Every bride wants to look and feel absolutely beautiful on their big day, and even though they say true beauty lies within, the right hair and make up bring it out!!! I wanted to look natural and flawless. When I walked in the door, I knew Michelle was going to be perfect. The look and feel of the shop mixed with her personality.....it was a no brainer...she had me at HELLO!!!! I gave her a few ideas and she nailed it on the first try. Michelle is unbelievable at what she does! She made me look like Bridal Barbie in a totally classy and elegant way. When I got to the top of those steps, my husband looked at me the way I dreamt he would....and lets be honest I owe that to Michelle, wink, wink :)

I was lucky enough to have Michelle come do my make-up (and my sister's and my mom's) at the wedding venue and she. was. AMAZING! First of all, it's like hanging out with a good friend. Second, somehow, without meeting any of us beforehand, she seemed to figure out our personalities perfectly and did our make-up in 3 different styles that captured each of us in this way I wouldn't have believed possible. We looked like ourselves! Just..better! (Ok, WAY better.) It was awesome. I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. She was fast, professional, and fun to hang out with.

I had gone to Demiche to get my haircut when I lived in Melrose a few years back and I would always see brides coming in to get their hair and make up trials. They always looked so beautiful and I knew that when my day came I would also use Demiche. I moved out of Melrose but contacted Michelle at Demiche once my wedding day was set to block in a time. I didn't look anywhere else since I had seen first hand how beautiful and natural Michelle made all her brides look. Michelle was always responsive and I never had any doubts how great she would make me look. Even my mother, who is VERY picky about her make up and hair, absolutely loved what Michelle did. On my wedding day Michelle and Michelle both arrived promptly and finished with some time to spare. We had a great time that day! They are professional, fun, accommodating, and very good at what they do. I recommend Demiche with absolutely no reservations! You will be just as happy and beautiful on your wedding day as I was! I promise!

Yvonne did my hair for my wedding - and it looked absolutely amazing. While my trial hair did not come as I had hoped I followed Yvonne's instructions for how to have my hair ready for her on the morning of my wedding day and it was perfect, exactly how I wanted it. I had my hair done at 1:30 pm and it was still beautiful at 3 am when I finally went to sleep.

Let me start by saying that Michelle is THE BEST! Before I found Demiche, I had previously hired another hair/make-up artist for my wedding on October 1st. After two separate trials and not feeling satisfied, I started looking for someone better...and my prayers were answered when I found Michelle. I had 5 separate hair trials with Michelle, 4 of them with a different hair style and look that I thought I might want. Each style came out absolutely gorgeous, which made my decision making that much harder. Michelle was a joy to be around and my Mom and I always joked that we wanted to adopt her into our family. One of the things I appreciated most about Michelle was her honesty. She would share her true thoughts and opinions with me about my hair and make-up style, and it let me know that she would do everything in her power to make me look my absolute best for my wedding. She is a wonderful person to be around and during the stressful moments of my wedding day, she was a calming force in the room. Michelle and her assistant had eleven women in my bridal party who needed up-dos the day of my wedding. They were extremely professional and executed each of the girl’s looks perfectly. My hair and make-up were elegant and flawless; Michelle made me feel like a princess! Thank you Demiche and Michelle, for making me feel truly beautiful on my wedding day. You are not going to find a better hair/make-up artist in the Boston area!

Choosing Michelle from Demiche for my wedding hair and makeup was such a good decision and I am so thankful I found her! I left finding a stylist later than I had hoped, so it was only about 2 months before my wedding when I contacted Michelle, and only 5 days before I was coming to Massachusetts for a flying weekend visit. I asked if there was any way I could have a hair and makeup trial, and she was just so flexible and squeezed me right in on the day and time I was available. She made me feel so comfortable, listening exactly to the style and look I wanted, and was so patient and reassuring. I felt like a million bucks after seeing the results of the trial - which she'd taken inspiration from photos I brought along. The day of the wedding, she and Yvonne showed up bang on time, looking amazing, which one of my bridesmaids pointed out was so professional. It made all the bridesmaids feel really good and relaxed to know that women with real style were making them up. We had a mishap during the hair styling, with an actual fire breaking out in the living room from one of the kids accidentally causing a candle flame to catch onto tissue paper, and through it all, Michelle and Yvonne just made me feel so calm despite the real-life emergency taking place around us. And the bottom line is I have never felt more beautiful from what Michelle did with my hair and makeup, and people kept telling me it all looked amazing. The bridesmaids all felt great, as did my mom and mother-in-law, and the work was excellent. So, if you're looking for the kind of service that won't disappoint, I would definitely choose these guys! They are so talented, patient and reassuring, and the money is money 100% well spent.

