Abbi’s Work

I'm really happy I used Charlotte and her team for my wedding! Charlotte was very responsive during the wedding process - making it really easy and convenient to work with her. The person who did my hair and makeup was also really responsive - she spoke with me between my hair trial and my wedding day about different styles that would work for my hair type. She made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would turn out perfectly on the wedding day. The day of the wedding, the whole team was great! They did a fantastic job on everyone's hair and makeup. They were also really friendly and just generally easy to work with. They spent time with each person making sure they got the look they wanted. At one point my grandma came in and wanted a touch up from the makeup job she had done on herself, and Charlotte's team jumped right in to help her. Overall a fantastic experience.

Charlotte did my makeup and hair for my wedding on Aug 12, 2012. She was wonderful-- using airbrush makeup for me and my mom (did not have a wedding party).  My photographer suggested that I use her because she felt Charlotte was the best and the photos always came out great when she did the bride's make up.  I was very happy with her work!! She is very easy to work with and has a personality that puts everyone at ease. She did not do a trial run on me because I lived out of state so could not be available--any case, the results were STILL fantastic.  I hope I have another event up north where I could go to her again because I had so much fun working with her!

We were very lucky ladies to have the talented Charlotte for my daughter's wedding in Boston Massachusetts on October 24th 2015. She is patient and extremely skilled at her profession, and made us all look and feel lovely!! We just loved having her in the wedding suite!! We would highly recommend her services... but only if you want exquisite results!!!
Thank you Charlotte!

I hired Marissa from Charlotte & Co. to do hair/makeup for my wedding day on August 2, 2014, and she was the best! I honestly cannot say enough about her and this company and do not know where to begin. I found Charlotte & Co through the Knot and hired her based on reviews from other brides. From the beginning, Charlotte was nothing but professional and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure I found a stylist who was the right fit for me on my wedding day and did everything she could to make sure I was happy and comfortable. This is how I ended up with Marissa and could not have been happier.

When I first met Marissa at my trial run, I couldn't help but feel like she was someone I have known for ages. She is such a warm and friendly person and made me feel comfortable with her right from the start. Marissa really listened to what I wanted and worked with me to make sure I got the most perfect style for my wedding day. As a bride, with so many other anxieties, she made me feel at ease so leading up to my wedding day this was one less thing I had to worry about.

On the wedding day, Marissa was on time and let her true talents shine as she so flawlessly pulled together such stunning looks for me and my bridesmaids. A couple of my bridesmaids were skeptical in the beginning because they couldn't imagine someone could do their hair/makeup in such a short amount of time but Marisa is such a natural talent that she had everyone looking beautiful in no time at all. Needless to say, they were all impressed with the final results. All I can say is WOW! Everyone in my bridal party looked stunning and I could not have been happier with the final results.

We also loved the airbrush makeup! I would definitely recommend this to any bride on her wedding day...it really does last all day and I didn't even touch up my makeup once. I have never received so many compliments about my hair/makeup and neither have my bridesmaids. Even as I showed someone pictures today, they commented on how much they loved my hair and makeup and asked me who did it.

So Marissa and Charlotte, thank you! Marissa did an amazing job and really made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! I would recommend you guys to anyone!

She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was exactly what I wanted!! She was so easy to work with and did such a great job. She and her assistant Annemarie also did my bridesmaids and my mothers hair and makeup too everything was awesome. I couldn't of asked for a better experience!! I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Charlotte and Annemarie

I cried (tears of joy) three times on my wedding day; when I saw my hair, when I saw my makeup, and when I saw my husband.

Charlotte was absolutely amazing to work with.  From day one, she was easy to contact and such a great listener, which isn't the case with a lot of vendors.  She did my hair and makeup exactly as I imagined it.  She was also very sweet, punctual, and professional.  I cannot say enough great things about Charlotte!  HIGHLY recommend.

"The Ultimate Experience... transforming one to their ultimate state of beauty" how being the mother of the groom I can say no less than being in the presence of a lady of class. Her friendly, calming demeanor during a time-honored day, Charlotte was a gift to myself and my girls as we prepared for the wedding. If you want the utmost of experiences by a highly skilled makeup professional who adds her expertise and knowledge by listening to your needs and wants and adds an exceptional dimension to your day. I recommend no other than Charlotte. She adds magic to her workmanship and you can feel that she wants to be no place else but there creating a perfect moment in time for you and your loved ones.

Charlotte Phinney's hair and makeup artists are extraordinarily talented, and they made me (the bride), my bridal party, and the mothers of the bride/groom look and feel like superstars on my wedding day. Everyone in the bridal party was commenting how the hair/makeup they provided was far and away better than any other stylists they've worked with. This talent did come at a price, of course, and these services were definitely a bit of a splurge, but I didn't want to take any chances with hair and makeup on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend enlisting any of Charlotte's stylists for your big day!

