Reviews for Lavish hair & Makeup studio
GUEST
I worked with Annette and Camilla for my hair and makeup for my wedding. They came onsite to my hotel (showing up bright and early at 6am) to do hair for me and 2 flowergirls and makeup for me, 2 bridesmaids and mother of bride. They did an excellent job - better than we could have every hoped for! I would highly recommend them for your wedding day beauty needs!

Annette Avila did both my hair and makeup for the big day and it was PERFECT! I looked the best I have ever looked (exactly what I hoped for my wedding day) and I had a great time with Annette. She is creative and very skilled.

Annette did a great job on everyone's hair. All my girls looked wonderful. I really liked what she did with my hair. I didn't want anything over the top, just simple..up..and a little sexy! She arrived early and got everyone including myself done before our time scheduled so we had a little more time for photos! Now, I get my hair done by her on a regular basis.

Annette was amazing, she did my hair exactly as I imagined for my wedding. I was not afraid to give her feedback if I didn't like something and she was completely responsive and professional.

She did my wedding last weekend - WOW what an amazing job! They say weddings are forever, but if this one doesn't work out, Annette will definitely be working any other weddings for me!
Anette did my hair and makeup for my wedding. Both were absolutely gorgeous. She also did all of my bridesmaids hair and makeup for two of them. Everybody looked amazing.I had 4 hair trials prior to meeting Anette and was relieved when I met her. She was the first person to actually understand what I wanted and make it happen. I ended up changing my mind and going with a much simpler style then I had planned and she was flexible and supportive and helped me pick the best style for my dress and face. I only gave her a 4 for the quality of service because my curl didn't last all night. I have difficult hair and the wedding day was really windy, so I am not convinced there was anyway to prevent it. She was the most expensive consult I had, but it was worth it to me. I highly recommend Anette for your hair and makeup needs.

Annette and her team did a fantastic job with hair and makeup for our wedding. I went in with a general vision of what I wanted, which she executed better than I could have imagined. The look she created was natural and flawless, and my hair and makeup held up well the entire day. I was also very happy with the looks she created for our wedding party, including the mothers of the bride and groom. Her services are a bit pricey, but it was really nice to just deal with one person for both hair and makeup. My only complaint was that I had to have my hair done very early in the morning because Annette had booked another wedding on the same day (after she had booked my wedding), but I guess it doesn't hurt to be ready a bit early on your wedding day....and it wasn't like I was going to sleep in anyways!
