Lindsay Sent on 10/13/2023Anellyse was amazing!
I had Anellyse as my MUA for my wedding day and she was absolutely amazing!!! I am very indecisive and gave her a few ideas with freedom to do what she wanted and she nailed it. My trial I didn’t have to fix anything and she met the assignment for my wedding day! I couldn’t recommend her enough! My mom, MIL and sister all felt beautiful and so happy with their make up! -

Transcendent did hair for our wedding and they did a beautiful job!! My hair is very fine and long-ish (a few inches past my collarbones) and they helped come up with a style with some nice waves, hair partially up to keep it out of my face, but still enough volume to feel full. I felt awesome all day. Also, my bridesmaids and the moms looked beautiful too! The Transcendent team is so kind and easy to work with - highly recommend. -

I first met Stacie when I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding and I instantly fell in love with her work. I am very picky when it comes to make-up, but I loved the way Stacie did my make-up for that wedding. When I got engaged, I knew that I needed to have Stacie and the Transcendent team as part of my day. They did not disappoint! I had a large bridal party with 13 bridesmaids and was initially worried that we would not all be able to be ready in time on the morning of the wedding. However, the Transcendent team was able to accommodate my large bridal party without any issue and met the make-up desires of all of my bridesmaids. Stacie did my personal make-up exactly as I had envisioned and I so thankful for her expertise and talents and to have had her on my special day! -

Yen & Meghan were incredible to work with for our wedding! I booked with Transcendent because I know they do great work (did both my sister’s & MOH’s weddings). I had my hair and makeup done by Yen & Meghan at my matron of honors wedding and I knew I had to have them for my wedding! After booking a venue and solidifying a date, Transcendent was the first vendor I booked!
Yen was super responsive to all my questions and was accommodating with any adjustments I needed to make. She was even able to order me a full sized lipstick for the day of my wedding & I know I’ll continue to use it!
When I had my trial it was such a comfortable experience and the end result was perfect! Fast forward to the day of the wedding, both Yen & Meghan arrived early which helped the day run smoothly. All hair and makeup looked beautiful and was done ahead of schedule! Having a few extra minutes really helped to calm my nerves on the big day. Both Yen & Meghan are great to talk to and my entire bridal party and both mothers were so pleased with their work. There is no reason to look elsewhere for hair and makeup because Transcendent is the best in CT!! -

Ashley Sent on 09/26/2022Absolute Perfection
I truly am beyond blown away by my entire experience with the Transcendent Makeup & Hair Team! In the beginning of my wedding process I was stressed about finding the right hair and makeup team for my big day. I read every review, spoke to numerous friends and family members, and highly researched all options from all angles. And, I landed right where I was meant to be and couldn’t be happier!
Stacie was my makeup artist, and her level of professionalism was more than I could have ever asked for. She was prompt when responding to my emails, highly organized and the team’s wedding contract was clear and detailed. I did my trial back in October 2021 for a June 2022 wedding, and during my trial, Stacie took my inspiration photos and delivered my look to a whole new level. She gave me the perfect rose gold eye, with just the right amount of a wing and then applied individual eyelashes so my eyes didn’t appear heavy with a huge lash strip weighing them down. She truly catered to my individual eye shape (same with all my bridesmaid) and made me look like the best version of myself on my wedding day!
Also, during the time of my trial, I expressed to Stacie that the “Moms” (Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom) were both unsure and nervous about having their hair and makeup done. As the bride, I thought it was important to have both Moms get pampered on the morning of my wedding. This is as much their day, as it is mine! So we scheduled a trial for the Moms in March and both Stacie and my hair stylist Nicole, made them feel so comfortable and beautiful that they agreed to both servies. I was so happy that they weren’t pushy and salesman like when working with the Moms. They truly made the experience so pleasant for them and my Mom was in tears because for once, she was the one getting pampered. I was so happy that Stacie and the team made my dreams come true and both Moms looked so beautiful!
Now to my hair stylist Nicole! I expressed to Stacie that I wanted a timeless look for my hair. I wanted to look back on my hair 10, 20, 30 years from now and still be in love with it. I decided on 1920’s glamour waves! Hence, the perfect pairing with Nicole! Nicole is a true master when it comes to glamour waves! No joke, she takes master classes all around the country in order to achieve the perfect glamour wave. She is the best in the business! When we did my trial I was in love. She knew exactly what she was doing, how to set my hair, the right products for my type of hair, and she had the proper tools to achieve this look! Even from the time of my trial in October, Nicole would message me with updates on how she was going to evaluate my look even more! Or that she learned a new technique and couldn’t wait to do it on my wedding day! Nicole brings all the right kind of energy!
Overall, Transcendent made my wedding day all to easy! I had big bridal party that consisted of 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and me the bride, with a ceremony start time of 1:00pm. Talk about stressful, but they made it feel easy. They stayed right on schedule, nothing felt rushed, and I had the best morning with all the girls! Please reference the photos below for their amazing work! My hair and makeup stayed ALL DAY AND NIGHT and let me tell you, I DANCED the night away! I highly recommended this team for your big day or if you are in need of hair and makeup services! THEY ARE THE BEST and I am forever grateful for them being apart of my special day!
All my love,

