Amazing hair and makeup!

Heather was PERFECT for our wedding day! She was super communicative on the lead-up, showed up RIGHT on time, and has such a good and fun vibe. Some of our bridal party saw how beautifully she did makeup and Heather found the time to squeeze in 2 extra ladies! My hair looked GORGEOUS and stayed put all day/night. She felt like having another girlfriend there while we were getting ready. Don’t look any further - you’ve found her, now book her!!

Wedding Day!

Shade and Strand did my Wife and I's hair and makeup for our wedding, along with our family and bridesmaids. They were very kind, professional, and confident in their work. My wife had Heather do her hair and makeup and she couldn't have been happier with how it turned out! My side had Tiffany and Charee who were so nice and fun to work with! We were all very happy with the way our hair and makeup turned out. Overall, we would definitely recommend shade and strand and loved how great their communication with us was throughout the process. Thank you !
