    Wedding Guest

    Lari cut and colored my hair a few days before, then styled it for the big event. My hair is thin and fine, so she used special products and was able to curl it in such a way that it felt and looked much fuller. It was exactly what I wanted!

    I was in a stressful situation which Lari not only relieved but turned into a positive experience with a great outcome.

    Everyone has been in a “hair dilemma” and mine was recent when I was unexpectedly invited to an important formal affair. My hair was a mess and Lari put me at ease and then delivered an extraordinary product. An exquisite cut and a custom color that is so rich and natural. She got me out of a jam and I will stay with her and her impressive skills.

    Great in every way

    Lari was attentive to my vision for hair and makeup for our special wedding day. She responded quickly to my inquiry, was on time, accommodated our personal requests and was great in every way.

    Thank you so much Maria, I was honored to be a part of your wedding team! It is very much a collaboration, and you were very easy to work with.

    Amazing experience

    Working with Lari was seamless. She matched me with an amazing artist that lived in the city so I didn't have to travel for the trials! Everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup.

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Linda was delighted to work with you and your bridal party! We are very lucky to have her in NYC and also be part of our team.

    Wonderful experience

    We used Lari Manz for the hair and makeup at both my own wedding and at my brother's wedding this past summer. On both occasions the stylists/artists (Linda and Eve) were on time, friendly, professional, fun, and created a wonderful atmosphere in the getting-ready room. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the whole wedding party felt great about their looks. I would strongly recommend hiring them for your wedding!

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you for the appreciation. We LOVE our work, and are happy to be part of the big day. We strive to create a relaxed fun atmosphere.

    Beyond thrilled

    Linda was an absolute dream, I’m so thrilled I found her through Lari Manz. I really wanted a natural look, but all the places I was looking at that claimed to do "natural" still felt way overdone to me. Photos from Lari’s site looked promising, but I was still nervous going in. It couldn't have gone better. Linda went above and beyond at our consultation (very convenient for NYC-based brides!). She took her time, was great at both listening to what I wanted and offering suggestions, and didn’t stop until I was happy with my look. On the day, Linda and Deb were warm and lovely. Everyone looked gorgeous, and my hair and makeup especially were exactly what I wanted (and stayed put all night!). If wedding makeup makes you nervous, these are the people for you.

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a detailed, lovely review! We love Linda and Deb too. They’re both very experienced and naturally talented.

    As the mother of the groom I needed professional help to be ready for the big day. Lari took care of doing my hair and makeup. I was very pleased with the results.

    Great hair/makeup service at two weddings

    Lari's team provided hair and makeup service for us for two weddings this summer! We were thrilled with both experiences! We worked with three stylists (Linda, Stacey, and Eve) for my daughter's wedding in July and loved all three. They did hair and makeup for the bride, two moms, and 6 bridesmaids. We all felt beautiful and found the stylists professional, courteous, and fun! We rehired them for my son's wedding two months later and were equally satisfied. I highly recommend this team!

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you Karen for your kind words. I am very blessed to have such a great team! Likewise, they all had a very positive experience with you and your family & friends.

    Excellent experience, made me feel at ease, and beautiful.

    Lari was well worth gearing my hair and makeup done for 8.30.22. Her makeup application made be look glowing, and beautiful. I felt relaxed and at ease in her hands. She knows her stuff. Highly recommend her. Lari is the professional to go to.

    great wedding hair and makeup

    Lari assigned Jessica to come to our wedding hotel and she was fantastic! She did hair and makeup on the bride, her sisters and me (mom). we were not only very pleased with her work, she was so lovely and eased the bride’s pre-wedding jitters. It was a great experience and a good value ( we had shopped around). Thank you!

    Loved my look! Made me super gorgeous for the big day.

    I was SO impressed with what Lari was able to make my hair do and how good I looked on my big day. She was calm (a lot calmer than I was... lol), courteous, and professional from the trial to the finishing touches before I walked down the aisle. I was very glad to have her working her magic!

    Thank you Kelly, it was a great pleasure and honor to be part of your bridal team! I’m so glad to hear you felt supported and beautiful on your important day!

    Glad to be a bridesmaid at this wedding!

    My best friend had her wedding last weekend in the Hudson Valley, and Lari and her team did the hair & makeup for the bride and all of the bridesmaids. She had an amazing talent for making all of us feel at ease in her presence. We had a blast getting ready for the wedding, and more important, we all looked amazing when Lari was through with us. We were all very impressed with her hair & makeup team!

    So happy with everything!

    Due to COVID, I had to change the time of our wedding. Lari was responsive and flexible with the last minute time changes. Linda and Laura were very professional and wore masks the whole time to ensure our safety. Everyone loved their hair and make up! I have A LOT of hair (very long and it's thick) and I got it put up in a beautiful updo. Usually my hair will fall right out of an updo bc it's so heavy so I was nervous, but it stayed in place the whole time. Highly recommend!

