Lena was definitely the best choice I could’ve made for my wedding. She did my moms hair, my daughters hair, and my hair and makeup for my big day. She was so patient with the 3 children running around the room for hours, and very experienced. She got the exact look I wanted, very natural with a little pop to the eyes. She is very gentle and doesn’t tug on hair, but makes sure it is secure for the whole night.
Lena is so talented and exceeded my expectations; I’ve never had my hair or makeup professionally styled before and she killed it!! She even gave me false lashes, and a touch up kit which included blush, Too Faced mascara, lipstick, blotting papers, and more. Lena, thank you so much!

Lena was such a joy to work with! After attempting to do my own hair for the engagement session, I quickly realized I needed a professional to do my hair on the wedding day for me to have a calm start to the day. I met with Lena for the hair trial, and she did a beautiful job and my hair stayed the whole day while I ran around DC in the summer heat. Lena is very responsive and was flexible with the package when one of my bridesmaids could not make the wedding and we subbed in a hair for the flower girl.

Lena arrived promptly on the day of the wedding, and she worked so efficiently throughout the morning to get 4 bridesmaids, 1 bridal, and 1 flower girl hair styles done. We all looked so nice with the various hairstyles that we each requested.

I am sad that Lena will be leaving the DMV area to relocate to Florida next year, but wish her the best, and Florida brides, I strongly recommend Lena!

Lena was an absolute angel! It took me forever to settle on a style via Pinterest. I basically showed her three different pictures, and she pieced them together at the trial perfectly. It was important for me to have a flower crown and a braid in my hair because it's an Irish tradition. She kept asking if everything was okay. She was very accommodating and gentle. I'm not really a talkative person as I have anxiety issues, and she seemed okay with it. She gave me a lot of advice on what to do with my hair so that it stayed in place. I also have a terrible tendency to pick my lips, so they are pretty much always chapped. She didn't make me feel judged in any way because of it. Granted, I wasn't doing anything but driving or sitting the rest of the day but my hair and make up stayed perfectly. I definitely felt like a princess. Originally I only had a flower girl and one bridesmaid. Then I added another bridesmaid, and then two more. The line up and amount of services kept changing I probably gave her whiplash! Lena handled all the changes with such grace and professionalism. It was truly appreciated. There was a small moment of panic on the day of, when I forgot I gave my headpiece to my photographer. Lena helped calm me down and was incredibly patient with me. She was even willing to attempt to give my flower girl a little make up so she didn't feel left out. In the end everyone looked gorgeous. My flower girl looked like an angel. My hair piece was a little tricky because all the flowers were all one piece and they were asymmetrical on the headband instead of in the center. It was definitely flying all over the place when we started dancing, but it didn't fall out which is the main thing! I was given a touch up kit, which I didn't actually get to use because I kept getting distracted. I did get to use some of the touch up make up on my honeymoon, which was very special to me. I am over the moon happy with Lena and her assistant Veronika!
