Zoe B. Sent on 11/18/2022Talia made my Wedding Day PERFECT
Talia and her team of professionals truly made my day perfect. The moment I reached out asking for a quote and more information, Talia was extremely responsive, enthusiastic and provided so much helpful information. I have naturally curly hair and really wanted my natural curls to be part of my big day and she did the most outstanding job making my natural hair look gorgeous while looking like the best, and truest, version of me. She and her team of professionals did the hair and makeup for my entire bridal party, mother and MIL and everyone looked fantastic! Even after an entire night of dancing and sweating, all of our makeup and hair looked fresh and in place. I also used Talia for an at home spray tan (November NYC wedding) and it was perfect - just enough color to feel confident and expertly applied. You simply can't go wrong with Simple and Sultry! -

Simple and Sultry was an absolute dream to work with. Talia and her team are some of the most talented, skilled, and thoughtful folks I know. For someone that does not wear make-up a lot or knows a lot about hair, Talia was amazing at understanding my 'unclear' hair and make-up vision, offering suggestions for pre-wedding skin care, and extremely responsive to emails prior to the wedding. My hair and makeup stayed all night long and looked stunning in the photos. Talia brings a calm and confident energy to the space they are in and I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Simple and Sultry was wonderful to work with. They did my friend's hair and makeup for her wedding and I knew I had to hire them too!
Talia was an amazing, calm presence from our trial to the wedding day. Talia and her team are so talented, kind, and thoughtful - they made my mother, mother-in-law, and aunt feel so comfortable and beautiful. All of our hair and makeup stayed all night long and looked perfect! -

I would highly recommend working with Talia. I had a very small window for my bridal party and I to get ready and it was really hard to find a vendor who not only could look at my timeline and confidently agree they could make it happen, but that also didn't totally send me into sticker shock. Talia and her team were worth every penny. I didn't have a vision or really a lot of references and neither did my girls. We basically just said "make us pretty" and they asked the little questions here and there to make sure that we all felt stunning by the time they were done. On her way out Talia passed my husband and I taking some photos outside and she noticed a little piece had fallen out of place and she came over with an extra bobby pin and fixed it before leaving. It just showed me, personally, that she really cared about making my day perfect. Highly, highly recommend. -

I am so, so glad I decided to work with Talia for my wedding hair and makeup. From scheduling my hair and makeup trial to a pre-wedding spray tan, Talia was amazing to work with - super responsive, professional, fun to talk to, and of course highly skilled at everything beauty-related! Talia listened closely to my needs, took feedback really well, and created a beautiful, flattering, hair and makeup look for both me and my sister. Could not recommend more highly! -

Hair and Makeup Magic!
Absolutely loved working with Talia and her Simple and Sultry team for my wedding! Talia is very easy to work with, she really gets a sense of your personality and what you are looking to achieve. I personally don't wear heavy makeup usually, so I wanted someone who would understand how to make me look my best while also still looking like myself, and then also be able to understand my guests different makeup needs. She was a makeup and hair magician, and super professional. The makeup and hair stayed on perfectly all night, and she even included a thoughtful little retouch kit for me to use but I barely needed to! Talia and her team made me and my guests look and feel like absolute queens! -

LOVED working with Talia
Talia was so amazing to work with on my wedding day! I booked services for myself, my mother and mother-in-law, and 4 bridesmaids. I actually opted to forgo the trial because everything I saw in Talia's portfolio looked so good, I felt confident I would be happy. And I was not wrong! Everyone in the group was really happy with their hair and makeup. We had people with all different skin tones and there was a match for everyone. Talia and her assistant were both really patient with special requests and with matching colors people wanted for lips and eyes. I especially loved the flowers Talia added to my hair, and how the makeup lasted all night. I even got a little to-go bag with my specially mixed lip color for touch-ups throughout the night! Talia also is just a wonderful person to spend time with. They give you the vibe of a genuinely kind person and you feel safe in their hands. When I was feeling nervous, Talia made me feel calmer, and it was fun just chatting during all the services. I HIGHLY recommend!! -

Talia is a wonderful person and such a talented hair and makeup artist! I was confident from our first email interaction that they were the right choice when they sent an incredibly professional and thorough response that put me at ease. I had never had professional hair or makeup done before and don't wear much makeup in my regular life, and they were so responsive to my requests and questions. They did an amazing job at enhancing my look while making sure I still felt like myself.
Due to the pandemic, I had to postpone my wedding a few times. Talia was so flexible and understanding throughout my multiple postponements and changes of plan (including a second hair trial since I changed my mind about my hairstyle).
On the wedding day, Talia showed me the pictures and videos of the trials to see if I had any changes. Everything was perfect on the first try and didn't require any edits at all. My hairstyle was beautiful and stayed in place the entire night. I didn't have to think about my hair or makeup for the rest of the night, and when I got back from the after party 12+ hours later it still looked flawless.
Talia also brought two additional hair and makeup artists since I had five other people who needed hair and makeup services. They were both great and everyone in the wedding party looked amazing. I've heard that hair and makeup often takes longer than scheduled, but I believe we were not only on time but ahead of schedule, which gave everyone more time to relax before the event started.
Talia is such a professional and also such a lovely person. Their calming but fun presence set the perfect tone as we got ready during the morning of the event. If you want to feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, I highly recommend booking Talia! (Photos by Golden Hour Studios) -

