June 2026 Pocono Wedding! Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Make Up & Hair by Joy for your wedding or any special event! Joy and her team (Evelyn and Carmin) did the hair and makeup for my eight-person bridal party, as well as for me, for my wedding in the Poconos (Milford, PA). From my bridal trial to my wedding day, Joy made me feel comfortable and confident. I had a general vision for my hair and makeup, but I wasn't exactly sure how to bring it to life. During my trial, Joy was incredibly patient and walked me through each step, helping me create my perfect bridal look. On the wedding day, Joy and her team made the entire morning feel exciting and fun instead of stressful. Everything was so well organized that we were completely ready before the photographer even arrived! Most importantly, my hair and makeup turned out absolutely beautiful. Everything lasted the entire night, and my hairstyle even looked great the next day. My bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law all looked amazing as well. I'm so grateful I chose Joy and her team for my wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the experience, and I highly recommend them to any bride looking for talented, professional, and organized hair and makeup artists! I ended up doing glam waves hair style and natural/soft glam make up look.

Beautiful wedding hair
Makeup & Hair by Joy were ready to listen and work with us on our vision from the beginning. Joy was flexible with timing and scheduling, and she answered all my questions. On the day of our wedding, she and her team did hair for several of our bridesmaids and family members, taking care to make each person feel special and attended to. What impressed us most was how dedicated our stylist was to getting every detail right. She adapted her approach for each of us and made sure we all felt beautiful and confident walking down the aisle, and was willing to change the hair if we had any questions. We'd absolutely recommend Makeup & Hair by Joy to any couple looking for a talented and thoughtful beauty team.

Amazing hair and makeup!
Joy was a pleasure to work with for my wedding! She was very quick to respond to all my inquiries and very communicative throughout the entire process. Joy's team was incredibly flexible and time efficient - Joys team managed hair and makeup for 13 girls total and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. When I wasn't completely satisfied with my hair, Joy made sure to start over to make sure it was perfect. I highly recommend Makeup & Hair by Joy for their professionalism, quality of work, and ability to handle a large wedding party with ease.
