skillful at getting you the look you want without making you feel like you have a pound of make-up on. Some girls did smokey eyes and some did a more dow-eyed look- Christy executed both styles beautifully. I highly recommend having her apply fake eyelashes too! I was apprehensive, but within 10 minutes you forget they're on and they really make your eyes pop. The rest of her team worked on the bridemaids' and my mom's hair. They were patient and very talented. Several girls even changed their minds half-way through and these women didn't bat an eye! Everyone left feeling great about their hair.

It's so important to feel beautiful and comfortable on your wedding day and that's exactly how Christy and her team make you feel. I can't recommend her highly enough!

If you're anything like me you probably have a spreadsheet with tabs for each of your vendors tracking pros, cons, prices and reviews. Stop right now and hire Christy. Her hair and makeup skills are undeniable and she has a fantastic personality. On the day of my wedding, my mother arrived on time at my hotel suite to get her makeup done only to realize that she forgot my dress!! Christy kept everyone calm and waited an extra hour until my mom returned with the dress. She helped me choose the perfect hair style even when I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for. My mother got so many compliments and my bridesmaid with crazy thick curly hair was incredibly happy with her braided updo. Her prices are fantastic compared to a salon or any of the other on site hair specialists and she does fantastic makeup too! Don't underestimate the craziness of a wedding day morning. It's going to be nuts no matter how much you plan. Christy is able navigate the craziness and allow you to sit back and relax. It's worth every single penny. I promise.

Christy was so amazing to work with. I was lucky enough to work with her twice, once as a bridesmaid and once as a bride, and both times exceeded expectations. She's so kind and so talented!!! She's also very flexible even when its last minute. On my wedding day, I had to add an extra bridesmaid and she was glad to stay and help. Everyone looked gorgeous and the makeup stayed on all night, even after the cake smashing! I highly recommend Bridal Concepts by Christy!

Christy was so relaxed and easy to work with, even when I changed my mind on my hair/makeup a few days after our run through. The best part was she came to our wedding location! She was prompt and finished when she said she would finish.

Everyone felt pampered and taken care of. I would DEFINITELY recommend Christy's services to anyone looking for a hair/makeup stylist for special events/weddings.

Thank you, Christy!

Christy was wonderful! From the trial appointment to the wedding day itself, it was a joy to work with her. Christy helped both of us (bride and mother of the bride) to decide on our desired "look" for the wedding and then made it "come to life" through both hair and make-up. We received so many compliments! I highly recommend her!

Christy was such a pleasure to work with. I feel like after much research and calling around she was the only vendor for hair and makeup that was reasonably priced, everyone else was astronomical. After having my trial with her, I signed the contract. She is reasonable and her work is just outstanding. She was also just so much fun to work with, it was like having another friend with us getting ready. She accommodated a few extras the day of that came up in stride and she stayed on time! I am very type A and knowing that she had control of all the girls was such a relief and really helped me relax and enjoy the time getting ready. I recommended her to a friend that is getting married later this summer and I am so looking forward to working with her again. She was so professional and just delightful.

I am so glad I found Christy for my onsite hair and makeup. I was astounded at the minimum requirements and fees for other onsite hair/makeup artists, so I was so relieved to have found Christy. Not only are her rate extremely reasonable, but she is also so talented and very knowledgeable about hair and makeup. I actually did 2 hair and makeup trials with her because I ended up changing my mind after the first one (fickle bride here... lol) but the end result on my wedding day was exactly what I had envisioned!! She made all of us look so amazing (all 5 of my girls got hair done, 3 also had makeup) and my makeup and hair still looked great even after sweating and dancing my butt off! Even though I made a mistake and had misjudged how long it would take for one of my bridesmaid's hair (it was fair longer than I remembered!), Christy took it in stride and kept us on (and eventually ahead of) schedule. The little goody bag she gave me was also a nice treat. Thank you so much, Christy!

