I booked Beauty Icon for my hair and makeup services for our NYC engagement photos. Coming from Colorado, I was nervous about booking beauty services from afar. I did research for weeks looking for a HMUA who could travel to the hotel where my fiancé and I were staying prior to our photos, and someone who would be available to do services during the busy wedding season over the summer. I found Beauty Icon and sent them an inquiry and they responded in just a few hours! I communicated with Oxana through email to set up our date and time for our photos in Manhattan; she was always very pleasant and friendly and answered any and all questions that I had. She assured me that my HMUA would travel to our hotel to do my services in our room, and after browsing through their photos and reviews, I was sold. Not only that, but the prices they charge for their services will not cost you an arm and a leg, which was another reason I booked with them. I was booked with Elena M for my services and sent inspo photos to Oxana for my hair and makeup that she shared with Elena. Leading up to the day Elena communicated with me via text and I found that incredibly helpful! The day of, she showed up on time to our hotel, got her space prepped, and got to work. Elena was super friendly, kind, funny, and very easy to work with. She used the best makeup products and I was very impressed with her work and the time she took to execute my services. We chatted and laughed and she made sure to show me how I looked throughout the process to make sure I was happy with everything. I felt like a 20/10 when she left and I very much enjoyed my time with her! If you’re looking for hair and makeup services in Manhattan, I cannot recommend Beauty Icon (and Elena M) more! You will NOT be disappointed!
