    Kelly’s the best!

    We hired Larissa lake & co to do my makeup for my wedding and if after reading this post and you’re wondering what to do.. book immediately!!!
    3 days before my wedding I got a call that the original make up artist was in the hospital and unable to do mine or anyone’s makeup the morning of. As any bride the week of the wedding, I was panicking but everyone at Larissa Lake worked so hard to make sure that my day would still be perfect. I was quite skeptical because my trial was everything I hoped for and more and was so nervous it wouldn’t be able to be re-created.
    They were able to squeeze me in for a new makeup trial within 16 hours of that dreaded phone call and I was in the makeup chair with Kelly and she completely recreated the look to perfection and made her own of it and my nerves were immediately gone. I originally had someone else doing my hair but after seeing Kelly work her magic we asked if she would be able to do my hair for my wedding day, and the team figured a way that she would be able to and Kelly was more than accommodating and excited.
    Kelly had another wedding the day of mine which meant she’d have to leave an hour earlier than our original contract stated with our original artist. The whole wedding coordination team figured out a way to make sure all the people getting their makeup done would be able to and because of Kelly having to leave an hour earlier than planned, Larissa’s sister also came to help on wedding day.
    Kelly and Shauntelle were amazing, thorough, kind, and exceptional at their crafts.
    Kelly came with pictures from my trial two days prior and wanted to change a few things and I trusted her completely. Shauntelle did 5 girls makeup and they turned out UNREAL. Everyone loved their makeup and it stayed ALL day and night without moving!
    Kelly did my mom’s makeup and my hair and makeup! They were perfection. My hair stayed all night and my makeup was unbelievable. It couldn’t have turned out better and although I was so nervous with how things would turn out I honestly think everything happens for a reason (of course not the artist getting sick but the change of plans that happened)!
    1000000000/10 recommend. I’d do it all again with the exact same outcome over and over again! Kelly was amazing and i couldn’t be more obsessed with her! Thank you everyone from the Larissa Lake team for going above and beyond! Thank you will never be enough!!!

    Best of the best!

    There are not enough words to express how wonderful it was to work with Kelly and Brittany for my wedding day hair and makeup! They are truly the best of the best! They each took my vision and went above and beyond to make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Each member of my bridal party looked and felt amazing thanks to Kelly and Brittany’s talent and ability to enhance everyone’s natural features. They patiently listened to everyone’s preferences in order to make us all feel and look beautiful. I am so grateful for their attention to detail, as they stayed past their allotted time to provide quick touch ups before we left for the ceremony. Our hair and makeup lasted all day and night, even with plenty of dancing! I highly recommend working with Kelly and Brittany!

    Hire ll & co.

    extremely talented hair and makeup team that were so professional. My hair trial was amazing, and she made all the appropriate changes I asked for on the wedding day. Larissa and her team were on time, traveled to us, and got 8 women done in 4 hours! We were all dripping in sweat from the heat and our makeup was flawless!! Also the salon in Wethersfield is gorgeous if you needed to get ready there.

    I can’t get over how beautiful I felt and looked on my wedding day

    These ladies are extremely talented. Lexi did my makeup and Emily did my hair. I also had Brittany do my spray tan a couple days before! I can’t get over how beautiful I felt and looked the whole time. It is so important for a bride to feel beautiful so don’t take any risks and choose the BEST ladies ever at Larissa lake and co! We also had Ally and Ashley and all 4 of these ladies successfully made almost 20 ladies (including 4 mini ladies) look and feel absolutely beautiful. I have NEVER have been in a wedding where every single bridesmaid is absolutely obsessed with the way their hair and makeup came out!! THANK YOU!!!!

    Beautiful Bride

    Larissa Lake and Co was absolutely incredible for my wedding day! They made me feel so beautiful and secure!! Crystal was quick to respond with answers to any questions I had. My beauty team, Magenta and Ashley, were friendly, punctual and professional! The beauty trials were great to really get the best idea of my wedding look and they were able to make adjustments as needed day of.

    Wedding day they showed up on time and ready to go and made my bridesmaids and myself feel beautiful! My makeup held all night long and through all my sweat and happy tears! My hair looked amazing and also held all night long! I can't thank Ashley and Magenta enough for all their hard work!!!

