Amy did my hair and the wedding party's hair for my December 10th wedding this year. Maryanne did all of our makeup. They both did a fantastic job. We all looked liked prettier versions of our everyday selves-nobody was over done, and nobody was too plain. Everyone looked just perfect. As they were all packed up and ready to leave (I just got into my dress and one of my curls got pulled straight in the process)I came out and asked Amy if she could fix it really quick. She had to go into her bag and put on her curling iron again and fied it. It doesn't sound like much but to a bride who is nervous and wants everything perfect-that was so appreciated. They both cared so much to make sure everyone was happy with their results which is so important.If anyone in the south shore area is looking for vendors for hair and makeup this is the place! They were so nice, funny, and literally did a perfect job on everyone!!

My daughter and I were in Boston for a party and we used Meghan for make up and Tiffany for hair. They were both prompt and friendly! They did a beautiful job and listened to exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend using Meghan and Tiffany for your next special event!

When researching hair & makeup vendors, Special Event Beauty was a name that came up time and time again. There's a reason for this - they are fabulous. I worked with Deborah Marcinowski (makeup) and Tiffany Russell (hair) and I can't say enough wonderful things about them. After an initial trial at Deborah's house, I was confident that they were the best pick for hair/makeup for myself and my 5 bridesmaids. Both Deborah and Tiffany were very responsive over email/text, provided amazing service on my wedding day, and offered a great value. I wholeheartedly recommend Special Event Beauty to any soon to be blushing bride.

Noel M. was amazing!She showed up on time and ready to go the morning of my wedding, which to a bride was a huge relief! Her fun attitude and professionalism set the mood for the morning in a suite filled with anxious women.She truely calmed me down and set my tone for the day that everything would be great...she even gave me a weather update about how wonderful it was outside!She was everything we needed, and even allergy meds for my MOH.I could not imagine having used anyone but Noel for my big day.She was outstanding and I would absolutely use her again in the future...no questions asked.Thank you Noel...you made me look like the princess I felt like that day.

I worked with Amy and Lisa for my wedding hair and makeup. They were both wonderful to work with. They were both very easy going and easy to work with. From my initial meeting with them I instantly felt comfortable. They did 7 girls hair and makeup for my wedding and everyone looked beautiful! No matter what each girl asked for they were able to understand what they were looking for and make it look great. One of my bridesmaids was so happy with her hair and makeup she will be using them for her wedding next fall. I would highly recommend Amy and Lisa...you'll be in good hands!

I used Special Event Beauty for my September 24,2011 wedding. Noel did my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids' makeup. Tiffany did my bridesmaids' hair. I thought they did an amazing job! They showed up right on time and were very pleasant and easy to get along with. My trial with Noel was great, but I ended up wanting a different look for my wedding day. Noel was able to acheive the exact look I wanted. I loved the airbrush makeup. It made my skin look flawless, and it lasted the whole night. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and so did my bridesmaids. We got comments all night long. I had a great wedding which I think was made even better because I felt good with the way I looked. I would recommend special event beauty to anyone!

Hiring Noel to do makeup at my wedding was the single best decision I made. My flower girl called her the "miracle worker" and she was seriously was. First she did beautiful makeup on me, two mothers and 3 bridesmaids who all have very different styles. Everyone was thrilled with how they looked! Noel was able to match makeup to everyone’s own style. She is more than a makeup artist though, she made sure not only my makeup looked great but that my dress, veil, hair was perfect before I walked down the aisle. She also sewed a missing button on my flower girl’s dress, tied their bows and was calm whenever any little snafu came up. If you want to look gorgeous on your wedding day call and ask to hire Noel, I can not say enough wonderful things about her.

I worked with Amy and Kim for my hair and make-up for my wedding. They went above and beyond not only on the day of the wedding, but leading up to the big day when I requested more than one trial because I changed my mind on how I wanted to look on my wedding day. They are SO customer service oriented and take such great care of their clients. They are both super friendly and just overall incredibly nice people. I would recommend them to anybody looking for AMAZING hair and make-up for a FABULOUS price and an overall FANTASTIC experience.