Tegan D. Sent on 06/01/2021Definitely book Talia for your event!!!
You definitely want to book Talia for your next event! She was an absolute joy to work with. From our first chat with her I knew she would do a fantastic job. I was completely unaware of weddings/not used to getting my hair and makeup done and she was so thorough and patient with me, giving me suggestions along the way. She was quick to respond and easy to talk to. On our wedding day, she did a fantastic job on all of my 5 bridesmaids and even 2 moms, keeping everything running smoothly. Definitely highly recommend her to everyone! -

Suzanne Sent on 05/06/2021Talia is *simply* the best :)
Talia first and foremost, is someone I would love to hang out with outside of make up - and that is super important when you’re naked and someone is spraying you with tan before your wedding day! I had a lot of feelings as a COVID bride and Talia was such a gentle soul that allowed me to vent without adding kerosene to the fire - not an easy task when a bride is especially pissed off at someone LOL. I love make up and very familiar with tanning, so I knew Talia and I would have a fun time making me look like a bride. However my Mother and Mother in Law were the other two I wanted to treat to make up and hair and they were the ones I was worried about. Women with short hair in their 60’s aren’t looking to get a ton of crazy make up, which is where the simple part of Talia’s make up and hair was SO GOOD. My Mother in Law has pixie cut short hair, and Talia still made it look not only different, but GREAT! My Mother is a tough cookie and after everything was done, she didn’t say anything, but she smiled really big (Polish people understand we don’t really like compliments or smiling unless we really mean it). They both looked WONDERFUL and completely natural, but glowing. It’s easy to make a 30 year old bride look beautiful IMO but to also make others look and feel great without looking like a different human is so important and Talia delivered 10000%. My tan was perfect without any orange (once again, Polish, so very pale) yet I did not look I randomly am a different skin tone. SUPER important. I did a trial tan because I use self tanner but wanted it professionally done for the wedding, but I recommend it to any brides who are novices to the tan, it really REALLY helps make your jewelry and dress pop, and after a year in a shoebox apartment in NYC, I wanted to look like I saw sunlight before lol. THANK YOU TALIA!!! Hire her, she will be the therapist you need on your wedding day -

Samantha P. Sent on 11/10/2020Talia is the best!
Talia is amazing! I never wear make-up and rarely brush my hair, so I was nervous about having mine done for my elopement. I wanted to feel beautiful and special, but I didn't want to be unrecognizable when I looked at myself in the mirror. Talia listened to all of my preferences, all of my concerns and then totally nailed it with ease! Plus, she was fun to be around throughout the process. My MOH had an updo done by Talia and it was perfect. Looking forward to working with Talia again in 2021 for the reception portion of our wedding. -

Alison K. Sent on 10/20/2020Flawless styling and great to work with!
I reached out to Talia as I was drawn to her hair styling. She provided a very thorough email and also asked for examples of styles I liked and did not like. That helped me feel at ease with the process and her understanding of what I would want. During the trial, we tried a few styles/iterations. Talia recorded all of the styles and took photos as well so I could review them afterwards. That was so great to be able to take some time to consider what would work best.
On the day of the wedding, she nailed the style in one go! The style was exactly what I wanted and it stayed up for at least 12 hours, without being uncomfortable. Throughout this process, she was great about safety with regards to COVID and I felt very comfortable working with her. She was an absolute dream to work with and fun to hang with during these sessions. -

#1- you MUST use Talia from Simple + Sultry, she will make you look like the most beautiful version of yourself for your wedding day!
From day 1 of contacting her, Talia answered all of my questions quickly and was so so nice! I have only had my hair and makeup done a few times professionally, so I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. I told her I wanted to look like my best version of myself, and sent her a few pictures of what I would like for my hair. She came to my apartment and made me feel so relaxed, did her magic, and everything was perfect! She asked me important questions as she worked and made me look exactly as I wanted to.
Come my wedding day, her and her assistant did my hair and makeup as well as my mom's and sisters and we had such a blast chatting and relaxing with them while they made us beautiful! All my guests gushed over how stunning my hair was, and how flawless my makeup was. Even my now husband who's #1 request was that I look like myself absolutely loved my makeup.
Talia made me feel like the best version of myself, and for her I am forever grateful for my dream come true wedding day! -

Sarah R. Sent on 05/28/2020Amazing! So professional and friendly, I loved my hair and makeup!
Talia was incredible! I had a hair and makeup trial with her a few months before the wedding, and she was so responsive to my requests/suggestions (she's also so friendly and wonderful to talk to!). She did wedding hair and makeup for my sister and me, and we loved the results! Our makeup was beautiful but not too heavy, it looked great but we still looked like ourselves and it felt very natural (we went for airbrush makeup and I didn't feel like I was covered in layers of heavy foundation, and my skin looked amazing). My hair and makeup looked amazing throughout the day...our photos started at 10:30 a.m. and the reception after the wedding lasted until around 5 p.m. I felt great the whole time! Talia was such a joy to work with and I can't recommend her enough. -
