The BEST!! Highly recommend!!

I can’t recommend House of Koukla enough! From the very beginning, Christi was so responsive, kind, and flexible. We had to make a couple of last-minute adjustments to the schedule, and she made the whole process stress-free and completely put me at ease. Christi also did my spray tan, and it turned out flawless and continued to look amazing even over a week later! Tara and Katie were so sweet and truly listened to what I wanted for my bridal hair and makeup. Everything turned out beautifully, and my hair and makeup lasted all night! I received so many compliments on my hair, makeup, and tan and felt so confident on my wedding day. I’m so grateful to Christi and her team for everything!

June Wedding

I can't recommend HOK enough! I first discovered them when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding, and after such a great experience, I knew I wanted to book them for my own wedding.

I used HOK for my spray tan, hair and makeup, and every experience—from my trial appointments to my wedding day—was wonderful. They listened to what I wanted, made me feel comfortable, and helped calm my nerves throughout the process. They also did an incredible job with my bridesmaids' hair and makeup as well as my mom's.

A special thank you to Christi, who was incredibly patient and accommodating when we had to adjust our timeline multiple times during the planning process. Every member of the team was so kind, professional, and talented. Thank you, Christi, Tara, Samantha, and Monica, for helping make our wedding day so special. I would recommend HOK to any bride looking for a talented team that truly cares about their clients!

Christi was AMAZING!!

From the beginning to the end of the makeup planning and application process for our wedding, Christi was absolutely amazing! We had a last minute wedding (30 days) and she was able to fit me and 3 others in for makeup applications. She showed up early, had everything set up and was able to follow her schedule to a tee. There was no stress and every woman LOVED their makeup. It was customized for each of us, whether we wanted heavy eye, light foundation or sweat protection. As the bride, my makeup turned out exactly how I wanted it, it lasted all day/night AND she provided a touch up lipstick that came in very handy after cocktails and eating. I would recommend Christi to everyone without hesitation, I could not be happier with her friendly attitude, professional application of makeup and finishing touches prior to leaving. Thank you so much 💓 💗

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!

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!
