Paolina is great!

I loved working with Paolina to put together my glamorous wedding look! We did a trial beforehand, where we talked through what I liked. Paolina took time to understand my preferences and offered input to help guide my decision making.
She is a very responsive to email and calls -- a huge help for a busy bride. I highly recommend working with her.

Most Incredible Vendor! Absolutely Love Her!

Paolina was truly such a blessing to work with! She stepped in last minute and made my wedding hair dreams come true after I had an absolute nightmare situation with another hair designer. It worked out perfectly though because she was absolutely incredible! My hair turned out better than I could have ever dreamed and I loved spending the morning of my wedding with her! Would hire OVER and OVER again! She's perfection

The only person I would ever have do my hair and makeup!

I contacted Paolina for a wedding trial and for the day of hair and makeup; I have never had a professional stylist for an event before and went by reviews and google searches. I was concerned by just never having had someone else do a look for me, and I wanted a very natural look. Paolina very much delivered --- she was so professional, on time, personable, and exactly what I wanted. Also a very good price and value. My look was perfect and I can truly say every single person at the wedding complimented me on my hair and makeup. If I have any kind of formal event to attend, I will always request Paolina! She also recommended some products to use for the wedding and chose a great lip color, way better than what I had envisioned. She's the best.
