    The Best!!!

    Lena is truly the absolute best at what she does and I can't recommend her enough. Every one who got their hair done was so happy with it and it lasted all the way to the after party. She's also so funny and the most calming presence to have while you're getting ready. I can't recommend her enough!

    Incredible experience

    I could not recommend Lena enough! I loved my trial with her so was not worried - but I truly was blown away with my hair on my wedding day (and each of my bridesmaids). Lena is incredibly professional, genuine, easy to talk to, and amazing at what she does. I am so appreciative that she made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

    Lena is the best!!!

    Lena is so incredibly talented and wonderful to work with! My sister hired Lena for her wedding in June 2022 and we loved Lena so much! When I got engaged, Lena was one of the first vendors I reached out to! Lena is responsive and super easy to communicate with. Lena was so helpful during my trial discussing various options and which style would be a perfect fit for me. She helped me build a timeline for the day which was extremely helpful and led to an stress-free morning! She is so kind, professional and talented and everyone’s hair truly looked amazing on my wedding day I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Lena is the best!!!!

    Lena is amazing and I’m so happy we used her for our wedding in July! She is the perfect balance of telling you what looks good while also hearing what you want your hair to look like. Besides her professionalism and talent, she is above all else kind and was so understanding and caring during the anticipated wedding day meltdown! Couldn’t be happier with choosing her for our big day!

    Thank you Lena!!

    Lena was was such a pleasure to work with during the months leading up to my wedding, and an incredible advocate on the day of! When the wedding day weather reported gale force winds, she didn’t make me panic about my hair-down style ;) She did such an amazing job accommodating all of the different hair types and requested styles for my 10+ bridesmaids and attendants. We were a large group but she seamlessly kept us organized and on schedule. Lena is so talented and has a quick solve for everything! She made sure I was taken care of and made me feel so special all day long. Do not hesitate on booking Lena - you won’t regret it!

    Lena is amazing!

    Lena and her team did our hair for 13 women on our wedding day. Lena was quick to respond to all emails. When she realized we needed an extra stylist, she got on it immediately and hired one, which was such a stress relief for me! I also had several snafus related to COVID with my hair trial and she was flexible in changing dates and accomodating masking, etc. She also arranging the day-of hair schedule and made it so we didn't have to be there at 7 am despite the large volume. Not to mention: she is highly skilled and and my hair turned out perfect! All my bridesmaids loved their looks too. Simply, you can't go wrong hiring Lena.

    Hire Lena!

    Lena just did my wedding on May 8th in Boston and everyone in my wedding party loved her! She did a fantastic job. For my hair, I needed extensions because it's really fine/thin and doesn't hold a curl. Lena talked me through the whole process, and frankly, held my hand when I got super overwhelmed/nervous while getting ready, and made sure my hair was exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

    The Glam Goddess!

    We love Lena!!! We met when she did my sister’s wedding in August 2021, and she recently did my wedding on 2/5/22. Everyone’s hair looked spectacular and I couldn’t be more thrilled with what she did. I’m obsessed with my wedding look. She’s the best and you will have so much fun!

    Hair that Moves is AMAZING!

    Hair That Moves/Lena made me feel so at ease through the whole planning process/day of and was so down to earth, I just want to hang out with her all the time! She gave me recommendations for hair extensions when I wanted to add more volume, and the hair trial was so fun and easy. I showed Lena like 1-2 photos of what I wanted and she whipped up this gorgeous half up/half down style that was exactly what I wanted. On the day of, I changed up the hair accessories on her and gave her vague directions on placement and she again knocked it out of the park. I would recommend Lena/Hair That Moves for anyone looking for beautiful hair on their wedding day! Thank you, Lena!

    Lena Was Amazing!

    I highly recommend booking Lena for your big day! I am SO happy with the way my hair turned out and my bridesmaids loved her as well. Lena is so down to earth and accommodating (added my mother in law in last minute) and she was also so fun to be around! She was amazing and made me feel beautiful!

    Lena is the best!

