Ilona was amazing from beginning to end. She was able to accommodate me rather quickly and was extremely communicative. We looked at pictures of my outfit and chatted about my event so she could find the makeup look to best suit me. On the day of, she arrived right on time and took her time, letting me check my look as we went. She’s extremely professional, friendly, and talented. I’d definitely book her again!

The absolute best. I took two self make up lessons as a beginner for almost two hours each and feel though it well worth the investment. It saved time and money in the long run because I was able to determine what products I really needed ahead of time through Ilona’s expert guidance. She is kind, patient, and sweet making her lessons something to look forward to. Whether you’re looking to take lessons or book other makeup service, Ilona is the experienced professional you should hire.

Details: Beginner • Both hair and makeup • Fashion makeup • I travel to the makeup artistry instructor

This review is long overdue. I had her come do my hair and makeup almost a year ago for my friends wedding and she did such an amazing job. I loved the entire look. She was also very nice and listens to what you are looking for. I would definitely hire her again.