Kara Sent on 08/16/2022More than just amazing hair and makeup!
Stacie and Nicole did makeup and hair for my wedding. Their work is amazing. Beautiful when it was first done and hair and makeup stood up to a full day of heat and dancing! Stacie and Nicole also have the calming presence every bride needs on their wedding day. They made me feel special from the trial to the wedding day, made sure I was eating and staying hydrated all wedding morning, and helped me stay relaxed. I can’t say enough good things about them. They are amazing all around! -

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Yen, Shirley and the whole Transcendent team was during my trial and on my wedding day! They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding – Yen was super communicative, flexible and so genuinely friendly. She was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process and that rang true for entire Transcendent team that came to prep my family/friends on the morning of the wedding.
I’ve been in a lot of weddings, believe me when I say this group of ladies is THE MOST talented group of hair stylists/makeup artists I’ve worked with. They easily accommodated my large bridal party and kept everything really seamless the day of the wedding, even finishing the group early with plenty of time to prep for pictures. I felt so relaxed that morning knowing the glam was in great hands! The Transcendent team worked with each woman to make sure that their hair/makeup was exactly what they wanted – seriously everyone is still talking about how much they loved their hair/makeup and the Transcendent ladies! I loved looking around the room and seeing all of them smiling and admiring themselves.
My bridal hair and makeup blew me away!! I felt so beautiful as every bride should! Yen and Shirley worked with me to give me the exact look I was dreaming of for my wedding day. All day (and night!) I was getting compliments on my makeup and hair, and it kept so well throughout the wedding and reception.
The Transcendent team gives you the experience every bride is hoping for! I will most definitely be reaching out to Transcendent for my future special occasions. -

Cristina Sent on 01/07/2022Dream Team!
I was looking for a team to travel to me. What was appealing to me was that they had hair AND make up team with one correspondent. I worked with Yen and Shirley and they were an absolute DREAM! I coordinated with Yen on several accounts for my engagement hair and make up, my bridal shower hair and make up, and my wedding. Yen emailed me back in a timely and professional matter every time! Yen and Shirley not only did beautifully amazing work, but were so patient and caring to myself, my bridesmaids, flower girls, and my mom on the day of! There were many different personalities and styles, and Yen and Shirley were so go with the flow! I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know and will be back for more events! -

Yen and her team were amazing to work with every step of the way! As someone who doesn’t know how to do my own hair or makeup, I admire their work, and I loved how special they made me and my bridesmaids feel on my wedding day. They can accommodate all skin types and textures, as well as all types of hair. I have extremely thin, brittle hair that makes it challenging to work with for a special event. But Kelly and yen made me feel great and gave me no reason to be self-conscious that day. If you’re looking to kick off your wedding day with a group of fun and hardworking stylists, look no further! Highly recommend! -

It was such a pleasure to work with Yen & Stacie for my bride’s wedding day. As a planner, it’s such a relief and genuine bonus to know that your client/bride is in good hands from the very beginning of her day.
Yen is a joy to work with - talented, efficient, and kind. She and her team made all the ladies, especially the bride, feel BEAUTIFUL and excited to be dolled up and ready to celebrate.
I can’t wait to work with Transcendent Makeup again as I recommend them with flying colors!

