Irina is a true god send!!

Irina was absolutely amazing from the first moment I met her, when she greeted me outside of her house until the last hug we shared at my wedding!! I cannot put into words what this woman meant to me on my wedding day!!! 💕🙏🏼💕 She did amazing at the trial! She took her time and was very thorough! I really didn’t know what I wanted at that time and she made me feel much less crazy than I had. I was so happy we did that because it gave me an idea of exactly what I envisioned for the big day! Fast forward to wedding day. She showed up at my house, ready to go, was bombarded with different family members walking through the house, me having to kiss my fiance every half hour and transferring my vows into my book while she was patiently trying to do my hair! She made my mom who has had a lot of hair loss and felt so self conscious, look absolutely amazing and gave her the hairdo of her life!! The smile on my mom’s face meant the world to me! She was finally happy looking in the mirror again! She had SO many compliments! Even from my stepmom! That means she was smoking!! 🔥 Irina made me feel so comfortable with her beginning to end! She made last minute changes that I asked for and also followed me to the venue for touch ups which was a very late request. We got to the venue, she had to schlep her setup on rocky parking, through a crowd in the drizzle, set up, and got me perfectly situated in my dress. She then fixed my mom’s front swoops of her hair that got flat while walking her dog. She didn’t stop there! It was raining, we had a very small wedding party and I didn’t have anyone to hold my dress. She took photos of me and my dad while we were hanging tight for them to tell us to go out, which I am forever grateful for! Those are precious moments that would not have been captured otherwise, if it wasn’t for Irina! She photographed me in the mirror getting ready. She held my dress to the entrance and even fluffed it for me before I walked down the aisle! Amazing? Yes ma’am! Oh, I’m not done! Now comes the bad ass queen Irina!  The photographer wanted us to walk the property for photos, wet, muddy, not what she planned for I’m sure! Irina followed us for an hour like that, each time carrying my heavy, wet, dirty dress and taking my glasses, giving them back, setting the dress perfectly again each time which was no easy feat! She even spoke up for me when she just knew I wanted something slightly different. She was my fairy god sister!! We went back into the brides suite, she touched up even more, made my curls perfect that were a bit flattened by the rain, took more photos, and helped me figure out body tape, which is never used in my life so I could dance the night away! If I did one thing right with the planning of our wedding, it was 100% reaching out to Irina asking her to do my hair and makeup! She did so much more than that! She is an absolutely stunning beauty, and not just on the outside by any means! Irina is a beautiful soul! Her Facebook posts led me to her and I could not have had such an amazing time without her! Irina, you truly deserve the world! If anyone is looking for someone to make you feel your best, do NOT leave this page without booking!! She is amazing!! I am forever in your debt!! Thank you queen, from the bottom of my heart!! 👸 💕🙏🏼🙌🏼🥹

Irina is the BEST!

Irina arrived on time to do my daughter's hair and makeup, along with doing my hair. She was very professional, personable and exact in her work. Everything was absolutely flawless!!

Her communication was excellent. My daughter couldn't wear the eyelashes that were picked out due to eye issues. Not a problem...Irina pulled out different ones that were much more comfortable for my daughter. Daughter also had some sun spots she wanted covered and Irina mixed different color cover up for her. Irina was as much a perfectionist with her hair as her makeup. I'll be biased and day my daughter is already beautiful but, Irina magnified it even more!
As the wedding began and progressed, I saw that Irinas "touch up" service included assisting my daughter with her dress!! Getting it bustled, arranging the train when needed, etc.
As for my hair (I didn't want makeup), Irina just KNEW what to do even though I wasn't much help. I'm not a "hairdo" person but, man, did she knock it outta the park!!! I loved what she did so much 🥰
You won't regret having Irina with you on your special day!!

Irina is amazing!

Irina did an incredible job with both my wedding hair and makeup, I can’t recommend her enough! She is extremely talented, and did a great job creating the wedding look I had pictured. She is clearly very organized, and was able to finish slightly ahead of schedule on the day of – and was even nice enough to let us add on another hair and makeup last second since we were running on time. Given the size of the group, she brought Galina to help with hair and makeup, who did an amazing job as well! Once hair and makeup was done, she gave a small bag of touch up items to use throughout the rest of the day, which was greatly appreciated!

Absolutely wonderful service!

The service was absolutely amazing! Working Irina was extremely easy and booking with her was a very streamlined process. I got my eyebrows, lashes, and makeup done by Irina, and you can absolutely see the quality of the products she uses and the quality of her work! If you're thinking about booking with her please do, you will not regret it! I will absolutely be back with her soon! Thank you so much!

A blessing from God.

Irena was increadably professional and so sweet! I wasn't a bride but a bridesmaid and my hair had a malfunction and she completely saved the day. I did not expect any help seeing as I wasn't who was receiving the service she was hired for. But her kindness to step in and help another woman in need was such a beautiful moment and touched my soul. I will be booking for my wedding next year and I HIGHLY reccomend you book with her as well, she is a true shining light and so talented! I felt so beautiful and the hair really was a show piece! Her makeup on the bride was incredible and all around this was such a blessing.

Amazing stylist in NY!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Irina, my hair stylist for the wedding. From the moment we met, Irina was warm, professional, and truly invested in making sure my vision came to life. She created absolutely stunning hairstyles that exceeded my expectations and made me feel so special on my big day.

Irina brought along an amazing assistant, and together they worked efficiently and seamlessly. It was such a pleasant surprise to learn that she and my makeup artist are related—they made a fantastic team and worked so well together, ensuring the morning went smoothly and stress-free.

What stood out most was how Irina listened carefully to the changes I requested and executed them perfectly. She was attentive to every detail and never hesitated to make adjustments until I was completely happy. My hair lasted all day and looked incredible in all the photos.

I highly recommend Irina to anyone seeking a talented and caring hair stylist who will make you feel confident and beautiful!

Wedding Makeup Review

Irena was absolutely amazing. My wedding makeup was perfect as was my bridesmaids. From the day I booked her services up till the wedding went very smoothly. She answered any and all questions I had in a very timely manner. I was blown away with how natural my makeup looked, as well as my bridesmaids. I 100% recommend Beautiful Beginings for any wedding or special occasion!

Amazing for particular and indecisive brides

Irina was wonderful, she worked with us through the entire process. She was extremely patient and helped a very particular and indecisive bride figure out her perfect look that was significantly better than the bride ever imagined. She was able to create a dream into reality. Thank you Irina you are amazing!

10/10 stars

Irina is so talented & professional! She's amazing to work with, she made my hair look absolutely stunning on my wedding. She also made my mom / mother in law / sister in law all feel so confident too. I have really thin hair, and Irina made it look so full & healthy. She also helped me tie up my wedding dress when my mom couldn't! She's truly a gem. 10/10 stars
