Minimalist White and Green Downtown St. Pete Wedding | The Poynter Institute

I loved Femme Akoi Beauty Studio’s work from the start, and they made my bridal party and I feel so beautiful on the wedding day. We had a 1:00 p.m. ceremony start time, and Monica and Casey were so professional and efficient so that we were ready with plenty of time. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I all were so pleased with how our hair and makeup turned out and how it lasted all day.

I picked Femme Akoi Beauty Studio because I wanted each of my bridesmaids to have a different hairstyle that incorporated some sort of braid and curls.

I wanted my hair to be in a simple updo to showcase the illusion back and all the pearl and lace details on my wedding gown. Pinterest definitely helped!

I was a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding a few years ago, and she used Femme Akoi Beauty Studio. I was so impressed with their work! Grissel and Alex were a dream team! They are true artists! They made me feel comfortable and beautiful.

I wanted my makeup to look elegant and natural. I didn't want it to be overdone. I wanted to look like myself, just the best version of myself. I wanted to hire someone who could hide any imperfections and highlight my best features.

Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was recommended by Marry Me Tampa Bay. I did set up a trial run and was very happy with how my hair and makeup turned out.

I used Pinterest for my hair and makeup inspiration, but I also followed Femme Akoi Beauty Studio on Instagram for even more inspiration.

Femme Akoi first did my hair and makeup for our engagement shoot, and I absolutely loved what they did, so I decided to book them for my hair and makeup for our wedding. All of the artists are so talented and were highly accommodating, even for a picky bride like me, as they did the most flawless job on my wedding day hair and makeup. My hair stayed up the entire night and my makeup stayed on through all the tears.

Romantic Dusty Rose and Mauve Downtown St. Pete Wedding | The Birchwood

I was going for an “Old Hollywood” look, with long hair and wavy curls and light but elegant makeup. I wanted to be playful and glamorous, not serious.

I choose Femme Akoi Beauty Studio and specifically, Maggie, because she really nailed the look I was going for. I did two trials and really felt that she was a great fit. Femme Akoi made the contract process easy. I was easily able to make adjustments as I had two bridesmaids who could not come due to COVID.

I changed my wedding hair the day of the wedding, but I wanted a natural look, and I wanted something different from my naturally curly hair.

I wanted something that would make my husband say WOW, which he did! Monica from Femme Akoi Beauty Studio worked her magic.

I wanted to go for natural beauty.

Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was a studio at the top of my list that checked all the boxes I was looking for. Their prices were within my desired range, and the photos of weddings they had done in the past looked like what I wanted for my own.

I wanted my bridal hair and makeup to be natural, and I wanted to feel like myself on my wedding day. I kept it very simple because I wanted to look like “me.”

I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio based on recommendations from friends who have used them in the past. We had three lovely ladies who not only dolled us up but also hyped us up as we all got ready together.

Pink and Green Romantic Downtown St. Pete Wedding | The Birchwood

I wanted a natural makeup look with a messy updo. Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was initially recommended by a friend when I first got engaged, so I started following them on Instagram and saw how consistently beautiful their work was.

I knew I wanted to go with them after I started using their photo for “inspo” pics instead of Pinterest.

I wanted a romantic glam look but wanted to look like me. My dress was so detailed that it was important that my makeup and hair didn't take away from it. Femme Akoi Beauty Studio was fantastic!
