    Professional at its best! Elena did exactly what everyone asked for and more.

    When I knew my daughter had her wedding date we booked her immediately. She is the best around in everything she does along with her stylists! She goes above and beyond your expectations. The day went so smoothly.

    Nothing but the best on my biggest day of my life

    As someone who has been coming to you for years as my hair stylist, I knew I was in excellent hands, but you and your team truly went above and beyond to make me feel like the most beautiful bride.

    From the moment I walked into my get ready room that morning, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and excitement. Your team's genuine knowledge and expertise in hairstyling were evident as they flawlessly brought my dream wedding hairstyle to life. As well as my bridesmaids and mother’s hair styles. Their suggestions were invaluable, and their attention to detail was truly remarkable.

    Not only were you all incredibly talented, but you were also so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. Despite the pre-wedding jitters, I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable and fun morning spent with you and your team. Your calm and welcoming demeanor created a relaxing environment, allowing me to fully enjoy the moment and cherish the memories.

    I am endlessly grateful for the time, effort, and passion you all put into making my wedding day extra special. Thanks to your magical touch, I felt like an absolute princess as I walked down the aisle, and the compliments kept pouring in throughout the entire day.

    Elena, thank you for being my go-to hair stylist for all these years. You continuously exceed my expectations, and this experience was no exception. To your entire team, thank you for being rockstars and for making me feel supported and beautiful on such a momentous day.

    Mother of the bride

    I've had my hair done several times for events and Elena was by far the best!
    She was amazing at styling everyone's individual hair for my daughter's wedding.
    None of us looked the same which sometimes happens, and all our hair all stayed in and looked great all day and night! She made the morning run very smooth with her efficiency in her timing and no one felt rushed!
    I would highly recommend her!

    Last minute excellence

    Let me tell you how amazing Elena and her husband are. We booked them last minute, I mean THE DAY before our wedding last minute! They showed up promptly, helped with picking the hair styles for everyone, and made the whole process stress free. We all looked glamorous!!! With everything that was going on, they made this one step easy and worry free. I highly recommend this team if you are searching for beauty services.

    Thank you so much! You truly helped me look as magical as my big day!

    The best bridal hair team!

    I’m so happy I chose Elena Costa Salon for my wedding day! Elena and her team of stylists are so talented and professional. I did a few hair trials before my wedding and I’m so happy I found Elena. She made all my hair dreams come true and I looked stunning on my wedding day. I booked Elena for my hair and my bridal party hair. We ended up doing something completely different than what I chose for my hair trial and I had complete trust in Elena to make my vision come to life. Thank you so much! I will recommend this salon to anyone looking for a glam team for wedding day.

    Brought my vision to life

    Elena was amazing! She definitely has an art to what she does. I was in love with my hair and received so many compliments! I have even referred her already. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

    Absolute Perfection!!!

    From the trial to the big day Elena went over and beyond to make my wedding hair dreams a reality! Her creative styles were the inspiration for my bridal and bridesmaids’ hair and I was so pleasantly surprised with the outcome! She is so amazingly talented I recommend her to ANY bride who wants the perfect hair and the perfect stylist to handle their big day!

    The dream team!

    I just can’t recommend Elena and her team enough!! From our day one consult six months before my wedding to the day of, they were amazing! I had been in a few weddings before my own that Elena had done the hair for and I knew from the very first time I met her, when my big day came, she would be the one to do my hair. I actually didn’t secure my wedding date with the venue until I was sure she was available on that day (that’s just how amazing her and her team are).

    & of course on my wedding day, Elena made all my hair dreams come true (and my girls too). Elena and her talent is just unmatched and I am forever grateful.

    The absolute best in the business!

    I’ve had the pleasure of getting all of my hair services done by Elena for over 22 years. Elena has done my hair for all of my special events throughout my life from when I was 14 years old going to Homecoming for the first time, to all of my proms, as well as my Quinceañera . I have always highly recommended her to all of my friends when they have gotten married. She has done over 7 of my friend’s wedding hair because of how incredibly talented she is. So it was a no brainer when I got engaged that I wanted Elena and her team to be apart of my special day. We had several dates picked out and I made sure to call Elena’s salon to see what days she had opened a year a half before. Because she is the best in the business she gets booked up to 2 years in advance. I did not want to risk her not being available for my wedding day. Thankfully the booking process was so seamless. Elena and her team are extremely organized and professional. They sent me all of the information to fill out quickly and a deposit was paid to save the date. She created a perfect timeline and stayed on schedule on the big day which was super important to me especially since we had a total of 9 people including myself getting their hair done. I love Elena’s work so much that I even wanted her to do my hair for my rehearsal dinner. I have never had so many people compliment my hair on both my rehearsal dinner as well as my wedding day. Once I booked her and her team, it was one less thing that I did not have to stress about. Elena and her team are absolutely exceptional and I highly recommend them!

