Loretta from Embellir Artistry was a pleasure to work with. She is professional , friendly and efficient.
She arrived at my house right on time for my make up and hairdo.
She listens to my needs and is very patient to make changes according to my liking.
She did a great job especially my make up. It lasted throught my entire engagement photo shoot.
I would definitely recommend Loretta for make up and hair services!

I first met Angela and her team at my friends wedding. She did an excellent job on all of the bridesmaids and the bride. I continued to book angela for all future events that i had attended and also booked her for my own wedding. I had a traditional pakistani/indian wedding and Angela did an amazing job to make me a beautiful bride. I cannot thank her enough for the effort she put into my wedding day. She and her team are professional and courteous. I couldnt have asked for a better make up/hair artist for my special day. Thanks so much Angela!!! You're the best!

Embellir Artistry did a wonderful job with my bridesmaids, mother-in-law and myself. Loretta was great to work with. She was flexible and her attention to detail with the make up and hair - made me feel absolutely comfortable and beautiful during my wedding day. Everything was what I expected, and the price was reasonable. Thank you again!

Loretta came to do my wedding make up and hair at my hotel. She arrived promptly and had clearly paid attention to the emails I had sent with ideas about my style. She was professional but also friendly and chatted easily with myself and my husband. She kept an eye on the time and was finished and tidied up by the agreed hour. My make up felt light and stayed on flawlessly all day and night. I loved my little bag of tricks to touch up my lipstick and re secure my hair but never needed to use it!
Thank you so much for your fantastic service!

Embellir Artistry was absolutely amazing! Loretta and Angela showed up on time and were set up in a flash, and ready to get started on me and my girls! They were so sweet, fast, efficient, and their work AMAZING! I had a hair & make-up trial with Loretta which I loved, but the day of look just blew me away! My make-up and hair lasted the entire day and I received so many compliments!
Loretta was always so patient answerig all of my questions and responded to all of my emails promptly.
If you are looking for hair & make-up services, stop looking! Embellir Artistry is the one!

I was recently a bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding where Loretta and Angela came to help us with our hair and make-up. They worked at a great pace but at the same time keep things comfortable for everyone.
I didn't know how I wanted to do my hair or make-up except that I knew I wanted to use red lipsick. Loretta and Angela were so helpful be giving me suggestions on how to do my hair and make-up so that it would complement the red lipstick and the look came out great.
Loretta also gave us tips on how to touch up the bride during the day as well as tips on how to avoid messing up our eye make-up if and when we felt the urge to shed a tear during the day and it worked!

My makeup was absolutely stunning. Angela from Embellir Artistry, was so the sweetest person to work with and she is extremely talented. She made my makeup and hair exactly the way I wanted it and it looked amazing. My family also had their hair and makeup done by Embellir Artistry and we are so happy we chose them.

I had such a great experience with Embellir Artistry!
There were some last minute changes to my schedule and they were able to accommodate to it without giving me a hard time. Within the time frame we had, they were able to get me and my 6 bridesmaids ready and beautiful.
Even though there were a total of 7 of us to work on, they did not rush through any of our make up or hair which we truly appreciated. They were very professional and took the time to ask each of us what type of look we wanted. When one of us felt that we wanted a retouch on our hair or make up, they did not fuss and did exactly what was needed to make each of us feel comfortable.
Even though they were very professional, the experience felt like it was just a group of close friends glamming each other up. They were really great and fun to work with. Our make up and hair lasted the entire day and we felt beautiful and confident through every second because of them.
If I had another big event coming up, I definitely would go back to them.

Loretta is beyond fabulous. I booked Loretta for both my wedding and engagement party. For my engagement party I wanted to go with a Glam rock look and gave her a general description of what I was looking for. When I finally looked in the mirror, it was exactly what I wanted! She gave me smokey dark eyes and an overall edgy look. For my wedding day I wanted the classic pin up girl look. She gave me a natural glow, all the while keeping my makeup light with the perfect color splash of red for my lips. She was an integral part of my big day because she made me feel even more beautiful and confident. And the pictures are proof of that!
Loretta is professional, punctual, patient and an absolute pleasure to be around. I booked Loretta for another event I am going to next month. I can't wait for the next look she'll be creating for me!

Angela is great. Unlike some make-up artist who always assume they know better, she will listen to you and what you want. She arrived exactly on time which is so important because some of my vendors didn't. I told her my schedule and I felt they adhered to it perfectly - very important on strict timeline of the wedding day. Angela even came to my house for a trial and brought some hair accessories which I liked so much and she agreed to sell them to me for an unbelievably cheap price. Overall, would recommend to all my friends getting married.