Chartlotte & her team are the absolute 'Dream Team'. They're punctual and a pleasure to work with. She made my family, friends and I look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I'll never use another hair/make up service, she is the absolute BEST.

Charlotte's expertise and calm set the tone for a glorious wedding day.  She came to us which was convenient and allowed us to have a relaxing morning free of the chaos that can ensue.  She did hair and makeup for me, my maid of honor, bridesmaid and flower girl.  She listened to what we each wanted and made us all look gorgeous.  Her professional yet easy going nature put me at ease and made for a truly special morning spent with my family that I will always cherish.

Charlotte came to my daughter's apartment at 8 am the day of the wedding to do hair and make up for a wedding party of three. She was with us for almost 4 hours and we found her to be very accommodating and efficient yet unobtrusive. We all loved our individual make up applications and different hair styles. The eyelash extensions were a fun surprise that added even more glamour to everyone. My daughter, the bride, had decided to wear her long hair down for the day. Charlotte arranged her long tresses beautifully AND they lasted all day! Charlotte even had a selection of beautiful hair clips with her. We all would highly recommend using the services of Charlotte for your special day. She is very talented and a lovely person!

I hired Charlotte Phinney to do my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she did an amazing job. She was punctual, professional, and very caring. I wanted very natural looking makeup and was extremely pleased with the outcome. When I could not find the lipstick color she had used during our trial run, Charlotte ran out the day before my wedding to buy it herself.

Charlotte is also great at improvising. At the spur of the moment, one of my bridesmaids decided she wanted her hair done by Charlotte, and Charlotte gave her a beautiful hairstyle that complemented her features. My mother also had her hair and makeup done by Charlotte, and despite being really unsure of what she wanted Charlotte to do, Charlotte gave her a wonderful makeover.

In short, I highly recommend Charlotte Phinney for her professionalism, ability to creatively think on her feet, and her talent.

Charlotte is simply amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding and made me look so beautiful. She had done my sister-in-law's hair and makeup for her wedding to rave reviews a couple years ago too.

On my big day, Charlotte made sure that I looked like myself only better and fancier. She gave me a glow that lasted all day and put on lashes to die for! The lashes looked so natural and people thought they were mine. I actually loved my makeup so much that I slept in it, false lashes and all, and wore it to my wedding brunch the next day.

My bridal party and mother also had their makeup done by Charlotte and they all really loved their makeup too. My mom kept her lashes on for the brunch the next day too. My photographer, who hadn't worked with Charlotte before the wedding, was really impressed with the bridal party's makeup asked for Charlotte's card. A friend who was at the wedding and is getting married soon asked for Charlotte's card too. Everyone just raved!

In addition to being an incredible makeup artist, Charlotte is also very calming and sweet - I was a stressed out bride the morning of the wedding and was able to relax as soon as I was in Charlotte's capable hands.

Thank you, Charlotte, for making me look so beautiful and feel so wonderful! I wish I could have you do my makeup every day! I will definitely use Charlotte for any makeup needs in the future and highly recommend her services. She's a gifted makeup artist and a lovely lady as well!

Charlotte & Joanne were absolutely amazing on my wedding day. They were cheery, on time, happy to be there, and really spent the perfect amount of time on each bridesmaid, mom, sister, flower girl, etc. They worked around all our movement, chit chatting, music, phone calls, visitors dropping by.

They really listened to what you want and will even give you beauty tips for what will best suit your style. They are real professional gems and I am so lucky to have had them do my and my bridal party's hair & makeup.

Book them now! I'm serious, or else, some other bride will...

I started getting my hair cut with Charlotte once I booked her for my hair/makeup for my wedding. She did an outstanding job on my wedding day. Everyone commented the entire night on my hair. I loved the look and feel of the airbrush makeup. She also did my 2 sisters hair which came out great. Charlotte is patient, listens to what you want, and makes you feel at ease on the big day. I would definitely recommend Charlotte Phinney for hair and makeup.

I was lucky enough that my daughter found Charlotte to do our hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding this July.  Charlotte was fantastic!  She listened to what my daughter wanted and did a beautiful job on our hair and makeup. The airbrushing was so natural but made the mother-of-the-bride feel so much younger and well-rested.  Having Charlotte prepare you for that special event is a must.

As another reviewer mentioned, I cannot say enough about Charlotte and the work she did for my December wedding at the Barker Tavern in Scituate.  I had a trial done quite a bit earlier and absolutely loved the look she created for both my hair and make-up.  On the day of my wedding, she met my nieces and me at the Barker Tavern so we could have everything done and then get dressed without having to travel anywhere.  Not only is she extremely professional, she has a very calming effect especially for a bride!  She is just the nicest person and an absolute delight!  I really hope I will have an opportunity to recommend her to others because I definitely will!!

