There aren't many artist with the experience of working with different skin tones and skin types. Liz was able to give me the look that I wanted working with my skin type. I should mention I had a giant zit that decided to pop up from all the traveling, that obviously was a task to cover. She made sure to not cake on the make up, making it feel heavy. Everything was kept natural highlighting natural features. The make up actually lasted all night from 3:00-4:20pm application to 2am. She's gorgeous inside and out, truly a joy to work with.

With Liz, I had such confidence that I would look + feel amazing for my special occasion. Her calm demeanor and positivity is contagious and she takes you on the makeup application journey so you know what to expect, but also have the element of surprise + awe at the end. I would not trust anyone else like I do Liz. She makes what could be an intimidating + overwhelming service so seamless and enjoyable. Her presence is just incredible. After my session with her, I said to myself "I'm going to find more occasions for makeup" just so I can work with Liz. Highly, strongly, enthusiastically recommend Liz! Absolutely love her!

If you want your brows to look better than they ever have, you NEED to go visit Rachel. I'm very…read morespecific about how my brows look, and Rachel took the time to listen to what I wanted and executed it perfectly.

Even on Newbury St. where there are brow studios a plenty, they don't even come close to Rachel.

I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.

My friend and I found out two days before her wedding that the MUA she hired, had to cancel due to potential Covid exposure. After the shock wore off, my friend and I were planning to do our own makeup. Which, would have been an amazing feat since neither of us wear make up...like AT ALL! I didn't want my friend to have to do her own makeup on her wedding day. She deserves to be pampered and not have to worry about trying to attempt to do her own makeup. In Yelp I typed in "Top 10 MUA Salem, MA." Suite Bella was in the top 3! After looking at the photos and reading the reviews, I sent out an S.O.S.!! Within the hour Gina (one of the owners) responded and said she would be able to do our makeup and she was super close to our hotel. The stars had aligned for us. Gina was kind, personable, professional, on time, listened to what we were going for and most importantly made my friend's day. Gina, I know Patrice and I said it repeatedly, but, we can not thank you enough. We loved our looks! We know this is what you do, and it was only two of us, but, to be able to help and accommodate us at the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs (we're baseball fans) - you were our home run.

Kerri arrived right on time, gave each girl a good amount of attention, made sure everyone was happy with their look, and offered everyone touch ups before she left. Before meeting Kerri, not everyone was on board with fake lashes, but after seeing how great they looked, they changed their minds.

What a great experience top to bottom…read more I was in town for less than 24 hours for a wedding. I quickly and easily booked a hair and makeup appointment online two days before I arrived. First win. Then I woke up to an email from the airline saying the flight was delayed an hour. Then another two hours. I called and left a voicemail as soon as I could before they were open. I told them I would probably miss both appointments if they kept delaying my flight. When it was confirmed that we would indeed take off I called them back to let them know I could probably make the makeup appointment if they could push it back and find a friend from the wedding to take my hair appointment. The lady at the front desk was super understanding and happy to switch out another wedding guest to take my place for a blow out. I made it in time to get my makeup done by Liza. She was so sweet and so professional. I only wear foundation and have lash extensions. I don't know how to put on eye makeup. I had a bright blue dress and she put in pops of blue. It was so fun and I felt fabulous! The customer service, understanding of my travel delays and final product were all so amazing. I'd come back in a heartbeat next time I have a wedding in Boston!

When I was explaining how I was not available to speak another time this week because I work 12 hour days they hung up on me. I would not recommend getting your haircut here.

She worked with me every step of the way to ensure I looked exactly how I dreamed on my wedding day. What really blew me away was how long my hair and makeup stayed absolutely perfect - not a single touch-up needed throughout the entire day! A true testament to her skill and the quality of her work. The trial session was also such a positive experience. It felt relaxed and fun, and June was so open to feedback as we worked towards perfecting the look I wanted. Her flexibility and collaborative approach made the whole process so much less stressful. Also, as an Asian bride, finding a stylist who understands the nuances of Asian makeup and how it complements fair skin was really important to me, and June absolutely nailed it. She has a fantastic understanding of different styles and how to enhance Asian features beautifully. I felt so confident and truly myself on my wedding day thanks to her expertise. For any bride looking for a truly talented, dedicated, and flexible hair and makeup artist who listens and delivers incredible results, I wholeheartedly recommend Love Notes by June. You won't be disappointed!

She asked if I was okay FIRST! (how kind is that!?!) I arrived about 15-20 minutes after my scheduled time and apologized and she was so gracious about it. Her salon was clean, cute and welcoming. With both of us in masks, she immediately proved hand sanitizer and check my temperature. (which definitely put me at ease!) She asked questions about my hair care routine and we talked about my hair goals. The entire process was smooth and the conversation was great!