Christy went above and beyond!! She added in my mom last minute for makeup and was even able to fit in my grand mother last minute. She was a true pleasure to work with and most importantly we all looked great!! We all still looked like ourselves but our best version. to top it off her prices were great! I am in a wedding in September for one of my bridesmaids from my wedding and she loved her so much she's already booked her. Everything about the day was perfect and Christy was very calm, professional and helpful. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

I found Christy on weddingwire when I started looking for things to plan my wedding. One of the things that got my attention on the reviews other brides wrote about Christy, was to know that she is a sweet, kind, good person. When I went over her studio for the trial, I knew that the reviews were true. Christy is not only a great stylist, with lots of cool ideas and knows how to make you look gorgeous, but also is a sweet, professional lady, always with a big smile. My wedding was at noon, so Christy came over at 7am, she was on time and with all of her equipment, ready to work! I even told her I needed to go a bit earlier than the original plan and she didn't panic nor got upset, she just kept working and we were ready to go before I knew it! It was a delight to have Christy as my stylist for my wedding, I felt amazing and she did an excellent job! I highly recommend her!

Christy was AMAZING! Not only were her prices extremely reasonable, but she traveled to the location we were getting ready at! She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole planning process, and very flexible about my trial. She also patiently went through 5 different styles with me until we got it perfect! On the day of she arrived early and made sure all 6 ladies got their hair done on time. Not to mention, the bridal goody bag was pretty awesome :) I would highly recommend Christy for any event!

Christy and her assistant Kim were absolutely FANTASTIC to work with! From their work, to their flexibility, to their proessionalism and kindness, everything was totally perfect. My hair was beautiful and Christy worked with me to come up with a style that suited me. She was so fun to work with and was not daunted by the large wedding party I had to have styled in such a short (and EARLY) period of time. I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful job she did and would recommend her to all other brides out there looking for someone with extremely reasonable prices and great talent!

I just recently met Christy and I am very impressed with her professionalism, promptness, and very detailed work she performs. I asked her on short notice to do my hair and makeup for my brother's wedding. My previous stylist cancelled at the last minute, and Christy made herself available immediately. She showed up on time, she did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup, and I am very glad to say I have met her :) She has now become my "personal" stylist! She had me looking beautiful for the wedding! I HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who is looking for someone who is dependable, reliable, does great work, and has a great personality!

She not only did hair and makeup but she stayed late to help lace up my gown and place my veil....I would very highly recommend her to anyone for any event...not just brides. I would absolutely use her services again!!

Awesome I was SO thrilled with the whole experience with Christi! She was knowledgeable and taught me tricks I'm using everyday now to look better. Her flexibility couldn't have been any better. Want to be confident on your day choose her! I went originally with a disaster on the "test run" but the stylist thought it was great. Not, it didn't last an hour. With Christi it lasted ALL NIGHT . Our ceremony was at 5:30 and lasted with dancing (and we danced) until midnight! In July no less

Christy was awesome from the start. I had a hard time starting the wedding planning process, so my communication with her was sporadic at best. Despite that Christy was very responsive and provided all of the information I needed.

At the practice run, all I had to do was say "French Twist" and she had my difficult hair looking absolutely fantastic. My mother, who was also getting her hair styled, had no idea what she wanted. Christy came up with a beautiful updo that mom felt comfortable with, and everyone loved!

On the day of the wedding there was an issue with finding the venue. Christy remained calm and professional and was still able to get us both finished on time. She even helped by taking boutonnieres to the guys before the ceremony, helping me into my dress, and even acted as a "bouncer" to make sure my mom and I had time to bond together before the ceremony.

Thank you very much for helping to make the big day go so well!

It was a pleasure working with Christy! Five of us had our hair done and everyone of us was pleased with the outcome. Christy had no problem adjusting our hairstyles if we weren't happy with them the first time. She wants you to be happy and pleased with the way you look! The makeup looked beautiful as well.

Christy was awesome to work with! She was very sweet and willing to work with me on anything! She was very affordable and exceeded my expectations! All the girls hair and makeup was fabulous and better than what I expected! She was very flexible when I had to change where we were going to meet at to get our hair and makeup done. Every time I emailed her, she got back to me instantly! I couldn't have picked a better hair/makeup artist. Her assistant Kim was amazing as well and made our experience wonderful too. If you want to go with someone affordable, sweet, and does an amazing job with hair and makeup, you should definitely choose Bridal Concepts by Christy Aspinwall!

