There are people in this world who are simply gifted -- not just in what they do, but in how they make you feel while they're doing it. JoAnn Solomon is one of those people. I came to her for hair and makeup ahead of my marketing photoshoot, and what I walked away with was so much more than a great look. She made me feel genuinely beautiful -- and that is something I will not forget. From our very first conversation -- whether by phone or email -- JoAnn was attentive, kind, and completely professional. She made me feel like my vision mattered before we even sat down together. And when the day arrived, she brought that same energy into every moment of our session. She didn't just prep my skin and get to work. She talked with me. She explained what she was doing and why. She made it clear that her clients' feeling connected to the process is something she genuinely cares about -- and you feel that care in everything she does. JoAnn truly listened to what I wanted and understood it completely. Her talent is extraordinary -- she has a deep understanding of skin types, shades, and hair that very few artists possess. She guided me on the right products to achieve my hairstyle and worked with such detail and creativity that every choice felt intentional. And when I saw myself in the mirror, I was moved. She made me look glamorous and radiant without changing a single thing about my face. She simply brought out the best of who I already am. I stepped into that photoshoot feeling confident, seen, and beautiful -- truly beautiful -- and that feeling carried me through every single frame. JoAnn's prices are fair and well within industry standard, and I promise you, what you invest comes back to you tenfold in how she makes you look and feel. If you are searching for someone who will treat you with professionalism, warmth, and real artistry, please do not hesitate. Book JoAnn Solomon.

She is the best!!!!! I am a 70+ year old. Look it too. Until JoAnn took 20 years off my age. It was a miracle and once in a lifetime experience. She's fun, informative and the best in her business!! Thanks JoAnn for helping me make a night to remember. read more

Where do I even begin... JoAnn is a true artist. Not only is she a kind, and beautiful human being, but she is a master of her craft. I NEVER get my makeup or hair done for events because I'm afraid of the makeup feeling and looking caked on (which I hate) and no one ever does my hair right. So I wasn't sure if I was going to hire someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. But I did A LOT of research and kept coming back to JoAnn's website. The photos of the brides and other women she had done just drew me in. One thing stood out the most-- all the makeup looks NATURAL! And that's what I wanted. After contacting her and having such an easy and flawless reservation process, I knew I was in good hands for my big day. Her assistant, Crystal, was so nice, professional, and responsive. And when I met JoAnn for my trial (don't skimp by not doing a trial btw-- it's so important!), I was SO HAPPY. JoAnn was patient and attentive. She really wanted me and my mom to look and feel the way WE wanted. She encouraged constructive critique of my hair and makeup so we could make sure it all looked perfect-- it was collaborative and I LOVED that. She made the most important day of my life perfect. I am forever grateful for that. And she helped me feel beautiful. Bottom line is-- YOU NEED JOANN IN YOUR LIFE. If you're doing your research right now, look no further! read more

JoAnn Solomon Beauty - Hair and makeup by JoAnn. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Hoboken , New Jersey

JoAnn is an absolute gem, not solely for her skills in her profession as a makeup artist, but also as a spirit in itself. She was very accommodating and flexible leading up to the wedding date, and I am still in awe of the look that came together and the journey it was to get there. It felt fated. I reached out to JoAnn initially in search of a hair stylist for my wedding day, for I thought that I had already settled on a makeup artist. My best friend thankfully was able to join for the hair trial with JoAnn (post makeup trial elsewhere; trials scheduled same day). While sitting under the dryer, my best friend and I chatted, ultimately recognizing that we thought I could do slightly more "wow" makeup for a wedding day. We agreed that the makeup done elsewhere was good, but a bit too everyday of a look. It became a no brainer to tie in a makeup trial with JoAnn. When she returned to check on me under the dryer, I expressed my thoughts on the makeup. She was able to candidly opine and give a sample taste of a pivoted vision right then and there about enhancing a look for more pop yet still remaining natural. I knew I was in good hands and based upon our general conversation during the hair trial, I trusted what would be the outcome. We set up a separate full on makeup trial with a fresh face to get the full vision and all I will say is that, it is one thing to know in the room together (you with the stylist), and another when the votes randomly come in off the street. I had further conviction that JoAnn was the one for the wedding day! Her patience with me, and her consultancy, were greatly appreciated during the process, and I look forward to having another chance to work with JoAnn again for other occasions! read more

I had a wonderful experience working with JoAnn for my recent photo shoot. Not only was she extremely professional, she arrived early and was done with my makeup in time for my photographer to start right away without any touch ups needed. I highly recommend JoAnn and her team if you want excellent service minus the stress. read more

