Mind-blown

I came to Annika when I was feeling very defeated and at my wit’s end with beauty vendors for my July 7 wedding.

I had had the worst experience with hair and makeup vendors one person could have, having gone through about 4 of them, all for various reasons. By this point, I had paid over $400 in trials alone, which was most of my entire hair and makeup budget. After learning about my previous experiences, she was so gracious and offered a discount on all of her services, including the trial and a pamper session the night before the wedding.

Annika was nothing but a delight to deal with right from day 1. She had a questionnaire that she had me fill out with various information about my wedding and what I wanted, asking for pictures to help show her. She went above and beyond the entire time, doing things no other beautician would bother to do, finding solutions to problems, even taking time to do research. She even managed to find an instruction video on how to do the style I wanted from the creator of the style herself! Mind blown.

The expertise and talent she has for hair and makeup is absolutely mind-blowing. My hair and makeup didn’t quite cooperate for the trial, and she wanted to get feedback about how things held up after. I told her what happened, and she had so many solutions and ideas not just about how to make it even better, but how to make it work well and stay that way.

She was unable to do the pamper session the night before my wedding due to a stomach bug, but she offered a refund for that service and ensured she was there bright and early the morning of my wedding.

My hair and makeup were perfect the day of my wedding, and stayed that way through a lot of wind and a light sprinkle. I have never felt so beautiful and confident in my entire life than I did that day. The way she utilized the natural light to ensure everything was done perfectly, definitely showed that she knows her stuff and has the expertise needed to do what she does, the best way possible.

I recommend Annika wholeheartedly in a split second.

One of the most talented makeup artists out there!

Annika is amazing. She did an incredible job on my makeup and all the bridesmaids. She listens to what you want (or what you think you want) and brings your true vision to life. Her talent is versatile, so if you want a natural look or major glam, she can do it. She's also the sweetest person ever, so that makes her lovely to be around :)

Great experience with trial, hair, and makeup! Prompt, efficient, friendly!

I went and did a hair and makeup trial with Annika over Christmas break and she was extremely accommodating. Despite living in separate cities and having to coordinate everything over email and phone and text, she was always prompt to respond.

She did my makeup AND hair and both looked perfect. She catered to my specific requests for my monolid eyes, wanting to wear my glasses on the day of, me literally knowing 0 things about makeup or hair... and she did a great job! Honestly could not have asked for a better experience with Annika. She showed up on time, was super friendly and fast, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Hair & Make-up Review

Annika is absolutely amazing! A month or so before I was married I had a trial for my hair, something was happening in the salon so rather than cancel my appointment, she accepted me into her home and did her magic. That right there showed me how committed she was to anyone who booked with her. She treated me as though we were already great friends. Then wedding day came (Saturday, June 23rd, 2018) and Annika showed up with Savannah and they worked their magic on us girls (myself and 5 bridesmaids). We had such a good time with these girls, such a relaxing vibe and we all looked fantastic as heck.

Annika alway stayed on top of things (even if I forgot things til last minute). If I had a question, I would hear back the same day - usually within the hour. I HIGHLY recommend Annika as a fantastic hair and make up artist. If you’re still looking, check out this beautiful girl. She won’t let you down!
