“ Tina is awesome! I had hair trials with many different people to do my hair for my wedding day. I am very picky and was starting to get nervous that I wouldn't be able to find someone. Tina was my savior! She is patient, listened to what I wanted, and proceeded to do my hair EXACTLY the way I wanted in both the trial and on the wedding day. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. She responded to all of my questions in a very prompt manner whenever I emailed her. Tina arrived early on the day of the wedding and stuck to the schedule she created for my bridal party. All my girls looked beautiful and the whole getting ready experience before the ceremony was very calm and relaxing thanks to Tina. I highly recommend her!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Tina. She is truly a professional and one who knows how to make brides, and bridesmaids alike, feel magnificent. Each of my bridesmaids had a different request, and Tina masterfully delivered hairstyles that flattered everyone. I highly recommend using Tina as she is the best of the best!”

“ Tina and Jen did an AMAZING job on all my bridesmaids' hair and makeup! They were extremely efficient, successfully completing the hair and makeup of nearly 10 girls the morning of my wedding! The majority of the time, they were ahead of schedule, very impressive! All the girls looked beautiful - hair was stylish and sophisticated; makeup was natural yet stunning. Most importantly, they were a pleasure to have around in the morning - talkative, calm, fun, it felt like we've all been friends forever! I would recommend Tina and Jen with 110% confidence to ALL brides!!!!”

“ I can not say enough good things about Tina & Jennifer! They made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire planning process. From the initial meeting, to the trial, the scheduling, and the day of my wedding! The quality of their work was superior! They are able to work with your best features and enhance them. Not only did I look beautiful, but it lasted the entire day! I looked just as beautiful at the end of the reception as I did at the beginning. One of Tina & Jennifer’s best qualities is the superior communication. They listen first, and then address your questions or concerns. All phone calls and emails were returned with unparalleled speed and professionalism. Do not hesitate to contact Magnificent Brides with any hair and makeup needs. If you are able to book them for your big day, count yourself lucky as they truly are the BEST! !!”

“I cannot say enough about Magnificentbrides! Tina was FABULOUS!! Tina was fun to work with but also very professional. Working with her was a dream and so convenient. Tina arrived at the hotel right on time. We never had to worry about going to a salon or getting caught in bad weather. At first, my daughter, the bride, was very uncertain about an updo. Tina did a "practice" abut two weeks before the wedding and my daughter was sold! Without exception, everyone was pleased with their hair on the day of the wedding. Tina did a wide variety of styles in a very short time. She even managed to add the groom's mother at the very last minute! I cannot thank her enough for making my daughter's wedding day so perfect!”

- very happy MOM

“Thanks Tina and Jennifer for making Stephanie's day absolutely perfect!!!!”

“ I cannot recommend Jennifer's cosmetic services highly enough. She did the makeup for my wedding and I got tons of compliments on how natural and beautiful it looked. The eyelash extensions made my puny lashes totally voluptuous! I was was really nervous about having the look be too strong, but she listened to what I wanted and executed my vision perfectly! Best of all, it lasted all day.

The other things I have to mention are Jennifer's personality and professionalism. She was fun and easygoing, did not pressure me to buy beauty products (though I bought some anyway because they were so great), and made everyone in the room feel comfortable. I was relieved that she was on time for the big day, and on the ball about our trial and returning my phone calls quickly. All things that are important to a jittery bride! ”

“My wedding day started out with being pampered by Tina and Jennifer, I was so pleased in working with. The professionalism, experience and personality of this beauty team, made me look like a movie star the entire day of my wedding. The many compliments I received from my guests was testimony of what a great job they did. Not to mention my husband (till this day) telling me how beautiful I looked. I felt very comfortable working with both of them to achieve the look I was striving after. They both have the flexibility, skill and passion to allow anyone to create the look they desire for their special day. Jennifer's magic touch accentuated my eyes, creating a dramatic look using lashes, without looking unnatural, which I loved. Tina's expertise gave body to my long flat hair into long lasting beautiful curls. Tina did a marvelous job at making my hair look beautiful without it feeling too heavy, which I appreciated. I can confidently say that I look back at my wedding pictures with a smile.”

“Jennifer was an absolute dream to work with! She is friendly, professional, and extremely talented. From the trial to my wedding day she was fabulous. I've already recommended her to a few friends and will continue to do so. Her make-up line is also wonderful and the make-up application was flawless!”

- Kristy

“Tina did my hair and 10 of my bridesmaids and flower girls for my wedding. We all looked absolutly beautiful! I brought in a photo I found in a magazine of the hair style I wanted and Tina was able to duplicate it exactly to a tee. If you can't find a style, Tina is so experienced she can help you with something that looks perfect on you. All of our up do's stayed perfect the whole 13 hour day! If your looking for a dependable, experienced, professional hair stylist that will come to you on your wedding day look no further...Tina with Magnificent Brides will make you look beautiful!”

“I looked flawless in every pictures through hours of dancing and drinking at the wedding, can't beat that, especially when your make-up artist also happens to be super nice, attentive and really takes pride in her work!”

“Tina and Jennifer were amazing to work with and did a fantastic job. All of the hairstyles were different but were perfect for each of my bridesmaids and myself. Jennifer's make-up applications were so great and the pictures of the wedding show just how wonderful everyone looked. I can't say enough about them.”

- Stephanie

“Jennifer has an amazing talent of making anyone's face look absolutely flawless. I had 15 bridesmaid and each and every one of them looked great. My make-up looked so natural and she made my eyes stand out, just the way I wanted them to look. I refer her to so many people! The make-up that she uses is really great. I have oilier skin and it really stayed on all day.”

- Maria

“Tina did my hair as well as my entire bridal party on my wedding day. She has such an incredible talent that just by looking at someone she knows just the right style for that person. I have gone to her for years and she had done my hair for a number of weddings that I was in before my own and each time she did it I felt beautiful. Looking back on my pictures and my video from my wedding it makes me want to do it all over again because of what a perfect job she did. She is highly recommended!”

“Tina provided outstanding and professional service. She was able to accommodate my request to come to my home the morning of my wedding. Tina's enthusiastic nature and upbeat personality were exactly what I needed to start off my wedding day and tame my nerves. Her passion for her work is obvious through her amazing bridal creations and technical skills. I have naturally curly hair and my biggest concern was whether or not my curls would hold up all day or fall victim to a severe case of the frizzies. It was perfect. Tina styled my hair so perfectly that it held its place the entire day right until the end of our celebrations well into the late evening. My bridesmaids looked stunning as well. Everyone in my wedding party was thrilled with the results. No bride should go without Tina's services for such an important and monumental occasion. If you're planning a wedding book Tina's services before anything else. The rest will follow!!!”
