Melissa D'Aloia & Co.

Melissa & Co. is one of the best decisions I have made for my wedding thus far. My first encounter with Melissa was through email and she was very responsive and accomodating. She has always been more concerned with my schedule than hers and has been very flexible. She told me that she is booked for my wedding date but that Nicole would be available and does beautiful work so I went ahead and scheduled a trial and am glad I did. They both made me feel so relaxed and calm during the trial and this super hectic time in my life. Nicole did an amazing job with my makeup and my maids of honor (which i brought with me that day) were just blown away. She made my eyes sparkle and trully brought them out. She listened to what I wanted and gave me the look I had been asking for. I felt beautiful after my trial and the makeup lasted well into the night. I also worked with Melissa for my makeup for my engagement shoot and it was just flawless as well. She is such a professional and really knows what will benefit you. On top of it all, she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I can't wait for my wedding day because I know I am in trusted hands and will look beautiful.

I was married on November 25, 2011 and this is the first review I am leaving out of every vendor I used. Melissa D'Aloia & Co is, in my experience, the best team of makeup artists and hair stylists out there. Melissa did my makeup, as well as the makeup of my mother and bridal party. Each woman looked absolutely amazing. Whether they wanted a smoky eye or a more natural look Melissa managed to transform each girl to an even more beautiful version of themselves. She listened to what each girl wanted, but also made suggestions based on the dress and each girls individual features. I felt beautiful and I know my bridal party did as well! We all received many compliments through out the night and can't wait to find some excuse to use her again. She is friendly, sweet, professional, and very talented! For hair I booked with Mercedes. We all knew we wanted natural looks so we challenged her with doing simple and soft hair styles in 6 different ways. She exceeded our expectations. She managed to make soft and natural still look elegant and special. Each girl had a distinct little "wow" that made their hair style stand out from everyone else's. They also held up great through out the night. Instead of falling flat or limp everything managed to stay perfectly elegant and gorgeous. Definitely book with this company, and book early. There's nothing like the peace of mind of knowing that no matter what goes right or wrong on that day, one thing will be certain...you will look and feel absolutely...

Melissa far exceeded my expectations. She is an amazing person and a beyond amazing makeup artist. In the little time I got to know her I felt like I had a friend by my side making me look beautiful on my wedding day! A few bridesmaids had their makeup done as well and it took my breath away how stunning each of them looked. My makeup lasted throughout the entire day and night of crying and dancing!!! I would give my highest recommendations for Melissa, saying she is outstanding is an understatement!

I was so pleased with my hair and makeup on the day of my wedding, more than I could ever have imagined. They were on time and professional, I have gotten so many compliments...

Melissa and her team are AMAZING! From the moment I first got in touch with her, she was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were planning a cross country wedding, so she was one of the only vendors who made my life easy! I was blown away by her portfolio and reached out to set up a trial session immediately. Since we were only in town for a limited amount of time, she graciously moved around her schedule and even came in on a day she wasn't working to help me out. She offers regular make-up or airbrush. I figured this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I went with the airbrush. Girls - if you can afford it - do it! It stays on all day, you never have to do a touch up and Melissa does an amazing job of making you look natural with just that extra pop of pizazz! ;) Throughout the event, everyone kept saying, "You look GORGEOUS! Who did your eyes?? Who did your make-up and hair?? Melissa showed up on time and helped make all of the women in my family look stunning. Even my mother who has never liked having her make-up done said that Melissa and her team were the most talented make-up artist & hair stylist she's ever met! On that note, I also have to mention Kristi Unis who did a phenomenal job with our hair. If I ever had a concern or question, both women listened and helped tweak something so it was just what we all wanted. Many thanks to both ladies for making me and my entire family feel beautiful inside and out! I highly highly recommend Melissa and her team of artists!

Melissa D'Aloia & co are AWESOME make up artists.. My bridal party and I loved the way our make up came out! Brides you should defiantly go for a trial you will love it!!

If you want to look and feel fabulous on your wedding day then your search has ended! Melissa D'Aloia is phenomenal!!!! I had a vision of what I wanted for hair and makeup and Melissa and Joelle executed beyond my wildest dreams! I told Melissa and Joelle they helped make my wedding day dream come true. They listen to what you want and made sure I was 110% happy. Not only was I extremely impressed but all of the girls in my bridal party and my mom were as well. Melissa and Joelle are amazing at what they do and are amazing people that you would want to be around too! I will definitely be a returning customer of Melissa's when the opportunity presents itself! Brides to be...do not hesitate - make Melissa D'Aloia and Company part of your wedding day!!

