Go Glam Beauty™ The Premiere Bridal Beauty Agency Serving NY, NJ, CT.

Joann is a true artist. She did a fantastic job with both hair and makeup. Her assistants were also really great. All the bridesmaids looked really beautiful and I loved the look she gave me as well. She was also willing to work with me on the price, since I planned to chip in for a lot of the bridesmaids, which is why I chose her to begin with. I highly recommend her services.

I used go glam beauty for my wedding. They did my hair and make up, and make up for my whole wedding party. I could not have been happier. They were on time and extremely professional throughout the whole process. Joanne made me feel so confident, comfortable and beautiful. She answered all my calls and questions and dealt with any picky members of my wedding party with a smile. I would recommend them to anyone.

Joann did such a wonderful job on my wedding makeup! She's such a professional and extremely knowledgeable about everything beauty related. She has a great personality and was so easy to be around which really calms a brides nerves! I have already told all my friends about her and her services and will definitely use her again if I have to get glam for something!

Where do I begin! First off, I was military bride so needless to say I did not have limitless resources for my wedding, let alone a makeup artist.
Joann was a God send, I didn't even start looking for a makeup artist until about 4/5 months before my wedding day. Despite my late start I still had specific requests of what I did and did not want and how much I could spend. Often when you are looking for a wedding makeup artist you tend to get a lot of the same thing, which is nice but definately too safe for my personal taste. I wanted jaws to drop when my wedding party and I walked down the aisle. When I first spoke with Joanne she completely understood what I was asking for and was able to set a budget I could work with. She has such a keen eye and great knowledge for the art of cosmetology. I was over the moon with the results of the makeup trial. She did a consultation of my skin type and suggested a skin care routine that would help my skin glow its brightest on my wedding day. She is very warm and open, never once did I feel uncomfortable suggesting she tweak "this or that" to my liking. Her experience with professionals in the high fashion industry shines through in her work.
I never had any trouble getting in contact with her, whether it was via phone or email she was responsive and timely. She was on time to the hotel suite to start hair and makeup for my wedding party and myself, despite her long travel on a holiday :). I actually only contacted Joann for her makeup services but during the consulation she played around with my hair a bit to give me a more clear understanding of how my complete look would be on my wedding day. I loved what she did so much just while "playing" around with my hair, i decided to book her for my hair service as well :).
I received so many compliments on my final look for the day and most importantly my husband LOVED it. I felt so chic, glamorous and beautiful, I could not have been more happy with her services. Joann is a diamond in the ruff her skill level and knowledge is HIGH. If you want a truly individual and timeless look on your wedding day please contact her you will not be dissapointed.

I was married on 10/8/2011 and used Go Glam Beauty for my Hair and Makeup. I had previously had problems with other companies because I had a small wedding party. That was no problem with Joann and her team. I even had a last minute time change and JoAnn herself came out on time to do me and my MOH hair and Makeup. I never had any worries. I was always able to contact her with no problems. She would respond to my emails within minutes. Excellent service all around! I would recommend her to future brides.

I love Joann! I just got married September 24, 2011 and she did an awesome job! We were on a time crunch and she did my hair and makeup and my three bridesmaids and my mother all in time for my wedding! We all received so many compliments and I was 100percent satisfied with my look. I felt so pretty,which is important for a bride :) I also loved the fact that she traveled to my hotel where I was staying. She was warm friendly and professional. Go Glam Beauty Rocks!

The party started when JoAnn arrived at my hotel room! She was positive, attentive, creative, diligent, flexible, professional, patient and hilarious. The atmosphere in the room was fun and carefree, everything I wanted. I decided that I wanted a different hairstyle than what we did for the trial. JoAnn listened to my preferences and worked with me until it was exactly how I wanted it to be. I can’t thank her enough for her patience with me and my unruly hair. She truly calmed me down during that time.
JoAnn’s make-up abilities matched her hair expertise. I loved how my make-up looked and how light it felt. My mom, mother-in-law, bridesmaids (5), and flower girl all looked amazing and were also very pleased with the outcome! I received so many compliments that day on both my hair and make-up. I couldn’t have felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day!

