PHENOMINAL! from someone who works in the wedding business. I can't describe how much I LOVED my hair and makeup and this team. They deserve all the stars. I fell in love with Amanda and Milan at my trial. I gave a little description of what I had in mind and they just went above and beyond. I booked Amanda for my hair and Milan for my makeup. I was the only one getting hair and makeup done (no bridal party) On my wedding day Milan was such a ray of sunshine upon arrival and I just felt at ease. no stress. Part way into my makeup, Amanda called and notified me there was a bad accident on the highway and that she would be there but it would be slightly later than expected, unless I trusted Milan to do my hair as well & we wouldn't have to worry about any delays. No question- I felt that I was in the most capable hands with Milan. She did such a phenomenal job I could not believe how I looked. like me but better without looking too cakey or fake. She made the entire morning so much better- it felt like she was just another friend hanging out in the room with us- putting me at ease of everything. Even when I was stressed about other things happening- she was just so cool and calm and even put lashes on my mom to make her feel a little bit prettier for photos! She even waited for me to put on my dress and get ready before cleaning up to leave- it was a very very small bridal suite but she was just so kind and didn't make me feel rushed or like she was bothered that she had to wait. working in the biz, I have seen this many times where artists are trying to leave in the worst way. Milan was an angel and I would hire Nova and Milan and Amanda 100 more times.

All our artists were amazing and upbeat, fun, and in good spirits. The girls all looked amazing!! A special shout out to who did my hair as the bride--she had limited time to do my glam waves with extensions, and she did them in 1.5 hrs being pressured and they looked AMAZING! You would never know she only had a small amount of time. They looked like every inspo I ever wanted and I did not show her a picture, did not do a trial. I put full trust into this company and I am glad I did!!

Amazing makeup and hair job. They made my hair and makeup hold up through all the dancing and sweat. The girls were super sweet during the job and got through the 4 of us quickly, ...

even after my party was late getting started. Lisandra and Isabella were super amazing. I cannot imagine a better service!

a, and she was so nice and made me feel listened to and comfortable. Amanda was very professional and if I had a concern, listened and worked to address it. For example, for the shower we used lashes and glue, but I told her they felt uncomfortable, so for the trial we used magnetic lashes that I had and tried on different colors to see what look would look best for my wedding. And when I had a question about a skin concern for the wedding and called her, she took time to try to coach me on things I could do to help. I would definitely use NOVA Makeup and Hair for future events!

enough but once you see the pictures you can see that NOVA knew best. It comes out great in pics regardless of the shock you see at first in the mirror LOL. Fun girls, it was like getting ready with friends. Lastly, they were more affordable than some others we had considered and still did top notch work. Highly recommend.

at you want and then is able to work her magic to give you just that. I was so indecisive about what hair/makeup style I wanted to do for my wedding but she was so patient with me and really helped to guide me along the way. Her work is truly amazing and I am SO happy I found her for my big day!

agine having trusted anyone else with my wedding glam. During my makeup trial, Amanda took the time to ask questions and understand my vision. I wanted full glam, and let me tell you, she brought it. She makes you feel extremely comfortable, like family, and celebrates you (as any bride should be). On my wedding day, Amanda and her girls came prepared and ready to glam! They finished my mother and six bridesmaids quick and with ease, leaving all of them feeling gorgeous. When I found out my ceremony had to be moved inside due to rain, Amanda was my calming presence and brought so much light to the situation. She made me feel beautiful yet super hot and I couldn’t have asked for a better hype girl. 100% HIRE HER!

timeline of the wedding day. Thank you for glamming me for my wedding day! My look stayed put for the whole night despite having an outdoor ceremony in the Miami summer heat! My hair remained elegant throughout the night as well, just had to touch it up once (that's what sisters/bridesmaids are for!) The rest of my party looked perfect for the photos, including my mom! Appreciated Amanda's special touches and caring demeanor to my mother who was initially hesitant to get her makeup and hair done. Overall I was very happy with the services Amanda and her crew provided and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

All I can say is that Amanda (and the Nova team) is beyond amazing in what she does in both hair and makeup. She is the sweetest, genuine, funny... she creates a positive environme...

nt that really sets the vibe of the whole experience and she works with so much love. When Amanda says she is going to pamper you, she means it. She has gentle hands and lathers your face and neck to make sure you are hydrated before working on your face, neck, and skin. She really cares about the overall product. She applies body foundation to your neck and chest and blends it all. She makes sure you glow and adds contouring, highlight to your body to make sure you look your best in your outfit. She has amazing skills with lashes. She doesn’t treat lashes the same for everyone, it’s individualized and she even adds individual lashes if needed. She is also quick and knows how to manage her team efficiently. Amanda was my wedding makeup artist and just with one other team member completed 25+ services!!! And everyone had only wonderful things to say. She is quality and efficiency without sacrificing a great experience and environment. There is no stress when you are in her hands. It’s not about business to her, it’s loving what she does and creating a memorable experience for her girls and women. I cannot recommend more. She is forever my makeup artist. This talented woman is blessed. Choose her and her team!
