"Chelsea was outstanding! I hired her to do makeup for my wedding. She did makeup for me (the bride), the mother of the bride, and one of my bridesmaids. When I arrived for my bridal trial, I had no idea what to expect. I usually don't wear a lot of makeup and I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. However, after showing her one photo I found online, she knew exactly what to do and what would look great on me. When I left my trial, I was so happy with the way I looked! Then on my wedding day, she was such a pleasure to work with. The makeup she did for my mother and bridesmaid looked fabulous! They thought they looked beautiful and I couldn't agree more. I didn't have to request a single change from my bridal trial and I couldn't believe how beautiful I looked. The makeup was flawless and it lasted all day and night. Even my new husband was complimenting my makeup all night! Aside from her makeup-talents, Chelsea is an absolute doll! She was super sweet, easy to talk to, and very professional. She allotted plenty of time for herself on the wedding day which allowed everyone to relax and not rush to get ready. If I remember correctly, she even finished ahead of schedule! Chelsea was everything I could have hoped for and I would recommend her to anyone needing makeup services!" - Kathleen M.
“Chelsea is incredible! It’s was important to me that every one of my bridesmaids looked and felt their absolute best. All 7 of them preferred different styles of makeup, ranging from a minimal glow to a full face, and she was able to accommodate each one perfectly! I was overjoyed when I saw that the first few couple of girls came out looking like complete bombshells. Everyone was so happy with her work and wouldn’t stop taking pictures of themselves! They all had beautiful natural porcelain-like faces with gorgeous eye makeup that really made them all so radiant. On another note, I was especially pleased with how my mother’s makeup come out. She has had her makeup professionally done a number of times and has never been satisfied. So, needless to say, I was worried about how things might go with her. Chelsea could not have done a more beautiful job! To see my mom so truly happy with what Chelsea had done was a gift I will cherish forever. I can count on one hand the number of times my mom has been that genuinely happy with how she looks. It is such a blessing that Chelsea was able to make her feel that way and the gift just keeps on giving in our wedding photos where you can see that joy shining all over my mom’s face. As for myself, I couldn’t be more thankful. My makeup came out just the way I had imagined. I did an initial trial about two months before my wedding and later emailed her some feed back about things I’d like to try the day of my wedding. Just simple things like maybe more coverage in some places and contour in others. Then, on the day of my wedding, she nailed it! Just perfect. Also to note, she was always on time/early, very responsive, professional and sweet. I made a ton of changes on her throughout the whole process and she handled everything with no problems. Additionally, she is a wonderful person to be around and will make you feel at ease in all of the wedding commotion. Chelsea is an all around fantastic makeup artist and I would love to work with her again!” - Ashlee S.
“Chelsea does truly incredible work and was such a pleasure to work with. I would hire Chelsea again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone without a doubt. She was warm, professional, thorough, and incredibly responsive from the beginning. She took her time during my trial and clearly documented what we had decided on for my wedding. She did a beautiful job of creating the different looks the bridesmaids and mothers showed her, ran exactly on schedule, and truly took her time to make sure everyone was happy. She created a variety of looks, and all of the girls were glowing. She achieves a natural glam look in a way that I have never seen someone else do. She started our wedding day off right and created makeup styles that lasted all day long. I could not be happier we hired Chelsea for our wedding day, and would highly recommend her.” - Brooke G.
“Oh my gosh if I could have counted the number of compliments I received on my hair and makeup!! Everyone just kept saying how stunning I looked. I cannot thank you and Allyssa enough for making me look and feel so beautiful! The wedding was an absolute success, my hair and makeup stayed perfect the entire time! You two are miracle workers, and such joys to be around. I could not have picked a better duo! Thank you again for making all of my wedding dreams come true!!” - Ashley C.
“I cannot recommend Beauty by Chelsea Dae enough! I stumbled upon Chelsea’s Instagram after looking at makeup/hair stylists near my wedding venue (Westbrook CT). I was really drawn to her natural makeup looks and booked her services as quickly as I could! Chelsea and Alyssa (hairstylist) we’re AMAZING. They were very patient with me during my hair and makeup trial and answered all of my questions! They arrived on time on my wedding day and were extremely efficient. Chelsea and Alyssa made me look and feel so beautiful! My hair and makeup stayed put all night long, despite humid weather and nonstop dancing! If you’re getting married in the NY/CT area, absolutely go with beauty by chelsea dae!!!! I can’t recommend her bridal services enough!!!” - Alycia D.
“We used Chelsea and her team for my wedding this past weekend and they were amazing! We had an early wedding with a very tight timeline, but Chelsea and her team worked perfectly and efficiently together, which helped everything to go smoothly. They were all very friendly/personable and gave all of us exactly what we were looking for. They were even willing to come with us to the venue (we did hair and makeup at a nearby hotel) for final touch-ups. Everyone's hair and makeup still looked great by the end of the day, which just proves how talented they are. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you!” - Maggie M
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful from the first moment until the last! She is so nice and truly cares about her clients. She is very prompt in responding to emails and was well organized. I loved that all her payment was available online and easily accessible. Chelsea helped to make my wedding day perfect, she even provided a touch up kit for the big day so I could fix my lip color if it smudged. She helped make a timeline for the morning and stuck to it perfectly, even a little ahead of time! Everyone looked amazing and I would hire Chelsea again in a heartbeat. I truly recommend her to anyone looking for a perfect natural glam look :)” - Erica N.
