It is a long awaited honor to write this review for Lustre and Waves.
I met Calina, Elizabeth and Susita in September 2020 when they were working one of my best friend's weddings that I was in. Lo and behold, they did such an amazing job that MANY more of my friends hired them for their own weddings in the years to come. I waited patiently until my own wedding to hire them and four years since meeting them, I had the chance!
Before booking my venue and date, Calina was the first email I made. I had no doubt that I needed the girls as my get ready team. Luckily, it all worked out!
Lustre and Waves are professional, flexible and do an amazing job. They are warm, caring and have become friends over the years. Whenever someone gets engaged or expresses that they need a hair/make up team, they are the first vendor I suggest. This team made sure my large wedding party not only looked beautiful, but felt beautiful as well. Their calm demeanor helped my own nerves getting ready on that big day, and it was comforting knowing that at least one thing (my hair and make up) would go right that day.
I am forever indebted to the team at Lustre and Waves and I can't wait to hopefully be in even more of their weddings in the future (although, they truly have been the getting ready team for many of my married friends/family).
Thank you for everything!!!! I am so grateful to the girls of Lustre and Waves.
If you are a bride looking for a hair and make up team, stop now and hire them. I promise you won't regret it!
Just amazing! Calina & her team did my bridal and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. She absolutely nailed my vision (& trial!) and made me feel beautiful. All of my girls looked and more importantly felt gorgeous. They were not only timely but finished us ahead of schedule! I love the software and booking system that they use to keep everything organized and in one place to easily refer back to. So great to work with, I would definitely recommend. Thank you Calina!!
I am beyond thrilled with the work that Calina and Elizabeth did for me on my wedding day! From our first trial run to the big day, I felt completely confident that I was in the best hands. Calina (hair) and Elizabeth (make-up) were so professional, patient, and truly listened to everything I wanted for my hair and makeup. They nailed the vision I had in mind, and really created a look that matched my personal style. I felt like the best version of myself - elegant, yet natural.
On the wedding day, Calina, Susita (additional hair) and Elizabeth were calm, organized, and efficient. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and worked seamlessly with the others getting their hair and make-up done. I didn’t have a bridal party, but instead my mom, mother-in-law, husband’s aunt, and my best friend/officiant were getting their hair and make-up done. Calina and team were incredibly accommodating with this, capturing everyone’s personal style while elevating them in the perfect way.
Kudos to the team too as my hair and makeup looked just as perfect at the end of the night as it did when I first stepped into the venue. I felt like I was glowing, and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and long-lasting look. The hair and make-up were also perfect for the pictures. I look like myself, but elevated, and the makeup and hair really make the photos pop.
If you’re looking for talented, professional, and personable hair and makeup artists for your wedding, I highly recommend Lustre & Waves. They helped me feel so beautiful, and I am so grateful for their incredible work.
Thank you for making me feel so special on the most important day of my life!
Calina and Elizabeth both did hair/makeup for my sisters wedding and I knew they were going to be first vendors I contacted! They were so amazing and easy to work with! Communication was excellent and they made everyone feel so amazing! My hair and makeup was everything I was hoping for! It all lasted all night and I have never felt more beautiful! Cannot recommend enough!
The Lustre & Waves team was absolutely amazing to work with. Calina helped me customize the services for my big day exactly how we needed them, even helping to accommodate an event the morning of the wedding. The team put me at ease, helped me figure out a look that made me feel completely like myself, and were so fun to work with. They were professional and treated me, my bridesmaids, and the moms so well - I would highly recommend them for any brides-to-be!
I could not have been more happy with how my hair and makeup looked on my wedding day, Calina and Elizabeth are incredibly talented!! They were both attentive, professional, and fun throughout the whole process from initial booking to trial to the big day. The hair and makeup stayed put and continued to look flawless throughout the whole night even after hours of dancing!! All of the bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and makeup too :) Thank you Calina and Elizabeth!
Calina and Elizabeth were absolutely fantastic. They made our visions come true and our crew looked fantastic!
Calina and her mother worked seamlessly to do the hair of myself and 6 others on my wedding day. I was impressed at the diversity of styles they were able to make look incredibly beautiful. At my trial, calina heard my desire to have extensions for my wedding but I had little personal knowledge on the subject. She was able to recommend and provide a perfect color match of extensions that really helped me achieve the look I was envisioning on my wedding day. She was even able to go with the flow and cut off some inches from the extensions the day of the wedding when I was having second thoughts about how long they were. I am so grateful that I made the choice to book lustre & waves for my wedding! Thank you again calina!
