On the day of the trial I thought she would come to me, but that was not the case (oh no!). I was able to make it to her studio in time to still have my appointment which did not feel rushed at all despite me being late. She is knowledgeable about skin health and gave me great tips on making my skin look as healthy as possible for the wedding day. I do not usually wear makeup and loved the finished product. My husband on the other hand looked at me like I was a total stranger! The morning of the ceremony (which was VERY early in the morning) I asked her to lighten up the look so my husband could recognize me. She did a great job adjusting to my request. I also wanted to make a little change to the hairstyle we had tried, which Marina was able to do perfectly. My husband wanted to have a stress free time getting ready, so she did his hair too! I also had Marina wax the winter coat I was wearing on my legs. Let me tell you, my legs had never been that smooth! Marina is a fantastic esthetician, definitely consider her services for your events or beauty needs!

My daughters all had their senior pictures taken at Carole Meyer Photography. One of the…read morerecommendations was to consider using her contracted hair & makeup artist, Kim King as to help ensure that the pictures would be absolutely perfect. Initially, I thought... "Seriously?" being a single Mom at the time of my first daughter's picture, I didn't have a lot of extra money but I went ahead and paid for it. When I got the gallery, I realized that it was worth every, single, penny. Kim King is truly an artist. She uses makeup to enhance their natural beauty without over-doing it. I have 3 daughters and I've told everybody I know about Kim King. If you're looking for a senior pictures, wedding, or even portraits, hire Kim King... she's AMAZING!

Kim worked with inspiration, care, and talent as she "put me together". I felt so beautiful when she was finished. She made me feel like a queen. She treats her makeup work as an artist would treat a painting. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like to be "done up" for a special occassion. I wish I could take her home with me to do my hair and makeup every day. :) Thank you, Kim! You're amazing.

Hiring Shawna for my June 2024 wedding hair and make-up was one of the best wedding planning…read moredecisions I made! Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

Not only does she listen intently to exactly what I want, but she also gives me pointers on ways to change up my 'do for different events. I can't tell you how much that personal touch really means to me. I usually know exactly what I want before I sit in the chair (I am picky!), and it drives me crazy when it doesn't come out the way I envision it. Alaina has never failed to impress me, and go above and beyond what I envisioned and make my hair truly a masterpiece. I was shocked at how reasonable her prices are for the quality of the cut, color and style I get! If you're looking for GREAT hair that isn't going to break the bank, take my word for it and go to Hair by Alaina; you will not be disappointed!

I was able to get in for a trial about 3 weeks out from my wedding and I loved it! I ended up doing one more hair trial 2 days before my wedding because I wanted Hollywood-type waves and we didn't do that for the first trial so the fact that they were able to do that for me meant so much to me. I was so nervous and stressed out and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders once I had the trial. They showed up early to get set up the day of the wedding and even accommodated my request the day before asking if we could start earlier in the day because I felt nervous about not having enough time to get from the hotel to the venue. I loved my hair and makeup and they did an amazing job on the four others in my bridal party! I loved the individual false lashes they used, it all looked amazing and the pictures turned out beautifully, thank you!
