Beauty advice for a flawless bride

Anyone who has ever been a bride, a bridesmaid, mother of the bride, a debutante, or someone who has dolled up for a special occasion, shares an unguarded secret about getting ready for a major event: It pays to hire a professional hair and make-up stylist!
Virtually, every bride can benefit from having their make-up and hair done by a professional stylist in a major way. Allow me to count the reasons.
For one, who needs the added stress? On your special day, do you really want to be dealing with blending colors and uncooperative hair when there’s family and friends who need entertaining? Leave your hair and make-up services up to the professionals, so that it is one less thing for you to worry about. We want you to be pampered on your wedding day!
Two, hiring a stylist comes with all the special effects. If you choose wisely, the stylist will come with all the cutting edge tools to glam you up. I always come over-prepared, with luggage containing all the materials I will need for a makeover. As professional make-up artists, we make sure to stock up on brands and colors that are in vogue, as well as classic shades that never go out of style. The make-up used is high quality and has better color pigmentation.
Finally, a professional stylist can execute any glamorous look you want, and we offer a variety of looks that you can choose from. But I must say that this depends highly on how clearly you have communicated your vision to the stylist. This is why I always recommend a consultation session before the special day.
It’s important that your make-up looks its absolute best on your wedding day, whether you plan to marry on a beach, at noon or at night or under the stars.
By keeping your make-up simple, you will look and feel great. You don’t want too much nor too little-a natural look is very important. This is not the time to be experimenting with new looks. Too often, brides leave too much at the last minute, thinking that they can handle all of the emergencies that invariably come up on their wedding day. Don’t let your look be affected by this! Your make-up should enhance your beauty, not hide it. We will work with you and help you achieve your perfect bridal make-up. We not only strive to make you picture perfect but “up-close and personal” perfect. It is important that you feel like you look your best. When you look at photographs of your wedding, you want to see your true beauty captured.
There are clients whose minds are set on a certain look, without taking into consideration what the stylist has to work with. I personally believe that the best look is achieved with a collaboration between the client and the stylist. Most of the time, the heavy weight rests on the stylist because, after all, we are the professionals and we know what works, based on experience. My advice to clients, don’t be afraid to express your vision. It’s your big moment! Be bold, be clear, but don’t forget to be kind as well. A pleasant rapport with your stylist will make things run smoother and faster.
Convenience is a major reason to hire a stylist.
I always offer my clients the option to either go on location (to do the style service where the event is going to be), or it can also be in-salon, at any of my salon branches.
Make your most important day your most beautiful one with professional bridal makeup services from a trusted wedding make-up. The artists and hair specialists can help take the stress out of your wedding day by taking control of your make-up and hair. Don’t leave your appearance to chance or to an untrained family member after you’ve spent thousands on a dress, decorations, and the ceremony. Look like the star you’ve always wanted on your wedding day through a professional make-up and hair session. With a professional stylist to help relieve yourself from wedding-day stress for you to enjoy that very special moment.
