Ali and Krysta of Style Retaliation were absolutely the best vendor we chose for our wedding. Our hair game was on point - all day! They were so accommodating and gave my bridesmai...
ds exactly what they were envisioning (all 9 of us plus my mom!) My hair and makeup was perfect, Ali was super flexible about doing a trial beforehand, and Krystal even helped me steam my dress on the day of! True professionals and the best looking hair and makeup I’ve seen at a wedding yet (promise I’m not biased!). Best money we spent. Love these ladies!
Ali and her team were phenomenal! She made me feel my absolute best on my wedding day - I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Would definitely recommend!
Ali provided services for my wedding and a boudoir photo shoot and I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was to work with her. She is a wonderful person who took the tim...
e to really understand how I wanted to look for each of these events and the final product (for both things) took my breath away. The make-up and hair looks flawless and stunning the photos and I felt amazing the day of the wedding. She found a way to highlight my favorite features and make me feel like a goddess. Her colleague Kristen helped with the wedding day and EVERYONE in the bridal party looked so polished and glamorous! And, all their hair and make-up held through the entire day - a small miracle! I am incredibly picky about my hair and make-up and I would absolutely recommend Ali and Style Retaliation to every bride and anyone interested in photo shoot make-up. It was by far the best hair/make-up experience I have ever had. They went above and beyond to personalize each style and the product was outstanding! I would give them 10 stars if it was an option :)
Ali is so amazing. She was timely, professional, and so great at what she does. She Knew what I wanted even though I didn’t really know how to describe it myself! I would and HAVE ...
sent other brides her way and they have all had the same awesome experience that I did!! You won’t be disappointed with Ali!!!

ovided a lot of helpful information and kept me on track. She listened to everything and provided insights/opinion when I was unsure. The trial went great and the few makeup changes I requested before my wedding day were handled very well so I was super comfortable going into the day. I had 6 bridesmaids and 2 mom's all getting hair and makeup along with myself and they were on-time and got through everyone quicker than expected (even with a few touch-ups) and everyone was so happy and beautiful! Great experience!
Absolutely the BEST!! Ali and Krysta were fantastic!! Ali was so great throughout the whole process, she truly got the look that I was going for and she was available when ever I h...
ad a question. The whole bridal party had a great time and it is so seamless to have them come to you. Truly I can’t recommend them enough. I will certainly use them again for other events and parties. Thank you again Ali and Krysta, you made the most special day of my life perfect!!

e to get both my hair and makeup done, while the rest of my bridal party opted for just hair. The morning of the wedding, Ali and Krysta did an excellent job listening to what everyone wanted, and making suggestions so that everyone looked and felt beautiful. They also kept perfectly to their schedule to get everyone done on time. I would definitely recommend Style Retaliation to anyone!
This was my second time having my hair and makeup done by Style Retaliation. They are fantastic! They have done four weddings total now between my group of friends, and they’ve kno...
cked it out of the park every single time. Their pricing is very reasonable for the service they provide. We had the bridal suite rented out starting at 8am the morning of our wedding. They were prompt and got through all of us in a timely manner, even finishing earlier than expected! In total, they did hair and makeup for me, 8 bridesmaids, my mom, my sister, and my niece (flower girl). Ali was great at responding to emails/questions leading up to the day… and all four girls who were helping us out were fun to hang out with! They did a great job at listening to what each girl wanted, looking at the photos of ideas they had, and absolutely nailing it. I trusted them from past experience, didn’t do a trial, and they did a perfect job. My hair and airbrush makeup looked flawless all night, and I wish I had another wedding coming up so that these girls could come beautify us all over again.
I can't say enough about Style Retaliation! Ali is wonderful and the whole team is fun and professional. I had five bridesmaids, an attendant, and three moms. We were all really h...
appy with our hair and makeup. I would recommend Style Retaliation to anyone getting married!
Absolutely amazing! The ladies were not only talented but very personable. They got an entire bridal party through in record time without feeling rushed. They even took on a couple...
last minute requests. These gals were chipper and offered great conversation, especially for 7am on a Saturday. I highly recommend this company. They will make you look amazing on your special day!
WOW. Ali and her team are the best of the best. I have never felt or looked better or had more fun than when Ali did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. ...
Ali and her team are incredibly organized, reliable, and flexible. Even with schedule challenges (bridesmaids showing up late, etc.) they stayed positive and adjusted the schedule with ease. I was so excited for the wedding morning, and I couldn't have imagined it going as perfectly as it did with Style Retaliation. To me, wedding morning was an important event of the day that I wanted everyone to enjoy. Ali and her team made it so fun with their fun-loving and kind personalities. Also, the hair and makeup artistry alone was phenomenal! My makeup looked the same at the beginning of the day as it did before midnight. That has NEVER happened to me. My hair also stayed in place all day and night! The same was said and felt by each of my bridesmaids, too. They felt truly beautiful all day and night. It was awesome to have everyone feel so beautiful and perfect on the best day of my life. Thank you so much to Ali and her team! You guys really are the best.
Krista and the entire team were amazazing! We used them for my best friend's wedding this past weekend and I only wish I had found them sooner so I could have used them at my weddi...
ng. Great job!!
I have known Ali for quite some time as our families are close friends. Ali actually did my hair at my JUNIOR PROM in high school! This was before she had this amazing business! ...
I knew right away when I got engaged that I had to have Ali do my hair and makeup as I have seen her progress her work through the years. She is so easy to talk to, personable, and trustworthy. So when June 10th rolled around I knew I had nothing to worry about. Ali and her team were beyond amazing! They arrived to our wedding venue (out by St. Cloud) bright and early and actually beat me (the bride) there. I never once was worried for time and the time getting ready with Ali and her team member was so relaxing. Ali did a great job at making me feel like myself as I am not a huge "makeup" type of girl. Everyone was beyond happy with both their hair and makeup. All of my bridesmaids agreed it was the best hair they have ever had done for a wedding! I can't say enough good things about Ali and her business! Thank you for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
Ali and her team were amazing! She is extremely organized and reliable which was a gift in itself on the most hectic day of your life :) I had myself, 7 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, a...

