    Amazing Studio - Highly recommend!

    Monica and her team recently worked my wedding on 6-5-21 and they were amazing! From my trial hair and makeup to my wedding day she made me feel so beautiful and special. I had eight bridesmaids as well as my mother and my mother-in-law and she and her team finished our hair and makeup according to schedule and we did not feel rushed. Everyone looked so beautiful and our airbrush make up worked perfectly for an 80 degree sunny day! I cannot say enough good things about Elite Beauty Studio and would highly recommend them!

    Bride Review

    I recently had Monica do my bridal makeup as well as my bridesmaids’ and all I can say is WOW!!! Her and her team made me and my girls feel like princesses all day long. We received so many compliments on our makeup. Our hair and makeup held up all day long even with some tears!! Monica is extremely helpful and flexible with ever changing plans! I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Perfection!

    I can’t say enough good things about Monica and her team! She made me and all of my ladies look and feel like queens. The day turned out absolutely perfect and the hair and makeup lasted through tears at the church, the many post ceremony pictures, a crazy limo ride, and a night of endless dancing! Thank you Monica!

    Elite Beauty Studio's reply:

    Thank you so much Brianna!!
    You and your girls looked absolutely beautiful, thank you for this amazing review ❤️
    I wish you and the hubby a lifetime of happiness!

    Great experience!

    Monica did an amazing job on hair and makeup for myself, bridesmaids, and mothers. She listened to our ideas and helped turn into reality. She also has a very calming demeanor that put us all at ease as we worked with her. Highly recommend!!

    Wonderful!

    We loved having Monica being a part of our morning. She came to our hotel and helped me and 5 of my bridesmaids get to be the most beautiful version of ourselves. She did a fantastic job, listened to what people wanted, was a great value, not to mention a fun and happy person to have around. Highly recommended!

    Monica Made Me Feel Like a Princess

    Monica and her crew were AMAZING. I am not a big makeup person however Monica was able to make me actually feel like a princess without overdoing it. She is a specialist and amazing at her job. She is friendly, knowledgable, and an artist! I could never thank her enough for making me feel truly beautiful on the biggest day of my life!!

    Excellent!

    Monica did an absolutely wonderful job for our wedding! She was friendly, easy to work with, and very efficient. I have never felt more beautiful, and the hair and makeup lasted throughout the evening without any issues. I would recommend Monica to everyone!

    Perfect Hair & Makeup!

    Monica of Elite Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing for my wedding day. I had done a trial run with her for my bridal shower, but decided to switch up both my hair and makeup looks before my actual wedding day, and Monica 100% nailed it. I told her the general look I wanted for my hair, and when I saw it in the mirror when she was finished I was floored. She gave me the most beautiful updo, listened to everything I said and gave me the exact look I wanted. And the airbrush makeup was perfectly blended into my skin tone, it lasted all day through my crying and sweating, and everything held up so well. She is VERY good at what she does and I highly recommend her! Thank you Monica!!

    Elite Beauty Studio's reply:

    Thank you so much Shalene and you looked absolutely beautiful! I wish you a lifetime of happiness with the new hubs

    Beautiful hair and makeup

    So helpful in giving me exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I had a 50's themed wedding and she hit everything on point with hair and makeup for myself and my girls. I will use her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone in need of services.

    I highly recommend Monica to any bride!! She is so sweet and was great to work with. The airbrush foundation lasted all day and looked so natural. Monica and her assistant listened to everyone's requests and the whole bridal party was so happy with their hair and makeup! Her prices are very reasonable and it was so convenient to have her travel to us the morning of the wedding! Thanks Monica!!

    Monica is amazing at Walmart she does. Very friendly and wonderful. The makeup she did was amazing for my wedding. Lasted all day and felt very lightweight. We also had separate hairstylist helping us get ready that morning. Monica worked along side them very well and coordinated everyone who needed to get their make up done. The entire morning went smooth. The make up came out amazing. And her company was very pleasant. Overall I’d recommend her to anyone! :)

    Monica was wonderful! She was extremely responsive via email, and very helpful in setting up our trial and confirming wedding day details. She was so upbeat and positive, I loved having both her and her colleague as part of our morning. Everyone was so happy with their hair and make up. It was so convenient that she did both hair and makeup, so it was less vendors to coordinate. I would highly recommend her service!