Yen, Shirley, Danyell, and Meghan were the glam squad of our dreams!
Yen was so quick to respond to any questions I had leading up to my wedding and also was amazing for a trial. My makeup and hair (plus my 7 bridesmaids and mom and MIL) stayed flawless all day (12+) hours. Everyone was so happy with how their looks came out and couldn’t rave more about the quality of work from these amazing artists. I cannot recommend Transcendent enough! -

Deanna Sent on 05/19/2021Yen's Makeup Services Were Amazing
Yen was my bridal makeup artist with the Transcendent Makeup and Hair Company. Yen was amazing! She was so flexible throughout all the changes that came upon our wedding because of covid. She listened to my makeup concerns, desires and ideas and put them all together into a beautiful job that made me feel special and my husband swoon! Not only all of that but she's very kind and was able to make me feel at ease when my wedding plans were all up in the air! I would 100% recommend using Yen and this company for your makeup and hair needs!

Chelsea Sent on 10/12/2020Beautiful Make Up
I had hired Transcendent to do my bridal party's make up on October 10. I worked closely with Stacie leading up to the wedding. I was so impressed with my trial make up that I had no doubts that my entire bridal party's make up would be perfect. On the day of the wedding, Stacie and Adrienne absolutely killed everyone's make up. We received so many compliments throughout the night. The make up stayed completely intact the entire day. Thank you so much Transcendent for doing the most beautiful job.Transcendent Makeup's reply:
Aww, thank you so much Chelsea! It was an honor to work with you ladies!! Congratulations and many blessings to you and your husband!! ❤️ -

Sameera Sent on 12/05/2019Amazing and professional!
Stacie and Shirley were amazing and so professional! I spoke with a few different makeup and hair artists and I loved transcendent makeup the best for a few reasons – 1. They were Uber responsive and CALLED me a few hours after I put in a request. We had a quick phone call which was really nice and felt very genuine and warm. 2) They work with diverse clients and felt comfortable working with different skin tones and textures which I think is SUPER important, and 3) They are two best friends (Stacie and Yen) who started their own business and we couldn’t be happier to support a strong women-owned business. The process was very smooth and easy. Both Stacie (make up) and Shirley (hair) really listened to what I wanted and adjusted everything as needed. They also did full hair and makeup for my family and wedding party. They arrived early, were EXTREMELY efficient, very relaxing to talk to, and set a fun tone to the getting ready vibe. Stacie also did my engagement shoot hair and makeup and it was SO pretty! Would definitely hire them again for any type of professional makeup!! -

Ashlee Sent on 09/26/2019Stunning Hair and Makeup
I think I differ a bit from the way hair and makeup trends are going. Many vendors I looked at before seem to be specializing in that very "natural" look. As beautiful as that is.. I wanted to look very glam and made up on my wedding day.
After doing some research online and on Instagram, I came across Transcendent and one other vendor that had the glam style I was looking for. The other vendor was almost double the price, plus I was very impressed with Yen's professionalism and speed of response. I booked them and had Yen for my makeup and Adrianna for my hair.
We had a blast at the initial trial, plus I got to know both artists very well during it. I loved the way my initial trial came out, and had no concerns about the day of the wedding.
I decided to treat my wedding party, mom, and MIL to their hair and makeup as well. (Which is a great decision, as everyone looked amazing, and kept ranting and raving about their looks.) When it comes to vendors, I truly believe that you should just them an idea of what you are looking for, but trust their vision and give them the freedom to bring your vision to life.
Thank you both! I looked and felt like a princess. Love you both!! -

Emily Sent on 09/13/2019Highly recommend for wedding hair and makeup!
I highly recommend using Transcendent Makeup for your wedding day hair and makeup. I considered several hair/makeup options – I could not be happier with my decision to work with Stacie and her team. They were a joy to work with (and as an added bonus they are more reasonably priced than others). Stacie was helpful, organized and quick to respond. I was amazed how quickly and efficiently the team setup their tools on the morning of the wedding. I was even more amazed at the hairstylists’ ability to create beautiful hairstyles on my 4-year-old flower girls while they wiggled all over. The team listened to ideas of what we may want and gave suggestions on what will work best for our look. It was especially nice to work with such lovely ladies first thing in the morning who made us feel comfortable and confident. The bridal party all looked amazing and I felt beautiful with my bridal hair and makeup. -

