    Michelle has done my hair and makeup for several events over the years, but she truly outdid herself most recently when I was finally the bride! Her professionalism is second to none and I can honestly say I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day because of her! I highly recommend Michelle & will continue to use her for all of my future special occasions!

    Amazing Experience

    Michelle and Suzanne were absolutely AMAZING on my wedding day. They did hair and makeup for 8 women, finishing on time, and everyone looked gorgeous. They worked so hard to make sure everyone was happy with their final look and even applied touch ups right before we took pictures! The two of them are so unbelievably talented I never knew I could look so pretty. The price was so fair for the beautiful work they do and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to look their absolute best on their wedding day!

    Michelle was AMAZING to work with for my wedding day and made the entire experience stress free! She made me (the bride), bridesmaids, and mothers look fabulous with our hair styling and airbrushing makeup. Great communication from beginning to end, and was flexible enough when more people were added on to bring a co-stylist. She showed up to my hotel on time and highly prepared for hair and makeup. Highly recommend!

    Michelle is Fantastic!!

    I would rate Michelle 20 stars if I could! Not only were her prices very reasonable, she has a personality that makes you feel twice as beautiful. The make-up she put on me didn't cause me to break out and stayed on for the whole wedding. I have extremely long and heavy hair. She set my curls until all five of my bridesmaids were finished and then finished my hair. It was half up and half down and the curls and style set for the entire wedding, reception and the after party. Thank you so much Michelle!!
    PS. The price was for hair for me and a mix of hair and make-up for my bridesmaids.

    Michelle was amazing !! She is down to earth and easy to talk too and understand what you really want. It’s been a month since my wedding and still can’t get over how beautiful my makeup and hair was.

    She was very responsive and helpful when i asked for suggestions for hair pieces. She felt like she was part of the family that day because she went out her way to comfort my mom as she was getting nervous which meant the world to me! I am so happy we found her she is truly an angel !!!

    Exquisite Brides By Michelle's reply:

    Thank you so much Michelle for your amazing review!!! You have a beautiful family and your mother is such a nice woman. It was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you and your family getting you ready. I wish you many years of happiness together!! Stay in touch:)

    Michelle did hair for myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mom on my wedding day. She came to the hotel and did everything on-site. We had an unseasonably hot fall day with nearly 90 degree weather so she came up with various updos that looked good on everyone and kept hair from sticking to our backs. Mine stayed in almost all night until a few hairs started coming loose at the end of the reception from dancing too hard! Michelle was also very quick at responding to emails and my initial inquiry, which is great since there were several hair and makeup artists I found who did not respond at all.

    Exquisite Brides By Michelle's reply:

    Thank you so much for the rave review! So happy to hear everything held beautifully on such a hot day!!! I wish you na your husband many years of happiness!!

    Michelle and Sue did an absolutely amazing job at my wedding. My bridesmaids and I got both hair and makeup done, and my mom got her makeup done. Everything lasted all night long through happy tears and lots of laughter! We all got so many compliments on how we looked, and I know we all felt great about it! Michelle was right on time despite our early start time, and we were even able to finish early which was great to keep us on time!

    Michelle did a wonderful job with my and my sister's hair and makeup for my recent wedding. She was very responsive and extremely open to my wishes, ideas, and feedback both during my trials and my event. Even during some down time, she helped me put on my outfits and helped me pack my stuff which was not necessary of her to do but much appreciated. I think hair and makeup play such a large role for a bride on her big day, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything came together!! Would highly recommend!!

    Thank you so much Melissa for the stellar review! What a beautiful wedding and it was a pleasure to spend that special day with you!

    Michelle and Sue created hair and makeup works of art on my wedding day. We had an early morning start to fit in 3 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, 1 flower girl and me - the bride. They had their work cut out for them with different style requests and lots of long hair but they worked quickly, efficiently, and they were relaxed the whole time; which in turn kept me relaxed. We managed to stay on track in regards to time and all the ladies left happy with their hair and makeup in place. Michelle was a huge help in making my idea a reality, even when I was at a loss for words. She seemed to read my mind and produce the exact hairstyle I envisioned and a makeup look that was not overly done or underwhelming. We all looked beautiful and I cannot wait to see all the photographs that will show what these two women are capable of, true artistry. Thank you, Michelle and Sue for all your hard work, attention to detail, and for waking up so early to make up beautiful!

    Michelle did a wonderful job with my makeup! She was very friendly, professional and accommodating. I changed my mind about the eye shadow color that I had picked at the makeup trial, and she made the switch without a problem. She is also a perfectionist, which I loved. She took the time to add the finishing touches on my makeup to ensure that I looked perfect on my wedding day. :) I highly recommend her.

    It was awesome to have Michelle as my wedding makeup and hair artist! I did a trial with her few months prior to the wedding and it was a really great idea, she guided me very well with what would look best on me. She was extremely patient during the trial session and spend so much time listening and brainstorming different makeup and hair ideas.On the wedding day, she was absolutely amazing! Everyone loved the makeup and hair for both the ceremony and the reception, it was perfect!! I am really happy that I asked her to be my wedding makeup artist and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist.

    Michelle and Sue were absolutely phenomenal!! Michelle did what was best for my skin type, hair color, eye color and complimented the dress with the overall look. Completely satisfied and I will be recommending her in the future to many others.

    Michelle and Sue went above and beyond from the trial to my big day this past Saturday, even coming to our hotel in crummy weather!!! I'm very active and not one curl fell out of place or smudge/running of makeup when I was running around greeting guests, out on the dance floor, or outside for pictures while it was snowing! I have very sensitive skin and one of my girls has allergies to silicone and latex they were able to accommodate us completely. Even when I constantly had questions she took the time to answer them, they were always warm and friendly! Even when I did what many call the ultimate no-no for brides! I cut part of my hair at the nape of my neck short for a fundraiser just a week before the wedding, instead of being upset or frustrated with me she worked with me and complimented me for what I did!! I can not say enough great things about these ladies!!!

