Jade

I am the manager and event coordinator at Bridal Rush. My job is to handle all the day to day operations. I love that I get to work so closely with our team during the week and meet all of our beautiful clients at the salon and bridal studio. Each day I get to chat with our brides via email and make sure everything is running efficiently. Often you can find me working in our studio office or in the salon running the front desk.

Like Jess, I also am I mom to 3 daughters and when I am not working, I am spending time with my husband and kids! I used to be a salon client for years and would see Jenna for my cut and color! I am local to Port Jefferson, so I love to pop in from time to time and check in on everything! I love how we truly are a work family!

After graduating Makeup Designory School, I decided to move from California to New York to work for Bridal Rush. I have had the opportunity to help in all positions at the salon and studio, which I think has really helped me grow and learn what I am really passionate about. In 2023 I moved back to my hometown, Massachusetts, to be closer to family. I now work with Bridal Rush Boston + New York!

I am a hairstylist and makeup artist first and foremost. I love bridal beauty + am bellami certified in hair extensions. My dream is to mainly provide hair and makeup services for destination weddings!

One of my biggest accomplishments has been starting a lip gloss line with Bridal Rush, Lip Glacé. I am so happy to have had such positive feedback and cannot wait to add to our line. As an artist, I am always asking my clients, “Do you have a gloss to touch up with?”, now they do!

I keep busy during the week maintaining social media platforms and taking clients + trials! I also love installing hair extensions, I am Bellami certified!
My love for all things beauty does not stop with my work. In my spare time I enjoy sharing everything from skincare tips to my favorite purchases on my Like to Know It account! It’s so much fun to connect with clients on so many levels!

Gina

I started working with Bridal Rush 10 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve ever made!!!

The girls at Bridal Rush are my second family. When I first started I worked under Jessica every weekend , training to be able to book my own brides. Years later I am booked every weekend that I want to be and I couldn’t be happier. Doing hair and makeup for weddings makes me truly so happy. I love making brides feel beautiful on their special day. I also love staying connected to my brides + following them on IG and seeing them have babies + their lives grow.

I am a senior stylist and makeup artist for the team. Being a part of Bridal Rush is a dream come true for me. During the week I am able to be home with my family and still have a career on the weekends. I personally love doing soft glam makeup styles. I would say that is my signature look. I also enjoy doing classic bridal hairstyles. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me! I am looking to grow my family and grow and keep learning in my career!

Alana

I have been in this industry since I was 16. I’ve been doing makeup professionally for 10 years. During these years I have specialized and learned so many techniques that I use to create my signature bridal looks. I am so in love with makeup and everything that goes into it. I really take pride in taking the time to make sure that my clients love the way they look and I can’t wait to meet new and existing brides on their special day!

In my spare time I spend time with my boyfriend and my family. I am a big animal lover and just overall lover of life!

Melinda

I am a balayage specialist & stylist at Bounce Salon. I absolutely love the challenge of color correction. I pride myself on continued education and always love to keep up to date on the latest trends and best products. To me, knowledge is key. Over the years I have found my passion in taking my time with each of my clients to create colors that they dream of. I often tell my clients good things take time and color can be a process, but the outcome is worth it! I love to see their faces light up when we achieve what they thought wasn’t possible. I encourage my clients to book color consults with me, to plan for the look they want. I have loved working with many of our brides to create beautiful tones for their wedding day hair!

When I am not working I love my family time, my pups and shopping!

Gina B

I left my nursing position to work for Bridal Rush and I am so much happier! As a mom of 3 daughters, the work environment and hours at my previous job, made it difficult to juggle a career and kids. Before I took on nursing I worked in a hair salon, so it has been great to rekindle my love for hair and work specifically in bridal. It has been so exciting to see my calendar book up with events and I love working with our team.

Aside from bridal styling, I am also a sales consultant and educator on hair products that I love and use every day! Being able to work part-time and with flexible hours, has been great and allowed me better, more quality time with my family!

Rachel

I work for Bridal Rush as a lead stylist.  I just recently got married this past July (yes, COVID bride). I have been a hairstylist for almost 10 years and still love everything about it! Bridal Rush has given me an opportunity to flourish and has helped me grow in both knowledge and application with styling, with the bonus of working under an incredibly talented boss and alongside the greatest team! My prayer is that my work continues to expand and improve, that I can always accomplish whatever style is asked of me, and that each bride has the most comfortable and enjoyable experience in my chair. I’m looking forward to all of my future brides and I thank you for trusting me with such a special day in your life.