    Outstanding hair and makeup from Ashlyn and Crystal

    I worked with Ashlyn and Crystal for my wedding and they are clearly world class professionals! My bridesmaids, my mom, and myself were all so impressed with the quality of their work and how efficiently they worked the day of our wedding as well. The hair styles and make-up were done fast and stayed in-tact all day and all night. At midnight, everybody still looked like they had just gotten their hair and make-up done. Crystal was super accommodating when it came to helping me pick out hair extensions for the wedding and Ashlyn remembered the small couple of things I wanted to change with my make-up from the trial to the day of my wedding and executed flawlessly!! We all could not have been happier!

    LL&Co has the most talented artists!

    I booked Crystal & Ashlyn for my wedding hair & makeup, and they completely blew me away! They are such incredible artists, made me look and feel my absolute best, and are so much fun to work with. I still look back at our photos/videos and can't believe how stunning my hair & makeup were, and how well they held up throughout the whole day/night!

    Crystal & Ashlyn also did hair & makeup for the moms & sisters, and everyone looked gorgeous! Every single one of them was so happy with how theirs came out, which I can vouch (from being in many weddings) is never the case.

    I can't recommend these talented ladies enough!!

    Amazing experience

    I can’t thank the ladies at Larissa Lake & Co enough for the amazing work they did for myself and my bridal party! I felt the SO confident and beautiful on my wedding day. Brittany and Emily were so kind and down to earth. We received so many compliments about my hair and make up as well as the others in my bridal party. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Incredible

    Brittany is an actual angel. We live in NY and had a tiny window of time on one specific day to get a make up trial done. She opened the salon early so I could come in, so right from the start I knew she was who I wanted even before experiencing her talent. The day of our wedding she was cool, calm and friendly. Exactly the energy you want to be around when you’re trying to get 8 people and a bride ready. Everyone looked beautiful and loved their make up because she listened to EXACTLY what WE wanted. Do not hesitate for one second if you are considering Brittany to take care of your wedding. She was the best and we could not have been more happy.

    Flawless and professional!

    All I can say is… WOW! My hair and makeup came out FLAWLESS on the big day, along with my bridal party. Ashlyn and Kristyn were professional, fun, and extremely talented! My hair and makeup trial experiences also were fantastic. Ashlyn was able to incorporate my makeup along with hers to create my dream look and Kristyn gave me what I did not even know I wanted! My pictures came back looking incredible, and I could not recommend their services more! In addition, I had my hair cut and colored twice at their salon, and it was WORTH the over an hour drive!

    The glam team of my dreams!

    I truly cannot recommend Larissa Lake and Co. enough for their pre-wedding prep and day-of glam! Maria worked with me for months on skincare and provided the best facials and lash lifts leading up to the day. Not only did Natalie create the perfect color blonde for my hair prior to my wedding, she also gave me the most gorgeous wedding day makeup. Crystal is extremely talented at styling hair and my wedding day look exceeded my expectations. Both Crystal and Natalie were professional, efficient, kind and fun to work with on my wedding day. They gave each woman in my bridal party a unique look. We all felt our absolute best and so beautiful thanks to them. If you’re looking for a passionate, organized and experienced hair and makeup team, look no further. Natalie, Crystal and Maria, thank you for going above and beyond to create my dream wedding glam! The best decision I made during our engagement was choosing Larissa Lake & Co.

    So talented!

    The ladies from Larissa Lake were incredible! Kristyn, the bridal coordinator, was so easy to work with. She responded to all communication so quickly and was so flexible. My mother-in-law called me the week before the wedding asking to have her hair and makeup done and they were so accommodating by adding her to their schedule. Olivia and Natalie were the total dream team! When I went to the salon for my trial they did such an amazing job, but did an even better job (which I didn’t think was possible) for the actual wedding day! They were efficient with their time and all of my bridesmaids were so happy with the way their hair and makeup turned out. They did buns, half up styles, and full down styles and each one looked incredible. They are hands down the best!!

    Wedding Hair 5.30.21

    Larissa Lake & Co was recommended to me by a friend so I booked Crystal to do mine and my wedding party hair. I found Crystal on Instagram and loved all her work. I did a trial with Crystal and showed her a few Pinterest photos and she made my wedding hair dreams come to life. The salon was very communicative leading up to the wedding and Crystal traveled to the hotel and was their on time and finished mine, my mother, matron of honor and maid of honor hair in time. My hair looked even more beautiful than the trial hair. Everyone else loved their hair too. Crystal did an amazing job. She is very professional and truly good at what she does. My hair stayed in place throughout the whole wedding day and so did my bridal party hair. Thank you Crystal!

    Professional, Talented HAMU Team!