I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience with Demiche. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle and Yvonne and in one word, they were AMAZING.
When it comes to hair and make-up, I am completely ignorant. Seriously, I’m lucky I can tell the difference between a tube of mascara and lip gloss (I kid, slightly!) So as a bride, my biggest fear was that I wasn’t going to look like myself. When Michelle got through with me, I looked and felt like a million bucks. The best part though, it looked natural. I was still me, just extra fabulous. The same can be said for my bridesmaids and my mom. They looked stunning.
Michelle and Yvonne took our ideas to the next level. They are both incredibly talented and worked with such ease it was impressive. We were all picture perfect the entire day and well into the wee hours of the night/next morning.
I would recommend Michelle and her team to anyone. They were professional, warm and engaging, and just an absolute pleasure to work with.
GUEST




I highly recommend Demiche! Yvonne, Kelly, and Heidi did hair and make-up for 11 of the female guests from my wedding (including myself) and each one of the ladies raved about their hair and make-up. Hair was perfect! Make-up was perfect! And both of them lastest way after the party was over (and that included over four hours of dancing the night away!). Yvonne, Kelly, and Heidi also knew how to keep everything chill and fun while we all were getting our hair and make-up done. All of the female guests told me that, besides the wedding itself, the time we spent getting our hair and make-up done was one of the most fun. You truly cannot go wrong choosing Demiche!
GUEST




I got married on one of the hottest days of the summer and my makeup was flawless. Michelle understood what I wanted right away and executed it perfectly. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, fast, and a joy to be around.
GUEST




Michelle did my and all of my bridesmaids' hair. She did such an amazing job. It was the first wedding I've been a part of where none of the bridesmaids changed their hair after having it done (so glad it was for my wedding!). She really understood the look we all wanted. Everyone looked modern and beautiful.
GUEST




Michelle was lovely, professional and easy to work with. She created a relaxed atmosphere and made everyone comfortable. Her work was incredible- everyone looked picture perfect for the entire day. I absolutely loved the bridal look she created for me, it was exactly my style. I could not have been more pleased with Demiche!
GUEST




Michele did my hair & makeup for me and my whole bridal party. We looked so amazing on this special day. Michele and her staff are professional and completed request on a timely manner.
GUEST




I never review anything, but Michelle and her team are wonderful. Besides the fact that they are very sweet and calm (good for a bride :O ) they really do outstanding work. I met with Michelle for a run-through and communicated a vision that I ultimately did a 360 on. I thought I wanted pretty dramatic and then changed my mind - to soft hair and make-up. Well, she is amazing at both extremes. I spoke with her days before my wedding - on the phone - and told her of the new idea. I did not see her again until the morning of my wedding and she did not require any further discussion - she did exactly what I had wanted. This team is professional, creative, customer-pleasing and also - they are just - nice! I am really very happy that I found Michelle.
GUEST




Demiche is the best place for hair and makeup!!! I was so happy with everything they helped with!! I recommend them to everyone that is getting married!!
GUEST




I contacted Michelle just five weeks before my wedding after the trial with my planned stylist didn't come jout as I had hoped. She answered me very quickly and even with the short notice was able to set me and my mother up with Yvonne hair and makeup for the wedding.
I gave the value for cost five stars even though it was more than some other places I looked into because it was worth every penny! My mom and I both loved our hair and makeup. The style lasted all night and so many people commented on how great my hair looked.
I am thrilled with how everything turned out!!
GUEST




I was so lucky to find Michelle in the weeks before my wedding and even luckier that she was still available. I met Michelle in her studio and immediately felt very confident that she know the direction I wanted to go in with my hair for my wedding. I had been for a couple other hair trials before and always left frustrated. Michelle worked magic and I was 100% confident on my decision. On wedding day, she came to our hotel in Boston to get myself, my mom, and the bridesmaids ready. Michelle was on time, kept us right on track, and was really a pleasure to work with. She and her coworker really added to the excitement and fun in the room the morning of the wedding. I would highely recommend Michelle and her team!
GUEST




From the moment I met Michelle, I knew that she would just brighten up my wedding day. Her sweetness put me instantly at ease and was a breath of fresh air, since I have been in bridesmaid situations where the hair stylists are sometimes pushy or even rude to the bride. After my hair and makeup trial with Michelle, I knew her presence would calm me down and her expertise would have me looking and feeling beautiful. On the wedding day, I had Michelle and her assistant Yvonne come to our hotel to do hair for 7 bridesmaids and 2 moms and both hair and makeup for me. I felt her prices were very fair compared with other stylists in the area. We all had a blast! Everyone loved both of them and I personally have never felt lovelier. Sure enough, those hours of preparation set the tone for the day. I was calmer and more collected than I would have been with someone less professional and less encouraging than Michelle. She made me look natural but also elegant and bridal as one should on that special day!
GUEST