    I hired Lena based on a recommendation from our photographer for bride and bridal party hair for my wedding in Harpswell, ME. Lena was absolutely amazing to work with - at my trial, she was honest and upfront about what we could do or should consider for my specific hair type and for our wedding day (early July). I was torn between wanting to wear my hair down vs. up and even though we settled on an updo at my trial, Lena stayed flexible and reassured me that we could wait and see until the wedding day and make a decision then. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Elsa showed up on our wedding day and so we made the decision that an updo was the best choice. Lena took her time, made sure that I loved it and struck the perfect balance between natural and loose without looking too messy. Even with torrential downpour and crazy wind, my hair stayed in place and looked great all night and am so glad in the end that I didn't wear it down. She also did hair for my mom, mother-in-law and two bridesmaids/sisters - all of whom absolutely loved their hair (and her in general). 10/10 would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    The Best Hair/Makeup Artist!

    I found Lena via instagram. I went for my first trial and let her know that i wanted a very natural hair/makeup look. I wanted to look like my "best self". When i saw Lena my hair was short. Fast forward to my wedding day my hair had grown an incredible amount. I showed Lena a few pictures and she went above and beyond. I have never felt better about myself. I got an incredible amount of compliments on both my makeup being the best they've ever seen at a wedding. In addition, all my friends who got their hair done commented on how easy and lovely she was to talk to through the process. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She honestly made the day that much more special.

    Amazing hair stylist!

    Lena was incredible to work with to come up with my dream wedding day hair style! She was receptive to feedback at my trial and absolutely nailed what I was looking for at the wedding on a day with 99% humidity. All of the ladies in my wedding party looked amazing and were able to have their own unique looks, and all of our styles actually stayed in place! Nothing was too fussy or overdone, Lena made all of us look effortlessly beautiful!

    So talented, so reliable!

    Lena is so amazing! She is so talented and professional. She was incredibly supportive in all aspects of wedding preparation and so helpful the entire day of my wedding with not just hair! Lena is so organized and punctual and that truly put me at ease. Lena kept me calm and talked me through some last minute dilemmas that occurred. Every person in my bridal party loved their hair and Lena was able to do exactly what the girls were envisioning. When I first met with Lena, I showed her a few photos of what I liked and said that I would love a combination of all the photos. My hair looked AMAZING! I couldn't believe she understood what I was looking for on the first try. You need to hire Lena for your wedding day!

    Amazing to Work With!

    Lena is amazing to work with! I used her for my wedding day hair stylist. She is kind, friendly and professional and easy to work with. I knew that I wanted an updo for my wedding hair style and during the hair trial we figured out what was going to look best. She made me feel beautiful and confident during the trial that I knew I would feel the same on the big day. On the wedding day Lena was a fun presence to have in the room while all of us girls were getting ready. All of my bridesmaids were even raving about how beautiful their hairstyles were!

    Lena is so talented at what she does! Her suggestions and expertise I believe is why my hair style looked so good on my wedding day. She did such a beautiful job! I can't recommend her enough!!

    Simply the BEST

    Lena is absolutely amazing. Not only is she highly skilled, professional and experienced but her overall demeanor is exactly what every bride (& bridal party) needs on “the big day.” Lena is such a kind and collected person, with an ability to keep everyone calm during the hours leading up to a wedding. I had NO idea what I wanted to do with my hair for my wedding and Lena was so helpful, every step of the way. She listened to my jumbled ideas and managed to use all of them to create SO many amazing options for me to choose from. I had a lot of bridesmaids, all with different hair types, and Lena went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt beautiful. It was the most amazing day and I cannot thank Lena and her team enough for making all of us look and feel so special. I would and continue to highly recommend Lena to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much, Lena!

    Thank you, Lena!

    Lena is the best. Hire her now!! I spent a lot of time researching different hair stylists in the lead-up to our wedding day, and I was thrilled to find Lena. It was important to me that whoever I went with 1) had experience working with women of color (not a given in New England) and 2) would think with me and my party members so that we all had looks we were excited about! Suffice to say, Lena was a dream.

    From the hair trial to the day of, working with her was such a pleasure. I wanted to do an up-do of some kind, but was growing my hair out and only had shoulder-length hair at the time of my trial. We figured out a style that hit all the notes I hoped for and worked for me. I felt gorgeous all night! Every member of my wedding party went with something a little different, as befits each person's style, and they were all so happy with what they ended up with. We couldn't stop oohing and aahing at each other.

