Professional, talented and the person you want getting you ready!

I could not be happier with Larissa and her team! She was professional, thorough and hired an amazing team to come alongside her to get me, my mom, my grandma and 7 other bridesmaids ready in 4 hours. Truly could not have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! I also did a trial with her and she was so easy to be around and we connected instantly. Couldn't recommend her enough.

Perfect job!

I am so glad that I met Larissa through work. I had a non-traditional bridal makeup vision and she nailed it. I got so many compliments after all my friends were concerned it was going to be something "not bridal enough". I could not have been happier with it. My mom got her makeup done by Larissa too and she got loads of compliments as well. Larissa is also just very sweet and dedicated to making you happy. She also helped me with my sister's makeup when I was struggling to get her lashes sorted out. I would highly recommend Larissa! :)

Wonderful!

My wife and I are so grateful to Larissa for the makeup she did for us on our wedding day. Our makeup held up even at times of VERY heavy crying (of happiness, of course). She was responsive, professional, kind, orderly, and a real pleasure to have as a vendor for your big day. We both were so happy with our hair and makeup and cannot rave enough about her and the quality of her work.

Larissa was absolutely amazing. I had a hard time explaining what kind of look I was going for but she nailed it perfectly. She was really easy to work with and does an amazing job with airbrush makeup. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!

I hired Larissa for my wedding hair and makeup, and she was fantastic! I wanted something that was very natural, as my husband doesn't like a lot of makeup, but I wanted it to still feel special. She hit the nail on the head! I had a natural face and lip, but my eyes had a slight purple on the outer corner, which brought the drama and sophistication that I wanted. Due to my fidgeting, I asked her to make a Kaitlin-proof hairstyle, and it was this beautiful, textured bun that I couldn't pick apart. She was super flexible about changing little things here and there, both after the makeup/hair trial and for the day of. And to top everything off--we even finished early!

Larissa was amazing. Loved having a rehearsal of what the makeup would be like. She is so responsive to changing anything you don't like, she has great suggestions on what would look great. Day of my wedding, Larissa was on time ready to go at my mom's house and did an amazing job. Got tons of compliments on the airbrushed makeup. Loved it! Would definitely recommend her anytime!

Larissa did a absolutely lovely job on my wedding hair and makeup. She arrived on time, and brought a huge assortment of make-up products that I could choose from. She was friendly and open about what she thought would and wouldn't work for my hair and make-up, and I really appreciated her professional opinion!

For hair, I had a loose side bun that didn't slip at all during the day. The make-up was soft and dark around the eyes, and made me feel very glowing. It looked great on pictures.

Overall, I felt like I looked like a star. I was happy with the style-- she captured my vision and I got exactly what I want.
