Charlotte Phinney, Founder of Charlotte & Company, has always had a passion for creating beautiful hair and flawless makeup. In fact, for the last three decades, her clients have included celebrities, world leaders – and brides who want to look and feel special on their wedding day.
Recognizing the need for top notch beauty experts for brides, Charlotte formed Charlotte & Company, a team of traveling makeup artists and hairstylists with over 200 years of experience between them. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. For over seven consecutive years, her company has received The Knot Best of Weddings and proudly displays The Knot Hall of Fame award. The Wedding Wire also honored Charlotte and her team with “The Couples Choice Award.” Borrowed and Blue honored the team with the Best of BB for 2017.
When Charlotte’s not traveling between Boston and New York City working for ABC, A&E, CNN, WGBH and on Broadway, you can catch her enhancing a bride’s natural beauty and personal style at weddings up and down the East Coast. In her off time, she kayaks off the shore of her ocean home in MA, entertains on the deck and travels when she can. Mostly to far off places, in search of inspiration. After all, beauty can be found everywhere.
Every wedding and bride is so unique! That makes my work rewarding because I can use all of my makeup and hairstyling experience to make the bride and her best friends look and feel special. I’ve been a dancer for years and know that preparation counts. My goal is for you to be inspired, by your own beauty. It’s your big day, after all.
I’ve been a hair stylist for the past 14 years, but there’s no greater joy than working with bridal parties. It’s such an honor to be part of their big day! My specialties? Up do’s for long and short hair and out of the box looks. My brides love Pinterest! I’m a busy Mom with two kids, an avid gardener and we all love to be outside, especially at the beach. My life is blessed!
Let’s face it, hair is very important on your wedding day! You could say I’ve been practicing since I’ve been about 6 years-old, starting with my Barbie doll. Braiding came easy, as did up do’s. Fast forward 27 years, I’m still a stylist who loves making brides look gorgeous on their big day. When they look in the mirror and see the light in their eyes, I know I’ve done my job!
When I first entered the field of cosmetology over 37 years ago, I never imagined it would become the most rewarding career for me! As a stylist, makeup artist, and former makeup instructor, I’ve worked with models, photographers, and over a hundred brides. The energy and excitement of the bridal party inspires me to make the bride absolutely stunning for her big day!
I’m an accomplished MAC artist and have worked with brides for over 20 years. I began my career when other’s complimented how I looked. Now, I complement a bride’s natural beauty! I love my work, children, family and anything artsy. Even a coloring book! I’m probably one of the best listeners you’ll ever find too, even if you’re quiet. Call it beauty intuition. I hear you!
I’m an art major and makeup artist who’s been working with brides for about 17 years. Weddings bring out the happiness in everyone and I love that energy! Lashes and extensions really add depth and definition to the eyes and make such a difference in photos. Honestly, I could walk into Lowes and transform a room. What I can do to transform a bride is amazing!
There’s so much you can do with hair and I love working with extensions and hairpieces to amplify a certain look or feel. You could say I’m a hair artist and have been featured in Martha Stewart Destinations, Southern New England Magazine and a few more. I see art in the most mundane things and paint with oils and pastels. My brides? They’re my masterpiece.
You could say I’m an expert in fancy hair, up do’s and hair painting for a sun-kissed glow. They call it balayage, layering colors for a natural look. When I’m not working, I keep busy with my 5 year-old. Other hobbies? Twitter! I love keeping up with celebrities (and what styles and hair they’re wearing). It give me inspiration to always up my game!
There’s such an excitement of being part of a bride’s big day! Since I was a little girl, I loved playing with hair. Who knew I’d grow up to be a color expert, working with all kinds of color techniques -and just loving to do up do’s! When I’m not in the salon or on location, I’m gardening, crocheting or cooking. I guess you could say I’m hands on and always creating!
My love of makeup began in my teens when I applied makeup for all of my friends. I received my esthetician license from Elizabeth Grady and then went on to earn my Master Certification from Mario Dedivanovic and Rachael Wayde. There is nothing better than making a bride feel beautiful on the most memorable day of her life.
Every minute of my 25 year makeup career has been pure joy! I’ve been fortunate to work with celebrity clients and to have my work featured in People Magazine, Nantucket “N” Magazine, and Lady Grace catalog.

My ten years in the industry has been amazing! Most rewarding is the reaction when my brides look in the mirror for the first time.