Laura did my makeup for my October wedding and was amazing! She was so much fun and made sure that everything about my makeup was absolutely perfect. I wanted my makeup to look natural but kicked up a step and that's exactly what Laura provided. My husband didn't even realize that I had false eyelashes on because they looked so natural. I would recommend Laura to any bride. She was worth every penny!
GUEST




Demiche beaute' provided my entire bridal party and myself with absolutely gorgeous make-up. Michelle and her co-worker traveled to my wedding destination in Topsfield (nevertheless during the Topsfield fair traffic) arrived promptly on time, were very professional, and extremely nice. I had met Michelle for a make-up trial prior to my wedding to satisfy my own nerves, but I definately did not need a trial. She knew exactly what I wanted within minutes of chatting. The colors of my make-up were perfectly chosen for my skin type as well as to highlight the colors of my wedding. The make-up lasted well throughout the night. My bridal party loved their make-up as well. I would have definately used them for hair too if I did not have a family member as a hairdresser who wanted to take part in the wedding too. Both Michelle and her coworker were able to handle a large group of people in a short period of time and not once did I see a sign of stress. Their calm sense helped me stay calm. I highly recommend Demiche beaute' for any brides wedding.
GUEST




Michelle and her team at Demiche are amazing!! They are so professional, talented, and fun to work with. We laughed and had the greatest time from the trial to the wedding day. Michelle really listened to the look I wanted to achieve, took into account my hair texture and features, provided helpful suggestions, and delivered a look that I was 100% happy with. Her team took care of hair and makeup for me, my mother and mother in law, as well as my five bridesmaids and every single one of us were thrilled with the results. Thank you so much, Michelle and Demiche, for making my hair and makeup visions a reality!!!
GUEST




During my makeup trial with Michelle, she went out of her way to ask me about my vision for the big day and was very good about listening to what was most important to me in terms of my look. On the day of the wedding, Michelle showed up exactly on time and had plenty of time to do the makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. She had a very calm presence admist the chaos of our hotel suite which was fantastic and everyone LOVED their final look! Thanks Michelle!
GUEST




To quote my wife..."Michelle was fabulous. She kept me happy and calm with my pre-wedding jitters...My makeup and hair looked fabulous!" I thought my wife looked amazing... 5 Stars from both of us!!!
GUEST




Michelle and her staff did a wonderful job doing hair and makeup for my daughters wedding. She is so easy and fun to work with.She applies makeup that looks beautiful but also very natural. my daughter looked so beautiful,but over done and heavy handed. She made everyone look very elegant,with great ideas for our hair. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend her ,and I would use her again and again doesn't occasion. She is truly a fabulous find.
GUEST




A month before my wedding the woman I hired to do my makeup bailed on me. I found Demiche doing a local search. I took my maid of honor with me and went for a trial with Michelle. I told her I wanted my makeup to look simple, yet elegant. She did an amazing job!! The day of my wedding she came to my moms house and did my bridal party. We all looked AMAZING.. I would recommend her to anyone!
GUEST




Demiche worked with me from the very beginning. They took my ideas from clippings in magazines for my wedding hairstyle/makeup and combined them into something that not only I loved but my family as well. I loved my hair and make-up from the trial run that we had done a month previous. I had no worries or hesitations on my wedding day because I knew what to expect from the Demiche crew. They are willing to travel too, which makes your wedding day preparations easier. Michelle and her crew are nothing short of fabulous.
GUEST




I have had my hair and makeup done at Demiche for three different formal events. I always leave the salon happy and looking my best. At the end of each night, I have been happy to find my hair and makeup looking just they did when I left the salon. Yvonne and Michelle are always fun and friendly, and I would recommend Demiche to any bride.
GUEST




I would highly recommend Michelle. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she did an amazing job. She listened to what I invisioned and made it better than I imagined! I was worried about how my makeup would hold up, but it held up beautifully! I got a ton of compliments and all the pictures came out beautifully!
GUEST




I was referred to Demiche by a friend of mine I was a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding and needed someone to do my hair and makeup. I went to Demiche before the wedding and liked what they could do, my sister that got married, another sister and mother and grandmother all used Demiche for the wedding. Everyone at the wedding could not stop talking about how wonderful we looked and wanted to know where we got everything done. Since the wedding I have returned to Demiche on many occassions most recently for my high school reunion. Their professional demeanor and the flexibility to work around us were another main reason that we choose to use Demiche on this special day.
GUEST