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    We were very happy to be able to work with your bridal party during these uncertain times and thank you all for making safety a priority. Awesome to hear that your hair looked beautiful and stayed that way!

    Beautiful, Natural Looking Makeup and Guidance

    Lari is an absolute pro. I am not used to wearing makeup or styling my hair, and I am so glad I went with Lari for the day of. I am not often clear on what I want for styling - Lari truly listened to what I was asking for and made sure it translated into the look I wanted on the day of. She came to our venue, at our request (due to the pandemic) set up outdoors, and worked on my bridesmaids’ hair and my hair and makeup. My bridesmaids and I were all thrilled with the results and Lari’s versatility in styling!

    As we were planning, I also really appreciated that Lari kept in touch and stayed flexible as we figured how our wedding would change in 2020.

    Thank you Sara for the detailed review and for including the beautiful pictures! It was a perfect day and a lovely bridal party, so I was honored to be a part of it.

    Lari was great!

    I found Lari online at the last minute for my completely revamped microwedding this summer. She was kind, flexible, very cautious of health/safety and easy to work with. I am very picky about my hair rand makeup and I was thrilled with both. Soft, subtle and I felt like myself. Hire her!

    Lari Manz Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you L, it was a pleasure to work with you and your family & friends, especially in such a local historic setting. Feeling like yourself on the Big day is SO important!

    Great experience

    Lari was doing my hair and make up for our wedding last Saturday and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We had a destination wedding so I did not get a chance to do a trial but no regrets there. I sent Lari some reference pictures and she did exactly what I had in mind for both hair and make up. Lari arrived on time and the whole process took exactly as long as she predicted so I was ready for our first look and on top of that she’s a lovely person to chat with. Definitely recommend booking her for your big day 😊

    Really listened to our needs and matched our styles

    My bridesmaids and I were so happy with the work of Lari and her makeup team. We were all impressed by how in tune they were with our respective styles, and they did a great job asking us what we were looking for in our styles and then checking in at various points to make sure we were on track. And I had such a fun time with Lari during my bridal makeup trial! I was very pleased with Lari Manz Hair & Makeup and would recommend them to any other brides-to-be!

    Could not have been happier!!

    From the moment I met Lari and had my initial bridal trial, I knew that I had found my “go to” specialist for all things hair and makeup related. Not only is she down to earth and chill but she is the consummate professional. She not only provided hair and makeup to me and my bridesmaids but she also did my blow out for engagement photos. She is a true gem and I highly recommend her for all of your hair and makeup needs!

    The most relaxed day imaginable.

    Working with Lari, Laura and Eve was phenomenal - they were prompt, professional, and more importantly, really calm and relaxing on the day. We had lots of logistics with 4 bridesmaids, 2 sisters, 2 moms and me, and they didn't bat an eye. Laura and Eve listened closely to what each woman wanted and everyone felt and looked beautiful on the day, and the makeup stayed perfectly. I highly recommend them!

    One of the most talented hair & makeup artists in the Hudson Valley

    I don't think it's a stretch at all to say Lari is one of the most talented hair and makeup artists in the Hudson Valley. She and her team are flexible, easy to be around, and were one of the best vendors at our wedding at listening to what me and my bridesmaids were asking for and responding with good questions and feedback. Truly an A+ operation.

    Go-to hair and makeup artist in the Hudson Valley

    If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist for a wedding in the Hudson Valley, Lari and her team should be at the top of your list of potential candidates. She's totally down to earth, professional, and is far more experienced than many of the other stylists I was also considering. My bridal style turned out absolutely gorgeous, and Lari gave me tons of ideas for hair products that I can use in the future.

    Retiring with glamour

    A few years ago I retired from the major orchestra where I had played for decades. It was kind of a big deal—new publicity photo, making a speech at the concert, big after-concert reception and dinner—and I was the focus of quite a bit of attention. Lari gave me the most amazing color, long bob cut and the world’s best blowout, and I felt amazing. She is a master of dealing with hair, whether coaxing it straight or helping it curl, and her cuts are a thing of beauty.
    She will make you feel and look beautiful!

    Come for the updo and makeup styles, leave with great holistic health remedies

    I was so, so impressed by Lari. She really knows her stuff – not just styles and hair and makeup products but also holistic health aspects for hair and skin. She was a really good resource during my bridal trial about holistic hair and skin treatments I could be using as much as she was an expert in updos and products. I'm still using one of the daily facial creams she recommended.

    She made me and all of my bridesmaids feel at ease in her chair.

    Lari is the first of the vendors that I hired for my wedding that I'm sitting down to review because she was the absolute best. Of all the things that can go wrong on your wedding day, your hair and makeup is one of the more high-stakes things – and with Lari, you're in good hands. She's a true professional in every sense but also fun to talk to and very laid back. She made me and all of my bridesmaids feel at ease in her chair.
