Absolutely amazing job and service! I couldnt be happier with the job gabby and lei did. I showed them each one picture and they nailed it in one try. I was their last client and I was worried i would look like a train wreck as they mentioned they had been up since 4 am and had a late wedding but holy moly they nailed it and are one of the two best people you will ever meet. My makeup and hair lasted all night until 3 am and couldnt be happier with choosing 217 for this event! Thank you so much!!

I've been looking for a Makeup and hair artist for while for my wedding. I spoke to many people and any of them really understood my vision for my wedding. Until a friend recommended Liz (217 Beauty). Liz and her team made me look and feel like a Queen. I love them so much that I always recommended them to my friends and families. They are extremely professional and responsible.

Once when my cousin Divya, got married I loved how her makeup was done for her wedding. I knew since then at a young age that I wanted 217 beauty to be the team to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! I was so excited, when Liz said that she was available to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. Liz is hands down the best makeup artist, she knows how to work with Indian clients. She knew exactly what look I wanted. Even though she is pregnant she still did my hair and makeup with no hesitation. Everyone loved how the hair and makeup came out for the bridal party. Liz is so easy to talk to

Working with 217 Beauty was fantastic! From the first meeting with Liz, to the makeup and hair artists that made the trek in the snow on the day of - everything was seamless and excellent! I had my own makeup and hair done, along with my mother, mother in law and the majority of my 11 bridesmaids! Katlyn & Erika were our makeup artists and they did a great job of chatting with each girl to see how she wanted to be made up and then they made that happen! What I loved most is that they were able to work with each girl's personal style. Some wanted to be more dramatic than usual while others wanted

This review is overdue, but my family and I recently booked Liz and her team for wedding hair and makeup. We were traveling from Los Angeles to New Jersey, so it was a bit nerve-wracking to pick someone from so far away. We could not have been happier with our experience! In 2 hours, Liz's team was able to do the most beautiful updos and makeup that we've ever had! I can't believe how fast they worked and what they were able to do! Towanna is seriously a hair genius! Plus, her and Danielle couldn't have been nicer and just made the whole experience so lovely. Thank you gals
