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!

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

I Have Never Felt More Beautiful!

I cannot recommend Irina high enough! From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream! She is beyond talented with both hair and makeup! She is professional, flexible, and so easy to work with! I wear the most minimal makeup and rarely style my hair in my normal life. Irina made what can be an overwhelming process so easy! She is kind and patient, never once making me feel silly for not knowing the basics of hair and makeup.
The trial before my wedding was hands down my favorite part of the whole wedding planning process! She immediately put me at ease. She took her time and created the most incredible look! She asked for my feedback throughout the whole process, and took detailed notes and photos so that the look could be recreated for my big day. She also had the best playlist on in the background!
Irina and Angie were incredible to work with on the day of my wedding! Irina had already created a schedule for myself and my bridal party and everything was right on time. Irina flawlessly recreated the look from my trial. She reminded me that hair and makeup are fun! Most importantly, she made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my entire life! I did not worry about my hair or makeup for the entire day. It allowed me to be present and fully enjoy my wedding! And the look held up for the entirety of the day! I looked just as good 15 hours later!
My favorite part? My now husband cried when he saw me at our First Look and told me I was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen!

Amazing hairstylist for wedding

Irina was amazing! She did wedding hair for my daughters who were junior bridesmaids and a flower girl. She was, organized, professional, and made the whole morning stress free! She provided a schedule of when she would start and finish and she was flexible with the different hairstyles my girls wanted. My girls loved their hair-dos and got a lot of compliments! I highly recommend Irina to any bride or bridal party looking for a talented and reliable hairstylist.

Bridal Hair & Makeup Perfection!

From the moment I booked my bridal hair and makeup appointment, I knew I was in good hands—but the results went far beyond my expectations. Irina is not just a makeup artist and hairstylist; she is a true artist with a gift for making brides feel confident, radiant, and utterly beautiful.

On my wedding day, she arrived early, brought a calm and positive energy, and immediately set the tone for a stress-free, magical morning. She took the time to truly understand my vision and offered expert suggestions that complemented my dress, theme, and features perfectly. The end result? Absolutely stunning.

My makeup was flawless—glowing and long-lasting. My hair held beautifully and looked exactly how I imagined: elegant, timeless, and perfectly styled down to the last strand. I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life, and I owe so much of that to Irina.
If you're looking for a bridal hair and makeup artist who listens, delivers, and goes above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable—look no further. I truly cannot recommend Irina highly enough. Thank you for making my day absolutely perfect!

A beautiful day with "Beautiful Beginnings"!

Irina was extremely professional. She was so flexible and adaptable! I did a makeup trial with her and she worked extremely hard to give me a look that I wanted to achieve for my wedding day. She was so willing to work with me even after I wanted a few changes after the trial. She took notes and made the exact changes I asked for on the big day leaving me stress free! She even so generously gave me a few travel makeup touch-up items for me to hold onto to touch up throughout my night. I was extremely impressed by her work and her ability to make me feel so confident and beautiful on a day that was so special to me. Irina is professional, humble, timely, and adaptable. She is super personable and trustworthy! She is a master at the art of doing makeup, and I would 100% hire her again!