I love what Michelle did for me on my wedding day she did my hair just the way I wanted it and my makeup was awesome I look very beautiful on my day and Michelle made that happen... I would recommend her to anybody.... She also made me feel comfortable and vey happy on my wedding day :)
GUEST




When my sister was getting married there was only one person that could do our hair and makeup, Michelle from Demiche. She did not only my hair and makeup but my sisters, my mother and my grandmothers. We looked beautiful and got lots of raves at the wedding. I also have gone to Demiche for other services and other occasions like my high school reunion and just when I need a haircut or my eyebrows done, which are Michelle's specialty.. I have recommened many people to Demiche. I also enjoy the staff at Demiche, like Yvonne who makes my visit more enjoybale.
GUEST




Michelle did my make up for my daugthers wedding and was amazed at how many people noticed the makeup .She also did my 2 daugthers hair and makeup that were in the wedding and they got compliments all night about the way that they looked the best part was the bride my other daugther she looked beautiful walking down the aisle with her dad . I would recommend Demiche to anyone thats wants to look beautiful on their wedding day and even to the mother's of the bride she will do a great job
GUEST




I first meet Michelle when I was in my cousins wedding. She did our make up. She did a fabulous job I never felt so pretty. So when I got engaged I knew that I needed her to do my make for my big day, she also did my whole bridal party. Everyone was very pleased. One of the girls in my wedding has since got engaged and has booked Michelle for her wedding. Michelle does great work and if she does your makeup you will never feel so pretty!
GUEST




Michelle at Demiche provided hair service for my mother, my sister and me for my wedding on May 23, 2009. I met Michelle at her salon prior to my wedding for a consultation and trial hair style. After meeting Michelle for the initial appointment, I was thrilled with the results and felt very confident for my wedding day. She is professional, warm and talented. She arrived on-time, with her equipment, and was ready to start and finish on schedule while keeping the atmosphere very relaxed. We were extremely pleased with our hair styles on the big day. I recommend Michelle 110%!
GUEST




Demiche provided hair and make up services for my wedding, including the bridal party which included 2 children. My hair and makeup (which was done by Michelle) was absolutely fabulous. I felt like a princess! She made sure that everything ran smoothly and that no one was rushed for time. She even helped out a friend of mine who was having trouble with her hair even though she was not scheduled. I HIGHLY recommend their services. You will not be disappointed!
GUEST




Michele and her team from Demiche did my hair and makeup and hair and makeup for my 7 bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law. They came to the house which was soooo much more relaxing on wedding morning than going to a salon. Michele always answered my emails quickly and they were on time on wedding day- which was very important when all those people had to be done by noon! They were great! Professional, but at the same time really sweet and friendly. They made my mother (who had never had her hair or makeup done) feel extremely comfortable. And most important of all, I LOVED the way my hair and makeup turned out!! It was classy, elegant, and stayed in place from 10am to midnight! Everyone looked beautiful and everyone was happy! I would highly recommend them to others (in fact, one of my bridesmaids is using them for her upcoming wedding).
GUEST




I would highly recommend using Demiche for hair and make-up on your wedding day because they are prompt, professional and committed to proving excellent results. As a bride, you want to look perfect on your big day, and that's exactly how I felt after they were done. Yvonne worked with me until every hair was exactly how I envisioned and I couldn't have been happier. Everyone else in my wedding party/family who used them were also greatly satisfied. A++
GUEST




Michelle was WONDERFUL! We had a great hair and makeup trial run together, she put me completely at ease, and listened exactly to what I wanted, suggesting things along the way that I hadnt thought of. On the big day, she and her assistant made my bridal party and I look beautiful and blended completely with all my friends. Highly recommend!!
GUEST




Kelly was fabulous! She was patient. She did our hair and makeup. We looked like the most beautiful versions of ourselves...but we still looked like us. Our hair and makeup stayed in place all night. I would highly recomend them!!
GUEST




We worked with Yvonne for on-site hair and she was fabulous. I chose to wear my hair down, and her styling gave it just the right amount of polish without looking overly "done." She also styled my bridesmaids hair, and each style was beautiful and well executed (no prom hair or stiff up-dos). She was very professional and understanding of each person's unique requests and preferences. I would highly recommend her to other brides.
GUEST




Michelle, the owner, was wonderful to work with. I normally wear very little make-up so I was a little nervous to have my make-up done but was also very excited to try it. Michelle did such an amazing job and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She was very calming and fun on the wedding day too which helped with the nerves! I would highly recommend Michelle to everyone for make-up.
GUEST




