    Absolutely seemless!

    This group was the perfect group of people to start off my wedding day (at the crack of dawn - 5am)! Jenn & her team were very communicative throughout the whole process and super flexible. Everyone is very professional and easy to talk to for the 30 - 50 minutes your in a chair with them. My hair and makeup lasted for over 12 hours (my eyelashes even stayed on in the shower). If you are in the area - I HIGHLY recommend Gloss Philly. I did a lot of price quoting with other vendors, and honestly this team is pretty competitive in pricing and deliver such quality for such a huge part of your day.

    The photo of me on the floor is AFTER the ceremony and reception (lots of dancing and sweating and my face is still INTACT!!)

    Incredibly talented team of super kind women!

    Jenn and the team at Gloss are truly the best. Their pricing is competitive and fair, and the services you get are truly next-level. Jenn is super flexible, funny, and friendly -- she can make a bride feel completely at ease on a really stressful day.

    My bridesmaids and I all loved our wedding day looks. The team is incredible at taking your inspiration and applying, and everyone ended up so happy with their hair and makeup.

    I would also 100% recommend extending your services for touch-ups to have Jenn hang around up until the ceremony -- she was running around like crazy making sure everyone's hair and makeup was perfect.

    Truly a 10/10 vendor team! Thanks so much Gloss!

    Fantastic!

    Jennifer and Karalee were wonderful. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I were all thrilled with how we looked. I ended up changing my hairstyle the day of my wedding from the trial because it was going to be over 90 degrees. Jenn was totally on top of it, and took my somewhat unclear thoughts as to how I wanted to adapt the original style for the weather and created a look that I absolutely loved and was perfect for the hot day. I also highly recommend Jenn for curly hair, as both me and my sister loved how Jenn managed our natural curls.

    Jennifer is THE BEST!

    Jennifer did our makeup for a friends wedding that I was in and I HAD to have her do my makeup for my own wedding. She is so knowledgable and skilled at what she does, and makes everyone feel comfortable even if they don't typically wear makeup. She is easy to communicate with and so much fun to work with! I LOVED my makeup for my wedding and my bridesmaids and family members raved about their makeup too!! Would definitely recommend Gloss!!

    You will not be disappointed!

    Karalee did my makeup for a wedding I was in during Nov. 2021. When I say that I had never felt more beautiful - I mean it. I gave no direction with what I wanted, and she knocked it out of the park!! Not only is she super talented, she is so easy to be around. Only "negative" is that I now want to go buy all the products she used to try and recreate what she did (knowing full well that I wont be able to do my makeup like she did mine lol).

    I highly recommend using Gloss for your next event! I looked to working with them again in the future!

    Best of the best

    Jennifer and Erica made my bridesmaids, my Mom and I feel and look our best for my wedding. Jennifer gave us all a more natural (read: not cake face) look, which is exactly what we wanted. Jennifer worked her magic on 3 different ethnicities and everyone looked beautiful. Erica did a different hair style on all 7 of us, and we were all thrilled with the results. One of my bridesmaids even hired Gloss for her own wedding following her experience with them at mine. I look very forward to getting my hair and makeup done by Gloss again!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Can't say enough good things about Gloss hair and makeup. I worked with Jenn to plan out the day, Danielle did my hair and makeup (bride) and I absolutely love that she did. I have never felt more beautiful and my ladies looked absolutely gorgeous. Even when we added another lady (my aunt from out of town) to the schedule they were gracious and still kept us on time. Our makeup looked so beautiful even at the end if the night, my hair stayed in place the whole time too. So lucky to have found them

    Absolutely Amazing

    Jennifer and her team at Gloss Philly were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Starting with my hair and make-up trial I felt like I made a friend for life! Jennifer makes you so comfortable.
    We had 10 ladies getting make-up done and 12 ladies getting hair done and it was a seamless process. The ladies from Gloss Philly made each of us more beautiful then the next and every, single girl felt like a princess. We all felt like royalty with our hair and make-up done. Not a single hair out place, not a eyelash uncurled, or lip unlined.
    I would hire Gloss Philly again even for a night out on the town. They are very reasonable, responsive and respectful.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day one to remember.
    Jennifer- you truly are great at what you do.
    Thank you!!

    AMAZING! Makeup stayed on forever and all services were perfection!

    Jenn did a fantastic job for my wedding.
    She did a total of 7 services alone and everyone who she did her work on looked absolutely stunning. Her knowledge in hair and make up is extensive, and she helped me cover my flaws/insecurities on my face and truly enhance my beauty. I woke up at 4am on my wedding night and realized my lashes were still on! I felt absolutely flawless and perfect. She works some odd hours for her "day" job but she always would respond same day if not within 48 hours.

    Felt beautiful on my wedding day !

