Wedding Makeup done to perfection!

I had Christi and her team do my makeup and my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! I have moderate rosacea, and my makeup was FLAWLESS throughout the day/night. I may have felt my flares occurring, but it was never visible to the naked eye. She also helped me achieve the "berry lip look" I was dreaming of. Even though I wanted a more prominent glam look, many of my bridesmaids wanted to keep their makeup looks more minimal. Their makeup looked STUNNING, and they all were thrilled with their makeup. We've all been in lots of weddings in the past few years, and my wedding (with Christi) was the first where everyone loved their makeup (not just the bride). She convinced me to do a spray tan, and I did the lightest spray tan possible. It looked perfect, and I'm glad I listened to her advice. To wrap it all up, she was a very genuine, kind, and calming presence, and I couldn't have down my wedding day without Christi and her House of Koukla team!

Where Beauty Meets Brilliance

Christi and her team were AMAZING! They went above and beyond to make the day run smooth, fun, and beautiful. My bridal party and I felt incredible, and I received compliments all night long. I’m so BLESSED to have had these ladies as part of my wedding day. Do yourself a favor and book them NOW!

House of Koukla made me look like a movie star!! I wish we could do it all over again!

I got married in October 2024 and was recommended House of Koukla by SO MANY of our friends and family! Christi and her team are outstanding and made me look like a movie star on my wedding day. I loved the entire process from beginning to end and even booked multiple custom spray tans with HOK leading up to the wedding for various events. Christi is seriously so nice and answered so many questions I had leading up to the big day about anything from spray tans, to when should I get my eyebrows laminated, hair extensions, hair jewelry options, and makeup recommendations. Her team made me feel so secure and confident leading up to the big day and I couldn't have been happier with how my entire bridal party looked. Katie did my hair and gave me the most amazing Hollywood glam waves and I'm obsessed with how our pictures turned out. I wish we could do it all again! I will absolutely be coming back to HOK for any future events where I want full glam! Thank you HOK!!

10/10 amazing!

Christi and Monica were truly amazing to work with! From the trial to the wedding day, they made me look and feel so beautiful! Also highly recommend being spray tanned by Christi, it is by far the best tan I’ve ever received! I can’t say enough good things about House of Koukla, they truly were my favorite vendor to work with and I will never forget how amazing they made me look and feel for my wedding day!

STUNNING Hair and Makeup for all ages -- Looked like myself, but better

The service from House of Koukla was worth every penny and more. They listened so carefully, and totally carried out my vision. I looked like myself but just more beautiful; I think 80 separate people at my 100-person wedding commented on how stunning I looked. The makeup was also incredibly beautiful on all ages, including my mother and mother-in-law. I would book them one hundred times over.

Hair and Spray Tan

To say I love this team is a complete understatement. Christi did my spray tan for both my shower and wedding. Sam did my hair for both my shower and wedding. Christi specifically made me feel like we’d been friends for years! She was extremely flexible and accommodating, so much that she even did my bridal shower makeup with what felt like little notice. The amount of compliments I received on everything was unreal. They truly made me feel so beautiful and confident, and I can’t thank them enough!

Highly Recommend!

Could not recommend House of Koukla more for wedding makeup and hair! They were the very first vendor that I booked after finding a venue because I was so happy with how my hair/makeup turned out by them as a bridesmaid in another wedding a couple years ago. Christi is so organized and communicative throughout the whole process - from booking to trial to creating the schedule for the day. On the day of the wedding Christi and Katie were both so kind and brought great energy to the morning. They are so talented and I could not be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! They both really took their time on everyone with touch ups etc. all while staying on schedule with zero stress. Highly recommend!

We love house of koukla!

Booking House of Koukla was one of the best decisions I made throughout my entire wedding planning process! Right from the start, they were extremely kind, thorough, and easy to work with! They truly did whatever it took to make my bridesmaids, moms, grandmas, flower girl, and I feel as beautiful as possible! They even traveled all the way to Lake Geneva to make it happen! Book their team for your wedding - you will be so thankful!

Highly Recommend!

Christi and Katie did such an amazing job on our hair and makeup for my wedding on Saturday! Communication leading up to the wedding was excellent and I really appreciate that they took so much time even at the trial to make sure it was what I wanted! It was 94 degrees on Saturday and we had an outdoor first look and ceremony and I so appreciate that they spent time making me look and feel beautiful and also that my hair and makeup was still flawless after hours of being outside in the heat, sun, and wind!

They were both so fun to get ready with and also helped my wedding party stay on schedule! Everyone loved their hair and makeup! Thank you so much!!

Spray Tan Success!

I've had Christi at House of Koukla spray tan me and my husband for our wedding and events afterwards. Her spray tan studio is divine! She is so diligent in ensuring the whole process runs smoothly and that your spray tan lasts throughout the time of your event and even a little afterwards. She is so amazing and talented at all things beauty, I trust her with my body and my big events! I cannot recommend her and her studio enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
