    Beautiful hair and makeup

    Dina Alon did a wonderful job on my wedding day. Dina and Lauri Marshall were able to do hair and makeup on 9 people all from a hotel room. They handled everyone’s requests with ease, and everyone looked beautiful. I typically don’t’ wear much in terms of makeup, and Dina was able to give me an “amped up” natural look. Plus the airbrushing truly makes a big difference in giving a natural feel but helps hide any redness, imperfections, etc. In addition, my hair held the whole day even with the high winds that Mother Nature decided to throw our way. Dina truly has a gift and should be used for everyone’s hair and makeup needs.

    Dina and her team were so easy to work with. I had a full trial a few months before the wedding where she patiently tried multiple hair styles with me, which made me feel very confident and excited for her to do my hair and makeup. On the day of the wedding I even totally changed how I wanted my makeup and she easily adjusted and made my makeup look perfect!

    I planned a low stress, last minute wedding at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. I went with Dina Alon because they were local. Carolyn was wonderful at taking my ideas and making them work. My hair and makeup were beautiful. I will be back again. I highly recommend Dina Alon. Everyone was very friendly, very professional.

    It was very hard to find a salon that would not charge an arm and a leg to come to the bride's location. With 10 bridesmaids and a wedding event that was one of five because of a multi-cultural wedding, going to the salon was not an option. Dina Alon Hair and Make-Up Studio came to my wedding party, fit my budget and the professionalism and responsiveness was outstanding! They also did an excellent job with my hair and make-up!

    Ashley and Tiffany from Dina Alon hair and make up did an amazing job for my wedding. Many people even commented on how great my bridal party's hair looked and held up through the night. They were easy to work with and we all had a great time getting ready. Our make up looked natural but pretty and our up-dos were classic without looking prom-y. I highly recommend the girls at Dina Alon for hair and make up for any big or small events!

    Dina and her team are fabulously talented and amazing to work with. The hair and makeup of my bridal party was beautiful, lasted all night, and look amazing in photographs. As a bride, it was wonderful to have a team of stylists who were very relaxed, entertaining and flexible with my last minute changes and the chaotic scheduling having so many people to get ready for the big day. Everyone was extremely happy with their "looks" and we would recommend Dina and her team to anyone in the greater Philadelphia area

    Absolutely amazing. If you want top of the line, perfection for hair and makeup on your day. Stop here. I've been going to see Carolyn for years and she and Tiff made the day absolutely wonderful for me. I didnt have a care in the world and everyone looked fantastic.

    I used Dina Alon Salon for my wedding this spring and cannot say enough about how great they were to work with. Dina and all of her staff and incredibly talented and they did an amazing job with everyone's hair. They are so nice and made us all feel relaxed and beautiful on a very exciting and nerve provoking day. I would definitely recommend Dina and her team!

    I have been going to this salon since its inception. Not only does the salon always make me look great, but it's always such a wonderful experience going there. Besides my general haircuts I had Ashley do my wedding hair. I had an idea in mind and she executed it perfectly, if not perfected what I had seen in the photo.

    We were very pleased with the hair and makeup (airbrush) services that Dina and Leslie performed for my daughter, her bridesmaids, flower girl and mothers this past weekend!! They even were able to accommodate the last minute hair and makeup addition of an aunt as well! They were prompt and cheerful when they arrived at our hotel despite the newly fallen snow!!

    Our trial services were also definitely worth the investment!! Their salon is beautiful and convenient.

    I recommend the Dina Alon Studio for anyone's special day!

    Dina Alon is a very calm and professional hair and makeup artist. She works with brides all the time and even some celebrities for TV and fashion shows, and she is great at what she does. Dina and one of her assistants came to my hotel / venue to do my bridal hair and makeup and also some of my bridal party. I could not have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! She takes feedback really well and her mantra is "as long as the bride is happy I'm happy" which is exactly what you want to hear on your wedding day.

    Her and her team do hair and makeup in the salon at 20th and Sansom or come on site at no additional charge. I had been to Dina as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and also as a bride for my own and would recommend her services to anyone!

