I cannot believe it has taken me four months to write this post. Lani was everything you want in a stylist and more. Personable, professional, and damn good at her job. She did both my hair and makeup for my big day, as well as my maid of honor and flower girls hair. Not to mention she HANDMADE my hair accessories and they are absolutely stunning! Not only did I feel stunning but she also made it look as if I actually have a lot of hair when in reality I have about 3 strands. So grateful to have had her on my team that day. Highly recommend

Lani did bridal hair and makeup for me, my 4 bridesmaids, and my mother in law. It was so fun, stress-free and everyone looked stunning. The girls and I were so happy with our looks and they lasted all night! I highly recommend Lani’s work and she has the best energy to be around on your special day!

If you are wondering whether to book Lani with SoNu Bridal and Beauty, just do it! When planning my wedding away from my home state I found Lani and struck gold -- hair, makeup, and tattoo airbrush cover, 10/10 for all. She is amazingly professional & talented (listened and got what I wanted right away), in a vibrant and fun way, and a genuine person who made getting ready on my wedding day a sweet and memorable part of the day and made me feel so beautiful! In Lani's words, the real wedding day is "the trial on steroids" and that was 100% true. Cannot recommend SoNu Bridal and Beauty enough. Lani even got additional airbrush equipment for my tattoo cover, because she is that passionate about what she does for her clients.

I would highly recommend Lani and SoNu Bridal and Beauty to anyone who is looking for someone for their wedding! She is such an amazing person and incredible at what she does! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and my bridal party, mother of the bride and mother of the groom looked stunning. Lani is absolutely amazing and I cannot say enough good things about her!

Lani is absolutely the person you need on one of the most important days of your life for either hair, makeup or both- you will not be disappointed in the slightest! She truly listens to her clients and working with her threw all my past fears of getting my hair and makeup done professionally out the window. During my makeup trial I told her my past experiences of hair and makeup I did not like and gave her a few pictures of what I did like but ultimately left it to her expertise. She absolutely nailed my vision of how I wanted to look and made me look and feel amazing! Where Lani goes above and beyond other bridal beauty professions is with her handmade accessories. While in my trial I told her I had been scrolling on Etsy endlessly for hair combs and she offered to make me a custom piece which came out beautiful. It added such a personalized touch to my bridal look! On the day of my wedding, She was such a fun personality getting ready with my bridal party on the morning of my wedding and fit right in. She did hair and makeup for myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mother flawlessly. We even had to change our get ready location mid way through the morning which seemed to not be problem for her at all. She was such a calming presence on a very important and event filled day! I look back on pictures of the day and I seriously can’t get over how beautiful she made me look! Thank you so much Lani!!

Lani,
Without her I don’t believe my wedding would have been as seamless as it was.
I was struggling to find someone to work with me for my elopement, as most HMUA didn’t want to take me on being a solo bride, with no wedding party. This and the fact that I wanted both hair & makeup on location, was making it rather impossible to avoid going into a salon, and driving myself back to my wedding (talk about stressful).
Then came Lani, I met her at the Berkshires Bridal Show and thank God I did! She is the whole package and she was willing to work with me solo!
Everything was a piece of cake, from beginning to end. I used her for my elopement (9/9/23) and loved her so much, I had to use her again for my reception a couple months later. (11/11/23). She is kind, professional, and she is everything you need for your big day. She even makes custom hair pieces! Lani, you are hands down a master at your craft.
Thank you for making me beautiful for the biggest day of my life!

Lani was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in October of 2023. She is absolutely amazing at what she does. The best vibes, and the best results. I have never felt more beautiful in my life than on my wedding day and it is because of Lani! She took my inspiration pictures and did what I wanted, but even better than I imagined

I booked with Lani for my wedding hair and makeup and she is amazing to work with! She is on time, professional, and has a great personality which keeps the vibe fun considering getting ready takes hours. I had a larger bridal party so she brought someone else to help with hair (Lani did my hair) and they were also incredible to work with so you can trust her to bring in great partners. She is able to work with all skin tones and hair textures which put me at ease as myself and my bridal party were a mix. She made sure I looked and felt beautiful for my big day and I would HIGHLY recommend booking with her!

SoNU bridal and beauty did my wedding day hair and makeup and absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. Lani is amazing, kind, professional, and doesn’t settle for anything else than perfect for her clients. From start to finish the day was so well organized and relaxing. I felt so comfortable and wasn’t worried at all about being ready in time, I knew Lani had it all covered. My bridesmaids hair and make up looked gorgeous and I felt beyond beautiful. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night long. I can’t thank Lani and her team for making my wedding day an absolute dream. If you are looking for someone that does high quality work she is your girl!

Lani was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in May of 2024. I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is absolutely incredible at what she does, and she does it with so much kindness and love. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She instantly feels like a best friend that you’ve known forever when you meet her, and she makes sure that you look exactly how you want for your big day. I have had the pleasure of working with her a few times now, for bridesmaid hair and makeup, my trial, and my wedding day and every time she outdoes herself. She takes inspiration photos and ideas and makes them her own while also giving you exactly what you want for a look. Not only did she do my hair and makeup, but she did hair for almost my entire bridal party and mother of the bride as well. Everyone was so incredibly happy and felt so beautiful. Lani also made me absolutely stunning custom hair clips that matched my color scheme and flowers. She was incredibly easy to work with and helped make the day run so smoothly. I have never felt more beautiful in my life and she made my thick and long hair look stunning, and it stayed perfect the entire day, despite the strong winds! Lani is truly the best and you won’t regret having her apart of your wedding day! I will forever go to her for any hair and makeup needs!