JoAnn did PHENOMENAL make-up for my bridesmaids, mother, and myself on my wedding day! She was easy to work with and really listened to all of our concerns. My mother was originally very skeptical about having her make-up done, but JoAnn made her a true believer!

JoAnn's optimism and humor are truly infectious, which every bride could use on her wedding day! She helped to keep everyone calm and in good spirits. JoAnn even did the hair of one of my bridesmaids at no extra charge when we were in a time crunch (and it looked awesome). I received so many compliments on her work.

If all this wasn't enough, JoAnn came at a very fair price, which is hard to find when planning a wedding in NYC.

JoAnn was awsome!!!!!!!!! She was very attentive and patient with me and my bridal parties. I had two trials both hair and makeup. She suggested that if I was not happy with the first trial and I can come back to do it again. I really didn't mind b/c I wanted the make up and the hair to be perfect. For the 2nd trial, she took her time and it was exactly how I picture it in my mind. She was an hour early on the day of the wedding and made me look perfect for my special. My hubby and everyone else loved the makeup/hair. I received so many compliments that day and still now when people look at the wedding pictures. Great work JoAnn.

I only met JoAnn the morning of my wedding as I had travelled from England to marry in NewYork. My bridesmaid and I didnt have a picture of what makeup and hair style we wanted, we just gave her a rough idea and she went to work on us and the results were FANTASTIC!!! My bridesmaid and I were complimented all day and when friends and family saw the photos they loved the style JoAnn had created for us. I cant thank her enough, she is AMAZING. Its like your sitting with a great friend when you are with her, she puts you at ease and we had a great laugh together. Every step of the way JoAnn kept intouch with me in the uk. She is professional, yet like a friend. If you want a truly flawless and glamorous look for your wedding day, look no further JoAnn will create that look for you.

JoAnn was a lot of fun to work with. She not only made me & my girls look beautiful, she also kept the mood lively by chatting & joking with us which eased all our jitters. She did a fantastic job on my hair & makeup - I lost count of how many people told me how great I looked. I felt gorgeous & was sad to take off my makeup at the end of the night. JoAnn was also very professional. She showed up early and was flexible when we ended up adding 2 more people to get their hair & makeup done at the last minute. If you want to look amazing & have someone fun doing it, JoAnn is your girl. She is a true professional & you can't go wrong with her.

Joann arrived earlier than schedule which assured me my day was going to be perfect. She was very nice and easy to work with. She always kept the conversation flowing which was great for my nerves. Thanks for that!!!!!! We were late as it took longer than expected to do hair and make-up but she was a perfectionist and I looked gorgeousssss!!! I would like to consider it being very fashionably late! She took care of my mom and made her glamerous! Over all, Joann was GREAT! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Joanne is simply great! Not only does she do amazing work with hair and makeup, she is also a pleasure to be around. She is meticulous, detail oriented and great with color. She did my makeup for a city hall wedding and then again for a ceremony & reception with friends and family. She perfectly captured my vision for each, transforming me both times into the best version of myself. I highly recommend her for her expertise, as well as her sweet and funny personality!

I would like to think I was an overall calm bride who did not stress the process too much. But I did care a great deal about my hair, and very much not wanting to look back at my pictures regretting the style I had chosen. I was introduced to Joann through a referral, and from the start she was incredibly professional and easy to set up a trial with. I loved my hair at the trial, and enjoyed getting to know her better. A few months had past and I had second thoughts on putting up hair all up, and instead decided a half updo would be best (and then changed my mind a few times over). Joann totally put me at ease that on the day of the wedding we could figure it out. Her final product surpassed my expectations, and to boot it held through out the whole night of intense dancing! She has an excellent ability to come up with a vision that matches the client to a T.

She was AMAZING!! JoAnn arrived ahead of time and did an amazing job. I got so many compliments and still continue to get compliments on my photos. I would recommend her to everyone.

