On-Location, Destination & Beyond
you're in the right place
Hi, I'm Merissa, an Orlando Bridal Hair & Makeup Artist
As a dedicated Orlando bridal hair and makeup artist, my goal is to help you feel confident, radiant, and beautifully camera-ready on one of the most meaningful days of your life. My journey began in the bayous of Southern Louisiana. After moving to Florida to pursue a career in professional dance, I unexpectedly discovered a new passion—bridal beauty. Inspired by the artistry behind each transformation, I enrolled at the prestigious Aveda Institute to refine my skills in hair and makeup. Since then, I’ve never looked back. For over seven years, I worked with Kristy’s Artistry Design Team. During that time, I became a certified Luxury Russian Hair Artist, advanced to lead stylist, and eventually took on the role of training manager. Working alongside Master Stylist Kristy Alonzo gave me the tools, confidence, and experience to launch my own brand: MAD Studios. Today, I provide on-location bridal hair and makeup services across Orlando and Central Florida. I specialize in timeless, natural glam that enhances your features and lasts all day. In addition, I create a peaceful and personalized experience for every bride—because how you feel during prep is just as important as how you look. If you're searching for a warm, detail-obsessed beauty pro to bring your wedding vision to life, you're in the right place. Let’s create a look that feels true to you—and one you’ll love seeing in your photos for years to come.
