    Amazing start to finish

    Jessica and her team we THE BEST!!! Honestly could not have asked for a better hair and make up team for our wedding! These ladies did their research, made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. I looked for someone who could do it all, as my wedding party had ALL skin tones, hair types and comfort levels. If you are looking for someone who can do it all, for all ethnicities, you found them! They went ABOVE AND BEYOND! My wedding dress ripped 10 minutes before I was supposed to be out the door, and the girls actually sewed me into my dress! It held up all night and I had to be cut out at 2am. One of the bridesmaids had an unexpected big bruise on her arm, which they covered no problem! The flower girl was jealous of the makeup we all got, so the girls gave her a little touch up! I honestly can not say anything bad. Jess and her team are flawless, GAWJESS, QUEENS! Do yourself a favor and hire her team for all your needs. You won’t regret it!

    The most talented team of hair and makeup artists!

    I had to sit and take my time with this review because I can't find a way to recommend Jess and her team at GetGawJess enough!

    2 years ago, I found Jess at a Bridal Expo at the Meadowlands and I immediately took down her information. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and the women that were at her booth were all very diverse- a top priority for me when looking to book hair and makeup for my wedding. When I got home later that night, I sent her an email and we had a FaceTime call. Throughout the entire process Jess was a fantastic communicator. That night we scheduled a trial for my hair and makeup and spray tan!

    My hair and makeup trial went great and they gave me exactly what my vision was. I thought I was an expert in my own skincare- I had a routine that I had been following for months getting ready for my wedding day. Jess pointed out some problems with my skin that I didn't even know existed because the makeup wasn't really sitting well on my face. She recommended a few products to add to my routine and my GOD! What a difference it made! By the time my wedding came around, my complexion was the best it ever looked. Having a skin care professional do your makeup will just be a nice added bonus when you book with GetGawJess.

    When it came to my wedding day, Jess brought in her whole team and my bridal party and I felt like celebrities! My bridesmaids and I are all vastly different- complexions, skin types, and hair textures. They NAILED every single look my girls asked for. From fine, to curly, to braids, they had an expert hairstylist for every single girl. The makeup was gorgeous and it looked even BETTER by the end of the night if you can imagine that. Not only was the hair and makeup on point, but Jess and her entire team were so kind and fun. They made everyone feel very special. They even gave my husband a little makeup touch up!

    Now, I have very fair skin and I burn in the sun. I was a little anxious about getting a spray tan because I didn't want to look orange or unnatural. We did my spray tan trial before my bachelorette weekend and I was absolutely glowing- I got compliments about it all week!!! Jess came to my house to do it, with a little tent and her tanning kit. I opted to do it completely in the nude but you can wear bottoms if you're not comfortable with that - however, Jess made me feel so comfortable that I legitimately forgot I was naked!! The spray tan for my wedding was even better! I had a lot of skin showing in my dresses and it was a flawless finish.

    From start to finish my experience with GetGawJess has been incredible. If you are searching for a knowledgable, professional, and diverse hair and makeup team, I urge you to book with them. Thanks again Jess and team!!

    Fabulous Experience with Jessica & Team!

    I had a wonderful experience working with Jessica and her team. During my search for a makeup and hair team, I was concerned because of my large bridal party (8 bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, Grandmother, & myself). More specifically, I was worried that we would not be done on time. However, from our initial conversation, Jessica put me at ease. She assured me that she worked with talented and professional artists and as the wedding approached, she worked closely with me to develop a schedule that would ensure that we would be done on time. The day of my wedding, Jessica’s team arrived at my hotel room promptly and their talent superseded my expectations. We all looked FABULOUS! I highly recommend GetGawJess, especially if you have a huge wedding party like I did. Rest assured that you will have one less thing to worry about while wedding planning and on that special day.

    Thank you so much GetGawJess! You rock!

    Fabulous Job

    Jessica and her team are amazing. She did my make up for both my bridal shower and wedding. My hair and make up looked great. Never felt more beautiful, they also did an awesome job on my bridal party. They were professional, listened to what we wanted, and made the experience fun. Would definitely recommend Jessica and I would hire her again for another event.

