HOT MESS STUDIO

All I can say is ‘wow!’ Tara and her staff are masters at hair and make-up! I went to Tara for one trial and that was all it took- she nailed the look I was going for, and I completely trusted her from there on out. Tara and her staff are extremely professional. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the morning of my wedding - they were timely and worked to keep everyone on schedule – which is no small task when you’re styling a bride, a mother of the bride and mother of the groom, flower girl and 6 bridesmaids! There was one point in time where the room got a little chaotic, and Tara was sweet enough to keep me calm. Tara and her team are experienced with weddings, and she even worked with my photographer to make sure he got the pictures of myself and the girls getting ready. Everyone’s make-up and hair came out beautiful – we were complemented all day! The staff worked with each girl to make sure they were happy. Not only was the hair and make-up beautiful, but it lasted ALL DAY. I started getting ready at 9 in the morning and didn’t end the day until almost 3 in the morning, and my hair and make-up was still in place.
Go for Hot Mess if you want to look (and feel) your best on your wedding day!!!

Tara did a great job with mine, my sister's and my mom's hair. She helped me to pick out the perfect updo during our trial and executed it perfectly on my wedding day . It stayed in place all night even with all the dancing I did and looked beautiful!

Marcie and Tara were great. I got married in a monsoon and my hair didn't frizz all day:)

The hair and makeup team at Hot Mess Studio in Asbury Park Nj were simply amazing in every way possible. After hearing rave reviews about them in numerous sites on the web we knew we had to have them! The Hot Mess team traveled two and a half long hours to arrive at the estate and cathedral where the wedding was being held. Due to the distance, it honestly had us all alittle nervous for our time sake. Nevertheless, the moment we noticed their arrival promptly at the time expected of them, our worries dissappeared. Not only were they punctual(early actually) they were professional and extremely talented at their craft. Mike their "prep guy" worked his magic and had us smiling right before Tara and Laura finished up our look and effortlessly transformed our hair into something truely spectacular. Classy with a bit of an edge they were the real deal. Artists through and through. Thank you to the crew @ Hot Mess for contributing to a memorable and timeless event in our lives. We couldn't have done it without you!!!

Marcie from Hot Mess was my make up artist for my wedding and she was awesome!! She did an amazing job with both my makeup, as well as my mother's. Marcie arrived at the venue on time and was a very calm presence during the pre-ceremony hustle and bustle. She was extremely professional and made me look so beautiful.

Love them!! The studio itself is so awesome I had my photographer come to take pictures! All of my girls had their hair and makeup done there as well as my hair and airbrush makeup. We had brunch there which was amazing since it was the only thing we ate until that night! They kept the whole morning light and happy and everyone looked awesome!!! I was told how impressed everyone was that my hair looked just as amazing at midnight as it did when it was finished at 1:00. They gave all the girls touch-up brushes before they left, and I got a cute little bag with some sample products (which made packing toiletries for the honeymoon that much easier!). The girls were awesome, we had so much fun!!! I'm going to book my next haircut there - it's worth the 40 minute drive!

I was lucky enough to find Hot Mess after two awful experiences with other salons, and I'm so happy I did! Tara took care of my trial, and even on sub-par camera-phone pictures my maids were amazed. My in-laws kept changing their minds as to what they wanted done, and Alex was amazing, keeping up with my calls and emails and changing things wherever I needed. Me, my maids, and my in-laws had hair and makeup done there the morning of the wedding, and everyone looked amazing. People are still calling me to tell me how great I looked, and to comment on my amazing wedding hair. The staff is as friendly as can be, and having Skippy sit on my lap while Tara was doing my hair really calmed my wedding day jitters! You want to look amazing on your wedding day, these girls make it happen.

tara, alex and marcy were a pleasure to work with! they were fun, professional and full of advice and ideas. i couldn't have asked for a better team to take care of me and my bridesmaids on my big day:)

Went for my wedding day hair and makeup -- I cannot say enough good things about this salon. Tara and her group made both the trial and the day of the wedding so much fun! The girls are great, the ambiance is perfect, and I walked out looking like a princess. The value is totally worth the cost...you get what you pay for, and beauty is certainly not something to skimp on for your wedding day. Would definitely recommend!‎

Tara and the Hot Mess Team were incredible. They made the morning before my wedding was so much fun. The whole team came and set up on time, and they knew just what to do. They were relaxed, so much fun, and did an amazing job with both hair and makeup. Everyone looked stunning! They are a talented group of fun, professional women and I highly recommend them to anyone who not only wants to look flawless and stunning the day of the wedding, but who wants to have some fun and be worry-free during a morning that, for some, can be stressful!! I love them!! Thanks girls!

Tara and her hot mess team are amazing! Tara is extremely talented and on top of that, really funny and puts you completely at ease. Love Her!

Tara and the crew from HOT MESS are awesome wedding professionals! We are proud to recommend them to our brides for hair, makeup and an experience that rocks. If you are looking for a talented salon for your big day, give Tara and the girls at Hot Mess a visit.
