Wedding Makeup done to perfection!
I had Christi and her team do my makeup and my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! I have moderate rosacea, and my makeup was FLAWLESS throughout the day/night. I may have felt my flares occurring, but it was never visible to the naked eye. She also helped me achieve the "berry lip look" I was dreaming of. Even though I wanted a more prominent glam look, many of my bridesmaids wanted to keep their makeup looks more minimal. Their makeup looked STUNNING, and they all were thrilled with their makeup. We've all been in lots of weddings in the past few years, and my wedding (with Christi) was the first where everyone loved their makeup (not just the bride). She convinced me to do a spray tan, and I did the lightest spray tan possible. It looked perfect, and I'm glad I listened to her advice. To wrap it all up, she was a very genuine, kind, and calming presence, and I couldn't have down my wedding day without Christi and her House of Koukla team!

Christi and her team were AMAZING! They went above and beyond to make the day run smooth, fun, and beautiful. My bridal party and I felt incredible, and I received compliments all night long. I’m so BLESSED to have had these ladies as part of my wedding day. Do yourself a favor and book them NOW! -

House of Koukla made me look like a movie star!! I wish we could do it all over again!
I got married in October 2024 and was recommended House of Koukla by SO MANY of our friends and family! Christi and her team are outstanding and made me look like a movie star on my wedding day. I loved the entire process from beginning to end and even booked multiple custom spray tans with HOK leading up to the wedding for various events. Christi is seriously so nice and answered so many questions I had leading up to the big day about anything from spray tans, to when should I get my eyebrows laminated, hair extensions, hair jewelry options, and makeup recommendations. Her team made me feel so secure and confident leading up to the big day and I couldn't have been happier with how my entire bridal party looked. Katie did my hair and gave me the most amazing Hollywood glam waves and I'm obsessed with how our pictures turned out. I wish we could do it all again! I will absolutely be coming back to HOK for any future events where I want full glam! Thank you HOK!! -

The service from House of Koukla was worth every penny and more. They listened so carefully, and totally carried out my vision. I looked like myself but just more beautiful; I think 80 separate people at my 100-person wedding commented on how stunning I looked. The makeup was also incredibly beautiful on all ages, including my mother and mother-in-law. I would book them one hundred times over. -

Hair and Spray Tan
To say I love this team is a complete understatement. Christi did my spray tan for both my shower and wedding. Sam did my hair for both my shower and wedding. Christi specifically made me feel like we’d been friends for years! She was extremely flexible and accommodating, so much that she even did my bridal shower makeup with what felt like little notice. The amount of compliments I received on everything was unreal. They truly made me feel so beautiful and confident, and I can’t thank them enough! -

Booking House of Koukla was one of the best decisions I made throughout my entire wedding planning process! Right from the start, they were extremely kind, thorough, and easy to work with! They truly did whatever it took to make my bridesmaids, moms, grandmas, flower girl, and I feel as beautiful as possible! They even traveled all the way to Lake Geneva to make it happen! Book their team for your wedding - you will be so thankful! -

Christi and Katie did such an amazing job on our hair and makeup for my wedding on Saturday! Communication leading up to the wedding was excellent and I really appreciate that they took so much time even at the trial to make sure it was what I wanted! It was 94 degrees on Saturday and we had an outdoor first look and ceremony and I so appreciate that they spent time making me look and feel beautiful and also that my hair and makeup was still flawless after hours of being outside in the heat, sun, and wind!
They were both so fun to get ready with and also helped my wedding party stay on schedule! Everyone loved their hair and makeup! Thank you so much!! -

I've had Christi at House of Koukla spray tan me and my husband for our wedding and events afterwards. Her spray tan studio is divine! She is so diligent in ensuring the whole process runs smoothly and that your spray tan lasts throughout the time of your event and even a little afterwards. She is so amazing and talented at all things beauty, I trust her with my body and my big events! I cannot recommend her and her studio enough. -

I had the pleasure of working with this amazing team for my wedding hair and makeup, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment we started the trial, I felt completely at ease. Katie listened to my vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made me feel like the best version of myself. On the big day, Christi and Her team (Katie, Sam and Monica) arrived early, set up quickly, and worked so efficiently while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. My hair and makeup lasted all day, looking flawless through the ceremony, photos, and dancing! I felt absolutely gorgeous, and I received so many compliments. I’m so grateful for their professionalism, talent, and the joy they brought to my special day. Highly recommend! -

