HELP! with bridal hair and makeup in NJ

I know this is a repeat post, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding a reasonably priced makeup/hair person for my wedding in northern NJ.  I checked with Karuna Chani, Sushmita Patel, Nina Doshi, Makeup by Marissa who are all booked.  

My other issue is that I only have about 1 - 1.5 hrs between my ceremony and reception to change my hair/makeup, so I am looking for someone who is FAST!

Any recommendations? Has anyone had experience with:
Kalpana Patel
Pauline Nobles from Flawless Beauty by Pauline
Rita Suthar from Reetasmystiquestudio.com
Dilshad Virani

Has anyone hired 2 people (one for hair and one for makeup) to speed things up? Any advice would be great!

    Hi,

    I had the same problem as well when I was looking for my hair/makeup person. Everyone you listed above was booked for my date so, I ended up choosing the girls from http://www.bridalartwork.com/1.html. They're sisters, one does hair and other does makeup, which works for me since I also have 1.5 hrs between my ceremony and reception. They did a great job at the trial and were reasonably priced. Good luck!

    Hi!  I actually had a trial with both Ayesha and Bhargavi.  In the end, I chose Bhargavi because she was available for my wedding date, she's amazing with time schedules, and her schedule was flexible.  I've yet to have my hair trial with Bhargavii(we are trying to figure out a date for that).  I know a few brides in the Philadelphia area (where I'm from) that have used her and swear by her.

    Hope this helps.

    Have you tried Geetaz in New Brunswick? She has phenomenal work and is super lovely to work with. Located right next to the station but I'm sure she will travel further north.

    Man I used to be in that situation. I was going crazy trying to book someone for my wedding for sept 2013 but just had a trial with Arianna Seth. And she was amazing reasonably priced, Paris trained she gave me the look I was looking for. I am a believer that professional people exist in this industry. She did a few of my friends also. Always on time never any headaches.

    I am very difficult to please when it comes to makeup and I just did my trial with BridalART work.  They are just fantastic and so honest and reasonable.  You should definitely give them a call. <a href="http://www.bridalartwork.com/" rel="nofollow">www.bridalartwork.com</a>.  You will probably spend up to 3 hours with them (2 sisters).  They'll do 2 looks on you and won't let you leave until you are totally satisfied.  I booked myself and my bridesmaids with them.  Good luck
