Disney wedding

My stylist for hair and makeup was Mayline. She was amazing. My hair and makeup turned out perfect. So much better than I could have hoped for. She did my sister and myself (starting at 4am) and it was $525 including the early morning fee for bridal hair and makeup, plus one additional makeup for my sister. Mayline was super sweet and most importantly on time. She even waited for me to get dressed to assist my sister with the veil to ensure it wouldn't fall out or mess up my hair. I asked for a beauty and the beast rose bun for my hair(half up half down) and she pulled it off no problem. It was the most magical day of my life and she made me feel more confident than I have ever felt before. I will be reaching out to them again for my photoshoot and I highly suggest working with them. * had to take the photo from her Instagram reel because I don't have my photos back yet.*

Amazing!

It was the best! !
Since I live in Japan, rehearsals were difficult and I was worried about how things would turn out. I sent a photo of what I wanted it to look like beforehand. And she was able to recreate it perfectly!
Also, it was raining on the day of her wedding so we decided to change her wedding time. As a result, I had to change the makeup time, and I told them the day before, but they were flexible.
I had a great time and had a great time talking to me while I was getting my makeup done. I was very happy to be able to do the makeup that I had always dreamed of doing.
Thank you so much!!!

Amazing service

I had the pleasure of working with the Orlando-based Fairytale Hair and Makeup team and it was one of the best decision I made. I had Jolie as my MUA and she exceeded all expectations. Rachel was also present for the day of the wedding and her skills were nothing short of amazing.
