Loved my look!

Tanya did an amazing job with my wedding hair! She has a true gift for event styles. My curls were exactly what I wanted. My edges were laid and humidity-proof (summer wedding!). At the end of the night, my curls were still beautiful. Also, Tanya had the best personality to be the first person I interacted with on the morning of my wedding. She has a calming presence and is a true joy to be around. Her services are very professional and reliable.

Amazing experience!

I reached out to Tanya a little over a month before my wedding in September 2021 because my original hair/makeup vendor said that her hair assistant for my bridesmaids was no longer available. She and I were both scrambling to try to find someone that was still available on my wedding date.

Luckily I looked on WeddingWire and found Tanya! She has been so kind and courteous from my initial email all the way through after the wedding day! My girls' hair looked amazing and held up the entire day and night!

It was so nice getting a chance to know while we were all getting ready and she's super personable. I highly recommend her for your wedding and/or special events since she does both hair and makeup! Thank you again, Tanya!

She’s amazing!

Recently got married on October 10th! Tanya did my hair and makeup as well as my bridal party’s and she did such an amazing job! Everyone wanted a different style and had different hair textures and skin tone and she completely nailed it! Everyone looked so beautiful! I received so many compliments, and it still looked perfect by the end of the night! Not to mention she is just the sweetest; she really helped me stay calm during the day while getting ready. Plus her prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing

Tanya was so wonderful to work with and her work is absolutely flawless! She was super professional and such a pleasure to be around. I can say that I have never been able to have my hair hold a curl and she worked magic to make sure it not only held all day but also looked amazing. Also, I wanted my make up to look natural and she made sure that I looked like an elevated version of myself. Throughout the entire process, she made sure that I was satisfied with my look. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Wonderful experience

Tanya is really kind and did a fantastic job doing my make-up and hair (the bride) as well as my sister's and mother's. I was really looking for someone who would ensure I looked elevated and natural but not unlike myself on my wedding day. She was really wonderful to work with, flexible and we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
