Bridal Hair & Makeup Artist in Santorini

About Jozefina — destination bridal beauty since 2010.

My name is Elina Chaltceva, though most of my brides know me as Jozefina. I am a Santorini-based hairstylist and makeup artist creating elegant, long-lasting beauty for destination weddings, elopements, and editorial-style photoshoots in Greece and beyond.

I began my career in Moscow in 2010, working professionally in beauty and attending numerous seminars and masterclasses that refined my technique, product knowledge, and understanding of diverse faces and styles. Over the years, my work has taken me from Russia to Greece and the United States, including weddings and beauty projects in Miami, always with the same focus on refined, camera-ready results.

What matters most to me is creating a look that feels beautifully aligned with the woman wearing it. I work with care, precision, and a calm approach, tailoring each hairstyle and makeup look to the client’s features, personal style, setting, and the day's atmosphere. Whether the vision is timeless and understated or more defined and glamorous, my goal is always the same: to create beauty that feels effortless, polished, and true to you.

With experience across diverse skin tones, hair types, and beauty directions, I approach each booking thoughtfully and individually. My work is rooted in years of practice, continuous professional education, and the belief that the best bridal beauty is not about transformation, but about refinement, confidence, and presence.

If you are planning your wedding, photoshoot, or special event in Santorini, I would be delighted to hear more about your plans.