    Exquisite Brides By Michelle's reply:

    Thank you Catherine! This is such an endearing review! It truly was a pleasure working with you and your bridal party and what a fun group of people! One of the many reasons we love what we do and getting the pleasure to share your special day! Sue and I wish you many years of happiness together!!

    I used Michelle's services for my beach wedding and couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. She provided hair styling for myself, my mom, and Matron of Honor; we all looked gorgeous the entire day (even on the windy beach and boardwalk). Michelle was very responsive and always offered great suggestions from our very first communications. I was on the fence about doing a trial, but was so glad I did because I realized my initial vision wasn't the most practical. Michelle seamlessly created exactly the look I finally decided on for the big day. She was timely, efficient, and extremely fast in getting all three of us looking amazing. I didn't have to stress at all while she was around. I highly recommend her services and would also suggest a trial as well (price is very reasonable for all hair services). Not a single negative thing to say!

    Michelle did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for all of my wedding events. She was fun to work with, helped to keep me calm and listened to exactly what I was looking for. I got so many compliments on how "flawless" yet natural my makeup looked. I would recommend Michelle to any future bride!!

    Michelle did the make up for my wedding. I'm a person who normally doesn't wear much make up so the thought of having to have professional make up done for my wedding made me so nervous. Everyone including my photographer told me how important is was to have a good make up artist. I'm so glad I chose Michelle! The pictures came out so great! I looked absolutely beautiful! Michelle made me and my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning! She even covered a huge tattoo that one of my bridesmaids had. It looked amazing! You definitely will not be disappointed!

    Michelle provided hair services to myself and the bridesmaids. She was very patient with me - I have a lot of hair and could not decide on a hairstyle for my wedding day. We emailed several times, looked at photos and talked about ideas on several occasions. She was very supportive and tried a variety of styles - all of which were gorgeous. My hair was perfect on my big day. The bridesmaids all looked wonderful - regardless of whether their hair was long or short. Michelle was a pleasure to work with, was very personable and responsive.

    After looking for a hair and makeup artist that could also specialize in Indian weddings, I came across Michelle. Before a trial with Michelle, I was not considering airbrush makeup for my events. However, that changed when Michelle transformed my face and hair with her talented hands. Michelle was very easy to talk to, very accommodating, and a person who kept her cool during the hustle of an Indian wedding! Michelle was very knowledgeable with the different events for an Indian wedding, including how to drape my outfit and adorn my Indian jewelry. I am so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her to everyone. To this day I get compliments on my hair and makeup from my wedding weekend. If you are planning a big fat Indian wedding or any kind of wedding, Michelle is a must!

    It's safe to say that I will go down as Michelle's biggest pain-in-the-butt bride. She patiently accommodated me through THREE trials, not because she was incapable, but because I had no idea what I wanted. I often gave ambiguous direction and couldn't articulate what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. Michelle stayed professional and helped me through the entire process. She pinned and re-pinned my hair and applied and removed makeup until I figured out what I wanted. There aren't many people with as much patience and professionalism as Michelle!

    You can tell Michelle is a talented hairdresser and make-up artist just by the way she moves in the salon. She truly turns your hair and face into a work of art! She isn't one of those people that will do what SHE thinks is best; she will listen and do what you're comfortable with, guiding you along the way with her seasoned expertise.

    I can't thank Michelle enough for her help; I am very grateful to have her by my side as I prepare for my big day. I recommend Michelle without hesitation to any and every bride who wants to look and feel beautiful on their wedding day. THANK YOU MICHELLE!

    Michelle is a very talented make-up artist and hair stylist, and I'm so happy I was able to find her for my wedding! (The best part is, she's from my hometown, so I didn't have to travel far for the make-up/ hair trial. :) She is absolutely amazing. On the day of the wedding, Michelle put on make-up for me and my mom and did hair for me and my mom, while her additional stylist, Suzanne, did hair for my 5 bridesmaids. The ceremony was in the early afternoon, so Michelle and Suzanne were at the hotel very early, 7:45, and worked swiftly and efficiently for the next 5 hours. We ended up ahead of schedule and the results were beautiful. All of my bridesmaids LOVED their hair, I loved my make-up and hair, and my mom (who never wears make up, ever) also loved the results of Michelle's talents. We all got compliments on the hair and make-up throughout the day. I would highly recommend Michelle for any wedding.

    Michelle was amazing!!! I found her through vendor reviews and she ended up being the best person for the job. Every bride wants to look beautiful on her wedding day, and Michelle certainly has the talent to make that happen. She arrived on time at our wedding location to do my hair and make-up, all of my bridesmaids makeup, and my mother’s makeup. She even stepped in to redo my maid of honors hair-do who had her hair done earlier that day at her usual hair salon. The style she showed up with was that typically found on a 13 year old attending her first dance. Michelle was able to create a quick, sophisticated side bun for her instead, which looked effortless. In the end we all looked stunning!!! I honestly do not think I will ever look or feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My girls, who were at first hesitant and anxious about having their make-up done, also expressed how happy they were with the results. She really listened to them and styled their make-up according to their preferences. Furthermore, I was so impressed that my hair and make-up was just as perfect at the end of the night (9 hours later) without any touch-ups. I am truly so thankful that I found someone so talented and accommodating who was also reasonably priced (all make-up was airbrushed BTW). Though there are many makeup artists to choose from in the tri-state area I wouldn’t go with anyone else. I thought she was completely fabulous and I can’t thank her enough for making my day that much better. I highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion!!
