I am a happy bride and here's why:
I used Anaala for my wedding weekend and was very pleased. I did a trial hair appointment and makeup consultation months prior to my July 28th wedding day and then for the wedding weekend, I scheduled a blowout for the rehearsal dinner and an up-do and makeup session for the wedding day.
Hair
Kara and I met a few months before the wedding for a practice session and she was very patient as we played with various styles and decided on a low bun with braids, above. She was well-versed in many wedding styles and was confident and calm during our session. On the wedding day, she aimed for absolute perfection--she had a quiet confidence that put me at ease and was super focused even when my MOH and friend were helping me with a seating issue while I was in the chair. Kara went the extra mile! She took photos of our trial hairdo and saved them for reference. She discovered before the wedding that she couldn't find her favorite hair pins in a color that would match my hair tone. She bought the pins and took them home with her to spray paint them (!!!) a matching color to my hair prior to our session. I could not believe the level of dedication she had to the craft and to providing me with an absolutely beautiful hairstyle.
Makeup
Michelle did a fabulous job with my wedding day makeup. She met with me a few months prior to do a consultation and immediately put me at ease. She was a real professional and I could tell that she was highly experienced the moment I sat down in the makeup chair. On the day-of, Michelle brought in fake eyelashes from her own collection and went the extra step of cutting them down to size because they appeared too long on my lashes. I was so happy with the look she created and the photos turned out great.
I would highly recommend Anaala to friends and family and the Yelp community.
