Exceptional!

I had the joy of working with Carla who was amazing! She did mine and my 6 bridesmaids hair. She did such a great job, was easy to communicate with, showed up right on time and had a plan ready. We did a trial run and it was perfect, my hair stayed in the entire night even with all my crazy dancing! I would definitely recommend working with ales beauty it wasn’t stressful at all.

10/10 Recommend

Hiring Alea Beauty was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I felt so taken care of and didn't have to stress or worry about anything. They always reached out to check-in and keep me on track with planning.

On the wedding day 4 artists showed up to get us all ready, 10 women plus 2 men. They were kind and accommodating. Everyone looked flawless! They finished early and checked on everyone before they left for any final touch-ups. They even gave me the cutest touch-up bag, but I didn't even need it because the hair and makeup was perfect all night long even through my crazy dancing!

I wish I could give them more stars!!!

The Alea team was SO accommodating and helpful, especially on my wedding day!

I’m very glad I went with Alea Beauty! Carla was wonderful throughout the entire process and was able to answer many of my many questions super quickly. A few days before my wedding day, she called to let me know the H&M artist who had done my trial had unexpectedly left the team, but that she would step in and do my hair and had Sam do my makeup. Day of, the entire Alea team was there right on time and timed hair & makeup for me and my 10 bridesmaids perfectly. When I wasn’t 100% in love with the eye makeup for myself, Carla walked me back into the makeup chair to make sure she and Sam didn’t leave until I was 100% happy. I was so relieved she did that as I was super overwhelmed with it being my wedding day and all. Sam continued to work on my makeup until we got it right! And somehow she was able to make my eye makeup work despite me waking up with a flareup of an old eye injury! The pricing for Alea Beauty’s services reflects the quality and care they put into making you feel beautiful on your wedding day. After the wedding, it was so cool to see my wedding featured on their Instagram story and reels! Overall, the flexibility of the Alea team, responsiveness, adaptability, and kindness makes them the perfect choice!
