Hilda Kershman

Hilda did my hair and makeup for my second reception in Texas, for my husband's family friends.

5 stars - Hilda is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She makes every bride feel special and really enhances the good spirits of your big day. It was pouring rain, and she walked me to the car with an umbrella over my head. She insisted that I keep the umbrella to keep me dry for the 10 foot walk from the car to the reception entrance. I thought that was very sweet of her.

5 stars - Hilda and the designers in her studio do a GREAT job with trials. There was one girl in the studio with me who was very "demanding" and made them redo her hair like three times. You get to try multiple hairstyles and makeup styles for a very reasonable price. In comparison, my hair trial with an artist in San Francisco was 3x the price and she only did one hairstyle and one makeup. So Hilda definitely wins hands down in the makeup and hair trial category!

3 stars - She was about half an hour late to our appointment. =( It turned out ok, but I was stressed for those 30 minutes I spent waiting.

4 stars - There were a few things that struck me as odd, ie. using qtips to apply eyeshadow rather than brushes? The overall result of my makeup and hair was fine, though not as good as the makeup and hair artist I booked for my San Francisco wedding. However, Hilda is about 3x less expensive than the artist I used, so her services are a great value and I would book her again if I had a special event in Houston, Texas.
