Dear Helen and Kosta,

Matt & I would like to thank you for the professional services you gave us on our wedding day. Helen, you are a real sweetheart and a real pro! My hair looked the way I wanted it to look like and my make-up was perfect, natural and highlighting my best features. Kosta the funny gentleman, you captured some great moments on camera. Our pictures are amazing! Modern, romantic and natural! You both made us feel at ease and you were a great part of the perfect wedding we had in Santorini.

Thank you once more! Sincerely yours, Sarah & Matt (Montreal, Canada)

Dear Helen & Kosta, Thankyou so very much for helping make our wedding day so perfect…We were a little anxious upon our arrival in Santorini, as we weren’t sure of what to expect as our wedding was organised via emails alone. You quickly reassured our doubts, which made our special day so relaxing. I was extremely happy with my hair & make-up, your attention to detail & professionalism is 1^st class. Helen you made me feel so beautiful, Thankyou xxx Kosta you are amazing… We are ecstatic with our beautiful photographs. It’s impossible to pick only 1 as our favourite, there all perfect. Many of our friends cant grasp how beautiful Santorini is and have said It looks like we're in a studio... I'm sure you will continue to thrive on the amazing island Santorini, as you are both wonderful at what you do:) Would love to catch up when you return to Australia. We had an awesome time with you on our last night. Will keep in touch… Take Care of both of you!

Love Always & Forever Simone & Ryan (Newcastle/Australia)

Hi Kosta,

Just a quick thankyou for your fantastic photos. We are so pleased. Just what we had in mind.

Enjoy Santorini!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Thanks again Michael, Kirstin and son, Cole Regan ( United Kingdom )

We are now back in the cold and raining United Kingdom but we have our very happy memories of our wedding in Folegandros.We have logged onto your website when we were in Athens airport and we saw our photographs, they look wonderful. We would like to say again 'Thank You'  Helen and Kosta for your help and company too. What we heard about Kosta was right about Kosta's work, his photos look great!! We are looking forward to getting the disc and prints, & one of his 'electronic photo frames'. So once again big hugs and kisses from South London and thanks for a wonderful experience. If you are ever in London and are free please mail us and we would love to meet up with you for a drink and a chat.

Yassas Helen & Kosta, We just got back from our honeymooon in Italy and wanted to extend our gratitude toward the wonderful work both of you did. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I am hoping somebody over here can do half as good as you both did for our wedding reception. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and the hair stayed perfect all night. We look forward to returning to Santorini one day, I can understand why you both moved there, it was picture perfect.  

Hello dear Helen and Kosta! Everything was even better than we had imagined!!!! Make up and hairstyling was absolutely perfect!!!! You are stronger than wind!!! Our wedding was the best it could be, even more ... and you were one of the creators of this wonder. Thank you so much for your help, advice, psyhological support and everything you did for us.
Andrei and Natasha ( Mr. and Mrs. Kotovich )

Hi Helen, thank you soooo much for your help in making my wedding day run smoothly.  I was a bit last minute with my hair, almost not booking a hair stylist at all, but I am SO glad I did! You took all the stress out of it. You weren't phased at all when you arrived for my hair trial and I still wasn't exactly sure what style I wanted!  You listened to the small amount of ideas I did have, added your own, and I was really really pleased with the result - and also had lots of positive comments on my hair from my guests.  As you will know, I have a lot of hair, and so was worried about an 'up do' lasting, but I needn't have worried.  Despite it being a beautiful but VERY windy day, my hair stayed put throughout the service, reception, and some crazy dancing :-)   I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to anyone looking for a hairstylist for their wedding day.  Along with being very good at your job, your friendly nature fit in perfectly with a bride and bridesmaids excitedly getting ready for the big day. Thank you thank you thank you.
Take care, and maybe see you again in Santorini...we will definitely be coming back! Caroline Collins x (Falmouth / England )

Dear Helen & Kosta, thank you Kosta for styling my hair for the Wedding, he did a fantastic job and everyone was commenting on how amazing my hair looked, he also made me feel very relaxed at a time when it was needed :-)  Thank you also for doing my guest's hair....

Nicola Smith (Essex / United Kingdom)

Dear Helen & Kosta, being in a different country sometimes you don't know what to expect. That's why we were thrilled that we found you for our wedding. Your professionalism, expert knowledge and great personalities helped make it a memorable day. 

