Michelle Sent on 09/16/2019Felt like the most beautiful bride!
Melissa (Hair) and Tiffany (Makeup) are the best! They are professional, kind, and devote just as much time to each member of your bridal party as they do for the bride. I have been going to Melissa for years for my hair, so there was no question she was the right choice for me. Tiffany (makeup), I had met recently, and had a trial for my engagement shoot. It was the HOTTEST day of the year, and my makeup (and hair) lasted all day long until the evening shoot in 95 degree weather with 100% humidity. I also had Melissa and Tiffany do me up for my bridal shower - they are a tag team, and have been working together forever. On the day of my wedding, I had a tight schedule with hair/makeup before pictures where everyone had to be ready, and they both assured me that they’d work within the time they had. Needless to say the day of, all went smoothly! My bridesmaids we’re so happy with their looks the day of, one of them admitting that her hair that day may have been better than her own wedding day updo. Thank you both for putting me at ease, and making me feel like the most beautiful bride ever! -

Thank you Melissa and Tiffany for glamming us up for our New Year's Eve wedding! As someone who wears almost no makeup and has a no-fuss hair routine (wash it, brush it, and go) I was very glad to be in Melissa and Tiffany's hands. I wanted a very natural look in terms of makeup, and I am glad I went to do the trial because we were able to figure out what I didn't want (no lashes, no liner). And I thank Tiffany for being flexible on the day of as well, as we made a decision to not do the spray air-brush, and instead start again using a very light foundation. It was perfect and I felt beautiful. And thank you to Melissa who made my hair look fantastic half up and half down, with curls! And thank you for respecting my bridesmaid's request of no hair spray. My sister loved her full updo as well, and I was impressed how well the hairdos held even the days after. And the flower girls' hair was adorable and perfect. Thank you very much - you two are AMAZING at what you do. -

Alison Sent on 12/26/2018Amazing! Simply amazing work!
Melissa is so great to work with. The day I did my hair trial with her, she did exactly what I wanted and I knew I would love how she would do my hair for the wedding. I showed her what I wanted, and she made it look even better than what I envisioned – she is so talented and has a great personality. She engaged so well with the bridal party when she did their hair, and she did a beautiful job with the girls. She’s very easy-going and will do any style you ask for. My hair lasted pretty much through-out the night – the veil was nice and snug even when the bridal party was stepping on it during pictures my hair stayed put, it was so lovely I’m so happy the way it came out – she will make sure your hair is done right and will hold up for hours. She will make you look your best and is attentive to detail so it comes out perfect – no flyways, no strands out of place, bangs perfectly put to the side, curls in tact… you name it, it was all done beautifully. I highly recommend Melissa.
Tiffany did my makeup, as well as, the bridesmaids. Just like Melissa, the day I did my makeup trial, I just knew she would be doing the make-up for the wedding. She is also so talented. My make-up did not come off at all. She is so great to work with as well. She knows her stuff and will give you suggestions, and will go with your ideas as well. It was wonderful how my make-up came out. I photographed so well, and the makeup really did compliment my hairstyle. I was so worried all my makeup would come off after I did my pictures and the reception – but it all lasted, even after dancing! I highly recommend Tiffany as well as Melissa. They are such a good team, and will make sure you and your girls look their best on the most special day of your life. I am so pleased I chose them for my special day. -

Amanda Sent on 07/24/2018Melissa is the best decision you can make for your wedding day. She and her assistant made myself and my girls look absolutely perfect. She doesn't charge as much as other people in the area do, but honestly, she should because she is just as good if not better then the competitors. She definitely knows how expensive it is to have/ be in a wedding and doesn't overcharge. She made sure that everyone looked perfect before she left and left us Bobby pins and hairspray which came in handy. She also saved my best friend's wedding when her hair girl canceled last minute. Melissa moved all of her hair appointments so that she could do the brides hair as well as do all of the bridesmaids hair. I highly recommend you use Melissa for your wedding day. I'm so in love with her work that I recently went to her to get my haircut and of course I love it!

Rachel Sent on 11/15/2017Melissa and Jasmin were amazing. I had 8 girls for hair, all had varying lengths and types of hair and were getting different hairstyles, Melissa was receptive to each girls ideas and each style exceeded our expectations. Makeup was the same! we ranged from wanting a natural look to dramatic makeup and Jasmin met the needs of each girls. They are nice and very personable and made my experience a great one!! I Highly recommend them for any wedding or formal needs!

