  Above and beyond in every regard!

  I would wholeheartedly and without a shred of doubt, recommend Annika and her expert team of Annimations Artists to anyone seeking hair and makeup services.
  
  Both myself and my large group of 10 other ladies, were all made to feel like our best selves ahead of my wedding. I had never been a fan of having my makeup professionally done by someone else (my eyes often water and I’ve never truly felt like “myself” afterwards). Annika and her team have changed all of that for me. The way she tailors makeup application to your comfort level, how she blends your “inspiration photos” to her expertise of how to accentuate YOUR features and skin, leaves you feeling nothing short of fabulous … and with a look that can withstand humidity, dance floor sweat and ample happy tears.
  
  Her team comprises a crew of friendly, knowledgeable and punctual experts who only added to the joy of working with Annika herself.
  
  On top of it all, Annika was one of the most affordable, cost-transparent and flexible beauty partners I have ever come across. Payments were easily and securely handled online via credit card, everything was spelled out in a flexible and timely fashion from the point of booking and she enabled a package that accommodated both my bridal shower look, trial and even helped to shape my brows ahead of the big day.
  
  From our first point of contact over a year ahead of my wedding, to pinning my veil moments before my photos and wedding ceremony, Annika does so much more than your average beauty team.
  
  It’s the moments following a momentous event like your wedding that you can sit back and realize who the key contributors were to every highlight and success. At every turn, Annika shines as one of those most remarkable people - I truly couldn’t have imagined my entire wedding season without her (and her fantastic team).
  
  Run, don’t walk to book her - I promise you won’t regret it and as someone who had never heard of her before my Google searches last year - I’d lend my personal recommendation to anyone seeking a past client opinion!
  
  Thank you, thank you, thank you, Annika 🙌

  Wonderful.

  Annika did a wonderful job for my bridal trial and wedding day. She was super easy to work with and offered suggestions and tips to make sure I looked my best. Honestly, I’m still surprised with how beautiful I looked on my wedding day. I wish that my extensions matched my curl pattern a bit better and that the shimmer used on the day of matched my skin tone but those were small hiccups. Overall, Annika did an amazing job. She made me and my MOH look beautiful.

  Beautiful and professional!

  We had a great time working with Annimations and we all looked and felt beautiful for our wedding day! As two brides, we were initially drawn to Annimations from a friend's recommendation as an inclusive vendor. Annika put together the "Love Is Love" package which didn't penalize us with extra costs just because we were two brides wanting hair and makeup done. We had hair and makeup done for us two brides plus 6 bridesmaids and our mother's hair with 3 artists in 5 hours. Everything ran smoothly and we finished even a little bit early!
  We did have a couple glitches with the online system for emailing back-and-forth and had some delayed responses leading up to the wedding. All in all it was not major and everything worked out perfectly!

  Left Me Scrambling

  I had a contract with AnnimationsMkUp almost a year before my Sept. 13th wedding - they had requested I fill out a specific document and use it as an example which I returned to them as promptly as possible (I had a death in the family, but this was months prior to my wedding). The owner, Annika, was understanding and once I submitted it I heard nothing. I followed up a few weeks later to book my trial and confirm she had received it.
  
  She did, and let me know that for all of the bridesmaids and myself who do not know their "skin description/type" or have a dedicated skin care routine, they will need to sign a waiver indicating that AnnimationsMkUp will not be responsible for the lack of longevity of the makeup if it doesn't hold. I thought that was odd, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere in my contract, but I moved on and tried to collect more information for her.
  
  She had then let me know that her artists were able to refuse service if they did not have enough information about skin type, etc. This worried me and I went through my entire contract and there was no clause about this, the only clause about refusal of service was for aggressive behavior, uncomfortable environment, etc. I asked her to call me at this point to go over the contract and clarify.
  
  I mentioned many times to her that I do not have a dedicated skin care routine, I know nothing about makeup and don't wear it often and neither do my bridesmaids. After some back and forth, and (to me) implications that I was unclean, she decided she did not want to work with me. I was left high and dry with less than 2 months before my wedding.
  
  Afterwards I got my deposit back and found many other companies willing to work with me, and more than happy with the details I originally provided to Annika. Annika has since tried to attack my character for speaking out about my experience, I really hope this is a one-off experience but wanted to share my almost year long experience.

  AnnimationsMkUp Professional Make Up and Hair Styling's reply:

  Hi Kaysha,
  
  Thank you so much for submitting this review. I am glad that people will be able to see your side and also my own.
  
  As I said in my original response to your google review, I fired you as a client mostly due to your total disdain and lack of respect for myself, my team and your industry. At Annimations, I am the owner here, and I don’t have a security team, or and HR department, or any way to protect myself or my team from verbal abuse than to terminate the client. I will not force my team to work in a possible hostile work environment when I have experience first hand a client speaking to me and treating me like a lowly servant, and have no respect for your industry and our work. This is what I experienced from you on our phone call.
  
