Detailed and Communicative Artist

I unfortunately did not move forward with Akiyo for logistic reasons on my end; otherwise I would have. She was my first choice. She was responsive, very detailed in communication and technique, very patient, polite, and has a great portfolio for both hair and make-up (just look at her instagram).I would highly recommend Akiyo for any bride. Hopefully I will be able to work with her on a different occasion.

Wedding on 4/26/24

Akiyo is so amazing! From when I first contacted her to my wedding day, she was responsive, professional, and kind. We scheduled a trial, and afterwards, I had a few changes I wanted to make; Akiyo understood my vision and executed it to perfection. She was also flexible when a family member of mine wanted to get her makeup and hair done as well the day of. She made me feel so comfortable and made me look exactly how I wanted, staying true to myself. Makeup and hair stayed no problem throughout the day and lots of dancing! I would 100% hire her again!

Thoughtful expert and so fun!

It was a true pleasure to work with Akiyo. I’m always nervous doing makeup with someone else due to my brown skin/ability to work with my complexion and because I love make up so have some exacting expectations. Akiyo is not only a true professional, she did the perfect look for me and was so fun and charming in the process. Thank you for making me feel like a city hall bride queen Akiyo!