    My daughter got married in Philadelphia and we found Dina's and there were about 10 of us that used their services for hair and makeup (including the bride).. I cannot say enough good things. We all looked fabulous, it was a whole day of fun before the big event. I got airbrush makeup and a couple people were convinced I had a cosmetic procedure done cause they couldn't believe it was me. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dina Alon Hair and Makeup Studio made me and my bridesmaids look amazing! I was an out of town bride and was very late in booking hair and make-up. I called just 6 weeks before my wedding and Stephanie answered the phone. She was able to answer my questions and send me information via email. After looking the information over and visiting their website and pinterest photos, I decided to select Carolyn based on looking at her portfolio online. I found out that she had appointments already on my wedding day which made my heart sink; however, Carolyn called me and said she would call her other appointments to see if she could move them that day. I was so surprised and happy at that level of care and service, and it turned out she was able to move her appointments and accommodate me!

    I went in to the salon for a trial the week of my wedding. Carolyn was sweet and calm and looked at a photo of an updo that I liked and was able to re-create it. She also did my make-up that day. I normally wear little to no make-up so I was very nervous about this part. Carolyn listened and made adjustments as I needed and assured me that it would look great in photos, and she was right!

    On my wedding day Carolyn and Tiffany arrived at our ceremony location. They were a little late due to difficulty finding parking; however, they were able to finish hair and make-up for myself, my 3 bridesmaids, and my future mother in law in time. I shared a few changes I wanted to make on my hair and makeup and Carolyn was able to make them on the fly. Tiffany was also wonderful and my bridesmaids looked gorgeous and said they loved their hair and make-up. My hair stayed up all day and night (which is a miracle given my straight hair) as did my girls' hair and we received many compliments! Our make-up also looked great throughout the night with a few touch-ups.

    Overall, I would absolutely recommend Carolyn and Tiffany at Dina Alon! Thank you so much for making me look and feel amazing!

    I will forever be grateful to Carolyn Barrett for her amazing work on my wedding day. We did a trial run for my engagement photos a few months before and, although I loved the makeup and the photos came out great, it was darker than I am used to. I requested a more natural look for my wedding day and she absolutely nailed it. I brought her photos I found of the hair and makeup look I was going for, and she matched it perfectly. I have the most beautiful wedding photos thanks to her. My husband loved it, too! It is a bit expensive, but well worth it for your wedding day. The "airbrush" technique they use at Dina Alon is amazing. It covers every last flaw!

    Dina and her team did a fantastic job with hair and makeup for my wedding. Ashley and Tiffany did hair and makeup for both bridesmaids and two mothers. They listened to what each person wanted and executed it wonderfully; for those who did not know what they wanted they did a great job of finding the right look for them. They gave suggestions and were very helpful but never pushy, and no one looked overdone.
    They arrived promptly, helped set up the hotel room where we were getting ready in an efficient manner, and had everyone finished in time.
    Dina was a complete pleasure to have as my hair/makeup artist. Aside from being a generally outgoing, friendly, and funny person, she was completely competent and confident, taking away any wedding-day anxieties. The first hair look she did looked very nice, but I told her I wanted it "a little more fancy." She knew exactly what I meant and the second try was perfect! At my makeup trial I didn't even have to tell her the initial eye makeup she applied seemed too harsh for me - she immediately noticed I made a face and corrected it to something softer. My makeup looked perfect all day and night, and my hair stood up to humidity, the hora, and dancing.
    Overall, Dina and her team did an outstanding job. She charged slightly more than other salons in the area for her services, but I think it was well worth it!

    Carolyn at Dina Alon has been my stylist for years, and when I told her about my wedding, she agreed to travel to West Chester, PA to where I was getting married to do my hair and makeup. We had five ladies in all getting their hair and makeup done. Carolyn and her assistant Tiffany arrived on time at 8:30 AM to start. People told me to expect all hair stylists to be late in getting everyone ready but this was certainly not the case with Carolyn and Tiffany. Everyone's appointments were on time and everyone looked absolutely stunning. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you, Dina Alon Studio!

    Ashley and Tiffany from Dina Alon did hair and makeup for my entire bridal party, my mom, and my husband's mom on the wedding day. We got ready at my house because it was close to the venue. The ladies from Dina Alon arrived promptly, set up shop in my kitchen, and did an awesome job! I had done a bridal trial with Ashley previously (prior to the shower/bachelorette party day). I liked the look and my hair and makeup stayed put all day, but I wanted to make some adjustments for the wedding. Ashley took note of my requests, made some suggestions, and I wound up with hair and makeup that I loved. I would highly recommend the ladies from Dina Alon for any formal event.

    Dina and her staff were amazing!! Major highlight is they travel to you. Friendly, professional, prepared and got everyone ready ahead of schedule. One of the best and easiest choices we made for our wedding was using Dina Alon salon!