This review is long overdue, as I was married in July, but I just realized that I never wrote one for her. Melissa was the perfect choice for me on my wedding day. First of all, she is such a nice person. She was always very responsive to my questions and my concerns about having my make-up done because I do not typically wear much make-up. From the minute she came to do my trial, I knew she was a perfect fit to do my make-up and my mom's, as well as a few of my bridesmaids. She listened to what I had to say and the make-up was beautiful. I had the air brushing which I would highly recommend because it is very natural looking and it lasted all day long! Even when I cried, my make-up did not run at all. I was so pleased on the day of my wedding because I truly felt beautiful. She also fit an extra bridesmaid into her schedule for me and worked around all the commotion going on in my house that morning with a smile. Hiring Melissa for your make-up would be a perfect decision for your wedding day and I'm sure her company does hair just as nice. Thank you!

Melissa is truly the best makeup artist in the tri-state area! She is professional, kind, and a wonderful artist. Working with her was an absolute pleasure and I look forward to using her services again!

Melissa is wonderful. She was an amazing person to work with! The day before my wedding, my mother had a major allergic reaction, her eyes were practically swollen shut. Needless to say, we were both extremely nervous about what would happen on the day of the wedding. After a trip to the emergency medical center, she got medication to make the swelling to go down, but redness set in. Not only did Melissa help calm us down the day before the wedding by suggesting ways to reduce the swelling, but she also was able to cover up any sign that there was a problem. My mother looked beautiful, and no one could tell anything was wrong for the entire day! Melissa did an amazing job on my make up as well. I could not have asked for anything better!!

Melissa was such a joy & pleasure to work with on my wedding day! I have never felt so beautiful in my life. I felt flawless and the confidence really showed through in all of my photos. I felt so natural and my makeup held up until I washed it off. Everyone in my bridal party felt and looked amazing! Melissa and her team are a great group of women that any bride should be honored to work with. Thank you Melissa for being so amazing! xoxo, Tara

Melissa and Andrea are both not only very professional and do excellent work, they down-to-earth and really nice people!! I had a trial done and as a result I was even more excited for my big day knowing that I would be in good and caring hands! People could not say enough about my hair and make-up and both looked just as good at the end of the night as it did when I had them just done - and that's the total truth! That's amazing considering my complexion and the fact that I was on the dance floor the entire evening!

Melissa did my makeup as well as my bridesmaid's makeup for my wedding. Suffice it to say that the results were INCREDIBLE. Melissa achieved a look that was flawless yet natural. She was also a joy to hang out with the day of the wedding -- she was patient, fun, and put me at ease. I will definitely be working with Melissa again!!

Melissa D'Aloia and Company was great to work with for my wedding! From the trial to the day of the wedding, Melissa was there to help me every step of the way with any questions or concerns that I had. The day of the wedding the team arrived earlier than stated, everything went smoothly, and we even done earlier than anticipated. I had over 8 girls have their make up done and 6 girls have their hair done. Everyone loved how their hair and makeup looked and most importantly it stayed on ALL NIGHT! (12+ hours) Denise, Andrea, & Melissa were wonderful to work with and I would recommend / use them again!! Thank you for all your hard work and making us all look fabulous!

I can’t recommend Melissa enough! It was an absolute pleasure working with Melissa. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. It was a blast getting ready with her!

Melissa ws amazing, I would recommend her to any bride. She will make you look beautiful.

Melissa and her assistant Sabrina were amazing. They transformed not only myself, but my 5 bridesmaids, 3 mothers, and 2 aunts into stunning pieces of art. Their professionalism, talent, warmth and kindness provided a calming and serene atmosphere for a morning that traditionally should have been surrounded by nerves and chaos. Without them, the day would not have been the same. I highly recommend Melissa for any bride who simply wants the best! I cannot thank her enough for making me feel like what every bride is supposed to feel like on her wedding day; beautiful.

Melissa was my makeup artist for my wedding on 10-1-10. She was wonderful. My bridesmaids and myself loved our makeup and could not ask for anyone better than Melissa. She was very professional and everyone was finished on time! Thank you Melissa!

Melissa, Thank you so much for doing the makeup for my wedding. It looked amazing and I was so happy with it! Also, Andrea did a great job on our hair and the pictures are amazing. Thank you again for everything! Melanie

I was first exposed to Melissa's talent when my best friend got married and she utilized Melissa D'Aloia's professional makeup services to treat her bridal party. Melissa transformed each bridesmaid into a polished beauty and the bride was simply gorgeous. Based on my experience as a bridesmaid, I knew that Melissa was going to provide an excellent service for my wedding party, and I was right. Melissa and I discussed early on in the process the approximate number of people that will utilize her service. As my wedding got closer, Melissa reached out to confirm numbers, and helped develop a timeline for me to share with my bridesmaids. On my wedding day, Melissa brought an assistant, director's chairs, and a variety of makeup that accomodated various skin types and tones. Melissa was fun to work with, joking with my 4 year old niece, and worked quickly to make sure we were looking great for when the photographer was due to arrive. Melissa's rates were extremely fair, and she was successful with transforming me into a better looking version of myself. I felt that Melissa was talented in not overdoing the makeup and simply highlighting my best features so I looked like a movie star version of myself.