Thanks again and all the best  Vicky & Peter (Melbourne/ Australia)

Dear Helen & Kosta, 

Thankyou so much for making me look so special on my wedding day, I can't believe that you could transform me so! You immediately knew how to style my hair to suit me & the make-up was fantastic, even staying put while I cried during the ceremony! Our photos are beautiful, so artistic we both keep looking at them through the TV, they are so natural, we love them. Just wish we could do it all again, it seems like a wonderful dream now.

Take care & thanks so much again Carolyn & Rob Stanton (Manchester / United Kingdom)

Helen & Kosta, we hope you are both well and not working too hard?! We are now home and missing Santorini already, it all feels like a dream now :o(   thankyou sooo much for working so hard on our wedding day, you did a fantastic job with everyone's hair & makeup and with the photos, you were both a joy to work with. We would recommend you to anyone, & I'm just sad that I won't get a chance to get you to do my hair & makeup again. I really hope we will make it back to Santorini next year, & it would be really lovely to meet you both again.

Love from Carole & Rich (United Kingdom)

Wow!

What a transformation, I'm absolutely delighted. Helen, you knew exactly what I was wanting . A huge THANKYOU to you for the easy afternoon chit-chatting in front of the caldera - Couldnt have been a better way to start my wedding day..

All the best Lisa (New Zealand)

Hi Helen & Kosta! Well we made it back home from our "unforgettable" wedding/honeymoon. First of all we want to thank you guys for the pictures...they are spectacular! The rest of our trip was wonderful...we miss Greece! Again thank you both for sharing our special day with us... we had a blast and have the pictures to prove it.

Ciao Maria & Manny (Miami/ Florida )

Helen demonstrated a high degree of professionalism throughout our time together. Her style was very relaxed, which in turn helped me remain calm during a highly stressful time for me. She was unbelievably well prepared during our initial consultation together & offered countless helpful suggestions. Our wedding day session was also a very pleasant experience, she did all the right things at all the right times.The final thought I'd  like to leave with anyone considering using Helen is that she truly enjoys what she does, a fact that makes the entire experience enjoyable.

Jennifer Meadows-Walker ( Missouri / USA)

Helen & Kosta, thank you so much for my lovely Make-Up & Hair, you both really made the day a more relaxing experience, & were so helpful.

Yoko ( Tokyo / Japan)

Thank you so much Helen for all your help with my hair & make-up, it's absolutely wonderful. Thanks for making my day very special. I wish you all the very best for the future.  On the wedding day they visited our room and provided a first class hair/make up service. In fact Helen was a great help in assisting getting ready for the wedding ceremony along with the wedding organisers.

Andrea Murray-Walker ( Annan / Scotland )

I can't imagine what I would have done without you to complete my hair & make-up for my wedding day. You were so great to put me at ease & the make-up looks so glamorous, my hair was just as I had imagined ( just like the photo I showed you) I love, love, love what you did to make me over.                                                                  

Most Gratefully Olivia Kirkpatrick ( Atlanta GA / USA)

Thank you a million times for making our wedding so special & beautiful. Everything went so smoothly which was a great relief for us given the stress that weddings bring about. My make up & hair was so natural & beautiful. And our wedding pictures are amazing which is testament to Kosta's artistic talent. They were unpretentious & so natural which made them very special. We will always treasure them. We wish you all the best for the future.                                                       

Ceyda & Takis (London/ UK)

Thank you so much for being a part of my wedding day. My hair, make-up & nails all look absolutely perfect & I can't wait to see the look on Michael's face when he sees me. My family was very worried about how I would look since I wasn't getting married at home & arranging everything myself, but they will ooh & aah when they see the pictures. You are so friendly & made the afternoon so relaxing & fun, what more could a bride ask for? I won't need you to help me for any more weddings, but if I did you'd be the 1st person I'd call!  Thank you for such a wonderful day & I hope your time in Santorini is everything you've ever wished & more.                                                                     Allison( Washington DC / USA)

Fantastic service & really appreciate you listenning & understanding what I wanted in my up do before we started. Very reassuring, friendly but professional service. Can't go wrong with two Australians.
