Malina was simply amazing. She put me right at ease the morning of the wedding. She is so skilled!!! She can do whatever hairstyle you dream of. She helped guide me to a makeup look I absolutely loved. She was delightful company on what could have been a stressful time, but you can trust her to get those details right. Seriously do not hesitate to work with her!

Malina is just the best! Not only is she an incredibly skilled hair and makeup artist, but she is also so kind and understanding. She did my makeup and hair as well as makeup for 7 of my bridesmaids/mother-in-law, and everyone’s makeup turned out so naturally beautiful. I let her know pretty last-minute that we would have to start makeup earlier in the morning than I expected (like super duper early), and she was so accommodating and quick to respond and change plans. I didn’t really have a clear idea of what I wanted for my makeup going into our trial, and she asked me really great questions to help me think about what I liked/didn’t like. I can also attest to how long-lasting the makeup is because I had a little too much fun and fell asleep in my wedding makeup (woops), and it still looked great the next morning! I truly cannot recommend her enough, and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making us all feel beautiful on my big day!
I couldn't have been more pleased with the wedding hair and makeup services provided by Malina Terra! She made me feel absolutely radiant on my special day. Despite not being able to do a trial session, Malina gracefully accepted my feedback and made adjustments to ensure I was completely satisfied with my look. She took the time to understand my preferences, resulting in hair and makeup that perfectly complemented my features. Malina crafted a stunning look that endured from 9 am to 11 pm, even through drizzle and wind during our portrait session and ceremony. Her work showcased exceptional skill and professionalism, using top-notch products that were both beautiful and comfortable to wear. If you're seeking a talented professional who will enhance your natural beauty and provide a stress-free experience, Malina Terra Hair and Makeup is the ideal choice!
Malina is a talented and lovely artist! I learned about her from my wedding planner, and let me tell you, she is the best in the area! I loved her soft and natural looks and the best part - she is equally as good at makeup as she is at hair. She is extremely laid back and really open to feedback which I so appreciated! On my wedding day, I felt really relaxed in her presence and she gave me the most perfect and bridal look. It was exactly as I hoped for and I truly have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Like.. ever! Thank you so much Malina!
I am so so glad I chose Malina to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She was so easy to work with, and on the day of the wedding she was so calm and made me feel at ease every step of the way (The kind of person you want on your wedding morning!) My hair and makeup looked amazing, and my bridesmaids/family were all so happy with theirs as well (especially my mom!) Thank you Malina!
I loved working with Malina for my wedding. At my trial, I had no idea what I wanted for my hair, and Malina was so helpful and patient with my wavering and indecisiveness over the next few weeks. On my wedding day, Malina worked with me to create the perfect hair/makeup that I was having the hardest time describing, making minor adjustments here and there and encouraging me to note anything that I wanted changed. Malina was also such a calm and pleasant presence on the day of the wedding. It felt like having another friend in the room. She also did my little cousins' hair and makeup quickly, which they loved and which wasn't part of the original plan. Couldn't recommend her highly enough!
Malina Terra is simply the best! I was extremely nervous about booking hair and makeup for my wedding because (1) we were traveling for our wedding so I didn’t have a chance to do a trial until the day before and (2) I generally hate getting my makeup done and have never once been happy with the final result–until Malina that is! After my husband’s coworker recommended her, I checked her out on Instagram, The Knot, and Wedding Wire, and immediately fell in love with her romantic natural makeup looks and unique ability to enhance the individual's natural beauty without making them look like an entirely different person. She exceeded all of my expectations and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself!
Malina was incredibly organized and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and worked with me to schedule my trial prior to our rehearsal dinner so I was able to get the full glam treatment for all of my big wedding weekend events. During the trial, she nailed the exact look I was going for right away and made me feel absolutely stunning! Malina and her partner, Erica, made my entire bridal party look and feel amazing and I am so incredibly grateful for both of them. Malina truly transformed me into the most beautiful bride and beyond what I had even envisioned! In addition to being the most amazingly talented hair and makeup artist, Malina is also just a wonderful person! She was so fun and pleasant to have around during a time that can be pretty stressful, and I really just can’t express how all-around fabulous she is! Booking Malina Terra is hands-down the best decision you can make for your wedding!
Malina was pure joy to work with. She and her team did such a fantastic job making the most important women in my life look and feel beautiful. We had a large group (13 including me) and Malina and her team were able to get us all ready on time. Our group had a wide range of skin tones, hair texture, and ages, and every single person was so happy with their hair and makeup.
Malina is hands down the best! Not only is she incredible at her work, she is also an incredible person! I felt relaxed and at ease on my wedding day. She is easy to talk to, understood exactly what I was going for and made me look a million times better than I ever could have imagined. She has absolutely mastered the enhanced natural beauty look. My hair and makeup stayed put throughout the day and night, withstanding heat, sweat, wind and my crazy dancing! She was a dream to work with and I can not recommend her more!
Malina is so special – not just an extremely talented artist, but so kind, so attentive and so easy to talk and work with!
Right off the bat, she answered all my questions quickly and remained very responsive throughout the whole process. She addressed all my concerns with ease, which shows how experienced and professional she is. She also provides you with a general guide for how to prepare your skin and hair for the big day, which was very helpful for both my bridesmaids and for me.
At my trial, it was so fun getting to know her, and she made me feel really comfortable. It was the perfect balance of me giving a general idea and vision of what I wanted and her executing it perfectly. I never felt intimidated to ask for something different because right off the bat she really wanted me to feel comfortable requesting changes or letting her know what I did and did not like.
