Alyssa Sent on 12/07/2017I went to Joli Beauty Bar for hair and makeup for my NYC engagement photos after searching and searching for somewhere somewhat affordable with amazing makeup artists -- I actually never planned to get my hair done until I found Joli and their affordable prices won me over! Charde did my hair and makeup and she did an AMAZING job!!! I seriously cannot say enough nice things about Charde -- from her incredible talent to her warm, friendly personality, she was simply the best! It was pretty early (and a weekday) when I went, so it was just me, Charde, and co-owner Zsuzsi in the salon while I was there and they made me feel so comfortable and at home -- I seriously felt like I was hanging out with friends, which helped me relax before my engagement photos. I looked and felt INCREDIBLE for my engagement photos and I would highly, highly, highly recommend Joli Beauty Bar to anyone in need of Hair and/or Make Up services! -
Lisa Sent on 10/02/2017Overall, what I loved about my experience with Joli Beauty Bar is that I looked exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day, because they listened to me and knew how to do beautiful hair and makeup. They made me feel as relaxed as possible, and just... really welcomed. I had done a trial with another well-rated (more expensive) wedding makeup artist, but honestly - the quality was not nearly as good as Joli BB, and I didn't feel comfortable with her to be honest about what I liked and didn't.
1) Quality of Hair and Makeup - Charde was my artist. I had a specific look in mind, and she nailed it and made it even better. My hair was old-school gorgeous but still modern, and my make up made me look like my best self (clear skin, not too much eyeshadow, gorgeous bold lip). I liked that she could do something a bit different from the standard bridal makeup. I also loved that she was clearly listening to my feedback (e.g. "more coverage; more matte"). She is really capable and warm.
2) Professionalism and Flexibility - It is really important that Zsuzsi (owner) was so flexible. Rescheduled trials; increasing the number of girls in my bridal party at the last minute... ahhh, she handled it so well - really responsive, clear, and easygoing. She just seemed to care about me feeling less stressed, and demonstrated that across the entire experience I had with her.
3) The Vibe - We got ready at the salon, and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. The team at Joli made us feel relaxed, but also in good hands. We mostly got done on time (one artist was a little slower than others). We had champagne and bagels, and it was glorious. I much preferred getting ready at the salon than a hotel, because a) its cheaper; 2) we had the whole place to ourselves; 3) I got changed into my dress there, and the photographer came and took some cute, quick shots of us.
4) Value - it ended up being less expensive than other places.
Go here. It takes one really big, important thing off your plate. -

Jacqueline Sent on 10/11/2016I walked in to Joli for a wedding hair trial and within seconds....instant good vibes. I've tried a ton of salons in NYC. No where else compares. Most other beauty bars feel contrived and cliche. Even "high-end" salons don't get it right - you end up feeling like you're there for them when you should feel like they are there for you. Joli puts their clients wants and needs first and the salon feels more like you're at a friend's cute and cozy East Village apartment vs. a beauty bar. From the adorable space to the perfectly themed playlists and (most important) the lovely ladies that work there - everything at Joli perfection. They have superb taste and attention to detail, years of experience, passion for their craft and are so accommodating. But, above all, the people at Joli are so fun to be around. If you're looking for a feel good salon that knows what's up...Joli is your place. -
User2574572 Sent on 04/12/2016I came upon their recommendation through a few different Wedding Dress Boutiques.
Not only were they great to meet and do trials with, on the day of I needed to be there at 7:30am and were more than happy to.
Both of the Partners at Joli (Zsuzsi and Meg) are amazing as to what you want for your wedding. They were so accommodating and wanted to ensure that I was comfortable with the make-up and hair (especially on the day of).
AND if there's an emergency (which I had a few of), they are willing to reschedule at a moment's notice.
The make-up and hair artist, Alicia, was wonderful too.
After the trial, they asked me about everything and on the day of we did a few changes. She and Zsuzsi went above and beyond to make sure I was, not only happy, but comfortable with myself and everything.
I would recommend them to anyone and just even for a blow-out/hair-cut / make-up. They were phenomenal. -
User2557620 Sent on 03/20/2016I had an amazing experience at Joli Beauty Bar. The space is beautiful and modern, newly renovated, and a perfect size for my bridal party. There are 6 chairs in the front, with 2 in the private room in the back. My artist Charde did a kick-axx job with my make up. And when my mom asked for modifications for her makeup, the artist was very accommodating and delivered it exactly as asked. Music was great, food and beverage made it a great party to kick off my big day. I would highly recommend this place!
