If you need hair and makeup done for any event, Marianna is the one to go with. She did hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. With a couple pictures of what we wanted for hair she worked her magic. We all wanted natural makeup, which she stuck to, but, I had no idea I could look so good. Marianna stuck well to her timeline, and had some great stories to share with a nervous bride.

Marianna did such an amazing job for my wedding! She used airbrush make up that came out so great. I emphasized how much I wanted a natural look because my (future) husband loves my natural look. He said he had a hard time trying not to cry when he first saw me walking down the aisle! Everyone kept complimenting on how amazing I looked and what such a beautiful bride I made and I attribute that to Marianna. Thank you for excellent work and detail!

What a pleasant experience! Many of the details to my wedding had fallen through; however, when i arrived at Marianna's Tahoe Wedding Hair my whole day started to turn around. She was wonderful. She was positive, professional, and personable. Marianna listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered flawlessly. If you need a little bit of sanity and perfect hair for you and your bridal party on your wedding day visit Marianna.

Marianna was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to what I was looking for on my special occasion. Being a bride is very stressful and she was very patient. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family as well. I would go back to have her do my hair and make up for a special occasion or a girls night out.

Marianna is the most professional, charming hairstylist my wife have ever met. My wife is extremely grateful for her services. The small attention to details and the effort/dedication to make my wife's request a reality was incredible. Marianna is very talented with make up as well. Mi wife's make up was perfect. She managed to match her skin tone with the appropriate make up. We highly recommend her services to anyone. In our honest opinion. The expectations we have for hairstylist or make up artist is very high now. Regards, Billy & Eileen

Marianna is very professional. She came at our airbnb accomodation on time. I am glad I chose her to be my hair/make up artist on my wedding day. We showed her the picture of the hairstyle that we want and she made it happend! Exactly what we wanted. Me and my maid of honor and bridesmaids love our looks. I highly recommend Marriana! We are more than satisfied!

Fabulous experience! Would definitely recommend Marianna for hair and makeup. The lady we had scheduled to do our hair and makeup for my son's wedding canceled 3 days before the wedding. Marianna was able to move some appointments around to accommodate us (there were 4 of us). We were all very pleased with not only her work, but how engaging she was. As stressful as it was to have the original person cancel on us we were glad she did because of the great experience we had with her.

Marianna was very accommodating and did great work. She did hair and makeup for a wedding guest and myself. My guest looked lovely, and I was very pleased with my hair and makeup also. My skin was beautifully blended and natural, just as I requested. Marianna even practiced my hairstyle before I came in, because it was a new one for her. She definitely rose to the challenge!
My hair even stayed mostly in place overnight (despite wedding night activities;) ) so my husband and I were able to have photos taken the next day! I'd recommend her to anyone.

We found Marianna last minute as the girl who was originally supposed to do our make up cancelled 3 days before the wedding. She was friendly, helpful and did an amazing job. There were 4 of us ranging in age from 39-80 and we were all very happy with the way it turned out. I was looking for something very natutal, nothing too bold or dramatic with a little bit of color, and thats exactly what she delivered. She also did my mom (58 yrs old) and my grandmas (80yrs old) hair and it came out beautifully! Age appropriate for both and we couldn't have asked for more.

Marianna was very accommodating and professional! I was able to get an appt one week before my wedding day. She even squeezed in my mom on the day of. My make up and hair were beautiful which made me feel great all day! I highly recommend her for your beauty needs. She also let me change my mind about my hair right up until the appointment.

Marianna provided hair and make-up services for my recent wedding. She was able to come to our house, which made getting ready easy and convenient. Working with her was seamless and she was fun to have around as we got ready. She did hair and makeup for me, my mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. She had us budget about six hours total and finished with time to spare.
Since this was during COVID-19, she wore a mask the whole time and had us do the same until it was time to get our makeup done. As someone who does not wear makeup, I was happy with what Marianna did. Though I showed her some inspiration photos, she was able to gauge my comfort level with makeup and what would look best. My mom was also concerned about not looking like herself with makeup on and Marianna did a great job giving us both natural looks.
She created beautiful hairstyles for all us, both up and down. My mother-in-law loved her hair so much that she kept it in through the next day! Everyone wanted something a little different and she was able to execute it all skillfully. I would highly recommend Marianna for both hair and makeup services in the area.

