    Felt beautiful on my big day

    I couldn't have been happier with Liz and Lei from 217 Beauty for my wedding. Liz, who runs 217 Beauty, was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. Lei did an amazing job with my hair, and Liz made my makeup look absolutely stunning—I received compliments all night long! They made me feel beautiful and confident on my big day. I highly recommend 217 Beauty for anyone looking for talented, professional, and friendly hair and makeup artists!

    I hope you know how honored I felt to be a part of your big day! You and your party were so amazing to work with. Thank you for this beautiful review, and I hope these next chapters are the absolute best ones to come! Congratulations!

    Talented and an amazing Artist

    Liz and her team are true talented artists. Their time management is impeccable. She definitely brought to life what I envision to look on my wedding day. I definitely recommend them!!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much Ana. As you know, I was super excited to work with you. We might not see each other often but you will always have a special place in my heart! I hope it was everything you dreamed of! xoxo

    The least stressful part of my wedding planning & day

    I had so much trouble finding make up and hair for my wedding day since I didn’t have a bridal party. Thankfully I found Liz! Liz and her team made for a super stress free morning for me, made me feel insanely beautiful and listened to requests I had as someone who doesn’t wear make up or get very fancy. I could not recommend her enough! Book Liz, you will not regret it!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    I appreciate this so much. You were the sweetest person, and I hope that you and Silver enjoy this beautiful new chapter!

    They made me and my entire bridal party look and feel beautiful.

    Seriously thank you so much.

    The perfect day

    Liz and Lilliana were both professional and did our hair and Make up beautifully. Very accommodating, knowledgeable and was overall fun to be around especially to calm the nerves. So happy they were able to break my vision to life on my wedding day.

    Professional team!

    I hired 217 for my bridal party of about 10-12 ladies including MOB & MOG. The Team was on-time and proficient. My ladies were of various skin tones and hair textures, I was nervous about how things will turn out but the team did great! All my ladies looked fabulous! They were also able to create the hair styles I wanted for them. I would def hire 217. Liz also was very responsive throughout the time.

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much Weas!! I appreciate you placing your trust in us. We all had a great time working with your crew!

    Liz is Amazing!

    Liz and her team did an absolute phenomenal job for hair and makeup on my wedding date 8/17/23! Liz is an absolute sweetheart to work with, and made me feel so comfortable from even the first time I contacted her over two years ago. She made me feel like family and her talent is impeccable! I’ve never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and it’s all thanks to Liz. Shout out to the rest of her team who helped on my actual wedding day: Leliani, Gabby & Jasmine- thank you girls so much for creating the most beautiful hair styles & makeup for myself, my bridal party and the Moms ❤️. Our makeup stayed in place for the whole day (and there were so much tears!) and the hair styles were absolutely beautiful! If you are a New Jersey Bride, know your wedding hair/makeup is in the best hands if you book with Liz and her 217Beauty team!! So much love to you Liz! 🥰

    217 Beauty's reply:

    You are the sweetest thing ever! I hope you had an awesome wedding. I am so excited to see photos. Beautiful souls like you are literally why I keep going in this business. You, your party and the moms were the absolute sweetest things ever. I hope I get to work with you again, and thank you so much for such an awesome review! xoxo

    Amazing Experience!

    I went with 217 Beauty for my hair and makeup for one of my wedding festivities and I was sooooooo happy with my decision! I loved the looks and love how hair/makeup came out for my sister, mom, sister in law and mother in law as well and they were so happy with the looks, too! They were recommended to me from a friend but they won me over at the trial… not only were they super good at what they did, but listened to what I wanted and helped me figure out what would be best for my looks. Also LOVED the vibe and good energy and definitely loved it even more the actual day of the wedding festivities! Hoping I get to work with them again for someone else’s wedding in the future!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    How sweet!!! Thank you so much for the beautiful review. These photos are amazing. We enjoyed working with you just as much. I also hope we get the chance to pamper you again. Xoxo

    217 for hair and makeup

    Liz and her team were so pleasant to work with! They were super kind and calming which is so important the morning of your wedding. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much! We know how stressful the day can be and we always hope to help rather than add stress. We hope you had the best wedding day!