    My recent experience with Larissa Lake and Co. was top-notch. I was extremely lucky they were available for my wedding date to do my hair and makeup for my entire bridal party. Larissa and Ashlyn squeezed me into their schedules for a trial before my wedding date and spent so much time listening to what my vision was while offering their professional expertise and insight. On the day of the wedding, they were SO efficient and accommodating for my bridal party of 9. My party is still RAVING about Larissa and Ashlyn's talent - from how great their hair looked, to how well their makeup stayed, to how Ashlyn helped their brows look amazing - they truly were incredible! My hair and makeup also lasted throughout rain and a night full of dancing while still looking natural - just what I wanted! The payment process, from deposit to final payment, was also clear from beginning to end leaving no room for confusion. As a side note, the salon itself is gorgeous and inviting and it is clear the entire team is talented and dedicated. I highly recommend this salon!

    I hired Larissa Lake & Co. for my wedding in May and was amazed with how my hair & makeup turned out. I showed them photos and talked it over and they nailed it! I highly recommend Marissa for hair & Kelly for makeup - they are the best! Thank you ladies for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!

    Wide Range of Hair & Makeup that Stays!

    Me & my insanely large bridal party used Larissa Lake & Co. for our hair and makeup for my wedding day and everyone was LOVING their looks. I know from experience that hair/makeup doesn’t always turn out how everyone wants it for large wedding parties. That was not the case with Larissa. Larissa and team KILLED it and all of my friends and family were so happy and impressed with how amazing they were. From natural looks with gorgeous braids to sultry looks with lots of volume everyone got exactly what they wanted. 100% hire them for your wedding day!

    5 Stars!!!

    Choosing Larissa Lake & Co as my wedding beauty team was, without a doubt, a decision I cannot recommend highly enough!
    I was blessed to have Crystal as my hair stylist for BOTH my small wedding in December and my big celebration in July. Crystal is professional, genuine and beyond talented at what she does. Her attention to detail is outstanding, as she’s constantly going above and beyond to make sure you feel beautiful.
    In July, with a larger group, Olivia and Ashlyn joined Crystal for the day. All three artists were incredibly skillful, applying their expertise so that it reflected the visions we’d shared with them and doing so in a way that made the entire process enjoyable! They were also flawlessly punctual, keeping right on schedule, and even provided touch-ups before leaving! My mom, mother-in-law and bridesmaids were also so happy with how their hair and makeup looked, which is all the more impressive given they each requested distinctly unique styles.
    Thank you so much Larissa Lake & Co!

    Flawless Hair and Makeup!

    Kelly from Larissa Lake is absolutely amazing! When I had worked with her for my hair and makeup trial, she was nice, easy to talk to, and really paid attention to what I wanted for my wedding day look. On my wedding day, Kelly and her assistant, arrived on time and completed all of the girls’ hair and makeup earlier than expected! We actually had a little time to relax before the photographer arrived. We all looked flawless and couldn’t have been happier!! I don’t wear makeup on a day to day basis and was so worried that I wouldn’t look like myself, but Kelly made sure that I was comfortable with how everything was turning out. Best natural looking makeup I’ve ever seen!! My hair and makeup also lasted all day long and that doesn’t usually happen with curls! I can’t recommend Larissa Lake enough!

    Perfect Hair and Makeup!

    Crystal and Stevie from LL&Co were beyond amazing for our wedding day! From the trail to the day of, everything was beyond what I could have imagined.

    Stunning Work

    Where do I begin? These girls are simply the best! The Larissa Lake & Co team did a phenomenal job for my late August wedding - my bridesmaids, moms and myself all looked and felt beautiful thanks to Crystal, Sarah and Natalie. Crystal and I had immediately connected during my trial. She not only understood the vision I had for my bridal hair but made it come to life in the form a gorgeous boho half up/half down 'do! I, along with my wedding guests, were swooning over the creation! Sarah did an outstanding job on my makeup and successfully carried out the "natural glam" look I was going for as a bride.  All the Larissa girls are so friendly, talented and personable. I can't recommend using LL&Co enough for all your wedding-day beauty needs!

    So Happy with Wedding Hair and Makeup

    Marissa and Emilee from Larissa Lake did an amazing job on hair and makeup! They did my hair and make up, along with the majority of our bridesmaids. We were all so happy with the final results! Marissa and Emilee are so professional, upbeat and fun, and took away a lot of the wedding day jitters with hair/makeup being stress free. Thank you so much Emilee, Marissa and the Larissa Lake team!
