I used Alina for my hair and makeup for both my engagement photo shoot and my wedding day. My hair and makeup looked AMAZING!!!
Alina was great to work with - she was always on time and worked very quickly. We did a trial run before the big day, which helped ease my nerves. She took lots of pics so we would know exactly what we liked.
She and her team also did the makeup and hair for my mom, cousin, and bridal party. And they came to us! It helped so much to not have to worry about going somewhere else before the wedding. They made up a schedule and stuck to it. We didn't need to worry about making it to the venue on time. They made sure we all got done when we were supposed to, cleaned up, and had us out the door. They were very professional and got the job done.
Our wedding day was in July and it was HOT! However, my hair and makeup never showed it. My makeup remained flawless all night long! My hair never moved. I was beyond pleased! There are so many things you are worrying about on your wedding day - it was great that I didn't have to worry about my hair and makeup!

Couldn't have been happier!!
I hired Alina and her makeup team to do hair and makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother in law. She was incredibly easy to work with from the very beginning. She was so flexible/helpful every time I made little changes or had questions. From my trial all the way until the end of my wedding night, there was not one single thing I did not absolutely love about her work. She is smart, kind, and she KNOWS what she is doing. I completely trusted her! My updo was exactly what I wanted. She easily incorporated my hair clip, “something borrowed” pins, and showed my mom how to put in and take out my long veil. My hair is usually super frizzy, but there was not a single strand out of place all day! I also LOVE the makeup she used and ended up buying a lot of it for myself. It’s all really great quality and she matches the colors perfectly. I had never worn fake lashes before, and she put them on so easily and they stayed perfectly all day. She made me feel so comfortable, beautiful and confident! Alina and her team worked really well with my bridesmaids, and stayed exactly on schedule. They dealt with personal concerns, issues, or requests from the girls the day of without a flinch. They were all incredibly professional. I would recommend her to anyone!

Covid wedding
Alina did a beautiful job! She is very talented and easy to work with. We had a small wedding due to COVID, but she was willing to come to do just bridal hair and makeup. She was kind enough to style my mom's hair at the last minute as well. 100% recommend her!