Marianna was wonderful! From start To finish my experience was more than I could ask for. Marianna is prompt to reply to text messages. She arrived at my hotel room prepared and she is a magician with hair and makeup! I told Her I wanted a natural look and she delivered! I highly recommend working with Marianna. I relied on reviews when selecting my vendors and Marianna is first class!

My husband and I eloped to Tahoe the last weekend of 2019, we stayed at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel which is a 4 minute drive from Marianna's salon! Marianna did my hair the morning of my wedding and it was perfect! For me, my hair style was the biggest stress of my wedding day because I knew I couldn't do it! Putting your trust in a stylist you just met can be never wracking but Marianna was phenomenal!
She made me feel relaxed and welcome the moment I arrived and helped me reset my focus on enjoying my big day. She totally made my vision come to life after looking at some photos of what I wanted for my hair, a soft and elegant up do in 1 hour! I highly recommend Marianna, a skilled and hospitable, down to earth professional!

Marianna did my hair and makeup for my wedding ceremony on June 1st. I chose to come to her instead of using the hair salon at Harrah's Lake Tahoe (where I stayed the night before my ceremony) because she offers early-morning start times and has more reasonable prices. She promised I would look like myself only better and, WOW, she absolutely delivered on her promise.
My hair held up through the whole ceremony, which took place outdoors and had a light breeze. My makeup was airbrushed and did not need any touch-ups or reapplications. It was so light on my face that it felt like I wasn't wearing makeup! She also used some CC cream from her makeup line, Lake Tahoe Cosmetics, that took away the reddish glow on my face and evened out my skin tone.
In addition, Marianna made sure I stayed hydrated before my ceremony because she said it's very common to get headaches at such a high altitude. I passed the word onto my friends and family who attended my ceremony and there were no issues. I would 100% recommend Marianna. She was incredibly kind and helpful and eased my bridal jitters on my wedding day.

Marianna did hair and makeup for me, my bridal party, and my mother for my wedding and she did a wonderful job on everyone! I had never had my makeup done and I was unsure about getting regular makeup or airbrush. At my trial, Marianna generously offered to do airbrush at the normal makeup price so that I could see how it felt, what it looked like, and how it lasted.
The trial went well and I was very impressed with Marianna's work. The day of my wedding I decided to go with airbrush and I couldn't be happier. The weather on the day of the wedding called for rain and possible snow. While taking pre-ceremony wedding photos snow flurries began to fall and the wind picked up, but my hair and makeup held and lasted the whole day!
I was going for a natural look and Mariana nailed it! Communication with Marianna was great and easy. We communicated mostly via email and her responses were timely and clear. On the wedding day, Marianna arrived promptly at the bridal suite and got to work. She was on her feet all day and didn't take a break at all! Overall, I am very happy with Marianna's service and would recommend her to anyone.

Marianna's make up line 'Tahoe Cosmetics' helps me create my makeup look everyday! I'm obsessed with the XX volume mascara! Every time I wear it someone asks if I have falsies on! The brow ink and pen eyeliner are two products I use everyday. They have become a staple in my makeup bag check Marianna out she has so much knowledge and experience when it comes to makeup and hair

When Marianna was done with my hair and makeup, I was a little shocked that it didn't really look like me, but there was a method to her madness. I told her my face looks round in photos, so she applied heavy contour to make my cheeks more pronounced. I was a little worried it was too dark, but in the few teaser photos I received, the contour doesn't photograph as dark as one would expect.
She also gave me a little bouffant explaining it would elongate my face making it less round. Again, it looks great in the photos, but a little strange in the mirror. I think if you have time to do a trial run with hair and makeup I would recommend it, if you don't have time. TRUST Marianna as she knows what photographs well.

Marianna came to my room the morning of my wedding and styled my hair and my mother in laws hair. She also did my maid of honors hair and airbrush makeup. She was so friendly and helpful. Made me feel completely at ease and so beautiful when she was done. I would recommend her to anyone. I will definitely be using her next time were in town. Thanks Marianna!

I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about Marianna! I had my wedding this past Monday and she did my hair along with 4 others. She went above and beyond the entire time. She arrived on time and finished perfectly on schedule. Every one of us loved our hair and airbrush makeup. I am so happy I chose to use her. You won't be disappointed!

Thankfully Marianna was able to fit me in at short notice. We were able to communicate back and forth via email and I was confidant that she would meet my expectations. She honestly surpassed them and did an amazing job on my hair and make-up. Marianna is talented, skilled and simply delightful! I highly recommend her.
