Larissa perfectly understood what we wanted, subtle and flattering. She did myself (bride) my maid of honor and my mother. She was quick, sweet, professional and the results were...
exactly what we wanted.
As the groom, my bride looked absolutely amazing on our wedding day! She never wears makeup or does her hair. Larissa made her look amazing and so herself but done up! Thank you La...
rissa! Definitely well worth it!
Our day couldn't have been more than perfect. We started with a foggy morning but, Larissa was there bright and early and made the sun come out. She was cool, calm and collected an...
d made me feel so at ease. My hair was so frizzy from the fog and Larissa tamed it down, curled it up and made me feel special. The airbrush makeup felt so nice on my face and my eyelashes lasted until the next day-I really did sleep with them on. She is so professional and I felt like I was walking on clouds all day. I got so many compliments and have recommended Larissa to a couple of my bridesmaids who will be getting married in the near future. Larissa will be my number one to call when there are other events and parties that I will attend. She is awesome.
What an amazing name for a hair and makeup artist. Larissa's talent to make our daughter "shine" as a bride was beyond what we expected. Our daughter is already beautiful but, Lari...
ssa had a way of illuminating her to radiant. Larissa is professional; sweet; knowledgeable and we were so happy with her services. She was already there when we arrived for the trial and really listened to every detail our daughter put forth. Larissa was also very early on the day of the wedding and all set up to transform us. We would highly suggest that you talk with her and have a trial run and book her services for your wedding. Our hair and makeup lasted well into the night and will last for years in the photos. Thank you Larissa. You are AMAZING.
My daughter got ready in Santana Row. She had a hard time swaying her options on who to choose for her hair and makeup. I was so happy with her decision. We had known Larissa and h...
er family for a long time and i had suggested her services. My daughter went in for a consult apt. My daughter isn't picky at all and never does her hair and makeup. So for her, this was a treat. On her wedding day Larissa came to the hotel to do my daughters hair and makeup and she looked amazing! Thank you larissa for doing such a great job!
Larissa did my hair and makeup for my wedding in January, I loved it! I wanted my hair to be down, long with curl/waves and full of volume and it turned out exactly how I wanted. S...
he even brings hair extensions with her, I didn't think I would have ever used them but I ended up adding them. I loved how well they blended and how much more volume my hair had! My makeup was great too. I love the airbrush machine thing she has. It was the most relaxed I felt all day just sitting there while she applied it. I was really sick on my wedding day so it felt great and made me look alive! I had her do a smokey eye and neutral lip, loved it! She was very nice and easy to be around I would definitely choose her again (except I'm only planning on getting married once!).
My God-daughter had her hair and makeup done by Larissa and I have to say, she was more than stunning. The great thing is that I got to have mine done also. I was very impressed wi...
th the service I received myself. I wasn't the bride (my God-daughter was) but, my hair and makeup lasted through the special night. I would be honored to have Larissa as my makeup and hair artist at any event. Holidays are coming up and we have another wedding to attend. I have recommended Larissa to my best friend's daughter and know that they will be sooooooooooo happy that I did. Thank you Larissa.
Larissa is amazing! Her prices are very reasonable and her service is unbeatable. I had a late morning wedding so I needed to be ready early. Larissa and her assistant arrived at t...
he hotel at 5:30 on the dot and got started with me at 5:45. They did a great job keeping on track schedule-wise and managed to get my bridal party, mom, and mom-in-law ready with time to spare (8 people total). Most importantly, they did a beautiful job with our hair and makeup. Larissa really listens to what you want for your big day and makes it happen. I literally was staring at myself in the mirror in awe. I can't thank her enough.
I found Larissa when I was searching online for a hairstylist. My husband and I were married in Livermore, but we were living in Michigan and I had limited time to meet with styli...
sts. I set up a meeting with Larissa, and was amazed at her sweet disposition and joy for her practice. I have difficult hair, and am always a bit apprehensive when meeting a new stylist. We got a long extremely well, and it was fun learning that we grew up in the same neighborhood, even went to the same High School! My mom loved her, and she even got along with my husband, who is always a bit shy when meeting new people. I can't remember exactly how much we paid, but she provided hair and makeup services for my mom, my aunt, my husband and me. Plus there was the consultation. I loved that she was able to do airbrush makeup as well so the photos have that flawless look.
On the day of Larissa arrived before I did and was already set up when I got there. She did an incredible job with my hair and makeup, I've never felt so beautiful! She also helped set in my veil so it wouldn't fall off (it was long and heavy).
I would recommend Larissa in a heartbeat to ANYONE. She is a gem!!! (If I was still living in CA I would go to her for all my hair needs.)
Larissa and her team are very professional and easygoing. They did the hair and makeup for my wedding this past June and I was very happy with how beautiful I looked, as well as m...
y bridesmaids. Larissa was so very sweet and open to all my suggestions and requirements. She even was OK changing our start time for the day of multiple times. Her team showed up early to set up and ready to go by 7am. She is VERY reasonably priced and her airbrush makeup is fabulous. Larissa and her team listen to everyone's ideas about how they wish to look and don't push any products on people to buy. She is very skilled and everyone felt like an elevated version of themselves -- the makeup wasn't too heavy and the hair not too "done up". Larissa and her team are very calm and efficient and the whole morning felt like a girls' party, making me feel very relaxed. I would recommend Larissa to any bride, as she is competent, skilled, does beautiful work and is very reasonably priced as everything with weddings seems to be just the opposite.
I recently had the pleasure of working with A Bride's Time To Shine. I am the groom's mother and as a gift to his bride, I arranged to have her hair and makeup done for her wedding...
day, along with her bridesmaids and maid of honor. The owner, Larissa, did an incredible job - she was very professional, cared about everyone's likes and dislikes, and the girls really enjoyed her enthusiasm. My new daughter-in-law and her attendants looked beautiful and they were all extremely happy with their hairdos and makeup. There were 5 girls in all and they were ready in plenty of time with no fuss or anxiety in getting ready. I would definitely recommend A Bride's Time to Shine to any bride or, as in this case, it was a great gift idea for the bride!
The Bride and I went for a trial run with Larissa. We were so impressed with her professional artistry. The Wedding Day was even better. Larissa was early and calm which made every...
one feel at ease. Our hair and makeup was amazing and even lasted until the next day. The artistry shows in the photos that will be with the couple for a lifetime.
I had Larissa do the hair for both myself, and my entire bridal party the day of the wedding. She did an amazing job! Everyone looked great, and my hair stayed in place all day!
...
She also put in extensions a few days before my wedding. She met with me and went over all the options and helped me decide which kind would be best for me.
I liked her work so much she is now my regular hair stylist for both color and cuts!
Larissa has such a professional disposition and quiet demeanor that helped my own nervousness disappear! She made sure our hair, make up and looks were perfect. I was able to relax...
because Larissa had everything under control and kept reassuring us everything was going to turn out great. She really listens to what you want. My bride maids' updoes were different from each others and fit their faces perfectly. Mine looked terrific and sophisticated yet natural at the same time, our make-up looked natural and radiant. If I had to do it all over again I would hire Larissa without hesitation and I highly recommend her services!
