Karen sets the bar HIGH! She is delightful, kind, conscientious of time and worked well with my hair team! I don’t wear a ton of makeup, but WOW did she enhance my natural features...
. I’m 42 and honestly, I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did the day Karen did my makeup! She’s top-notch!!!
Karen made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She did makeup for me, my mom and my bridesmaids and we all looked amazing :) Most importantly, it lasted all day/night! Karen is...
so talented and such a pleasure to be around. She really cares about her clients and puts such thought and care into her work. I highly recommend Karen for bridal makeup!
She worked miracles to help pull our looks together! Could not be happier with her service and advice.
Karen is AMAZING!! The day of my trial I woke up with a swollen eye, but went anyway because who knew what would happen the day of the wedding?! After applying her makeup, you coul...
dn’t even see any problem with my eye. Decision made.
Day of wedding- forgot my face cream and my skin was literally flaking off my face... gross. Karen worked her magic, completely covered everything and I didn’t need a single touch up all day/night. If that isn’t a testament to her greatness I don’t know what is.
7 bridesmaids, mom and I were all finished on time; Karen even stayed a little longer in case any one needed something fixed after getting dressed.
Anna had everyone’s hair done perfectly and with time left to spare. She worked quickly and the job she did was perfection. She knew exactly what style would flatter each girl and made everyone look like and feel like a princess.
I never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and that is the only thing I bride could want. ❤️ thank you Karen and Ana for being the ultimate dream team and making all of us look and feel incredible.
I hired Karen to do my makeup for my wedding. I don't usually wear much makeup and wanted a more natural look. She did an amazing job and I got so many compliments on my makeup. Sh...
e provided me with a bridal touch-up kit that I used throughout the night. My mom rarely wears makeup and Karen made her feel comfortable and did a natural light look on her. I highly recommend LaV Beauty for your bridal makeup needs.
Let me start by saying these ladies are a powerhouse dynamic duo! My bridal party and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen Schrowang (owner of LaV Beauty and makeup art...
ist) and Anna (hair stylist). I met Karen at our wedding venue’s bridal expo and instantly connected with her. Just in the one conversation you could feel her passion for her business and deep care for her clients. She is very engaging, fun, and prepared to satisfy your every need! Her list of services and portfolio is extensive AND she has her own make-up line. The products are absolutely beautiful and were perfect for my sensitive skin. She was very accommodating to my mother and I for our trial (we are from out of town) and was so hospitable. We felt so cared for and had an absolute blast!
The day of our wedding, 7/21/18, they continued to exceed our already high expectations! I contracted services for my large bridal party of 7, my flower girl, mother, and myself. We all got ready in a large relaxing space I reserved at our hotel. I would highly suggest doing this for your special day to enjoy, relax, and allow plenty of space for these ladies to work their magic! They worked through our large party at a great pace but we never felt rushed. Each one of my ladies was perfectly catered to and all of us felt and looked absolutely stunning! Everybody had great conversation and so much fun with Karen and Anna. They not only added so much beauty to our special day but really set an exciting and fun tone from the start! I was also crafted a touch up kit with full sized LaV Beauty products I was wearing but honestly only used the gloss once because it lasted that long (over 14.5 hrs.)!
From start to finish, Karen and Anna were an absolute joy to work with. Their level of commitment, professionalism, attentiveness and care to their clients, passion for their craft, and true artistry is outstanding. They truly are extraordinary and exceptional. I would highly recommend this team for any and all occasions!
Karen from LaV is an absolute make-up genius. I never wear make-up and wanted to have a very natural look on my wedding day. Karen is amazing!! She took all of my concerns into con...
sideration and I looked beautiful. I never would have known that a little bit of make-up could make me feel so much more confident on my big day. Karen did all my girls and my mom's make-up also, everyone looked so beautiful.
Not only is Karen a wizard with make-up, Anna can do absolutely anything you ask with your hair. She did an amazing job with my bridesmaids and myself on wedding day. We had a rainy day the day of our wedding and everyone's hair held up through transfers from limo to church and back to the venue for photos. Not a single strand came loose all night and everyone looked stunning.
Thank you LaV for making my day a breeze. Not only did we all look amazing, we had so much fun getting ready and being pampered by Karen and Anna!!
