Nadia exceeded every expectation!

I’m a wedding photographer in California who got married in Costa Rica. Our schedule did not allow time for a trial which I’ll be honest, made me a little nervous. But from the second Nadia and her team arrived I felt at immediate ease. First, I love that Nadia brought a team. There is nothing worse than making your friends wake up at the crack of dawn to start makeup. Nadia and her team were super fast and efficient.

What I really want to talk about is Nadia’s talent. I cried when she showed me what I looked like. Actually cried!! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. I have had my hair and makeup done countless times, even by elite artists in LA, but I’ve never looked better than when I was with Nadia. My skin was glowing, eyes bright, eyebrows were perfect, and she even styled my way too heavy extensions into a perfect messy pony that looked both effortless and elegant.

On a personal level, I simply love Nadia. Her energy is so wonderful and I want to make her my friend, haha. Next time I come back to Costa Rica I will find a reason to get dressed up simply so I can hire Nadia again and feel as beautiful as she made me feel on my wedding day.

Perfection !

I do not wear makeup. I don’t like looking like I have ALOT of makeup on. Everyone said it’s your wedding day, u need lashes, you need to let you makeup artist “do u up” for the pics.
BUT , at the trial Nadia talked and listened to me. I never felt so beautiful AND like myself. She said no lashes bc that’s not you. She suggested airbrush so I wouldn’t feel the heaviness of the makeup all day. Every suggestion she made was exactly what I wanted; and I didn’t even know it. I looked and felt like myself but also never looked or felt so amazing and I have to give that credit to her. Her team was also professional and worked in a timely fashion I had 9 girls that needed to be done and we were done early which made my day go so smoothly. Having a stress free morning and time for a mimosa with my girls was perfect 😍

BEST HAMU in Costa Rica - made me feel like a princess

Nadia was a stellar addition to the vendor team for our wedding. Without a trial she absolutely knocked it out of the park. The number of compliments I received on both hair and makeup were too many to count.

I have mid length very fine hair and did not leverage extensions. By working her magic Nadia created a stunning take on a French twist that lasted the whole night - from the ceremony and pictures on the beach through a night filled with dancing.

I tend to not wear much make up and wanted a more natural look for my eyes. She captured exactly what I wanted and I was thrilled with the results. The make up lasted all day and night and still looked perfect as I went to wash it off before bed.

She also did a fantastic job on my mom’s hair and make up. My mom looked glamorous and felt fantastic. Her hair and make up lasted all night. Nadia was very accommodating and made some last minute changes when my mom wanted to adjust the style.

I highly recommend using Nadia for any of your events or wedding needs. Her work is incredible and she was very professional. I loved spending the day with her and truly felt like a princess. Do not wait or hesitate get on her books!

Nadia is professional, detail-oriented, and amazing!

My husband and I eloped in Costa Rica in November 2023 - hiring Nadia was one of the best decisions I made during our planning. She is wonderful. She is professional, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Honestly, just her calming presence during the chaos of getting ready was so meaningful. I looked and felt fabulous thanks to Nadia. I also appreciated that she gave her honest opinion/advice about what to do with my hair based on its texture and the weather that day. Due to us eloping, I did not have a trial, which made me a little nervous, but after meeting Nadia that morning I was not nervous at all - I knew that she would help me look and feel my best. You will not regret hiring Nadia for hair/makeup, I promise.

The absolute best hair and makeup artist EVER!!!

If you are having any trouble deciding who to choose for hair and makeup for your wedding day, stop right here. Nadia was MORE than I could ever imagine. She could tell right off the bat that I was nervous and did everything she did to calm my nerves. She made all the bridesmaids feel more beautiful than they could ever imagine and not one person was disappointed with how they looked (which was amazing). The pictures speak for themselves. My makeup and hair stayed in all night long - I danced pretty hard too.

Nadia made me feel more like a bride than I did throughout the whole engagement. She is so fun and makes the day so so much better! Thank you so so much Nadia!!!!

Amazing MUA and friend!

I had no idea who to hire in Guanacaste as a MUA, I needed first only the engagement session make up but shortly and due to some travel plans- we had to get married assap. I inmediately thought about Nadia. The engagement pictures turned out beautiful and I wanted the wedding ones just as perfect. Nadia is amazing, she is humble, she listens to what you really want and doesnt impose at all, she recommends with care and one thing that for me was important - the high Quality of make up she uses. Days after, your Skin looks smooth and the make up lasts 24 hours without issues. 100% would recommend, also it was during COVID and she took all of the measures, super clean and organized.

The best ever

Nadia & her team were amazing!
I recently got married at Dreams Las Mareas on April 28th, 2023. Nadia made me truly feel dreamy— I have never felt so beautiful, confident, and amazing in my life. She nailed my makeup inspo and blew my hair inspiration out of the water. I have never received so many compliments or been told how stunning I looked!
I mentioned to Nadia that I was nervous about darkening my eyebrows, she had me hold a mirror up and had me watch as she filled them in to ensure it wasn’t too much 🤣. I was sweating bullets ALL afternoon and night in the hot April heat and you could not see any oil or sweat on my face, it looked flawless—- I couldn’t believe it!

Can’t recommend Nadia & her team enough!
I am SO happy I booked with her!
