My cousin used April for her wedding. She bought a package that included her and her bridal party. April was great! She was very friendly and great to talk to while she did your make up. She also set up at the hair salon where we were all having our hair done and did each of us around our hair appointments. She also did touch-ups for everyone before we left. Overall, very professional and flexible. For me, I'm not a big makeup wearer. I also have very long lashes but wear glasses, so I can't do mascara without painting my glasses black. April gave me a beautiful low-key look and used a liner along my eyelash line instead of mascara. She also covered up some unfortunate pimples that appeared a few days before the ceremony. Everyone loved their looks when she was done. I would recommend April for anyone having a wedding done.

Just had the most amazing facial experience with April. My skin feels absolutely amazing. After a week at sea a with the sun, my face was screaming for help. April brought my skin back to life. Also, be prepared to fall asleep during your facial. She's that relaxing. I can't wait until my next appointment.
April is the only person I trust with my spray tans and facials. She is so knowledgeable about the science of everything she is doing. When I get a spray tan from April - it boosts my confidence 💯. She gets how to make my pale Irish belly match the connected freckles skin color on my arms. I feel so comfortable in…
April gave me the best glow! I got an amazing hour long facial. The neck and shoulder massage was my favorite. My skin is sensitive and it didn’t react to any treatments. My skin care regimen that she thoroughly went through with me has me feeling like the day I left there. So clean and inviting.

On the day of the wedding, she and Christine were timely and friendly, and we received many compliments from guests on how beautiful the bridal party looked on the day of the wedding! I highly recommend April to any brides looking to hire makeup services on their wedding day.
Thank you so much Adelia! It was an absolute pleasure taking care of you on your wedding day!

Thank you Kelly! Always a blast pampering you with makeup for your special events!
Absolutely loved my service with April. She’s thorough and professional, but also welcoming and pleasant. I’ll be back!
Thank you so much! Always a pleasure when you are in 💕
I went for a facial after seeing many excellent reviews and following April on Instagram for quite some time. I had reached out to her last year to see if she was available for wedding makeup, but as expected, she was already booked! I treated myself to a facial last week and loved the entire experience. April was knowledgeable, friendly and I loved how adorable and clean her studio was! I thoroughly enjoyed my service and rebooked for next month before I left! I also recommended her to my mom, who made an appointment for this week! I hope she loves it as much as I did! I would highly recommend April Gusler!
Thank you so much Jill! It was a pleasure taking care of you for a birthday facial! Looking forward to meeting mom!
April is absolutely amazing! I went in for an hour custom facial and I left feeling on cloud 9 with glowing skin. April started the appointment asking about my skincare routine, allergies, medications to get a grasp on my skin. Once we started the facial she told me every step and what she was doing. As a person with allergies I struggle a lot and April looked at every item she was using to check the ingredients for me which warmed my heart not everyone is so accommodating! She was so educated and it was such a comfortable experience talking to her! The room was SO cozy with a nice heated bed and blankets. It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to go back totally sold on being a regular every month!
So lovely meeting you Victoria! Can’t wait to take care of you before your wedding!
April was my favorite wedding vendor to work with. First, because she is charming, professional, and lovely person but also, the quality of the product she provides is unmatched! I saw April for a litany of services leading up to wedding: facials, spray tans, trials, and I really enjoyed every appointment with her. She made me feel so confident and excited for day-of. April and Nina absolutely crushed day-of makeup for 5 bridesmaids and 2 moms! My bridal makeup was absolutely stunning and I LOVED it. April paid such close attention to the details of my look and really felt like my partner in bridal "look". I cannot recommend her more. I will continue to see April as an aesthetician post-wedding!
