“How can I even begin to sum up Hazel and her work?! Hazel and I were truly brought together by fate. I was not even actively looking for a hair and makeup artist for my October wedding when fate brought us together at our favorite nail salon. Not to mention, Hazel was almost fully booked for October, and by the grace of God, she was available on my wedding date! From the moment I met Hazel, I knew she had such a special, light, and welcoming presence. On the morning of my wedding, I genuinely felt like I was getting ready with my best friend. I felt so pampered, comfortable, and surrounded by so much love, and Hazel and her team were such a huge part of making that morning so special. She brought the perfect energy to such an important day, and I am so grateful I got to spend those moments with her. AND let me tell you about the longevity of her work!! It poured rain on my wedding day, and despite all of that, my hair and makeup held up beautifully! I had the best wedding night and literally fell asleep in my hair and makeup. I woke up the next morning with my hair and makeup STILL FULLY INTACT!! A little frizzy, of course, but the style did not budge AT ALL. After a rainy wedding day AND a full night of sleep, I was genuinely so impressed!! All of this to say, choosing Hazel was without a doubt one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I am forever grateful that fate brought us together and that I got to spend my wedding morning with her and her amazing team. If you are considering booking Hazel, DO IT!! I truly could not recommend her enough!”

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

“I hired Alaina as my hair and makeup artist for my October 2025 wedding and I absolutely could not have found or asked for anyone better!! Her talent, patience, kindness, and professionalism exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend her enough. We did a H/MU trial a few months before the big day and I changed my mind on quite a few things I said I originally wanted. Alaina was so flexible and patient with me and had a lot of knowledge on how to make my vision come to life and she knocked it out of the park! Alaina and her assistant also did H/MU for my entire bridal party and all of my girls were so impressed with their work, one of my bridesmaids even said she loved her look more that day than she did at her own wedding and wished she had found Starlit sooner! Alaina’s presence really helped calm my nerves and made the morning so carefree, fun, and unforgettable. She is such a sweetheart and I can’t speak highly enough of her!”
