Flawless & Friendly Bridal Hair and Makeup…read more I am so happy that Zarielle did my hair & makeup for my wedding! My bridal trial was much longer than I anticipated because I was indecisive about my hair. Zarielle was patient with me, asked great questions, and had the ability to try every style I wanted- long & wavy, with extensions, up with a braid- she can do it all! She made me feel at ease, on time & schedule, and most importantly I loved the way I looked on my wedding day! Thanks Zarielle!

I was really concerned about finding a makeup artist because I needed someone that was willing to show up to my house at about 5am in the morning. I reached out to a number of artists - many didn't respond and of those that did - some were abrasive and pushy or wanted to charge an arm and a leg for coming early. From the jump, Tony was courteous, attentive, and flexible. He really listened to what I wanted, thought about it, and executed. And even though I changed my palette a bit a few days before the wedding, he was totally flexible. He did a test run with me before the wedding and it was no big deal for him to show up at my place at 5 am (I needed to leave for City Hall at 7:45 am). I covered his cabs to and from my home and he even provided me with lip gloss to refresh my lips throughout the day. In addition, Tony's rates were incredibly reasonable and well worth the cost! I highly recommend!

On June 13, 2026 she did my daughter in law and I make up for the baby shower and I still can't believe how she was able to pull it all off. She did my daughter in law makeup with even with my daughter in law suffering from her morning sickness; she sat and did it all wonderfully and with such care. We both are absolutely in love with the results of the makeup and hair-you did such an incredible job! From the moment I saw the final result, I knew it was worth the effort and time. We both feel good, and techniques used makes the natural beauty shine. What really stood out to me was how seamlessly everything was blended from my face down to my neck and shoulders-it looked flawless both in person and in photos. I had one main goal for the baby shower: it was that my daughter in law felt and look good, and most of all still feel like herself; just elevated-and you made that happen effortlessly. Nothing looked or felt heavy or overdone; just soft, radiant, and beautiful. More than anything, you gave us both so much confidence on one of the most important days this year as a mother and daughter in law. That's something I'II never forget. Thank you for your talent, your attention to detail.

A GEM OF A COIFFURE TUCKED ATOP FIFTH AVENUE:…read more I came across the SCK Salon during this summer. It's a little beauty gem tucked away on Fifth Avenue close to Saks. The salon interior is lovely and an experience in of itself: a pristine white loft on the fourth floor. It's well-designed, minimalist and sun kissed, making for a bright and lovely experience. The salon staff are efficient and so pleasant making the overall experience a boost to your day. I had a single process (with Tam) and cut (with Chen). Both were done professionally. Tam is such a pleasant and kind coiffure. Chen does an amazing blow dry and is a very talented hairdresser. He does good haircuts too. I cannot recommend both of them enough after the pleasant experience I had, right down to the thoughtfully prepared cappuccino and biscotti for their clients. The one thing that places this salon in my favourites list is the fact that they use Kerastase products which are really so agreeable with my hair type and have been a product that I have used since my 20's at hairdressers around the world. The Kerstase shampoos and conditioners brought back such nice and happy memories ... The prices range from USD 165-200 dollars for a single process. About USD 155- 258 dollars for a cut and USD 67-150 dollars for a blow dry. The only thing I would change or ask more of at this salon would be music, music, MUSIC! It's always great to have some tunes playing in the background as you get pretty or prettier, as the case maybe. Enjoy your time at Salon SCK. It's a dream to have your hair in their good hands.