Joann did my makeup for 3 of my wedding events, and did a beautiful job for each of the events. Each look was unique, but still made me feel like myself. Her assistant, Del, is super responsive and organized. I highly recommend Joann and her company! read more

I had only 6 months to plan my wedding and somehow JoAnn was still available for our super popular October wedding date. We had a trial back in May 2017 and I knew from the moment she walked into my apartment, I was going to book her. She wasn't the typical wedding makeup/hair stylist who wanted to charge a ton for not-so-wonderful results. JoAnn was knowledgeable, impressive, and used only top of the line products. I am the pickiest person when it comes to my makeup, and she was more than patient with me when I wanted things changed during the trial. In the end I was so beyond happy with how I looked, I ended my search and booked JoAnn immediately. Leading up to the wedding day, JoAnn was there for me whenever I needed to bother her with questions or concerns. On the big day, she was right on time, and we had an absolute blast getting ready. It was just my sister and my best friend (not a huge wedding party), and they absolutely loved how she transformed them for the wedding day. I myself felt flawless and got a million compliments. My hair and makeup literally did not budge the whole 16 hour day, through all the pictures and dancing. Besides her amazing talent, words cannot describe how kind, sweet, and generous JoAnn is. She truly cares about all her clients and her passion for her work shines through. THANK YOU JoAnn!! You were the greatest addition to my wedding day and I am so happy we got to work together!! read more

When it came time for my partner and I to book our makeup and hairstylist for our wedding, it was important to us to choose someone who was versatile and comfortable enough to work with women of different ethnicities and hair types. We also wanted someone who would enhance our natural beauty without completely changing the way we look. JoAnn did just that. She took our vision and created a look for us that was flawless!  It was a great feeling to sit back on our wedding day and have complete confidence in our decision to choose JoAnn. Her assistant also slayed our mothers and entourage and they all loved their makeup. JoAnn was also very accommodating as we originally booked our wedding before the pandemic and needed to reschedule. She was very understanding, professional, and made the process simple. read more

JoAnn and her team provided hair and makeup services for my wedding party. I highly recommend this talented team. The makeup artist produced beautiful results for the bridal party and the hairstylist achieved each bridesmaid's desired style with ease. Both the makeup artist and hairstylist took their time with each individual. JoAnn did my bridal hair and airbrush makeup; I am extremely satisfied with the result - there is nothing I would change! JoAnn produced a classic, elegant style that did not appear overdone. I looked beautiful. She and her team are well worth the expense. read more

I don't even know where to begin. After two years of staying home, my girlfriends and I wanted to go "all out" with our hair and make-up for our good friends black tie wedding. JoAnn and her team had done the hair and make-up for my sister-in-law's wedding in 2019 and I was in awe of her work then and had to reach out again to see if she was available. Lucky for us, she was! JoAnn and her team were incredible - her work made us feel beautiful and elegant, yet fierce, confident and strong. We received compliments all day and night and are truly so thankful for her and her professionalism and skills. You can not go wrong booking JoAnn and trust me, you will not be disappointed! read more

JoAnn and her team were fantastic. My wedding party was a very diverse group of girls , but they were able to make everyone look their best. My make up and hair was flawless and very natural looking. I felt like an Indian queen. And the look stayed through the evening despite being in the sun, dancing, and crying. I really enjoyed my time with JoAnn both on the wedding day and during my makeup trial at her studio. She is funny and personable. It really helped keeping my nerves in check the morning of the wedding. She is also extremely meticulous down to every strand of hair so I was super confident through our special day. read more

JoAnn was the very best. After planning our elopement in two weeks I needed someone to do my hair and makeup. I found JoAnn through The Knot and yelp, and immediately contacted her. She was very nice and professional. We did a trial run and got to know each other through the process. JoAnn has a great energy and ease about her. I felt beyond comfortable with her and trusted her to make me look my very best for a very important day. The day of the wedding was even better. She was punctual and excited for the day. Her photos don't do her justice of her work bc it's 1,000 times better in person. I would highly recommend her and higher her again in a heartbeat. The woman knows here stuff and I'm forever grateful for her help on one of the biggest days of my life. read more

This is a long overdue review for such an amazing woman! I booked Joann last year for what was supposed to be my May wedding, after going to another company that didn't listen to anything i asked for. Her trial was good enough for my actual day! Two date changes and a venue change, not to mention a pandemic, and Joann was still able to make me feel beautiful (while being very safe)! Also, her vision for blank canvases is remarkable! She also did my bridal party, one of whom had NO idea what she wanted. Joann ran with it and made her look amazingly beautiful and gave her great confidence. Not to mention, Joann is also amazingly funny and entertaining. A true artist and a cool person to be around read more