    Can’t recommend enough!

    Elena was absolutely incredible. My hair was better than I had ever imagined. Not a single strand was out of place at a windy outdoor ceremony, and it still looked amazing at the end of the day. My whole bridal party were so happy with their hair, they all looked stunning. We got so many compliments. Can’t recommend her enough!

    15/10 Absolute Perfection

    My hair was actual perfection on my wedding day. I cannot stress how important a hair trial is! Elena has the perfect set up for communication. We had a shared notes document where I could upload photos of inspiration for each bridesmaid. She even helped me with the day of schedule. I wanted a boho inspired look and she nailed it!

    I last minute had two flowers girls get their hair done as well and she was more than accommodating. I’m still thanking Elena a month after the wedding and probably will continue to do so forever.

    The Best!!

    I booked my out of state wedding hair and makeup with Elena and her team and was blown away! I was nervous to book my wedding hair and makeup without a trial due to living out of state and I lucked out!! Elena is beyond talented and every single one of my bridesmaids and mothers loved their hair! My makeup artist did exactly what I asked and made all my wedding visions come true. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Elena and her team!

    Talented and calming

    Elena was simply amazing on my wedding day. Her presence is calming to a bride on her big day. Not only is she timely, professional and kind but she is also immensely talented. I came in for a trial and she nailed my hair on the first try after listening to my vision for my day. You will not regret your decision to hire Elena Costa. She is amazing addition to your wedding day.

    The best of the best!

    Elena and her team are truly the best in the business. They are professional, responsive, and incredibly creative and effective. They were able to do 10+ girls hair in just a few hours on our wedding day. Their process of how they get the job done is truly remarkable (and very impressive). I have since referred Elena and team to 5 other friends who have all used them for their wedding and they all share the same very pleased sentiment. Look no further and book Elena - she really is the best!

    Amazing beyond words!

    Elena is amazing at what she does, she normally takes care of my hair needs, as well as my family and friends, so when thinking of who would do my hair on this most special and important day, no questions asked, I already knew, Elena was it! She listens to what you want and her execution is spot on. Her and her team made my bridesmaids and myself feel beautiful. If you’re searching for someone on your wedding day, please look no further and book with Elena!

    Absolutely loved my experience with Lovely Do's! Elena was amazing to work with - she was flexible, professional, and made the experience so easy! My wedding plans were forced to change with covid and she was very understanding and quick to adapt to my changes. I loved getting to do my hair trial with her and really felt like she took the time to make sure i was truly happy. Elena is such a joy to be around and made me feel so special on my wedding day with my dream bridal hair!

    The key to staying relaxed on my big day!

    Elena is incredible! I planned my wedding in three short months and I was very fortunate that the stars aligned and she was available. She worked with me to get my hair trial in and to make sure my appointments leading up were set (she’s my regular AMAZING hairdresser, too). She made sure I had clear instructions for the day before and that I knew exactly what I was doing.

    The day of, she was on time at the venue, set up, and ready to go on schedule. She did my hair and four bridesmaids, as well as my mom, mother-in-law, and grandmother (who she had to be very gentle with) and EVERYONE was happy!

    A couple of events happened prior to me getting my hair done and right when she started my hair. Elena noticed and took action to make sure I was as relaxed as possible. Her positive attitude and sense of humor kept us all going! She was a real key to that day making sure I was happy and everyone had what they needed. At the end of the night my hair looked wild because of all the dancing and small amount of rain, but it held up! I would recommend her without a doubt.

    Bridal hair!

    I have known Elena for years and her work is amazing. I immediately booked her once I knew the date for our wedding! Elena is so talented. She did my hair for my wedding as well as my 5 bridesmaids and Mom, everyone looked amazing and loved their hair. Could not have asked for better.

    Wedding Beauty ❤️

    I am so thankful we found Elena. As soon as I saw her work online, I knew immediately that I had to have her take care of my girls and me. I’m especially thankful for her, because she was very flexible and supportive of my decision to postpone our wedding due to covid. I was thrilled that she was available on our new date. It was meant to be 🥰 We had a lot of plans change and moving parts, and they rolled with it. She and her sweet husband, Costa, did a beautiful job on our hair. Everyone felt beautiful and special. I highly reccomend!