I found Christy on this website, and I am more than happy to spread the news and recommend her to everyone!! I LOVED working with Christy. I was a deer staring down headlights when I began to think about hair and makeup for the day of the wedding, seeing as how I almost never wear any make up and my idea of "doing my hair" means putting it in a pony tail. Also, as I was shopping around I was a bit shocked by how much it can cost to get hair and makeup done for a wedding. I was so relieved when I looked at Christy's prices. Until I found her website, I was seriously considering finding a friend or relative to do my hair. When I had my trial run, I had a great time getting to know Christy and working with her to try and find a style that worked best. She took a ton of pictures of everything and sent it to me immediately. Because I was so clueless, she did an excellent job of guiding me through the process of deciding how I wanted my hair to look. The best advice I got from her was to choose a look that shaped my face the best way. And when I looked through pictures with that in mind, it made it so much easier to decide on a look for the big day. She has a lot of experience, and she jut knows her stuff. But for me, what made the experience so much better, was her kindness. While I am forever grateful for the excellent job that Christy did on my hair and make up, I will remember her also for being such a kind person. The day of the wedding, she arrived the same time I did, and did my hair, my matron of honor's hair, my mother's hair, and my make up, but it never felt overwhelming. It felt like a bunch of girlfriends hanging out. So relaxing and fun. I felt beautiful, and for once, I didn't mind getting my picture taken so many times.

Christy was absolutely wonderful. She arrived at 8:00 to do hair and make-up for my 4 bridesmaids, myself, and both moms. She was even willing to do hair for my aunt and cousin at the last minute. I was so pleased with my hair I would consider using her again for any future weddings or occasions I am a part of.

Christy was a pleasure to work with. Throughout the process of being a bride I have been amazed at how outrageous most of the wedding industry is. Christy seems to live outside of that. She is incredibly helpful and generous with her time. I have very difficult hair to work with (thick, wavy and short) and wanted 40s style finger waves. Christy was very accommodating and worked with me until I was confident that I had the style I wanted. On top of everything her prices are very reasonable. In addition she did my Mother in Law's hair along with my aunt's. Neither individuals were definite they were going to get something done and there were other possible people who thought they would. Christy was very flexible and did an excellent job on all of us!

Christy was wonderful to work with from the word "Go." She was incredibly helpful with everything from finding a hair accessory to use on my wedding day, to working me into a busy Father's Day weekend for a hairstyle trial run, to conveniently coming to my house on the big day to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and me. She's also very affordable - one of the most reasonable I found by far, especially for the caliber of services and convenience of having her come to you on your hectic wedding day. Christy is the best!

Christy is a dream to work with. She's so outgoing, professional, and fun to be girly with since she does both hair and make-up for weddings.

One of the first things you'll find with Christy is how flexible she is to try a lot of different approaches with both hair and make-up depending on what you are looking for. Also, she comes with hair accessories to play with and takes pictures so you can reflect on the experience. She goes out of her way to please and did so with me.

Another big plus is she'll come to you. All the trials were at my home and on the wedding day, she was on time and ready at the wedding venue where I requested her to be. So you don't have to worry about the hustle and bustle of a salon if that's not your thing.

Finally, another big positive to Christy is her pricing. She offers superb services at really reasonable rates for the bride, wedding party members, and family. I had 4 people for Christy to manage (including me) and everything went smooth and all the ladies were happy and we had fun getting ready with her help. I'm still amazed by the final costs since it was so affordable.

And once pictures were posted, I got lots of compliments on how I looked and Christy was a big part in glamming me up, but keeping me natural all at the same time.

For all brides to be, check Christy out. She's the best!

Christy was amazing! She came out to my home for two trial runs and kept going til we ended up with a style I was happy with. On the big day she came to my fathers house early and with a smile on her face ready to make us all beautiful. She had a great attitude and was very responsive and attentive to what my girls wanted. I would use her in a heartbeat.

Christy and I discussed her services although I didn't have a chance to use them (my mother-in-law and mother's last minute changes) but Christy was very flexible and willing to make it work for the bride even though we had only contacted her a week's time in advance. I'm not able to select a "n/a" for quality since we couldn't use her, but I was so impressed with her attention that I needed to write her a review. She was very responsive, flexible and informative. Her services look great and the value is there as well. Thanks Christy - you were terrific.

Christy always asked for our opinions just to make sure we were happy with how she was making us look. We got our make up done in a hotel room and she even helped out making sure the maid service got us extra towels! Christy is very professional and very talented at what she does. I would highly recommend her to everyone that needs professional make up service! Thanks for making us look beautiful!

