    Wedding 2.0 💍

    Alyssa was great when I first met her for my hair and make up trial! I wanted something simple and easy, Alyssa did just that !
    Alyssa did a fantastic job on everyone’s hair and makeup ☺️ She was always asking how did the make up feel or was the hair being done too tight or loose. She made sure we were ready for the big day ! 💍 I would highly recommend her again for an event for us or anyone !

    Professional and personal

    Alyssa was absolutely fantastic with my hair and makeup for my wedding day! Alyssa has a very warm and kind personality, you can comfortably talk about anything with her while she works her magic on you! My hair is naturally extremely flat and straight and I always struggle to get my hair to hold a curl whenever I try to do it myself, so I knew I wanted a professional to do it for my wedding day. Alyssa easily meets those expectations of professionality with her skills in makeup and hair. While my makeup trial went very well, my hair trial was a little more difficult (naturally, lol), but Alyssa was very professional and supportive of making my hair vision come true for my wedding day by going above and beyond with doing her own personal research on products that would help my straight hair hold a curl without damaging it with heat! The products she used held my hair so well throughout the hot summer day and dancing, and I was fully able to be present on my wedding day and have lots of fun! I didn't have to worry about my curls falling out and my makeup sweating off at all. Alyssa and her assistant worked super quickly on my bridal party but didn't rush their work and we were done ahead of schedule! My bridesmaids and mom were all saying how pretty they felt, and I felt like the most beautiful person alive! Alyssa and her services are worth every cent, I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who asks!

    Best hair and make-up!!!

    Alyssa was FANTASTIC! Her studio is gorgeous and so fun to have my hair and make-up trial at. She was super responsive to what I liked and what I wished to change, taking notes then following up with me right after the trial and then along the way up to the wedding. She even let some of my bridal party have trials which was super lovely of her. On the day, we had some schedule changes and Alyssa was super flexible, rolling with the changes, and making me so relaxed and at ease. I felt incredibly pampered on my wedding day, and my hair and makeup have NEVER looked that good. She is a true artist and helped me feel absolutely stunning on my special day.

    Simply the best

    I booked wedding hair and makeup for my bridal party and for me with Alyssa, and I had the BEST experience working with her. I was planning a Hartford wedding from out of town, and her website caught my eye - I loved her vibe immediately. Every step of the way, Alyssa made everything easy and made me so comfortable. The morning of the wedding, Alyssa did everyone’s hair and coordinated with another artist (shoutout to Sara Thompson), who did everyone’s makeup. Everyone looked INCREDIBLE, and I felt so beautiful. I recommend Alyssa 100% for her wonderful work and the awesome energy she brings.

    I would choose her again a million times!

    There are so many moving parts to a wedding. So many decisions, and so many choices. But let me just take one decision off your plate. Alyssa is EVERYTHING you need on your wedding day. Her communication is outstanding. My contract was straight forward but informative (I love a contract because it feels safer). But truly I had not doubt I could rely on her. She reached out the week before and sent directions for hair prep for the ladies and I. She arrived at the hotel at the crack ass of dawn and was ready to go. My room was small and cramped but she didn’t skip a beat. She was positive and supportive but kept us on a schedule. She gave super helpful feedback to my mom whose hair does not hold a curl, and we had a very humid day. My mom ended up going with Alyssa’s suggestion and her hair looked amazing all night long! She was thrilled. When I tell you that Alyssa did not settle for anything less than perfection on my hair… this girl must have tried at least 2 or 3 different sized barrels for my curls to make sure they were just right. Did I mention she did 9 people’s hair that day? She did not even seem remotely stressed. 100000% would recommend Alyssa for your wedding day hair needs and I’m sure you’ll also love her salon if you go for a trial or a haircut/color.

    Amazing Artist! Knowledgeable and Talented!

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with an exceptional bridal hair artist, Alyssa, for my special day, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing, and I can't thank her enough for making me and my bridesmaids look amazing!

    Alyssa's talent and expertise were evident right from the beginning. She took the time to sit down with me to understand my vision and preferences, and she offered valuable suggestions that complemented my dress and overall theme. Her attention to detail and creativity truly made my dream bridal hairstyle come to life - it was even better than I had imagined!

    Not only did she work wonders on my hair, but she also flawlessly styled my bridesmaids' hair, mother's hair, and in-law's hair, each unique and tailored to suit their preferences. The result was a cohesive yet diverse look that perfectly complemented the overall wedding vibe. I appreciated her ability to work with different hair types and lengths, creating stunning looks for each member of the bridal party.

    Aside from her exceptional skills, she had a calming and reassuring presence that helped ease any pre-wedding jitters. On the big day, she arrived punctually and remained professional throughout the entire process. Her warm and friendly demeanor made the getting-ready experience even more enjoyable, and we shared lots of laughter and smiles.

    Overall, I cannot recommend this bridal hair artist enough. Her passion for her craft, talent, and wonderful personality make her an absolute delight to work with. If you want a hairstylist who will exceed your expectations and ensure you and your bridesmaids look and feel absolutely gorgeous, then she is the one for you.

