Hair and Makeup for black nj brides (and party)

Serenity, on June 12, 2018 at 11:26 PM Posted in New Jersey Planning 4 19

Almost all the vendors that I look at on wedding wire only show pictures of white clients with silky straight hair. I have no reference for whether these hair and makeup artists are able to work with afro hair or use makeup that complements darker skintones.


Anyone have suggestions on great hair and makeup artists in the northern NJ area that have experience working with afro hair and makeup.

Thanks everyone!

    Hi Serenity! I did some further searching and think you should look into the following makeup artists:

    - Faith's Glam House: There are pictures of African American brides to illustrate their experience with women of color

    - DSimone Artistry

    - 100% Cashmeir

    - Beauty-Full Ladies

    You can also look for other makeup artists for women of color on Thumbtack's List of Black Makeup Artists Near Newark, NJ. I would also recommend trying MAC, as they have a good range of artists who are great with doing exceptional work on women of color! Let me know if you need any further help! Good luck!!

    You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm having the same issue. I'm getting married in Nov. 2019 and I'm having such a difficult time finding a makeup artist and hairstylist. Who did you end up using?

    I was the going through exact same thing when I was looking for a hair and makeup artist for my wedding. It took me months to find someone! I get married in two weeks, and I found my makeup artist two months ago, her name is Daurisa Tessier. Check her out on instagram, she is cost effective, does amazing work, fantastic personality, and when you talk to her you're to feel like you've known her for years. Congratulations! And good luck! I pray everything works out for the best!

    I'm late to the thread game as I recently just got engaged and am just now really trying to plan this whole wedding thing. I stumbled upon your post as I've begun my own process of looking for a MUA and hairstylist for my own day. Thanks for leading the charge with your discussion post, it's helped me greatly in my journey. Also your make up turned out great on your wedding day!