Denise

As a young girl I always wanted to be a hair stylist. I’ve been working in a salon for 20 years. I specialize in cutting hair. Taking the time to consult with my client to find a style that best suits them and their lifestyle is my favorite part.

Working with Bridal Rush has enabled me to use my craft to fulfill a brides wedding hair dreams. Using my creative side outside of the salon has really filled my cup. I love being a part of a team with such supportive and talented women.

Outside from working in the salon and for Bridal Rush I enjoy spending time making memories with my son.

Antonia

I have been a makeup artist for over 26 years, training with top makeup companies including Mac and Chanel. My motto is “When you look beautiful you feel beautiful” and it’s that kind of happiness that I try to give to women every day.

Chanel

I’ve been professionally doing hair and makeup for 6 years but the passion for the beauty industry started when I was about 13. I would watch YouTube videos and practice on friends and family and I knew that this what I wanted to do. I now have been with Bridal Rush for over 2 years and it has been the best decision I have made in my career. I’m a single mom so sometimes it gets hard to juggle working full time but I get to do what I love and now I have time to spent with my little guy.

I must say I am so proud to be apart of this team of talented women. I am able to be creative and flourish within while also learning and excelling every step of the way. My goal for every event I work is to provide exceptional work and make every single person feel absolutely stunning and confident while bringing amazing vibes on each and every location. I look forward to working with you all!

Rachel Di Giovanni

I have been a hairstylist and makeup artist for over 18 years. I specialize in modern classic looks, with my own customization to make brides feel fun and comfortable. My goal is to attend continuing education classes each year so as to always be knowledgeable of the best and healthiest techniques to use. When I was a little girl, I would highlight my Barbie’s hair with nail polish & cut it with nail clippers-I would end with the perfect updo for my Barbie’s wedding to Ken! I quickly fell in love with all things beauty, because it made it possible for me to express my creative side and I truly believe I have the best job in the world and couldn't imagine doing anything else. Working with the Bridal Rush Team & our Founder Jessica has been a dream come true!

Jackie

I finished beauty school in late 2007 and then decided to move forward with taking a few makeup classes! In a few months, I was “thrown into the fire” when a bridal MUA cancelled day off, last minute and stepped in and did amazing glam. I walked away from this wedding knowing bridal makeup was what she was meant to do and is so excited to part of the Bridal Rush team.  I have known the stylists at Bridal Rush for quite a while, just from being in the beauty business, and I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing team! I feel like I was just adopted into this amazing family, everyone is so supportive of each other and I really can’t wait to see what my future within the company brings.  I love everything relating to weddings. There is nothing like the excitement of a wedding morning, and I love that I get to be just a small part of that.  Family time means everything to me, so when I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and two children.

Grisel

The last few years being behind the chair has taught me a whole lot and has been an amazing journey thus far! It makes me incredibly happy to have the opportunity to help my clients achieve their desired look, but more importantly, I love to help my clients to feel more beautiful, empowered, and confident. It is the greatest reward a stylist could ever receive.

My family is everything to me, and spending quality time with them is always a priority. In my free time, I like to go to the gym and lift weights, I love journaling, listening to music, or a podcast. I have a little fur baby named Simba. I love to travel and get out and see the world and what it has to offer to learn each destination and their culture, food & more is very exciting. I’m a huge foodie and love to try all types of food(so if you have any recommendations please let me know.)

I’m grateful to be part of an amazing group of women who inspire and help me grow every day as a stylist. These women encourage me to be my best authentic self. I’m a strong believer in continuing education and improving any sort of skill whether it’s the smallest or biggest technique could do a huge impact behind the chair. Looking forward to being part of your journey.

I’ve always had a passion for hair and makeup. I started dabbling into hair at the age of 8 and did my first client makeup application at the age of 16! I can say my techniques have drastically evolved over the last 25 years. I’m thrilled and excited to be a part of this amazing team and grow as a stylist and artist. There’s such a sense of accomplishment when clients feel happy and look their best. I’m eager to spread that magic within Bridal Rush
The best part of my life is my family. After 3 months of dating, I married my soulmate. I became a wife and stepmom to two beautiful girls. Last year we welcomed our miracle baby boy into the world. When I’m not taking care of my children, I’m snuggling up with my two fur babies.
I put my heart and soul into everything I do and I’m excited to continue my education and build long lasting relationships with my clients and coworkers.