I had the pleasure of having Charlotte do my makeup, my mother, mother-in-law and my bridesmaids. She also did my mother and my mother in laws hair updo's. Charlotte was my second makeup trial in my quest to find the PERFECT makeup for my wedding and the second I met her I knew she would be my makeup artist. My makeup was so important to me and she made me look my most beautiful, flawless self. I literally have never felt or thought I looked glamourous, but Charlotte made me feel and look like a movie star on this most important and special day. The airbrush was absolutely amazing, and through the heat, dancing, etc it still looked perfect 10 hours later (We had a freak of a 90 degree day in May). I cannot possibly recommend Charlotte enough. She was warm, calm and listened to all of my anxieties and requests. An absolute doll to work with, I would use her again 100x over! Her prices are totally reasonable and so worth every single penny!

Charlotte and Annemarie were simply a delight to work with! Charlotte was both professional and sweet; a truly calming force. Having never had my makeup professionally done, I was afraid of looking like a completely different person on my wedding day. Charlotte assured me at our trial session that her goal was never to go over the top, but to make each bride look like her best self on her best day. Charlotte and her team certainly delivered! I could not have been happier with my bridal makeup. Everyone looked beautiful. The makeup was understated, yet glamorous; exactly the look I was going for. Not to mention, it lasted well into the evening. Since my wedding, I have had multiple brides-to-be ask me for Charlotte's contact information as a testament to the amazing job she did for me. I am excited to work with Charlotte and her team in July as a bridesmaid for one of my best friends!

Charlotte Phinney did my makeup for my friend's wedding.  It was amazing!  The airbrush is light and natural looking and gives beautiful coverage.
I received compliments all night and still looked great at the end of the evening.  Don't miss out on the eyelashes, I was hesitant to try them and so glad that I did, I loved them.
She was professional, easy to work with and really listens to what you like.  Book her, you won't be disappointed

A friend from work recommended Charlotte for hair and make-up. I'm so glad that she did! Right from the start, working with Charlotte was easy.

The trial was great; she tweaked the amount/style of make-up so that the look was exactly what I wanted. My friend had mentioned that I should try the false eyelashes during the trial, so I figured this is the time to go for it. They looked amazing both at the trail and at the wedding!

On the day of, Charlotte arrived exactly on time and was ready to get started. My mom and sister didn't do hair/makeup trials ahead of time, so Charlotte took the time to pause, ask questions, and make sure that they were happy with the hair and make-up as she was working (they were!).

The makeup that Charlotte uses really stays on. I kept meaning to go to the ladies' room during the reception to reapply lipstick, but I was having too much fun. From the pictures, it's clear that the lipstain that Charlotte used stayed on. The airbrushed make-up also withstood the warm temps. at the outdoor ceremony.

I loved the way that I looked on my wedding day and I received so many compliments from friends and family members. Charlotte is wonderful to work with. She's kind, easy, going, and professional. I whole-heartedly recommend her!

I had a trial run for my wedding with Joanne and she did an amazing job! She was very professional and listened to how I wanted my hair and makeup done. The day of my wedding, she did my hair and makeup exactly how she did it in the trial run.

On my wedding day, Joanne also did my mother's makeup and it came out gorgeous. It looked very natural. She did my sister and stepdaughter's hair, too, and both of them came out great.
I cannot say enough about Charlotte Phinney and especially Joanne. I would HIGHLY recommend Charlotte Phinney.

Charlotte Phinney was beyond amazing to work with from start to finish! I had looked at dozens of different on location hair and makeup stylists for my September 2015 wedding. Once I found Charlotte and looked at her portfolio, I knew the choice had been decided! Charlotte did my hair, my mother and mother-in-law's hair and makeup, and my grandmother's hair and makeup. Ashley did the hair for my six bridesmaids. Charlotte and Ashley arrived ahead of schedule (30 minutes before they were scheduled to be there) and promptly began setting up and prepping. Both Charlotte and Ashley were so kind and genuine, creative, professional, efficient, and most importantly calm! They kept the day running smoothly and on schedule! I decided I wanted to switch up my hair style from what Charlotte had done at my trial and she was more than happy to accommodate the change while working efficiently to do so. It is clear that she is in the business to make her brides happy and finds great pride in making her brides look and feel beautiful. Everyone kept commenting to me on how happy they were with their hair and makeup and how amazing Charlotte and Ashley were to work with. I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with my decision to hire Charlotte and Ashley. Thank you Charlotte and Ashley for making me, my friends, and my family feel and look absolutely beautiful!