The week leading up to the wedding, I started to get some dry patches around my eyes. I was really panicked that it would be noticeable at the wedding and in my photos. Malina handled it so well, I could barely notice. Also, I have very fine hair, and she talked me through my different options for styles and what would help me achieve the look I felt most myself in. She encouraged me to look into hair extensions to achieve my preferred look, and I’m so glad I did.
You won’t regret going with Malina for your hair and makeup! Not only is she so, so talented at what she does, but she brings such a calming, fun presence to the room, which is an invaluable added bonus!
Thank you, Malina! I loved, loved, loved how my makeup and hair turned out for my wedding!
Malina is the best!! I am someone who struggles with self confidence and indecisiveness and I had no idea how to articulate what I wanted for my wedding day look. I knew I wanted a natural look but something more than I would normally do, and Malina couldn't have done a better job. I also have very fine, thin hair that rarely holds a curl and I was thrilled with how full and beautiful she made my hair look. I can honestly say that Malina helped me feel THE prettiest I have ever felt in my life!!!
Not only is Malina extremely talented but she is incredibly sweet and has such a calm and comfortable energy. She brought the exact vibes I needed to keep me as relaxed as possible while I was getting ready for my big day.
Looking back at my wedding photos I see so much confidence, happiness, and love and I am so grateful for Malina's help in making me feel my absolute best. Could not recommend her enough!
Malina is hands down the best of the best! She is not only extremely talented, but so kind and was the perfect presence on my wedding day. I knew she understood the vision/look I was hoping for with my hair and makeup (even though I have no clue how to explain!) and put my full trust in her. She gave me the exact look I had in mind without having to change anything. As someone who isn't used to much makeup, she perfectly did a very natural but still glamorous look. I've never felt prettier. We did our trial the day before as we do not live nearby, and she changed my hair style to be a fun look for the rehearsal and different from the wedding - LOVED! Her team was phenomenal too, they did all 12 of my bridal party/family. They all looked and felt beautiful! So if you got to this point in the review, just book her now.
Malina is a talented artist and lovely person! Like many brides in COVID times, I had a small backyard ceremony and then a larger wedding reception a year later, and Malina did my hair and makeup for both. She was flexible, accommodating, and did an amazing job. I have naturally curly hair that I wanted to keep, and she did a great job styling it and making it look beautiful. If you're looking for the glam but natural, glow-y look for your makeup, Malina is your girl.
BOOK Malina! A million stars. Honestly - I get my hair and makeup down a lot, and she is by far the best I have EVER worked with. She's hands down incredible. She transformed me into my best self, listened to my thoughts, transformed my gibberish into ideas, was flexible, made excellent suggestions, and most importantly made me feel and look like a bride and calmed my nerves before the big day. Can't say enough good things. Book Malina and you will be so grateful you did.
I can't recommend Malina enough! She was the absolute easiest person to communicate with; she was immediately responsive and so welcoming. The trial went perfectly and she immediately got my vision! I felt comfortable knowing that she would make me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. She is so kind and I could feel myself glowing the whole night!
Malina is an absolute miracle worker! I cannot say enough good things about her. Not only did she exceed my dreams for MY hair and makeup, but the work she did on my mom & bridesmaids was impeccable. She works so hard, goes above and beyond and truly cares about her clients and it shows through her incredible work! She is so naturally talented and most importantly she is the absolute sweetest. So kind and wonderful to work with. It was an honor to have her be a part of such a special day in my life. So book her NOW, you can thank me later :)
Malina and her team were absolutely amazing! Malina is so easy to work with, she was great at communicating and getting back to me quickly, and she did a great job when I threw some curve balls at her by adding more people close to the wedding! We have 13 people who were getting their hair and makeup done and her team not only made us look and feel beautiful, they were also punctual, kind, funny, and made the whole morning run smoothly! As a bride, I didn't quite make my weight goal, and was nervous about feeling self conscious in my dress. But Malina made me feel so beautiful. I seriously don't know how she did it. I felt absolutely stunning and so confident! And Malina did that for me She is so talented at what she does and she brought a team with her that is just as talented. I know all my bridesmaids also felt beautiful and confident in the way they looked. I 100% recommend Malina and her team. She will make anyone feel like the most beautiful, confident, perfect woman, that we all are!
I used Malina for my wedding day hair and makeup. I was very happy with her services. One of the best qualities of her artistry is she responds to requests and feedback. I asked for a more natural look, which is exactly what I got.
I chose to do the trial with her (which I would recommend with any hair and makeup artist if it’s for your wedding). Based on the trial, there were a couple things I wanted to tweak for the wedding day. I let her know about these requests and she adjusted perfectly. My makeup lasted all day too!
She is also very easy to work with and flexible. She showed up on time for hair and makeup on the wedding day and helped bring a calming presence to the start of my day.
I cannot express my extreme gratitude to Malina Terra enough! She is absolutely talented beyond measure when it comes to her profession. Malina did my hair and make up for my maternity shoot and I was over the moon pleased with how it all turned out! She is so kind and easy to talk to and all around such a sweetheart. She is the only hair and make up artist I will ever use again in the future!
Malina is my hero! Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the company I originally booked to do my hair and makeup had to pull out 5 days before my wedding. Luckily, my sister contacted Malina that Tuesday and had her booked and ready to go by the end of that day! Malina asked me for pictures of hair and makeup ideas I liked, I liked my favorite examples on her Instagram, and that was it. She showed up on time the day of and was very professional and friendly (despite some awkwardness with a grouchy bridesmaid). When she showed me my hair and make up, it was exactly what I had imagined. I asked her to lighten my eyebrows because my family does not like how dark mine are :( , and she happily adjusted, even though she had matched my color perfectly the first time around. I felt so beautiful and relieved that I didn't have to do my hair and make up myself! I highly recommend her services!