    Better Than Expected

    Jess and Sabrina were such a great team! They are of course amazingly talented but also fun to hang out with. They made my vision come to life, all while keeping me calm and distracted from my pre-wedding nerves. Getting quality time with my mom and them was one of my favorite parts of the wedding weekend.

    GetGawJess w/ Jess!!



    I was sent Jessica’s IG and immediately fell in love with her work. Jessica and her team are extremely professional, so down to earth and knew my vision for my bridal party and myself. Our makeup & hair lasted a warm May Day all through the night!!

    Jessica and her team were very professional due to COVID guidelines, made sure everything was sanitary & was very patient that day. It felt like we all knew each other for a long time as soon as we met. The chemistry she had with me as well as my bridal party was just amazing.

    My bridesmaids all have different skin types and hair styles and they all worked efficiently making all of us look stunning. I also want to thank Stacey for covering up one of my bridesmaids tattoo’s for my day.

    Jessica & her team were fantastic, highly talented and hilarious to be around. I’m glad they were there to be a part of my special day. I definitely recommend her for events and will use her services in the future! Love you guys

    Perfection!!!!!

    I found Jessica through social media. I was looking for a team that would work with all of my ladies' different hair and skin tone. Like many other couples, covid-19 led us to postponed our original plans. Love always wins! & we decided to do a small backyard wedding. Jessica and Sabrina came to my home for the trial and the day of my wedding. They 100% took all the precautions and safety measures. I shared Pinterest looks with them, and they executed my vision on the first try.
    I am looking forward to continuing to work with Jessica and her team. I can't wait for all my bridesmaids to get GawJess.

    You will look GawJess all day/night long!

    I have been wanting to book Jess for a while, and with my wedding being "canceled" due to COVID, it was putting another delay, but thankfully we decided to do something small, and in less than 15 days notice, my wish came true. My mom and I LOVED the look she gave us. She was on-time, professional, prepared and she just knows what to do. Our makeup looked flawless and stayed on all night. I did not have to reapply or fix anything. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for future events.

    Wedding nov 10,2019

    Jess and her team are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I had previously used her for my bridal shower and just knew I had to work with her again. Her energy is great, her girls are also great! I loved that they were on time and super easy to work with. I am extremely glad that each person from my bridal party felt comfortable with them and they really knew what to do with each persons hair texture and length. I also loved that we each received tips about best makeup products depending on our skin types. :) I would definitely recommend using her and her team for any occasion needed and pricing was extremely reasonable. Thank you and your team for such a great job!

    Gawjess makeup!

    They were amazing! Easy to work with, fun and professional. My makeup was everything! I have very straight hair so it's always hard to get my hair like I want it. But Sabrina did a great job. I would highly recommend these ladies!

    What a pleasure to work with!

    I hired Sabrina to do hairstyling for four family members (our moms and sisters). She not only did an incredible job achieving each individual's desired look, but also made the whole process enjoyable for everyone with her beautiful personality. She's an absolute gem!

    I am so delighted I chose these ladies for my day! From the initial conversations, make up trial, and my big day these ladies were amazing! For my make up trial, Jessica (make up artist) and Erica (hairstylist) arrived promptly and took their time to hear what we wanted. I booked them for my wedding day by the end of the trial! THAT'S how much I loved my look, my mother's and maid of honor.
    The makeup and hair lasted for hours!!! Airbrush was fantastic! They are true professionals and they really enhance your beauty! This is one of the most important components in a wedding, especially for a bride. I made one of the best decisions to go with Ayari Brides!!

    It has been a pleasure to work with Jess, Erika and their team. Jess was prompt at answering any questions that I had through text or email. First of all, the fact that they come to you for trail is awesome in itself. I showed them the look I was looking for and loved the turnout. The day of the wedding Jess and her team came right on schedule, set up and got right to work. She had coordinated a total of 3 makeup artist and 3 hair stylist to accommodate 10 ladies and a flower girl working with a 4 hour time slot. The ladies were fun, professional and lastly we all looked beautiful! I would highly recommend Ayari’s Brides. Thank you again!