Incredible Experience for Our Destination Wedding
I had the absolute pleasure of working with House of Koukla for my wedding in Las Vegas, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Christi traveled all the way to Las Vegas to do my bridal makeup, and she truly exceeded every expectation. Her professionalism, talent, and attention to detail were unmatched. She handled everything seamlessly. Christi’s warm personality and gift of gab made the experience even more special. She has a way of putting you completely at ease, which is exactly what every bride needs on such an important day.
My makeup was flawless, timeless, and lasted beautifully throughout the entire day. Christi made me feel confident and radiant. She is dedicated, skilled, and genuinely invested in making you look and feel your best. -

Love House of Koukla!
House of Koukla was so great to work with for our recent wedding in September 2024! Christi was responsive and great at communicating with me. Their prices were very reasonable and it was nice not to have to pay for all my bridesmaids up front so when the day came closer, I could gather that all together and get it to them a couple weeks before which is major when your budgeting for a wedding. They listened to what I wanted for my wedding and they honestly are so great at what they do, I think the finished look was better than what I showed them!. They also were so kind as to use my mom’s personal make up for her and made her feel so comfortable with the process because she’d never had her make up done before. Giving me the lip shade they used for touch ups throughout the night (that they make themselves) was also so cool. 12/10 would book them again!! -

Cailin Sent on 07/08/2024The best experience!
It was such a pleasure to work with House of Koukla for my wedding! Christi, our main point of contact, was very friendly and communicative. She made the booking and planning process very easy and was quick to respond to any of my messages.
Tara, my makeup artist, and Katie, my hair stylist, were just phenomenal. They listened to my preferences while steering me in the right direction for realistic hair styles for my hair type and makeup shades for my skin tone. I ended up changing both my make up and hairstyle from my trial a few months prior, so I was a little nervous as to what I would actually look like on my wedding day. Both Tara and Katie were so flexible and totally nailed my new looks. I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day.
We had a very early start time on my wedding morning and both Tara and Katie were very prompt and on time with arrival as well as completion! No one felt stressed or rushed at all, and the morning ran smoothly. I would highly recommend House of Koukla to any bride! -

Wedding Day Perfection!
House of Koukla exceeded all my expectations for my wedding day! They handled both hair and makeup for my bridal party and me, and the results were stunning. Monica, Sam, and Rachel did an incredible job—everyone looked and felt absolutely beautiful. Working with Christi was a delight. She communicated promptly and was so easy to get along with, making the entire process stress-free. Choosing House of Koukla was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with their services!

Highly highly recommend House of Koukla to everyone for special events, but also for other services like lash lift/tint, brow lamination, etc. They do it all!!! -

Julie Sent on 12/11/2022Great Hair and Makeup Team
I got married in October 2022 and booked with House of Koukla for bridal hair and makeup and bridesmaids hair/makeup plus a lash lift. Katie did hair and Monica did makeup for both the trial and day-of. I did my hair trial and makeup trial on different days just due to scheduling conflicts and appreciated that both Katie and Monica were super open and receptive to feedback on the day-of and made me feel absolutely beautiful! I never wear false lashes but wanted to try them for the trial but found them too heavy so for day-of, Monica brought smaller lash fill-in pieces which were perfect on top of the lash lift (highly recommend the lash lift if you have straight lashes like I do! They stay curled, dark, and beautiful for almost two months!!).
On the day-of, everyone’s hair turned out amazing and the makeup looked beautiful! I would definitely suggest as the bride to build in some extra time just in case as we ran slightly behind (also because I had a last minute request to get hair done by a family member which Katie was able to accommodate).
At the end of the night I can confirm that my makeup did not smudge one bit despite several happy tears and my hair stayed in place and looked amazing after dancing for hours!
Katie and Monica are both great to work with and Christi (salon owner) did my lash lift and is super sweet. -

I had the BEST experience working with Christi and the House of Koukla team for my wedding!! They perfectly executed my vision for hair and makeup, even though my hair look was unique, and they did such a beautiful job with the moms and bridesmaids, too. Christi also made my first spray tan experience seamless. I can't recommend House of Koukla enough! -

I can’t get over how awesome my experience was!
I can’t thank Christi and her team enough for making my bridal party, all mothers, and myself look so beautiful on my wedding day! I was so so happy that HOK was available when I reached out to schedule. Christi and Tara were prompt, so welcoming to all, time efficient with each girl, and so friendly!!!! These girls have a magic touch with make up! I would recommend HOK to anyone!! Hands down best experience I’ve had. My bridal party kept saying days after my wedding how much they loved the airbrush, how their make up turned out and how much Tara and Christi were amazing! Thanks HOK! -

