I had the most difficult time finding hair and make-up artists for my Wedding Day - not for lack of…read moreartist availability, but because I was so nervous I'd be disappointed and not have my vision become a reality. Planning my wedding for 14 months, I continually pushed off booking hair and makeup artists and instead focused my time elsewhere - centerpieces, photography, linens, etc. There's not a shortage of projects to finish or vendors to book, right? Well, before I knew it, we were 30 days until Wedding Day and I was still without hair or makeup. We were at the point where my Mother-in-Law-to-be was actually booking trial appointments for me. Website after website I searched - every single vendor on the Knot, suggestions from family, friends and former brides, etc. Although I loved some of the work I saw, I didn't love enough of one artist's gallery to pull the trigger and book... until Stacey Frasca of Studio 28. Not only was her website informative and her gallery uber-impressive, but her 6 consecutive years of the Knot's "Best of Weddings" (It's now 7-years!) and 4 years of Wedding Wire's Bride/Couples Choice Awards could not be over-looked. If I needed reassurance my vision would come to life, this was certainly it. I contacted Stacey and when she replied with my date open, I was ecstatic. She was even able to offer a friend and colleague to do my hair! I met with both Stacey and Michelle DeCosta from Jesamondo Salon & Spa at Stacey's Wellesley Studio just 21-days before my wedding (cutting it close, huh?). Both ladies looked at the Pinterest pictures I brought, listened to my ideas, likes and dislikes and ultimately put together something more beautiful than the vision I had in my head. Once the veil was set in place and I looked all bridal, I booked them both on the spot. On my wedding day, both Stacey and Michelle arrived right on time (8am) to the hotel and quickly got to work on 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, aunt and of course, me - the bride. Together, they worked seamlessly, keeping on their set schedule which allowed us to get to the ceremony on time. What I thought would be a stressful morning, wasn't. Stacey and Michelle were both able to keep the atmosphere relaxed and positive and fun. I told my girls I wanted their hair up, but the style was completely their choice. Their hair ranged from short and straight to very, very long and frizzy. Michelle definitely had her work cut out for her and she was SO on point! Every up-do was clean and neat and exactly the look I was going for. Most of my bridal party wears very little makeup and I was really worried about looking at my photos later and not being able to recognize anyone. Stacey was able to beautifully accent everyone's features and make us feel glamorous. The airbrush make-up was light and left our skin flawless all night long. Oh! And the artificial eyelashes definitely made our eyes pop perfectly. I can honestly say I've never felt more beautiful and everyone's confidence shined in both our pictures and video. Stacey and Michelle are a Bride's Beauty Dream Team. Thank you, ladies!

I've been a blonde my whole life but its started to darken as I've gotten farther into my 20's. When I read Marina's reviews she sounded almost too good to be true. I called and left her a message about what I needed and what kind of hair I had and she called back within the hour. Not only was she extremely kind over the phone but she really seemed to understand what I needed and I set up an appointment with her as soon as possible. About a week later she was in my kitchen drinking coffee and doing my hair. It was like having a cool older sister I never knew existed! We chatted and laughed the entire time she was coloring my hair. When it was time to wash my color out she brought me over to the sink. I was surprised that a stylist could really put that much time and compassion into something as simple as washing my hair. Afterwards she gave me a blowdry and styled my hair and I kid you not I felt like Marilyn Monroe by the end of it. Suffice to say I'll be booking Marina every few months from now on. 10/10 would suggest Follow my blog for more adventures! https://gronbergerandfries.wordpress.com/

Marina was so accommodating to what everyone was looking for and made us all feel beautiful. She spent the entire day with us and helped us plan out the schedule so that everything went exactly as planned and on time. The makeup and hair styles looked great all night long and, most importantly, my mom had an incredibly special day. Thank you Marina for being such an important part of it!

I've been going to Vanessa and having my hair styled by Carol for over a literal decade. I've grown…read moreup from high school, through college, work, and now in graduate school, and I still go to Carol because that is just how much I trust her with my hair! I have a lot of hair, and it is thick and dark and can be difficult to understand how to style in a flattering way. I've gotten many cuts, several Japanese hair straightening treatments, a prom styling, and a few different colors over the years, and I have never been disappointed. Carol is, in a word, incredible. She will work with you to figure out what works best for you, your hair, and your lifestyle. 1) Cuts. I've had bangs, short hair, and long, layered hair all done here. Carol always double checks with you to see what you would prefer at every stage. My job requires me to tie my hair back, for example, so we always make sure my hair is left long enough to be neatly pulled back. 2) Treatments. Carol actually recommended the hair straightening treatment to me back in high school as I was having trouble handling my thick, wavy and frizzy hair at the time. Though the treatment took hours, I was left with beautifully sleek, long lasting hair. That was back in 2013. I have gone approximately once a year since then to have the treatment done, and it is worth every penny. My hair has become much more manageable (especially in the summer!), and Carol has been able to adjust the strength of the treatment to match how my hair texture has changed over time. 3) Coloring. I've had 3 different balayages and 1 solid color done here. Carol and I always discuss beforehand what is possible for my hair. As I mentioned, my hair is naturally very dark, almost a true black, and was usually grown out in my natural color when I went in for a coloring appointment. When I want to color my hair, I show Carol a few pictures and we talk about which ones may be edited and which ones would require a lot of time to lighten, process, and tone. On Carol's suggestion, we usually go for balayage since I'm usually not able to go in for touchups and need a style that grows out well. More than anything, Carol is very honest about how long it will take to process your hair, and is absolutely willing to spend time to work with you to make sure you love the result. To top it all off, both Carol and Lisa are warm, welcoming, and talkative, and so it is a real treat when I get to go see them for a few hours! Leaving with fantastic hair is the cherry on top. Safe to say, I'll continue to go to Vanessa Bridal for as long as I can!

I came in this morning for my hair cut and to color my hair. I showed Carol an online picture of a girl's hair and told her that's the color I want. The color is showed as picture 1. After 4 hours later, I got a golden yellow instead( the picture 2). The boss said" it is so pretty!" I doubt about it. I said" it is too yellow and that's not what the color I showed her this morning" Carol said " I think this color does not fit your profession I will redo your color this afternoon" Then the boss ask for 250 dollars for the hair cut and color service. I gave 10 dollars for tips and the boss said it is too little. "Usually we got 20 dollars or 30 dollars for tips." Then I paid total $270 for the hair cut plus coloring service and tips. She told me the hair cut price is $38 dollars and $212 is for the hair coloring service. Then I came back in the afternoon, Carol redo my hair twice in the afternoon and gave me a yellowish green or greenish yellow hair. (Picture 3) It is not the color I showed her! I showed her the color I want this morning and also this afternoon before she did anything. I paid $270 for my hair and what I got is not even close to what I showed her. If you can not do it, let me know in front. She tried to persuade me to let her color my hair another time. I refused because I already gave her a second chance and she failed. I don't what her to touch my hair anymore. I asked for my money back but they refused. They said we don't give money back. You can call the police. I called police and the officer said I should sue them on a small claim court for my money back. I will do that and I felt shamed for them. Poor service, greedy and bad attitude.

Even our mothers, who are not used to wearing much makeup or having other people do it, commented on how beautiful and glamorous they felt. And they looked it! Janis even did some light makeup and skin evening for me and my husband, which came out great for the pictures. Both Janis and her hairstylist did an excellent job of making the whole wedding party feel at ease. They have such an easygoing, friendly, and humorous nature that calms all your nerves.
