From the moment I contacted Ligia she was very helpful and responsive. I went in for a trial and due to the fact that she wasn't totally happy with the results of my first trial she invited me back for a second trial to ensure I looked flawless on my big day! Ligia takes her job very seriously and is meticulous about every detail. Prior to the wedding Ligia provided me with some helpful hints on what would help me prepare my face to look its best. She did the make up for myself and 4 other women all of varying ages and skin tones and she made all of us look gorgeous and the best part was it felt amazing. I am not one that wears a lot of makeup regularly and neither are the other but the airbrush make up is awesome, it felt great and stayed put all day & night! I also opted for the false lashes and I LOVED how they looked! On top of her skills Ligia is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, from the trial to my wedding day it was so easy communicating with her and she is just so easy to be around, she just fit right in on the day of the wedding and did a phenomenal job at getting me and my ladies photo ready!

Ligia was absolutely amazing for my recent wedding. I know nothing about makeup and she made me…read morelook flawless, along with my gorgeous bridesmaids! I had never had airbrush makeup and I was so glad I went with it. She was great at figuring out what colors would look good on me to just make me look natural, while making my sister, maid of honor, look super hot with a really awesome smokey eye. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who does great makeup, and is fun to hang out with all day. It's important to like the people you hire because you'll be spending a few hours with them the day before and she was great!

Each one of the ladies still looked like themselves, there was nothing overdone or underdone about any of it, everyone just looked flawless. I had a trial with her earlier to figure out my own hair and makeup for the bid day, and the day of she was able to capture exactly the look I was hoping for. We did have one little mishap at the house where we were all getting ready, and Natalie was incredibly responsible and professional to help resolve it. I highly recommend working with Natalie.

I set up a trial with Natalie for my upcoming wedding in May. Because I have a larger bridal party,…read moreshe recommended a makeup artist, Makeup by Ashley Christine, to do the makeup while Natalie did the hair. The trial was fantastic. For a very small and reasonable fee, we had the trial at my apartment in the city. It was so easy, and Natalie was professional AND personable. She made my sister and I very comfortable talking about what we liked and what we didn't like. Overall it was an incredible experience, our hair and makeup looked fantastic, and we booked Natalie for the big day! I feel confident I will be updating my review after the wedding even more satisfied with my experience and of course her work :)

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about June! From our very first conversation, it was…read moreclear that she's a true artist who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life. She worked with me every step of the way to ensure I looked exactly how I dreamed on my wedding day. What really blew me away was how long my hair and makeup stayed absolutely perfect - not a single touch-up needed throughout the entire day! A true testament to her skill and the quality of her work. The trial session was also such a positive experience. It felt relaxed and fun, and June was so open to feedback as we worked towards perfecting the look I wanted. Her flexibility and collaborative approach made the whole process so much less stressful. Also, as an Asian bride, finding a stylist who understands the nuances of Asian makeup and how it complements fair skin was really important to me, and June absolutely nailed it. She has a fantastic understanding of different styles and how to enhance Asian features beautifully. I felt so confident and truly myself on my wedding day thanks to her expertise. For any bride looking for a truly talented, dedicated, and flexible hair and makeup artist who listens and delivers incredible results, I wholeheartedly recommend Love Notes by June. You won't be disappointed!

I had a trial with Amanda (my only tiny gripe is that the studio for the trial is a bit of a drive outside of Boston proper); after that, I gave Amanda and June some feedback about some small changes, and they incorporated it really well--I was so happy with the final look for my wedding day.

She is friendly, helpful and made me feel so at ease. For my wedding day, she did my makeup and 6 bridesmaids. Everyone commented how gorgeous and natural everyone looked.

I highly recommend Paula and look forward to working with her again soon!

Let me preface this by saying I've been doing my own makeup and others' for years and years. So, my…read morestandards are pretty high. Maybe impossibly high. I have never liked the way anyone else has done my makeup, but I decided to take a chance with the Buy With Me voucher. My friend and I went to try it out. I was looking for something different. And after, I definitely looked different. The eye makeup was way too much for my face, and made my eyes look tiny. The dark extended from my crease to my eyebrow and even in my inner eye. Almost like a super intense smokey eye. I am warm colored, but the eye and face makeup used was cool. I looked sickly, and from far away like I had been punched in both eyes. Even my friend, who is usually positive and looking for the best, thought I looked awful. She was underwhelmed with her results too, and she'd gone to learn makeup application tips. The owner was gracious enough to redo my makeup. Both women were so sweet to myself and my friend. I tried to find things to purchase after, but I have more color assortment in my own personal makeup drawer than I found in the store. I'm sure this is a wonderful place for weddings... I feel bad writing this review because of how lovely they treated us, but I just felt underwhelmed and ugly looking at myself when it was over, which is the last thing you want after you've gotten your makeup done. My friend and I both went home and washed our faces. My only tip is to just be very specific with what you want. I said do whatever. And I got whatever.

My hair was gorgeous and a perfect match for my dress - braided into a low crown with baby's breath woven into it. Each of my girls had very different hair - short, long, curly, straight, thin, thick, you name it - and they were all extremely pleased with how their styles turned out. She was fast and fun to have around, and she even helped us with some tips on putting together the bouquets. Highly recommended!!

I went on line, believe it or not, and "She is Sophie James" popped up on the top of every list. I booked an appointment at the Broadway location in Boston with Isabelle.

Isabelle listened to exactly what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and delivered -- my color is gorgeous and I've been getting nonstop compliments.

Like, seriously desperate to have this ish fixed by a real professional. How desperate you might ask? I was eyeing tickets and considering couch surfing with friends in NY so that I could go back to my beloved Stacy at Styles on B. Alas, that didn't seem like the best fix. So, I took a deep breath, opened my Best of Boston edition of Boston Magazine, and called the best. Yes. His name is Chuck Bass which got a chuckle in my office when I made the appointment a few weeks ago. Yes, he only works until 3pm. Yes, Boston Magazine got it right. Chuck Bass is to managing unruly hair what the more well known Chuck Bass is to managing Upper East Side socialites. He was precise and got straight down to business turning my abused locks into a beautiful mane. What he couldn't fix right now he was honest about and we sent another appointment in three months to try and get my hair to all the way there. I appreciated his honest push back and also appreciate the fact that I left the salon feeling like my old, fierce self. Was it expensive? Yes. But the Best of Boston can command the price and, more to the point, he's worth it.
