Received Lots of Compliments on Hair and Makeup!

Thank you, Akiyo, for helping to make me feel incredibly beautiful on my wedding day!

Working with Akiyo was a pleasure! She's professional, responsive and masterful at her craft. I received tons of compliments on my hair and makeup! Someone thought I was wearing a wig since my hair was so well done, and my makeup enhanced my features while still looking so natural. I highly recommend working with Akiyo!

Amazing Makeup Services and Personality!

Guys, when I tell you Akiyo is talented, she's really talented. As an Asian woman it's very difficult to find someone who does makeup that works for my features. I met Akiyo when she did my engagement makeup, and she ended up doing my wedding makeup as well. She was so amazing the first time around I didn't even feel I needed a trial - in fact I didn't even have a hairstyle picked out until I was in the seat. Personality matches her skill level - 10/10. Her team did a fantastic job w my family members as well. Everyone was gushing about how glam
they looked! Loved working w her and looking forward to future reasons to see her!

Akiyo is a fantastic makeup artist and hairstylist.

I booked Akiyo to do my hair and makeup for a black-tie event and I am SO glad I did. I was a little nervous about the event itself and she made me feel calm and relaxed. Akiyo is very friendly and professional - a true artists with colors and blending. She gave me the perfect evening look that made me feel like a million dollars.
