Me and my mothers team looked gorgeous!
Elena is wonderfully attentive to detail and truly listens to your wishes. She knows how to highlight your natural beauty and makes the whole experience enjoyable - I loved chatting with her; it felt like spending time with a friend. I’ve used her services twice for two of the most important days of my life - my courthouse wedding and my reception (hair and makeup) - and I received so many compliments!

Elena is a magician!!
I cannot recommend Elena enough! From the trial to the big day, she was professional and kind, with a clear natural talent. She made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt in my life. She listened carefully to what I wanted and created a natural glam look that lasted flawlessly through happy tears and hours of celebrating in hot and humid weather!
Not only is she an amazing artist, but she also brought such a calming and positive energy to the getting-ready process. My bridal party and I all looked and felt our absolute best thanks to her. I am so grateful to have had her as part of my wedding day team...truly the best decision I could have made!
Thank you so very much for your big contribution on my wedding day!

Amazing experience
Elena and her team were absolutely incredible! I’ve never felt more beautiful and confident than I did after having my hair and makeup done by them. All of my bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done on the wedding day too and they just gushed all day saying they felt gorgeous. Elena was always super quick to respond for any questions or concerns and very flexible for scheduling a trial. All around, if given the chance to work with them again I would in a heartbeat!
