Bridal Services

Wedding styles are one of my favorite things I do when wedding season starts.

 

I even have a small team to even help with large wedding parties or if you're wanting make up artist I have you covered.

I am located inside Salon Au

We are next door to Chicken Coop Restaurant & 360 Med Spa

When you arrive come on in and grab a seat in our seating area. If the front desk receptionist

is available she will ask you if you would like to use the restroom or if you would like a drink or snack.

If we don't have a front desk person at the time have a seat and I will be with you shortly.

Please make sure you read your confirmation emails for details about your appointments.

There is important information including my phone number if you need to contact me & for texting me when you arrive for your appointment.

For a personalized experience, all new clients will receive a consultation to discuss your preferences, dislikes, and create a custom hair plan just for you. If we haven't had a consultation before your appointment, I may request additional information such as pictures of your hair and hair history dating back up to 5 years.

 

Before your visit, please take the time to read through my policies page to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and expectations for all clients. When you book with me you're agreeing to these boundaries.

 

Thank you for choosing my small business, and I look forward to providing you with exceptional hair services!
