    Hair/Makeup for our Wedding day

    Kelly was our hair artist for our wedding. We had a preview day, and we didn’t totally settle on a hair do because I’m very specific and I couldn’t figure out what was right. I put my trust in Kelly. The day of, she said she had a great idea she had been excited to try. She nailed it. My hair exceeded my expectations. It was perfect for my vibes. It was classy, yet one of a kind.

    Our group was about 9 people. Kelly had Gina come to do the makeup. At the preview day, Gina followed my request of neutral makeup. Once I looked at it, I told her I didn’t want to see my skin, and I want to see my eyelashes from a mile away. She looked at me and said ‘Girl, you mean you want full Glam!’ I’m glad she understood what I wanted, even though I didn’t know myself. I looked amazing on the day, and the makeup made my eyes POP. I’ve had my makeup done by pros in the past, and they were never able to match me well. I usually looked worse. I was in heaven with Gina, I never expected to look that good! It was not good for my ego! She also wore pearls in her hair that day, and brought extras with. She knew I was a boujee bride. I of course told her I loved it and would’ve loved that, TG she came prepared with extras for me!

    The way Kelly and Gina understood me, and came prepared the day of for who I am, was amazing. They exceeded every expectation I had. I’m so thankful that they were my team!!!!

    Three time wedding client!

    Kelly has been the hair stylist for 3 weddings that I have been a part of over the last 15 years! My hair has been different each time and I have always looked amazing! This time, not only was the ceremony outdoors, it was windy with some rain. I danced the night away. My hair looked just as good at the end of the night (early the next morning) as it did at 8:00am when it was done! I’m not sure I have any more weddings for Kelly to do my hair for but I will for sure use her for other special occasions!
    Agnes was the makeup artist for the wedding and she made me look great! I didn’t look like I hadn’t slept in a week (OK I slept but not much) and my makeup held all night! This was my first time with false eyelashes and they were perfect! I will use Agnes for other special occasions as well!