Special Event Beauty could not have been a more perfect choice for my wedding day for a list of reasons! Of all the services a bride has to schedule for her wedding day, the make up artist was the most stressful for me! I wear very little make up on a regular basis so I was fearful of not looking like myself on my wedding day. I have freckles so I was nervous they would be caked over with make up...not the case at all!I met with Kim for my trial and booked immediately! Everything was perfect. I even had the fake lashes put on but because they are individual lashes and not a strip like most artists stick on...it was the perfect touch! Kim also made up my bridesmaids and catered to the look they wanted. Everyone was beyond pleased and compared to some of the other prices I looked at...was very reasonable! Plus the lashes are included where other make up artists charged $25 extra for them. I really cannot say enough about Kim and her team.

Noel was the makeup artist for my bridesmaids and I on my August 26th wedding and seriously, I could not have been happier!! I knew from the day I met her at my trial that not only would she do an absolutely FABULOUS job on my makeup, but that she would make a great addition to my big day, and I certainly was not wrong!! She's the most beautiful person inside and out and everyone from my bridal party, to my mom, my new mother in law, and my hairstylist fell in love with her! I've already received so many compliments on the way that my makeup looked both in person and in the pictures (which is also super important!) I would recommend her to anyone asking for an amazing makeup artist (and I'm pretty sure she would be amazing at hair too!) Thanks Noel for making my day even more perfect :)

Kim was absolutely wonderful to work with during the time leading up to the wedding. She always made herself available. She was patient with my questions and always responded to me quickly. I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Kim, as she did my make-up at a friend's wedding a couple of years ago. I loved her work and knew that I wanted her for my wedding. I typically don't wear a lot of makeup. She kept the makeup natural for my wedding, but added just a little bit of glamour, which is exactly what I wanted. Everyone in my wedding party was extremely happy with her work. She does a great job of reading people and finding out how they want to look. Everyone's makeup looked so natural and lasted the entire day and night.

NOEL IS AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for anything more. I stumbled upon Noel a few months before my wedding and this proves everything happens for a reason. She was so helpful, kind and accommodating to my needs. After a trial and 2 hours of her time and patience, I knew I was in for a real treat. On the day of my wedding she showed up with all of her gear and was such a wonderful person to have as part of the day. She made everyone look beautiful and didn't miss a single detail. She is simply fantastic! A good person and a FANTASTIC makeup/hair artist!

I hired Special Event Beauty do the hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding. Noel and Kerry did the hair and makeup for the rehearsal dinner. Kim and Kerry did the hair and makeup for the wedding. All of the ladies were absolutely wonderful! I am so glad I hired them.We were running late the day of our rehearsal. Noel and Kerry were great at keeping everyone calm (even my mom!). And getting everything finished up quickly. They were both such fun and calming people to have around.The day of the wedding, Kim and Kerry showed up bright and early. They even brought me a gift! They were such fun to have around all day. In addition to myself, I had a huge bridal party, two moms, and two flower girls who all needed hair and makeup and all have very different looks. Kim and Kerry made everyone look gorgeous. I highly recommend them!

Noel did my hair and my bridesmaid's makeup for my wedding. She was AMAZING. Not only was her makeup and hair doing skills spot on but she was such a fun and lively presence while we were getting ready. She was right on time with a smile on her face even though the poor girl had to be there at 5:15am! I would recommend Noel for hair and makeup in a heart beat and I may even have her doll me up again just for a night out with the girls. She's a great person I'm glad I got to meet her!

I had Rachel for hair and Maryanne for makeup - could not have been happier with both! They were super flexible throughout the entire process. I ended up having 2 hair trials because I didn't know what I wanted and Rachel was always up for anything. On my wedding morning she ended up doing 2 hairstyles on me because I didn't like the first and her only comment was "That's why I wanted to start you early!" Maryanne was great - I changed my mind between our trial and the wedding day, and what I ended up with for my wedding makeup was absoluetely perfect. They had smiles on their faces all morning - they were never stressed, and all of my bridesmaids and the mothers looked gorgeous. Everyone was really happy with their services.