    Ayari brides makeup & hair services are amazing! They really listened and they figured out what I wanted cause I have zero knowledge when it comes to bridal hair and makeup. The trial was awesome cause they made me very comfortable and we played with my hair until I picked what I thought looked great. And for makeup I just said I want the jLo look and I got it and it was beautiful. I highly recommended them.

    I got married in November and am so happy that I booked Ayari's Brides for my hair and makeup. Ayari did my makeup and Erica did my hair - my look was perfect and exactly what I wanted! I felt like they truly listened to me and took into account what I wanted, and made my vision come to life perfectly. I felt beautiful all night dancing the night away! Ayari, Erica, Yashira and Candy all did beautiful hair and makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, and bridal party, and everyone was thrilled with their looks. They were all fun to work with and made us all super comfortable. I would recommend them to any bride. Thank you ladies!!

    If I can give them a thousand stars I would. Ayari bridals was one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. I was in contact with them a little over a year before my wedding and they were quick to respond to all of my emails. Plus their prices are very good for everything that you are getting. I decided to book them with one of the packages since I gifted my bridesmaid their hair and make up. Ayari bridal were amazing!!!. Prior to meeting them I sent pictures of hair ideas as well as my hair length and they advised me to purchase clip on extensions and to bring it to the trial. I remember meeting Jessica and Erica after several attempts for the trail and they tried their best to accommodate my schedule the hair and makeup trail went by smoothly and I felt totally comfortable talking to them and working with them. During the trial Jessica advised me to exfoliate my face twice a week and then reduce to once a week to removed any dead skin and also to prevent for the makeup to become cake-y on the day of the wedding and of course I headed to her advice and the day of the wedding my makeup went on smoothly. The day of the wedding, they were very punctual, arrived to the hotel on time with all of their team (when I saw them with their Ayari shirt and suit cases I felt like royalty and also the reality that I am a bride started to sink in). They finished everyone's hair and makeup on time and were just amazing. My wedding party consisted of myself, 7 bridesmaid, my mother, grandmother, and the flower girl. They even accommodated some last minute additions. I love Ayari bridal and I would recommend them to everyone they are professional, reliable and experts in their craft, I hope to hire them again soon for future events.

    I can’t say enough positive things about Ayari and her team. From the trial to the day of the wedding she was always there to answer questions and I felt comfortable with her and her team. They listened to my requests and were punctual and professional. I loved the look she and Sabrina gave me for my wedding, as well as my mother and maid of honor. We all looked beautiful and had a great time. I highly recommend Ayari and her team!

    I loved the service The Ayari Bride Team provided for me, flower girls, my mother (mob), other bridesmaids and the Bride, my sister. They were punctual and left when everyone was completely done, regardless of their earlier tentative finishing time. They took their time doing our hair and make up and made sure we were happy with our results. I highly recommend The Ayari Brides Team, they have experience with many types of faces and many hair textures. Everyone complimented us and were not shy in telling us how beautiful our hair and make up was.

    Vanessa, Erica and Ayari were amazing with the 3 little flower girls!

    My mother looked amazing for her last daughters wedding and for that I'll be eternally thankful.

    I would highly recommend the trio of Ayari, Vanessa and Erica. As I am the mother of 2 young girls (flower girls) I was pleased to see they have experience with children. The trio responded well to feedback and suggested great styles to my girls. They were professional but, very personal which made for a pleasant experience in a tight hotel room. The makeup was flawless and lasted hours into the night. The hair was done meticulously and when there were variations in styles the trio were adaptable. I highly recommend brides and bridesmaids to hire this team. Lastly the ambience was pleasant as they brought their own music.

    We got married last december in NYC. I heard about Ayari with my wedding planner Amandine Taravellier. Coming from France, I visited Ayari's website and I decided to trust her and her team. She came with Sabrina to our hotel for my wedding make up and hairstyling. Their work was absolutely amazing. They immediately understood what I wanted. I would recommand them to everyone !!! Thank you again for your professionalism and kindness

    My wedding was 11/12/16 and I was extremely happy with the results delivered by Ayari on makeup and Sabrina on hair. Everyone's hair and makeup was just as they envisioned if not better than we could have imagined! This dynamic duo worked on every detail very diligently and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to look and feel glamorous on their special day!!
