Caroline did a phenomenal job with my wedding hair and was everything I could have hoped for in a hairstylist! From the start, she was incredibly personable and made the morning so much fun for me and my bridesmaids. Despite having a big bridal party of nine, she was timely and efficient, making sure each of us felt beautiful without ever feeling rushed. When it came to my bridal hair, she brought my vision to life perfectly—it was everything I dreamed of and more! Not only is she insanely talented, but she’s also a total girl’s girl. She came prepared with a bag full of things we didn’t even know we’d need throughout the day, making her a lifesaver in so many ways. Her professionalism, fun personality, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of my wedding morning and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Rose did my hair and our bridal party's hair and did an excellent job! We did a hair preview a few weeks prior and she remembered exactly what I wanted. She also remembered some of the issues we had with the style at the preview and modified it to make it work best for the day. She brought extra bobby pins and hairspray and showed up perfectly on time (in fact she was a little early!). She was great and I highly recommend her! Adorn Salon did a great job coordinating the hair service. The stylist I was originally paired with was unexpectedly unable to work, but they were honest and worked quickly to ensure that they found a replacement.

I can’t speak highly enough about Alaina. From booking to the wedding day, she was phenomenal. She started with a questionnaire to discuss my vision, skincare, and what makeup I currently the use. The trial was so much FUN and she took everything I said into consideration. Come the wedding day, she made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable. I had girls who like heavy makeup, girls who like minimal, and everything in between. She accommodated everyone’s needs and my friends have never looked more beautiful! As for my makeup, my skin has never looked so flawless! All night everyone commented on my makeup, saying it was pristine. It lasted all through the night. Photos, dinner, and TONS of dancing, everything stayed perfectly. She even gave us little touch up kits and straws so we wouldn’t mess up our lips. Thank you, Alaina, for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

I wanted a nice natural looking glow for my wedding day—nothing too dark or “fake” looking. Blaire chose the perfect color for my skin and it made me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day! When I booked the appointment, she sent me pre-treatment care to follow so that I would have the most even tan. During the spray tan, I felt so comfortable in front of her and she walked me through every step of the way. At the end, she applied delicious scented powder to keep my tan even and reviewed the post-care instructions with me. The next day, she checked in with me to make sure everything was perfect—which it was. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my tan. I’ve had spray tans in the past that had a funny smell too and this spray tan did not. It also didn’t rub off/transfer into my wedding dress which was something I was worried may happen. 10/10 would recommend a spray tan from Blaire for your big day!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!

I am an admirer of makeup and hair, with little experience lol. I really just shared my vision with Nina and she let me know what I needed! They completely over delivered on quality of work and customer service!! I also highly recommend their hair extension rental. So easy and the extensions really amplified my hairstyle. By the way!