Christi and her House of Klouka team was kind, personable, and professional from the first time meeting over a year before my wedding to my wedding day! During my bridal makeup trial, Christi and I instantly connected. She was so careful to listen to my vision of my wedding, took notes of what I envisioned for myself on my wedding day, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We were laughing like friends very quickly into the trial! Christi is exceptional at natural looking makeup. She never puts on makeup that is outside of anyone's comfort zones. She made sure my bridesmaids and mom felt absolutely beautiful and like an elevated version of themselves! Christi used my mom's personal makeup due to her sensitive skin without any problems. The HOK took their time on each girl, were prompt on arrival, and were ahead of schedule the whole morning! They were such the perfect addition to my wedding and ensured we each looked so beautiful on my most important day. I can't thank Christi and their team enough! Best of the BEST! -

Christi and her crew of ladies did an AMAZING job. Christi made it very easy to get ahold of her for any questions and adjustments. They made the day of go very smoothly and everyone I worked with us very kind and very talented. I got so many complements on my makeup and felt gorgeous on my wedding day as every bride should! Plus, I was obsessed with how all my bridesmaid's makeup turned out as well. 10 out 10 would recommend them and would use them for any of my professional makeup needs! -

Thank you for being a part of my big day and making my bridal squad feel extra special! -

In February I used Christi with House of Koukla to do my makeup for my engagement photos. I couldn't get over how glamorous I looked and immediately knew it would be the best makeup decision of my life to have her do makeup for my hot and humid August wedding. She is a true master of her profession! My bridesmaids and I looked beyond gorgeous for my wedding and were continuously complimented throughout the night for how beautiful we all looked! Not only does she do great work but her professionalism, organizational skills and overall general personality made it a breath of fresh air to work with on my wedding day! She understands what you want to look like and makes you look even better!!! -

Outstanding work!
Using house of Koukla on your wedding day should be no question! They do amazing work! Christi is so easy to work with! She put together the schedule for the day and had 4 people there to get us ready! I did a trial with my mom and I. From the trial to the day of the wedding we had a couple changes and her team did amazing with those changes. It’s so nice to have them come to you! They bring everything! All you have to do is supply chairs and tables. Everyone looking GREAT! Everyone loved both hair and makeup! -

I actually stumbled upon Christi and House of Koukla when I needed a last-minute Hair and Makeup artist for my engagement pictures. Not only was Christi available and was the sweetest and easiest to work with, but she also made me feel and look like a Rockstar. Her and her team are so easy to talk to while also working efficiently but working towards perfection. I have returned to her for lash lift and tints which I absolutely love, but I have also booked for my wedding. I had my trial a few weeks ago and I was blown away. Not only did they put me at total ease, ( I am a natural nervous Nelly) I was so impressed with my look I could have cried. If you want nothing but the best in service and quality, look no further than House of Koukla. I have found my forever hair and make-up artists. -

Pandemic wedding
We needed to reschedule my daughter’s May wedding due to Covid. There was a lot of anxiety not knowing if we would be able to pull off an August wedding and what it would look like. Christi was so flexible and accommodating. It was one less thing to worry about. We knew she did beautiful work from other weddings but were so impressed with the final results! I would totally recommend House of Koukla! -

Christi & the House of Koukla team are wonderful! I have worked with them now as a bride and bridesmaid. They put time and effort into each service and are great at listening to what you want as the client, whether you have examples of what you want done or whether you let them take the lead on a hair or makeup style. They worked very well with each of my bridesmaids, who all have different skin tones, hair lengths, etc. Everyone looked and felt beautiful ALL day long, thanks to them, even despite 95+ degree weather.
I’m so grateful I chose them and I can’t wait to book with them in the future! -

Christi & Katie are the dream team! Everything from the trial, the airbrush tan, & day of makeup was nothing short of amazing. I had coordinated appointments and details all while living out of state & she kept in communication the entire time, answering questions I had along the way. I tend to be picky when it comes to hair and makeup and let me just tell you, these two truly made me feel like a princess. Compliments were flowing all night at how beautiful & flawless I looked! Both Katie and Christi took my Hollywood glam dream and made it a reality and I am forever grateful for them both! -

My wedding coordinator recommended House of Koukla to me and I am SO glad that she did! I loved working with Christi and her whole team; as did my family and friends who got ready with me the morning of our wedding.
I started working with them early last year on pricing, their services, timeline, etc. I then did two trials with them (one for hair and the other for make-up), eyelash extensions and then the day of wedding prep and they were awesome every step of the way. During my trials, I was able to bring in some examples, make some tweaks and found just what I was wanting.
The day of the wedding Christi and her team were prompt and efficient not to mention fun and personable while we all prepped for the big day. -
