- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The working process with a new customer usually starts with a consultation. During this initial consultation, I discuss the client's needs, preferences, and the event's specifics (if applicable). I may ask about skin type, any allergies, preferred makeup styles, and hair condition to tailor my approach. I might also request pictures or examples of desired looks. After understanding the client's requirements, I suggest options and may do a trial run. On the day of the event, I ensure that the makeup and hairstyle align with the agreed-upon style, making any necessary adjustments for a perfect final look. My hair care philosophy includes: - Customized products for your hair type. - High-quality products for health and shine. - Thermal protection against heat damage. - Avoiding hairspray before curling. - Using eco-friendly, non-toxic products. - Post-appointment hair maintenance advice. Trust in my expertise to create hair and makeup that enhances your natural beauty.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've attended over a dozen makeup and hairstyle masterclasses conducted by leading brands like Dior, Chanel, Patrick Ta, Tom Ford, and Estée Lauder. These classes have equipped me with advanced techniques and insights into the latest trends in beauty and styling.
