Mack and her team are a dream team. We had to start the day very early and they all arrived on time and ready to work. There was limited time and so many people to get through that I was nervous about our time line... but guess this we were done ahead of time!! Mack is excellent and knows her stuff. When I first met her, I went to her salon because the last person who colored my hair over processed it and it was so dead. She helped salvage my hair for the wedding with a specific treatment schedule and boy am I grateful. The day of the wedding, I loved my whole look. Gabby crushed my makeup and I got compliments all night about it and how natural it looked. Mack is honest and does offer feedback to people, and I appreciate this about her. I can't think of one person from my wedding party who didn't have rave reviews about Mack and her team. Thank You!!!! read more

Mack Stylist - Makeup Artists Near Me

Great space, amazing cut! It's what I pictured in my head I just didn't know if it would come out right (I was afraid I wouldn't explain it well) Mackenzie is amazing!!! I told her my desired look & that I trust her to do what she thinks will look good in that style. She assured me during our style consult the details of how to execute the desired look I want & how it's gonna play out during the actual cut and how to style it so that I get the look I want on a daily basis. It came out perfect!! She delivered an amazing cut that boosts my confidence every time I get a complement on it ( which is very often) thank you!!! read more

Mack Stylist - Makeup Artists Near Me

Mack did my make up and hair for my wedding and I'm so happy I chose her! I wanted someone who could deliver understand my aesthetic for the day and execute a creative vision, which she did beautifully :) Her team was so efficient and kind to all of us on the day of - they even went above and beyond and helped tame my husbands curls the day of. Couldn't say enough good things! read more

I recently was in a wedding and the bride hired Mack Stylist to come to our hotel room and do the bridal party's hair and makeup. I am rating 3.5 (okay 4 by default) stars as an average. I feel like I need to write two separate reviews because I had two different experiences. Here's why. Makeup: 5 stars! Lakisha was absolutely amazing. She was very professional, funny and sweet. She transformed everyone to look even more beautiful than they already were. The bride requested a "natural" look for the wedding and she delivered. I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done at 8am and the wedding ceremony wasn't even until 4pm. After getting my makeup done I hung around the hotel room with the girls, ate breakfast and then lunch. Before Lakisha left she touched up my makeup but I was surprised that I didn't really need any touch ups, just a little reapplication of my lipstick (which she just used lip liner with a gloss on top). I did not decide to use airbrush makeup because it was an additional $50. In the end I am glad I did not use the airbrush because I could not tell the difference between airbrush/non airbrush within the bridesmaids. My makeup stayed on all night and even pictures taken at midnight looked just as good as 8am. Lakisha even gave the bride a little container with the lip color she used so she could reapply throughout the night. She also used all MAC makeup which is my favorite! Hair: 2 stars. Mack styled the bridal party's hair. Again, I was the first so it was important that my hair style not only make it throughout the day, ceremony and reception, but we also had the added bonus of rain. I really had no ideas what I wanted for my hair and the bride's only request was that the bridesmaids get an updo. I spoke to Mack about styles I like in my hair (I mentioned I like a side braid or braids in general) and she suggested a sexy, romantic hairstyle with loose curls. Sounded great to me! She curled my hair and I could tell that she was playing around with it to see exactly where it would fall. In the end, my hair looked great, lasted all day and I received a ton of compliments. She even curled the few pieces in the front before she left as a touch up and applied a ton of hairspray. Unfortunately some of the other girls did not have such a pleasant experience with Mack. She did have a bit of an attitude with some of the girls and a bit of an ego. One of the clients was not happy with her hair and instead of explaining that the hairstyle the client wanted wouldn't work, she just did what she wanted to do. When confronted about the hairstyle (which in my opinion was really bad..) she had an attitude but agreed to restyle the hair. The second hairstyle was much better and the client was happier. Mack does good hair, that's obvious. I was just taken aback by the unprofessional nature. The total for my hair and makeup was $165 (lashes were an extra $20) and only cash or check was accepted. read more

Mack Stylist - Bridesmaid hair - Makeup Artists Near Me

For our wedding day, I didn't feel like running around to salons so looked into on-site hair and makeup. After looking at photos and reviews of various stylists, I set up a trial with Mack Stylist. Even though we didn't settle on my final look during the trial, I felt confident that they could do a good job and booked them shortly after. Nicck and Alison did makeup and hair for me, my mom, and bridesmaids on the day of my wedding. My MOH called them wizards, and I'd have to totally agree. They were laid back and easy to be around but did an excellent job on every one of us. I gave very vague direction for both hair and makeup, and both turned out better than I could have hoped for. After crying like a mess at numerous weddings in the past, I asked Nicck about running makeup. He said "girl, my makeup doesn't move." SO TRUE. I cried, and not so much as a smudge of eye makeup or anything. There are pictures of me from 2am where, aside from looking drunk (celebratory tequila was necessary!), I still look pretty fantastic more than 14 hours after the makeup was applied. Though it was sometimes difficult to get a response to email right away and Mackenzie seems very busy at times, I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. The peace of mind in knowing that you'll look fantastic is worth it. read more