    Amazing hair and make up!

    Leilani and the team did an amazing job. They arrived right on time, even considering the 2:30am start time, and did an excellent job. They were very professional and the price for the quality that you get was great! I highly recommend them. I used them for my personal bridal hair and make up as well as hair and make up for all 9 bridesmaids and for my mom. Everyone was happy with the results! Thanks 217 Beauty Team!

    My experience with 217 beauty was one of a kind…Liz is the most patient and kind artist I’ve worked with.

    I would 100% recommend 217 beauty to anyone who’s looking for a great experience for their makeup and hair service for any special occasion.

    Thank you so much Saskia! I felt so honored that we were able to work together so much! You and your party were so awesome to work with. I hope this past year was amazing!

    A Unique and Personalized Experience

    I have never been a fan to wear make up or do my hair too much. But for my wedding day, it was a given. They made the process so seamless and I felt extremely comfortable with the staff. If I had to do it all again, I would still choose them!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much Yekaterina. We are so happy we were able to make, what can be a stressful experience, a seamless one for you. We wish you all the best!

    Wedding Hair and Make-Up

    Liz is so professional and talented! She has done my make-up for so many events including my bridal shower and various pre-wedding events. It always looks great and I always feel my best! She really knows how to work with darker skin colors, which is hard to find! Leilani also did my bridemaid’s hair for my wedding and they all looked so elegant. Liz and her team are always reliable!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you so much for the beautiful review Neelam! I absolutely love working with you and I hope I have the opportunity to work with you again!

    Fantastic!

    Liz, the owner, was fantastic to work with, super responsive, and very talented! She and Isabele did an amazing job with my makeup and hair, respectively, and my mom and my bridesmaids loved their makeup and hair, too. They are both also very kind and great to work with. Liz did a fantastic job with my makeup and achieved the natural look I was going for, and I loved my wedding hair! I had been a little worried since I decided to change my hair significantly from the trial, but Liz and Isabele really instilled confidence. I was super happy with the results! Thanks, Liz and Isabele!

    Thank you!

    Liz and her team had done such amazing work with my cousin's and my sister's weddings, that when it was my turn to get married, she was the first person I reached out to see if she was available on my wedding day, and lucky for me, she was! Liz is honestly one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. There were so many times that I had to change things, and she never once complained, and always found a way to help me, which is something that I truly appreciate beyond words. Liz listened to exactly what I was looking for, and as I am someone who is not that comfortable with makeup, she offered her own recommendations. My makeup on the day of the wedding was flawless and I felt so beautiful! The makeup lasted the entire day and survived a night of dancing. You and your team did such an amazing job on everyone's hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids looked beyond gorgeous! Thank you Liz for keeping me calm and sane throughout this bridal journey, and for keeping me smiling on the morning of my wedding, it was such a pleasure to work with you!

    This is the sweetest review!!!! I had so much fun working with you. I hope I get to work with you again! xoxoxo

    Power Team!

    I had the pleasure of working with Liz and her team for my wedding that took place on 9-25-2021. The prices are very reasonable and I couldn’t have been happier with the final result! Isabelle and Gaby were able to accommodate us very early in the morning at our venue. They were so patient with us, listened to our requests, and were easy to talk to and work with. I really appreciated that Gaby respected my wishes of light/natural make-up and offered helpful suggestions in terms of what would work for me. Isabelle was able to easily recreate the hair look I had in mind and worked with the hair accessory I brought. It was such a wonderful day and to be able to feel beautiful and confident made it all the more special. My family and I were so happy with our looks. Thank you 217 Beauty!

    Wedding Makeup!

    I absolutely loved my wedding makeup! I don't tend to wear a lot of make up normally so I was nervous for my wedding because I didn't want to look too unnatural. Gabby did an amazing job! I wish she could do my makeup everyday! I wanted my eyes to pop but didn't want my face to look overly done and she nailed it. I would definitely recommend hiring them!

