Angeleno Beauty

I chose the artists based on Stephanie's organized portfolio of amazing talent and ultimately Chelsea (makeup) and Carina (hair) won me over with their GORGEOUS/FABULOUS/IMPECCABLE work. I loved that she had such a variety in the catalogue so you can really get into the elements of what you would ultimately want for your unique bridal look. Chelsea nailed my dream bridal makeup with finding the perfect combination of glow and bronzer for my olive skin and creating a custom red wine/merlot lip. During the trial, she made sure to check in with me on each application of red, bronze, glow, and blush before adding more or pivoting her technique/products– true collaboration and management of expectation! Her makeup application is so gentle and precise, and her kit is full of luxury brands/products – I felt so pampered everytime sitting in her chair. I appreciated her reviews on make up brands and products to incorporate for my everyday makeup looks and how to prepare for the wedding morning. Carina is full of range – she come’s with the heat, literally. I came into my trial set on an updo because the traditional hollywood glam waves require extensions and Stephanie advised me to purchase some extensions if that’s the route we were going. But honestly, I did not want to pay extra for that so I was set on a clean slickback updo. Me and my glam team + Stephanie have never met, so I wasn’t going to argue with her on text/email how my hair was different and thick blah blah blah, don’t do that because that’s also annoying (as someone who’s worked in customer service). Luckily, we did my trial and she got well acquainted with my hair. The trial with Chelsea and Carina went so well, but you know that feeling when you can’t stop thinking about something? I couldn’t stop thinking about the glam waves and had to do a last minute trial with Carina just to see how that would look. She was so sweet and accommodating even on a tight turn around– the whole team from Angeleno Beauty is determined to make the bride happy :) I took a risk and with Carina’s expertise, she was able to do my glam waves with my natural hair because my hair is thick (on the coarser side, straight/wavy) and was able to hold the curls without the extensions. And honestly, that was the best decision and I regret nothing! Carina and Chelsea have million dollar hands of talent and extensive knowledge of beauty and the wedding industry. My bridal trials and wedding morning with them was nothing short of what Stephanie and Angeleno Beauty guaranteed. With their talent for hair and makeup already in the bag, they didn’t have to go through great lengths to make a gal feel so special, comfortable, and at ease on their wedding day. If, and, any slight or potential issue came to light on my wedding day, I noticed that their grace, demeanor, and attitude always stayed professional and so sweet as to make the bride’s experience top tier. They are so good at sensing when tensions would/could arise, and made it part of their service to keep the air in good spirits, even if it meant doing things that weren’t necessarily their job. I truly enjoyed and appreciated the services Angeleno Beauty provided, they made sure to hype me up and made sure their work was meant to last until the end of the night (finished at 2pm - 11pm party over). I got so many compliments on my hair and my makeup – a true Old Vintage Hollywood Glam vision! With what I paid, yes, ANGELENO BEAUTY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
