Aleksandra Artistry

  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Branford, CT

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 30 years old based in West Haven, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleksandra Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day beauty. Their communication was continuous and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - from our initial consultation to the day-of application. The quality of their work was truly amazing, transforming my look in a jaw-dropping way. Aleksandra ensured my makeup lasted all night and perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. She also gave me great pointers on how to prepare my skin and hair leading up to the big day. Aleksandra was punctual, took the time to go through all of our options realistically, and chose colors that were simply perfect - colors I never would have considered on my own. I couldn't recommend Aleksandra Artistry more highly for any bride looking for a true beauty pro to make them feel and look their absolute best on their wedding day.

It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Justine and her team!!! From the first call to the trial run to the day of the wedding, Justine was the consummate professional—thorough, organized, and a generally calming and beautiful presence. She took the time to hear my vision and my worries (I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally so I was concerned about making sure I felt like myself) and at the practice run, she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful before I left her chair. The day of the wedding, she and her team were right on time, and took care of my bridal party, mother, and mother in law quickly and beautifully! They helped my mother in law (who’s even more nervous about makeup than I am) feel relaxed and beautiful, and answered my mom’s very specific concerns with no issues. Everyone in my bridal party felt gorgeous, and so did I!! They brought a calming presence to what could have been a hectic morning, and everyone who was part of the getting ready process agreed that we couldn’t have had a better beauty team.

Meghan did an incredible job on my wedding day!! She was attentive to all the different hairstyles my bridesmaids and my mom and my mother-in law asked for. She did multiple touch ups to make sure everyone looked the way they wanted to on the way out the door, and she did not stop until everyone was happy with their look! I changed my mind from my trial after seeing one of my bridesmaid's style, and Meghan adapted quickly! My hair stayed in place the whole wedding night and everyone commented on how beautiful it looked. You want to hire Meghan because of her skill but also her reliability. She was prompt and timely, and anyone who has planned a wedding knows how many moving pieces there are and how hard it can be to find someone reliable and talented and that's exactly who Meghan is!

Wow, if I could have invited Abby & Bailey to actually ATTEND my wedding - I would have because that's how much I loved working with them and having them be a part of my wedding day! From the very first call (9 months before my wedding), Abby was beyond incredible. She immediately made me feel like I could rely on her and I trusted that she would make sure my wedding look was everything I wanted it to be. In the 9 months leading up to the wedding, she answered every single one of my questions within hours of me sending an email. The day of was perfect - Abby and Bailey executed my vision beyond my wildest dreams! They were excellent with my mom, MIL, SIL, and cousins and did a great job keeping us on schedule. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also FUN and personable! When looking for "the one" for hair and make-up for your wedding it's, of course, important that they are skilled, but to me, it was equally important that they fit the vibe on my wedding day since they are with you all day. Abby excelled in all those areas! Book her ASAP :-)

I am jumping into my 8th bridal season and am more passionate about it than ever before! Self-proclaimed selfie queen, instagram addict, social media connoisseur, skincare obsessor, pro chit chatter, youtube veteran, og beauty lover, and bridal magician.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

From the moment I did the hair and makeup trial up to my wedding day Loran, and Lauren have been easy to work with. They show they really care about you, not just by making the bride feel comfortable on the special day but also the other people that will be receiving the service. They were on time and very professional. Everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup . It also lasted a very long time and everyone got many compliments. I couldn't have been happier with who I chose to make me feel. You will not be disappointed !

Lauren was fantastic! She arrived early in the morning for my wedding day makeup for 6 bridesmaids, my mom and myself. I couldn't be any happier with my results, especially considering I live out of the area and we did not have time for a trial prior to the wedding day. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you Lauren!
