Luxology Esthetics Spa 

5.0

  • Serves Merrill, MI

Hey there! I'm Hannah Willford; Esthetician, Lead Makeup Artist and proud owner of Luxology Esthetics. In 2015, I officially dived into the beauty industry as a makeup artist, and let me tell you, it's been a wild and fabulous ride! Making my clients look and feel amazing is hands down the best part of my gig. I graduated my Esthetics Apprenticeship program in June of 2023. Now I'm not just your go-to gal for luxury bridal makeup and hair artistry, but I also specialize in oh-so-relaxing facials, Brazilian & Body waxing, and Hand-sprayed Sunless Tanning at my suite in Midland, MI.

If there is one piece of advice I could give any bride-to-be, it would be to hire professional vendors. I know that it isn't in the budget for everyone, but having a team of experienced, talented vendors made my day so much better, and Hannah is one of those extremely talented, highly experienced, and just wonderful to work with gems that you should have on your "Team Bride". Her services are beyond excellent: gorgeous artistry, individualized foundation shades, and top of the line products with options for both airbrushed and traditional based on your goals and skin. My makeup and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful, and the makeup stayed through well over 14 hours of wear, both airbrushed and traditional. We even trekked out through the snow for some of our pictures, and at the end of the night everyone still looked flawless! Hannah gave everyone touch-up kits and the bridal kit was stuffed with anything you might need, including a full-sized powder for touch-ups which is probably one of the best I've ever used. Most importantly though, Hannah goes far above and beyond for her clients. She takes her role as part of your day seriously. Prior to the wedding, she provided a makeup trial and personalized skin care recommendations based on my skin type/needs so that my skin was healthy and glowing for my big day. On the wedding day, she got to the venue even before I did and was ready to work. Hannah is also more than willing to help out with anything you need if she can. She helped me down the stairs in my dress, carried my train to the aisle, and helped calm my nerves. She's such a fun, kind, and pleasant person to be around. I really don't think any bride should be without her on their wedding day; I know she played a big role in making my day as perfect as it could be! I absolutely give her my highest recommendation!

Granted, I will start by saying my first trial with a hair and MU artist given to me was disastrous, the pretty committee made it right by giving me another trial with 2 different girls and they were amazing. Kara (MU) and Erin (Hair) did such an amazing job even with me being a bride and changing my mind a few times with the look. they took care of me and my 7 women so perfectly the day of the wedding, were on time, and I would recommend them to anyone in the south haven area.

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. the comfort of my bridal party was my top priority so finding out that alder hair studios was LGBTQ friendly and had an eye for making you look beautiful was the best feeling in the world. multiple members of my bridal party couldnt say enough about how much they loved getting dolled up by KayLeigh and Corena. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!

Aubrey and Christina were absolutely wonderful for me and my bridesmaids. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial as well as hair and makeup on the day. A few bridesmaids got their hair and/or makeup done. We were looking for someone who could do a more natural look as me and my girls are not everyday makeup-wearers so we wanted someone who could make us comfortable in wedding makeup. After a bridal trial with a bit of a heavy bridal makeup look, Aubrey was able to completely pivot and change my look based on feedback from the trial. I could not have been more happy with my makeup or hair on the day of! She was able to do a unique look for each of the girls that was in tune with their own features and style. Both women were very fun and peppy, making getting ready such a great experience. They both had wonderful attitudes and really listened to what we wanted. I would definitely recommend them!
