Aleksandra and Jackie were totally awesome. When it comes to my bridal look, I am very picky. I did two makeup/hair trials with them before my wedding in April. And we tried many different looks so I can make a good decision on the style and details of the look. Aleksandra gave me very good suggestions on my look and makeup in general. Whatever makeup photo I show her, she understands right away and can replicate the look on my face. Working with her was very interactive, she will stop and ask my opinion many times to make sure that I get exactly what I want. Jackie always shows up with her complete set of tools (it's a lot) and she can make my hair whatever way I want them. She understands my concerns and address them very well.

I had an afternoon wedding so they had to arrive quite early at my hotel, and both of them showed up even earlier than I asked. They were great with my bridesmaids too. We all looked fresh and beautiful on the big day. On top of that, my makeup stayed on my face very well for the whole 6.5 hours, I didn't even need to retouch anything once, except for the lip. My hair was also holding up very well. As Jackie said: you can sleep in the updo and you will still have the updo tomorrow morning :)

And Aleksandra and Jackie are both so nice and fun to be around with!! I am so happy I chose them for my wedding day.

Aleksandra was wonderful! She's very sweet, understands skin and sensitive skin, took time to understand the look I was hoping to achieve, and exceeded all expectations. She was also wonderfully patient with my mom who was nervous, because she doesn't wear make up often, and she felt beautiful!

I thought I'd cry a little, but cried through much of the ceremony and worried I had 'undone' all of Aleksandra's beautiful work, but was thrilled to see not only had the mascara held up, but everything looked flawless! I just need to touch up my lipstick.

Aleksandra did my makeup for my wedding along with the maid of honor. She was fantastic - beyond my expectations. I was initially very concerned having anyone do my makeup because of a past bad experience where the person clearly did not know how to deal with Asian eyes, so I was a bit scared, but Aleksandra was very patient and made me feel very comfortable when running through the trial. I would definitely hire her again, and would even take a makeup class with her. My maid of honor was also very impressed with her work and joked that she needed to hire her every morning to come and do her makeup.

Jackie was the hair stylist for our group and also did a fantastic job. She was able to easily replicate all of the photos we showed her and make any requested adjustments. My hair looked perfect all night long - not a strand came undone!

Both ladies were very professional and helped the whole group feel comfortable both in the trial run and on the day of the wedding - on time! Responsive! Worked quickly! Really could not have asked for anything more!

I cannot say enough good things about Aleksandra Ambrozy! She is absolutely phenomenal! From our first meeting, I told Aleks that all I wanted was to make my husband say "Wow" when he saw me coming down the aisle. She did that and more. His first words to me were, "You look so beautiful". That was all due to Aleks. Aleks also did the makeup for my matron of honor. She was also blown away, and plans on taking makeup lessons with Aleks in Philly.
I feel that Aleks truly made my wedding! She set the tone for the day, and gave me more confidence than I've ever had in my life. Aleks made me feel exactly like ALL brides should feel on their wedding day--like a princess! Thank you, Aleks! You are beyond wonderful!!

I was very happy with my hair and make-up for my wedding! Aleksandra did my make-up and Kelsey did my hair. At the trial, I brought along some photos of hair and make-up that I liked. Aleksandra and Kelsey were very accommodating. They listened to my feedback and gave me exactly the hair and make-up I wanted for my wedding. Both of them were very flexible. Thank you Aleksandra and Kelsey!!

I was getting married on 12/12/12 in Maryland - a planned elopement if you will. Being I am from Philadelphia, I was stressing BIG TIME over who was going to do my hair and makeup. After all... this was still my wedding day. No one except the inn keeper of where we were getting married, the photographer we hired and the people who issued our marriage license knew about my wedding. And in my opinion, the hair and especially the makeup, make or break everything, especially the photos!! I knew no one in Maryland, and I certainly could not ask anyone for recommendations as my secret wedding would have been revealed. Well, it was like I received a sign from above...

A friend of mine who is in the modeling business posted Aleksandra's web page on Facebook. I then saw the post and the rest was pure fate. I contacted Aleksandra, she was willing to travel to Maryland to do my hair and makeup and I was able to fit in a trial session. All for an EXTREMELY reasonable fee!!!

Aleksandra can do anything from a classic bride look to a more modern, trendy-edgy wedding day look. She does both airbrush foundation and traditional foundation application and has a palate of colors for eyes, cheeks and lips that is fabulous. She came loaded with flat irons, curling irons, pins and has tons of knowledge about working with hair extensions!! AND, she is 100% understanding of the look that you want and makes it happen!!!

I 100% recommend Aleksandra for your wedding day whether you are flying solo like me, or you need her and a team of hair and makeup artists!! She WILL make your dream day a reality!!!

