Akiyo and her team were absolutely amazing! I was so happy with the way everything turned out. She is very professional. Everything went super smooth and stayed on time. My make up and hair lasted the entire night! Only have good things to say!

Agins Ha wedding

Book Akiyo!! She is amazing to work with from the quality of her hair and makeup to just being a very kind and approachable person. I loved having her be part of our wedding day as she brought such a knowledgable calm to the getting ready process. My hair and makeup stayed the entire day despite it being a sunny July day and really dancing the night away. If ever I need hair and makeup done again I certainly will go to Akiyo :)

Detailed and Communicative Artist

I unfortunately did not move forward with Akiyo for logistic reasons on my end; otherwise I would have. She was my first choice. She was responsive, very detailed in communication and technique, very patient, polite, and has a great portfolio for both hair and make-up (just look at her instagram).I would highly recommend Akiyo for any bride. Hopefully I will be able to work with her on a different occasion.
