el so beautiful on my wedding day and I can't thank her enough! I would recommend her to every bride if I could! She even did my grandmother's hair who is normally super shy with her hair and made her feel so comfortable and amazing! We also had a wedding during a major tropical storm and I can say that our hair kept up wonderfully in the weather! 10/10 Sonya is amazing!
Not only is Sonya talented, but she is so sweet! She brought my wedding day hair vision to life and it stayed in place all night (even in the hot/humid Georgia weather). She also d...

r is very finicky and doesn't style well and she made it look so incredible - it's mind-blowing. If you're looking for hair/make-up artists in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend her. Both ladies do incredible, incredible work. My wedding was also kind of in the middle of nowhere and they were both so accommodating and understanding. I am so pleased with my decision to book Sonya, her and DaNina really just made me look so good and it made the day so perfect. I can't wait to see more of my wedding photos so I can look at pictures of the best my hair will ever look in my life. Thank you, Sonya!

ist DaNina, were both so professional and caring. My wedding was the weekend it snowed in December. Sonya and DaNina were so proactive and thoughtful that they stayed in a hotel near the place we were getting ready in just to make sure they could be there on time in the morning in case the roads were icy. They are seriously so dedicated and they want to make sure everything goes smoothly. I would definitely recommend them!!

nd we all liked how our hair turned out. She was punctual and completed the work within the required time frame. She also helped me put on my drop veil, which was a difficult project, since the veil did not have a comb sewn onto it beforehand. Both the veil and the hair held up very well. I would definitely recommend Sonya to other brides!

d to me from a friend. DaNina did our makeup and Sonya did our hair they really did a FANTASTIC job! We all looked like the best versions of ourselves, while keeping a similar look/style between all of us, and we looked elegant but natural. Some of my bridesmaids were worried about getting their makeup done, that it would be too much, but they were all very happy with the job that DaNina did. Sonya is very talented and made me feel and look gorgeous! They were also very sweet, calm, and great to be around. I am so happy that I found Sonya Riviere for my wedding!