Christy was amazing! I found her here on wedding wire and liked her photos and her estimate. I had a hair and makeup trial with her and my mother about 6 months before the wedding, which went really well. One great thing about Christy is she is meticulous about taking photos of all the looks that you try which is great for reviewing what you like. She had lots of advice, product and ideas and had lots of accessories that complemented the ones I already had. She was fantastic on the day of the wedding! She was on time and not only did she do the hair and makeup she was scheduled for (mine, the two mothers' and two bridesmaids) but she was also able to lend her expertise and accessories to the other two bridesmaids who had problems when trying to do their own hair. She was knowledgeable and professional and friendly and does great work! I loved what she did with everyone's hair and makeup - mine included- and would highly recommended her to anyone.

Christy was amazing! She did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup. She was very flexible with what I wanted. The week of the wedding I had found a new hair style I liked and she was perfectly fine with me changing my hair style a few days before the wedding. She was a blessing to have with me that day. My sisters and I were running a little behind on the wedding day, so in the end we were kind of rushing. I did not have a chance to clean up the hotel room before we had to leave, but to my amazement Christy had cleaned everything up and even put things back in there proper places. That was the best wedding present ever. I couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend Christy. She goes above and beyond and I know you will be impressed with her service!

Christy cut my hair and waxed my eyebrows. She's very friendly and personable, and she did a great job. I would recommend her to anyone. I'm very picky about how my eyebrows look after they've been waxed, and I thought she did a great job of shaping them; she did a great job on my hair, too.

If you're looking for a friendly, professional, creative stylist for your big day, I highly recommend Christy Aspinwall. I had the pleasure of working with her twice- for hair and makeup the day of my engagement pictures as well as my wedding day. Our practice sessions left me feeling confident that I would be looking my absolute best as she used her expertise to transform our ideas into reality. She also worked hard to be accessible and flexible, which I appreciated immensely in the whirlwind that led up to my wedding, as well as the event itself! I couldn't be happier with the results, and am confident that whether you're looking for an elegant up-do or a more natural look, Christy will be able to help you with your beauty needs and make the experience a great one.

I worked with Christy Aspinwall at The Drake Parlor Salon for my wedding hair and makeup. My wedding was in San Diego, CA and she came out to the wedding with us and did beautiful updos for me (the bride), 2 of my bridesmaids and the flowergirl. Before the wedding Christy met with me twice to do practice updos and makeup. She was very accomodating and willing to meet whenever was best for me. She was very helpful the day of the wedding and had everything planned out in order to relieve stress on me and to not be rushed at the end to get it all done. Christy was very helpful on the day of the wedding and even offered to help with other things while at the wedding. I would recommend her to anyone needing hair or makeup for their wedding or any other event.

Christy was amazing. She did the hair for me (the bride), my bridesmaids and even some other family members. She set aside her entire day to make sure that everyone was happy. I recieved numerous comments throughout the event about how beautiful everyones hair was.

Christy provided a very helpful hair trial session in which she looked at pictures of hairstyles I liked and came up with a few hairstyles along similar lines to show me. She took multiple pictures of each hair style tried so that I could see how it looked in pictures and remember what we tried. Very helpful! Also on the of the wedding, she did a great job in making my bridesmaids' hair look great, even when they did not quite know what they wanted. And of course my hair came out gorgeous and held up pretty well throughout the night.

I would highly recommend Christy! She was not only responsive and answered all of my questions but made me feel completely comfortable through the process. She made great recommendations to me for hair options and make up. She worked with me to find a style that I felt great about. She even ended up highlighting my hair prior to my wedding. She met the wedding party at a hotel and was very flexible that day. Once of my aunt's ended up loving her work and she did her hair as well, unplanned. The hotel room was filled with my loud family and she handled that like a pro. I am 100% happy with Christy's hair and make up styles. I will continue to go to Christy to get my hair done, she is fabulous!

Christy did a fantastic job for my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair of my 4 bridesmaids, flowergirl, and Aunt. Every one of us had unique style and a different vision for how we wanted our hair, and I must say she has a gift for achieving everyone's perfect look right away. We were all raving about the results. My Aunt, who has often traveled and gotten her hair done in other cities for black tie events noted that her work was the best she'd ever seen. Christy is so professional and sweet. She cares so much about making her clients happy, that her happiness and calm demeanor is contagious, which goes a long way on your big day. I loved her creative abilities with hair. She gave me 1930's style finger curls that go side to side, rather than cork screw, and I just loved it. I had never heard of it but when I described what I was looking for , she suggested this. We tried about 7 different hair styles in about a two hour trial visit, complete with digital photos.. It made it very easy to decide on the right hair style. When she came to our hotel to do all of our hair, she was ready to roll and she replicated my chosen hairstyle very quickly. I highly recommend Christy for any formal event.

