Beautiful service

I had such a good experience having Christy do my bridal hair and makeup. She really helped to calm my nerves and to trust in her. I ended up doing two trials with her, because I was really unsure of what I wanted. She even came to me to do my trial! She walked me through the whole process and encouraged me that the final look would be smoother on the day of because she would use more product. I liked that I did not need to have a minimum service count in order to book her. My wedding day was pretty hot, but my makeup and hair lasted through the whole event- there was even some drizzling at the end of our reception, but it all stayed! This picture was taken in drizzle. My makeup felt lightweight, like I wasn't wearing anything. My sister, who does not wear makeup, said the same thing. I would definitely recommend using Christy!

Perfection!

Christy was absolutely wonderful to work with and did a phenomenal job with my hair and makeup (as well as my MIL's hair + makeup and mom's makeup) on the day of my wedding! I have very fine hair and struggle to style it on my own, so was initially nervous that I'd be able to achieve the look I was hoping for (a pretty traditional low updo) but Christy reassured me that she would absolutely be able to achieve the look I was hoping for and did not disappoint. Christy was very communicative and friendly throughout the entire process, and I felt completely at ease and relaxed because I knew she was going to do a great job. Absolutely recommend doing the trial hair + makeup with her as well - that was a great opportunity for her to see how my hair styled and me to give thoughts/feedback on what I liked/didn't like before the big day.

Incredible!

Christy was wonderful to work with! She made it so easy from the beginning. I'm not a person that wears a ton of makeup and wasn't 100% sure what I wanted, AND on top of that, I live out of state so I wasn't able to do an in-person trial appointment. But Christy and I did a virtual meeting to talk about my ideas, and she made me feel at ease. She also came prepared with lots of different foundation shades which worked out well as me and my bridal party vary pretty widely in our skin tones. I was SO happy with how my makeup turned out - everything stayed put and I felt beautiful all evening!!!

Hair & makeup

Christy was amazing! She created beautiful hairstyles and makeup looks for my wedding at our trial and used great products so my makeup lasted the entire wedding day in 90 degree weather (outside wedding). She is very sweet, helpful and quick!

Loved my hair!

Christy was amazing. She made me look and feel beautiful for the big day. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and make up. Not only did she create wonderful hairstyles, she really put my nerves at ease. Christy and La’Kendra were professional and safety was the utmost importance. The hours flew by because we were all just having so much fun!! I cannot recommend her enough.

Christy and her team were a pleasure to work with. Christy was very responsive to my emails, and very accommodating of my requests (despite the fact that I changed the intinerary several times on her!). She assigned another stylist, La'Kendra, to take care of my bridal party for the morning of. La'Kendra had a very early morning wake-up call (she arrived at 5:45 AM), but she was one of the most pleasant and professional stylists that I've ever worked with! She designes five gorgeous hairstyles in five hours, and with very little direction made each of my bridesmaids shine in their own unique way. She was fast, talented and so friendly. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for these qualities.

Christy made this part of the wedding prep seamless and easy. It was great to have someone who was flexible with my family member's preferences and she did a wonderful job on all of our hair. All four of the family loved the results and so did I. I'm happy to report that after 4 hours of hard dancing and merriment my hair was still in place almost exactly as it had been when Christy set it.

I found Christy through wedding wire at the last minute. I called her in a panic about a month before my wedding because I couldn’t find anyone to do my makeup for my wedding day. She was very kind and luckily she was available for my wedding day. My makeup turned out amazing I was so pleased!!! I would recommend Christy for wedding makeup she was great!

Christy styled my hair and did my make-up (Elizabeth, violist from Chesapeake Strings) for our Chesapeake Strings photo shoot, and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Christy offered to travel to wherever I was, but I ended up meeting her at her house as it was on my way to our shoot. I emailed her a couple pictures of the style I wanted the day before our appointment, and she was able to replicate the style perfectly with my hair. Keep in mind, we didn't do a trial appointment so I was especially impressed that everything turned out the way I had hoped the very first time! I would definitely recommend Christy as she is flexible with scheduling and travel, a stellar stylist, and a genuinely kind person!
