About

Snakes for Hair is a wedding decor and lighting company in Brooklyn, New York, specializing in one-of-a-kind rentals for your special day. I'm an artist and designer, with candles as my primary "canvas" and source of inspiration. I love where art, home accents, and intention-setting meet. The name Snakes for Hair is a fun moniker referencing my two braids and my love for mythology and magic.

Services Offered

At Snakes for Hair, I'm known for artfully designed prayer/altar candles based on my collage work. However, my tapers, tumblers, and matchboxes are a unique offering for couples seeking to capture their union on a flame in a special, individualized way. My storefront showing my signature line only demonstrates some examples of what can be done, so imagine what designs you'd love to see burning on your special day!

My highest recommendation!

I had the incredible great good fortune to meet Julia Popescu aka Snakes for Hair through having seen her beautiful art posted by a mutual acquaintance on Instagram, and I'm forever grateful. Her hand-crafted candles adorned with her collage works make unique, mystical gifts for brides, bridesmaids, the happy couple, and everyone in between. Personally, I can't resist sending different designs to loved ones and then treating myself to them as well. Julia's candles have transformed my home into a magical oasis in every room.

Julia is also an exceptionally gifted, intuitive and compassionate seer and reader. I have given her readings to others, and also had many with her myself. Her ability to articulate the unseen and how deeply her readings consistently resonate in the heart of the recipient is truly unlike any other experience in this realm I've ever had. She is so generous with her time and her vision, as well. I feel fully seen, understood, encouraged, supported and somehow more hopeful and clear after every reading with Julia.

For events, I also just want to mention what a beautiful and spiritual physical space Julia is able to create wherever she appears. I've attended a few of her events, and even in a small space, it's like stepping into another, glorious world.

I can think of a million ways that Julia's work and presence would enhance any event or meaningful moment and make it truly and memorably special. My highest recommendation x 1,000!
