We Love Weddings Because…
Being a part of someone’s wedding day is an honor and also so much fun! We love what we do and have a passion for it that makes it so much more than a “job”. Enhancing our bride’s natural beauty is the best reward.
There is something so special about building a beautiful relationship with a client during multiple milestones in their lives, it’s truly a gift and so satisfying to experience. We feel a strong connection to each bride and it’s very exciting watching them start a family, buy a new house or even start a new career! We love our clients and become friends with many of them!
Our Wedding Style
Effortlessly chic. We specialize in a natural glam look with a boho vibe. We love lived-in effortless styles, braids, fresh skin, and keep up with modern trends.
Our Personality
Fun-loving, professional, relatable, and reliable.
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
I’ve always been an artist but in college, I fell in love with painting faces and never looked back. It’s my passion and I love seeking out fellow artists that share the same love of beauty. Not just as an art form but also to uplift someone and make them feel confident and the best version of themselves.
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
We specialize in a more natural glam look with a boho vibe. We love lived-in effortless styles, braids, fresh skin, and keeping up with modern trends.
We do lots of training. We are all seasoned artists and are constantly looking for inspiration and new things to stay fresh and updated on upcoming products and styles. We really do love what we do!

I wanted a simple, understated, effortless look that made me feel like me. I don’t wear a lot of makeup at baseline or do much to my hair, so I wanted a look that enhanced me rather than transformed me.
I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio at the recommendation of Marry Me Tampa Bay, The Fenway, and a friend whose wedding look I also really liked. I loved that they could accommodate all of my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and mother of the groom as well. They took my inspiration pictures from Pinterest and made them a reality.

I found inspiration on Pinterest and opted for a natural glam look. Femme Akoi Beauty Studio brought my vision to life beautifully, making me, my bridesmaids, and our mothers feel confident and stunning.
After a less-than-ideal first trial with another vendor, Femme Akoi Beauty Studio came highly recommended by friends, The Birchwood, and my planner. Aliyah’s artistry and attentiveness during my trial were unmatched, and the results on the big day were flawless.

The inspiration for my hair and makeup was natural glam. I specifically hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio because they specialize in that natural glam style.
From the trial to the wedding day, their service was amazing. They were professional, on time, and such a calming presence in the getting-ready space—which honestly makes a huge difference on a high-energy day.

For my beauty inspiration, I really just trusted Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, and they did an amazing job. I wanted a natural/rosy look for my makeup, and I wanted my hair down, but with something to elevate it a little bit. I showed a couple of makeup inspiration pictures, and the hair was sort of freestyled on the spot, and I loved both.
They did hair and makeup for eight of us, and we all had very different skin types, styles, and looks, and everyone walked away so happy, which I think is so impressive. I was also impressed because everyone told me hair and makeup usually takes longer than expected, but they stayed exactly on schedule for all eight of us.

My everyday hair/makeup is very simplistic. I wanted to feel like my everyday look was just slightly elevated. I wanted to have a girly makeup feel with a lighter colored lip and lots of highlighter! Femme Akoi Beauty Studio doesn’t make you fit into their look and style; they are amazing at accomplishing any look and feel someone wants to have on their own wedding day.
When I told the team my inspiration, they immediately partnered me with someone who could achieve this look effortlessly. They work hard on organizing exactly how to make sure everyone feels their best on their wedding day and that is why I chose them!
