I had to write a review for Mel and her team because they did an amazing job! I was married on 8/1/15 in Snowmass Village, CO and asked if Mel would make the journey for me as the ...
pricing in Aspen, CO was ridiculous for our budget. Not only did she agree to come all this way, but her and her team arrived on time and worked on nine girls (hair and makeup). We were done early and everyone was happy with the results. I was very nervous to book anyone because I have never planned a wedding before, but Mel answered ALL of my questions thoroughly. She calmed my nerves and was wonderful. We planned a trial, went amazing, but I asked for some changes. The day of my wedding, EVERYTHING I mentioned, she did flawlessly. I was so impressed. She is extremely talented, a great listener and has an amazing personality. If you're looking for a great hair and makeup vendor, this is your girl!
I was a nervous wreck with all the planning from the wedding. I went back and forth on if I should hire someone for makeup or not. As I usually don't like my makeup when others hav...
e done it in the past. I decided after much thought to do some searching. I found Makeup with Mel and after looking through others pictures decided she was the one to try. From the beginning she was so so friendly and professional. She came to my house for the trial, I had decided to go for this look in a pic that I thought I would like. She did such a great job with the makeup but I realized the pic that I had shown wasn't what I really wanted. So she was kind enough to come back to my house for another trial run. It was perfect she listened to what I wanted and definately delivered. Not to mention she is the sweetest person and we had a fun time during the trial. Then came my wedding day, obviously I was so nervous but she made me feel at ease and made me forget all the chaos that was going on around me. On top of all of that she made my very sick mother feel and look gorgeous. She waited on my mom to show up since she was late but Mel was so patient and kind. She even asked if she could help with other things that we needed while she waited. If you want to look gorgeous on your wedding day and not have to worry about a thing please hire Mel! She really is the absolute best at what she does! Not to mention it stayed ALL DAY and I got married in late July ladies OUTSIDE! Ha ha!So that is really saying something about how she applied the makeup! Thanks again Mel for all of your wonderful help!
Only a couple weeks before the wedding date I had a trial with another salon that didn't go very well. I had scheduled hair/makeup for 10 people with them and now didn't know what ...
to do. It was up in the mountains, so I needed on-location service. I immediately stated calling around and got referred to Mel by her friend who knew she happened to be available for my wedding date.
Mel recognized the bridal emergency and worked with me to schedule a trial and calm me down as quickly as possible. She came to my house and the trial was amazing. Mel is a wonderful person and does amazing makeup and hair. With only a few days notice she assembled a team with 3 more ladies and saved the day. The moms and bridesmaids loved their hair makeup. Mel also stayed until the reception to touch up hair and makeup for the pictures after the ceremony.
I wanted some wow factor for my big day and Mel made it happen!
Mel Akana provided makeup services for my destination wedding last year, and she was amazing!! She asked that I meet with her a few days before the wedding so that she could coord...
inate the hair stylist and to discuss both my hair and makeup needs. Not only is she the nicest person you would ever want to meet, but she provided exceptional value and service. She arrived early on the day of the wedding, and she stayed until I was ready to walk down the aisle....just to be sure that everything was perfect! Mel also did the make up for my two flower girls -- a little gloss and sparkle!
When I walked down the aisle, I truly felt like a princess; and Mel was a pivotal part of making my special day a fabulous success!!
