Styled By Jen

jen was great. prompt reasonable compared to others that i checked and our makeup was beautiful. i would highly recommend.

Jen gave me an up-​do for a little holiday soirée, and i could not have been happier. She is extremely talented and I can highly recommend her. Her work was flawless. I have also seen her blow drys and haircuts and they are absolutely GORGEOUS.

I selected Styled by Jen for my wedding because of the quality of Jen’s Unilocal reviews and her budget-​friendliness. Jen is laid-​back yet professional, and did an incredible job for my family, friends and me. I loved the trial process for both hair and make-​up. Jen gave great advice and made me look and feel incredible for my wedding day. And, most of all, she and her second stylist had lots of fun with my bridal party and me while getting glammed up. I highly recommend Styled by Jen to other brides.

For my wedding, Jen and her staff took on the daunting task of styling hair for 6 people and applying makeup for 6 people, all in the space of 3 hours! I could not be more pleased with how it all turned out. They had excellent communication throughout the entire process, from booking them all the way up to the day of. They were prompt, professional, friendly, and easy to work with. And most importantly, everyone they laid hands on looked AMAZING for the big day. Wedding pictures are a one-​shot deal and because of the expertise and skill of Jen and her staff, mine turned out perfectly. I would recommend Styled by Jen to anyone and everyone who asks. Thank you so much for making my day so memorable!

I was so happy that Jen worked with my bridal party and I for my wedding. We were budget conscious and she worked with us to provide hair and makeup services for my bridesmaids, my mother, and myself. Everyone was thrilled with her work. I was not expecting to love my wedding makeup because I never wear makeup in real life and I’ve never really liked how I look in makeup. But somehow Jen made me look and feel incredible and also natural. I was also very happy with my hair, which I asked her to change slightly once she was done and she did some tweaking to make it perfect. Bring lots of photos if you are like me and terrible at describing what you would like in salon-​terms. Really enjoyed working with her and will recommend her to all of my girlfriends in the future.

Jen did hair and makeup for me and all of my bridesmaids for my wedding (her assistant helped with hair for the bridesmaids). She was fabulous! I was looking for a natural look, not too heavy on the makeup, and she did a great job. I also changed my mind about my hair style between the trial and the wedding day, but she figured out exactly the look I was going for and I was thrilled with the result. Everyone in my party was pleased with their looks — I’d highly recommend Jen!

After searching long and hard for the good makeup and hairstylist i found Jen on Unilocal.I was very impressed by the reviews i read here. So even though i was on the budget I booked her anyway thinking that I was gonna get married once as might as well spent money on my look. But i was terribly dissapointed my the services I got. I got married last year in august. Here is the problem. She made me feel very uncomfortable as she didnt listen to any of my suggestions. I even showed her several pictures of how i wanted my hair to look like. she spends way too much time on one look and she doesnt want to to say anything until she is finished and when she’s done and if you dont like the look she gets mad, brushes off says sh3 cant spend this much time just one client. I mean come on I am spending so much money and time on you. It’s not like she is doing me a favor. My makeup was ok after so many tries but i think i couldve done better job myself for that much money. My hair looked terrible. I wanted voluminous big curls and she couldve even pulled that off. My hair was flat and curls came out after 3 – 4 hours. I even showed her pictures. For almost $ 500 i spend th3 services i got dodnt even worth $ 100. I couldve done better job myself. I got so f4ustrated that day and felt like crying. Terrible just terrible experience. I regret ever going to hwr everytime i looked at my wedding pictures. What a complete waste!

Jen is awesome! I loved my haircut, and I loved the comfortable environment of her studio. I’ll definitely be going back!

I just went to see Jen today to get highlights and left so so happy with my hair :) I had been scared of getting my hair colored for the longest time (I haven’t had highlights in almost 10 years!), but Jen made me feel so comfortable. Jen really listens to you and walks you through the process. She is so skilled at what she does and did a beautiful job with my hair. She also blew it out and made it look so soft, touchable, and bouncy and gave me some tips to replicate the look at home. I have never been so happy with my hair :) Thanks so much, Jen!

Jen is excellent! She is a great stylist and I am always pleased with my hair cut. She is flexible with scheduling and I enjoy the relaxing and comfortable setting of her in-​home studio.

I hired Styled by Jen for my hair and makeup for my wedding in October 2013. She did hair and makeup for myself and my two bridesmaids.
Prior to the wedding day, we did a practice hair and makeup day. Everything was perfect. We took pictures and made notes of all of the colors of makeup that were selected. I felt really good about everything, so I booked her right then.
When the wedding day came, Jen did not have the photos from the practice day. My makeup was not what we practiced (and I paid $ 180 for). Luckily I had photos of the hairstyle on Pinterest. I was very disappointed in how my makeup turned out. It even ran (and I did not cry at all).
Not to mention, my bridesmaids’s hair looked like there was no effort or care for how it was done. I could have done a better job.
Overall, I was extremely disappointed in the hair and makeup. Every time I look at my photographs I feel it.

I had a trial with Jen, and then hair and airbrush makeup on my wedding day in May. I have no regrets whatsoever. I have shorter hair so I wasn’t sure there was much to be done to make ‘wedding hair,’ but Jen created a lovely vintage curl that resulted in a lot of compliments. And I don’t like wearing much makeup, but the airbrush was pretty painless and looked great.

I recently went for my first haircut with Jen and she gave me the best haircut I’ve had in at least a decade! She listened to my needs and preferences, paid great attention to detail, and gave me the best possible cut and style for me. She also was very helpful in giving me tips on how to best style it myself. I also liked that I could schedule an appointment by email instead of having to call. I found my perfect stylist and never want to go to anyone but her ever again! Go to her and I’m confident you’ll soon be writing a similar rave review.

