What We Love About Femme Akoi Beauty Studio
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!
Artist at heart. Mom to 2 wild ladies. Been in the beauty biz for 20 years! About to turn the big 4-0 ???? big supporter of local small businesses, especially women-owned. Girls rule!
One thing most couples would be surprised to know 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.
Non-wedding Passions:
Painting! I was an art major and got my bachelor of fine arts from UF.

My wedding day beauty inspo was a natural feeling of Old Hollywood.
I worked with Femme Akoi Beauty Studio several times as a bridesmaid, so I knew I could trust them when it came time for my big day. My hair and makeup artist was Ana Grace, and I could not be more grateful for her. She made me feel so beautiful.

I’ve never been a big makeup person. I tend to wear very light makeup, so for my wedding day, I wanted to keep it simple. I wanted a natural, but also elegant look and Monica from Femme Akoi Beauty Studio and their team did just that! She was amazing to work with. They made sure everything was done perfectly and timely.

We wanted classic, simple, and natural for hair and makeup. Something that highlighted our natural features without making us look too different from our everyday selves.
Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was recommended to us by many people, and we knew they had a great rapport with the Tampa wedding industry. Their communication and planning process was very smooth, and I was able to have multiple trials until I loved my bridal hairdo. They were patient and understanding throughout. On the big day, they were prompt and excellent at staying on schedule. All of the bridal party was pleased with how their hair and makeup turned out. As the bride, I was blown away by my look and how lovely it came through in pictures!

My wedding day hair and makeup were inspired by the soft glam Hailey Bieber did on her wedding day.
I hired Ana Grace from Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, and I fell in love with her work. She did my trial perfectly, and then she matched it exactly how I wanted on my wedding day. She was also my hype woman that day and kept me calm while doing my makeup. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studioi for my bridal party hair and makeup because I wanted an all-inclusive company that could provide both hair and makeup services; I didn’t want to source different vendors for each. I thought they did a great job! My girls were all pleased with how they looked.