“Chelsea was a dream to work with! She wasn't available for my original wedding date, but because it had gotten postponed, she was available for my new date and I was ecstatic! Our day-of make-up began at 5:30am (woof) but she was so positive about it. Even though there were 8 of us total, she was way ahead of schedule the entire time and made everyone feel the most comfortable. I rarely wear make-up in general, but the look she created for me was absolutely perfect! I've never had so many compliments in my life and my make-up lasted way into the night!” - Emily
“Chelsea and Allyssa were incredible to work with! They both were so accommodating when we decided to postpone our wedding and were able to calm all my nerves on wedding morning. During my trial, they both were able to look at 1-2 photos I provided and create exactly what I was looking for. Since I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, it was important to me that I still looked like myself on my wedding day. They both did absolutely amazing and my bridal party and I were all so happy with how we looked on the big day! This was my first time doing airbrush makeup and I will not go back. They were so helpful leading up to the wedding when questions arose from bridesmaids about hair and makeup styles. They were very punctual, neat, and so personable to work with and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a hair and makeup stylist for their wedding day!” - Camellia E.
“Chelsea was AMAZING!!! As someone who doesn't wear makeup she took my idea and gave me the perfect look for my day! She was also super organized sending out a schedule and a list of how to prep our skin for the day of. She was even able to accommodate a day of request for an additional person for us which I greatly greatly appreciate. I can't recommend Chelsea enough.” - Hannah B.
"I had the pleasure of having Chelsea prep my girls and I for my wedding in July. Chelsea is nothing short of AMAZING! She is extremely talented and friendly, and takes pride in her work. She took her time and paid attention to every little detail to ensure that I felt beautiful on my special day. I cannot be any happier with how everything turned out. I recommend her for ANY event and will continue booking her for my own!" - Stephanie E.
“I booked Chelsea for my makeup for my 5 Bridesmaids, my momma, and me. Let me tell you, hands down best experience. She came early, had a schedule (and as a planner myself that was so helpful to keep everyone moving and on time) and she made such great conversation. She isn’t someone who just shows up and gets the job done she cares and takes the time to get to know her clients. I couldn’t be more grateful to Chelsea for the work she did on my big day. I truly felt like a princess and that was all thanks to her. Plus she made sure that all products she used were compatible with my sensitive skin and made sure with lighting and pre photos that the makeup wouldn’t be shiny in photos. I opted for a more natural look as I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis and it looked amazing all thanks to her.” - Carolynn W.
“Chelsea and team were a pleasure to work with for my wedding hair and make up. From the trial, to coordinating timing of the bridesmaids, everything went so smoothly and i felt confident she understood what I wanted. She left me with a great touch-up kit, so I looked great all through the night (apparently that isn't standard as i found out at another friend's wedding). My bridesmaids and mom were also impressed and enjoyed the experience, I highly recommend working with Chelsea.” - Emily
“I could not be more grateful to Chelsea and Allyssa! They heard my vision for my day and made me and my girls feel both natural and glamorous on my Wedding Day. They were punctual, professional and also managed to keep this nervous bride at ease ahead of the big event. My girls (some of whom have been bridesmaids many times) said their hair and makeup was some of the best they've ever had done. Chelsea and Allyssa too their time during my trial, answered all my emails where I changed my mind over and over again and took time and care with every single bridesmaid. My mom who never gets hair and make up done was glowing with confidence at the end of the day. They are kind, professional and incredibly talented. Thank you C&A!” - Dora R.
“Chelsea and her staff did an amazing job. She was so easy to work with and very professional. I wanted a natural look and she was able to do exactly what I wanted. I just got my photos back and the make up and hair looked beautiful in the photos. I highly recommend having her and her staff do your wedding.” - Liz H.
“Thank you so much again for doing our hair and makeup for my wedding. It was flawless and stayed all night despite tears and sweat. I felt glamorous but oh so myself all at the same time! Even my mom, who is not easy to please, was impressed and loved how her makeup (and hair) turned out. Thank Allyssa for me too! Not a single hair fell out of place all night long (even with taking my veil in and out several times).” - Amanda L.
“I booked with Chelsea for myself and three bridesmaids. Working with Chelsea was a dream! Super friendly and so communicative! I loved my trial and I got exactly what I asked for on my wedding day! She and Allyssa arrived to my parent's home the morning of and made the whole day super fun and relaxing for myself and my girls. I would highly recommend choosing Chelsea for your special day!!” - Malwina G.
"Amazing!!! I booked Chelsea extremely last minute for my June 15th, 2018 Wedding, and I am so glad I did! During the trial I was very nervous to try airbrush since I had never had it done before and there was only one week until my wedding, but Chelsea encouraged me to give it a try, and I loved it! My entire wedding day my makeup held, and I am still getting compliments today on my wedding look. Thank you Chelsea from the bottom of my heart!!" - Elizabeth B.
“Chelsea did an amazing job with both traditional and airbrush makeup. In particular, I loooooved the lashes she used. They felt so natural and never once bothered me throughout the day. She also made a few changes from my trial based on feedback and totally nailed what I was going for. A nice touch was to get a lip touch up kit so I could keep my lipstick fresh all day and night!” - Kate D.
“I used Chelsea and hair stylist Alyssa for my wedding and I'm so happy I did! I did several trials with them, changing my mind left and right and they were patient and kind. They offered suggestions and even let me try a few different styles. They, as well as another hair stylist Vanessa, toughed in out on my wedding day in the heat and humidity and made my bridal party look beautiful! In the end, my bridal look was exactly as I'd hoped. I also use Chelsea for other services she offers in her salon, she does a great job, is personable and makes you feel comfortable. Highly highly recommend!!” - Danielle G.
“Booked with Chelsea for myself and 7 bridesmaids. She is sweet, professional, and talented. She listens to the vision you are going for and makes it come to life.