I hired Styled by Jen for my hair and makeup for my wedding, August 17, 2012. She also did the hair for the two mothers and four bridesmaids.
Personality: Jen is a sweet, down to earth, easy going, fun and above all talented artist. She is easy to work with, accommodating and able to go with the flow.
Work: She is amazing. I used her for airbrush makeup and I tell you, it was flawless. I brought her pictures of makeup that I wanted to emulate and she did, but for me… and made me feel really beautiful. She isn’t the type to create a face… instead she brings out the natural beauty that exists within us. This is nice, because you then do not have makeup caked on that you have to chip off. I did a trial for my hair with her and decided to change the style without an additional trial. The day of the wedding, I showed her pictures of hairstyles we all wanted and she worked her magic without any trial or preparation, she had our hair looking magazine ready in no time.
I fully recommend Jen to anyone looking for hair and makeup, even if not for a wedding. Her prices are reasonable and worth every dime.

I’m torn writing this review… Jen is super sweet, professional, and pleasant. Her studio/​apartment was comfortable. Here’s the problem… I just don’t love my haircut. Given, I went there with a vague idea of what I wanted… Layers, not too short in the front, keep the length. But she cut off what seems like ~5 inches (instead of the ~2 that we agreed on) and my hair is a uniform length all the way around… not a great look. It’s not a bad haircut, just a boring one. She made some adjustments to it, and she definitely seems to know what she’s doing… And my hair is bouncy and healthy after the cut… I just don’t think I’ll be returning. I wanted to try something new, especially because her prices are so reasonable, but I think I’ll be heading back to Nem at Gigi’s Aveda Salon for my next cut.

A bridesmaid of mine found Jen on Unilocal and I am sooooo glad she did! Jen did hair and makeup for me and 6 other ladies for my wedding. She did a great job, worked within the time frame allotted, and was nice and friendly as well! I highly recommend spending the extra money for the hair and makeup trial, Jen will even come to your house and you can work through what is best for you and your style. I didn’t feel rushed or overly made up, and I am very happy with the results. A very good experience over all! Thanks Jen :)

It’s really hard to find the perfect hair stylist, one who understands what you’re looking for and can always deliver. For me, Jen is one of these perfect stylists.
When I moved to New York, I was dreading the search for a new hair stylist. I love to change my hair up all the time, and I’d finally developed a great relationship with my hair stylist back home. I knew it would be tough to find someone who could get my hair right every time. I tried several salons, the last of which gave me a cut so not me it made me cry. A Unilocal search led me to Jen. She was able to fix the bad cut.
When it came time for my next trim (I’m trying to grow my hair out), I made another appointment with Jen. I love her home studio; it’s so much more comfortable than going to a busy salon. She’s the ultimate professional, paying careful attention to each cut she makes. She listens to what is wanted. She checks her work. She does everything right. I honestly can’t wait to have her do some color. In New York, she is a breath of fresh air!
My husband has also gone to Jen. He’s not the type of guy who usually gets excited by a haircut, but boy, was he happy after going to Jen! He’s been telling everyone he can about how great she is. And his hair looks great.
It’s safe to say we have found our new hair stylist in Jen. She’s excellent, a true pro. And she’s affordable! I highly recommend her.

Before I talk about Jen, let me just preface that I’ve become a bit jaded and bitter as far as New York hair stylist and salons are concerned. I’ve had several bad experiences over the years, and I had begun resorting to getting my hair done ONLY when I traveled home to visit my parents in Providence.
I was just having way too many experiences where I walked out of a salon, upset with the results and questioning whether I had somehow asked for the wrong thing completely.
After seeing all the great reviews about Jen, I emailed her for an appointment and saw her this past week.
I am completely in the dark when it comes to hair styling, hair upkeep, hair techniques, and Jen was thorough in asking what I wanted, and then explaining the options, what would look good, what would be easiest for me to keep up with, and how she could do it.
She did my hair, color, highlights and a complimentary cut, in her apartment salon, which was comfortable and inviting. She was personable and professional. It was AMAZING to forgo the feeling of a busy salon and know that I had %100 of the stylist’s attention.
I walked out of my appointment feeling like a bazillion bucks. My hair color is exactly what I wanted, a soft medium blonde that really ups my volume, and that is thanks to how well she understood what I wanted. And the trim she gave me really compliments the subtle highlights she added.
When it came to the price, I was surprised at how reasonable she was for such great service. What I paid for color, highlights and a cut was what I’ve paid for color service only in a salon.
I have not felt this good about my hair in a really long time, and I’ve got to say, Thanks Unilocal,for finding my new stylist for me!

Jen came to my apartment recently to get me ready for a photo shoot. She was super nice and professional. She did a great job on my hair and makeup; my photographer even remarked that my eye makeup looked fantastic.
It is really great to have someone that does on location hair and makeup. I’d definitely highly recommend Jen. She helped to keep me relaxed before an otherwise stressful event.

Jen Brooks is an amazing hair stylist and make-​up artist. We have been working together for a few years (I am a NYC based headshot photographer) and all of our clients have been truly pleased with their results. Jen makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease right away and does her research ahead of time so that she is fully prepared with the right products for each client. Jen is my favorite artist to work with as she has experience with both hair and makeup with a certificate from a Manhattan beauty school to back it up. As an actor herself, she truly understands what my clients need to look their natural best so that they will look exactly like their headshot when they walk into an audition.
