Hair & Makeup recs?

Hi ladies!  I've been gone for a while, grad school is more than a little bit of a lifesuck, but I've got time management down much better and I'm starting to work wedding planning back into the mix :)

I'm looking for recommendations for hair & makeup.  I want to start by saying I've already heard back from Caitlin Murphy, but she's a little pricier than I was hoping for.  I've also emailed Candice French but have yet to hear back on her availability.

For background, we're getting married at Searles Castle, and will be getting ready in the Salem/Windham area, so we will either need local salons or MUA/HS who can travel.  Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!

  • I used Candice French for make-up.  She was great! You won't be dissappointed if you go with her.  I got married at the Granite Rose in Hampstead but was getting ready at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua.  Candice came at 6AM to make sure I (and my BMs) was ready in plenty of time for my 11 AM wedding.

    For hair I used Christine Jolicoeur from Merlin's Salon in Manchester.  She also came to the hotel to get me and my ladies ready.  Her prices were quite reasonable and you get a trial as well. I loved what she did with my hair.

  • I highly recommend Donna Cotnoir from Custom For You NH. She did hair and makeup for me, my BMs, and the two moms, didn't rush through any of it. She did an excellent job! She is so sweet and very professional. She does travel, also, which IMO is easier than having to trek out to the salon. Definitely look into her! :)

    This is what I'm hoping, but I haven't heard back since I emailed her two weeks ago.  I've noticed a couple of other people looking for her, but still nothing.  I wrote to her again yesterday, fingers crossed.

    ETA: I looked up Merlin's salon in Manchester, but they don't seem to have a Christine Jolicoeur, just a Christie Yaris...am I looking at the wrong place, did she go elsewhere, did she get married...?

  • We used Erin Convery for makeup, (Nashua).  891-2256 or erin-convery@comcast.net.  Her sister, Corey, is a hairdresser and sometimes partners with her.  They were both fantastic!

    She did get married this past December, so my guess is she has already changed her name. Give them a call or stop by...she was great!

  • Does Candace have a website?  I have been procrastinating on makeup myself :)
