Jackie Schneider Beauty

Written by Elizabeth on Mike’s account: I hired Jackie for my wedding this past weekend, and she was simply amazing. She did an incredible job for me, my mom, and my sister-​in-​law. She made me look like a prettier version of myself, while keeping it largely subtle and not too dramatic. I am so grateful to Jackie also because she was so calm and professional, which is exactly the kind of personality you want around as the excitement of the day builds. Thanks, Jackie!

Jackie was amazing! She made me look stunning on my wedding day. I hired her for hair and makeup for myself and my mom, and she brought in a team of assistants for my bridesmaids and flower girl. We all looked and felt beautiful. Jackie and her team were professional, and a delight to work with. They finished on time, worked straight through the day (I literally didn’t see any of them take a break, especially Jackie!), which was amazing.
My hair and makeup lasted the entire day, flawlessly. My makeup even lasted the day after, and miraculously didn’t smudge, so I got to enjoy it for 2 full days! Jackie and I had done a trial a few months before, but the hair and makeup on my wedding day were even better than I had remembered. She really worked with the headpiece I had chosen, and brought to life my vision for the day.
I feel so fortunate to have chosen her for my wedding hair and makeup.

8 months later and here it is!
if you want an artist who really takes the time to get to know you and your aesthetic — jackie is the one :)
i am a bare bones kind of hair and make-​up gal. so when it came to making a decision of what i wanted my wedding look to be, i started googling and looking on pinterest. i found a ton of photos of what i liked… the problem was that it was all pictures of other people.
i ended up having 2 trials. turns out that my first try just wasn’t me. the reason i went back for a second trial with jackie and not just starting anew with someone else, was because she really got me. she knew something was off. like i said before, i really don’t take a lot of time with my hair and make-​up. so when i got home and started looking at the photos i knew this wasn’t the look i wanted. it wasn’t the make-​up — that was pretty much spot on– it was the hair. turns out i ain’t a messy up-​do kind of girl. even though jackie made it look really good, i realized it wasn’t what i wanted for the wedding. when i reached out to jackie, she completely understood and i scheduled another trial. the second time around– she nailed it.
i truly believe the reason that she is so amazing is because she takes the time to ask the right questions and really listen.
the whole wedding day i felt beautiful. thank you, jackie.

Jackie is the best! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding on June 21, 2014 and she made me look gorgeous. I don’t tend to wear a ton of makeup and really wanted to look like myself at my wedding, but still wanted enough makeup for our professional photos, and she did an amazing job (and she also made my bridesmaids look beautiful). Definitely do the trial since Jackie spends a lot of time with you then so that on your big day you are not worried about a thing relating to your hair/​mu. I would recommend her to all of my friends and to any brides out there in the BK. She’s GREAT!

Jackie as an absolute legend. I hired her for my July 4^th wedding and she was nothing but amazing. I had her to do my hair and makeup and her assistant to do my bridesmaids makeup. She nailed my brief to perfection and I am still getting comments on how amazing my hair was. I wanted something very non-​traditional, opting for a messy fishtail braid with a flower crown and twine braided through. The style looked effortless and rustic which is exactly what i was going for. It didn’t budge all day (and even if it did it would have added to the rustic chic) and needless to say was on the receiving end of many many comments. Love this girl.

I was searching and searching for the right hair and makeup artist for my wedding when I found Jackie Schneider’s website. I fell in love with her portfolio and really wanted to book her. Unfortunately I called and emailed Jackie numerous times and she never got back to me. In the end I had to go with someone who returned my calls.

I cannot say enough good things about Jackie. I asked her to do my hair and makeup for a wedding that I was in during the month of February and she did an amazing job. I left her studio around 1pm and my look was still perfect in pictures taken at 1am. She is the ultimate professional and is very friendly and comfortable to be around. Jackie listened to what I was looking for and executed perfectly and also added special touches. She took a lot of care to accentuate my eyes — blending the perfect shadows and adding lashes for that extra oomph. There should be an award for how she covered the dark circles under my eyes. The weekend of the wedding was actually not a blizzard (for once) so I wanted my normally curly hair down in loose waves and she executed perfectly. There was no frizz to be had even after spending time outside during a blustery day. I couldn’t have been happier with her skills and I will definitely be using her for any future opportunity for which I get to be gussied up.
Her studio is a very quick walk from the Q at 7^th and the 2 at Bergen and near the Barclay Center. Very easy to get to from Manhattan or Brooklyn.

What a woman.
Arranging a whole wedding from across the country is no picnic. Jackie was communicative, prompt, friendly and understanding from the very beginning. She waved the trial because it was a destination wedding, thank goodness, and was extremely patient with me and my maid of honor when she showed up and asked what we’d like, and we didn’t have a definitive answer. Honestly, I’m really glad we didn’t have a mental image of what we wanted, because we put our faith in her and she didn’t disappoint. We pretty much let her do her thing, and she made us look fabulous. My hair and makeup held up incredibly though the ceremony and party, which was incredible because it was 90 degrees and humid. I completely forgot to touch up with powder and lip gloss, but it didn’t even matter, I looked great at the end of the night. Jackie anticipated what my hair would do in those conditions and did such a good job at the updo, I… kept it up for another day. It was just so beautiful and stayed so well through sleep! I highly recommend her, and really enjoyed her craft and personality.
Thank you, Jackie. I can’t tell you how much Ann and I enjoyed your services.

