Hey Ya'll
Christine Here, Welcome! A little bit about me, I was born in Georgia, moved to Maine when I was 11 and have been here ever since. I love integrating my Southern Style with my Northern ways in all aspects of life. I reside in beautiful Southern Maine with my awesome husband, a daughter and son (both under 3), and a little dog named Homer. I am a true lover of animals and would have a house full if I could! Discovering the beauty world has forever changed my life and led me to this amazing career!
I've been a licensed cosmetologist working in the beauty industry for over 10 years now! The wedding world is one of my favorite parts of this industry and I love using hair and makeup to empower and embrace your beauty for any occasion. I am always learning new techniques, products, and ways to perfect my craft. I truly enjoy all of the relationships I have made and love being a part in your event.
Hope to hear from you soon!
XOXO,
Christine

Christine was incredible to work with! As someone who doesn't wear much makeup day to day, she was able to take my loose descriptions of what I was thinking of and turn it into rea...
lity. During my hair/makeup trial, she gave me different options and asked for input to make sure we were on the same page and that I was happy with the look. When I decided to last minute change up my hairstyle for the wedding based on a photo I found online, she consulted with me on the style over email and set expectations of what it would look like on my hair, what we could accomplish without extensions, etc. I was SO happy with the result! My mom had previously had a bad experience having her makeup done (by someone else) and Christine made her feel so comfortable and gave her a natural look that was just the right amount of glam. Ultimately I was SO happy I chose to book Christine - I felt gorgeous and still felt like "me" and she was such a calm, fun presence to have on my wedding day. Book Christine!

y my bridesmaids pulled together and were able to find Christine and she was at my hotel suite in record time. She was kind, professional and understood how emotions were running that morning. She quickly set up her station and worked seamlessly with my hairstylist to make sure we were on track for the day. Christine listened to what I wanted my makeup to look like and oh boy did she deliver!!!!!! My makeup was flawless and my bridal party looked beautiful. She turned what could have been a disaster into such a success and I am forever grateful. I’m definitely a satisfied customer and would look no further than Christine for your special day.

getting their hair professionally done. I was so happy with the hair and make up that Christine did for me - I felt completely like myself in the very best way. She did my make up exactly as I asked (I wanted to look natural, just a bit more elevated, and she nailed it) and she did WONDERS with my super thin hair. Not to mention, she was incredibly efficient! She drove up to our venue (an hour from her salon), arrived early, and finished everyone well ahead of schedule. Highly, highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Big Day Beauty for bridal and bridesmaids hair and make-up!! I did numerous trials with other professionals in the area, and Big Day Beauty gave me that natural ...
yet elegant look I was going for. The day of, Christine looked at a couple of inspiration photos and created beautiful up-dos and curled styles for all of my bridesmaids that lasted through a humid summer day/night. My bridal updo was exactly how I described and did not move the entire day. Ashely did a fantastic job on everyone’s make-up, including the mother of the bride. She prepped our skin before applying products and all of our make-up lasted through the after party. Both Christine and Ashley listened to our hair and skin insecurities and ensured that we all felt confident and beautiful with how we looked. We had a great time getting ready with them and it was clear that they are very passionate about what they do!

hair and makeup trial about 2 months before my wedding day, and Christine was able to replicate the look from the trial on the actual day-of, perfectly. When she finished my hair and make-up, and I looked in the mirror, I felt so beautiful and confident. On the day of (4/21/18), Christine was prompt on her arrival and then extremely efficient at keeping all of the bridesmaids on a strict schedule to be ready in time for pictures. She was also very fun to be around and kept all of the bridal party relaxed while we got ready to shine. Best of all, everyone’s updo and makeup stayed on through the entire day and did not smudge or fade at all.

commodating with trying to help me schedule as well as driving from a distance to come to me. I was blown away with how kind and sweet she was, and she was great with my two dogs! My hair and makeup came out flawless, and I felt like a real princess! It poured the day of our wedding, and the rain let up in time for our outdoor ceremony. Throughout the next 2-3 hours, the rain went from drizzling, to pouring, to a steady rain. All our pictures were outside with no umbrella - and my hair and makeup stood up to everything, even lasting through the night til it was time to go to bed. To have someone come from over an hour to glam up one person, and then have that glam job last through awful weather?? You won't find that anywhere else. I cannot recommend Christine enough and I if I ever need a beauty day when I'm up her way again, I will definitely be going to see her. She is totally amazing and wonderful - you will be making the best decision in choosing her for your big day!

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the actual make up or hair skills of this stylist, as she booked another wedding on my date.
I made sure I was on the ball about booking vendors ...
more than a year out from my wedding, since I live across the country and wanted to meet with them while I visited over the summer. After one of my bridesmaids found Big Day Beauty online, I reached out to schedule a trial. After several back and forth emails, and a little miscommunication, it turned out that she was unavailable on my date. Luckily, she is well connected with other vendors in the area and worked to rectify the situation by setting me up with another H/MUA who could conduct my trial and was available for my wedding date.

I loved the way my hair came out and my make-up was perfect all night long, even through the after party! Having them come to the hotel was so great too because the girls could come and go as they needed (I had a few new moms in my bridal party) and it made the schedule run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Big Day Beauty for all you wedding beauty needs. Thanks Christine!

I was married in a church, and had an earlier start time so it ended up working out where she was able to do my make-up. I honestly couldn't have been happier! Christine and Ashley came in to the hair salon at 7:30am, and seamlessly completed 8 people - no problem! Everyone was happy! They did amazing make up on me- even with no trial! I was very happy with it! My last minute change in a make-up artist worked out for the best!

I can't say enough good things about Christine! Christine was so accommodating with my schedule when setting up a hair trial. I showed her a few pictures of what I had in mind and ...
the result was perfection. After the hair trial I couldn't wait for the wedding day and to see how beautiful the rest of my girls hair would be! Christine and her make up artist Ashely showed up right on time the morning of the wedding. I had a few girls that hadn't really thought about what they wanted to do to their hair and Christine was very helpful in guiding them to a style that would work with their hair length. Everyone's hair came out perfect and 10 hours later it still looked perfect, not a hair out of place! One of my bridesmaids even slept in her updo and the next morning it still looked great!! Ashley did a wonderful job with makeup as well. I had airbrush done and again 10 hours and lots of happy tears later my make up didn't need one touch up! Not only did our hair and make up come out beautiful but Christine and Ashley made everyone feel comfortable and were very easy to talk with. Truly outstanding customer service! I highly recommend working with Christine and Ashley on your wedding day. The last thing you want to stress about is looking your best when you walk down the aisle, working with Big Day Beauty will take that stress away!!

ul and different looks that suited each of the girls - everyone was so happy with how they looked and felt pretty. They did a wide range of looks and styles for bridesmaids with very different complexions and tastes. They were also willing to redo parts of my makeup when I had second thoughts - they were very patient with my hesitations, gave me a chance to speak up, and then addressed all of my concerns - beautifully. I felt SO confident and glamorous all day, and the makeup held up through twelve hours of drinking, dancing, and fun! You can't go wrong with them. They were very friendly, punctual, easy to work with - just great.

Christine is great to do business with, and very convenient and flexible. She came to us at the hotel, and is credit card equipped on her phone. I don't think there's anything I would change about their services, and I would definitely recommend them to any brides looking to have their hair and makeup done on their wedding day!