I can't say enough good things about Alenksandra Ambrozy. She came highly recommended by a friend of mine who is a hair stylist who has worked with Aleksandra on multiple weddings and was also a client of hers as well. I never even had a makeup trial with Aleksandra because her reputation was so good and I trusted her judgement. IT TOTALLY PAID OFF! I had never had my make professionally done before so I was a little nervous but Aleksandra was so professional and efficient. She immediately calmed my wedding day nerves. She was more than happy to come to the hotel I was getting ready at and was able to complete my makeup along with my two bridesmaids in a little over an hour. I can't tell you how many compliments all of us got that day on our makeup. It felt so light yet it stayed on the entire night through hours of dancing etc. I didn't even have the airbrush makeup done and it still stayed on beautifully all night. I will recommend Aleksandra to all of my friends who are looking for an exceptional makeup artist for a reasonable price. Thanks again! Pictures to follow:)

I found Aleksandra online after a failed make-up trial with another artist. I was planning a wedding out of state so an online portfolio was important in my decision making. After seeing Aleksandra's diverse portfolio I knew I had to book a trial with her. I'm so glad I did.

She is super sweet, professional, and of course an amazing artist. It is hard to find a non-Asian artist that knows how to apply make-up on Asian faces but Aleksandra knew exactly what she was doing. She did my makeup as well as my three bridesmaids and the two mothers and everyone looked great.

Thank you Aleksandra for making my wedding party so beautiful!!

Aleksandra's work is amazing. She came to our hotel right on time and was able to get all 6 girls done quickly but most importantly- perfectly. Our traditional makeup lasted all day requiring minimal to no touching up. My mom who never wears makeup got SO MANY comliments that she has now become a religious makeup wearer! I wore fake eyelashes but they were applied so well they looked completely natural in all of my photos and I barely noticed they were there (unlike when I apply them myself). Overall I think she did a great job.

Her colleague, Jackie, did all of our hair and I was impressed with how quickly she worked! All of our styles turned out beautiful...she was very flexible- even worked with extensions (thrown at her the last possible second) and was able to get a complicated barette and bird cage veil on my head exactly how I envisioned them (accessories we didn't have at the time of my trial). We were all very satisfied and impressed with both our hair and makeup and I would highly recommend both! The services are a little pricey but for the convenience of having them come to you it was well worth it! Thanks so much for making us as beautiful as possible on my wedding day :)

Aleksandra was wonderful to work with! She made me look like a princess for my wedding (or at least feel like one). She was so nice and easy to work with. The makeup stayed on all night, without requiring any touch ups, except for the lipstick. She did my sister's makeup for her wedding a few years ago, and I had my makeup done by her and my makeup stayed on until the morning! If you're looking fo a great makeup artist in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area, I highly recommend Aleksandra.

Aleksandra and her team did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding day!! Aleksandra is truly a professional and talented make-up artist. I had several make-up trials with other people before I found Aleksandra and I am SO grateful that I found her. She is not only talented with make-up but is genuine and warm and a true pleasure to be with on your wedding day!! I highly recommend Aleksandra for any wedding, wedding party, or special event where you want to look and feel your very best!! MANY MANY thanks to Aleksandra and her team for helping make my wedding day so special!!!

Aleksandra's services were exceptional the day of my wedding and the days leading up to it. She worked with me on times and scheduling of trials and made the whole process very stress-free. If there was something I didn't like about my makeup in the trial she fixed it no problem and put my mind at ease. On the day of my wedding she had another one earlier than mine which made me a bit nervous with timing, but she showed up early and ready to go. Her assistant showed up at the scheduled time and helped with a few of my girls and the groom's mother's makeup. My mom was nervous about getting hers done because she had not had a trial and is very picky about her makeup, but Aleksandra made her look beautiful and she was very happy. As for my makeup, it was better than the trials and almost made me cry when I saw it! I loved it and was very happy with Aleksandra's work. She made everyone look beautiful and I would definitely book her again.

Aleksandra was incredible. I was really nervous to have my makeup done for the wedding because I am definitely a minimalist when it comes to everyday makeup, and when I've had my makeup done in the past I end up looking very clown/hooker-like. I did a trial run with her and absolutely loved the way the makeup looked (she did EXACTLY what I wanted, with the photo I gave her of an example), and even when I emailed her a few days later to say that in retrospect, I thought the foundation had a little too much shimmer, she was happy to adapt her plan. The day of the wedding, she was on-time, professional, did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids & mom, did an AMAZING job on my makeup, and was even willing to throw some blush on my grandmother at the end, just for fun! Love her!