Calina did me and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding and did such an outstanding job! Everyone looked so beautiful and we had a great time getting ready. Highly recommend Lustre and Waves to anyone.
Calina and Elizabeth are a small but mighty team! They are professional, talented, down to earth, organized, punctual, understanding, and fun. My experience with Lustre & Waves exceeded my expectations, and my wedding day was absolutely magical.
From the initial booking to our final exchange, Calina was incredibly easy to communicate with and would always respond as soon as possible. Her project management platform is super organized (and beautiful!), and she’s very on top of updating documents, sending surveys, and updating invoices accordingly. I’m crazy about organization, so this did not go unnoticed. I really appreciated that aspect of working with them.
Elizabeth is a genuinely intuitive artist. She excels at effortlessly merging inspiration from photos with methods that suit your natural features to create a look that will make you feel beautiful, elegant, and even sexy. She is also incredibly flexible. After wrapping up at another wedding, Elizabeth offered to come to my wedding early. Since we had extra time, I asked if she could add a makeup application for my sister, and without hesitation, she said absolutely. I was so thankful and overjoyed that my sister could have her makeup done and would feel her best on this special day! Until my wedding, I’d never had my makeup professionally done–Elizabeth exceeded my expectations and made me feel like a total queen.
Lastly, I want to add a special note about something that set the tone for my experience with Lustre & Waves. Calina & Elizabeth already had a wedding booked on the same day as mine when I initially reached out, but without hesitation, Calina willingly came up with a solution to cover my wedding as well without compromising quality or timing at either one. The request could’ve easily been turned down, but she and Elizabeth very obviously love what they do so much that she found a way to make it work for everyone. This level of dedication, commitment, professionalism, and flexibility is unmatched in the industry.
If you’re looking for a New England-based HMU team, look no further and book Lustre & Waves right now!
Calina at Lustre & Waves was fantastic and I could not recommend her more for wedding hair. My hair turned out incredible, and she was extremely patient/flexible with my bridal party. She is so talented, and I will be using her again for other events in the future!
Calina is the best! :)
Finding Lustre & Waves on The Knot was the absolute best luck I’ve ever had. After our hair and makeup trial with Calina and Elizabeth, we were certain we had made the best decision. Kara and I are both very simple and wanted to ensure we would feel like ourselves on our wedding day, while also looking "camera ready" and feeling beautiful on our special day.
On our wedding morning, Kara and I didn’t want to see each other before walking down the aisle. Calina and Elizabeth were incredibly accommodating, ensuring we didn’t see each other while still being able to be in the same area with our family and wedding party. It was such an enjoyable morning, and our families and wedding party were obsessed with Lustre and Waves. They made us all feel absolutely stunning.
Truly, I am beyond impressed and forever thankful for their talent. Calina’s mom, another hair stylist, even helped us steam our wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. For a morning that can be high stress, they stepped in, set everything up with ease, and had everyone’s hair and makeup done with plenty of time to spare.
You will not regret hiring Calina and Elizabeth. They are true gems with amazing talent. We are beyond thankful and grateful that they played such an integral role in our wedding day.
We will definitely be finding an excuse to have them do our hair and makeup again in the future!
Calina did my hair as well as my 9 bridesmaids for my wedding in April. Her and her team were so on top of things and gave each girl exactly what they were looking for! As the bride, my hair seriously looked like it was in a magazine! She did SUCH a good job! Elizabeth on makeup was also extremely talented at what she does and I felt like a model! They both take their time and make sure you like what they have done. Highly recommend booking for your special day!
This team is amazing!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and people kept asking me if my hair was real because it stayed perfect all night! 🤣 What felt even more amazing was seeing how beautiful all my friends and family felt ❤️
Soo happy with my experience with Lustre & Waves. I felt listened to with my hair/makeup requests and was so happy with how everything turned out. My bridesmaids all agreed it was the most beautiful they have ever felt post professional hair/makeup. The Lustre & Waves team was so much fun to be with on my wedding morning and everything went off without a hitch- highly recommend!!