    Jennifer came to my hotel and did an amazing job on my wedding makeup and hair. She did an amazing job on my teenage daughter as well. Have hired her again for family portraits as well. Feel so lucky to have found her and had her there calming me the morning of my wedding. Great artist and person!

    I was referred to Jenn by a friend for makeup and hair needs, for a last minute wedding I was attending. Jenn was prompt with contacting me back and penciled me in such short notice. She went above and beyond with both my services, took her time to make sure every little detail was perfect, (which it was) was also extremely professional and friendly, I will definitely be booking with her and her team for any other services that I will need!

    Jenn and Katey were AMAZING!!! They made my girls and I look absolutely amazing and I am so thankful for all that they did on our big day! Jenn is very easy to communicate with and was always responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns that I may have had. Katey took care of everyones hair and all of the girls raved about how much they loved their looks! The girls travelled to my wedding venue and were even early to get things started! They were fun and very relaxed allowing me to feel relaxed and at ease on my big day! Thankful to have found you ladies, highly recommend this company, you will not be disappointed!!!

    Jennifer and her team were phenomenal. They got 10 people ready (hair and makeup) within 3 1/2 hours before my morning wedding. Jenn was extremely responsive in setting up trials, etc. They did airbrushing and fake eyelashes (which are included in the price). They arrived early and were fun to work with on the day of. Meghan did my hair and was absoultely amazing. Would HIGHLY recommend!

    I utilized Gloss Philly's makeup services for my wedding on 7/11/15. Jen Pomante was our makeup artist and I can't give her a high enough rating. She did makeup for myself, my two bridesmaids, my Mom and my MIL. Across this wide range of ages and complexions, she did a phenomenal job! She thinks I'm the time to listen to what everyone wanted and executed it flawlessly. In addition, Jen is very down to earth and professional. You can tell that she really takes her time to make you look your best! I would highly recommend Jen Pomante for your wedding gbot any other special event you may have!

    If I could, I'd give Jennifer ten thousand stars. She was amazing. One of the nicest people I've ever met, she was totally willing to do anything and go anywhere if it meant making my wedding perfect. She gave me several options for both hair and makeup during our trial, she was completely flexible about the schedule, and she even offered to help out with centerpieces! Best of all, she made me feel more beautiful than I ever thought I could feel. If you are getting married anywhere near Philadelphia, consider booking her services.

    I honestly LOVED Jen! She came with the hairstylist I booked and I couldn't have been happier! I don't usually wear makeup, and I told her that. She made me feel SO beautiful and I didn't even feel like I had make up on! After seeing her work, the bridesmaids who didn't want their makeup done, ended up changing their minds! Jen was able to accommodate and get the extra girls done on time! Everyone loved how they looked and so did I!!

    Jennifer and her team at Gloss Makeup and Hair Artistry are simply the best! I have never been in a wedding where every single bridesmaid looked absolutely perfect. Jennifer and Stephanie made my girls look flawless. I wish I had a wedding or an event every weekend just so I can use them again! Jennifer made me feel and look like the most beautiful bride in the world and my guest kept complimenting me on my hair and makeup throughout the night.
    Jennifer is beyond talented in both makeup and hair. I have extremely oily skin and I've never had makeup last more than 8 hours before looking like a shinny mess. Jennifer knew exactly what she was doing and created a makeup look on me that literally lasted 10+ hours. I looked flawless for the whole night and did not want to wash my face at the end of the night because her work was so beautiful.
    After my first hair trial (which came out beautiful) I decided I wanted to change the style, not because it didn't look good just because I wanted to go for a more rustic look. I contacted Jennifer explaining things and she was so sweet and accommodating saying I could come back for a second trial, which also turned out beautiful. About a week before my wedding I found a tiara and decided to wear that instead, which would change my hair style again (I am a very indecisive person). The morning of my wedding I explained this to Jennifer and she worked the tiara into a new style which came out FABULOUS! Steph and Jennifer were so patient and accommodating with me throughout the whole process including with my mother-in-law & grandmother-in-law that did not speak English. My 5 bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and Grandmother of the groom were so happy with how they looked.
    Jennifer and Stephanie were professional, on-time, friendly and extremely talented. They are so much fun and so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Gloss Makeup and Hair Artistry and I really hope to work with them again real soon!

    Jennifer was amazing! She was professional, flexible, friendly, outgoing, punctual, you name it. She did my hair (bride) and my maid of honors hair along with my makeup and all my 6 girls and my mom. Everyone was extremely happy. She did everything how we wanted it to be. I honestly couldnt have asked for a better hair and makeup artist. I will definitely use her in the future for any other beauty needs and I highly recommend her.

    Jenn was so great! She had ideas for my make-up because I had none. She had a huge variety of make-up for all skin types. She was also fast without being sloppy! She didn't do my hair that day but I know she can rock that too!