JoAnn did a fantastic job doing my hair and makeup for my wedding (as well as the hair and makeup of my mom....which was no small task, I might add). She is a super talented and extremely responsible, and showed up promptly on time (both at the trial as well as the day of...and even braved a wicked snow storm to do a trial for my mom). I felt great the day of and people kept telling me how beautiful I looked...and my mom looked stunning as well. I mean really stunning. My mom has very thin hair and was very concerned about her hair looking full, so JoAnn created weaves for her, and my mom looked like a super model. To boot, JoAnn is fun to work with, and proved herself to be very energetic and funny (telling jokes throughout our time spent together). I highly recommend her services!

The girl is SOLID!!! I wasn't looking & feeling my best & was freaking out all morning on the big day. JoAnn shows up like an angel from GoGlam heaven & did absolute MAGIC!!! M-A-G-I-C*
No one knew i hadn't slept for days..Thanks Jo for saving the day!!! (tears))

I found JoAnne on wedding wire and I am so glad I did! She was fun, confident and had me looking like a million bucks. I was on a budget and she was able to do what I wanted and all my girls and my mother with what I could afford. Her assistant Kari (or carrie) was amazing and my girls loved her. We all looked so beautiful and it was a great experience to work with them. A lot of fun! Highly recommend!

Joann was a pleasure to work with as I hired her services for my wedding hair and makeup. She is open minded to understand exactly the look I wanted. She is not on her own agenda of what she thinks is best, she listened to MY ideas to execute what I envisioned. That is true professionalism and serving her customer. The last thing a bride wants on her wedding day is to feel awkward about saying what she does and doesn't like. Joann doesn't take anything personally and worked with me to get everything just right. The end result was beautiful. The products she uses are top of the line and she has little tricks for hair and makeup that only a professional with years of experience could know. She was punctual, fair priced and on top of it all a genuine sweetheart. I highly recommend her for picky and particular NYC area brides (like myself!)

Joann was simply amazing! There is no other way that I can desribe her and my experience. She was professional and pleasant. She has a great personality and made me feel so at ease and right at home. She had a great ear and listened to what I wanted and with her expertise made it even better. The extensions were flawless. They matched my hair seamlessly. If you want great service, someone who is meticulous, client focused and consistent in delivering; look up Joann!

JoAnn at Go Glam Beauty was absolutely phenomenal on my wedding day. I did a trial with her and was hooked, I have very fine hair and she made this gorgeous full looking bun out of nothing!! On my wedding day she did all of my bridesmaids hair and makeup including the mother's of the bride and groom. Everyone looked beautiful and natural. No one looked like they had heavy makeup on (because they didn't). Everyone felt very comfortable and happy with her styles and techniques. JoAnn is amazing. I will recommend her services to anyone who is getting married or has a big upcoming event in their lives!

JoAnn was amazing!!! The morning of my wedding I was a wreck. I hadn't slept the night before due to anixety and I had a fight with my bridesmaids hours before my wedding which left me in tears. JoAnn came in with her calming presence and took me from a puffy eyed mess and made me look FANTASTIC!! I received so many compliments on my makeup. She listened to everything that I told her I wanted and made it better than what I envisioned. She is professional, funny, and brings a great spirit to the room.

THANK YOU JOANN. I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE YOU PICTURES FOR YOUR WEBSITE!YOU DO AMAZING WORK!

Make-up was done by Joann for my wedding June 2010. So she was absolutely amazing and incredibly professional! Professionalism and pride in ones job is truly important to me and it is obvious that she takes pride in what she does and is well trained.

My initial meeting was after a 30 hr shift (I'm a resident and chronically tired). We met at her studio for test run so she could she my facial structure and skin type. Prior to meeting she actually asked for photos of my face and dress, which kind of impressed me, as it showed she was serious. Aft test session, my makeup was flawless and I actually looked well rested, which aft no sleep is amazing.

For my wedding, Joanne was very prompt and brought an assistant for skin prep and airbrushing. She did my make-up, my 5 bridesmaids and my mother. My bridesmaids were multi-ethnic incl blond with very fair skin, asian with olive skin, light complexion african american and ebony skin tones and they were all flawless. The make-up also lasted through the night and withstood dancing and eating without touch-ups. The photos look great. I got the full works incl false eyelashes, which looked real. I am not a makeup person and I looked exactly how I wanted which was dressed up but still natural. Highly recommend Joann for any skin type.