Michelle did my hair and make-up for a pre-wedding photo shoot. She did an AMAZING job! She made me look glamourous, yet natural. She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her services to anyone!
GUEST




Michelle was great!!! Her makeup skills are exceptional, she made made me feel and look like a princess on my special day. Her make-up aid wa also very professional and great. They both made my bridal party feel very comfortable and listened to how each of us wanted our make-up done.
GUEST




Michelle from Demiche was amazing! Everything turn out beautiful! Thank you!
GUEST




Michelle did the hair and makeup at my wedding in July 2010. Michelle is extremely talented at both hair and makeup, and everyone looked BEAUTIFUL! Michelle really understands what will look good on people. She convinced my mom that both an updo (my mom has very short hair and thought she needed to leave it down) and red lipstick (which she never wears) would look good on her, and she was SO right! She worked equally well with everyone's hair, and managed to put my maid of honor's very fine hair into an updo that lasted the entire night!
I was even more impressed with just how much FUN Michelle and her assistant Heidi made our time together! They "fit in" with everyone SO well on the day of my wedding, and kept my mom and I at ease until the very end! It was like hanging out with best friends, despite it being our second time meeting! I would recommend her to anyone!
GUEST




Very professional; amazing make up artist; would definitely recommend
GUEST




I would highly recommend Yvonne with Demiche. She was fun and pleasant to work with and listened to what I wanted. She was the best! And my hair looked fabulous!
GUEST




I was very happy with the hair and makeup that Michelle provided for myself, my bridesmaids and my mother. She was easy to work with, professional and kind. However, I think the cost of these services, especially for the bride, were very expensive.
Let's put it this way, if I were a woman, I would trust my hair and make up to Demiche. I've known the companies owner for over a decade and can honestly say that she's a smart business woman and a talented make up artist & hair stylist. As a dj I've seen the results of her company's work. many beautiful brides ready for the camera and the most important party of their life.
The ladies at Demiche are simply fabulous!! They do an amazing job on our clients and our Brides are left looking simply breathtaking! Tupper Manor is glad to have Demiche as our preferred hair & makeup artists!
Michelle is a total professional when it come to makeup and hair, and I LOVE working with her. I have recommended her to numerous clients, and have seen her work her magic on the wedding day. She is able to have fun conversations with the bridal party, while putting together a flawless face or an up-do that will last all night. She can also definitely handle larger bridal parties with the help of an assistant, and will travel to you! I highly highly recommend her =)
Style! Style! Style! Complete professional service for the bride, the bridal party or a dazzling make-over. Whether you make an appointment at the shop in Melrose or set-up the pre-ceremony home/hotel service, you will look your best ... with a visit from Demiche.
We recommend DEMICHE to all our clients! They are professional and deliver a high-end product.
Michelle is SUCH a joy to work with. As a wedding & portrait photographer I've worked with a lot of make-up artists, and I have to say she's on the top of my list! I've worked with her on several occasions and I know the clients were always VERY happy with their looks and the photos came out amazing. Not only is her work amazing, but she is also very professional and always on time + the make-up stays, even a couple of hours into the shoot.
I'd recommend her anytime!
Delightful team of professionals, caring, creative and wonderful to work with...Always get rave reviews.

FAQ for Demiche
Why is it important to hire a professional makeup artist if I dont wear makeup?
If you dont hire a professional makeup artist, you could look washed out, shiny, & blotchy in photos that will last a lifetime. Regardless of how great your skin is, it needs some foundation for photography. Applying your own makeup can be disastrous. You could look tired and worn out on the day you want to radiate! Some brides will attempt to do their own and do not think of the pictures. If you go to a professional makeup artist they will be able to give you exactly what you want and make you picture perfect.
Why hire a Demiche Makeup and Hair Artist?
Demiche artists work professionally in the industry & all have a minimum of ten years experience in makeup & hair for photo shoots, television, film, pageants, weddings, etc. Our artists will give you what you want, not what they want. They work with you to design a personalized look. They dont do the same thing on every bride. Demiche artists are trained to work with every age group, hair type, & ethnic background.
Will my makeup last?
If you go to a professional artist, your makeup will last throughout the duration of your wedding. The only thing that needs a touch-up is lipstick, so be sure to purchase one for your purse.
Will my hairstyle stay in?
If you go to someone who specializes in styling, it will last. At Demiche, we guarantee that your hair will stay for the duration of your wedding.
When should I book my wedding hair and makeup artist?
