I've used Tina for my wedding and she was on point. She listens and gives suggestions on makeup and even hairstyles. She's very talented, great to work with and is so easy to talk to. She answers emails or phone calls immediately. She also brings mimosas to you on the day of your event to relax you (optional of course). If you're looking for someone who will meet your needs for any occasion, she's your gal. She also dolled me up for my 40th bday and loved it. I would definitely use her over and over again. You won't be disappointed! read more

I would give Tina 10 stars if I could. My 10 year old daughter and I had to get dolled up for a banquet honoring my husband, so this night was very special as we were going to be photographed and wanted these amazing memories to last forever! I couldn't have been more pleased with Tina's creativity and artistic ability. I have no clue how to do makeup on myself, let alone my 10 year old...and I have NO VISION when it comes to hair. I told her to just create what she wanted! I have never, in my entire life, been so complemented by everyone I saw...all evening...over and over again. I have never (including my wedding day) felt more beautiful! I owe it all to Tina! Needless to say our pictures came out AMAZING and I can't wait to hang the portraits on our wall. She was able to glam me up, and at the same time give my daughter a young, dazzling look to keep her pure beauty, but make her feel "14" and gorgeous! Her confidence was brought out! I WOULD HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone and everyone. I actually called her the next day to book her for a family wedding we have coming up. read more

See all

Tina is my go to for any time I need my hair and make up done for a special event. She's a great listener And knows exactly what you are looking for even if you're not sure yourself. I always come out of there better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Tina for any hair and makeup event. She's great! read more

Always happy to recommend Tina to all my girls... She's absolutely amazing!!! Only make-up artist that makes me look flawless and make me feel the prettiest. read more

Christina was awesome! She was not only able to fit me in last minute for hair & make for a nye wedding, but also very accommodating when I had to change my appointment time only 2 days prior notice. (And I got an awesome deal since she was running a special) Makeup (false lashes inc.) & hair came out great & stayed on all day. Only had to re-apply lip gloss, but no big deal. I'm definitely giving Christina a call when I need to glam it up again! Thanks for dolling me up for the night ;) On another note. She sells this awesome make up from limelight. She was not pushy or trying to give me a big sales pitch while I couldn't move in her make up chair lol I actually had to pry her for more info & im so glad I did. I'm always on a hunt for liquid liner since they changed the formula of my current one (from prestige) & it was irritating my eyes & leaving them red when I took it off. I wasn't really familiar with the Alcone brand but I am sooooo glad I bought a liner to try. It goes on so easily & stays on all day & comes off with regular remover wipes. Can't wait to try more of there products. I 100% recommend Christina & her fab products. She's a great find & so glad I found her on Yelp! read more

I was in town from California and Tina did my hair for a wedding. I would have loved to have my makeup done by her but she was already booked. Anyhow, my hair was ON POINT that night! And the fact that my thick curls still stayed after a long night of dancing was a bonus. I'd definitely use her again when I'm back in NJ! read more

This is my 3rd time going to Cristina. She is very attentive and receptive. As always, does a fantastic job! Thank you, Cristina!

Cristina and her assistant were extremely talented and professional. The makeup they applied on me looked beautiful, and I received many compliments during prom on it! My hair also looked amazing. What impressed me the most was how fast they were able to do both the hair and makeup- while most places take over an hour, Cristina was able to accommodate me at 3 pm and have me finished in less than an hour (with no quality compromised!), allowing me to go to my pre-prom at 4:30 early. She was very attentive, and made sure that my makeup was exactly how I wanted it. Overall, this was a great experience for me, and if I need to get my makeup done again, I will definitely be going to Cristina! read more

I have had the pleasure of Christina's make-up services for 3 separate events, and have been more and more happy every time I go back! I've come out with flawless skin and amazing colors for my eyes each time, and couldn't be happier. The compliments I receive are fantastic, and it is a great feeling to know I look my best for these special occasions. She is very communicative and answers all text ASAP, which makes scheduling super easy. My appointments have been so relaxing and I can't wait to book again in the future. . . I highly recommend her without hesitation for anyone who wants to treat themselves to looking their best! read more

From beginning to end Cristina was amazing for a black tie wedding I booked her for. She was prompt and actually came a little earlier to set up and be ready to go at her exact start time as promised. The quality of products used for make up and hair were really great. The hair styles and makeup stayed in place the entire time. My sister, my step mom, my 90 year old grandmother, and myself were more than satisfied with the elegant looks she created for us. Between all of us there was a huge range of looks, but she made us look absolutely gorgeous. She's extremely professional and personable. I highly recommend booking her for any occasion that requires hair and makeup. read more

I'm so happy Cristina was available when I had to change my family photoshoot. She's very punctual, professional and great to talk to 6 in the morning! She did an amazing job doing both hair and make up. Her make up is great quality and lasted all day as well as my hair. I definitely recommend Cristina and will use her in the future! Thank you Cristina!! read more

Cristina is the best! There were 5 ladies and myself the morning of my wedding so, needless to say, things were a bit hectic! Cristina was prompt, prepared and stayed calm, cool and collected through our last minute changes and general wedding-morning chaos! As the bride, I felt like Cristina took extra care to make sure I looked and felt beautiful. But, it should be said, all of my ladies felt the exact same way! We purchased the touch-up kits that come with an amazing pressed powder and a lipstick, but we hardly needed touching up at all. Cristina brought Antoinette with her to help with hair and she did an amazing job, also! She finished up a little earlier than expected and took the time to do a little up-do for my 4-year-old niece. It matched her mother's hair and she was so thrilled she got to be part of all the big-girl fun! Not only is Cristina really talented, she is incredibly easy to work with! She skillfully and appropriately made-up women from 19 to 60+ and even got my Mother in false lashes! She is accommodating to schedules, changes and requests. She also seemed completely comfortable in a room full of loud, laughing ladies, which is probably an understated description of my group that day! Thanks again, Cristina and Antoinette! You ladies felt like an integral part of my wedding morning and I couldn't imagine the day without you! Meredith read more

I love Tina! She transformed me on my wedding day ! My wedding pictures are something I can proudly show my daughters because of her. So professional, knowledgeable and listens and understood what I wanted. The make up line she promotes is awesome too! Limelight by Alcone is fantastic! I swear by their concealer and longwear lipsticks/gloss. I highly recommend Tina for make up and hair. Just check out her sight and see for yourself! read more

I've worked with Tina on multiple fashion photo shoots, and her work was top notch on every occasion. Not only is Tina a dream to work with -- fun, funny, professional, punctual, well mannered and a great conversationalist -- but she has an exquisite understanding of her client's desires and needs, and executes perfect make up for the occasion. Tina has provided me with gorgeous, intense, high fashion looks and soft, subtler natural ones -- she is one of the rare MUAs who can achieve both with ease. As a model having collaborated with more than 20 MUAs in the past, I can say with confidence that Tina is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Excellence all around. read more

My sister was lucky enough to secure an appointment with Christina for prom. I was a bit nervous about going to a strangers house but Christina's home was warm and inviting while her set up was professional. She truly transformed my sister, highlighting her features with thoughtful suggestions. The one thing that stood out the most to me was that not only did my sister look great in person but she photographed perfectly which I feel is a testament to Christina's skills. The make up lasted all night (even after some teenage drama induced tears). The prom special also included a small kit with a few products as well as a sample of the selected lip color for touch ups which I thought was extremely generous and smart. I also appreciated that although Christina is affiliated with a makeup/skincare company she didn't try to sell or pitch us the entire time. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. read more
