    • Kinfe G. ★★★★★ T’A’la Mode Beauty made me feel absolutely beautiful, confident, and truly like the best version of myself. Not only was the work flawless, but the entire experience was so fun, calm, and reassuring which meant everything to me. For both my pre-wedding shoot and wedding day, the team was incredibly punctual (which every bride knows is a big deal!), and I never once felt stressed or worried. Mrs. Tito worked efficiently without ever compromising on quality or excellence. My makeup lasted for hours even through an outdoor wedding in the Lagos sun! It stayed flawless from start to finish. Thank you again for your talent, your amazing energy, and for being such a special part of one of the most important moments of my life. I’m beyond grateful.
    • Yewande G. ★★★★★ T.alamode is gifted, not just with her hands but also her energy. If you want to be treated with respect, love and care, book her as your make up artist. T.Alamode beauty is an experience you can never forget. Thank you for making me feel at peace on my wedding day.

All I wanted to learn was to do my own makeup but I was amazed on how she goes into detail teaching both the theory and practical parts of doing good makeup. I feel confident moving forward. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking to bring their makeup game to the next level. Kelz also offers a range of other services such as eyebrows, eyelash extensions, nails etc…ONE STOP FOR ALL🥰

    • Dolapo O ★★★★★ House of Rheevo is such an excellent and extremely professional business. Every single member of the team met me with such warmth, kindness, professionalism, and excellence that left me and even my friends and family in awe. To say I had the most incredible experience with House of Rheevo on my wedding day is to put it lightly. Her skill level was unmatched, she understood my vision and executed it flawlessly giving me a very timeless look that I know years and years from now I’d look back and still be proud. The Creative Director and founder (Tosin) is an excellent human and I’m a huge fan of her work ethics. Her exceptional makeup skill, her warmth and professionalism truly stood out for me. The team arrived on time, came fully prepared, let’s just say the team went above and beyond and carried such a calming presence that made my wedding morning feel smooth and stress free. As a deluxe bride, I believe the deluxe package is arguably the best makeup package any intending bride would get out there. From my pre-wedding, to civil wedding, to my traditional wedding makeup, and finally my white wedding and reception makeup, House of Rheevo did an exceptional job and at no two event/instance did I have the same look, I’m thoroughly impressed to say the least. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. HOR exceeded every expectation, and I am so grateful for the team. I wholeheartedly recommend HOR a million times over. She is truly gifted at what she does and carries a very strong and efficient team. (Bonus point: HOR studio artists are also as good and talented, they took care of my mum and some bridesmaids and they looked ravishing ).