    Love, Love, Love!

    My BIL was getting married and I needed hair makeup on site for the events. I reached out to Liz based on a recommendation and I do not regret it all. I actually didn't even research anyone else because I loved talking to her and she seemed like the right fit for us! She worked with us through many changes due to COVID> She explained everything along the way and nothing was a surprise in terms of payment etc. The team was prompt to arrive and all of them were so good at their art. They listened to our needs and made sure they did makeup to match our south asian skin tones. One of us had a hair piece and they did great working with it and even made suggestions of additional hair pieces to use which was helpful. I cannot say enough good things about the team. Liz truly picked the best people to work for her and she is amazing at her art and running her company. Recommend to all brides!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    Thank you SO MUCH for all this love!!!! The team was so happy to work with you, and when I let them know how you raved about them, they were so happy to hear the feedback. We appreciate this SO MUCH!!! I hope we get to work together again in the future!

    Amazing!

    I feel like I am writing a review for my best friend at this point, because that is essentially what Liz became throughout my entire wedding process. I was looking for someone to do Indian bridal makeup and was having a very difficult time until my friend told me I HAVE to go to Liz Gizelle. Well, all my fellow brides, if you're looking for a makeup artist, you HAVE to go to Liz Gizelle. There is no one better. I was nervous at first because I thought a non-Indian may not be able to do Indian faces that well, but boy did Liz prove me wrong. She has a true talent and she is a true artist with the makeup brush. She made me look like a QUEEN. She was with me all week as I had an American ceremony, an Indian Sangeet night, and a big fat Indian ceremony and reception. She was there from start to finish at 3 AM big freaking smile on her face! We had a group of 24 girls getting makeup, including myself, and Liz and her team KILLED IT! Everyone was ready and looking stunning by 745 AM. All of them were so sweet and accommodating. I don't think I can ever get my face touched by anyone but Liz ever again! She made me feel so calm and special throughout my entire wedding process. She would text and tell me that I better stop stressing about makeup schedules because this is the time to start getting excited and she will handle everything! She constantly reminded me that it was my day and made me feel calm, beautiful, and adored! If you have any doubt in your mind, set up a trial with her ASAP, but I only did a trial for one out of 4 looks and she killed it with every single one! People are still messaging me about how beautiful I looked! Thank you Liz for making me feel the most beautiful I have EVER felt in my life!!!

    217 Beauty's reply:

    This is the absolute sweetest review ever! I think I ruined my mascara! I didn't get the memo to wear my waterproof stuff this morning! Lol. You, Brian, your family and friends were an absolute pleasure to work with, so much so, that you totally became more than just clients in my eyes. I am so sad I don't have work lined up for you already. I hope we get to work together often! CONGRATULATIONS again guys! Xoxoxo

    Best choice we ever made!

    Liz and the 217 beauty team literally made my wedding makeup dreams come true. Liz is not only incredibly talented at what she does, she is funny, accommodating, and just an all around awesome woman (who happens to look like JLo's twin ;))
    I had run into an issue with the initial makeup artist i had hired as they ghosted me 3 months before the wedding. I reached out to Liz and she got me in for a trial within a few days and we had signed the contract that very day! I was so impressed, and more than that, my MOTHER, who can be incredibly picky especially about her makeup, was blown away. Liz, we love you, thank you so very much for all you've done for us!!!

    Do yourself a favor and hire 217 Beauty!!!

    Wonderful hair and makeup

    Liz and her team did the hair & makeup for myself (bride), my mother and my 8 bridesmaids. My makeup stayed flawless all day and night, I can't thank Liz enough for giving me the look I wanted without going overboard or requiring much touch ups for the reception. Angela put my hair in an updo for the morning ceremony and came back to put my hair down and re-curl/style for the reception. She did such a wonderful job with both!! My bridal crew and I are very happy with the team at 217 Beauty- they are great!
