Has anyone used these hair/makeup artists?

in New Jersey
I've been doing some research on hair and makeup artists in NJ.  I need someone who can come to the reception site to do the hair and makeup on site.  I need my hair and makeup along with 7 girls' hair.  After doing some searches and sending emails, I've found three that have reasonable rates and seem to do a quality job.  Has anyone ever used the following places?:

Face Attitude with Martina
Skin Bar and Paint in Little Falls
Donna Lance

As long as they're capable of doing simple hair styles and not making me look like a clown, that's all I need.  Anyone use any of the above people? Thanks! I really have no interest in paying for more than one trial run because it's expensive.

    I had a trial with Jillyan from Skin Bar Paint on Sunday for my engagement pictures I booked her on the spot for my wedding. She did a fantastic job exactly what I asked. I wanted to look natural but have my eyes pop in our pictures she did exactly that. I'm on the mobile site but I can upload a pic tomorrow if you'd like.

    It's not the best pic (I haven't gotten my actual e-pics back yet) but just to give you an idea...

    I also used Jillyan and Jaime (for hair).  She did a great job, but was a little late on my wedding day which caused a little stress.  There are pics on my photgrapher's blog.  Jason Rhee.  Wedding date 11/19/11.

    She did a great job! I like that it's very natural looking- that's what I want since I don't normally wear a lot of makeup. Thanks for posting a pic.

    You looked beautiful at your wedding! I actually will probably get a similar hair style to what you had. Did jaime also do all of your bridesmaids' hair? If so, did it take a long time? I have 7 girls that would need hair as well.

    Thank you! Jaime did me, 5 bridesmaids and my Mom.  Jillyan did make-up for everyone as well.  They brought an assistant to prep everyone's hair, so Jaime just did the styling.  I think it took about 3-4 hours to get everything done.

    I had a trial twice with Jillian and both times she cancelled on me. I read reviews that she sometimes cancels on your wedding day also and has someone else come so that's three strikes out for me.

    Good to know- 3-4 hours seems reasonable for 7 people.

    That's a little concerning.  I can't have someone cancel on my trial because I live out of state and will have to make sure it gets done while I'm in NJ.

    Skin bar Paint has gotten terrible reviews from girls on here! I suggest you search on here first.  I think Nates on snarky brides used her had a really bad experience if you want to pm her, she may be able to fill you in.