Wow, what can I say. JoAnn herself is a wonderful kind hearted person who's drive is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful on your big day. She did just this for me on my wedding day. She not only listened to my comments of how i wanted to look on my day but she made my whole vision come to life and I couldn't of asked to look more beautiful, and all the compliments I got helped too. I also hired her to perform her makeup skills on my mom. My mom she did not meet till the day of the wedding. When it came to her makeup my mom nor I had any guidelines as to how we wanted her to look. JoAnn just did her thing and took into consideration my moms dress and the color of it. In the end JoAnn made her feel spoiled and beautiful. Thank you so much JoAnn for all your fantastic work. If I ever need my makeup done professionally again I will surely be calling you and with out a doubt I would recommend your service to anyone looking.

The day started a bit behind schedule; JoAnn was stuck in traffic - guess not everyone was out of the city for the long weekend. Fortunately, she got to me fairly quickly and we had factored in plenty of extra time so things worked out. She was efficient and because we had a trial before, she knew exactly how to get my hair going and do my make-up as we previously practiced.

My MOH didn't have a trial, but I did send her photos and allowed my MOH to decide what colors she wanted. Being only 23, JoAnn incorporated a nice twist to the updo styles I was trying to achieve and my MOH loved it. And the make-up was clean and age appropriate. We made it all night looking great and got nothing but complements by everyone (and I do mean everyone).

The value far exceeded anything I feel like I would have gotten from the usual make-up and hair folks that get press here and elsewhere, and big plus - JoAnn can do all hair types (I am Black, my MOH is biracial). I'd highly recommend and if I ever need an event do and/or make-up, she'll be my first choice.

JoAnn great make up artist I RECOMMEND.

I got the natural, classic look as a bride.

Pros: 1. JoAnn has a great personality, very warm, welcoming and professional.
2. Competitive prices for NYC market.
3. She does Hair & Make Up
4. Uses air brushing for foundation
5. Her word is gold, she commits to what she says and is reliable.
6. Easy to get a hold of.

Cons: 1. She's a busy woman, so you may need to be flexible with your times if
you're getting a trial.
2. Couple miscommunications via e-mail, but was easily resolved over the
phone.
3. She has a strong sense of who she is as an artist, so this could be a con if
you have differing styles.

6 months into the planning process, my fiancé and I decided to elope. We settled on New York (I'm from Los Angeles, my fiancé is from St. Paul), since it was neutral territory. Even though we were no longer having a traditional wedding, I knew I wasn't completely off the hook when it came to the planning process. I still needed a photographer, a hotel, dinner reservations, a bouquet, hair and makeup...all being coordinated from across the country! I can't tell you how thankful I am to have found JoAnn (on Weddingwire, no less). She showed up at our hotel, bright and early, to make me beautiful for my courthouse wedding. My dress had a very 'Mad Men'esque vibe, so JoAnn gave me fabulous retro makeup, and a cute do to match! Just the other day, we received the proofs from the photographer, and I couldn't be more pleased with how my makeup and hair turned out (and it held up, even through tears!) If you're a New York bride, do yourself a favor and book the date with JoAnn (but do it soon...she's a popular gal; I lucked out with having a Tuesday wedding!)

JoAnn was amazing! I don't know where to begin. I had tried a different hair and makeup person and was so disappointed, that I began searching and found JoAnn. She was so personable, kind, funny and really understood what I wanted for my wedding. She took a look at a picture that I brought, my wedding dress and jewelry and really constructed a great look based on everything I told her. I was SO happy with how everything turned out. On my wedding day, she was early, which was awesome! My bridesmaids looked amazing and I was super happy with my look. She has such a great personality and was so calming on the actual day, that I can't imagine my wedding day without her!! She even gave all the girls and me a touchup bag for the wedding and reception. I can't recommend her enough!!! !!

Joann did my makeup and hair for my wedding last weekend and I can't describe how happy I was with her work. She was so much fun to get ready with and made my look incredible. I got so many complements and felt like a supermodel. She was also able to do makeup for my mother and sister and some cousins with the help of a hair stylist she works with. We were all very happy and highly recommend them both.