Calina is amazing! She brought such a calm and relaxed energy to the morning of my wedding and my hair turned out even better the day of than it did at my trial! She gave suggestions about how to cut my hair to get the look I was going for and helped my mom schedule a trial for her hair as well. Would definitely recommend Calina to anyone who wants a stress free morning and an AMAZING bridal hair experience!
Calina and Elizabeth were the BEST! If you’re looking for a HMU team in New England you absolutely must book them. They did my whole bridal party and did a phenomenal job on everybody - the hair and makeup was gorgeous. They took everyone’s inspo pics/requests and delivered flawlessly every single time! I can’t express enough how great it was to work with them!
Calina and Elizabeth were an exceptional team and so much fun to work with. After my hair & makeup trial, I had no worries that I would be happy with my look and feeling confident on wedding day. I wanted the morning of to be peaceful and easy-going and they both helped make it just that. MOB & MOG were thrilled with their first time getting professional hair/makeup and everyone knows that’s a hard thing to accomplish!! They helped to make the perfect day happen- anyone would be lucky to have them as part of their wedding experience!
I cannot say enough great things about Lustre and Waves! Calina did my hair for my wedding and it came out perfectly. I didn’t have enough time to do a trial beforehand but she was able to capture exactly what I wanted on the day of my wedding. She was professional, prompt, communicative and just overall a fun person to have around on my wedding day! I cannot recommend Calina + Lustre and Waves enough!!
Calina & Elizabeth were amazing! They were helpful, calm, and helped me to find my perfect wedding look. On the wedding day, they were calm & helped out so much! They helped a few of my bridesmaids find up-do's they loved when it was too humid for their hair to be down. I got so many compliments on my hair & makeup! It didn't even budge in the rain!
I loved my hair and makeup Lustre & Waves provided for my wedding! Calina and Elizabeth are a great team! They are both incredibly talented and knowledgeable. From the trial to the wedding day, they were both so helpful answering our questions and providing suggestions. I appreciated their guidance and went above and beyond providing general hair and makeup advice to my bridal party. They were fun to have in the room with us getting ready and were very efficient completing all our hair and makeup in time! Would recommend Lustre & Waves to anyone!
I had a wonderful experience with Calina, Elizabeth, and Suzita! They did a great job keeping to our schedule, a blast to have in the bridal suite, and my bridesmaids and I all felt gorgeous. They even helped out when I had an issue with my bustle! I highly recommend this team.
I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My updo lasted dancing all night and my ceremony in heavy winds! My makeup was just enough glam while still being natural. Any NH brides - Lustre and Waves should be your vendor!
As a groom with longer hair Calina did an awesome job creating a hair style for my wife’s and I wonderful day. She was very accommodating in creating a style I loved. Her professionalism and efficiency was next level and I couldn’t recommend her any higher for any grooms or groomsmen, especially if you have no idea.
Calina and Elizabeth were great! Calina was easy to get in touch with and pleasant to work with. They arrived on time and were able to accommodate my style and preferences. I highly recommend their services for your wedding or special day!
Everything was amazing! They came in, got lots of girls ready and ready on time! everyone’s hair looked absolutely unbelievable!!!!!!!! As the bride, I could not have been more obsessed with my updo. I wore it all day and night and wore it to the top of Mount Washington the next day LOL and somehow it still looked amazing. So if you’re worried about your hair falling down halfway through the night… it won’t!
This team is fantastic! They travelled to my venue in Jackson NH and were extremely helpful and timely on that day and throughout the whole
Planning process! The makeup on myself and 11 bridesmaids came out unbelievably gorgeous and everybodys hair was just stunning! Thank you so much!
Calina was so awesome. I came to her sort of last minute with a very specific look. She was so patient with me and my bridesmaids and showed up right on time. Everyone looked amazing and I was so happy with her service!
Calina is amazing!!! She did my hair and makeup for prom! It was so so good. She’s so kind and amazing at what she does!!
Calina and her team are artists! Calina worked with me for a year leading up to my event. They did my hair and makeup for both my engagement shoot and my wedding. They were perfect for both events! I continue to get so many compliments on my wedding hair. They made me feel like a goddess! I would highly recommend studio 90 to every bride!!
Amazing talent. Absolutely loved working with Calina and Elizabeth. They were fantastic! I couldn't imagine a better crew for my special day.
