We also have two unique studios for your convenience, an upscale Tampa location in Ybor and a cute trendy full-service salon in downtown Dunedin.
Our Wedding Style Is:
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 Is:
Fun-loving, professional, relatable, and reliable.
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business is:
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.
We Love Being a Part of the Wedding Industry 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!
What Makes Our Business Stand Out From Other Vendors Is:
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!
One Thing Most Couples Would Be Surprised to Know About Us Is:
Hmmm, I’m not that exciting I don’t think! Let’s see, I was a florist in high school and college! Married my high school sweetheart, and we did a TON of traveling before we had our 2 daughters.
One of Our Non-Wedding Passions Is:
Painting! I was an art major and got my bachelor of fine arts from UF.

Femme Akoi Reviews from Marry Me Tampa Bay Couples:
Marry Me Tampa Bay curates the below reviews from real couples whom we've personally interviewed. As Tampa Bay's most trusted wedding planning resource, these reviews are 100% accurate and aren't created by fake accounts.
Mauve and Blue Rooftop Wedding | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach
I really wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, but just slightly more glammed. Given that we were in a beach town, I wanted a loose bun and dewey makeup, and that's just what Monica of Femme Akoi Beauty Studio delivered! They all did an incredible job; my girls looked stunning!
Romantic Champagne Pink Spring Wedding | Tampa Garden Club
I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup and wanted to make sure my wedding look resembled how I normally look. I went with a natural makeup look and the Hollywood waves.
I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio since they specialized in both of those and were a preferred vendor with Marry Me Tampa Bay.
“Father of the Bride” Inspired Central Florida Private Estate Wedding
I wanted a soft glam look, and Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was beyond fabulous. Ana and Cassidy were so knowledgeable and made everything a blast! They are true artists!
Dusty Blue and Green Florida Destination Wedding | The West Events
I wanted natural glam and a loose low, messy bun. Maddie with Femme Akoi Beauty Studio nailed it! I loved it so much!
Boho, Neutral Lake Alfred Wedding | The Adams Estate
I went with a whimsical boho theme and wanted flowy, natural beach wave looks. I loved Femme Akois's hair service. I used a friend for my makeup and Femme Akoi for hair and makeup services for my bridesmaids
Elegant Tented Red and Gold St Pete Wedding | Sunken Gardens
I wanted a classic and natural look with a touch of glam.
Looking at Femme Akoi Beauty Studios‘ work, I saw many of their artists focus on accentuating natural beauty. I wanted to look like the best version of myself, and they did just that. They were accommodating to my entire wedding party, while some chose full glam, and the artists attended to that. Others wanting a subtle look got exactly what they needed as well. No one was unhappy with their hair or makeup, which made the day that much more easy.
