Gorgeous makeup that didn’t budge all day
Alina is an effective communicator who made scheduling easy. Antonina did my wedding makeup, and she knocked it out of the park! My makeup looked as good at midnight as it did at noon. Sweatproof, waterproof–so I’ve even purchased the eyeliner she had used. Plus, Antonina's calming presence helped me feel relaxed on my wedding morning. I highly recommend doing a trial. The trial allowed Antonina and I to figure out all the details like my preferred blush color and placement, how many lashes looked best, etc., so on the big day, I could simply relax and feel pampered.
Alina Karaman•Jun 15, 2026Victoria, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was a pleasure working with you and helping coordinate all the details leading up to your wedding day. I'm so happy to hear that Antonina exceeded your expectations and that your makeup looked just as beautiful at the end of the night as it did when it was first applied! I'm glad Antonina helped make your wedding morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. I know she will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Thank you for trusting us with such a special occasion. We wish you all the happiness in this exciting new chapter!

Highly recommend!
Alina was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From our very first interaction, Alina was prompt, professional, and understanding. She was so accommodating and kind throughout the entire process, helping me create the look of my dreams. The quality of Alina's work is nothing short of excellent - her creativity and attention to detail resulted in a timeless, yet modern look that I absolutely loved. She did my hair and makeup and it lasted for hours and hours and I still looked good by the end of the night. I highly recommend Alina, she's definitely worth the money!
Alina Karaman•Jan 26, 2026Rebekah, thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to me that you felt supported throughout the entire process and that your hair and makeup held up beautifully all day and night. Creating a look that feels both timeless and true to you is always my goal, and I’m so happy to hear you loved the final result. Thank you for trusting me on such a special day and for taking the time to share your experience — I’m incredibly grateful for your recommendation!

Amazing Hair & Makeup
Alina and her team were amazing to work with! I absolutely loved what she did with my hair and makeup, and I got so many compliments! She and her team really know their stuff, are highly professional and prompt, and are so efficient (I really appreciated that I could get a little extra sleep the morning of the wedding!). Alina was also really easy to communicate with ahead of time and easy to work with - highly recommend!
Alina Karaman•Jan 8, 2026Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us. I’m so happy you loved your hair and makeup—and even happier to hear you felt relaxed and well taken care of on such an important day. Extra sleep on a wedding morning is always a win 🙂 It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m grateful you trusted my team and me. Wishing you so much happiness, and thank you again for the recommendation!

Amazing experience from start to finish
My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted through a very sweaty DC day (and lots of happy tears). My two ladies also looked lovely (simple styles, no makeup). Alina was very responsive and informative in all of her communication, and the experience was great. I felt beautiful and all of my photos look fabulous, in no small part to how Alina brought to life my makeup and hair dreams.
Alina Karaman•Nov 17, 2025Katie, thank you so much for your beautiful review! I’m thrilled to hear that your hair and makeup held up perfectly through the heat, the happy tears, and all the special moments of your day. It was such a pleasure getting you ready, and I’m so glad your ladies felt lovely as well. Your kind words truly mean a lot. I’m grateful you trusted me to bring your vision to life, and I’m so happy you felt beautiful and confident—your photos are stunning! Wishing you endless happiness in this new chapter. 💕

Hair and Makeup by Alina
We had a wonderful experience using Alina and her team for our wedding hair/makeup. I had a few trials with Alina to narrow down the style I was looking for, and she was always on-time, responsive, and organized. She is also able to be creative while also listening to your requests. On the wedding day, everyone looked gorgeous and Alina and her assistant were prompt and worked quickly. I definitely recommend her and her team, especially if you value organization and responsiveness!
Alina Karaman•Jan 15, 2025Ana, thank you for kind words and a great review, I'm happy we were able to understand your vision and make it come true!
