Style Me Elvi

ir and all my bridesmaids. Her team was more than patient and accommodating to all of us. Just amazing !!!

more than a year before. Unfortunately my wedding was postponed due to Hurricane Dorian. I did not choose this, the venue (The Walton House) closed due to high winds and having to relocate all the animals on the property. So I advised Lauren but she let me know that she didn’t have any Saturday available until March. We originally paid for a Sunday because it was Labor Day weekend. The venue now offered us a Saturday due to the inconvenience and we would not have to pay the difference. I let Lauren know that due to the circumstances I would need my deposit back and I would proceed with another artist that could accommodate me on a my new date. Her contract states word for word “ CANCELLATION POLICY YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SERVICES AT ANY TIME. YOUR DEPOSIT HOWEVER, IS NON-REFUNDABLE. IN THE EVENT OF SICKNESS, ACCIDENT, ACT OF GOD, OTHER REASONS BEYOND CONTROL, OR THE ARTIST IS SUBJECT TO UNAVAILABILITY, EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO ASSIST YOU IN MAKING OTHE ARRANGEMENTS AND YOUR DEPOSIT WILL BE REFUNDED”. A hurricane to my understanding is an act of God. It is not created by man kind and we are unable to control its path. Again I did not cancel, the venue did for safety purposes. Lauren refused to refund my deposit. I made all efforts to choose a date that would work for her but I could not wait till March. Also due to my work schedule and having my fiancé’s children living 6 hours from us, it made impossible to have my wedding on a Friday or Sunday. My last resort would be to choose a Sunday that is on a holiday weekend or the following Monday has no school. At no point did she make an effort to try and find a solution. She did not make an effort to assist me in making other arrangements. In the end, she refunded me after I pleaded my case. I am happy that this occurred and I didn’t go through with her services because she showed her true colors. At the end of the day, she is running a business and she had no compassion for what I was going through. Her customer service sucked!!! She only added more stress and tears to my situation.

autiful than I did on my wedding day and I have Elvi to thank for that! In addition to being extremely talented, she is also the sweetest person you will ever meet! If you are engaged and looking for a hair & makeup artist then do not look any further, you have already come across the best of the best! (:

ilable she had someone from her team take me on as a client. From trial day to wedding day, she’s been nothing short of awesome. Her vibe is the best. She made my sisters & mom feel so comfortable and dolled everyone up. She is definitely going to be hired for all my makeup & hair needs for all future events! Love her!! Thank you for being the best EVER! I definitely recommend her!

great,fun, and calm energy into our getting ready space- it truly calmed my nerves and made the day so great! Elvi is a professional through and through, but also just had fun with us. I can't wait to book a private makeup class with her so she can teach me her ways! Elvi, thank you again for everything- you are so wonderful! Future Brides: PLEASE do yourself a favor and book Elvi. She is the chill, boho/indie, happy, kind of girl you need as your getting ready on your big day.

please the bride. If you are looking for a makeup artist who you can blindly trust, be clear with about what you want, and who’s easy to interact with then she’s the one for you. She’s also very patient and extremely professional — which is necessary to have when there’s a lot of craziness going on minutes/hours before the wedding. Elvi made my day so much easier and enjoyable. One of the best decisions I made for the wedding was to hire her as my makeup and hair artist. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I can’t thank her enough for her patience and kindness the day of the wedding. In case you’re wondering... It is definitely worth paying for and booking time for the makeup and hair trial. Elvi did the trial of what I wanted and I quickly discovered it wasn’t the look I was actually going for and she was able to make adjustments to achieve the desired look. Also, when we did the trial for my hair it helped things go a lot more smoothly on the wedding day. She even perfected my updo and was able to make it look exactly like my inspiration photos. Hire Elvi for your big day, you won’t regret it!

She has the sweetest soul and so kind hearted. You meet her and feel like you’ve been best friends your whole life. She definitely made my wedding day so magical even though there was a non stop hurricane going on outside. Her and her team are the best!!

ing on my wedding day. Glowing and natural. You will not be dissapointed!

rmined to go to my trial no matter how much pain I was in. She was so attentive and made me feel so comfortable. I truly fell in love with her work and how we clicked. Even my fiancé clicked with her! Lol. Fast forward to my engagement session, she already knew the vision I had for my photos. This was my first time getting professionally make up done and it went amazing. If you want BEAUTIFUL makeup done and laugh with your make up artist, then I fully recommend Elvi. I promise you will not regret it. I cannot wait for my wedding day!

