Pros: Amazing work!
Cons: Didn't have Melissa long enough
When planning my wedding in Mexico, I searched for the perfect makeup/hair artist in the Rivera Maya, and I am so lucky I found MVP. I read plenty of excellent reviews online stating how amazing their work is. I soon emailed MVP and within a few hours received an email back answering all my questions. During the next several months leading up to the wedding, MVP touched based with me regarding styles etc and answered all my questions promptly.
The Big day came quickly and MVP helped all my dre

Pros: Communication, Finished product
Wedding Date: Thursday May 10, 2012
Location: Gran Bahia Principe Akumal
I used MVP for my wedding in May 2012. Melissa & Edgar were both great and very easy to deal with. Edgar always replied to my emails within a couple of hours and answered all of my questions. After seeing my makeup trial my mom decided to get her hair & makeup done as well for the wedding day. Melissa's work speaks for itself!
In total 3 ppl get both hair & makeup done, another 3 got their ma

Pros: Professional, fun, talented
Cons: No Cons!
I hired MVP for my wedding on May 7th in Cancun. Melissa and Edgar were amazing to work with!! They were very professional and answered all of my questions and provided me with information quickly. At first I wasn't going to have a hair and makeup trial, but after talking to Melissa and Edgar I decided to get a trial done and am sooo happy I did, it relieved a lot of anxiety about how my hair and makeup was going to turn out and after my mom and sister saw my makeup they both asked to have Melis

Pros: Can go on for days!!
Cons: None
I used MVP/Melissa for my April 7th wedding at Azul Beach. Both Melissa and Edgar were a pleasure to deal with. After booking my hotel I think I booked hair and makeup. I had read reviews on BDW and I was drawn to something to about MVP. They were easy to deal with, answered emails quickly and payment was easy. I went with the trial and hair and makeup for the day of the wedding. We arrived that Wednesday and we scheduled an appointment with Melissa for Thursday. She was on time, curteous and a

Pros: everything!
Cons: nothing
I used MVP/Melissa Parry for my wedding on March 23, 2012, and she was AMAZING! I brought her a few inspiration pictures for the trial (which I would highly recommend doing if you have the time prior to your wedding day...I wasn't going to intially and am now so glad I did...relieved a lot of stress on the day of the wedding). We discussed which photos I liked and disliked, she had some ideas based on wind factor and weather, and she came up with a beautiful style for me. The make-up was also

Pros: creative, professional, kind
Cons: NONE
Melissa and her team at MVP Hair and Make-up were amazing. They made me (the bride), my mom, sister and bridesmaids look amazing. They were kind, professional and creative. We all loved everything they did and each girl looked like a more beautiful version of themselves. Perfect. I wish Melissa was with me everyday! I highly, highly recommend her team to anyone in the Cancun, Playa del Carmen area.

Pros: On Time, Professional, talented makeup and hair stylists
Imagine walking down the aisle feeling light headed, totally present and glowing from the inside. Your heart is open to the love that surrounds you. Your groom awaits you and you feel beautiful inside and out. It's our moment you think to yourself. He looks at you in awe and all that escapes his mouth is "wow". You feel the way you have always dreamed you'd feel on this day. This was the moment I felt on my wedding day and Melissa helped to create the magic. Her talent far exceeds that of an exp

Pros: Profesisonal. Prompt, Talanted, Friendly, Outgoing, Easy to Communicate with, Flexible
Cons: Absolutely None
This is a very log overdue review of my Amazing experience with MVP Hair and Makeup Artistry.
My journey with MVP started at the beginning of last year when after finding them on different bridal websites I decided to email them. My initial email was to inquire about their services. I remember that within a few minutes of my initial email I received a reply back from Edgar with a list of their services. Since I was having a small wedding in Cancun I only needed my hair/makeup to be done

Pros: current styles, long lasting application (even in the heat), fast and really friendly and professional!
Cons: none that I can list
Professional, talented, quick, friendly and fun to be around, and most importantly their styles are current and stylish - I work in a large american market (Chicago) and they are as good as my artists here!

I got married at the Ceiba Del Mar resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico on December 3, 2011 and had the pleasure of hiring Melissa to do my hair and make-up. My husband and I traveled down to Puerto Morelos, Mexico in March of 2011 to meet with vendors and MVP was one of them. From the start I really liked Melissa and Edgar. My make-up trial went smoothly and she took the time to ask questions and to get to know me. I highly recommend brides to be to do make-up trials with their prospective vendo

My wedding was November 19, 2011 at the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Melissa and her assistant were prompt and ready to work for the day at 7 am since our first look pictures were scheduled to begin at 1 pm! They beautified my bridal hair and make up, my mom, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and two matrons of honor as well. I was all ready and set for the entire day and night, feeling absolutely beautiful and ready to marry my best friend. Melissa listened to my thoughts and

