Oriana was AMAZING! My mom, sister, and I all got our hair and makeup down by Oriana and one assistant. They were so lovely and did a great job with no trial - she was super communicative and responsive throughout the booking and on the day of. I never felt stressed! I’ve received so many compliments on my hair and makeup from everyone who has seen my photos! Thank you so much
Oriana has my heart! First and foremost, an amazing and lovely person to be around (especially on a stressful day like your wedding)! She made me feel so calm and happy throughout the day with her positive energy which to be honest is the most important part for me. She is an absolute pleasure to be around!
As for my makeup, she listened to exactly what I wanted and things I am very picky about, like my eyebrows, and worked with me to perfect them as I wanted them to be. She kept it natural which I love because I don’t get my makeup done often and I still wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, but so beautifully done! She based my look off my features and my dress and added this beautiful glow to my lids that made them pop so beautifully!
I recommend her 100% for a big day like your wedding! I’m extremely picky and almost never happy when I get my makeup done but I can honestly say she made me feel so beautiful on my big day, and put the biggest smile on my face all day long! My maids of honor and mother also looked stunning and looooved their makeup so much!
Thank you so so so much sweet Oriana! You are a true gem!

Oriana helped make my day so special. She was so communicative through the whole process. She arrived early and helped make my hair and makeup exactly what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. She is extremely kind, professional, and experienced and made me feel like I was getting ready with a close friend. My makeup and hair looked amazing through everything that day (crying a little, a sprinkle of rain, and a windy boat ride). I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me get ready for my elopement!
I may have even no words for Oriana but let‘s try! Oriana made my makeup and hair to my wedding at Como Lake. First we did the trial with her a few days before and I have to say that I was a bit nervous since I am not used to have makeups and hair do‘s by professionals! Right after I met her, I felt so comfortable I was not maybe the easiest client with all white hair (also less hair) and eyebrows etc, however she did it perfectly! I could not wish more and I am more than happy that I was so lucky to have Oriana on my big day! Her professionality is next level and for me the really big part was also her personality!!! What a kind and bubbly person and she really cares of her clients. Eventho, I was not feeling that I am her client, more like a good friend! I already miss her!! Her lovely personality also helped me to reduce stress on my biggest day! I can only recommend Oriana! Lots of love
I couldn't have wished for a better make-up artist. I already liked Oriana during the trial and she did a beautiful and natural make-up and hair on me on the first try. Nothing had to be changed. I'm easily allergic to products, but Oriana responded to my needs and took good care. At my wedding we had so much fun with Oriana in the morning and she made my wedding so much more beautiful and special with her presence. I couldn't have wished for more beautiful make-up and hair. I can highly recommend her! Merci Oriana!!
Oriana was an absolute dream to work with! I did my makeup look and hair without a trial on my wedding day and she did such an amazing job. She knew exactly what to do to enhance my natural beauty without making it feel I was wearing a mask. Not only can she do makeup and hair like no other but she was also so lovely to talk with and she helped to calm my wedding day nerves. Never have I met someone able to interpret a clients wants as perfectly as her! Thank you so much for making me feel my most beautiful on my big day!
Absolutely loved having Oriana do my hair and make up for my elopement in Lake Como! She is such a joy and an overall lovely person to be around. I had sent Oriana inspo photos prior and she was able to execute exactly what I wanted. She was able to work with my Vietnamese features and provided me with a lovely soft glam look. She worked with my thin (pin straight hair) and gave me a beautiful updo. My hair and makeup stayed through the sun and rain (Lake Como weather can change in instant). Oriana went above and BEYOND with her services. My husband and I needed transportation from our Airbnb to our ceremony site and she so graciously gave us a ride. I am beyond grateful for Oriana and would recommend her to anyone needing hair and makeup services in Lake Como! Thank you Oriana!!
Oriana will make your wedding dreams come true! I was very nervous to find a vendor in Italy with whom I would not be able to do even a trial due to time constraints. However, Oriana is the utmost professional. She did the exact look I felt inside of me with very little direction. Oriana did my hair and makeup and it lasted from 9 am until late in the evening. And it lasted well i.e. my hair curls were strong and my makeup was precise. She is adaptable to any style, but the quality of her work will definitely shine through - none of that perfect dress, perfect location, ugly makeup depression. She is very much on-time. Beyond all of this, she is calm and kind and your friend. Grazie, bella!
Oriana was the best part of my wedding day. She made me feel so calm and relaxed and my hair and makeup looked incredible. She made me laugh while I was anxious and she is honestly worth all the money in the world. I am from the U.K. and she communicated with me so well and made me feel so ready for the wedding day. Thank you for being such a special part of my day!
Oriana did my hair and make up in Lake Como on October 7th and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her and her work. My husband and I eloped so it was just Oriana and I getting ready together. Our conversation was great, she put me at ease, and was a pleasure to simply be around. I wore my long hair down for the day and told her that sometimes my hair doesn’t hold curl for long. She did such a meticulous job of creating a lasting curl (I didn’t even need to do my hair the next day — just brush and go!) I was very nervous about my makeup because I don’t always love how makeup artists make me look but Oriana took all my inspiration photos and somehow made it work on me! I loved my makeup — it was such a natural, yet glamorous look. My husband even complimented me on my makeup because he said it looked great but I also looked like myself. Don’t hesitate on booking Oriana. She is so talented!
