Femme Akoi Wedding Reviews

I looked for makeup artists who could enhance my look in a natural way. I wanted hairstylists who were creative but also open to ideas and suggestions.

My event planner referred me to Femme Akoi Beauty Studio. I was very happy with their service. I had 11 bridesmaids, the mother of the groom, the mother of the bride, and myself all get our hair and makeup done. Even with a large number of people, they did such a great job in a timely manner. They even finished ahead of schedule.

I wanted to match hair and makeup to the dress that I chose which was very simple but still elegant. I went with a relatively natural look.

I found Femme Akoi Beauty Studio through Marry Me Tampa Bay. The girls were wonderful to work with! Ayla specifically helped create the look that I was going for and was so fun to hang out with on the wedding day.

I wanted full glam on a budget. I had a previous makeup artist contracted. It was an awful experience so I had to switch a week before my wedding because it was too much of a risk.

Femme Akoi was my top two choice; I did not go with them originally only because my previous one was a little cheaper for my bridesmaids. My coordinator reached out to them for me and was able to book three stylists a week in advance!

Femme Akoi was so professional, experienced, and did a great job with hair and makeup!

Timeless Champagne Tampa Wedding | The CURRENT

I was inspired by Jessica Alba! I love her, and she often has her hair down with soft curls and pulled half back on one side. I also didn't want any bobby pins in my hair as I often end up taking them out mid-way through the night, so I thought soft elegant curls with one side pulled back and a barrette would be perfect and go with my dress

When I went for my consultation, I felt very calm and at ease. I felt like the artists at Femme Akoi Beauty Studio listened to my needs and wants, and they executed them perfectly. Their customer service was impeccable and their overall communication (via email, phone, text) was prompt and professional. I felt like I was in great hands.

I wanted natural beauty but also for it to look like I had put some extra effort in on the day. I wanted to look elegant and bridal but also wanted my husband to recognize me.

I had gotten my hair and makeup done with Femme Akoi Beauty Studio before so I trusted them. They were able to nail my vision with just a couple of inspiration photos and their work was better than I had imagined! I felt the best I had ever felt on my wedding day.

I wanted someone who could do bold but natural hair and makeup!

My wedding planner had done a styled shoot with Femme Akoi Beauty Studio and all the girls had amazing fun braids and just looked so boho-chic with natural glowing makeup but killer lips, so I was like, yes, I need this! My stylist knocked my trial out of the park!

My wedding beauty inspiration came from hair and makeup pictures on Pinterest that were glowing, elegant, and glamorous, but still natural enough to feel comfortable and look like myself on the big day.

I chose Femme Akoi Beauty Studio because of their professionalism and talent. I felt like they truly listened and understood my personal style and preferences the best. My day of hair and makeup was even better than my trial! They did an excellent job; both my hair and makeup looked phenomenal throughout the day and night. I highly recommend them!

I looked for someone who could do both hair and makeup, and who could travel to me since I was going to be getting ready at home with my mom and sister. I also wanted someone who could give me a natural beachy look, nothing too glam.

Emily and Melanie recommended Femme Akoi to me and I was very happy with them. I went to my trial and hit it off with my stylist right away. She nailed my look on the first try and was so nice and personable.

I wanted my hair and makeup to look natural.

I hired Femme Akoi Beauty Studio because they came highly recommended, and I had a great experience with Indira. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, and she was very thoughtful in helping me to find a style that looked bridal but still felt like me.

I wanted something that wasn't too different from my everyday look, just a little more dramatic. I wanted a good matte bronze look, and I think Femme Akoi Beauty Studio really did great with that! They were recommended to me by another hair and makeup company and I think they did great on not just me, but my bridesmaids, daughter and my mom!

I wanted simple hair and make-up to ensure the emphasis was on my dress. I know my dress has a low back, so I always knew I wanted an updo to show off that element.

Femme Akoi The Studio has a perfect Instagram showing their services. I loved how easy it was to get a trial, their prices were competitive, and they had a huge portfolio of artists.