Joanne is hands down the most incredible makeup artist I have ever worked with. I have used Joanne for every occasion in my life - tailoring every look for the event I am attending while always making me look glamorous, yet natural and flawless. For my wedding my makeup was impeccable and not overdone - just a more romantic, beautiful version of myself.

I couldn't recommend Joanne enough - she is amazing !!!

*** For my wedding day I was going for the natural classy look ...  so happy with my look and my pictures looked so good  ..my makup did not change as the night went on ..I looked Like I  just had it done!! Now that's amazing ..no touch up!  I highly recommend all of the above I give it 5+ stars ..  

I was a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding. I thought Joanne was great with everyone member of the bridal party. Even though her assistant had a last minute illness, she professionally attended to the bride and 4 bridesmaids and even touched up the mother of the bride. She did not make us feel she was rushing and interacted with all of us setting us at ease and calming the excited/nervous bride. Everyone's hair looked amazing and hairstyles stayed through the ceremony and reception. The bride's airbrushed makeup was AMAZING!

I was lucky to have JoAnn with me for hair and makeup on my wedding day. Not only did she do my hair and makeup, she also did my 5 bridesmaids as well. Also before she left, she touched up my mom a bit as well. JoAnn was absolutely fabulous to work with. She has an amazing way of putting you at ease and just a lovely personality. I have to admit, I am not so savvy in the makeup department and she knew just what to do. My hair and makeup looked flawless throughout the day and I received so many compliments from everyone. She was a true professional. She came right on time to our bridal suite in the city and added joy to our day. I strongly suggest using JoAnn. Not only did she perform a wonderful job the day off the wedding, we also did a trial. She was very detail oriented. In New York there are so many people to choose from. I was truly lucky to make such a great choice. Book her now, she is amazing!

I knew JoAnn would be awesome when I looked at her website and recognized all the model comp cards I used to flip through for work each day. She did hair/make-up for so many of the shoots on those cards! I knew JoAnn was amazing when she showed up at my hotel room door with her golden smile and warm spirit. And then when she gave me the look that I secretly knew I wanted (I had cut out a photo from a magazine but never showed it to her), I knew she had something special about her. The whole process was completely unpretentious, fun, and easy. I spent a lot of my career making up and styling other people in to fantasies for shoots and fashion shows, and JoAnn made sure to do the same for me and make me as beautiful on my special day. The biggest compliments I received were that even though I was completely glammed out, I still looked like myself, natural and not overdone. Exactly what I was hoping for. Above all, for the quality of work you get from JoAnn, you never once feel like you're being taken advantage of or pushed into a generic bride look. Her hair and make-up skills are every bit as unique as she is as a person and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She is the best.

Joann is someone I highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding! She was so sweet and so warm that I was hoping she was as good as she was nice. I'm usually a bit apprehensive about other people doing my makeup besides for myself since its either usually too much or too little. As a bride it was very difficult to find someone who I completely trust to make me look like a princess on the day of my wedding. We found Joann and all my worries went away, she was so professional and experienced that I knew she'd be great. Joann exceeded my expectations! she did an amazing job on my face as well as my mom, sisters, grandma and aunts. Everyone looked and felt so beautiful and it added so much to my day. Joann listens to what you want and does just that. She knew just how to apply the makeup that it would come out natural but really emphasizing all my good features and it really showed in the pictures too. She was so calm throughout the hectic day that being next to her was relaxing. I tell everyone I know getting married that if they want to look super gorgeous at their wedding that Joann is the one to call.

JoAnn is an amazing makeup artist who made me look (and feel!) the most beautiful I have ever looked/felt in my life. And for my wedding day, that was truly a wonderful thing.

Besides her incredible talent, it's important to mention her gentle manner and overall loveliness. You can imagine the gitters one gets the morning of their wedding. Well not for me. It was JoAnn's calming nature that made me feel so relaxed and at ease.