I don’t know if I can find the words to express my gratitude for Calina, Elizabeth, and Susita. Calina and Elizabeth did my bridal trials, and were so patient and understanding. They took my ideas and did my hair and makeup better than I ever imagined. On the day of our wedding, Calina and Susita were the DREAM hair team. Not only did they do an amazing job on our bridesmaids’ very unique styles, but they also helped out my mom last-minute when her curlers didn’t set exactly right. And Calina somehow managed to braid my very shy flower girl’s hair (which she then kept talking about how much she loved all day). Elizabeth is so talented at airbrush makeup and really listened to each girl’s individual style. More than half of my bridesmaids don’t wear makeup daily, and they were thrilled by the work that Elizabeth did. My matron of honor even said the makeup looked better than at her own wedding! Elizabeth also helped my mother and mother-in-law last-minute with their eyes, which looked incredible all night. I am so thankful to have found Studio 90! Thanks for making me feel like a fairy princess bride on my special day.
If you want a stress-free getting ready room, book these ladies. They did my hair, all of my sister’s hair, my mothers and my Mother-in-law’s. Everyone’s hair looked amazing and there was no re-pinning or fixing needed at any point, and we had a night wedding! I have never gotten more compliments on my makeup than after Elizabeth did my wedding look. They made us all look beautiful and feel confident. Thanks!
Calina and her team are truly wonderful. We had some scheduling challenges with the makeup trial so had to do the hair and makeup trials on separate days. I didn't totally love my first hair trial and she comp'd a second trial when I came back for my makeup trial. She and her team did a beautiful job the day of our wedding, and responded well to my feedback from the trial on the big day (wanted my makeup to be a bit more natural). They were on time, so kind, and did a beautiful job with everyone: myself, moms, and my bridesmaids. Would 100% recommend Studio 90!
The Studio 90 team did a wonderful job on the Mom's, and wedding party's makeup and hair, as well as my makeup. Calina and Elizabeth were both super easy to work with and I loved the way everything turned out! Professional, kind, on time; the entire wedding day process was so calm and easy, it remains one of the least stressful getting ready wedding moments I've been a part of. Thank you to the whole team for making everyone look and feel beautiful, and for being an important part of our wedding day!
We are so happy that we got Calina for our wedding day! We were so nervous about choosing the right person-someone we could count on, someone who was talented, someone who was efficient with time (14 bridesmaids +) and Calina was all that and more! She is incredibly sweet and thorough! We would highly recommend her, you will not regret it!
Calina and her team were EXCELLENT! HIGHLY recommend them. they did hair and makeup for my entire bridal party and mothers/ grandmothers a total of about 12 everyone loved their hair and makeup and most importantly they held up in the very high winds for my outdoor wedding and all through the night! One of my bridesmaids who has been part of many weddings said they were the best she's ever experienced!!
Calina and Elizabeth were the best hair and makeup team I could have asked for! I had 10 bridesmaids, myself, and my mother getting services and somehow they finished well before our timeline. I wanted an extremely simple curl, extensions added for fullness, and had a hairpiece to pin on one side. Calina delivered exactly what I wanted and I received the same feedback from my happy bridesmaids. The team was so kind, efficient, and truly made the morning of my wedding stress-free (which is extra impressive if you know how much I stressed before the big day). Calina's mother was her assistant and on that morning, she was all of our mother! She was funny and helpful, but didn't stop at curling hair; she steamed all of the bridesmaids dresses when she had some downtime! Elizabeth is truly a master at matching your skin color for airbrush. It was such a flawless finish that looked incredible both in person and in our photos. I cannot recommend the Studio 90 team enough.
Do not hesitate to hire Calina and Studio 90 team for your hair and makeup!! From the initial bridal trial to day-of events, Calina was a joy to work with. Friendly, down to earth, professional, and she helped me plan my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted it for my wedding day (even though I was pretty indecisive at first!) My hair and makeup looked perfect the entire day, even through the after party, and I didn't need a touch up once! Thank you Calina :)
Calina and Elizabeth were an amazing team to work with on my wedding day! They were both attentive and made sure that not only I looked perfect, but also the rest of my wedding party. They are true professionals!
Calina, her mother and Elizbeth were amazing!! Calina was very talented and made my wedding hair inspo come true! Elizabeth was so good helping me pick the best look for my big day, esp as someone who doesn't wear make up often. Highly recommend them!!