I just had a trial run of hair and makeup for my wedding, and all I can say is wow! I almost never wear makeup or fuss with my hair and, any time someone has tried to put make up on me, I've felt a) not like myself and b) that I look like a circus clown. Needless to say, I was utterly terrified about the idea of someone airbushing makeup on my face, applying false eyelashes, and using rollers and hairspray on my virgin (ok, not quite virgin, but nearly virgin) locks. Charlotte immediately made me feel at ease with her professional, warm, and lovely demeanor. She asked a lot of helpful questions and was very patient and reassuring that she would keep the look natural, while at the same time making me look special and beautiful for my wedding day. I am so excited to have such a wonderful and talented woman work on my hair and makeup for my wedding. Thanks, Charlotte!

I was lucky enough to have Charlotte Phinney be a part of my special day as I graduated from Boston University. Charlotte made it very easy to set up a traveling hair and makeup artist to come to my hotel where I was staying. Joanne arrived on time and exceeded my expectations! The quality of her work was amazing and lasted throughout the day. The airbrush application was wonderful and my hair was spectacular! I would highly recommend Charlotte Phinney to be a part of anyone's special day!

Charlotte and her team were absolutely incredible! They made the getting ready process easy and fun, and everyone looked stunning at the end. I have never felt more beautiful, and know my mother and mother-in-law felt the same. I had 11 bridesmaids, which made the preparation process no easy task….but Charlotte, Lyndsay, and Erica made everything run smoothly.

Nearly every bridesmaid had a different hair style, and each one of them loved how they looked. One bridesmaid is getting married in a few months and is now going to get married in the same hair style Charlotte’s team put her in!

Charlotte is wonderful at both hair and makeup, but also runs a great business. She is very professional, responsive on email, and super organized. She created a timeline for all 15 people getting ready and stuck to it…there was never a single moment of stress. In addition, Charlotte and her team are friendly and personable and added a calming air to the entire day.

I highly recommend Charlotte & Co. for any special event on the Cape or in Massachusetts.

Working with Charlotte was one of the easiest and best decisions I made for our wedding. She and Marissa provided hair & makeup services for my wedding including 8 bridesmaids and my mother. Working with Charlotte was a breeze from the second I contacted her. She was quick to respond to email, even from vacation, and made sure all my questions were answered clearly. I brought a few pictures to my trial and she did exactly what I was thinking/wanted on the first try! The contracting, payment schedule, etc. is clear and easy to follow. It was much easier to pay for the services in advance instead of collecting money from my bridesmaids on my wedding day.

On the wedding day, Charlotte and Marissa arrived exactly on schedule and were setup and ready to go. They were nice, friendly and easy going about small changes to the schedule due to coordinating 10+ people. My bridesmaids are still talking about how funny and nice they were. Everyone loved how their services came out, and my wedding pictures look GREAT because of it! My mother was nervous about airbrush makeup application, but Charlotte talked to her about it and showed her how it's applied. She felt comfortable and got it done- it made such a big difference!
For the nervous bride, consider hiring Charlotte & Company in the "easy" column. You will get prompt emails, clear answers, professional services & advice, an exact schedule for the day with room before the wedding start time and a very relaxing day of getting ready. For me, that was a big part of my wedding day and my memories of it are so warm and wonderful because of Charlotte & Company!

I was recently a bridesmaid in a wedding and found Charlotte only a month before the wedding. She was quick to respond and so helpful in helping us to set up our appointments with her.

Joanne did our makeup that day. She was on time and worked quickly to keep us on our schedule. Not only was she extremely personable and professional but her work was amazing. We all felt beautiful and the makeup looked fresh all night long!

Thank you, Charlotte and Joanne, for being a part of that special day!

She was extremely efficient with all of the updo's, and did 7 hairstyles In record time. She was able to suggest the styles she thought would look best on us.. And mix it with pictures we had of styles that we liked. We all loved her finished product!! Highly recommended!

Charlotte, Marissa and Ashley did the hair and makeup of my bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride, Step Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom and the bride (me). The entire experience working with Charlotte and her team was extraordinary.

Charlotte did a cut and highlight for me in November 2014 at her Salon and I loved how perfect my highlights were and it was the best cut I had ever had. I then had a hair and makeup trial and she did exactly what I asked for from her looking at a picture. A few days before my wedding, I decided to change the style of my hair and I sent her a picture to see if the change would be ok and she once again did it perfect on the day of. Everyone's hair and makeup came out amazing. My mother is 64 (sorry Mom!) and she was absolutely stunning! Charlotte's team was just amazing. They were professional and they tailored everyone's makeup so that their natural beauty was enhanced.

Charlotte was quick to respond to emails, phone calls and texts. She even puts together the wedding day timeline for everyone's hair and makeup so that the day was streamlined and stress free. I am honored that Charlotte and her team were part of my wedding day. Thank you!