Christy was great, she was very patient with all the chaotic wedding stuff I had going on in the room. She even stayed to help my mom and matron of honor put my gown on!

Christy did a wonderful job on my hair for my wedding day! She arrived on time and did not only my hair but four of my bridesmaids too! We all looked unique and special, and I was so lucky to have such a cheerful, positive stylist travel to my far away wedding site! You'd love to have her services at your wedding too!

Fabulous Experience!

Christy and her assistant, LaKendra, made me and my girls look absolutely amazing for my wedding day. Christy is super easy to communicate with and she was able to create the exact look I was going for! Highly recommend her for a DMV area wedding :)

Christy and La'Kendra did the hair and make up for myself, my whole bridal party, and the mothers of the bride and groom. Christy was very helpful when some members of the party needed to be added for make up a couple of days prior to the wedding. The hair and make up looked amazing, and held up well the whole day. Our ceremony was at 5 pm, and our earliest hair appt was at 8 and earliest make up was at 10, so I was definitely worried about everything looking good when it was go time, but it was great!

I went to Christy first for a hair cut, which I received many complements from friends and my fiance (now husband). She cut his hair and our one year daughter's hair -- all were flawless. Her communication via text, phone, and email help enable her to run proficient services and it's so nice to have a google calendar link that shows up in my phone for appointment reminders. Christy's at home salon is very nice and cozy. I was very worried because of the heat and outdoor atmosphere of my wedding that hair for myself and my bridal party would be a mess by the end of the evening. I'm happy to report that all hair and make-up still looked flawless at the end of the night. She really listened to my concerns and took extra care to make sure the girls got extra hair spray and that I was 100% happy with my hairstyle.

Christy was exceptionally easy to work with. I was a Philadelphia girl moving to North Carolina and getting married in Maryland. She was flexible in working with my crazy schedule and made sure we had a practice run and all needed supplies so that on "game day" we were set. Her prices are reasonable and her communication with her clients superb. I recommend her to any brides in the Baltimore/Eastern Shore area.

Christy was hired for both bridal hair and makeup the morning of my wedding. She is great at responding to emails and questions very quickly. Christy also accommodated doing 2 more women's hair the day of the wedding when we had only asked the night before. She did a total of 3 up-do's (including 2 brides) and 2 simple styles. Both my hair and my wife's hair looked beautiful! The only regret I have was my makeup. I wanted flawless skin but of course I had a couple of zits/scabs on my face the day of the wedding. Christy did my eye makeup really well but did not cover my trouble areas around my mouth very well because she did more of a light/sheer look. Looking back I should have been more up front with my expectations of what I wanted because it was the one thing I was really self conscious of the day of my wedding. But years from now, I know I will only remember how happy I was on my wedding day and Christy help make it a bit less stressful!

Christy was great during the trial appointments and for the big day! She was able to not only do my hair and makeup, but she was able to do all of my bridesmaids and my mom! All you needed to do was show her a pic or give her an idea and she did the rest! She was timely and very professional. I would highly recommend Christy for your big day!

Christy was nice to work with. Her prices were great and she traveled to where we were getting ready which was very helpful. I had my hair and makeup done and one of my bridesmaids had her hair done too. I also had a hair trial appointment which is something I really recommend to everyone. I'll be honest after seeing the pictures she took from my hair trial I was a bit worried. The samples didn't look anything like what I was going for or what the pictures I had brought with me looked like. But I contacted her with my concerns along with some additional pictures and she assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. In the end, I was very happy with how both my hair and my bridesmaids hair turned out (both hair styles held up for the entire day even with lots of dancing). She did a beautiful job with my make up too (it was definitely with it not to have to worry about doing my own makeup). She also gave me a cute gift bag/emergency kit which came in handy.

We were happy with the styling that Christy did and it was great to have someone come to my home so that it wasn't yet another place to run around to on my wedding day. She came with enough time to get everyone's hair styled in time. She brought extra hair accessories which my flower girl fell in love with, however, it did add additional cost which I hadn't planned on.

The trail service was great. The day of the wedding she arrived on time as expected but took forever with my mom. It did not turn out as we tought! by the end of the wedding night, it had fallen apart. Plus she was backed up 30 minutes. Which made us late to my wedding. My hair on the other hand was great. Make up was ok. Pricing was ok. She's a very nice peron, and did apoligize for running late.
