Jayme Married on 05/12/2022this is your sign to hire Shade and Strand!
HIRE SHADE AND STRAND NOW!!!💛 The whole team brought the most wonderful energy and hype you need in getting ready for your wedding.
Heather from the start was ALWAYS super responsive and accommodating. Always answering my questions and requests promptly. We even added someone last minute and said it was no problem.
We had a total of 9 people (12 services) and they were able to get us all done in time for pictures. They honestly all are so sweet and listened to what we all wanted. I was not able to do a trial due to the drive it would take me to get there and it came out PERFECT the day of. I’m thankful that I felt comfortable to say something if I wanted a little make up change and it was no problem.
They are all just beautiful souls enhancing our beauty and make us feel and look beautiful.
Thank you again for bringing fun, professionalism, and being experts at what you do. It’s clear that you love to do it too💛 -

I had a wonderful time working with heather and Tiffany. They both were incredibly personable and easy to communicate with. They are super efficient and do great work. They were very flexible and even let me add someone on last minute and still finished on time. I would recommend them to anyone who needs hair and makeup done. -