e, black, Chinese and Italian skin tones was very very important to me. All my ladies looked stunning and felt very comfortable throughout the entire day. Ali really cares that you love your look. She is also very kind and patient. After I had my hair done and Ali did my makeup I had a minor bridal meltdown and decided I wanted to change the look at the last minute. Ali didn't even flinch, she just worked with me to reapply my makeup and make sure I felt 100% comfortable with how I looked that day. I had so many compliments from people at the end of the night about how "perfect" I looked despite hours of dancing. She knows her stuff, and I recommend you book her for your wedding too.
I am so glad that I chose Ali and Style Retaliation for my hair and makeup! One of my friends used her for their wedding and it turned out beautifully so I knew that they would be ...
a good choice for my own! From the start, she was so easy to contact and would respond so quick! I always knew what the plan was. On the day of the wedding, they showed up early and were ready to go! They had sent me a schedule a few weeks before the wedding, so we knew who would be getting their hair and makeup done throughout the morning; it was so efficient! We had 7 people in the bridal party doing hair (updos) and make-up (airbrush) and Ali and Krysta kept the whole group moving throughout the morning! They made us all feel so comfortable and they were great at bringing our ideas to life. Most of us had Pinterest ideas, but were indecisive, and they were great at coming up with something beautiful! They could easily work with a little or a lot of direction which is good when you have an indecisive group. My hair is very thick and long and Ali came up with a new idea as to how to get it to stay throughout the day, which is not an easy thing to do! Everyone looked flawless and photo ready from start to finish! Every interaction I had with Ali was wonderful. She was so fun and personable and just cool!She was also very organized and had clear communication, which is so important and helpful during wedding planning. I am grateful for Ali and her team at Style Retaliation. You helped make our day BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much!!
Ali is absolutely incredible both as a person and as a hair and makeup artist. She made me feel at ease throughout the whole planning process and on the morning of my wedding day. ...
She did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, walked me through a trial run of my hair for the wedding day, and put together a stunning look for my wedding day. I can say without hesitation that I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day! My entire bridal party looked stunning as well! Thank you so much Ali!!
I can't thank Ali enough for the work that she and Krysta did for my May wedding! They arrived at my sister's house at 6:45 am and did hair and/or makeup for 7 of us nonstop until ...
10:45 am. Ali had done a trial run for my hair and was able to recreate perfectly the look I was going for. She stopped three times and had me look at it during the process, receptive to changes and ensuring it was exactly right. I had not done a makeup trial but wanted a natural look, and she did a phenomenal job. I received countless compliments on both hair and makeup throughout the day, but more importantly, I felt lovely. Krysta did both my mother's and the mother of the groom's hair and makeup, also receptive to the changes they requested. Both mothers looked stunning.
I cannot recommend Style Retaliation highly enough! They had a large hand in making the day perfect, and I am so thankful for them both.
First, and most importantly, Ali and her team are amazing! I got married earlier this year and was beyond thrilled with my experience with Style Retaliation and the overall hair an...
d makeup outcome. They are so easy to work with, are prompt at answering questions, are easy to contact with last minute makeup changes, and are incredibly talented. They worked with nearly everyone in my bridal party and everyone loved the way they looked. Ali and her team are wonderful at helping people look and feel beautiful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is seeking hair and makeup services for a special event- particularly weddings.