Mack Stylist was amazing and totally worth it!! I had originally booked someone else for hair and makeup with a recommendation from a friend that had gotten married about 6 months before me. I had already done my trial and everything. About 2 months before my wedding, they canceled on me with no explanation! I got a last minute recommendation for Mack from one of my friends who models and has worked with Mackenzie on photo shoots. Mackenzie was great from the start. She was very good about getting back to me promptly so I could get everything set up and confirmed. I was a little worried because I was an out of town bride and wouldn't be returning to Philly until my wedding weekend so I had no time for a trial. In the end it didn't matter. I had Mackenzie for hair and Nicck for makeup. They were both so professional and did a great job. I loved my wedding hair so much - it was even better than the trial hair I had gotten by my original stylist by a landslide. She did a great job on my bridesmaids and the mom's as well. And as far as makeup went with Nicck, I've never felt prettier in my life and he made the entire wedding party look absolutely gorgeous as well. I was a little concerned with the price and ended up spending more than I had originally budgeted for since I was buying hair and makeup for everyone but in the end it was 100% worth it and I wouldn't change one thing! Mack Stylist is definitely the best of the best! read more

Second time taking my boys to see Kelsey. Both times she did not disappoint taking her time and delivering the funky cute boy types of styles that few can execute as well. I'll be going back to see her myself! So nice to have a place to walk to in the 'hood! read more

Mack Stylist - The boys post haircut. - Makeup Artists Near Me

Where to begin with such a phenomenal experience? Mackenzie and her team of stylists did the hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding which included the bride, 9 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, a grandmother and an aunt. Sounds like it would be mayhem, right? Nope. Mack made sure everything was organized, professional, on time and fun. She listened to everyone's wishes and created magic. Everyone looked flawless. I would recommend Mack Stylist to anyone and everyone. Mack is simply, the best! read more

I got my hair and makeup done by Mack for my wedding and it was an amazing experience, but in this case I wanted to write about their hair coloring and styling services, because not enough people write about this fantastic aspect of the business! Mack came in on a weekend to cut and shape my hair. I trusted her to help me when I wanted to cut my hair short (a huge transition!!) and she didn't let me down. This is probably the best hair style I've ever had and when I went in today to get it trimmed, I came out with it looking exactly how I had wanted it! Mack is great at listening to what you say and knowing what you want. She also gives amazing suggestions for styling and care without pushing products on you (although she does have a bunch of great, good quality things in the studio if you need product.) Mack is also so chill and easy to talk to, so if you're going to spend an hour sitting and chatting someone, she's a good one to pick!! Definitely get in touch if you need to upkeep your style or try something completely new-- Mack is awesome! read more

We live right down the street from Mack, but I wasn't sure if they just did events and weddings so I emailed them and it turns out they do regular cuts as well. I moved to the Philly area almost 3 years ago and have bounced around from stylist to stylist unable to really find one that worked for me. In part it was probably my fault for not being able to fully articulate what wanted, even if I did bring pictures. What I really appreciated about Mackenzie is that she took the time to really talk to me and figure out what I was looking for, she listened to what my routine is and gave me some tips on things I could do that might help me get the results I want. I've had the hair cut for a couple of days now and I'm really happy with it, I've styled it a couple of different ways and just done my normal routine with it. Mackenzie also offers free bang trims which is great because I hate making a mess of them trying to do it myself. I was very happy with this experience and will definitely be coming back. read more

Working with Alison Sileo was an absolute dream. She worked with my very thick and long curly hair to transform it into a beautiful styled bohemian braid for my wedding. She also did an amazing job styling all of my bridesmaids as well. She worked with the inspiration photos I showed her and more than exceeded my expectations. Alison was beyond patient with my group (we ran a bit behind when we were setting up before getting ready) and is just truly a lovely stylist. Alison made my hair dreams come true for my wedding day and I am so grateful for her services. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a stylist who truly delivers amazing customer service with endless talent to match! Thank you again Alison! read more

Mack Stylist - Alison Sileo's work on my hair for my wedding this past September at Fire Light Camps in Ithaca, NY. - Makeup Artists Near Me

See all

I've been going to Mackensie for years. I have super straight Asian hair and can tell when there is even a slight slip up. I've had my hair colored, and cut into so many different styles. She really has a knack for knowing her clients and making them feel at ease. I've even had an up do for a wedding, and I don't let anyone pull my hair up for weddings as it can get a little cheesy on Asian hair. I would recommend Mack or any of her stylists or makeup artists!!! read more

I've worked with Alison Sileo twice for shoots, she is always reliable, on time and friendly! I loved how my hair came out both times, and neither time did it take particularly long at all to get the end result we both wanted. She always understands the concept being described, and does a great job making the hair idea in the client's head come to life. read more