I couldn't have be more pleased with JoAnn's services...leaving me forever grateful to her! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to truly look their very best, especially for a day they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

If you're getting married in New York don't go to anyone but JoAnn. JoAnn and Carrie did my hair and make-up plus 4 others, her timing was perfect and she was so calm and professional which kept me calm. I arrived in New York 3 days before the wedding and JoAnn met me, creating my look from looking at a photo I provided. She's an absolute miracle worker, our hair and makeup was stunning! Her sense of humour, responsiveness and service were first class. She is highly recommended. WE LOVE YOU JOANN!!! x x x

When I began to search for my makeup artists, I was a bit overwhelmed by the choices and prices. But from the first time I spoke to JoAnn, she made me feel comfortable and was easy to talk to. The big day finally came and my bridesmaids and mother were also doing their hair and makeup. JoAnn and Carrie were so fun to spend the morning with. But most importantly they helped bring out the beauty in each of us. And were patient with the ones that didn't know exactly what they were looking for. And I never felt more beautiful. I would recommend working with JoAnn to anyone! She was awesome!

I found Go Glam Beauty through wedding wire and decided to contact them after many other beauty vendors were already booked on my wedding date. I contacted JoAnn and we hit it off right away. We emailed back and forth for a few weeks about prices, packages, and options and then I booked a hair and makeup trial with her. She took my vague directions flawlessly and made me look absolutely perfect. I booked her immediately after my trial and was looking forward to getting made up on my wedding day for months to come.
When the big day finally arrived, Go Glam went above and beyond all of my expectations. Because of my rather large group, JoAnn brought two other make-up and hair artists with her. I had nightmares all week that they would get stuck in traffic and be really late but all three of them were actually like 15 minutes early to set-up. JoAnn and the other two girls were absolutely wonderful. They were professional, fun, and down to earth - Exactly what I needed on the morning of the wedding! They completely transformed, me, my bridal party, my mother, and several of my aunts. I still get compliments on how gorgeous everyone looked! Although we were running a little bit late, we all still finished in plenty of time and JoAnn even offered to stay late to add in two of my cousins (although didn't end up getting their hair done).
I honestly could not be happier with my hair and make-up team from Go Glam Beauty. I wish that I could have them do my hair and make-up for everything, but as with everything else in New York, it's pretty expensive but definitely worth the money!
I strongly recommend using Go Glam Beauty - You will be in love with the way you look!
Thanks a million JoAnn!
Love,
Patty

JoAnn was fabulous. She came right on time and did an amazing job with my make-up. I was glowing at the end of the night. I also thought her rates were fair. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends.

I found Joann through wedding wire and decided to do a hair and make-up trial with her. She was very easy going and kind and did an amazing job on the trail so I decided to book her for my wedding. Just to give you some background on my wedding: I had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic and then had a post-beach wedding reception in NY. I hired Joann for the NY celebration, but could not afford her for DR. However, I did do a make-up tutorial ($) with her and learned a lot of tricks on how to apply make-up. She also video recorded the training so when I went to DR, I was able to remember the things she taught me. Joann also purchased my make-up supplies for the DR wedding (I provided the $$ and she went out and purchased the stuff). Here is my opinion of her work:

Would I recommend Joann? Absolutely. While I did spend a lot of $$ on hair and make-up, I would do it again. Also, while it is a lot of $$, compared to other hair and make-up artists, Joann is very reasonable. Overall, she was very professional, friendly, attentive to my requests and suggestions and she was a very fun person to be around on my wedding day.

Make-up tutorial: I think every woman should do a make-up tutorial! Learning how to apply make-up correctly, knowing what colors to use and what types of brushes to use during certain application makes a world of difference. It's not that difficult to learn either and you will get compliments continuously. I use cheap elf make-up, but I still get compliments on my make-up and I think it’s because of how I apply it. All of my friends comment on how I have a “glow.” I thought Joann did an amazing job with her instructions. She’s very easy going and easy to work with. You’re the bride and she makes you feel that way. I really enjoyed the time I spent with her. It was a lot of fun. And now, I have a DVD as a cheat sheet for when I apply my make-up. I would highly recommend getting a consultation with her so you can learn: (1) how to apply make-up; (2) what types of hairstyle(s) suit your face; (3) ideal shape of your eyebrows; and (4) what make-up colors compliment your skin tone. Also, one good thing I learned (among other things) is she told me about a really good, but inexpensive, foundation to use that works well with my skin tone. Had I not gone to her, I would have never selected that brand or that color (I’m a woman of color, so it’s difficult to find foundation that matches my skin tone).

