Mel was amazing. She was a very professional and personable at the same time. She listened to my thoughts and opinions and produced a near exact version of the hair style and makeup I showed her. Mel was willing to adjust my makeup to the desired amount and it was perfect. I would highly recommend her for your wedding hair and makeup.

Picture Perfect!
Mel is simply amazing! I never wear makeup so I was very skeptical about hiring a makeup artist for my wedding day. Mel did an incredible job both on my makeup and my hair- it was absolutely perfect!
Thank you so much, Mel! You are truly an incredible artist!!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Thank you so much, Bobbie! It was such a pleasure working with you. Your look was so elegant and chic very much like your natural beauty. I truly wish you the best! Thank you for putting your trust in me. -

Amazing, last minute change to hairstyle
Mel is incredible! We had unexpected rain on my wedding day, so we had to last minute change my planned hairstyle. Mel was calm and walked through the options with me. My hair turned out even more beautiful than I imagined it! She is so talented, showed up early, and overall just amazing at doing hair! I would recommend her to every bride!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Emily, you are such a sweet soul! You were so gracious and easy going. Thank you for trusting me. You looked amazing! I’m so honored to be a part of your journey watching you go from marriage to motherhood! I’m so happy for you! Thanks again. -

After a horrible trial experience where I told my mom ‘if I look like this on my wedding day, I won’t be making it down the aisle’, I was fearful that I wouldn’t find someone to do my hair and makeup….and then I met Mel! She nailed the look I wanted for my welcome dinner and then made me look absolutely stunning on my wedding day. People see my photos and say ‘wow you are glowing’ and I’m like ‘yeah, that’s good makeup!’. Honestly, you need someone down to earth and low key on the most stressful day of your life and Mel is that and more!!!!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
I had so much fun getting to know you and spending time with you and your family. You are real and colorful and creative! Your wedding was stunning!!
Getting you ready was such a joy. I am such a fan of you and Jimmy! You’re made for each other! Congratulations and thank you for giving me the opportunity to make your vision come to life! -

Marge Sent on 07/30/2021Best Hair Stylist/Makeup Artist Ever!
The most amazing hair stylist and makeup artist! From the moment I met Melissa, we immediately connected! Not only is she friendly and easy to talk to, but she is professional and experienced. She walked me through hair recommendations because I know nothing about choosing the right hair extensions. I showed her a semi-messy mermaid braid look during our trial and Melissa made my hair look even better! It turned out so intricate and delicate on the day of, perfect for the Florida humidity. I wore hair extensions for the first time, and it was so comfortable, I did not even notice it! For my makeup, I was unsure what I wanted exactly except I knew I was going for a more natural, beach vibe and Melissa worked her magic! She knew exactly how to accentuate and enhance my natural features instead of making me look like someone else! I was blown away by how beautiful she made me look and feel that day! She also did hair and makeup for 3 of my girls and my goodness, do they look gorgeous! Melissa knows how to do many different types of hairstyles and makeup looks. One of the ladies in our bridal party was unable to arrive early in the morning with everyone else, but Melissa stayed for as long as we needed her. We are from out of town and our hair reacted differently to the Florida heat, so Melissa offered a different hairspray for my husband to use on the day as well. She really does go above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her. Everyone complimented Melissa on her hair/makeup expertise as well as her sweet personality. It was so fun to have Melissa celebrate with us on our special day! It was truly an honor and we highly recommend Melissa for all your hair and makeup needs before and during the wedding!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
My sweet Marjorie! Through all the changes and the pandemic, you were graceful and flexible and so EASY! Thank you for your kindness and generosity and for this amazing review. You are truly one of my favorite brides of all time! ❤️ -

Erin S. Sent on 07/09/2021My Maid of Honor!
Not only did Mel make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day by doing my hair & makeup, she was my maid of honor! My husband and I decided to get married in the Keys, just the two of us, and I didn’t think about how much I would need someone else there! We had so much fun singing, chatting and laughing - I felt like I had known Mel forever! She even helped me get dressed and zipped me up! I can’t imagine having had anyone else there on our special day. Thank you Mel!!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Thank you so much Erin! Sometimes things just click and magic happens! The vibe was so awesome! I am honored to have filled in. I had a beautiful day with you!
-Always your Maid of Honor, Mel -

