I loveee…LOVE ! I have always been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural!

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy!

I am so happy with my services from Arielle and Megan on my wedding day!! First of all, we all looked AMAZING! Starting with Megan who did my hair - I wanted really simple waves with a few strands pulled back and she made it look so effortlessly glam! All my bridesmaids wanted up-do’s and they all looked beautiful and unique. On to the makeup artist Arielle. Arielle provided an above and beyond service we could not have been more happy with her! I think all of my girls, me included, said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had done. My maid of honor was especially nervous because she likes a colorful, fun look and she was nervous a makeup artist would try to dim it down. But of course Arielle listened to what she wanted and absolutely killed it. Before I left, I told Arielle that I need her to do all my future makeup looks lol! I just don’t have enough kind words to say about these two ladies, thank you so much for making my day so special 3
