Pros: profeesional, talented

Cons: none

I found MVP Hair and Makeup online 1year prior to my wedding. Edgar was very professional from the first email messages we exchanged and made me feel very comfortable booking a vendor so many miles away from home. My package include a hair and makeup trial the day before my wedding and hair and makeup for myself along with after ceremony touch ups, hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids (7), the moms and my flower girls. I am a tomboy and not exactly comfortable being the girly girl but Melissa

I booked MVP after reading all the amazing reviews on here and I am so happy that I did. I initially wasn't keen on spending a lot on hair and makeup but after reading all the reviews and seeing the magic that Melissa creates, I decided this area was the one area I was going to splurge on. Coordinating with her husband Edgar was seamless - he was always responding promptly and answering any questions I had. When we went for my trial run - all I can say is wow. I came to her with a sheet of how I

Pros: Everything

I booked MVP Hair and Makeup Artistry for my TTD session in Cancun and I am so happy I did. Melissa and Edgar arrived promptly at my hotel. I did not have any particular hairstyle or makeup style that I wanted to have done so I left it all up to Melissa. Melissa did a wonderful job with both my makeup and hair and she was a delight to work with. I was grateful for her help with my dress changes as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a professional hair and makeup art

Melissa and Edgar exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Edgar is extremely responsive, polite and patient when you are corresponding with him regarding their services. Once you have their services booked, fret no more.    Melissa and Edgar are extremely punctual, professional and courteous. After arriving to my hotel in Cancun, Edgar helped Melissa quickly set up and she got to work on my trial. I told her my vision and went over some pictures but wanted to give her freedom since she

Pros: Everything

Cons: Not a con--but note that the day of they only accept cash

I feel like I'm just repeating all of the comments below, but they are all so true!! From start to finish, MVP was extremely professional to work with, and, more importantly, amazing at what they do. I have never had my makeup done, but I knew that I should on my wedding day "for pictures." I was still very hesitant because I like the way I do my own makeup and was terrified that a makeup artist would make me look a prostitute or some other overly made-up version of myself. My other fear was on

Pros: Talented, on-time, professional, no problems working with difficult hair

Cons: I need you in my life every day, why don't you live in Canada?? :)

Best.Decision.Ever! Starting this process I was worried that I would not be happy with how my hair and makeup turned out if left in the hands of the resort salon. So, i started searching for an outside vendor and came across Melissa and Edgar. I read brilliant reviews over and over again and it seemed that not one person had a negative experience with them. I sent an email off to request a quote and within 15 minutes I had a response from Edgar in my inbox! Edgar was always so quick to respo

Pros: Recreating my vision!!

Cons: That I couldn't take her home with me

Thankfully when the time came to choose a hair and makeup expert, I stumbled across this forum and found Ms. Melissa!! My experience working with Melissa and her husband, Edgar by far exceeded my expectations. They were both incredible partners during the entire process. As a destination bride, it was quite scary picking someone to trust in this process but right away Edgar put me as ease. Edgar was always quick to respond to any questions I had and always provided guidance when needed. When I a

Melissa was amazing! Couldn't of asked for more.

Pros: Perfection!

Cons: none!

Melissa and her team did hair and makeup for myself and my girls on my wedding day at Moon Palace in Cancun on 10/5/13. I couldn't have been happier with how professional, detailed, and all around great her and her team is! I love how Melissa has a great eye for what will work on you skin and face type. She prides herself in her work and will absolutely use products that work best for you rather than what will cost more. I really trusted her expert opinion! My makeup and hair never moved for t

Pros: Professional, courteous, perfectionist, great energy, etc. ad nauseam

Cons: She didn't fit in my suitcase :(

Melissa is an amazing makeup artist- she made me look and feel like an empress! I booked my wedding date and events with Melissa after researching makeup artists in Cancun thoroughly. I ultimately chose Melissa because of reviews I read about her and the pictures- which speak for themselves! She was highly professional, super upbeat and very creative! Best of all... SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST!! There is nothing I admire more than someone who seeks to produce the best product they possibly can,

I booked Melissa to do my hair and make up for 3 different events associated with my weeding in Playa del Carmen. She did my hair and make up for my trash the dress session, my rehearsal dinner party and my wedding. I can honestly say my hair and makeup where flawless for all three event.   Melissa and Edgar both di their research prior to my arrival and by the time I got into Playa for my wedding she knew exactly what I what look I was going for.

When my husband and I decided to get married in Mexico one of my biggest concerns, as it probably is with any bride, was hair and makeup.  Since I was having a destination wedding I didn't have the opportunity to do a trial run with a lot of hair/make-up services.  MVP was recommended to me by the hotel, Rosewood Mayakoba, and since I was doing a site visit I was able to do a trial test with Melissa.   Melissa is a phenomenal artist.  Not only did she do a beautiful job with my hair and ma

Pros: Everything!!!!

