I believe the beauty experience should be collaborative—I want you to feel like your absolute best self, like an elevated version of you. To make that happen I need to clearly understand your unique vision, opinions, and preferences.
I take the time to get to know each of my clients on a more personal level, and I want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Our time together should always be calm, stress free, and most importantly, fun. Discrimination has no home here & all are welcome in my chair.
My favorite results always come from when the person in my chair has a vision. I love to be given direction and to be trusted to combine your ideas with my expertise, bringing your vision to life.
Specializing in an elevated version of you.

Based on our conversations, I'll put together a customized package proposal for you to review. We'll fine tune your service numbers + the amount of artists needed here.

Once your quote is looking good & you're ready to take the next steps, I'll send over a package with your proposal + contract + invoice. Together your signed contract and 30% deposit/booking fee will officially secure me as your artist and reserve the day (or weekend) for you.
All booked brides receive my exclusive Bridal Beauty Guide with allllll the details about what comes next and best practices for preparing your skin and hair to look their absolute best on the big day. As well as my Complete Bridal Beauty Timeline, which breaks down all things beauty prep from 6+ months out, up until wedding morning.

I recommend scheduling bridal previews (AKA bridal trials) about 3 months before the big day. Your preview appointment is where we'll go more in-depth about your makeup + hair vision, review inspiration photos together, and chat about all the other fun details you're planning (I like to get an idea of the whole picture to ensure it looks like you're going to the right party!). We'll have 3 hours to work through, tweak, and perfect your look, ensuring that you leave feeling confident and excited about your wedding day glam!

I'll be in contact with your planner or coordinator behind the scenes to plan out the perfect flow for your wedding morning & will reach out the month of the wedding to confirm all the timing details. This ensures your wedding morning is as smooth + stress free as possible for you and your crew.

All the planning and preparation has paid off! We'll show up early on the morning of your wedding day and bring everything we need with us. Now you just get to relax, enjoy the bridal experience, and let us pamper you.

You'll walk down the aisle feeling like the best, most elevated version of yourself! I can't wait to help you shine.
F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
When is the best time to book?
As soon as you know you want an artist for your event or photos! Weekend dates book up quickly & I book weddings up to a year in advance, so it's always best to reach out and secure your application as soon as possible.
Can you hold my date?
A: Unfortunately, no. Weddings are booked on a first come, first served basis and are not officially booked until you have signed a contract + paid your 30% deposit/booking fee.
Can I do a trial before booking with you?
You're welcome to schedule a bridal preview/trial before booking your wedding with me, but please remember that weddings are booked on a first come, first served basis & scheduling a preview before signing your contract might allow time for someone else to book your date.
What are bridal concierge services?
AKA additional touch up time. This is where I stay on-site for touch-ups and look changes after our makeup/hair "end time". Bridal concierge services are a supportive service during photos, after the ceremony, and/or before the reception, and commonly includes: on-demand hair and makeup touch-ups, assistance with your veil/bouquet/dress, personal assistance/emotional support, and hair/makeup changes to accommodate a second look during your reception.
Do you offer blowouts?
I do not offer blowouts at this time - dry hair styling only.
Do you offer makeup and hair services for events other than weddings?
YES, of course! I love to help you feel your best for just about anything! Family, boudoir, maternity, or branding photos. Headshots, galas, date nights. I also love to work with jewelry and fitness brands, women entrepreneurs/CEO's, and personal/life/financial coaches.
What products/brands do you use?
I've curated a wide range of professional and luxury products in my kits over my 15+ year career.
Do you offer airbrush makeup?
I do not offer airbrush foundation any longer as I have found over the years that it is simply not the best fit in the dry Colorado climate. I can have more control over skin texture + achieve the same long wearing results with traditional foundation formulas and setting sprays.
Are you licensed?
Yes, I’m a licensed esthetician in the state of Colorado. You must be licensed as an esthetician or cosmetologist to legally offer any makeup services in Colorado.
Do I need to bring anything?
Not a thing! I'll come with my chair, lighting, and fully stocked makeup and hair kits so I'll have everything needed to get your look right.
