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.
My inspiration for hair and makeup was to be classy, natural, and simple. I chose Femme Akoi Beauty Studio based on the good reviews and social media posts showcasing their work. The service was great, and I would highly recommend them!
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
I wanted to keep things simple and clean! I knew I didn’t want to wear a lot of makeup, so I kept it classic with the neutrals and light makeup. My hair was pulled back into a sleek low bun which is a look i love and still wear these days!
Hair and makeup inspiration was kind of classic Hollywood for hair and for makeup, I wanted something warm and glowy. We hired Femme Akoi because we had heard great things about them, and with eight bridesmaids, we needed a team big enough to help everything run smoothly. Femme Akoi did a great job! Grissel did my hair and makeup and was fantastic. All of the artists were really sweet, and the bridesmaids looked great!
My wedding day hair inspiration came from seeing other bridal looks on social media. I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio for various bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and many family members because I have worked with them before and know that they produce quality work.
I also loved that they traveled to the hotel, which was very convenient for our guests!
I don’t normally wear a ton of makeup, and I wanted a natural look that would last all night. I wanted my hair down since I didn’t have to worry about the weather in the Aquarium.
I found a really cute style on Instagram that I was able to show Monica, a stylist with Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, when I went in for my trial run.
Femme Akoi Beauty Studio did an amazing job working through everything with me. I did an initial consultation and the look did not turn out how I had envisioned it would in my head, so they allowed me to come back and second time and try again. The girls who did my second trial matched my personality; they understood what I was looking for, and they offered suggestions based on the type of hair I have, as well as my complexion. I appreciated their honesty because they are professionals, and they know best.
The day of everything turned out perfectly! I felt beautiful without feeling overdone, which my husband also appreciated!
At first, my hair inspiration was timeless, half up and half down with soft curls. I don’t wear much makeup, so I wanted to be very natural. However, a year before our wedding, I was a maid of honor for my best friend’s wedding in Florida. I tried out the look for her wedding, and the Florida humidity got the best of my hair, and I felt that my makeup was too natural when looking back at the pictures. That’s when I changed my mind to do an updo and do natural glam, but drama to the eyes!
When I did my trial with Lana at Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, she did an amazing job bringing my vision to life. I used inspiration for my hair and makeup from Femme Akoi’s Instagram from prior brides. My biggest advice when it comes to booking hair and makeup is to do your research.
The day of our wedding, Lana and Hollie were extremely thorough and thoughtful to my entire wedding party and myself. They spent a great amount of time with each one of us and made sure that our hair and makeup were to our satisfaction. I know that can be a very stressful part of a wedding day, but Lana and Hollie made it seamless! All of our hair and makeup made it through the Florida heat, and also the laughs and tears that were shed.
I got inspiration pictures from my dress designer’s Instagram. I wanted soft waves and soft glam. I actually had a poor experience with another company and decided to reach out to Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, and I am so glad I did!
I liked Femme Akoi because I could pick the artist from their page, which was a huge help! I went with Monica, and we had an amazing trial! She was so easy to speak with, and I felt very comfortable. I loved my makeup!
I wanted classic and simple but also bold. I followed Femme Akoi Beauty Studio on Instagram and saw the amazing job they had done. I wanted the hair and makeup to be perfect, but not too much. I wanted to dance and have a great time, so I wanted something to stay put and look great all night, and they did that!!
The team did a great job taking my ideas and bringing them to life. They were amazing and just did such a good job.
I wanted more ‘natural glam’ makeup and a romantic, curled updo hairstyle to showcase my dress.
Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing! Lana completed my trial and day-of services; she understood exactly what I wanted based on inspirational pictures and asked for my input the entire time. I also had 13 girls (myself included) who needed hair and makeup services on the day of the wedding. They did a great job scheduling everyone within our allotted prep time, and all of my ladies looked stunning!