Julia Sent on 07/30/2019Book Transcendent!!!
Transcendent did my hair & makeup for my wedding day and I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out!! We did a trial session, and Jackie and Kristen were extremely responsive and worked hard to make it exactly what I wanted, and as a result on the day of my look turned out PERFECT! I had a large bridal party (10 people total) that they were doing hair/makeup for, and they were incredibly professional, organized, and friendly & kind to all of us. They showed up on site early and we ended up finishing ahead of schedule, which was huge for my wedding-day anxiety. All my girls were very pleased with how their looks turned out, and we got once in a lifetime photos out of it! Would definitely recommend their services!! -

My bridal party and I could not have been happier with our results. They were timely and flexible and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect and everyone was happy. I will definitely use them again in the future. Absolutely can't say enough about the skills and great personalities of these girls. 😊 -

Mari Sent on 01/02/2019Great experience!
I recently worked with Yen and Adrianna for my wedding in October 2018. I cannot say enough good things about these two! From our initial consult/trial, I knew they would be great to work with. They are responsive, professional, and so good at what they do! They made getting ready on wedding day a breeze. They worked their magic on hair and makeup for myself, my 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and my flower girl on wedding day - all on a slightly compressed schedule that we had to revise a few days before to accommodate for a last minute change-of-heart to do first-look pictures. All of my girls loved their hair and makeup, and loved Yen and Adrianna! They are so chill and easy to work with. They listened to feedback and direction and gave everyone exactly the look they wanted. I would definitely recommend working with Transcendent! -

Aimée Sent on 11/16/2017I had the best experience working with Yen and Adrianna from Transcendent. Yen was so responsive, cooperative and an absolute joy to work with. Her professionalism and talent made my wedding day even more spectacular. She made me feel beautiful both inside and out. I told her what I was thinking of for my wedding day makeup and she delivered 100%. I don't wear a ton of makeup normally, so I wanted to feel natural and like myself - just turned up a bit. She took my vision and ran with it and I could not be happier with how I looked. The same goes for Adrianna, who did my hair. She heard me and came up with a hairstyle that was exactly what I dreamed of. I confidently and happily recommend working with these ladies!! -

Julia Sent on 06/12/2017I cannot say enough good things about Stacie and Meghan! I had a plan of hiring my moms hair dresser do to my and my bridal partys' makeup and hair. We did a trial run and the hairdresser didn't listen to a single thing I wanted, I left the experience unhappy and frustrated. I was 2 months away from my wedding and was upset that if I didn't lower my standards that I may not find anyone who would give me exactly what I wanted.
I contacted Stacie, hoping for some luck. Not only was I booking pretty short notice for a pretty decent bridal party (8 people), but my wedding day was Mother's day which can make it a pretty tall order. Stacie was very good at communicating in a timely fashion and being very clear about what she offered, prices, and most of all that she would listen to me.
Stacie booked a trial run with me. The trial was fabulous, I felt beautiful. I am a little to no makeup type of girl but the airbrush really helps it feel light and doesn't give you that orange or mask looking appearance that a lot of concealer can give you. Meghan also did an amazing work. I had been trying to find someone who could do a waterfall braid. Every time I did a trial with someone else or my own aunt we couldn't get it the way I wanted it. Then here comes Meghan to the rescue. First try, she gets EXACTLY what I wanted. It looked gorgeous.
The wedding day was perfect. Stacie and Meghan did a fabulous job at giving me and my bridesmaids what we wanted. They finished all of us in plenty of time so I didn't even need to remotely worry about our timeline. It may not be important to every bride but I also just want to note that both Stacie and Meghan are very present when it comes to doing their work and taking in what you want. One of my bridesmaids was so impressed with their work that she decided to hire them for her own wedding this coming November. I cannot wait to work with you talented ladies again. Thank you so much for everything. You did a fantastic job.Transcendent Makeup's reply:
Julia!! Thank you so very much for these kind kind words! You and your gals were so wonderful to work with! I can't wait to see pictures!! -

User1746150 Sent on 08/03/2014I was extremely impressed with Kim's makeup on my wedding day. We met several times for trials to make sure I was absolutely in love with my look and Kim was extremely professional and was such a sweet heart through the whole process. I have recommended her to ALL of my engaged friends and she has gone on to do the makeup of every single one of them for their weddings. You should totally go with Transcendent makeup for your special occasion, you will NOT be disappointed!
