Exceptional service for wedding on 10/13/19

Ms. Sonia Castleberry exemplifies professionalism. She planned a hair trial date months in advance. She asked meticulous questions about my ideas, hair products, and we brainstormed together in order to select the perfect look. On the day of my wedding, she arrived early and finished at record speed. Additionally, she collaborated with a phenomenal make up artist that made my day unforgettable for my mom, bridesmaids, and myself. We all looked flawless and the pictures speak for themselves. If you want to look fabulous on your special day, look no further than Sonia and Tatyanna.

Sonia and Astrid gave me my dream wedding look (so I could relax!)

Sonia and Astrid are the calm in the wedding storm! Weddings are wonderful yet stressful, and Sonia (hair) and her colleague Astrid (make up) did an amazing job. The trial was such a positive experience- they wanted me to look how I wanted to look (some artists can be pushy). The brushes and products were clean, they were super professional, and they were flexible with trying things out to get my look just right. They were on time, they gave goody bags to keep my bridal party and I looking fresh the whole wedding, and they were fast. They did a quick touch up after the ceremony so that I could be all set for the reception. They helped me figure out my hairpiece and it stayed in all night. I cannot recommend them highly enough- my hair and makeup was something I did not have to worry about at my wedding, which was so nice because everyone looked amazing. Thank you so much Sonia and Astrid!

Talented ladies, amazing experience!

Sonia and Astrid are the perfect team!I had an early ceremony and they were accommodating, professional and punctual. All of our hair and makeup came out beautiful and lasted throughout the entire day. I received so my compliments throughout the wedding and after. They were really lovely to work with and I would without a doubt hire them for any future occasion

Highly Recommend!

Sonia was excellent! She listened to all my feedback from the trial and incorporated everything into the final design. Sonia arrived on time and kept to the schedule so that everyone was ready on time. She was very professional and a calm and patient presence. My hair stayed secure and beautiful through an outdoor ceremony and hours of dancing. I highly recommend her for any hairstyling needs!

Personalized, caring, and attention to detail!

I felt so authentically ME. Sonia and her team took the time to make sure everything was exactly what I wanted. The result was that my bridal party and I were able to feel so beautiful and so ourselves. My makeup and hair stayed put all day and night (from a 10am appointment to a 12:30am end of reception), in 20 degree windy NYC weather. My skin looked moisturized and natural. Nothing looked overly "done up." These ladies know exactly what they are doing, and I would recommend them to everyone!

My Absolute Favorite

I hired Sonia & Astrid as my wedding day glam squad and boy did they deliver! I was blown away by how beautiful they made all of my bridesmaids and myself look. Everyone was flawless! Sonia was so attentive to my needs and made sure my look would withstand the hours that would pass between my first look photo session and my actual wedding ceremony. Astrid is a doll and I am convinced we have established a friendship based on her personality alone. She is a true artist when it comes to makeup and her aura is radiant. I truly couldn't have found a better team and I am so grateful to them for all of their hard work.

Amazing hair and makeup and a pleasure to work with!

I am so glad I hired Sonia for my bridal hair and makeup! I first contacted her in the fall to book a trial for my June 8th wedding and she was always responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. The trial went perfectly - she and her makeup artist Astrid were prompt, organized, and worked super well together. They listened to exactly what I wanted and even though I was a little indecisive at times they were always patient and accommodating. I was thrilled with the results and knew that I had made the right decision! On the day of the wedding, they were absolute super stars. They worked so meticulously, skillfully, and efficiently to make sure my mother (who never wears makeup) and two of my bridesmaids had exactly the looks they wanted while sticking to a tight timeline. Then they got started on my hair and makeup, making sure to take the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I had changed my mind on a couple of things since the trial but I showed them a few photos and they assured me they could bring my vision to life. They not only exceeded my expectations and made me look and feel absolutely amazing for my big day, they were also a joy to work with and an incredibly calming presence during an often hectic morning. Thank you Sonia and Astrid!!
