Bridal Party Hair
Braids, side swept down styles, and half up-do's; we love them all. We enjoy doing all kinds of different styles to suit the personalities of your bridal party. Everyone will feel rich the next morning with all the bobby pins they've inherited.
$125-$150
Vintage Makeup or Hair Service
While I wouldn't say I'm known only for vintage, I'm definitely flattered when I'm referred a client who desires this particular look. Nothing excites me more than someone wanting a look from an era gone by. Especially the 40's and 50's. Vintage waves, victory rolls, pin curl sets paired with bold red lips and winged eyeliner are probably my favourite looks to both create, and admire. Properly executed period hair and makeup can make or break your look.
$150-$350
