Elisa T. Sent on 07/31/2021Melissa was a true pro and made me feel the most beautiful with natural bridal look! The best!
I can’t say enough good things about Melissa. I was devastated after my first bridal hair and makeup trial with a different stylist did not go the way I wanted it to. Melissa came to our house for our trial and made me feel 1,000x better! She gave me a more natural airbrush makeup look and an effortlessly beautiful wavy side part. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. The biggest thing my husband wanted was to see my freckles on our wedding day, and Melissa made it happen! Melissa was also super helpful about answering questions I had for myself and my bridal party leading up to the wedding! She is a true professional and she did an amazing job with her partner for my bridal party, mom and the mother of the groom on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist in NY or NJ, Melissa is your girl! She’s the best! (Photos are from my trial with Melissa — had a different hair piece for wedding!)Melissa Formica Beauty's reply:
You were a dream bride to work with! I loved connecting with you and your family. Once you told me about your first trial I made it my mission to turn that experience around. I wanted to create that effortless beauty that you were looking for. It would have been a crime to cover up those freckles!! -

Melissa is nothing short of the pinnacle of professionalism and talent, even during a pandemic she delivers unparalleled work while maintaining all safety measures. I have never felt more beautiful than after Melissa worked with me for my trial and ultimately my wedding day. I came to her with hair extensions that DID NOT match, unsure if my own hair length would be adequate enough to style my hair how I'd like it. She create the most beautiful and timeless side swept style. Something I could not have ever imagined would work on me and my god was i shocked! I felt like I had stepped out of the 1940's hollywood era. A true timeless look. My makeup was created from a number of different inspiration photos i came to her with. She mixed. custom color for my foundation and airbrushed me to perfection. My skin was flawless. Her style was the perfect blend of impactful and beachy california inspired without making me look too cakey or over done. As a New Jersey based bride, I've seen my fair share of over the top bridal makeup and this was absolutely not that. It was light, fresh faced, clean, and beautiful.
Overall Melissa delivered my hair and makeup service far beyond anything I could have ever asked for or imagined and I would recommend her to anyone I could! -

Melissa was a dream on our wedding day. Not only did she take every change and new request in stride (multiple additional people wanted their hair done after they saw the initial results from others), but she produced STUNNING hair for everyone. I have finicky curly hair and my partner has straight full hair and she made magic out of both of them. Both of our hairstyles lasted like a dream all night (without needing massive amounts of product or hairspray to keep it that way). Couldn't recommend Melissa more highly! -

Made me look like a model on my wedding day ❤️
I would absolutely hire Melissa again! She’s a true artist, selecting the right color palettes that really worked for me. I received a ton of compliments on her work for my wedding day. She really helped make the day even that much sweeter! -

Melissa has always been my go to for hair and makeup so when it came to my wedding day I knew exactly who to call! She is very knowledgeable and knows how to achieve practically any look you may want. Melissa is so easy to work, professional and really puts you at ease. She listens to what you want and makes sure you are happy with the results. I was so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out and received so many compliments from friends and family. I gladly recommend Melissa to everyone I know! -

Rana F. Sent on 05/01/2020Highlighted my natural beauty, flexible with planning!
I had a practice hair/makeup session with Melissa which went REALLY well - I was so excited for my wedding day. She was willing to try everything I wanted and was very flexible in planning. In between our practice session and the wedding date, i was diagnosed with cancer and started chemotherapy. I had lost so much hair by the time the wedding came around that I was nervous about my hair/makeup.
She came so well prepared on my wedding day. She brought me eyelashes which looked beautiful on me, was able to make my eyebrows look just as thick as before, and did my hair without even practicing it beforehand! My hair/makeup was absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a better experience with her. She managed a difficult family situation with ease and professionalism.
She is also really well priced! She has a minimum # of people who need to get hair/makeup done but the overall price is very reasonable in comparison to other NYC area artists.
Thank you, Melissa!!
