"Laken was absolutely amazing. Couldn’t love her more. For starters, me and my bridesmaids looked absolutely incredible. She was also prompt, full of positive energy and did an amazing job. She was meticulous and made sure all of our hair was to our liking before finishing. I would recommend Laken for any event; she is truly skilled at her craft and just an overall kind human."

Love notes
from our Brides
Hey, I'm laken!
Beauty has been my thing for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky enough to turn that love into a career for over a decade. I’m the artist behind Alexandra Weddings, where I get to combine my love for soft glam, romantic hair, and making people feel like the best version of themselves.
As a licensed cosmetologist and bridal hair & makeup artist, my approach is all about enhancing what already makes you you - never masking it or making you feel overdone. I love creating looks that feel timeless, effortless, and personal to each bride.
When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll probably find me with an iced coffee in hand, planning my next trip, shopping for something I definitely don’t need, or at home with my husband and our two cats.

“Laken is the BEST hair and makeup artist to have on your wedding day. Her professionalism is top notch. She made me feel so comfortable and calm in the middle of all the chaos. Her work speaks for itself, she is truly a magician! She did my makeup and hair for my engagement photos and wedding day and each time I was absolutely blown away."
Macey K.
"I had my bridal hair and makeup done by Laken for my wedding, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results! From the very beginning, she was so warm, professional, and responsive. During my trial, they really listened to what I wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and made adjustments until it felt exactly like me, just the most beautiful, elevated version."

“Laken made my fiancée and I feel so special when she did our hair and makeup for our engagement photos. My fiancée has NEVER liked wearing makeup, but after having it done by Laken she "wants to look like this everyday" (her words). Her studio space is so comfortable and Laken is professional and personable.”
