Everyone looked beautiful and we all couldn’t be happier!

I can’t say enough good things about the ladies at Avenue 42. From consultation, to booking, to correspondence, to hair & make up trials and finally to wedding day everything was perfect. I worked with Diane a lot while setting up the booking and the timeline and she was always responsive and able to accommodate every request. Even a week before the wedding, my fiancé’s grandmother asked if she could get her makeup done and without any hesitation, Diane added her to the roster. Jane, Krista and Allison not only kept us on schedule, but made everyone feel special and comfortable. We had a group of 11, ages 9 to 87 getting hair and makeup done and everyone looked amazing! Everyone was so pleased with how they looked on my wedding day, especially when looking back at the pictures. I worked with Jane for my hair and makeup trials as well. She created a look for me that was absolutely perfect, even though I couldn’t really articulate what exactly I wanted. I did the trials in the salon and the ladies traveled to our venue for wedding day. Everyone looked beautiful and we all couldn’t be happier! Definitely recommend the talented ladies at Avenue 42.

Everyone looked stunning

Avenue 42 did my wedding hair and makeup, along with my bridesmaids and mother! I could not have been more pleased with how STUNNING everyone looked! Jane, Krista and Jesika were truly a dream team and were so efficient the day of. You know they are talented when 0 out of 12 picky girls have no complaints and are obsessed with their looks! My sister Allison (also an Ave42 stylist) did my hair in a classic hollywood wave that was so simple and perfect, and Krista knocked my minimalist/glowy makeup look out of the park!

I truly cannot recommend Avenue 42 enough for all of your wedding hair and makeup dreams!!

Love my hair & makeup team!

Ave 42 made it so seamless and easy to get 13 people ready for our wedding day. I had the pleasure of working with Becky for hair and Jesika for makeup. The trial wasn't stressful and they took many pictures to recreate it on the big day. I actually showed up to getting ready a few minutes late and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were already 100% set up and ready to start working. I am so grateful to them and would recommend to anyone!
