ort,and attention to detail into my updo. The experience was a perfect collaboration of me showing her my inspiration, and her consulting and recomending what would work the best with my hair. She did a trial to
make sure I felt confident in how I would look and I loved it, but then on the day of the wedding it was EVEN BETTER! She made sure every curl was in place and held perfectly, and that I had volume and lift at my crown and beautiful dimension so my hair looked full and elegant. Everything held so incredibly well all day, even in June humidity, and I have curly hair. She has always been such an amazing friend to talk with but her demeanor and genuine care puts you at ease and you can just relax knowing you’re in good hands while she works her magic.
I would highly recommend her to any bride and you won’t be disappointed.
