Bit About Me 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Bridesmaids option ?? Can be made fuller using clip in hair extensions for volume added length & structure.
Always have a plan in place before the wedding morning as to what everyone has in mind for their hair this will save precious time .
The same goes for the makeup the bride is the queen for the day so ideally needs to be different from her bridesmaids a natural pallet with a soft n**e or gloss lip suits most skin tones .
Having a schedule will reduce stress and time .

Looking for a hair & makeup artist ?? .
My style & focus is elegant / timless with a touch of glam if this is your vibe 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Dm for packages and availability 💄
Looking back on my brand shoot from last year where I’m very proud to be a recommended supplier for stunning venue Shuttleworth and my talented friend .
Let’s talk lashes !!
💄If you don’t want to go down the lash road why not have a lvl treatment which is a lash lift and tint but you need to allow a bit of time for them to settle down before your wedding.
💄or invest in a last serum ( I personally use uk lash ) and ive personally noticed a big different in the length of my lashes.
💄if you are going for my middle bridal package or my top bridal package you can choose from lash clusters or strip lashes .
💄 these are all things to think about dm for a chat so we can discuss your wedding in detail.
It’s finally here !! enjoy 💄☔️
Think understated glamour.
💄full coverage foundation glides on like silk ,builderable and light weight.
💄relaxed Hollywood waves ( my model has micro hair extensions) which gives the style support and durability.
💄I used wedding edition soft lashes from ( tatti lashes ) as I wanted a more subtle look.

Are you a fashionista or do you want to stick with classic looks ???.
✨If don’t wear your hair up in general chances are you won’t want it up.
✨half up half down is a option clip in hair extensions will bring it to life.
✨If your wanting the glamour Hollywood waves will give you that wow factor.
✨At the end of the day do you always .
You might think that half up half down is the easy option unfortunately it isn’t let me break this down.
✨ have you got the right hair for half up half down ??.
✨if your hair is too fine chances are it’s going to look even thinner and wispy once it’s pinned up .
✨Solution you could try hair clip in extensions to give it the volume it needs.
✨is your hair too long or too heavy these curls have got to last and with long thick all one length hair it probably isn’t .
✨opting for a simple bun with either a bit of texture or a smooth elegant low bun not only do these look fab but these take up less time on the day they will last in all weathers and you don’t need to worry about what your hair is doing .
Think elegant sophisticated timeless if this is YOU then we need discuss the hair and makeup look you have always dreamed of.
✨when booking your pre view have photos on your phone so we can discuss in detail the look your after.
✨a pre view is normally 3/4 months before your wedding .
✨arrive makeup free and with freshly washed hair .
✨ if your having a headress / veil in your hair bring that with you so we can fit that and make adjustments if needed .
✨If you chose my Radiance or Signature package you will be treated to a lovely glass of complementary Prosecco while you enjoy the pampering .
✨ DM me on my instagram page or page the strand occasions or alternatively arrange a face to face chat at my salon which is based in biggleswade Bedfordshire.
