Transcendent Studio - Bristol, Connecticut

Transcendent came through for me when I had a late change of plans with my hair vendor. Yen was SO responsive and easy to book and work with. We had Erin for hair and she was amazing! She worked with me during my trial to make my hairstyle vision come true. The day of, she was on time and everyone loved their hair! I highly recommend Transcendent Studio!

I could not be happier that I chose Transcendent to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup, and we got a ton of compliments throughout the day! My sister used them as well, and we are both extremely happy with how we looked and felt on our wedding days. The owner is also extremely helpful and flexible and helps answer any questions you may have. The option to get ready at their studio was also a big bonus for me and made my wedding day less hectic. THANK YOU!

The ladies at transcendent make up were very knowledgeable friendly and most importantly punctual. They arrived very well prepared, on time, and very friendly on the day of my wedding. They were able to stick to the original schedule and finished all my bridesmaids and mother of the bride all on time and in a professional manner. Our make up artist, Annalyse, was an expert very knowledgeable and everyone looked very beautiful. Our hairstylist, Adriana was absolutely amazing, great hairstyles. Me and my bridesmaids all looked very beautiful and I am so happy I went with transcendent make up. Yen was very responsive to all my emails that I sent at any and all times of the day as I was freaking out about the little details. Yen would respond to my emails almost immediately and it gave me great confidence in their communication.

I truly am beyond blown away by my entire experience with the Transcendent Makeup & Hair Team! In the beginning of my wedding process I was stressed about finding the right hair and makeup team for my big day. I read every review, spoke to numerous friends and family members, and highly researched all options from all angles. And, I landed right where I was meant to be and couldn’t be happier!

Stacie was my makeup artist, and her level of professionalism was more than I could have ever asked for. She was prompt when responding to my emails, highly organized and the team’s wedding contract was clear and detailed. I did my trial back in October 2021 for a June 2022 wedding, and during my trial, Stacie took my inspiration photos and delivered my look to a whole new level. She gave me the perfect rose gold eye, with just the right amount of a wing and then applied individual eyelashes so my eyes didn’t appear heavy with a huge lash strip weighing them down. She truly catered to my individual eye shape (same with all my bridesmaid) and made me look like the best version of myself on my wedding day!

Also, during the time of my trial, I expressed to Stacie that the “Moms” (Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom) were both unsure and nervous about having their hair and makeup done. As the bride, I thought it was important to have both Moms get pampered on the morning of my wedding. This is as much their day, as it is mine! So we scheduled a trial for the Moms in March and both Stacie and my hair stylist Nicole, made them feel so comfortable and beautiful that they agreed to both servies. I was so happy that they weren’t pushy and salesman like when working with the Moms. They truly made the experience so pleasant for them and my Mom was in tears because for once, she was the one getting pampered. I was so happy that Stacie and the team made my dreams come true and both Moms looked so beautiful!

Now to my hair stylist Nicole! I expressed to Stacie that I wanted a timeless look for my hair. I wanted to look back on my hair 10, 20, 30 years from now and still be in love with it. I decided on 1920’s glamour waves! Hence, the perfect pairing with Nicole! Nicole is a true master when it comes to glamour waves! No joke, she takes master classes all around the country in order to achieve the perfect glamour wave. She is the best in the business! When we did my trial I was in love. She knew exactly what she was doing, how to set my hair, the right products for my type of hair, and she had the proper tools to achieve this look! Even from the time of my trial in October, Nicole would message me with updates on how she was going to evaluate my look even more! Or that she learned a new technique and couldn’t wait to do it on my wedding day! Nicole brings all the right kind of energy!

Overall, Transcendent made my wedding day all to easy! I had big bridal party that consisted of 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and me the bride, with a ceremony start time of 1:00pm. Talk about stressful, but they made it feel easy. They stayed right on schedule, nothing felt rushed, and I had the best morning with all the girls! Please reference the photos below for their amazing work! My hair and makeup stayed ALL DAY AND NIGHT and let me tell you, I DANCED the night away! I highly recommended this team for your big day or if you are in need of hair and makeup services! THEY ARE THE BEST and I am forever grateful for them being apart of my special day!

All my love,

The morning of my December wedding was so cold (it was single digits!) but Stacie and Meghan showed up to the hotel early and ready to go! From getting a quote, to signing the contract, and throughout the morning of the wedding, Stacie was nothing but professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. On my wedding day, Stacie and Meghan made all of us look our best while being patient with us since we have very little experience with makeup. Because my wedding was so short notice, we didn’t have time to do a trial. This was no problem for Stacie and Meghan as they created the most perfect look I could think of for each one of us. I can’t recommend them enough! They were recommended to me by my best friend who got married in July 2019 and looked GORGEOUS, I’m glad I listened to her!

Stacie was great to work with! I am someone who doesn’t wear makeup often, so it was hard to get my makeup done professionally for my wedding. I love the idea of a trial, I even did the hair trial twice with Nicole to perfect my look! I highly recommend this company and their services. My bridal party all loved their results as well. A couple bridesmaids were afraid they couldn’t do updos for short hair, but every thing they did was phenomenal.

I used Transcendent for my wedding and they did an amazing job. Yen did my makeup which came out great. It lasted all day and night, even in the hot and humid July weather. Shanice did my hair with extensions that were perfectly color matched from photos I sent, and did a great job the day of. I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup. They also took great care of my bridal party. Thank you!!

I am very thankful to have had Transcendent Makeup as my hair and makeup vendors for my wedding! Yen and Shirley were super attentive, professional, and fun during all the stages of the wedding, from the hair and makeup trials to the day of the wedding. They were also flexible in making any hair or makeup adjustments needed on the bridal party and helped me feel more relaxed during the wedding day. I loved how my hair and makeup stayed in place for the entire time of the wedding, especially the veil (thanks Shirley!). Yen’s and Shirley amazing talents as a makeup artist and hair stylist definitely were displayed in their ability to make my entire bridal party composed of women, of different ages, skin tones, and hair textures, feel extra radiant on my wedding day. Seeing the entire bridal party, especially my mother, feel beautiful and confident definitely added to my happiness and joy that day. Thanks so much Yen and Shirley!