I am so incredibly happy I went with Calina & Elizabeth. Not only are they both very talented, but they took all of my “I don’t knows” and “maybes” and somehow turned it into exactly what I wanted. They listened to all of my concerns, helped me figure out what I actually wanted (and not just what I thought I should do), and my makeup and curls stayed intact through several hours of nonstop dancing and even a boat ride! All of my ladies also had the best things to say about these two. Thank you Studio 90!
Studio 90 was the BEST decision I made for my wedding. Besides marrying my husband. haha Calina, Susita, and Elizabeth are amazing to work with. This is what they are meant to do in life. Calina is just a magician at hair. She knew exactly what I wanted. She is so sweet and nice. Calina is a dream to work with. Susita is great as well. She did great doing the hair of the rest of the ladies in my party. Elizabeth could not have done a better job. She made me look and feel so beautiful. She made me feel at ease, on what was an anxious day. I wish I could get married again so that I could hire these ladies again. I just love them.
Studio 90 did the most amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup!
I got married on Halloween and our dress code was all black, Calina and Elizabeth did a fabulous job making me stand out from the crowd.
The curled partial updo Calina did for me was stunning, my hair looked full and voluminous. My curls looked amazing. She suggested I get some sort of crown or headpiece and I am really glad I listened to her because my crown looked so good in all of the photos. Calina and Susita did all my bridesmaids hair and everyone looked so beautiful. Although everyone has different hair lengths and colors, we all looked very cohesive in our photos thanks to them. Elizabeth absolutely slayed everyones makeup, we were so gorgeous. My look was totally the opposite of a traditional bride, (I had black lipstick, black smoky eye, etc.) Elizabeth totally killed it- I looked like a super sexy goth princess. SO happy with my experience- everything was excellent- thank you!
Professional and delivered beyond expectations. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding at the end of October and Calina from Studio 90 was fantastic. I came with a few picture ideas of what I was looking for and she was able to create a style that worked beautifully with my hair. She did an extremely wonderful job and I would highly recommend Studio 90 for any event.
I can't say enough about Calina and Elizabeth. I found Studio 90 through the knot and am so happy I did. Calina made my hair dreams for my wedding come to life. She worked on myself, my 6 bridesmaids, my mother in law as well as my mom. Her and her team took the time and attention to detail in each one of us. My trial runs were perfect. She listened to what I wanted and made it her own. She incorperated my hair piece with the style I wanted and the end result was breathe taking. Elizabeth (make up artist) was so kind and put up with my thousands of questions. After my first trial I told her what I liked and what I wanted to change, and at my second trail she nailed it. Mine and my wedding parties make up was everything and more. This team and studio is the first and only place you should look for your big day!!
Studio 90 was so great to work with! They were so efficient and the entire bridal party loved their hair and makeup. As the bride, my hair and makeup lasted throughout the night. I couldn't recommend them enough!
I got married on 10-2-21 & I couldn't have asked for a better team then Calina, Elizabeth & Susita.
From the moment I had my makeup & hair trial to the morning of the wedding when we had to start getting ready pretty early & they all came ( EARLY ) & with a smile on there faces.
I had emailed Elizabeth a few weeks before the wedding because I had been sweating bad this past summer & she assured me that the makeup she uses is better for people that get sweaty due to it not being oily & boy was she right, my makeup lasted ALL DAY & NIGHT, we had an 8 hour wedding & it didn't even budge.
My Mom who doesn't get dressed up or have her hair or makeup done a lot looked GORGEOUS.
Now lets move on to my hair, I am STILL receiving texts/calls & more so than ever facebook comments on my hair. CALINA IS THE BEST!
She literally made my inspiration come to life but an even better version of what I ever could have expected.
Susita did it all, at the end when they were all done she was doing dishes & cleaning up the pastry spread & mimosa bar we put out!
I would recommend Studio 90 OVER & OVER AGAIN, I can't stress enough on how happy I am with there services!!
I was very fortunate to have Calina and Elizabeth doing my bridal makeup and hair. They did much amazing job with both of the services. It is actually how I wanted. The bridal trial process was very smooth and the getting ready process on the wedding day was very fun and relaxing at a same time. They are very understanding. I cant say enough how much I was happy to have them and how grateful I am. I am glad that I meet these 3 ladies with so much beautiful souls. Thank you so much Studio 90. Love
