FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once a bride has reached out to me, I'll ask a few questions about the date, time and location of the ceremony, how many people need services, etc. Once we've talked a little bit about the basics of things, I'll usually recommend a trial so we can try out a few different looks prior to the big day. This way we can ensure that we've found the right look for you and we can plan out exactly how much time we'll need together on the day of your wedding.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Growing up and starting my beauty career in St. Augustine, one of the most popular wedding destinations in the U.S., it was hard not to become a part of the bridal industry. Working in salons in St. Augustine (my hometown) allowed me more than enough opportunities to work with brides-to-be and to get plenty of hands-on experience and learning the ropes of airbrush makeup, applying false lashes, and other specialty skills you can only learn from experience. I've also sought out advanced hair and makeup training from multiple experts in the industry far away from where I grew up, learning hands-on from up-styling expert Vivienne Mackinder in Atlanta, GA to world-renowned art director and celebrity stylist Angelo Seminara in London, UK.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always ask for pictures of the artist's work. You want to know what caliber and quality of work that they can produce, and a picture is worth a thousand words. Also, a trial or two before your wedding is essential. You want to know your artist as a person and make sure you're both on the same page with things before you hire someone for your big day.
