Key West Hair and Makeup Artistry

Elena was sweet, kind and easy to communicate with (even 2 short weeks before I needed her)! Her team arrived and kept on schedule throughout the day. Makeup was catered to each person in the party - she considered their skin type, usual routine and goals before starting on each... Read More girl. She let me (the bride) check periodically and tweak until it was exactly as I had envisioned. Our hair was soft, touchable & romantic, and actually stayed that way all night long! I was amazed that each of our pinterest inspo pictures actually turned out so well.. trust that Elena and her team will be able to make you beautiful.

Elena and the other makeup artist she brought to help were amazing! I had two girls have their hair done by her and they were VERY happy with how it turned out! I let my girls choose whatever makeup look they wanted and they were all SO HAPPY with how they looked. As for me, she... Read More did EXACTLY what I had envisioned!! I didn't want a "natural" look at all and she gave me the full glam look I had in my head. So many of my guests commented on how amazing my makeup looked even toward the end of the night. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and if I ever need event makeup again I would absolutely book her! Thank you again Elena XOXO!!

Elena and the rest of the team at Key West Hair & Makeup Artistry were absolutely wonderful to work with for the hair and makeup for our wedding.

I would recommend Key West Hair & Makeup Artistry a thousand times over to any bride!!

Elena definitely deserves 5 stars, she was amazing in every way! I was in a last minute pinch (about a month before my wedding) because my makeup artist had to cancel on me and being a bride from out of town I had to rely on WW to find someone in a hurry. Elena was the first... Read More person I reached out to who responded and she really took the time via email correspondence to get to know my style and what I was look I was going for. She asked me to email her pictures of myself and the look I wanted to achieve and throughout the process really made me feel comfortable with my choice to book her. We did a trial just days before the wedding and she really took the time and effort to listen to my suggestions and also added a few of her own until we achieved the perfect look. I felt confident going into my wedding day that my makeup was going to be amazing, and it was. Thank you so much Elena, I couldn't have asked for a better artist and a more wonderful person!

Elena was very professional and easy to work with. She always returned my emails and phone calls promptly, and she showed up to my event on time. Best of all, she did a fabulous job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! The makeup she applied looked glamorous, yet natural....

I had a great time working with Elena I needed someone for hair and makeup for a wedding reception very last minute. I'd just moved to the area and with so many things going on, I'd forgotten that I needed someone to do that for me! (In my defense, this was a South Asian wedding... Read More so there were lots of events - this was the last of them.) Elena was extremely responsive and was able to fit me into her schedule (and had no problem accommodating when I needed to change the time a bit). Being that I'd just moved, I had very little furniture in my house, but Elena worked around that. Everyone said they loved the makeup and it stayed on throughout a hot, humid (with sporadic thunderstorms) sort of day at a mostly outdoor venue. She's not cheap, but I would say reasonable.

Elena Southcott was my hair and make up stylist for my wedding day and again for a 2nd wedding reception. 1st I would like to say that Elena is extremely easy going, professional and a perfectionist. During my trial she was completely open to my input but was great at using her... Read More own creativity to create the perfect look. My wedding was on the beach in Key West and Elena took her time to make sure each strand of hair was perfectly placed and that my make up was thoroughly applied. I don’t wear much makeup so I wanted a rather natural look that would show great in pictures and last. I got so many compliments on both my hair and makeup and could not be more pleased. I would recommend her services 100x over, she is great to work with and is amazing at what she does.

I absolutely loved my makeup! I had the airbrush makeup done by Elena, which was amazing! She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, which looked so beautiful and lasted all day! I definitely recommend the airbrush makeup application. The look was natural and flawless. I... Read More couldn't have asked for anything more... thanks Elena!

I contacted Elena with about 24 hours notice to do my hair and make-up for my engagement photos, and I am so glad that I found her! Not only was she professional and likeable, but also very talented! My hair stayed curled throughout an outdoor and windy photo session and my... Read More make-up enhanced my best features. I'd highly recommend Elena to anyone in the Key West area looking for hair and/or make-up for a special event.

Elena is an artist & wonderful to work with! Her staff did my mother, sister and MOH as well. Everyone looked stunning. The makeup held through the brunch wedding and to the end of the evening on our first night of the honeymoon (so essentially from 6am to midnight)! She...
