    The most amazing wedding hair

    Alina sent hairstylist Svitlana to do my hair for the trial and wedding day - she was very professional and friendly. Totally unfazed when I showed her 5-6 different pictures of vaguely similar hairstyles and said that I wanted to look like a fairy queen. She helped me figure out exactly how and everyone was talking about how amazing my hair was - "the best wedding hair I've ever seen" one aunt said, and I agree - it was everything I had hoped for! She also applied false eyelashes for me which was super helpful, it would have taken me twice as long to do them myself and they wouldn't have looked as great!

    Makeup and Hair by Alina Karaman's reply:

    Vanessa, thank you for leaving this wonderful review, Svitlana is one of our best artists! Your hair idea was beautiful and very artistic, we love stepping out of the box!

    Svitlana was awesome! She took her time and made sure everything was done to the finest detail for my hair & make up. Made me feel sooooo pretty for my son's wedding. I would highly recommend her and would hire her again!
