I had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Sabrina at Avalon Institute, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! She did an amazing job, and I was genuinely impressed with her skills. What stood out to me was her enthusiasm and passion for making you feel and look good, even as she continues to learn and grow in this art. Sabrina made the whole experience fun and enjoyable, and her friendly demeanor put me at ease right away. I would definitely give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and delightful makeup artist!