    Thank you, Born&Bred, for being a crucial part of my wedding day and for making it all the more special. You truly are a hair magician, and I am forever grateful for your exceptional work!

    Alyssa is a makeup genius!

    When I was looking for a wedding makeup artist, I was fortunate enough to be referred to Alyssa through my hairstylist. Alyssa was so responsive and so kind from the very first email. I wear very little makeup in my daily life, usually just some concealer and foundation. So when I told Alyssa that I wanted a very natural, minimal makeup look at my first trial, we quickly discovered that my idea of minimal did not jive with normal bridal makeup. I told Alyssa about my concerns and she brought me in for a second trial where she promptly nailed my desired look. On the day of my wedding, she somehow made it even better. Not only that, but she made my mom and bridesmaids look gorgeous as well, in all their various skin tones and requested looks. She is also just plain fun to have around. She has a great sense of humor (and taste in music too!) and is so friendly and perceptive that you can't help but feel comfortable. I have never looked so beautiful in my life as I looked on my wedding day, and I could not be more grateful to Alyssa for making it possible!

    One of the best wedding planning decisions I made!

    Alyssa was PHENOMENAL to work with! If you’re even considering reaching out to her, just do it. She did my hair and my whole bridal party’s and mom’s hair and everyone was so happy with how it turned out! My maid of honor later came up to me and told me she had never felt so beautiful. From the moment I met Alyssa for my bridal trial, I knew I had made the right decision. She’s not only fantastic at her job, she’s incredibly personable and immediately puts you at ease. I left my bridal trial and (after taking about 100 pictures of my hair in the bathroom of her studio’s building and then staring in awe at them) told anyone who would listen that even though the wedding process can be stressful I was SO happy to know I couldn’t have made a better choice with my hair and makeup artist. Alyssa brought another artist to do our makeup due to the number of people and they both worked so seamlessly the morning of the wedding. They had a perfect balance of not stepping on toes or appearing intrusive while also expertly reading a room and sparking fun conversations and creating a lighthearted environment in situations that could’ve have been stressful. So, I’ll say one last time- yes, you should hire Alyssa. Just do it.

    Alyssa is Awesome!

    Alyssa did my hair and makeup for my wedding earlier this month and I could not have been happier!! She was always quick to respond to my emails, flexible to my needs, and just fun and cool to hang out with. The trial was really great, she understood exactly what I wanted and was clear about making sure I was happy with everything (plus her space is just super cool). On the big day, she arrived right on time and made everyone’s hair look beautiful. Everyone was really happy, got lots of compliments, and I was even told that I did a great job finding her. Alyssa did my hair and makeup (she brought another makeup artist for everyone’s makeup) and everything was exactly as planned! Not only is she a great artist, but she was a calming presence when everything else felt chaotic. I cannot recommend Alyssa enough, I only hope I have another reason to get professional hair/makeup so I can work with her again!

    Incredible

    Wow, how can I even find the words to describe how incredible Alyssa is. Not only is her talent with hair and makeup unrivaled, but her calm and steady energy in a room full hyped up humans getting ready for a wedding is incredible. I have never felt as beautiful as I did when I was done in Alyssa's chair. She is a treasure.

    Love Alyssa!

    Alyssa did makeup for me and my 5-person wedding party and was absolutely wonderful to work with. Everyone looked natural but perfected, which is exactly what I was going for. She was very professional and organized – a rare find in a wedding vendor! – but also just a joy to hang out with while we all got ready. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful wedding beauty services for two brides!

    We LOVED working with Alyssa for our wedding beauty services. Being two brides with a big bridal party seemed to be no challenge at all. From our first communication/signing the contract to trial day to the big day - Alyssa was on it. Patient and receptive to all of our changing wants for our bridal looks and a pleasure to have on site, would not hesitate to rec or work with again. We also just loved the Born & Bred studio!

    Book her! Book her now :)

    Alyssa is amazing. She was an absolute gem. I got married in the morning and she let me come to her studio at 6:30 in the morning!! She did a great job and my hair lasted through the whole day. On top of all that she has an amazing personality that helps to make you feel chill. Book her! You won't regret it!

    Makeup artist

    Alyssa was amazing to work with. I don’t wear makeup on a normal basis, she was so helpful in guiding me through the process and giving me the natural look I wanted. She was friendly, easy to work with and super responsive to my needs. I would recommend her weddings!

    Alyssa is the best EVER!

    Alyssa is and was such a dream to work with for my wedding. She communicated with me from beginning to end and even followed up to see how the wedding went. She listened to my requests for a natural look and made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. She checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was happy and comfortable, and even worked with my maid of honor to show her how to remove my veil later on. My husband was in awe of her work, and kept staring at me all day saying "Wow she did such a great job!". Her work reflected in all of my photos, and I received many compliments. Alyssa is so golden hearted, caring, and passionate and it shines through in her work. I was so lucky to have her with me that day to make me feel like a beautiful bride. She is the absolute best!

    Cannot say enough good things!

    Alyssa is very professional and has a great deal of experience. She makes you feel very comfortable and has always exceeded my expectations. I had the pleasure of having her do my makeup for my wedding and a few events and get my haircut regularly from her.