Cherry Le did my makeup for a television premiere last week. It was my first time getting my makeup…read moredone since my wedding almost twelve years ago, and Cherry made this middle-aged mom feel glamorous and red carpet ready. I found Cherry on Yelp and messaged her just a few days ahead of the Tuesday night event. She responded with her quote and the relevant details, and after mulling over whether or not to spend the money, I secured the appointment with a deposit the night before. She only had a 1:00 slot available, but she was able to come to me, meeting me in my hotel room. She arrived right on time with an arsenal of beauty supplies. I liked her immediately. She was so friendly and energetic, and said flattering things about my skin, obviously music to my 39-year-old ears. I had a great time hanging out with her. She asked what I was looking for and I said I was walking a red carpet and just wanted to look good. She took me through her overall plan and started with my eye makeup, layering on colors and checking in to see if I was okay with the level of drama. I didn't know enough to weigh in and let her do her thing, and less than an hour later, I was fully dolled up. She even put fake eyelashes on top of my already fake eyelashes. To be honest, I was a little worried at first. I looked very dramatic for two in the afternoon, and I wondered if I'd let her go overboard. Once I was dressed and at the premiere, though, I felt fairly confident and comfortable and got lots of compliments. I walked the carpet, the second time I've done that in my life, and stood and posed awkwardly for a million photos. I've seen the pictures from both events and am really glad I got my makeup done this time around. The bolder makeup just worked better with those bright lights. I'm not professionally pretty (I'm a writer, which is, if anything, an ugly person's job) so it was fun to get my face painted and hang out with the attractive people who go to television premieres. Thanks to Cherry, I looked as good as my genes would allow. If you're looking for a professional makeup artist in New York City, I'd highly recommend Beauty by Cherry Le. She's a sweetheart, and she does excellent work.

I usually would breakout because people didn't know how to take care of my skin before painting my face, not with Joshua. He not only took care of my skin, he taught me how to and walked me through it step by step. He made me feel comfortable and he listened to me and gave me what I wanted while still glamorizing me. It was beyond an honor to have Joshua do my Makeup and any time I have any important gigs or events to attend; he is the man that I let only touch my face. I believe he was born with the innate ability to do what he does. He not only makes you look your best you, but he can transform your face and make it look beyond what you can imagine. Take it from me who never trusted makeup artists; he beyond knows what he is doing. And if you don't think this review is enough, YSL, ARMANI, DIOR and countless others agree with me.

At other salons, I have been told repeatedly that I have "so much hair," as though it were a problem or something I should feel guilty about. Appointments often felt rushed, and I would leave with a heavy, triangular haircut that made my hair look wider and harder to manage. Maria never made me feel that way. She was patient, took her time, and understood exactly where the weight needed to be removed without thinning my hair excessively or making the ends look weak. She gave me beautiful, soft layers that created movement, eliminated the bulky triangle shape, and made my hair feel lighter while still keeping its fullness. I was also nervous about going blonde because dark hair can easily turn orange, brassy, or damaged when it is lightened too aggressively. Maria created a soft ash blonde that looks elegant, dimensional, and natural against my complexion. It is bright without looking harsh, and the placement was designed to grow out softly so I would not be stuck with constant maintenance. What made the experience worth the price was the amount of care she put into every detail. Maria did not rush through my haircut or color because I had a lot of hair. She listened, worked patiently, and gave me exactly what I asked for while protecting the health of my hair. Maria is absolutely worth investing in, especially for anyone with thick, dense, textured, or naturally dark hair who has struggled to find a stylist with patience and experience. I highly recommend her at West Vibe Salon for layered haircuts, ash blonde balayage, dimensional blonde, and low-maintenance color in NYC.

My ends felt dry, the lighter pieces did not blend with my natural hair, and the grow-out always made it obvious that I needed another appointment. Maria at West Vibe Salon approached my hair completely differently. She focused on creating dimension instead of making everything lighter. She kept depth through my hair, added brightness where it would flatter my face, and blended the color so naturally that there is no obvious starting point. The result looks expensive but effortless. My hair has movement, shine, and contrast without looking striped or overly highlighted. The tone works beautifully with my complexion, and my hair still feels soft and healthy. I also love that I will not have to panic when my roots start growing because the balayage was designed to fade and grow out softly. This was the first time I left a color appointment feeling like the result actually matched my lifestyle. I wanted something noticeable, but I did not want high-maintenance hair or constant toning appointments. Maria gave me the balance I was looking for. I highly recommend Maria to anyone searching for natural-looking balayage in NYC, especially if you are tired of brassiness, uneven color, dry ends, or harsh grow-out. West Vibe Salon in Hell's Kitchen gave me the kind of personalized color experience I had been trying to find for years.
