Larissa Lake Makeup Artist

in the future.

ay was perfect. Between those two dates, my initial hairstylist had left the company, The owner of the salon, Larissa, came in her place, and did such a phenomenal job recreating the trial look with the slight changes that I wanted to make! Ashlyn did a phenomenal job with my makeup, and totally got my vision of not wanting to look too "done up", but still look elegant. When my eyelash extensions were a little uncomfortable, she worked with me until they felt perfect. She even talked me off a ledge while I was having a little pre-wedding freak out! Both Larissa and Ashlyn were so sweet and everyone in the bridal party looked incredible! It's definitely a budget splurge, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!

d fun, and took away a lot of the wedding day jitters with hair/makeup being stress free. Thank you so much Emilee, Marissa and the Larissa Lake team!

or hair products, everyone loved how they turned out the day of! They can make any vision a reality, and are so fun to hang with on the morning of your wedding! Highly recommend!!

d immediately connected during my trial. She not only understood the vision I had for my bridal hair but made it come to life in the form a gorgeous boho half up/half down 'do! I, along with my wedding guests, were swooning over the creation! Sarah did an outstanding job on my makeup and successfully carried out the "natural glam" look I was going for as a bride.  All the Larissa girls are so friendly, talented and personable. I can't recommend using LL&Co enough for all your wedding-day beauty needs!

ids, who has been in many weddings, said it was the first time she didn't feel like she had to redo her hair and makeup for a wedding. Crystal tweaked my hair towards the end to get it just to my liking, which I greatly appreciated. They had also done my bridal shower glam as my trial, and did an amazing job, choosing to come into work on a Sunday morning to do so. I would recommend these two to anyone getting married in the area.

my bridesmaids look incredible.

They are so crazy talented that you don’t need to worry! Thank you for making wedding planning easier, and of course for making my bridal party and myself look like superstars for my big day! You rock!

all day and night. He did an amazing job on my 5 year old niece / flower girl. She had trouble sitting still and he made her entire experience so much fun. Stevie did our makeup and was absolutely amazing. Everyone looked flawless and the makeup looked perfect all day and night. We received so many compliments on our hair and makeup. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect team!

e work these 2 did to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day- so I stuck to my stars rating based on overall experience Overall, Larissa lake’s stylists did a wonderful job on my wedding day. I had 8 bridesmaids and 2 mothers that had services done as well. All of the stylists were very nice and friendly. There were a couple things that prevented me from scoring 5 stars. One is that my 6 year old niece who was a flower girl- was upcharged as a junior bridesmaids without my knowledge- none of the stylists had even asked me about it- I’ve been told I will be getting s refund for this- but that was over 2 weeks ago and I haven’t received it. Another is the fact that I had so many girls, and had to pay quite a bit for them to send an extra stylist so that we didn’t have to start 10 hours before my ceremony. We also got behind in schedule because many girls needed touch ups on their hair- and one of my girls had to have hers completely redone because it fell out so fast. Another turn off was that when they were calculating tips (which they charge an automatic 20% ) they needed everything down to the PENNIES. This seemed outrageous for how much we were already paying - and left many of my girls frustrated. I ended up covering the remaining balance since many of my girls didn’t expect to pay so much the day of. As incredible as we all looked, I wish I had really looked into their details before booking them. $385 for the bride, $100 for hair trial, $100 for makeup trial, tips, $240 for traveling 25 minutes!, covering balance equaled to well over $1000 for me to dish out.

d loved their looks as well. Special thanks to Crystal and Kelly!!

dreamed of. I could not have asked for a better beauty team. They were so flexible and fun to work with. The morning of my wedding went smoothly and effortlessly with the help of these ladies.

uldn't look and feel my best and i had NO comments, feedback or concerns on ANY ELEMENT of my final look. I looked in the mirror and simply said, "yes". While it might not seem like the most important element of your day, feeling your best thanks to the way you look is invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

static with how incredible everyone's makeup turned out!!! I love love loveeee Sarah G, she was the perfect personality for our group of ladies on the wedding day. Everyone was relaxed, she was helpful with everyone's styles, and the makeup looked phenomenal. You won't be disappointed!

l! Kristyn made my hair look exactly like the photos I showed her and the curls held all day! My entire bridal party loved how their services came out as well! They were very responsive, prompt and an absolute pleasure to work with!

dislikes and then creating the perfect look for me. Kelly's makeup had me feeling like the most beautiful version of myself I could have all day long. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup and wanted a balance of feeling like myself still, but also embracing a day of going a little more glamorous than I typically would- and Kelly absolutely nailed it. On top of this, both women were friendly, easy to talk to, professional, and kind. They made my bridesmaids look and feel amazing as well. One of my bridesmaids was pretty sick day of the wedding and made the point to tell me how awesome the two of them made her not only look, but feel. These two are amazing!

with. I will continue to see them for all my hair needs post wedding. You won’t be disappointed when booking the Larissa Lake team!!

