Amazing experience and results

✨ Radiance Package [Hair & Makeup by Aina] for my Wedding ✨

Afro hair | Natural, soft glam preference

Short version?
Aina sorted me right out! From the first phone call to stepping into that limo on my Wedding day, she filled me with confidence. I looked and felt amazing—better than I even imagined. Look no further. She’s the one!

Long version?
From our very first call, Aina put me at ease. She’s calm, confident, easy to talk to, and has the kind of energy you just want around you on your big day. I was concerned about whether my afro hair could achieve the style I wanted, but she reassured me not to stress and suggested I pick a few favourites (I used Pinterest)—and she was absolutely right.

My trial look had me excited, but the wedding day look? Next level. I added real hair clips for extra length and volume, and WOW—Aina worked her magic! And the makeup? Flawless. Soft, natural, and exactly what I wanted. I still felt like myself. It lasted beautifully all day—even through happy tears! I didn’t need a single touch-up. I genuinely felt radiant. I felt like I had no bad angles. I was truly feeling myself, and my mum and bridesmaids, who were with me while getting ready, were absolutely loving it too! They all agreed: Aina was a brilliant choice.

Aina also styled a beautiful, neat donut bun for my daughter, who quickly felt comfortable and happy in Aina’s hands. That meant so much to me.

It’s also important to know that Aina arrived promptly and kept everything running smoothly, which really helped me stay calm and enjoy the morning. She checked in about allergies, and the products she used felt light and comfortable on my skin—no irritation at all, and everything smelled lovely too! Communication throughout the whole build-up process was easy and reassuring. Aina was always approachable and responsive, which made planning feel that much smoother.

Thank you so much, Aina, for looking after us so beautifully. Words cannot explain how happy I was. Your work didn’t just make me look amazing—it made me feel amazing. Your talent and energy added so much positivity to my wedding experience. I’ll always be grateful.

Exceptional service, very happy bride!

As a bride who doesn't wear makeup daily, Aina worked with me to create a bespoke soft glam look with a pop of colour. Aina made the whole experience fun and effortless, I had so much fun at the hair and makeup trial, trying different hair and makeup looks. On the day Aina was punctual, brought such good vibes and energy and even helped me into my dress! I can't recommend her enough, reliable, professional, expert in her field, accommodating and personable. Aina was booked for bridal hair and makeup.

Excellent stylist and MUA for Afro Queens

Aina was amazing from start to finish. The trial helped solidify my vision and Aina was very flexible with things I wanted to tweak after the trial. On the wedding day, she was a supportive calming presence and did a phenomenal job. So happy!