Pros: Loved everything!
I was married September 24th at theRosewood Mayakoba and worked with you and Melissa. I just wanted to take a moment to write to you and tell you how awesome and amazing Melissa was! I absolutely LOVED my wedding look! You were so right in the fact of getting my hair and make up done, was a memorable part of the wedding experience, and captured the look in photos forever. I recall when I first contacted you I was nervous about the pricing, as it seemed for the wedding everything was so ex

My wedding was July 30, 2011 at the El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Let me start by saying I am from Miami and, even though this is going to sound terrible, I am a bit vain. I was terrified about choosing someone to do my hair and makeup without ever having a trial. I found MVP and requested some pricing. Since I am a destination wedding planner that works quite often with wedding coordinators in Mexico, I wasn't expecting a response for a couple of days. Boy was I wrong! Edgar emaile

Melissa and Egar are wonderful! From the beginning, they have been nothing but professional and enjoyable to work with! I found Melissa through other bridal reviews and loved the more "modern" look she gave to brides. I love make-up and fun hair so I knew we would be a perfect match :) Exchanging emails back and forth with both Melissa and Egar was extremely easy and they were very efficient with responding right away or within responsible time.
I met Melissa and Egar in the lobby o

Pros: Amazing style, great eye, knows how to make everyone look their best, awesome communication
Cons: none!
I cannot even begin to tell you all what an amazing job Melissa did at our wedding! Her and Edgar were always very quick to respond to any emails or concerns I had. They reassured me when I had worries prior to the wedding (My hair frizzes, what style will work for the heat?? I don't want my bridesmaids waking up early, can we start at 11am and still fit everyone in?) and always worked with me on anything I needed. I never waited even a day for a response, the communication was awesome.

Pros: Efficient, professional, easy to deal with and very responsive
Cons: None
It was such a pleasure to work with the Edgar, Melissa and the team.
Edgar worked with us for about 6 months with planning and helping us to decide what worked best for our group. He was flexible and tried to work with us whenever we had to make changes.
Melissa came on the day of the wedding with 2 other gals to do the bride, 6 bridesmaids and MOB's hair and makeup. They helped us pick styles that were great for the humidity. They stayed with the bride until she walked down the aisle

Pros: Friendly, Proffesional, Kind, Talented.
I booked with MVP for my trial and wedding day hair and makeup for my wedding on May 5. Melissa and Edgar are fantastic! From the beginning when asking for a quote they offered quick, friendly service. I researched many other artists in Cancun and their prices are very competitive and they were the quickest to respond to me.
Melissa was very meticulous with my hair and makeup trial and even through there had been a miscommunication about meeting that day causing us to start later (which

Pros: Professional, Speaks English, Friendly, extremely talented and on time.
Cons: none.
I booked Melissa to do my wedding which was on 23rd March 2011, I found her from doing a google search on Make-up and hair artists in Cancun. From reading reviews on travel websites and from seeing Melissa's web site I emailed asking if she was available for my wedding, when I received a reply back I booked her straight away without meeting her. I got a really good feeling from her web site and the correspondence received and knew I was in good hands. I met Melissa when I had a make-up trial to

My husband and I were married in January 2011 in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, and I am so glad to have chosen Melissa to be a part of our day.
Initially I was having a difficult time deciding whether to have my hair and make-up professionally done, and my wedding coordinator recommended that I work with Melissa Parry (MVP) on my wedding day. From the first email inquiry, I was immediately impressed with Melissa’s promptness. Throughout the course of the next several weeks, Melissa answered ev

Pros: easy to communicate, prompt response to emails, flexible
I initially planned on doing my own make-up and hadn't booked anyone to do my hair. As my wedding date approached I realized I didn't want to stress about doing my own make-up so I search this website and looked at the prospective vendors. MVP by far suited my style. I contacted Melissa via email on March 29th to book my April 16th wedding. She responded almost immediately. Throughout those next few weeks, Melissa and Edgar were very easy to communicate with since they both respond super q

Hello Future Brides, I did use Melissa Parry for my wedding on February 26th, 2011 so it took me while to get my review posted. I booked her a few months before my wedding and I was staying and getting married at the Moon Palace Cancun. Melissa and a few assistants met myself and my wedding party in my room at 8am sharp to get started. Melissa and the people she works with are very organized and professional from the booking to the day of my wedding. I was very stressed out about finding someone

Pros: perfection!
Cons: none.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Melissa. She is amazing! Anyone searching for a hair and makeup artist in the R.M/Cancun area should stop looking! Seriously. Before finding Melissa, I had FOUR hair and make-up trials including one with Fernando, who is very popular amongst the destination brides. NO ONE came close to what Melissa did. She really understands what a young, modern bride wants.
On my wedding day, Melissa did my hair and makeup at the hotel (Fairmont)

I had my makeup and hair trial with Melissa, ahead of my wedding (which is in May). She was fabulous -- patient, detail-oriented, and committed to making me look perfect. She is also very up-to-date with the latest styles and techniques, which was important to me (my goal is to look fresh and not too done up). Melissa met me in my hotel room and first asked me how I wanted to look on the big day. Then she gave me some easy, low-cost beauty tips (drinking lots of water, deep conditioning my h
