I visited Brush to fix a bad haircut experience from a Wethersfield studio. I have a severe…read moreinverted bob haircut and the previous stylist didn't know how to properly do this type of hair style. There were jagged pieces... it was heavy... a disaster. Ashley was very professional and knowledgeable about my thick hair type and funky style. She took a fraction of the time the previous girl took to cut my hair. She then put some serum in it and blow dried it (which is no small feat with the amount of hair I have). It was so shiny! After blow drying and flat ironing my hair, she went back in to check her work, and we decided to bring up the back even a little higher (I like it VERY angled). My hair feels sleek, looks shiny, and has so much more movement than before. Just be clear about what you want, and if you do want something special, communicate that ahead of time so she can make sure to block off more time for you. Overall, great experience. I would go back.

I had the WORST experience with Samar. I booked an appointment with her to do my makep for my…read moreengagement party and we confirmed the date, time and price. Here I thought I'm all set for my big day and cross one thing of my "To Do List". But weeks later, she canceled on me because she has a wedding inquiry. Now I'm back to square one trying to find a makeup artist. I'm upset that she's UNPROFESSIONAL and didn't handle the situation well. She could of call me instead of text me and she could of try to move me to an earlier time to show that she's trying to make this work (beside it's only take her 30 mins to do my makeup according to her statement). I advice you to go with someone else that is reliable and professional.

I, along with all my bridesmaids and loved ones, cannot recommend Upstyle and its team more. Before…read moremy day with Upstyle's team, I had never walked away from a hair and makeup appointment feeling beautiful or even satisfied with how I look. But that all changed when I did my extensive research and asked Upstyle to be a part of my wedding day. I teared up immediately when I saw how I looked on my special day--all thanks to the Upstyle team. I had never felt more beautiful (while still feeling like myself) after getting my hair and makeup done. It is not uncommon for Asian brides to have doubts about how they will look after makeup, but I want everyone to know that Jessica's talent knows no bounds. She understood my vision and made me look exactly how I wanted to look and (somehow using her magic) more. There really aren't enough words to describe the immense joy (and relief) I felt after being in Jessica's chair. I also got beyond lucky to have worked with Jessie. I had asked for changes to my updo after my trial, and she worked with me throughout the entire morning of my wedding to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Just like Jessica, she understood my vision right away. She made me feel so incredibly comfortable, really listened to what I was looking for, and was invested (as if she were me) in how happy I was on my wedding day. There is no question that they are the best in the game. What is also worth noting is how fun and warm they are to everyone in the room. Even though it was my second time meeting them (first time was during my trial), it was as if I asked two of my super close friends to help me do my hair and makeup. Jessica and Jessie used their charm and wit to even communicate with my non-English speaking mother to give her exactly what she wants. That's how fantastic they are as people and as artists. People say they feel the wedding blues after everything is over; I do too, of course, but what contributes to those blues is how much I miss them. I made some excellent decisions for my wedding day, and asking Upstyle to work with me was on the top of my list.

I am a Massachusetts resident and scheduled with this salon for my wedding before Covid. Due to…read morethe pandemic, I had to cancel my wedding entirely. We notified the salon 5 months in advance. Keep in mind, I never met personally with anyone in this salon, I never did a phone consultation, and I never got to do a trial. We have been working with Connecticut's Attorney General since November 2020 (it is now end of March 2021) to try to get a refund/work out a payment plan to get our money back. I understand businesses were affected by the pandemic, however, this salon provided ZERO services and has no moral issue withholding our money. Let me repeat, ZERO services were offered by the salon. The Attorney General said we are not the first to complain about this salon-BEWARE.

Her Playlists are upbeat and positive and I leave each class feeling empowered and amazing.

I go as often as I can! Yoga and kickboxing are also offered here, so there really is something for everyone! For Beauty, Marisa has done my makeup for a photoshoot and for my wedding and both times, I was blown away! She made me feel so beautiful, so confident, and show stopping! I loved her makeup application so much, that I took an everyday makeup lesson with a friend to learn how I can enhance my natural beauty any day! I look forward to my next visit. She really hyped me up as any best friend would and I really think this added to the fun on my wedding morning. Marisa just gets it! She's created a safe space for women to be the best versions of themselves without feeling out of place. The community is incredibly supportive and welcoming when you first walk in the doors. The vibe is fun, its silly, its exciting, and powerful. I instantly felt like I found my tribe and I am forever grateful!

Leading up to the wedding my mom and I had gone to multiple different makeup trials with various vendors and each time left feeling so discouraged with heavy creased makeup on our faces.

On my wedding day it was no different, even grandmas makeup came out perfect! She is extremely talented but also the kindest human. She fit right in with the family and had just the right positive vibes you hope for on the morning of you wedding! Fabulous!!!