(If you’re wondering if I did my own make-up for the DR wedding, I did not. It’s no reflection upon the training that Joann conducted. While I went to DR prepared to do my own make-up, I found a lady at the Hotel Spa who did it for $20. She was inexpensive and did a good job (not as great as Joann, but better than I could’ve done). I did use the make-up Joann had selected and let me tell you this, THAT MAKE-UP WITHSTOOD THE HEAT!!!! I told her I wanted make-up that wouldn’t melt in the Dominican heat and she delivered. I kid you not, with the humidity and hot temperature, it was 100 degrees on my wedding day. I thought I would melt, but my make-up stayed on. Of course, I did have perspiration by my hairline, but overall my make-up looked fresh. Even my photographer commented on how good my make-up looked after 2 hours of taking pictures in the heat.

Bridal hair and make-up: Joann arrived at my hotel in NY. She came prepared with all her brushes, make-up etc. She was very relaxed and funny, so I fed off her energy. I cannot stress again how much she made me feel like a bride. I wasn’t pushy or mean, but if at any time I needed something, she was very appeasing. My make-up turned out great. I wasn’t sitting in front of a mirror when she was applying it, so when I saw the final look, I wasn’t 100% pleased. I had a minor request regarding the blush and she easily and quickly made the adjustment to suit my needs. With respect to my hair, it came out wonderfully and stayed in its position for the entire night. The only comment I would say about hair is this: when I did the trial, I thought I wanted my hair down. But when I went home after the trial and looked at the pictures of my hair, I didn’t think it was the best look. I decided that I wanted an updo, but I didn’t know what would best suit me. I don’t know what’s standard practice with hairstylists, but I thought that to do an updo trial, I would have to pay additional. I don’t know if that’s standard practice or if hairstylists work with you until you identify the hairstyle that you like best. That would be the only thing I would change if I had to do my trial over again. I would request multiple hairstyles so that I can make a more informed decision. But overall, Joann did an amazing job. I was very pleased with her work and I recommend her to all of my friends whether they’re getting married or not.

I had a great time having my hair/makeup trial and it turned out exactly how I imagined it to be. I used her for my hair/makeup as well as my bridesmaids for the day of and again everything looked spectacular. It even held up in the rain. She was funny and sweet and such a joy to have hanging around the house on the big day. I was disappointed that she did arrive later then planned and for that reason I did arrive to my wedding late.

I contracted Joann/Go Glam Beauty to do my hair & makeup (bride) as well as all the females in my bridal party: 8 bridesmaids plus two mothers. Their work was absolutely amazing and everyone was happy with their look. In fact, as a result, 2 bridesmaids now plan to use Go Glam for their own weddings.
I had allowed each girl to select their own 'look' and Joann and her team were able to execute unique styles to suit everyone's vision. I appreciated that they did not try to siphon everyone into 1 or 2 'standard' bridesmaid hairdo's, and were able to execute such a variety of styles. I also appreciated that they took their time on each person, making sure not to take any short cuts so that each girl got to feel equally beautiful.
For myself, the bride, everyone commented that my hair was a 'work of art'. For my trial, i had brough Joann 'inspiration' pictures, and together we were able to come up with a style that suited my vision.. as well as fit my face & personality.
One recommendation for future brides contracting hair/make up services for a large party----give yourselves plenty of time. If your stylist is doing a great job (like Joann) on each person, they will need about an hour per person. A second stylist is a must. We had Carrie as a second stylist and she was SO talented!
In addition to their talents the girls of Go Glam are fun to be around, and def. add fun and energy to the 'getting ready' process!

I thank JoAnn Robertson for making me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. My hair and makeup looked beautiful and looked great in all photos. She's a true professional with a charming personality and I enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend JoAnn to anyone, as she provides great services and offers great prices and will keep her in mind for future events!
Thanks again JoAnn!

