The Wedding Industry
I personally love the idea of being married to your soul mate and best friend. This is the true back story of why I started my business six years ago. I believe finding your soul mate in this world is truly an amazing thing to have happen to a couple and I am honored to be a part of their journey in marriage.
The Wedding Memories
My very favorite moments while working in the bridal industry are when the bride looks at her hair style that I created for her. She feels beautiful, confident and ready to take on the day. To me, that is pure joy, art and love tide together into one.
Specialization
My team and I specialize in more of a Boho Style Wedding. We love creating Bohemian inspired braids & twists that incorporate into upstyles and down styles. We want all of our hair styles to specialize to the unique personality of each and every bride we encounter.