JoAnn was my hair and makeup stylist for my wedding this past October. JoAnn and her team were wonderful. They were punctual, efficient, and professional. JoAnn has a calming, reassuring demeanor, and I instantly felt that I was in good hands with her. I chose JoAnn because it was important to me to have a stylist who works with a diversity of clients and knows how to do hair and makeup for women of color. My bridesmaids and I have wide range of hair textures and skin tones, and JoAnn did an incredible job styling everyone's hair and making sure everyone's makeup was suitable for them. Overall, I was very happy with how my hair and makeup turned out and just as importantly, my mom and all of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks. My mom, who normally hates photos of herself, could not stop taking selfies. We all looked and felt beautiful, and I am grateful to JoAnn and her team for making that happen. read more

JoAnn and her entire team (Lori, Calette and Ashley) were truly amazing! I hired JoAnn Solomon Beauty for hair and makeup for myself, my bridal party, my mother, my mother in law and my sister in law. Their work was absolutely flawless and the energy they all brought made the morning of my wedding feel so special and fun. I also think it's really important to note that I (biracial woman) had a very diverse bridal party and family, with all different complexions, hair lengths and hair textures. JoAnn and her team made each and every woman look absolutely stunning! I could not get over how amazing they each looked and how their natural beauty was accentuated through their hair and makeup by the artistry of JoAnn and her team. My wedding day was also unseasonably warm in NYC and despite me sweating for much of the day in my wedding dress, my hair and makeup held up really well and looks fantastic in pictures. If I could give JoAnn Solomon Beauty 10 stars I would. I'm so glad I hired JoAnn for my wedding! read more

If you are hesitating, don't, book JoAnn now! I luckily stumbled across JoAnn and I couldn't have been any more pleased with the outcome of her services.

JoAnn and her team helped make my wedding so special! It was really important that I selected someone who had experience working with people of different skin tones and hair types, but JoAnn and her team really took it to another level. Not only were they accommodating to everyone's needs, but every hair and makeup look was catered to each bridesmaid's unique style. It felt like "us." My entire bridal party and I LOVED JoAnn and her team - the conversation, the jokes, the music, the energy. It all helped calm the nerves before the big day. A wonderful team of professional and I would work them again in a heartbeat! read more

JoAnn is INCREDIBLE. We had already hired her for our engagement photos and for a wedding trial, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Even so, I was blown away by the way she styled my hair and did my makeup for the wedding. She made me feel like a star on our wedding day, and took her time to make each bridesmaid and my mother look and feel glamorous too. She brought a calm energy and worked quickly without rushing. She was on time (early even), despite having to travel a decent distance to get to our location, and never once got flustered with special requests for changes or anything. My entire look came together just like i had imagined, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JoAnn to others or to hire her for future special occasions. read more

Joann did a fabulous job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I was really nervous about my makeup looking way too heavy and not "me" on my wedding day. Joann absolutely understood what I meant when I said I wanted my makeup to look natural. I looked like the best version of me on my big day! She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, and everyone was super happy with how it turned out. My friends aren't huge makeup gals either, and everyone looked natural and gorgeous. read more

JoAnn is absolutely amazing! I asked her to do my bridal Hair specifically because she is capable of handling multicultural hair. All of the women in my party are women of color with a wide variety of textures and lengths. I had complete faith that JoAnn could handle them all and she absolutely did! My hair is curly (3b/3c) and I wanted a romantic do for my wedding day. My mother has very straight and thin hair that never holds a curl. My mother in law also has very curly hair and JoAnn slayed 3 BEAUTIFUL do's for my wedding day. She is professional, relatable, very calming (thank you) and focused when she is working. She was is skilled and very quick about knowing exactly what to do for different styles/textures but most importantly she listened to our needs. My friends and family absolutely loved the way they looked and so did I. THANK YOU JOANN! Many blessings! read more

JoAnn made me feel BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day! She brought her team of superstar hair/make up gurus to beautify my 7 bridesmaids, mother of the groom, mother of the bride, as well. They were professional, fun to be around, and did great work. All my girls were so happy with their looks and one of them recently hired JoAnn for her own wedding. As a bride, I was very particular about how I wanted to look, and JoAnn listened to me from the start. She took my vision and made it even better. My hair and make up lasted all day and night and I've never felt more confident. LOVE YOU GIRL read more