Myself, my bridesmaids, my mother and godmother all looked INCREDIBLE the day of my wedding all thanks to Karen!
My godmother actually didn't want her makeup done and confessed t...
o my mom just before sitting down in Karen's chair that she was probably going to wipe most of it off. When she looked in the mirror after Karen finished, she gasped because she couldn't believe how she looked! She told me later that weekend that she hasn't felt that beautiful in decades.
We got our photos back this week and OMG looking at the pictures just reinforces how incredible Karen and her team are. I feel so blessed to have photos where myself and my favorite ladies look and feel like a million bucks. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Karen!
I can't say enough great things about working with Karen! From our first initial meeting right through my wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalis...
m and ability to make anyone (&everyone) look stunning cannot be matched. She is more than accommodating to any request and is receptive. Karen did an amazing job of making me & my bridal party feel beautiful, I recommend her services to all!
Karen was not only a delight to be in company with but also is fantastic at what she does. She was hired for my sister-in-laws wedding and every lady's beauty was enhanced through ...
the skills of Karen. I personally, get nervous about lipstick colors and she knew exactly would work for me. I ended up purchasing the color that day because of how great the product was. I felt so beautiful and confident taking pictures that night for my brothers wedding. My makeup stayed on the whole night and I certainly danced a lot. I would def. recommend Karen, you will not regret it.
We simply enjoyed the entire experience from make up trial to the big day.
We felt well cared for, shared a ton of laughs, and stuck to schedule. Even with starting at 6 AM both ...
ladies were early and ready to get to work while keeping the atmosphere light and fun
Thank you for an amazing day!
I hired lav to do both hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. Karen and her team were so helpful along the way to help me plan my perfect look. As for the ...
quality of their work, I think a story from our wedding day is the best description of how amazing lav is: My aunt, who is extremely particular about her makeup, never wants anyone else to do it for her because she never likes it. She was scheduled to get her hair done but told me in advance no makeup! The day of, as she sat and watched all the other girls getting their makeup done and how beautiful it was, she changed her mind!!! She actually requested that Karen do her makeup and she LOVED the way it turned out.
I highly recommend lav!! They made my girls look beautiful for the big day!!
These ladies were fantastic to work with. They do a trial run before the wedding so on the day of the wedding there are no questions asked because they know what to do. On the da...
y of the wedding, it made getting ready enjoyable because they were laughing and joking with myself and the bridal party making it less stressful. The make up and hair lasted all day long!
LaV Beauty was great. Everyone looked great at our wedding!
I received SO many compliments on my makeup and hair that I don't think I could count. And yes, I know, you're supposed to compliment the bride but usually it's saying "omgosh you...
look so beautiful" or something along those lines. I got compliments direclty about the hair and the makeup. I had so many tell me that if they had seen me on the street, they wouldn't have known it was me because of how gorgeous my makeup was.... I wonder what that means about my regular face haha!
Karen was wonderful. She had an extra hair person come to help out with some more difficult bridesmaids hair. Anna was a gem with the hair and did an extraordinary job not only with my hair but with everyone's hair! Everyone was getting compliments! They listened, they tweaked and they made us laugh!
Wodnerful experience and would definitely recomment her to all the brides out there!!
very flexible, great eye, excellent advices, great work, very proffesional
I had both my hair and make-up done through laV and I was thrilled with the way everything came out. I did a trial run and there were a few things I wanted to change from the trial...
to the big day. They made the changes no problem and I was in love with the overall look. All of my girls looked stunning and loved their hair! My only issue is that it was a bit pricey.
Karen was great! I'm not from the area, so we were unable to do a trial run for hair and makeup. But it was not a problem as Karen is a whiz with make-up and her hairstylist part...
ner was unbelievable. We had a rather large wedding party but they were able to accommodate everyone and finish right on time! I loved what Karen was able to do with my make-up, I had no idea I could look so great! All of the girls looked fabulous. I ended up even buying some of her makeup (she offers a touch-up kit) because I loved it so much, I still use the make-up every day! Her hairstylist Shoshonna was amazing, I couldn't believe the beautiful creations she did on me and my girls right on the spot. Highly recommended!
