I think it took me so long to write this review, because that would officially mean my makeup love affair with Crystal Aleman was over. I met Crystal 5 months before my June wedding, after having multiple failed trials with other hair and makeu...p artists. I am extremely particular in the sense that I prefer a natural look, but also have certain insecurities (dark circles under my eyes) and find that many artists cannot balance between the two. After my hair and makeup trial with Crystal (yes she does both!), I was not only impressed with her ability to do EXACTLY what I wanted, but also in her warm and welcoming personality. Crystal is so much fun to be around and this was something that I knew would be important for me. I wanted someone who would not only deliver on the look, but also someone who I would want to be there on the day of my wedding. In the months leading up to my wedding, Crystal was helpful, attentive, and in communication with me to ensure all of my questions and concerns were met. In that time, Crystal also came to my apartment to do my hair and makeup for my bridal shower. On my wedding day, I decided to have Crystal only work with me and she was able to bring a wonderful team to work with my bridesmaids. Crystal stayed with me all day, which I would 100% recommend!! It was incredible having her with me to touch up anything I needed in-between photos and walking down the aisle. To be honest, Crystal not only became one of my most valued vendors, but also a friend! She is incredible. Look no further if you are looking for someone who can master any look, style, or preference. Since working with Crystal, two of my friends in my wedding party have hired her and multiple people have asked for her contact information. I cannot thank Crystal enough and I am currently trying to find an excuse to hire her again.