I’ve even worked with, but again, I couldn’t get over how beautiful all of her brides looked from all of her social media posts. She’s incredible. I booked Elvi for my wedding day and right from the start she was so great with answering any questions I had and also answering in a timely manner. She lets her clients know that she is booked mostly every weekend (2-3 weddings to be real), and that she will get back to us once the week starts up. I loved how honest she was and how organized she was - this girl knows how to run a business. I scheduled my trial for 6 weeks before my wedding and on a day my mom would be in from out of town, that day was perfect! Elvi asked me exactly what look I was going for, she gave me options and opinions and just was so easy to work with. I loved that I was able to show her pictures and she got it, I trusted her to add her own touch to it and it came out perfect. I thought it was also really sweet that she takes care of her clients - we ordered lunch to her studio and she just was very welcoming and relaxed. My mom and I went home that day as happy as could be, I knew my wedding day look was totally taken care of and there was no need to worry. Fast forward 6 weeks, I had a crazy situation happen and ended up getting a last minute new wedding dress...of course that had my head spinning with new hair and make up ideas. I had reached out to Elvi in advance and she was super calm and also helpful in regards to the minor changes I was considering. She even found me the best hairdresser who we both get our extensions and color done with. On top of that, I woke up on the day of my wedding to the most insanely windy day and horrible thunderstorms...the weather no bride dreams of on her wedding day. We all showed up to my venue - wet - and worse, no power. Even though I was dying inside, Elvi and her two girls, Kelly and BC, showed up so calm and so relaxed...I had no choice but to do the same. Within 30 minutes the power came on and the weather started easing up. All of my bridesmaids started getting their hair and make up done, then I started with Elvi, and even though we had a late start, not once did any of us feel rushed. The girls took their time with all of us and even did touch ups. They were fun, chill, relaxed and super sweet. When I sat down in the chair to start my hair and make up I was very calm and knew I didn’t have to worry about anything. What I didn’t know, was that Elvi was going to literally out-do herself. If I told you I was blown away at my trial, then I was out of this world happy on my wedding day. She made me look like and feel the most beautiful I have ever looked and felt in my entire life. I was beyond in love with my hair and make up, I don’t even think I could have asked for anything to be different. I really appreciated that she stuck around with me to kind of touch up any little things once I had my dress and shoes on. She’s so sweet and really cares about her clients! Elvi and her team are ridiculously talented at what they do and I would recommend her to any bride looking for the best on her wedding day. BOOK HER! I promise that you will be taken care of and feeling like the most beautiful bride on your special day.

understand my vision, and it ended up being just what they wanted and that's that. They all ended up being very underwhelming experiences. Then, some time ago, I started following Lauren on Instagram, and saw that she had a way of making all her clients look gorgeous and confident, so I IG-stalked her for about a year, until I decided to contact her for a makeup and hair trail for my Mom and me as my wedding was coming up in February 2018. From the minute we walked into her studio, Lauren made us feel like we were all best friends. Her calm but fun demeanor even made my Mom feel at ease. She let me express myself with my vision for both my hair and makeup, I showed her some ideas that I had saved on my Pinterest, and she blew my expectations away by the time my trial was over. She made my Mom and I feel like queens (and my Mom is not too keen about wearing makeup). I booked her immediately, didn't even think about finding someone else for a trial. On my wedding day, she made the trek to my farm, and just blended in with my family and pets. She was able to give both my Mom and me a natural/soft/glam makeup look without everything being overpowering. She even managed to make my hair into a beautiful mane of soft curls with a braided updo that meshed perfectly with a hairclip my Mom made for me. My hair and makeup lasted for hours, late into the night, and withstood the afternoon heat. All of my pictures came out perfectly, and I couldn't have achieved it without her. I will always make sure to stay in touch with her for years to come!

bold with my glam and possibly wear my hair up. These decisions were so much more difficult than I could have anticipated and Elvi was available every step of the way to give her feedback and help me figure this out. Even more so, Elvi set aside additional time for me the day of my wedding to make sure we could really discuss my vision and bring it to life. Ultimately, my hair and makeup were absolutely flawless. I received compliments all night long and most importantly, I felt beautiful!

our big day! I would highly recommend Elvi for your special day.

lly saved my look and went above and beyond just doing my makeup. She also helped the photographer hang my dress on the curtain railing and overall added great vibes to our getting ready session. She asked me what type of music I wanted and let me know she was there just for me, (I wasn't rushed at all) which helps keep us brides calm since there is so much going on that day. Lastly, I felt comfortable being my authentic self around her, which means a lot to me. Highly Recommend!

absolutely gorgeous. Not only is she crazy talented but she has such a great personality I felt like she was one of my bridesmaids even dealing with me when the bridezilla kicked in. She is my forever go to for makeup!!

her purple hair, and her energy! Elvi and her team were so professional and truly exceeded all our expectations! She enhances your natural beauty (which lasts alllll night) and leaves you feeling guilt to wash it off because it’s so good! Whatever you want she does, and guides you to make sure you look your absolute best! I love people who bring a calming vibe and treats you like an absolute friend through the entire process and Elvi was just that!! I hope she knows she’s can never get rid of me because I have found my makeup artist for life!

her what you like and trust me you will definitely be in love with the results. If by chance you don’t like something (lipstick, lashes, etc) she will fix it for you without hesitation. On my wedding day she made me feel relax and all she had to say were positive things. We had to change our schedule less than a month before the wedding and I just texted her and in less than 3 days the new schedule was sent to my email. She has some other makeup artists working with her in case the wedding party is more than a certain amount of people. Kelly was the one to work with her on my wedding and she is great. I can’t thank Elvi enough. She is awesome.

nd makeup. She is the best!

My bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and make up as well. I had a large wedding party and she was able to manage all the girls. My friend used her for her wedding as well (I was a bridesmaid) and she was just as happy with services. Highly recommended!

beautiful bride in the world. Elvi and her team of queens came in with a mission, and it was to make us all look flawless. I went in with NO IDEA as to what I wanted to get done. Or what I wanted my girls to look like...but they figured it out! Not only did I love her, my mother loved her, and so did my bridesmaids. What else could you ask for? Ladies, if you’re looking to feel this way on your special day I would highly recommend Elvi’s services! Elvi, you were the reason why I felt like a goddess on my special day, and I can’t thank you enough for that. You’ll always be in my heart! Val

nd everyone had something to say about how great we all looked! I would definitely recommend her to all my friends who need hair and makeup!