    I'm not sure where to start when talking about Monica/Elite Beauty Studio. She was very prompt when I was first reaching out to make-up artists/hair stylists in the Syracuse area regarding my December 30th wedding. When I finally got to meet her, she's so warm and professional, very good about explaining services and finding out what my preferences for hair/makeup are. Our trial run was about 5 months prior to my wedding and I was 100% in love with it, never second-guessed anything we talked about or had planned on for day-of services. I did change my mind like the day before the wedding, deciding that I wanted airbrush instead of traditional makeup and she was totally cool with it. She brought herself and an assistant to my venue to get myself, my 7 bridesmaids, and my husband (ahh!) and my's mom's hair and makeup. Everyone had different ideas about what they wanted and she/her assistant made everyone very happy. Start time was early but everything leading up to our getting ready professional photos and first look was right on time. They were very pleasant and were great about keeping the wedding nerves down. I'm so happy with what I've seen so far of photographs. My hair was perfect! Her prices are very reasonable. I'll be singing her praises and recommending her to everyone I can and will be contacting her again if I ever need event makeup in the future. Thank you so much, Monica!

    Monica was amazing. She was so flexible! Her and her assistant, who was equally as amazing, met us at my parents house the morning of the wedding to get us all ready. Seriously, the feeling of getting your hair and makeup done, is a wonderful one and should not be excluded on your big day! And for that, I highly recommend Elite Beauty Stuido!

    This review is a little late, but I still felt the need to express my gratitude. After falling short on a few makeup artists for my big day, and one completely becoming unresponsive (even after she had been booked) Monica came to the rescue. Not only was she absolutely amazing, responsive and my hero, she travel from Syracuse to Rochester at the break of dawn in the rain to work her magic on me and my ladies. She worked fast, efficient and everyone looked gorgeous. Im beyond happy with her and her work from the beginning and our consultation all the way up to the day of. Thank you for everything and making me and my girls look/feel beautiful that day! You really saved the day!!

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful an experience I had with Elite Beauty Studio- from consultation to day of the wedding, everything was just so perfect. Monica and Megan did a fantastic job on everything- I had 5 ladies in my bridal party, my mother and myself- not only were they quick but we all just looked so gorgeous! These ladies have an eye for making you look your best by flattering your individual and unique beauty by accommodating your requests, needs and wants- I wish I could have them do my hair and makeup for me every day! Its rare to find true talent, grace, quality and professionalism in this industry. I HIGHLY recommend Elite Beauty Studio- they are incredibly talented people and you will look fantastic!

    Monica was the second makeup artist I had done a trial with and she was truly amazing in every regard. The first artist I had left me crying, but Monica did an amazing job making me feel confident in myself. For my trial, Monica was super attentive in what I was looking for and talked me through the entire process. As someone who does not wear makeup, I was nervous to see the end result. Monica shared every step of her process and really made my look feel and look so natural.

    On the day of my wedding, Monica worked on myself, my matron of honor, one bridesmaid and the mothers of the groom and bride. Every single one of us looked stunning. The most amazing aspect of Monica's work is how incredible she was with skin tones. Between myself and my two girls, the three of us have light, tan, and dark skin and Monica was able to make us all look beautiful in our own skin.

    Monica is extremely professional, but what I loved most about her was how relatable she was and her personality. Monica stayed with us at our bed and breakfast the day of the wedding and it felt like I had another friend in the room. She is truly kind and especially talented and we loved having her in our presence.

    The airbrush makeup is honestly something I would recommend to anyone. Between crying and sweating on the day of the wedding, you would have never guessed. The airbrush stayed on perfectly, even through the night and into the next morning without imperfection!

    I would highly recommend Elite Beauty and Monica Brandt! You will not be disappointed. She is truly an artist and the most amazing person. Thank you Monica for making my wedding day so special!

    I hired Monica to do my bridal hair and makeup, as well as my 3 bridesmaids and my mother! She is very professional, quick with responses and is extremely talented! She is able to take ideas, pictures and references you have and bring them to life! My hair and makeup came out exactly as I had imagined! The trial I had with her prior to the wedding calmed my nerves, for I knew I would look flawless on my big day!

    The airbrush makeup is simply flawless! It lasted all day, night and even into the next morning, my bridesmaids and I attended brunch the next morning appearing as if we just got everything done! I highly recommend Elite Beauty Studio & Monica Brandt as a go-to for weddings, photoshoots and professional hair/makeup! Thank you again for making my day even more perfect & special !!

    I spent some time looking around for someone to do hair and makeup for my wedding who would come to the hotel where we were getting ready. A lot of stylists I talked to were overpriced or not very responsive. Talking to Monica at Elite Beauty Studio was so refreshing because she was so friendly, professional, responsive, reasonably priced, and she and her assistant did a great job! Everyone was really happy with how their hair and makeup turned out.

    Beautiful hair for my bridal party!

    I was thrilled with the services Monica provided for my wedding! She did a phenomenal job and was such a pleasure to work with. Everyone loved their hair and they still looked flawless at the after party! Also, she was extremely flexible as the number of people requiring services shifted. It really helped to take a lot of the stress and anxiety out of wedding planning!
