Whether you're walking down the aisle, stepping in front of the camera, or getting ready for a special night out, the goal is simple: to create looks that are polished and personal without ever feeling overdone. Every look is thoughtfully crafted with intention to enhance, not mask, your features, and designed to photograph as beautifully as it wears in real life.
How long do services take?
I like to allow 3 hours for bridal hair and makeup and 1 hour per service for guests.
When should I schedule my preview appointment?
1-2 months prior to your wedding date gives the most accurate representation of what your skin and hair will be like on the wedding day. Also most of your details are more concrete at this point such as accessories and dress alterations.
Where do services take place?
All of my services are on location based which means that I come to you. Travel within the Bay Area is included in my pricing. Extended travel fees may be required based on your location.
Do I need hair extensions?
Hair extensions create fullness and longevity in hairstyles which can be super beneficial for certain styles like hollywood waves and ponytails. Most of the inspiration photos you are looking at have some amount of extensions involved.
Can I book a trial before officially booking my wedding date?
Yes, however please note that your date is not saved until a contract and retainer have been sent. Also a trial is a separate service from the bridal package which includes a preview appointment.
What do you do to keep your supplies clean?
I am a CA licensed cosmetologist so sanitation is one of my highest priorities. You will only ever see clean brushes and makeup kit. Products that can’t be sanitized with 70% alcohol are applied with disposables or gifted to client.
How do I prepare for my preview?
I send out a detailed prep guide 1-2 weeks before our appointment.