I hired Noel to do my hair and makeup, and I am very happy I did! Not only Noel do a great job with my hair and makeup during my wedding weekend, but she also proved to be helpful in a few unexpected ways. She does fantastic work and has a wonderful personality. I highly recommend her! I planned my Boston wedding from my home in Philadelphia. Planning an out of town wedding was not easy, especially since I would only be in Boston for 3-4 days total during my engagement. I booked a trial with Noel after reading rave reviews. I was in town for about 24 hours that weekend, and she was able to fit me in no problem. She did a great job with the trial, and I hired her on the spot. She was always quick to respond with any questions I emailed her with in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The night before our wedding, we had a Chinese banquet in Chinatown. Noel came to my hotel and did my hair and makeup. I wore a cheongsam that night. Noel came up with a great hairstyle that mimicked part of the pattern of my dress. My hair and makeup looked great and lasted all night.The morning of my wedding, Noel showed up bright and early, ready to go. She did a wonderful job with my hair and makeup, and had no problem making small changes when I decided I wanted something a little different. We finished a bit early, so she even helped me work on the sash for my dress. I had purchased some fabric flowers that I wanted to pin to my sash. When I attempted to arrange the flowers, I couldn't get them to look right. Noel offered to give it a try, and she nailed the look I was going for. On top of that, Noel was the one who was able to properly get me into my dress after failed attempts by my mom and maid of honor (zipper issues). Thank goodness she was there! I joked with Noel that I'll never forget her since she'll be in so many of my "getting ready" photos. When it was all said and done, my hair and makeup looked exactly the way I'd pictured it in my head. My hair and makeup lasted all day, which is impressive given that we had to be outside for a couple hours in 90+ degree heat.

Maryanne from Special Event Beauty was absolutely wonderful. From the wedding trial to the wedding day, Maryanne was very great to work with. She was very responsive to any questions I had. On the day of the wedding, Maryanne was on time and ready to get right to work. I had 6 bridesmaids, myself and my mother have their makeup done. Everybody was ecstatic with how their makeup came out and received tons of compliments all night. My mom was nervous about having her makeup done and not looking like herself, but was extremely happy with how her makeup came out and how Maryanne listened to what she wanted. My mom looked stunning and was very pleased with her decision to have her makeup done. I absolutely loved my makeup as well. All of our makeup stayed on all night, even through lots of sweating at an outdoor July wedding with hard dancing. I would recommend Special Event Beauty to any bridal party.

Could not have asked for better!!! Noel and Rachel were amazing. Bottom line is that they saved my wedding!!! I had another vendor blow it and discovered, just as they were finishing up our hair and makeup, that my florist thought my wedding was the following day and was not even in the state. Despite a meltdown on my part, Noel and Rachel took over to my great thanks. Noel was on the phone with my vendor while Rachel dealt with me (my makeup didn't even run!!!). My family credits them with literally saving the wedding as Noel was able to make me "okay" with the situation. Not only are they amazing hair and makeup artists, but also amazing people! I already has my one single bridesmaid tell me that she is going to use them when she gets married :)

Noel and Lisa made up myself, nine bridesmaids, and my mother on my wedding day. We had an earlier wedding, so the ladies needed to arrive early in the morning. They were right on time and were efficient, yet relaxed throughout the entire morning. After several hours of hair and makeup, we all looked gorgeous and were right on time to snap some pictures and head to the church. It was so convenient to have the services done in the comfort of our own home and was a great experience overall! I would definitely recommend Special Event Beauty to any bride who wants a stress-free wedding morning!

I had Amy and Noel do my hair and make up respectively for my June 24, 2011 wedding at Indian Pond Country Club. Of all the planning in the wedding, this was the thing I was most nervous about because of prior bad updos and crazy make up for prior formal events. As soon as I met Amy and Noel at the trial, they put me right at ease. They were prepared, as they had me send them ideas for hair and makeup way in advance of the trial. The trial went seemlessly and the hair and makeup was everything I could have hoped for. When the big day came, not only did my hair and makeup come out beautiful, but they also took care of : 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 2 flower girls. They kept things light and fun the day of, despite a few in room drink spills (sorry!!) . They accompanied us to the venue to do touch ups as well and even tied a bow or two for the flowergirls and bridesmaids! I cannot tell you how happy I was with their attention to detail, their warm nature, and professionalism. I would hire them again without reservation and would recommend them fully ! Thanks again !
