I've spent the past 14 years perfecting bridal beauty in the tropics — a craft that asks for more than skill with a brush. Heat, humidity, and an entire day of photographs demand makeup and hair built to hold, on skin that's rarely seen so much sun.
Based in Koh Samui, I lead a team of makeup and hair artists serving couples travelling here from across the world.

— Katie, BrideLook no further! Polina is your girl!!! I could not have been happier with her makeup skills. Plus her personality is amazing! She is so friendly and makes you feel like family. My mother in law only speaks Russian which I can't speak and Polina was nice enough to help with translating. What a pleasant surprise! Anyways, Polina was punctual, professional and knew exactly what she was doing. You can truly sense how much Polina enjoys her talent and cares about how you feel with the results.
Lila was just as spectacular! I don't know what magic she gave to my hair but I took the risk of not doing a hair or makeup trial. And my hair will not hold a curl for longer than 15 minutes back home in California. So I took a huge risk with having her do the Hollywood waves for my wedding hair in such high humidity but I was SO HAPPY I did. My curls were absolutely stunning and lasted me through the ceremony and pictures. And even after the curls deflated a bit they still looked so nice because they still looked like soft waves. INCREDIBLE.
I did not show Polina any inspiration pictures I just told her to do what she thought suited my face. Polina told me what her plan was before to confirm I agreed and I said I trust you and thank goodness I did. I loved my natural soft pink makeup. It didn't look caked or didn't hide my natural features. She made me glowing in the best way possible and I still felt like myself. All my bridesmaids loved their work as well.
If you want to feel absolutely beautiful and confident on your wedding day, book Polina and her team. You won't regret it. 1000/10. Thank you so much Polina and Lila!
I cannot recommend Polina and her team highly enough. They did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.
Communication was fantastic throughout the planning process—Polina was always friendly, responsive, and professional. When we decided to change the timing of our wedding due to a forecast of rain, Polina and her team accommodated the change without any hesitation or questions, which took a huge amount of stress away during an already busy time.
On the day itself, the service was amazing. Everyone was warm, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxing. Most importantly, I was absolutely delighted with both my hair and makeup—they looked beautiful and lasted throughout the day.
Thank you to Polina and her wonderful team for helping make my wedding day so special. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, reliable, and professional hair and makeup artists.
Polina and her team were absolutely incredible. I can't recommend her services highly enough! From the beginning, Polina was warm, responsive, and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease throughout the process. I was nervous about the humidity and whether my hair and makeup would last, but everything stayed flawless all evening due to the products she used. The professionalism of the entire team was exceptional.
We had hair and makeup for 10 people, and every single person was so happy with the results. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience exceeded expectations.
Thank you for helping make the day so special! ❤️