Ali and team were AMAZING! I would recommend (and have) Style Retaliation to anyone with an upcoming wedding. My October 21st wedding was in Red Wing, MN, about an hour south of th...
e cities, and Ali and team showed up on time and ready to roll. I had 5 bridesmaids, myself and 2 mothers receive services and every single person was over the moon excited about their hair and makeup. Multiple bridesmaids commented that this was the best wedding hair and makeup team they have ever had, and I couldn't agree more. Ali is so sweet and so accommodating. She made me feel like a million bucks, and even gave me a bit of lipstick to carry with me throughout the day for touch-ups at no extra cost. Her services are beyond affordable and I would choose Style Retaliation all over again with absolutely no hesitations. Thanks Ali and team!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED working with Ali for my New Years Eve wedding. She and Krysta did makeup for a total of 9 people (I think...it all went by so fast..) for my wedding and it was mo...
re like a fun, girly party than getting ready for a wedding. We had a wonderful time and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. They were willing to come out to my hotel and made everything incredibly easy and fun on my wedding day. She is the best and I would absolutely recommend her for bridal hair and makeup needs!
From the first contact while searching for a hair and makeup vendor to the big day Ali was so easy and pleasant to work with. She truly knows what will look great and made me, a wo...
man who doesn't wear much makeup, feel beautiful and natural with makeup on at both my engagement shoot and on my wedding day. I have truly never felt more beautiful :) On the wedding day Ali and Krysta showed up early, turned our hotel suite into a little salon, worked their magic and made me, my bridesmaids and my Mom all look fabulous. Everyone was so happy with their look and equally importantly Ali and Krysta made the environment relaxing and fun and my bridesmaids are still commenting on how awesome they were and how fun it was all getting ready together. Thanks Style Retaliation for making my wedding morning such a wonderful memory and for making us all look our very best! :)
Ali and her Style Retaliation Team are amazing! Ali is professional, personal, and very talented. I went into this whole process not knowing much about hair or makeup. She was able...
to polish a look that was bridal and beautiful- I was completely confident. They are easy to work with and went out of their way to make us comfortable. I would highly recommend them!
Ali was incredible!! I initially met her through another friend's wedding, and knew I had to use her services when I got engaged. She was incredibly flexible with the packages and ...
accommodated me when my initial hair person fell through at the last minute.
Her team is efficient and got our large bridal party beautiful and ready for the day in no time! We had 10 people in the bridal party doing hair and make-up and she brought 3 people and kept the whole group moving through out the morning! Ali's team was really great at making your ideas come to life. They could easily work with a little or a lot of direction which is good when you have an indecisive group.
When the videographers had me read my wedding day letter from the groom right after I was finished with hair and make-up I stupidly forgot any tissues and cried my make-up off. Ali swooped in immediately and fixed it to perfection.
I had been talking up Ali and the airbrush make-up for months to my bridal party and it did not disappoint. Everyone looked flawless and photo ready from start to finish! The airbrush and fake eyelashes are a must and the fake eyelashes she uses are very comfortable and lasted all night!
Every interaction I had with Ali was wonderful. Not only was she a kind and fun person to work with, but she was organized and had clear communication. Her ability to take credit cards made payment very easy for me and all of my bridesmaids. I can't say enough good things about Ali and Style retaliation!! I was so happy with how the day of and all the preparations went leading up! Thank you Ali for making this such an incredible day!!!!

mpletely professional and fun to be around while getting ready for your big day. I highly recommend using Style Retaliation for your wedding or special event! They take the stress away from the day. No need to worry about doing hair and makeup yourself. They can take care of everything and you can take it off your mind for the rest of the day. We now have memories (and pictures) we can cherish for a lifetime, thanks to Style Retaliation!

ridesmaids who like to wear just a little makeup, nothing dramatic, and they managed to give them a fun and special look without going overboard. I looked *exactly* how I wanted to. Krysta used some makeup that I'd purchased myself, in combination with hers, and applied it expertly in a way I never could have done myself. I HIGHLY recommend her (and Charity)!

An absolute joy to have around while getting ready for the big day, from the trial run to the final preparation. She is very skilled and reassuring. Not only did hair and makeup look beautiful throughout the wedding - it still looked great the next day. Having never done this before, it was a real treat for this mother to be styled by Ali. I highly recommend Style Retaliation!!!!

Ali did a beautiful job on my makeup and hair for my friend's big day! I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted for hair or makeup, but Ali took my minimal suggestions and cr...
eated a look that was unique, personalized and just what I wanted. For myself, she wasn't afraid to use color (which I suggested) but for others she made a very subtle look. Her makeup was very versatile. She also was able to work with a variety of hairstyles (short, long, corse & fine.) She was so fun to chat with and was easy to work with. I also noticed when the bride wasn't completely satisfied she had no issue starting over to ensure the bride got what she wanted. Great customer service! Also, a very important thing to note, she was on time! Highly recommend!

iastic. She had a baby right before my wedding so she wasn't able to do my hair and makeup, so I worked with Krysta. Krysta did a wonderful job- I enjoyed having a trial run to make sure that everything would go as planned and she made sure my wedding day hair and makeup was even better than we had practiced. Both my hair and makeup lasted all day (I chose airbrush makeup). The other artists that came for my bridesmaids all also did great jobs- one of my bridesmaids' hair looked almost exactly the same a day later! All in all, with the trial run and airbrush makeup, I spent quite a bit more than I would have liked. However, the quality of the work and all aspects of working with Style Retaliation made it worth every penny. I would highly recommend them. Thanks ladies!

Spending that time with all of the favorite women in my life is one of my favorite memories of my wedding day. Thank you Ali and Crystal for sharing your talents with us and for making all of us ladies feel and look amazing.