The best experience with my maid of honor for the day ❤️
I was a covid bride, with my wedding originally planned for May of 2020, so we all know how that worked out :). I had rescheduled my wedding here in MA but quickly realized the wedding we wanted was not going to happen. We did not want to keep postponing so we decided to elope and do a “weddingmoon” at the Bungalows in Key Largo where our honeymoon had been scheduled. First things first, hair and make up! A google search led me to Beauty and the Beach Artistry in the Florida Keys. I called Melissa and felt an instant connection to her on the phone. I booked her right away and felt relieved to check that box. As time went on, I realized that it was just going to be my husband to me and me, and therefore I would be getting ready alone. Who would button my dress? Who would have mimosas with me? Who would strap my shoes on? I let Melissa know how I felt and she said, “me! I am your maid of honor for the day!”. All my anxiety of not having my mom, sister, and best friends by my side on my wedding day went away as soon as Melissa showed up to my door on September 9, 2020. She texted me early in the morning to make sure I ate, she brought us mimosas, and we immediately clicked to a friendship and even sisterhood I won’t forget. She even helped my husband with his boutinerre! My hair and make up came out perfect, despite the 96 degree heat and humidity. After our ceremony, which Melissa graciously watched and videoed for my family back home on my phone, Melissa put my hair up as I quickly realized I wasn’t going to last with my hair down on our post wedding boat ride! Even quickly and unplanned changing my hair, it looked so good and exactly what I would have asked for if planned. That day we told stories, had laughs, and really got to know each other. As much as I would have loved a get ready day with my loved ones as a bride, Mel made me feel like a best friend, and all the sadness I had about not having a “normal” wedding due to covid rules went away. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making my day so special. And now we are friends to this day :). I can’t recommend Melissa enough, whether you elope or have her glam your whole bridal party, she is the BEST!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Stephanie, I often have to pinch myself because I can’t believe this is my job. You were the sweetest bride to be. I had such a special time getting to know you and sharing those intimate moments before you married your bestie. I am so blessed to have been your “made of honor for the day” and and even more lucky that now I get to call you my friend. Love you 😘 -

Thank you! Amazing job
Mel did an amazing job on my hair for the wedding. She was super down to earth and fun to talk to. She made me feel calm and collected on such a crazy day. She did exactly what I envisioned for my hair - better than I envisioned. Everyone also loved the makeup job she did for me. I am super happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone. I am so glad I picked her to do my hair and makeup.Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Hi Taylor! It was such a pleasure to meet you, your family, and best friend. I am so proud of you and your commitment to your faith and your future. You’re truly a special person. I wish you both the best that life has to offer. Say hello to your mom for me! -

Jessica Sent on 03/28/2020The best in the business hands down
I had two trials from other venders prior to finding Beauty & The Beach. It wasn’t until I found Mel that I felt like a bride. She made me feel amazing and so confident in my own skin. OMG I seriously can’t say enough about them. They made my entire bridal party feel like a million dollars. Mel’s skill, kindness and sweet personality is the best. I don’t ever really wear makeup of do my hair lol she gave me all the confidence I needed to walk down the isle. I’ll be using her for ANY event I have from now on.Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Thanks, Jessica! You looked like a vintage beauty! Your family and friends made my day. Even your pup was adorable!! I’m looking forward to the next time! -

Samantha Sent on 12/17/2019Amazing experience!
I booked Beauty and the Beach for my destination wedding and I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Mel!
Booking a destination wedding I knew I would not be able to have a trial before the day but Mel was responsive and the pre-event communication took away all my worries.
On the day of both she and make-up artist Lex were so great!
Having not done a trial Mel was able to give everyone the hair style they wanted based on pictures and even was willing to make some last minute changes to make sure everything was perfect.
Hair/make-up can be on of the more stressful parts of the day but both of their attention to detail, listening to each member of the bridal party, and their positive energy really made for the perfect morning. They both made sure everyone looked and felt their best!
Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Thank you for your kind words! I had such a great experience leading up to the wedding. You were so easy going and easy to work with. We had so much fun with your family! You were the most beautiful bride! It was such a pleasure getting to spend your wedding day with you. -

Mel was extremely responsive, polite and professional. She is fabulous! She was a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible with all our last minute changes. Her laid back approach was perfect for our room full of girls and made us feel like we had been friends for life. She did an amazing job on my hair and make-up; she turned me into a princess.

Amanda L. Sent on 02/22/2020Mel and her team are great!!
Mel and her team handled hair and makeup for my wedding for me and 4 bridesmaids. She also did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal party. I have A LOT of hair (waist-length and thick) and she did an amazing up/down curl look for the rehearsal party and a part up/part down for the wedding day and I got constant compliments on both. The girls all LOVED the way their hair turned out and all of the make up looks. She was great at listening to everyone and giving them what they were asking for and also knowing what worked best in the Florida humidity. She was also super responsive in the planning/scheduling stages which took a lot of stress out of the process. Her prices were very reasonable and I highly recommend her!!Beauty & The Beach's reply:
This is my third attempt at posting this so hopefully this one will stick!
Thank you so much, Amanda! You and your bridal party were such an great group of girls. You looked so gorgeous for your pre-nuptial pool party and even more stunning on your wedding day! We had such a fun time with you guys! P.S. Thank you for your thoughtful gifts! -

Stunning and flawless
Mel did such a beautiful job on my hair for my wedding day. She also did my sisters (maid of honor) hair as well and she was very pleased. It was pretty windy but it held up perfectly and flawless. I had so many compliments on both my hair and makeup. Alissa did my makeup and it was exactly what I wanted and so stunning. These ladies love what they do and are incredible at it.Beauty & The Beach's reply:
Thank you Krystle! I am so happy we were able to create a style that you loved but more importantly, the help up in this unpredictable Florida weather. That was by far one of the windiest days of the year! You were so gorgeous!
Thanks for being such a supportive client. -
