As a loyal and happy customer at Reverie Salon, I knew there was no other company I was going to…read moretrust and want to be part of my wedding team other than Kaizen Bridal. I am still glowing from how they made me feel 2 weeks ago as a bride. Anca is a ROCKSTAR--she truly listens to what you want and executes your vision FLAWLESSLY. I am not a person who wears a lot of make-up but wanted to go for an old Hollywood look for our black-tie wedding. This can be little tricky but Anca took notes as well as asked me for feedback as she created voluminous waves for my hair and a clean look with a bold lip. She was so patient with me as we took pictures to ask how I felt with my appearance on camera. Additionally, she went above and beyond to buy additional make-up for her kit that she knew would complement my vision for our wedding day. Being a COVID bride and needing to reschedule our wedding a few times-I asked if we could do a 2nd hair and make-up trial since it was over a year since my first one. Anca without hesitation said yes, let's do it! I truly felt like a polished version of myself that day and it stemmed from Anca being committed to making sure you love and feel your best as a bride. She answered my emails and texts about random questions quickly and enthusiastically: showing her excitement to work with us and provide us with her expert feedback Also, the wonderful perk is that she becomes a friend through this entire process, and you are at ease on your wedding day as you sit and chat with your bridal party and it doesn't feel like there is a stranger in the room. Now let's talk about the other key player of our H&MU team- Cici! Cici was our 2nd artist who did half of the bridal party as well as MOB's hair and make-up. All the ladies all raved about how Cici was able to see a few pictures of what they wanted and made sure they were 100% happy before getting up from the chair. Cici and Anca are the best duo, both are personable and fun which instills a sense of calm to the start of a whirlwind day. Can't thank them enough for how they made me and all the important women in my life feel! You will NOT regret having them as key players for your wedding dream team.

I am so happy I discovered Kaizen Bridal for my wedding. It was a very stressful decision for me…read morewhen considering a hair and make up vendor for my wedding. I had done a few trials with other vendors and wasn't thrilled with the results... until my trial with Kaizen. I worked with Kerra and she was nothing but professional and easy to work with. After my first hair and makeup trial (I did a trial prior to booking) I was so happy and Kerra nailed it. For my wedding hair trial Kerra did a wonderful job making sure I was happy with the results and ensuring it was everything I visioned for the big day. On the actual wedding day I had 3 stylist (Kerra, Sydney, and Grace) for the bridal party and moms of the groom/bride. Everyone showed up on time and were professional and friendly. My makeup and hair were exactly what I wanted and it lasted the entire night. Kaizen offers the option to keep stylist on additional hours and I chose to pay for Kerra to stay until I walked down the aisle. She came to our photos and made sure everyone was looking good including my husband. In addition, she retouched everyone's lipstick and even helped me with my dress at one point. This team did such a wonderful job and I am so happy I chose Kaizen Bridal for hair and make up on my wedding day. They knocked it out of the park!

I had two pre-wedding make-up trials with her, in order to decide what look I wanted. Each time she executed perfectly on what I requested.

I first came to her feeling so frustrated with my hair, but she listened to everything I was struggling with and completely turned it around. I'm a dark brunette with stubborn, color-resistant grays, but Sydney never misses a spot--even if it means letting the color sit a little longer, she makes sure it's fully covered and matched to my natural color every single time. She's insanely knowledgeable about hair health and products, and on top of that, she's just such a good vibe to be around. She always greets me with a huge smile and bright energy. I'm so glad I found her and can't wait to see the salon grow in the future!
