From the owner: I have loved makeup for as long as I can remember. So after graduating College with a Biology…read moredegree and considering various job options, I decided to take the next natural step and do what I like best, makeup! I've been in the makeup industry ever since. I started doing makeup professionally for MAC about 20 years ago in New York. Since then, I've done makeup at NYC Fashion Week, for many public figures, countless brides, and for the on air talent and celebrity guests at ESPN. These days when I'm not beautifying a bridal party you can find me painting faces over at ESPN, the Oxygen network, WFSB or for a corporate project or commercial shoot. My clients will tell you I am friendly to work with and I'm good at what I do. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my makeup services. I look forward to hearing from you!

She colored it back to a normal brown and added beautiful purple streaks that were subtle and the perfect placement! She spent hours on my hair and it came out so perfect!

I wish I lived closer so I could go back for every service I needed!

I visited Brush to fix a bad haircut experience from a Wethersfield studio. I have a severe…read moreinverted bob haircut and the previous stylist didn't know how to properly do this type of hair style. There were jagged pieces... it was heavy... a disaster. Ashley was very professional and knowledgeable about my thick hair type and funky style. She took a fraction of the time the previous girl took to cut my hair. She then put some serum in it and blow dried it (which is no small feat with the amount of hair I have). It was so shiny! After blow drying and flat ironing my hair, she went back in to check her work, and we decided to bring up the back even a little higher (I like it VERY angled). My hair feels sleek, looks shiny, and has so much more movement than before. Just be clear about what you want, and if you do want something special, communicate that ahead of time so she can make sure to block off more time for you. Overall, great experience. I would go back.

First off, Tara was great at organizing and explaining the process and pricing via email and sending out my contract asap. I then scheduled my trial appointment at the salon, which went amazingly! My stylist was Marie, who was so sweet and listened to all of my wishes and concerns about my wedding day look. She seriously is a hair magician- my hair is not easy to work with (very fine, slippery, but a LOT of hair), and she totally crushed it. I feel so confident in having Marie style my hair and my bridesmaids' hair on my wedding day. I'll be sure to post updated photos after my wedding this fall!

Her studio is tucked away in the Salons by JC tucked away behind Marshall's on North Main Street. The salons share a parking lot with the new (soon to open) Target. This is the perfect location for a little "me time", after getting my hair done. To reach the Salons by JC, enter through the Marshall's back door and take the elevator to the second floor. Virginia is currently accepting new clients and a list of services can be found on her web site. If you sign up for her newsletter on the bottom of the home page, you can save $25 on your first visit. My first experience with Virginia was at another salon, when she decided to go off on her own, I followed her. I have never gotten as many compliments on my hair, as I have since seeing Virginia. My hair feels better, the grays (shhh) are completely covered and the cut is perfect! Virginia also does makeup. She lights up just talking about it. While I haven't used this service, I have seen the bridal pictures and they are gorgeous. So, if you're getting married and you would like someone that will travel to you, reach out to Virginia!

Now I'm back to square one trying to find a makeup artist. I'm upset that she's UNPROFESSIONAL and didn't handle the situation well. She could of call me instead of text me and she could of try to move me to an earlier time to show that she's trying to make this work (beside it's only take her 30 mins to do my makeup according to her statement). I advice you to go with someone else that is reliable and professional.

Not bleaching today just adding color to cover the gray hair)... I felt like they really cared about the results of my hair for the long-term not just for the one week. Most times anybody does anything with my hair involving color it comes out awful. The cut was absolutely perfect as well. Had to chop off 4 to 5 inches due to Very thin ends from my anemia...

I, along with all my bridesmaids and loved ones, cannot recommend Upstyle and its team more. Before…read moremy day with Upstyle's team, I had never walked away from a hair and makeup appointment feeling beautiful or even satisfied with how I look. But that all changed when I did my extensive research and asked Upstyle to be a part of my wedding day. I teared up immediately when I saw how I looked on my special day--all thanks to the Upstyle team. I had never felt more beautiful (while still feeling like myself) after getting my hair and makeup done. It is not uncommon for Asian brides to have doubts about how they will look after makeup, but I want everyone to know that Jessica's talent knows no bounds. She understood my vision and made me look exactly how I wanted to look and (somehow using her magic) more. There really aren't enough words to describe the immense joy (and relief) I felt after being in Jessica's chair. I also got beyond lucky to have worked with Jessie. I had asked for changes to my updo after my trial, and she worked with me throughout the entire morning of my wedding to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Just like Jessica, she understood my vision right away. She made me feel so incredibly comfortable, really listened to what I was looking for, and was invested (as if she were me) in how happy I was on my wedding day. There is no question that they are the best in the game. What is also worth noting is how fun and warm they are to everyone in the room. Even though it was my second time meeting them (first time was during my trial), it was as if I asked two of my super close friends to help me do my hair and makeup. Jessica and Jessie used their charm and wit to even communicate with my non-English speaking mother to give her exactly what she wants. That's how fantastic they are as people and as artists. People say they feel the wedding blues after everything is over; I do too, of course, but what contributes to those blues is how much I miss them. I made some excellent decisions for my wedding day, and asking Upstyle to work with me was on the top of my list.

Keep in mind, I never met personally with anyone in this salon, I never did a phone consultation, and I never got to do a trial. We have been working with Connecticut's Attorney General since November 2020 (it is now end of March 2021) to try to get a refund/work out a payment plan to get our money back. I understand businesses were affected by the pandemic, however, this salon provided ZERO services and has no moral issue withholding our money. Let me repeat, ZERO services were offered by the salon. The Attorney General said we are not the first to complain about this salon-BEWARE.