Maria Sent on 09/12/2017Melissa was wonderful to work with. From the trial to the day of the wedding she was very accommodating. At my hair trial she recommended the steps I should take before my wedding so that my hair would look even nicer than the trial and she was spot on. She met us at the hotel we stayed at the night before and started with our hair at 5am so we would all be ready and at the venue by 10:30am. All six of us had different hair types and she was able to whip everyone's hair into shape. Everyone was thrilled with the way their hair turned out, we all looked beautiful and it stayed looking beautiful all the way until the end of the night. In addition Melissa's assistant was great and was able to do one of my bridesmaids makeup on the spot. The vibe the morning of my wedding was exactly what i was hoping for, both ladies are highly personable and the playlist they used was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better vendor :) -

Brittany Sent on 11/05/2016We absolutely loved working with Melissa for our wedding! She is incredibly talented, personable, professional, and flexible. For the trial, I had a few photos and she was able to create exactly what I was looking for like magic. At the wedding we couldn’t believe how quickly and expertly she was able to create the gorgeous styles that each of our bridal party members chose. Not a single hair was out of place for any of the ladies or long-haired gents throughout the entire evening. It was also very nice to be able to pay through PayPal so that fewer people needed to keep track of cash. We highly recommend Melissa for any occasion. -

Christie Sent on 05/02/2016Melissa made sure we were well prepared on my wedding day- she arranged for me to come in for a trial so that I would be comfortable with the style I was choosing. I also was wearing extensions for the first time, which she put in for me at my trial, and again flawlessly on my wedding day. I was also wearing a floral crown on my wedding day- she was willing to take it off and put it back on me until it was sitting just right. I received so many compliments on my hair- no one even knew I was wearing the extensions (even though my hair was 18 inches longer!!) It was done just so naturally. I wanted a very ethereal and bohemian look and showed Melissa some pictures of what I had in mind- she captured it perfectly for me. My hair stayed all night (and even into the next day!) Melissa had some spare time when she was with me so even did my sisters hair quickly - which was not part of the original plan. Melissa was well-prepared, easy to talk with, even played music for me from her phone when I couldn't get my wireless speakers to connect. She maintained a neat work environment and was extremely flexible with travelling to meet me at whatever time was best for me. Melissa even suggested meeting earlier than when I thought was an optimal time - and I am so glad she did- we were able to take our time with my hair, and I had time to relax before the ceremony. -

Samantha Sent on 10/24/2016Melissa and Jaclyn were a fantastic team! Ever since our first communication Melissa was always on the ball. When we did our trial I brought Melissa a few different photos and she was able to come up with one style that fit perfectly between the two styles that I wanted. The makeup came out perfect! Jaslyn was fantastic, as I don't know much about makeup at all she was a great help. The day of the wedding Melissa and Jaslyn were perfect, they arrived on time and help each of my girls look great! I would definitely recommend Melissa and her team for your wedding! -
Lori Sent on 12/12/2017Melissa is so good! She is kind, considerate, professional and worth every penny we spent to have our hair done for my daughter's wedding in November 2017. We had pictures of what we wanted and she nailed it! She is talented and efficient in her work....I highly recommend her! My daughter (the bride) and I received many compliments on our hair the day of the wedding - I would definitely use her again!

Daina Sent on 06/06/2018Melissa and Tiffany are a great and affordable team! Both, though more so Tiffany, quickly respond to messages and are very response.
Melissa alone deserves 5 stars because her hair styling is truly amazing. She really knows what she's doing and though she'll do nearly whatever you ask her to do with your hair, she has a great eye for what will look good for you. I primarily chose this team because of Melissa and her ability to do a fantastic job on hair.
Tiffany is fantastic at applying makeup and, when given direction, will do exactly what you tell her. She's great at making sure the makeup and all aspects of your face look even and smooth so please know everyone will look pretty. While she doesn't necessarily have the eye for makeup that Melissa has for hair, you truly won't be disappointed with Tiffany. She listens and will essentially do whatever she can to make sure you're happy with the look she gives you. I'm not a makeup connoisseur and am very indecisive so I had hoped for more guidance in figuring out what I wanted, but as I had a couple makeup trials before booking Dutchess County Hairstylist, I came to learn what styles looked good and was able to convey that to Tiffany, which ensured I was very happy with my wedding day makeup because Tiffany knows how to deliver.
On my wedding day, Tiffany arrived early and Melissa was only a couple minutes late so we were able to start mostly on time and finished on schedule. Tiffany managed to efficiently and beautifully work ahead of schedule, but Melissa's final product was definitely worth the wait.
I will say that if you don't hire them to stick around for reapplication (which I didn't, but they do offer these services for a reasonable fee), be sure to bring extra concealer or foundation. By the reception entrances, much of my foundation had rubbed off my nose and I would've looked for rudolph if I didn't reapply.
You won't be disappointed, though, if you book Melissa and Tiffany. -