  Additionally, we have had Brides throughout the years with even less of a skin care routine than you. But instead of scoffing and insinuating that makeup and skin care is not something you have any interest in and it is beneath you to care about some shallow and meaningless, trivial topic such as makeup and skin care, these Brides start a routine based on my recommendations and make sure their bridal party follow our guidelines. They have respect or us that we know our craft and accept our recommendations and directions with open arms because they are willing to make changes in order to ensure the best possible results on their wedding day. I am not asking people to get botox and lip filler, I am not asking people to spend thousands or even $100 towards this, I just ask them to simply take care of their skin and stay hydrated to the best of their ability, and if they do not know how, to take my advice and do so daily prior to the wedding.
  
  With both your extremely abusive treatment of me over the phone and your total lack of openness to getting to the bottom of your skin types and routine so that I could help you, I could not see Annimations as the company for you and thusly I terminated our contract and sent you a full refund of your deposit. Under no circumstance would I ever subject my team to work for someone with the capacity to treat others like scum under their finger nails the way you spoke to me and decimated my entire life’s work with your cruel and mocking attitude.
  
  I know your wedding has gone by and you had a great day, and I am happy for you. And I know this review and my reply is public. Hopefully this will encourage other clients who have low opinions of the beauty industry or have no intention of opening their minds to it, to refrain from contacting us as a possible vendor for their day as we are not the correct company for them.
  
  Please enjoy your married life and thank you again for sharing this, it will help us greatly to deter any future similar circumstances.

  Amazing Work

  Raquelle and Richa provided amazing hair and makeup service. The whole bridal party looked and felt amazing! These ladies were so sweet and professional. They catered to everyone's wants and needs. And provided suggestions to those who didn't have a clue as to what type of makeup or hair would work for them. The end results were perfect, could not have asked for a better team! Highly recommend these ladies for all your hair and makeup needs!

  Amazing Experience

  I had my hair and makeup done with Annika and Jay for 3 of my wedding events and it was the best experience ever! I've had a really bad experience with hair and makeup before so I was super nervous for my own wedding but Annika and Jay did a wonderful job! They listened to exactly what I wanted, what I liked, and what I disliked. They also gave very helpful suggestions and were super flexible when I had to change timings. Would totally recommend this team!!

  Great experience!

  I had a great experience working with Annika at Annimations and her team! The team was very professional and the pricing is very reasonable. I did have to send a few follow up emails to get my timeline from her, but Annika was very accommodating to changes to my timeline that I requested. She did an amazing job selecting the artists for me and my group! My main makeup artist was Rebecca and she did such a beautiful natural and soft glam and a gorgeous bun that lasted so well throughout the night. Kris did soft glam for the rest of the group and my bridesmaids were raving about how happy they were with their makeup. Overall I would definitely recommend Annimations!

  Highly recommend!

  Annimations Makeup made me look and feel so beautiful. ❤️ I received SO many compliments about my hair & makeup. Annika made me feel very comfortable in both my preview and the day of the wedding, which is something that was very important to me. She was kind and professional and answered any questions I threw her way. Shout out to Nilou as well for my beautiful engagement shoot makeup! Suffice to say I left my husband wow’ed each time. The packages available are very fair in terms of pricing and what is offered. I really appreciated the flexibility there. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have an upcoming wedding or event!

  Absolutely Fantastic!

  I found AnnimationsMkUp after a horrible experience with another hair and makeup "artist". So after my first bad experience I was very anxious about booking without a trial first. Annika was so kind and explained how her business works the the girls that work for her and their would have to be a booking before a trial. Annika then went above and beyond with offering that she could do the trial and that I would be booking her as my wedding day artist if I liked her work. Obviously there was a small charge for the extra trial but other artists wouldn't even consider to offer this. The first trial was absolutely wonderful. I never wear makeup and felt so pretty. So I booked with Annika to have myself and 5 others done with hair and makeup. A few days before my wedding I had my second trial with Annika, I picked a very unique style for my hair which I'll admit was not successful the first try. But with Annika's positive attitude and her great love toy her clients happy and feel as beautiful as possible. She gave it another try and omg, yes it turned out great! There was few things for feed back on the makeup as well during the trial. On the wedding day Annika and Bex arrived right as scheduled with bubbly positive attitudes, that lifted the moods of the half sleepy bridal party. Annika and Bex quickly turned my hotel room into a portable beauty parlor. The way the scheduled my brial party gave my girls time to run around and do so for me, which was so helpful. All my girls loved their looks and got exactly what they asked for. Annika absolutely wonderfully nailed my look. All the feed back that was discussed at the trial she did it perfectly. Annika is so through and takes such pride in her work and business and it shows completely in her work. I'm so glad I had Annika as part of my wedding day, she truly make the day start off great.