I love every thing about weddings and especially working with brides! My passion is making women feel beautiful. Nothing pleases me more than when I see a big smile in the mirror when someone sees their style for the first time. When I am not doing hair I enjoy travel, doing yoga and spending time with my family and friends.
One of my strong points is my ability to listen and hear what a bride is saying, even a bride that has a challenge explaining what she would like. I love creating classic looks, particularly ones that have a retro feel. When I don’t have a comb in my hands it will probably be a power tool and I will be making some old piece beautiful. A highlight of my career was doing hair on the set of Ghostbusters!
My background in wedding photography was a great lead into makeup artistry for me. I am often told that my calm demeanor helps brides to relax. My specialty is a makeup application that results in a person looking like themselves while bringing out their best features. In my spare time I like to cycle, sail, hike and bike. One of the highlights of my career was when my work was published in Elle and Vogue.
I love to make a bride feel beautiful and happy on her wedding day! I am a former salon owner with 18 years experience in the industry. My passion is doing bridal hairstyles. When I am not working with brides I love the fast pace of working behind the scene at fashion shows, going to the movies, dancing and time with my family and friends.
My speciality is creating flawless and glowing faces while giving you a personal experience in which you relax and feel pampered as you’re made White Carpet ready! Before discovering my passion for everything bridal, I worked for fifteen plus years as a pro-makeup artist for such prestigious brands as Lancôme Paris, Christian Dior, Stila Cosmetics, NARS Cosmetics, Gorgio Armani and Chanel.
Studying art in college lead me to the world of makeup. After college, I moved to California and attended Makeup Designory in Burbank. I love being part of a bride’s special day and creating a flawless makeup for her. In LA I was afforded the honor of doing makeup for the pre-Oscar Fashion Show. When I am not working with a bride, I like to play volleyball, read, write screenplays and paint in oils.
I love working with brides, there is nothing more special than being part of the celebration. Creating just the perfect style for a bride is my passion.

I love the positive energy and excitement of being part of a brides special day! My passion is working with long hair and I love to do braids.

When I am not doing hair and makeup I enjoy time with my daughter, family activities and classes that keep me up to date on hair and makeup trends.
Creating a flawless natural complexion for my bride along with a beautiful hairstyle that compliments her makeup is my specialty. Natural can be very “glam”! I love seeing the “twinkle” in my bride’s eyes when she sees her transformation. When not making a bride beautiful I like to dance, sing, do arts and crafts, go to the movies and of course, shop!
Doing makeup for a bride and her party gives me the most amazing feeling of excitement from the moment that I open my eyes that morning until final touch ups are done at the end of the day. My passion is creating flawless looking skin and beautiful eyes that “pop”! When I am not doing makeup I love to read and take long walks around Castle Island.
A soft, romantic, and somewhat “lived-in” look is my cup of tea. The attention to detail in every style, will always have me aiming for perfection, but this look in particular is one of my favorites.
Thirteen years in the beauty industry and I am thankful everyday for choosing a career that allows me to express myself creatively, while also making others feel beautiful inside and out.
In my spare time I enjoy taking walks through the woods with my dog Holly, painting, and creating artwork with many different types of mediums.
In first grade, I made a deal with my Mom that I could brush my own hair as long as long as it looked good. By middle school, I was doing all of my friends hair for dances and events until I could attend cosmetology school. I now have spent more than nine years behind the chair, customizing hair colors and cuts for each of my guests. My favorite part of this business is building relationships. I find it to be the highest honor to have the chance to contribute to making a bride’s big day as special as possible. If you don’t see me with my hands in hair, you’ll find me with my dog Kalypso, in the mountains or on the beach but always in Mother Nature.
I love giving extra attention to my bride’s skin and how it looks. My specialty is bringing out her eyes to really make them pop! And, I get excited when a bride requests a bold red lip! It is so rewarding to make her feel beautiful!
In my spare time I love painting, sculpting and all DYI projects. I am a big hockey fan and former player. When I played, I was the young girl with the green hockey shirt and the matching green eyeshadow!

I love seeing the transformation, brides work for many months putting together the total picture in their mind. Getting to see the hair, makeup, dresses and jewelry is such a thrill. I listen to my brides to learn their comfort level and then create their personal look which can be anywhere from natural to glam.
When I am not doing makeup I love spending with my husband and son at the beach, kayaking and being outdoors.