JoAnn did an amazing job on all my bridesmaids, as well as my mother and mother to be! She was on time and professional for the entire process!
Her work is exceptional, great value... a true perfectionist. Each person in the bridal party had a different style...I was impressed with the way JoAnn was able to work which each of their individual looks. She made each of them shine that day, and they raved about how long the make-up lasted.
My look was achieved, and I was so happy...my only regret was not having enough time for my look to really set. The lipstick only lasted through the ceremony, and I wasn't given the kit needed to re-touch:(

JoAnn did a great job on myself and my bridesmaids. We all looked gorgeous for my wedding day. She worked with everyone's preferences and comfort level to make sure they were happy with their look.
It was wonderful to have her come to us at the reception site so that we didn't have to spend the morning running from place to place. I recommend using JoAnn's services for your special day!

Joanne did both my hair and makeup for my wedding. She and an assistant also did all 6 of my bridal party, as well as 2 family members. Although the quality of her work came out great and I received plenty of compliments, I wouldn't be able to write this review without mentioning her lateness. She was about 2 hours late on my wedding day. I understand incidents happen but your wedding day is the most important day and you should look your best without stress and feeling rushed. Her assistant was amazing! She worked on all the girls while Joanne worked on me. Despite being 2 hours late, we all arrived at the church on time. She is wonderful to work with and I hope you book her.

PLEASE PLEASE take my experience as a warning and DO NOT use this vendor for your wedding! My initial meeting with JoAnn for a trial went very well. She is defintely a skilled hair and makeup artist. I had contacted her after my previous hair/makeup artist fell through and JoAnn graciously agreed to take on me and 6 bridesmaids and two flowergirls and based on her skills i had no doubt things would look great. I will say that my hair and makeup did look beautiful and that JoAnn was pleasant to work with. There ends any nice comments i have as the rest of my experience was a nightmare. To start, i had booked JoAnn and an assistant and a specific down to the minute timeline had been created in coordination with my wedding planner. The day of JoAnn's assistant announces while im getting my hair and makeup done that she is also working another wedding. (my girls were to be at the church by 330 for photos so how this woman could have booked another gig timewise im not quite sure). I finished first and left the hotel to take pictures with my groom while the rest of the girls cycled in. JoAnn ended up squeezing in another bridesmaid who was not previously on the list (saying it would be no trouble timewise), her assistant LEFT shortly after me and the girls not only didnt make it to the church at 330 for photos but BARELY made the start of our 430 church service!! In fact they were so late they came RUNNING down the block after having $200 in hair and makeup done. I was outraged and SO EMBARRASSED to have put my best girlfriends through that stress and had i known earlier i would have handled it on the spot. To make matters worse, in dealing with JoAnn after the event she refused to make any accomodations despite not providing the services i had paid for as one NOT TWO artists worked on my bridal party and she even lied saying that her assistant had "an emergency" even though her other wedding gig was openly discussed. she then complained that i had paid less than normal and i should be grateful even though the rates were obviously set from our initial meeting and if she didnt want the job she shouldnt have taken it! I would not trust this woman to come through for you and defintely do not recommend using her!!! there are tons of great hair and makeup people out there in NY so please, save yourself the stress and pick someone else as this was the ONLY bad part of my wedding and still taints my otherwise perfect day.

I have photographed weddings twice now in which Go Glam Beauty has been the stylist, and I think they do an absolutely wonderful job. They help keep the bride relaxed, they are in constant communication with the bride about her wishes, and they do a fantastic job of making the bride look stunning - without going overboard on makeup. They keep in consideration how the makeup will look in photographs, which I always appreciate. I highly recommend Go Glam Beauty here on Wedding Wire and on my own web site as well!

I had the pleasure to work with JoAnn from Go Glam Beauty in one of the weddings I shot this year. She and her team were super professional and fun to work with. Her great personality and professionalism made the bride, bridesmaid , mother of the bride and mother-in-law feel relaxed and beautiful.
The bride's hair was GORGEOUS and a work of art. The airbrushed make up FLAWLESS! It was great to work with someone who has an incredible taste and understands beauty so well. Her work is excellent.
I am really looking forward to working with her again.