Cons: None

AWhen we decided to get married in Mexico I was extremely excited but became very nervous when thinking about who I could trust to do my hair and makeup. I searched websites looking for reviews and came across Melissa with MVP. I emailed her right away and was surprised to get a response back the same day. After telling Edgar and Melissa my needs, they assured me they would take care of everything. I could not be happier with the way everything turned out on my wedding day! Melissa was fabulous

I wanted to write a review for Melissa, Edgar and their team at MVP Hair and Make-Up Artistry as they were such an important part of our wedding day. My 3 bridesmaids and myself were so thrilled with having Melissa come and spend the morning before the ceremony doing our hair and make-up. We truly feel like she brought out the more polished and beautiful version of us all and there is nothing better than feeling exquisite as a bride on the day of your wedding. Melissa made me feel so comfor

Pros: Make-up and hair geniuses(!)

Cons: None

MVP Hair and Makeup was strongly recommended by my wedding planner, who has probably seen the hair and makeup work of almost every stylist under the Riviera Maya sun.  Nevertheless, crazy researcher bride that I was, I mulled over the decision as I continued to scour the BDW message boards for some time before ultimately going with my planner's suggestion.  By the time I booked Melissa, she was only available to do my wedding party's make-up, so had to book another stylist for our hair (waaah. 

Pros: Very professional, extremely talented, great listener

Cons: None

Melissa and Edgar were really amazing to work with. They are incredibly organized, efficient and most importantly, nice to everyone.  I had a traditional Indian wedding and an American reception in Cancun that included 3 different looks, and each look came out better than I imagined. We did trials for each look, which involved discussing with Melissa my likes/wants/needs, what I was wearing, where the events would be, etc. It was a really awesome collaborative experience, and I learned a lot fro

Pros: Professional, easy to work with

Planning for a destination wedding can be difficult since you have to rely on others to make everything come together just the way you want it.  I had been waiting my entire life for the wedding ceremony of my dreams (I'm in my 40s) and the one thing that was very important to me was that I look as beautiful as possible on our special day, especially for our pictures.  Having read some rather disappointing reviews of our resort's salon and being less than skilled at doing hair and makeup, I was

Pros: Professional, Great products, and fun personality

I had the pleasure of using Melissa for my wedding this past October at the Rosewood Mayakoba.  I found her through a recommendation from Rosewood.  I was pleasantly surprised at the quick and fast response I got within a few moments of my inquiry.  Melissa came for my trial and I instantly felt good about her.  She is super cute and has amazing energy.  Melissa took the time to ask me about my dress and what I wanted for the big day.  Melissa was extremely sensitive to the fact that I don't lik

This is the item on my budget where I splurged.  And so glad I did - it was worth every penny!  I paid for hair and makeup for myself, my 3 bridesdmaids, both our mothers, and hair for my little flower girl.  I figured, I'm spending so much on photography; what good is it if you don't feel like a movie star in front of those cameras!  I didn't know where to begin with my bridal look.  So I brought a few options that I thought may work with my short hair.  I gave Melissa complete creative freedom

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Being a perfectionist, I was extremely nervous about hiring a hair and make-up artist I had never met. I had no idea who or what to expect. When Melissa walked into my hotel room for my trial, all my worries were pushed aside. In walked a beautiful, calming professional. She had every brand and product imaginable. She listened to what I wanted and then gave me her input. Together we came up with the look I wanted to achieve.  I frequently have my make-up and hair done for events and I have ne

Pros: Beautiful Work, Great Service, and all-around Fun

Melissa handled my hair and makeup and the makeup for all of the women in the bridal party, a total of 7 people. She did an AMAZING job! After the trial, I couldn't stop staring at my reflection in the mirror because I had never seen myself look that way. I have honestly never felt more beautiful.   As an African-American woman, I was extremely nervous about finding someone with the knowledge of my unique hair texture and skin needs. Those nerves were put to rest the minute I found Melissa

Pros: two amazing dedicated people (edgar and melissa!), extremely talented make up artist!!!!

Cons: pricey (but priceless results, so WORTH every penny)

I have absolutely never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and I owe it all to MVP.  I will never forget looking at myself after my trial and feeling so relieved and excited.  I felt like a beautiful BRIDE, and I could not WAIT for the actual wedding day for Melissa to do my hair and make up again!!! Since I never spend much time on my hair or make up, I was a bit nervous.... but it turned out to be one of the most fun parts of being a bride!!! :)   Not only is Melissa a sw

Our wedding took place in April at the Catalonia Riviera Maya in Puerto Aventuras.  Booking our hair and make-up with MVP was an excellent choice!   From the very beginning, I was very impressed with the customer service as I emailed back and forth with Edgar.  Originally I booked for just myself quite far in advance, but eventually also added hair and make up for three bridesmaids and my mum; throughout all the booking changes Edgar was friendly, professional, and accommodating.