utiful. At the trial Larissa worked with me to ensure that my day-of look was everything I wanted and that I looked elegant and beautiful, but not overly made-up or fake. The day of the wedding, she did an amazing job and my make-up and hair were flawless throughout the night. She was also really fun and talkative, which helped alleviate last-minute jitters. Judy and Lauren were also very talented and fun, and every one of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous. However, I could only give 4 stars because the administrative side is highly disorganized. I put down a deposit, but we made some changes in the weeks leading up to the wedding (added an artist, added some services) and the remainder had to be paid the day of the wedding - I had 10 women getting hair and make-up done, so it was a large bill. I contacted the salon about a dozen times in the lead-up to the wedding to try to get a final quote so I could pay them the correct amount - Kristyn the wedding coordinator would send me to the front desk, the front desk would send me back to Kristyn, I called and e-mailed multiple times, and just wasn't getting any answers. Finally I went in person to get the final quote from the front desk - and after all that, it turned out the amount they gave me was incorrect! So just hours before my first look, my matron of honor and bridesmaids had to scramble to figure this all out and pay the extra difference - they tried to keep me out of it but I knew there was something wrong, and it just added completely unnecessary stress on my wedding day. If I had to do it all over again - I would 100% book Larissa Lake and Co. because the artists are amazing, but I would state up front before I booked that I would need the final quote in writing, signed by Kristyn, a week before the wedding. This way you get all the beauty, none of the stress.

t for 8 people including myself so they had us start at 10am when we didn’t need to be ready until 4:30pm which resulted in the first few girls needing to touch up their hair and makeup prior to heading to the ceremony. No biggie though. My main issue with LL & co was with their administrative side of things. It seemed very disorganized from the beginning and as a bride that can be unsettling. The office manager, Kystyn, asked me two times, weeks after I had paid my deposit if I had paid it and her overall communications where clear that she wasn’t very detail oriented. Also, a week before my wedding I still hadn’t heard back about a timeline for starting so I had to reach out and then didn’t hear back until 4 days before my wedding and she had failed to make corrections. Now on the day of my wedding I had a lot going on and the girls had miscalculated their final worksheet and not double checking I ended up overpaying by $350. Larissa did end up refunding me and no issues there, everyone makes mistakes, but it did again take quite a few back and forth emails wit Krystyn to get her to really look at the details and understand what had happened. Overall, the stylists are fantastic and the end product of your wedding hair and makeup is good, but Larissa should probably get a real office mamanger.

special day of my life. Booking Larissa over a year in advance, I visited her beautiful salon numerous times to perfect both my wedding look, wedding color, and brows. Her entire team is beyond amazing, and truly help you perfect your entire look through both honesty and expertise. On the day of my wedding, both Larissa and Crystal worked wonders. Together they did the hair of my 8 bridesmaids, myself, and my flower girl. They were prompt, professional, and on schedule the entire time. To say that my bridal party looked stunning is an understatement. Everyone’s hair, of varying lengths, colors, textures, and styles, looked flawless and held the entire night. For my wedding hair, Larissa made a decision to create a more elegant/sleek bun then we had originally trialed for. Trusting her, we went for it and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I looked exactly how I wanted to on my wedding day - a classic and elegant bride. I cannot thank Larissa, Crystal, and the entire LL team enough for all that they did for me the year leading up to my wedding, and on my wedding day. They are truly so talented at what they do. I would recommend them to any bride and girl in a heartbeat!

ants picture perfect hair and makeup!

he package and had my hair and makeup trial in December. The trial went great, with Rachel (hair) and Natalie (makeup), making changes that I requested as we moved along. I had my facial (which I opted to upgrade) two weeks before my wedding, which was a great way to relax during a highly stressful period of wedding planning! Also, my skin looked so clean and fresh after the facial! On the wedding day, Rachel and Natalie arrived promptly to my wedding suite ready to glam up myself, four bridesmaids and my mom. We had a great morning filled with a lot of talking and laughing. Our hair and makeup looked flawless the entire day! All of my girls and I were joking at the end of the night that our makeup looked as good at 11:30pm as it did at 11:30 that morning. They listened to each girl's wants and needs and executed it beautifully. As the bride, I loved my entire look! My makeup popped in the photos and I felt like the best version of myself on one of the biggest days of my life. Thank you to both Rachel and Natalie for being so amazing!

e! We enjoyed our makeup artist and hair stylist very much. Leading up to the wedding, I did find it somewhat difficult to get answers/call backs, etc. Only one person can answer questions on bridal beauty, so that makes things difficult and can be slow. They charge a lot for their services and as such I would think service should be top notch from start to finish. It was fairly difficult arranging for out-of town trials, especially has I had to make 2 trips given my first hair trial was cancelled right before I got there. That being said, they did a great job when it mattered, but the lead-up to the wedding was not as great as it could have been compared to the other vendors I worked with (especially for the price you pay).

ay. I live out of state so I had no clue who to hire for my hair and makeup, but I'm so thankful I found them. They are the best!