I booked JoAnn to do makeup and hair for me and my mom on my wedding day. I was extremely happy with Joann's work and her work ethics. Both on the day of trial and the wedding she arrived few minutes before time and got to work right away. Since I am someone with minimal knowledge or experience with makeup I was quite apprehensive about who I hire for my big day. Joann was really good with understanding my vision and translating it into the look I wanted. She knew exactly how to work with my mom's thin hair and completely transformed her look. She also accommodated my mother in law at the last minute since we had enough time left before the ceremony. She is very nice to talk to and loves what she does. Her rates also are very affordable by new york standards. Thanks Joann for your hard work, positive energy and for making us look good. read more

I hired JoAnn for my wedding for myself an my mom. She was absolutely amazing. She had me looking better than what I imagined. She was friendly and very professional and made me feel at ease. My mom hadn't felt so good and beautiful in a long time and I thank JoAnn for that. I would recommend her 100x over to anyone, whether it was for a wedding or anything special. The make up was so natural looking and lasted all day. Wish I could take her everywhere with me and do my make up. Joann you are awesome!!!!!!!!!! read more

JoAnn was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to any bride! She is incredibly talented and goes above and beyond to make you look and feel beautiful. My bridal party, my mom and my mother in law could not stop raving about JoAnn and her team. They made all of us (in a large range of ages, skin types and hair types) look amazing and the make-up and hair held the entire day; plus they had us laughing the entire time! I really appreciated how quickly JoAnn responded to all of my questions and how detail-oriented she was. read more

JoAnn is amazing! I was lucky that she was available in such short notice! I didn't have time for a trial but somehow she managed to replicate exactly what I wanted based on images I shared. She is very intuitive as well as patient, and listens to all your inputs. She is also very detailed oriented and makes sure you look perfect for your special day. Both my hair and make up came out beautifully and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. I would definitely hire her again. read more

I did my wedding hair and makeup trial with JoAnn quite a few months before my wedding but I knew when I left her studio that she was the one for me! Even though we went over time, she took the time to perfect the look the way I wanted, gave me tips to make sure my hair care and skin care regimens leading up to the day would put me in the position for the best results, and was overall just a genuinely kind, dynamic, and caring spirit to be around. She arrived to the venue early on my wedding day and easily made conversation with my mom, sister and mother-in-law, in addition to making everyone feel uniquely beautiful and special; even listening to specific concerns and adjusting looks accordingly. If you want a stress free, natural, best version of YOU beauty experience on your wedding day, please reach to JoAnn! read more

I hired Joann and her team for my wedding this past weekend and they did not disappoint! I'm a very picky bride and had previously done two other makeup/hair trials before going to Joann as I just couldn't figure out what to do with my hair specifically. I could immediately tell that Joann was extremely skilled in makeup and hair. She had a vision for what would look good, but was also open to working with my suggestions. She took her time to come up with the perfect hairstyle as I was very indecisive and the end product on my wedding day was better than I ever could have imagined. Besides her expertise in hair and makeup, Joann is a beautiful person both inside and out. She was always so upbeat, optimistic and warm. She has a wonderful presence and really makes you feel at ease. She also has an excellent team that came to my bridal suite prepared and ready (James and Tannis). They worked on me, my 6 bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law and finished everyone in time for photos. Everyone looked amazing! One of her assistants, Tannis traveled with me and stayed past the ceremony for touch ups and she was so sweet and personable. I absolutely loved my experience with Joann and would highly recommend her and her team! read more

I was the most anxious about booking a makeup/hair person since 95% of the time I wear no makeup and my hair is a bun. JoAnn made me feel comfortable and made me and my bridal party look amazing. JoAnn listened to what I wanted but also tbh I did not know what I wanted, so was able to guide me into my best bridal look. My girls are all also now JoAnn believers- don't think twice about booking her! read more

JoAnn was one of the the best decisions that I made throughout the entire planning process. She was super accommodating and was always on time. She understands my crazy curly hair and made it beautiful! read more

Joann was so great! She did my makeup and my hair for the Indian wedding celebration portion of my marriage. She obviously knows exactly what she is doing and has an eye that knows exactly what tones and hues work best for your skin tone. I also enjoyed talking to her. The time went by so fast. If you want someone professional and talented you will not be disappointed. Thank you Joann! read more

There aren't enough kind words that I can say about JoAnn! In addition to being an amazing hair stylist, she also has the warmest personality and will put any nervous bride at ease. Throughout the whole process from trial to wedding day execution, JoAnn was very communicative, responsive, and flexible. It was truly a pleasure working with JoAnn! She made me feel like a million bucks on one of the most important days of my life, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair/makeup services. Wedding day hairdo: I did hair down with waves--JoAnn made sure to use the right sprays, etc. so that my hair looked amazing in my wedding photos, but would stay intact through dancing, etc. read more
