Great experience!

Alina and her team were wonderful to work with! The bridal trial run was a great experience, and Alina responded to requested adjustments from that session. The hair and makeup for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding was great - the team worked efficiently, were friendly, and everyone looked great.

Amazing Hair and Makeup

Alina and her team were amazing to work with! I absolutely loved what she did with my hair and makeup, and I got so many compliments! She and her team really know their stuff, are highly professional and prompt, and are so efficient (I really appreciated that I could get a little extra sleep the morning of the wedding!). Alina was also really easy to communicate with ahead of time and easy to work with - highly recommend!

Great makeup and hair!

Alina and her team were absolutely fantastic! She did my bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for four bridesmaids. I had a fantasy themed wedding and requested fairy makeup with face crystals, which is pretty different from traditional bridal makeup. Alina took the concept and created a final look that was even better than I could have imagined! She was on time, professional, has a fantastic sense of humor, and she's great at making you feel special on your big day.

Highly Recommend

Alina did my hair and makeup for my October wedding. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was fast, responsive, flexible and a great communicator. She listened to my preferences and delivered a look that I loved, and lasted the whole day. Would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding hair/makeup!

Everyone Looked Beautiful at My Wedding

Ilona and Antonina were our makeup artist and hair stylist. They arrived on time and moved very quickly. They were able to do the hair and makeup for 4 different people, including my bridal hair and makeup, in about 3.5 hours. Ilona chooses colors that specifically go with your dress and features to make the perfect look for you. Antonina was very attentive and practical when styling my hair, keeping my cathedral-length veil in mind. My mother and bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful and I am over the moon with how my hair and makeup turned out. I sincerely couldn’t recommend this company enough.

Wonderful Service


Alina and her team provided hair and makeup for my wedding on October 12, and they did a wonderful job! Alina was always organized and quick to respond to any questions I had, keeping the hair and makeup timeline on track throughout the whole process. Her team (Yvonne and Alina) were exceptional in their work for both me and my entire bridal party. A huge thank you to Alina and her team for making us all look and feel amazing for the wedding day!

Great hair and makeup

Had an excellent experience with hair and makeup for myself and five bridesmaids. They were very responsive to style input and were very flexible. They were also very affordable compared to some other groups. Would definitely recommend.