Wow. Jackie was fantastic to work with. She did a great job during my wedding consultation a couple of days prior to my wedding in October 2013. However, I didn’t feel like I would be completely comfortable wearing the hair and makeup that we had discussed during the trial. Over the next day or so I tried to figure out what I needed done differently. On the morning of the wedding, I had a better idea of the few small changes that I needed. She listened, thought about it for a little while and then completely embraced my ideas and made them her own. I have never felt more beautiful. My hair AND makeup lasted until I got home at 4 am after a long night out dancing with my husband (yay!) and our friends. The photos are absolutely stunning, much thanks to Jackie.

Jackie did my hair and makeup for my wedding last month and I absolutely loved working with her and loved how she made me look. I barely know how to apply my own makeup or do anything with my hair beyond drying it with a towel, and Jackie patiently worked with me during the trial to figure out what would work best. I wanted to have as few wedding vendors as possible and was ecstatic to find someone who could do makeup and hair equally well. After the trial, I felt like the makeup was a bit too much, so she modified it for the wedding so that I still looked glammed up but was comfortable. I enjoyed hanging out with her and appreciated how patient she was when my wedding day dressing room transformed into a busy friend reunion as all my ladies started arriving with champagne and high energy. I would absolutely hire Jackie again to transform me into a 1920s superbabe.

Jackie was amazing. She was so patient through my indecisiveness and went through so many options for my trial. I ended up picking one of her ideas for my hair because it was so beautiful! She was prompt, responsive, hilarious, and so talented. My husband is not a huge fan of makeup but he thought I looked beautiful and that it wasn’t heavy – in fact, everyone at the wedding said I was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen! I couldn’t be happier with her. My makeup stayed on ALL day, including the lipstick. LOVE!

I have had the pleasure of being made-​up and coiffed by Jackie on numerous occasions. She listens… and that is a really big deal. I have a lot of fear when it comes to letting someone cut my hair, but I trust Jackie and that is because she listens closely and then asks direct questions to make sure we’re on the same page. In addition to being professional and reliable, she’s also a lot of fun to chat with. I highly recommend Jackie!

Jackie did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She came up with fun style with a vintage flair that looked great with both my grandmother’s 1941 high-​backed, long-​sleeved dress I wore for the ceremony and a strapless tea-​length 50s-​style party dress I wore for the reception. I felt completely comfortable and beautiful and the photos look great.
Jackie was always considerate of my concerns and a pleasure to be around — the kind of calm, reassuring presence that you want to spend the hours before your wedding around!

Jackie did my makeup for a photoshoot and it was a great experience. She made me look and feel so pretty! (And she was fun to chat with!)

Jackie Schneider is a pro! I am a photographer and I’ve worked with Jackie at a couple weddings as well as on some editorial jobs. On the weddings we shot together the bride’s (and bridesmaids) makeup was flawless and it looked amazing throughout the entire day. She’s professional and reliable, has a great personality and does a excellent job. I would definitely recommend her.

I hired Jackie to do my make-​up for my engagement photos in October. She did a great job of applying «natural glam» for my woodsy photoshoot at the Delaware Water Gap. She was really nice and personable and I would definitely recommend her!

Jackie did the makeup for my wedding in October 2011. Her work was simply phenomenal. For me, she did an elegant, classic look that photographed and wore well. I looked and felt beautiful. For my bridesmaids she created looks that matched their styles and personalities wonderfully. She had no problem managing my large bridal party and getting everyone done within our time constraints.
Jackie is a lovely person. She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable – a big plus on your wedding day.
I would absolutely recommend Jackie to any bride. I would also suggest doing a trial beforehand. I liked being able to try different looks. However, with an amazing makeup artist like Jackie, it’s probably not as issue to do everything day of. Jackie will make sure you are a happy, beautiful bride.

Jackie did the makeup for my wedding. She was great and I absolutely recommend her. She’s talented, friendly, and really tried to achieve the look I was going for. I love that she’s done some fantastic styles that are more funky/​retro, but can still totally pull off a classic look.
Only reason she got 4 stars was that my mom felt like her foundation was a little heavy and also I didn’t love the lipstick she recommended I buy for my wedding day.
Truly a great makeup artist! I DO recommend. Also her prices were very reasonable.

I hired Jackie to do makeup for my engagement shoot. I don’t wear much make-​up normally and I was really nervous I wouldn’t look like myself.
She did an amazing job. She made me feel comfortable, and worked with me to make sure that I looked beautiful and natural and not overdone, which is exactly what I wanted. She stayed through the whole shoot for touch-​ups so I didn’t have to worry about re-​applying, etc. It was perfect.
I highly recommend Jackie. She’s a pleasure to work with, she’s flexible and her rates are totally reasonable.

Jackie took the time in the consultation to really understand what kind of look I wanted. Through her experience and expertise with bridal makeup, she helped me to make some other decisions that I was unsure of.
On the day of my wedding I was extremely happy with my bridesmaids makeup and overjoyed with my makeup. Jackie managed to make me look natural, elegant and beautiful. I felt confident and beautiful. I would recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist for her big day.