I recently worked with Alison for my wedding in October- she did my and my bridal party's hair. Alison came to the house we were getting ready and did an amazing job! We had done a trial a few months before, which was super helpful to play around with a few styles. Ultimately I had her do a combination of braiding and an updo, based on an image I had found, and she executed it perfectly! I got so many compliments, it looked awesome in pictures, and it held up even though I danced the night away. Alison has great energy and was a pleasure to have around the morning of the big day. Highly recommended! read more

Love! Love! Love this place! The ladies at Mac take great care of you. They not only make you look beautiful, but they make you FEEL beautiful and special. Great colors! Flawless cuts! Go here!!! It is worth it! read more

Mackenzie did a great job for my friend's wedding and so I booked her for my own haircut. She's great at what she does and asks a lot of questions and makes suggestions to customize a style that works for you. She tried to save me from impulsively chopping off my long hair by giving me a medium length cut and offering to have me back within the week if I still wanted it shorter. I ultimately went back to have it shortened but only after much deliberation and staring in the mirror -- she gave me a fantastic haircut initially. I was just ready for the short style! A+ read more

Mackenzie is great! I booked her for my wedding make-up based on reviews, and she absolutely lived up to expectations! Very easy to work with, and knowledgable. She helped me figure out exactly what worked best to enhance my skin tone and features, while sticking with my personal taste in make-up. She did make-up for all of my family and everyone was very pleased. I'm very happy to say the reviews were right, and she is worth the 5 stars!! read more

I recently received a gorgeous total makeover with Mackenzie. I was long overdo for a haircut and color but was having a hard time letting go of my long hair, even though it was kind of dull and lifeless. Mac is a very helpful and thoughtful stylist who really considers what you are looking for and is able to offer some additional options to help you look and feel your best. I didn't know what cut I wanted but I knew that I wanted more volume. I decided to trust her expertise and the results are even better than I could have hoped for! I feel like a new, naturally beautiful woman! So glad I was open to change! Thank you Mackenzie!!! read more

Loved working with Mackenzie and her crew!! I was searching for a hair and makeup artist to come onsite for my wedding at the Hotel Monaco this past summer and Mack was a perfect fit! Not only did she do phenomenal work on the day of the wedding, she helped me in the months leading up to the big day getting my very dark brown hair lightened so it would be perfect for July! Mackenzie and her whole team are super talented and I would absolutely recommend their services for your wedding or any event!! read more

All I can say is "wow"! Two days ago I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, and came to Mack Stylist for an updo. Just two weeks before the wedding, the bride was unsatisfied with her experience at her first salon choice, so we were scrambling to find a new place. I had been to Mack Stylist for my last haircut and loved it, so I contacted them on a whim. I fully expected everyone to be booked so close to the wedding, but we were getting desperate. Amazingly enough, Mackenzie had a couple open appointments! She made the bride look like some kind of movie star, and I couldn't believe how quickly she turned my hair from a frizzy mess into a romantic updo. Mackenzie was also super accommodating, squeezing in a last minute appointment for the maid of honor (literally, she asked about it while Mackenzie was still working on the bride), who had previously planned to do her own hair and ran out of time. We all looked gorgeous for the whole day, especially the bride. Mackenzie really saved the day, considering that we had absolutely no plan just two weeks before. She is a true professional, and I will recommend Mack Stylist to anyone in a heartbeat. read more

Mackenzie and Jess were a dynamic and mega creative team. I think what I loved most about Mack Stylist was their ability to take my original idea and just make it a work of art. It was no longer the Kiera Knightly hair style I found but they transformed it into an original "Aimee" look. I have never felt more beautiful in my whole life and my bridesmaids and mother were all stunning compliments to the overall look. I didn't feel overly made up either, it was super retro chic but I still felt like me which is how every bride should feel. Apart from the beauty aspect Mack and her team are incredibly professional and the line of communication was always open. If you hire Mack Stylist, and you really should, one thing I would recommend is to not be too controlling. They are pros and know what they're doing. If you don't like something they will listen, but I really feel it came together in such a beautiful way because I kept an open mind and trusted in their talent. Bravo! read more

After looking and looking for a place to get my hair and makeup done, I found Mack Stylists. I was quite last minute and a friend assured me I'd be much happier if I found someone who came to me rather than running around to salons on my wedding day. She was right!! Mack and her makeup artist Nick were completely delightful to work with, fun and funny and kept the mood light hearted. I personally don't wear a lot of makeup so it's always a bit jarring seeing my face all done up, but Nick totally knew what he was doing! It stayed on for a solid 11 hours, lipstick included, and I felt great... and the photos from the day turned out gorgeous (I am not the most photogenic person). As for the hair, I wasn't the best at describing what I wanted.... yet somehow Mack absolutely nailed it. My hair was elegant, perfectly suited for the overall look, and I felt totally comfortable in my first updo of 12 years. One last thing to mention... Mack was moving offices, but gladly accommodated my needs by having me at her home for the trial. If that doesn't speak enough to her professionalism, she was always prompt in her responses to my inquiries and upfront with her prices. I can't recommend them enough... if you don't want to stree out on the day of your wedding go with Mack and her team. read more
