Meraki Salon Services was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day beauty needs. They were quick to reply to our inquiries and easy to get in touch with, which made the planning process much smoother. On the day of, the quality of their work was great and the looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire event. They were also flexible in meeting us at our hotel to provide the services, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter). I’ve never felt more beautiful! I did an in-home trial so we could fine tune the look as I don’t know much about makeup. I strongly recommend the trail because it made the day-of run so much more smoothly! Sumayyah came to our venue and knew exactly what I wanted, and even helped my mom, sister, and I get into our elaborate dresses. I loved working with her!

I worked with Krysta through another Vendor/Company and she was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day. Their communication was always punctual, honest and understanding throughout the planning process, which I greatly appreciated during an otherwise hectic time. On the big day itself, Krysta was patient, efficient and truly made everyone's vision come to life with her flawless work that far exceeded expectations. She spent time with each member of the wedding party to understand their individual styles and preferences in order to create stunning, detailed looks personalized for each person.

Both Shaun and Bianca were incredible to work with. From the moment we met them, they made what could have been a very stressful situation very chill and fun. They were both able to perfectly understand what we wanted at our hair and make-up trials, and we needed almost no tweaking to anything after that. We were two brides with 7 people in our bridal parties needing hair and makeup, and the timing was managed beautifully without starting insanely early, which we were incredibly grateful for! They even brought on a third stylist, Mari, who did both hair and makeup and fit perfectly with our vibe. They kept us right on schedule and were just a pleasure to work with. We both loved our end looks, and our bridal party was super happy with everything they did. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hair and makeup team for your big day (or any special event)!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

My beauty journey started when I was about 4 years old.That’s when I helped myself to my mother’s lipsticks—which weren’t easy to come by in those days! I decided that day -and all days- should be Halloween, and I painted my face accordingly. As I grew, my love affair with makeup intensified. When I was a teenager, I would wear heavy, smoky eye makeup. I’ve grown out of that stage, having come to appreciate natural beauty. It’s natural beauty that I focus on now. But don’t get me wrong! I still love a wide palate of colors and working on creative photoshoots, pictorial projects, and editorial pieces.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Elena and her team! We did the silver package and my best friends, mom, and I were all thrilled with the end product and experience overall. We were not a make up and hair savvy group and she easily took us through the process and went with the vibe each girl asked for. She really listened to us when we asked for a more natural look and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.
