CEOBEAUTY NYC

Alena is simply the best! We had booked her and a few other hair & makeup artists from CEOBeauty for our wedding in September. It was an incredible experience and they executed on exactly what I was envisioning. Working with Alena was an awesome experience - she’s so talented, kind, patient, and just so much fun to have around you on the wedding weekend. Alena was with me starting from the rehearsal dinner on Friday through the entire day on Saturday evening (9 pm) and it was the best decision ever. She went above and beyond the entire time, not only touching up my hair & makeup, but also helping to touch up the groom’s and other male family members who needed some help with their hair. She also took plenty of photos and videos for us throughout the entire weekend to make sure we had something to look back on while we waited on our photographer’s sneak peeks and would do thoughtful things like sneak a tissue into my bridal bouquet for ceremony tears. She was always there if I needed a dress floof or someone to hold my bouquet for 2 seconds. If you are looking to hire someone for hair & makeup, you simply must hire Alena, she blew us away all wedding weekend!!

Absolutely the best! All of my bridesmaids looked fantastic. I had Alena and she is truly amazing. She understood exactly what I wanted and kept my very natural. My hair and makeup lasted all night!

I booked CEO Beauty NYC for my wedding in July 2024 and I’m so happy I did! There are many artists in their portfolio, but I ended up booking Barbara and it was the best decision ever! Barbara is kind, patient, and most importantly, she’s very passionate and excellent at her craft. She really takes the time to listen and understand your vision. I could not be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out on the wedding day - it was stunning! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was so happy with the look Tatiana did for me—everything held up well and I felt like a glammed-up pretty version of myself. And it was fun to hang out with Tatiana and Alena on the day of. They brought such a light-hearted and fun vibe that I will think about when I remember the day! Communication for the trial and the wedding was smooth and easy. I highly recommend them!

Alena and her team are incredible! From the trial to the wedding day I felt so comfortable with Alena. She goes above and beyond and even helped fix my hair and touch up my make up during photos. Even the photographer was impressed with how attentive Alena was! She pays such close attention to detail and remembered everything from the trial to the wedding day. Alena is so sweet and fun to work with! So grateful to have had Alena there on my big day

Alena did my hair and makeup, she's incredible! She captured exactly what I wanted and was so fun to work with! Her attention to detail is amazing. I wanted a natural look and typically don't like wearing a full face a makeup but Alena captured my vision perfectly, it felt light and lasted all night! Same with my hair, she placed my curls to perfection. My bridal party all also loved their H&MU! I had 12 people total getting H&MU and the team finished on schedule which set us up to be on time the rest of the day!

My hair looked like a dream. It was everything i wanted it to be for my big day. And all of my bridesmaids loved their hair too and looked stunning! I worked with Alena and i could not be happier with the result. She is an incredibly talented professional but also such a wonderful person and so fun to be around! She listened to what was important to me. When i saw how great my hair looked after we did a trial i had no hesitations and knew she was the right person. I felt like a celebrity! The comfort you feel about trusting your hair will look gorgeous on your wedding day is priceless. I will definitely recommend CEO team to all of my friends who will be getting married. CEO team admin Kate was super responsive which was so helpful. It was the best choice!

I worked with the co-founder Alena for both my trial and day-of makeup. She was so sweet and easy to talk to, and did a wonderful job of replicating the hairstyle and makeup look I had requested. She also made my Maid of Honor feel relaxed and look stunning. Everyone who saw her work was blown away by how beautiful the results were - I don't think I could have looked any better! I felt so comfortable and confident on the big day, thanks in no small part to her work. Kate, the company's coordinator, was also very responsive and easy to work with. I very much recommend CEO Beauty as a hair/makeup vendor!

Alena is so sweet and really made sure to work with me on my look!! It was such a fun and relaxing experience

Alena did my hair and makeup for my wedding day she was very friendly and welcoming. On the run up to the day she had great communication through emails as I am from the UK organising to meet her in New York. She did both mine and my mum make up exactly how we asked and made up both feel at ease. I also loved my hair it gave me lots of confidence for the day! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and welcoming bridal MUA and hairstylist.

Alena is the absolute best!! I could not have been happier with my choice to work with her for my wedding. She understood my vision from the moment we first spoke and at my trial. My hair was perfect all day on my wedding despite a windy and partially rainy day. All my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well! I highly recommend her. She is professional, kind and makes sure you feel special!

I feel SO lucky to have found Alena to do my hair for my wedding! She is so insanely talented and did an amazing job on myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. Alena was so wonderful to work with from day one where she did a trial on me and my mom, which turned out so good. Then she was very supportive and understanding as we had to navigate postponing our wedding several times. On my wedding day, she and her assistant showed up right on time (even a little early!) and quickly got set up. They moved so fast through the morning and finished up early, spent time on touchups and she was so sweet teaching my sister how to maneuver the veil. Our hair turned out STUNNING! I was literally blown away, I thought it couldn’t get any better following the trial but wow. She can recreate any pinterest style, and my updo lasted all night long. I would HIGHLY recommend you hire Alena for your wedding or event, she was literally the best.

Alena was a PLEASURE to work with, from start to finish! I saw a review from another bride who had used her in a FB group, and fell in love, and reached out. She was so sweet and personable, even through email, and quick to respond. I booked with her in 2018, and had to postpone twice, and through the postponements, she was so accommodating and kind. Booking a trial with her was quick and easy, and even though I elected to go to her studio in Jersey, she would have traveled to me for it had I wanted (for a fee of course). After, she asked for feedback, she was open to any criticism, and took notes on what I wanted changed. She is a true master of hair - I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it the first time. My hair has never looked better, and I knew I was in excellent hands for my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids and both of my mother-in-laws LOVED their hair, and she did it all herself; it didn't matter if she was doing an up-do, braid, half-up/down - it all came out stunning! She showed up on time on the day of the wedding at 7:15am, set up, and set to work, working straight through until 2pm, doing everyone's hair and then touch-ups. She even waited for me to do the first look with my dad and then put my veil in for me after (even though it was well past the time when she was scheduled to be done). She gave me a hair spray to keep for touch-ups throughout the night, and taught my mom how to take my veil out without causing any disruption to my hair. My cathedral length veil was heavy, and went up a mountain and down a long concrete aisle, and never once budged because she installed it so perfectly. I would recommend Alena to anyone, without hesitation!!! She is kind, patient, talented, and reasonably priced!!

How do I even begin to review how wonderful and talented Alena is?! First, she was very responsive and accommodating. She was also so friendly, but professional! I was so happy to have come across Alena as she is so gifted with both hair and makeup. She really knew what she was doing and made me look and feel like royalty, thanks to her hair and makeup skills. I would hire her again and would highly recommend her to others!

I was so lucky to have found Alena through my photographer. She is so accommodating and did an AMAZING job for my wedding (I even referred her to my friend that was getting married a couple months after me). She is just the sweetest person ever, she makes you feel at ease. Very professional, punctual, and is able to do both hair and make up extremely well, which I felt was hard to find in the price range I was looking for. She's also really good at braids, I didn't get one but my maid of honor got a Rapunzel long braid which was absolutely stunning. Bring a Pinterest picture to her and she'll actually be able to recreate it. Highly recommend!