Loretta was a pleasure to deal with, she was professional, patient and is a truly amazing make-up artist! Â I'm the type of girl who doesn't put on make-up on a daily basis and when I do...it's only mascara and lip gloss because my Hub doesn't like girls with heavy make-up. So with that in mind, I was in search for a make-up artist who can help me achieve a very natural/simple look yet beautiful. Â I did a trial run with 2 other make-up artists before I came across Loretta. She did exactly what I wanted with my make-up and hair. Â I have small eyes with no double eyelid and thought I would look funny with eye shadows, but Loretta amazingly made my eyes bigger and sexier with her excellent make-up skills. Â The way she did my eye shadow and lashes were not overwhelming at all. Â Also, I have a tan complexion, so she recommended using air brush foundation to bring out my naturally tanned skin color. Â I was glowing, Hub was happy, make-up was perfect! Â She also did my hair, with extensions added ahead of time since my hair is short and I wanted my hair down. Â She carefully matched the extensions with the color of my hair, it came out to be very natural and full looking. She did my hair exactly what I had showed her on a magazine on my wedding day, I wish I can hire her as my hair stylist! Â I'm glad to have found Loretta to beautify me on my special day, would highly recommend her and would book her again in a heartbeat for special occasions. Â Thanks a million, Loretta!!!

I worked with Angela of Embellir Artistry for my wedding day. I don't have a regular hair person here in the city, but trusted the other reviews on this site and was not disappointed!
I went for a trial run about 2 months before the wedding date and was thrilled with the results and on the wedding day Angela worked tirelessly to make me, my bridesmaids, my mother, step-mother and mother-in-law look our absolute best.
The most important thing to me was that we had someone who would be able to do hair and/or make-up for 6 people and would travel to us on the day of the wedding. Angela was punctual and got straight to work in our hotel suite and even finished earlier than we thought we would.
I spent the day looking and feeling my best and I know that if you choose Embellir Artistry you will not be disappointed!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Angela of Embellir Artistry for anything hair and makeup related! After reading many positive reviews on several wedding sites, I contacted Angela and she was able to fit me in for a trial run that weekend, which was very important since I only had 4 weeks before the wedding.
My first impression was that she was very professional and had a good understanding of how to make each person look their best. She took my opinions and example photos into account, but was not afraid to assert her expert opinion as well. As a person who prefers a more natural look, my primary concern was looking overly made up. (If I had it my way, I would swipe on some mascara and be good to go for the wedding.) During the trial run, Angela encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone and try adding more colors so that the photographs would come out really well. And in the end, I’m really glad I took her advice because the end result was exactly what I was looking for – a natural look that accentuated all my features.
Overall, I couldn’t have been happier. The makeup and hair lasted all day long, Angela was prompt, skillful and professional and her services were in my price range.

Angela is exceptionally wonderful! She was punctual and did not at any point rush to do my make-up on my big day. She really made sure that my hair and make-up, and even my wedding veil was perfect. I had a last minute trial session and she was able to fit me just a few days before my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and worked together with me to achieve what she thought was best but bearing in mind the kind of looks I had wanted to achieve. She was friendly, funny and warm and her price is affordable especially since I was on a tight budget (as I have been on a long distance relationship for years with my husband), so affordability was very important. I have never worn eye-shadow or heavy make-up before, nor was I a fan of foundation and when she suggested using blue and purple shadow and airbrush foundation, I was a little nervous but even in broad daylight, everyone (including passer bys in the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan!) complimented how beautiful I looked and my friends were so complimentary of my make-up and how my skin was glowing in the photos. My make-up was not heavy and it looked so professionally done, not too much and my hair was impeccable! I love the way she did my hair with lovely romantic curls! The airbrush foundation felt airy and light on my skin. I just wish I could hire her every weekend to do my hair and make-up!!! I would recommend her wholeheartedly and you should really give Angela a call if you are thinking of good, reliable, affordable and professional make-up artist. You won't regret it! I certainly didn't! You rock Angela!!!!!!!!

We had Embellir Artistry for our Hair and Makeup on the Big Day. And they did not disappoint! Loretta and Angela were terrific throughout the process from day 1 of booking them through the final hours of getting ready for the ceremony. They provided great service and professionalism for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. They made me look and feel beautiful. What more can a bride as for!

Angela was awesome! She worked on me (bride), my mother, my sister and 2 bridesmaids. I was a little bit worrited about the timing of the day, since we all had to be ready by 1:30. She arrived promptly at 8 am and worked throughout the morning to make sure we were all ready on time. She was professional and did an amazing job on all of us.

Loretta was excellent. She did an excellent job on my make up and everyone was so impressed with the great job she did. I would definately use Embellir Artistry to do my make up and/or hair for another occasion and would highly refer them to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist as well as stylist.

Angela, was amazing. She made me look like a Princess. People are still commenting me on how beauiful my hair and make up was. Not only did she do my hair and make up but she did my whole wedding party. She was very flexible as far as payment went which made it easy to work with.