    On the day-of, her calm, collected presence was such a gift. She and our makeup artist (plug for Joanne at Joya Beauty!) put together a schedule in consultation with our photographer so that everyone knew what the plan was. With that out of the way, it was so nice to be able to hang out in the morning and have a little bit of low-key normalcy in the midst of such a hectic, fun, emotional day. Looking back, I think the time spent getting ready was some of my favorite moments all day. Lena, thank you for being a part of it!

    The Absolute Best!

    Look no further for your wedding day hair stylist! Lena is the absolute BEST in the business. She's open to ideas, provides incredibly helpful counsel, communicates efficiently and effectively (I had a destination wedding!), and she's so fun to work with and have by your side on your wedding day. My trial was smooth and easy, leaving me feeling confident and excited about my hairstyle ahead of the big day. On my wedding day, my hair looked perfect from the moment Lena finished through the rest of the evening - what more could you ask for!? Not only this, but my mom and my bridesmaids loved Lena as well; they were all thrilled with their styles and felt that they lasted throughout the entire night. We truly can't thank her enough for the amazing job she did and the fun, positive energy she brought to our ready room!

    Book Hair that Moves!

    Lena is absolutely fantastic. We got married in the midst of major July humidity in NH, and she could not have been more prepared! She took great care to make sure everyone looked and felt beautiful -- I could not have been happier with her. She's also such a fun person and adds to the overall positive vibe of getting ready. I love Lena and highly recommend her!!!

    Superb hair & MU

    Lena was great to work with. She is super friendly and easy going, and perfectly executed the makeup and hair style I was going for. I went up for a trial, and she allowed me to try both an updo and down-do as I wasn’t sure of style at that time. In the end, I choose a down do but had a few edits - she was so accommodating to the edits and the end product was exactly what I envisioned. I felt beautiful all day long and can’t thank her enough - highly recommend Lena and Hair that Moves!!

    True artist and professional!

    Lena is a true artist and designer! Lena was so accommodating, making time on a Saturday for my hair trial and making tweaks from my initial design appointment to ensure I was happy on the day of the wedding. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair turned out. Not only did she make me feel beautiful but she made the entire wedding party feel the same way. Even more, Lena was overcoming an injury the day of my wedding and I would never have known - she was a true professional!! You will be in fantastic hands - hire her!

    Amazing hair!

    I actually can't say enough good things about Lena. My hair is and always has been one of my favorite features about myself so when it came to choosing a hair stylist for my wedding I was very choosey! When I found our Lena was not yet booked for my wedding date I knew I had to book her .. and fast!! She is fantastic. I did a trial with her about 2 months before my wedding day and then the week of my wedding I tweaked the style a bit, but she did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and calm and knowing I am in good hands. On the day of, I absolutely loved my hair and was so so happy to see it all come together. Lena really is the person you want with you on your special day!! She reminded me many times that it was a day about myself and my *now* husband and no one else! We are so grateful for that advice as it helped us make some last minute decisions :)

    We recently celebrated my son's wedding in Maine. I was told that if Lena of "Hair That Moves" is available, to book her because she is the best. She did not disappoint. This was a destination wedding and getting together was a bit of a challenge. Lena accomodated the bride's schedule over the summer for the trial hair and make up appointment. She also arranged for Christine to come and do make up applications for all of us. Weddings can be very stressful. Lena and Christine were very calm and had a way of blending in. The day was not about them, but about making sure that each woman was feeling great and happy with her look as she headed off to the wedding. We all looked great and felt that we made two new friends that day. I will pass on the same advice....if Lena is available, book her and figure out the details later! Diane M.

    What can I say other than Lena was fantastic! I was unsure about how I wanted my hair done and was worried I wouldn't like anything. At my trial Lena had me explain what I was hoping for (which was a jumble of thoughts!) and then on the first try created the perfect look! On the day of the wedding she was fantastic to have around. She did all my bridesmaids, my Mom's, and my hair with time to spare. My hair looked amazing and she really spent the time to make sure it was EXACTLY what I wanted. It held up great all day as well!! Additionally, she was very calming, helpful, and fun to have around that morning. I can't recommend Lena enough!!
