Was super excited to see it in January 2026 issue while waiting in Dr's office! I was looking through pages and saw a familiar style - boom, it's one done by me (Alina Karaman), so unexpected and exciting!
Thank you @jayneheir for submitting this amazing #realwedding ❤️

It was an honor to stay after the hair and makeup services were completed, for #photoshoot touch-ups. We went to National Portrait Gallery with the whole party, what a great experience

Happy #weddingday to Brynn!

It's so beautiful to see the sparkle in a bride's eyes when her makeup and hairstyle don't distract, but softly complement her look, when everything comes together - her inner state and her outer appearance, and in that moment she looks at herself and truly feels beautiful, confident, and real✨

More #naturalmakeup looks, bride Irem and a bridesmaid. The hair - no extensions here!

We create the timeless natural look that will be relevant for many years after

Our beautiful bride Jennifer 😍

Please check the last photo to see her trial. It’s not rare when the bride completely changes her mind about the style she is going for, and we are ready 😎 Some choose to see us for the trial again, some just go for it, and we are supporting both scenarios 👍🏻

The hairstyle created using #hairextensions that you are able to rent from us rather than investing hundreds of dollars into something you most likely won’t ever use again 😅

When the outfits carries all of that visibly,
you don’t need to explain the value.
The work speaks.

Bringing craft into the mix in the most unique way- the pieces that stay true to their value and stands out each time in the crowd.

A bridal look is always so much more than just makeup and hair. It's a mood, a feeling, emotions, and a moment that will stay in memory forever ✨
It's so beautiful to see a bride glowing and truly happy.

Happy #weddingday to Emily!
#naturalmakeup and a very special curling, that Emily wanted to create - was possible with using 3 different hot tools and 5 different curling techniques. What’s looks like a natural curl, is not, and took an extra time. The hardest looks are the ones that look very natural as we want to keep the look fresh and effortless
