Hiring Elena was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding! She did my makeup, as well as my mom and my bridesmaids and she made everyone look truly beautiful. I did two trials with her before the wedding and I really appreciated her attention to detail and that she took the time to listen to what I wanted. I love how my photos turned out, in large part because of Elena's skills in making me look and feel beautiful and glamorous, while still looking like "me" and not overly done. She is a very kind, calming presence and I appreciated having her there with my girls and I while we were getting ready. Thank you for everything Elena!! ~Dawn

I can't say enough good things about Elena Joseph and her team. I had planned to roll the dice with the salon at my wedding venue, but Elena came highly recommended by several of my vendors in Tampa. I made an appointment for a trial in her beautiful studio, and immediately felt at home. Elena is an exceptional listener and was able to grasp what I was going for with my wedding look, which was "very natural". I hardly wear any makeup normally and was nervous that heavy eye makeup would make me too "done up" and unrecognizable. Elena took the time to walk me through each step/shade of lash/eyeliner color until we got to the right look for me. She also nailed the updo that I wanted on the first try.

Going into the wedding day, I knew Elena would take good care of me, and hair/makeup were the least of my worries. It's not always as easy to please 7 bridesmaids, but they are STILL singing her praises! They were all smiles and clearly felt like the most beautiful versions of themselves for my wedding day.. and so did I.. win/win!

Elena is the full package of everything you would want in a vendor that spends time with you on your wedding day: great personality, calming presence, and superior talent. I highly, highly recommend her!

I loved Elena and would certainly recommend her to any bride. I initially went to her for an updo. Elena did a wonderful job. But after getting home I realized, it wasn't "me." I called her, scheduled a second trial and she was terrific. She completely understood and worked with me to find the look that suited my style.

The day of the wedding she was able to make the five other women in the wedding look beautiful too. All they had to do it bring her a picture of the hair style they wanted and it was done. Elena arrived on time, kept to her schedule and made everyone look and feel fabulous.....which is exactly what ladies want on their wedding day.

You won't be disappointed working with Elena Joseph! She is terrific!
