Crowned

I booked Crowned for an out-of-town wedding outside of Los Angeles after months of searching for the right hair and makeup team. I wanted a natural, elegant bridal look and Tara more than exceeded my expectations. I have never felt more beautiful after just the bridal trial and on the day of wedding, I was completely blown away. Tara and her team, Rachel, Harley, and Alyssa were wonderful to work with, they are punctual, professional, talented, and so much fun. I could not have asked for a better experience on the morning of my wedding! I had a group of 8 people total ranging from a junior bridesmaid to both my mom and mother-in-law, everyone looked stunning and loved their results! The team was very timely and worked amazingly with the schedules of my other vendors, and they were even able to accommodate a last-minute addition for hair and makeup. If you are searching for perfection, this group is it!

Tara from Crowned was great! I'm immunosuppressed and needed to avoid Covid exposure as much as I can, but I also didn't want to miss out on the "wedding experience." Tara worked with me and made accommodations (including masking and Covid-testing) to ensure that I felt comfortable and that everything was sanitary and safe. She was the only vendor I spoke with who was transparent and detailed about their sanitizing process, and I greatly appreciate how she took the time to explain the processes to me and that she does indeed sanitize thoroughly between clients. She was also very nice and patient, and she didn't get offended when I wanted to do part of my makeup myself. For instance, there's a way that I like my eyeliner done so I wanted to do it, and she was very nice about that. She was also fine with using my foundation instead of hers because I was worried about color matching and my skin reacting poorly to the makeup. She was very patient with me and never made me feel weird or self-conscious about my Covid worries or my persnickety-ness. I do recommend doing the trial. For me, I told Tara one thing when, in actuality, I wanted another thing and I was simply communicating incorrectly about it. For example, I told her that I wanted curls in my hair. But I only realized after the trial that what I wanted was the kind of 1920s/1940s soft waves in my hair. The trial is a great time to iron out communication issues and to “learn the lingo” necessary to express what you want on your big day. My wedding makeup lasted all day (apart from the lipstick, but I ate food, so that's understandable), looked good, and my hair held up well all day in the summer heat and humidity. All of that is due to Tara's talent. Overall, I felt like Tara went above and beyond, and I feel like she is a kind human being.

Tara was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped make the wedding planning process simple and stress free. She did my hair and the hair of my four bridesmaids. Each one turned out beautiful. Tara was professional the whole time.

Alyssa was so wonderful! So happy that I had the chance to work with her. She did my hair beautifully!
