A T T E N T I O N T O D E T A I L. That’s our motto! We don’t leave baby hairs flailing at the scalp or natural waves crimped up at the temple. We excel at creating durable but effortless-looking hairstyles crafted with care! Melissa’s half-up, half-down style was designed just that way… to relax over time and to look polished and sleek all throughout her day!
Also, don’t you just love her PJs made from her mother’s 2nd wedding dress? That blue is somethin’ else!

Such a sunshine-y, sweet client Kim was! Her bronzed, glowy look is a fave of mine, and I hope it never goes out of fashion!

Brilliant autumn shades swirled into my favorite updo! Her cut and color suited this style so well. Ladies, remember; when choosing inspo pics, find photos that best represent your current haircut, haircolor, and texture. That makes all the difference when bringing your vision to life! Stylists need accurate, realistic ideas to craft your ideal look instead of AI or simply “pretty” photos that may be unachievable on your hair.

This topic has been heavy on my heart for years. Weekend after weekend we style bridal parties and receive requests for down-styles from folks who are either unfamiliar with the humid climate in Virginia or who are simply not grasping what wet heat plus 10 hours of activity can do to their hair. A talented stylist with a well-packed kit can do a lot of incredible things to hair, but we are not magicians.
We cannot restate this enough:
➡️ ”More hairspray” does not “make it stay” - in fact, it weighs your hair down and makes it sticky & frizzy
➡️ A “soft curl” become a nearly straight stringy mess within hours on an 89-degree, 85%-humidity day
➡️ Your hair would look even more lovely up and off your neck than it would down and stuck to your sweaty back at 6pm
…and so much more!
We want your hair to be just as stunning at 9am as it is while you dance it out at 9pm!
And that’s where booking artists who won’t just nod and say “sure!” is so important. We’ll advise you on how we expect your type, length, volume, and style of hair to act, we’ll show up day-of with the weather forecast memorized, we’ll have an arsenal of tried & true AND trendy styles on-hand, and we’ll consider all aspects of your day (like timing, weather, indoor/outdoor nature of your venue, neckline of your dress, etc) to make sure you’re looking and feeling your best!
Fellow artists, please feel free to share if this resonates with you & your clients!

Give us all the floral accessories this spring and summer! @amazon is our favorite place to shop for delicate, one-of-a-kind, low budget but high quality bridal hair pieces! Bridal gown salons sell the exact same pieces for quadruple the price and carry much fewer selections. Check out our Amazon storefront (linked in our story & profile) for a few favorites that we love and have used on recent brides!
Also, so in love with @moroccanoil ’s Dry Texture Spray and Glimmer Shine products that make this style so clean and fluffy!

My sweet Grace @graceemebane . Loved doing a little content moment with her and her pretty face! We did a quick loose blowout with lots of teasing (in Virginia weather, blowouts are a moot point due to the humidity, but we wanted to give her a polished, clean hairstyle to suit the makeup) and did a natural glam look with golden, peach tones to complement her complexion!
Here are a few of the products used:
@makeupbymario Ethereal Palette
@charlottetilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer Medium & Tan
@patricktabeauty She’s Baked & She’s That Girl blush
@armanibeauty Luminous Silk Foundation 6 & 7.6
@tatti_lashes Bride Squad

I’ve been slacking on remembering to take before-and-afters, but Addison’s shy and sweet smile is irresistible and deserves a permanent spot on our feed! This pinky-bronze eye look is one of my favorite natural styles of the season! Some of my mainstays in this look include:
@ardellbeauty 421 lashes
@benefitcosmetics Precisely My Brow pencil in shade 3
@patricktabeauty Not Too Much & She’s That Girl blushes

…Through bush, through brier…
Through flood, through fire
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon’s sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green:
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dew-drops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits: I’ll be gone;
Our queen and all her elves come here soon!”
- William Shakespeare

Come chill with me while I create a casual lil date-night makeup look (scroll to the end for a quick glimpse of my cutie hubby)! We finally booked all of the hotels for our European trip in June and then celebrated with Mexican food in sweats! This showcases a few of my favorite products from my personal makeup bag…brands like @iliabeauty , @charlottetilbury , @typologyparis , and @benefitcosmetics . I’m terribly simple, even boring in my own routine, but my skin knows and loves these products (though I’m currently breaking out from my dermaplaning yesterday 🥴), so I don’t stray far from my “Old-Faithfuls”.