“Chelsea was so easy and amazing to work with ! We developed a look at my trial and I loved it. However, closer to my wedding day I had a change of heart with how I wanted my makeup to look and Chelsea was more than accommodating. We didn’t do a second trial, but she absolutely nailed the look I was going for the day of. I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome; I felt and looked so beautiful ! You won’t regret booking Chelsea!” - Brittini M.

“I recently used Chelsea for my wedding and I couldn't be happier with her work! She's very professional and maps out everything in a simple manor, which is awesome for that bridal brain you begin to get after a while! Her work was also very impressive. Everyone looked stunning and I didn't hear a single complaint, other than they were worried that they rubbed off their lipstick! I was worried that a couple of girls would be picky and give Chelsea a hard time, but even they loved their makeup, which to me says a lot! Chelsea was super accommodating and very timely. She beat me to the location and I’m always early!” - Kirby D.

"Working with Sasha and Chelsea was amazing. I wish I could come up with a better adjective to describe the experience because it was so much more than I ever could have anticipated...Chelsea did things to my hair and makeup that I never would have thought possible. For someone who never wears any makeup and whose hair is usually pulled back in a ponytail she made me look glamorous (if I do say so myself) while still feeling like me. It was a similar feeling to that of my wedding day. I felt very special." - Mary S.

This was a first time experience for us and Chelsea quickly understood who we were and what we would like, and hit it spot on.

I am looking forward to working with Chelsea again one day!" - Rebecca C., owner of Rebecca Christine's Boutique and Consignment
