Pretty hair starts with well maintained hair. Frie

Pretty hair starts with well maintained hair. Friends, I know the work that goes into maintaining hair. I have the thickest mane most hairstylists have ever had to deal with when I get my own hair done. ⁣
⁣
When I am maintaining and caring for my hair properly it shows.⁣
⁣
If you are getting your hair styled soon for an event you may want to save this post to refer back to these tips! ⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘪𝘱 #𝟷 If the root area feels greasy in the underneath part of your after shampooing, shampoo again, and maybe again. Most people can use 1-3 shampoos depending on hair density, product used. Having 100% clean hair allows for maximum movement and volume. ⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘪𝘱 #𝟸 Let your conditioner sit for a couple minutes to seal the cuticle of the middle and end parts of your hair. This will create smooth clean lines in hairstyling. ⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘪𝘱 #𝟹 Use a deep conditioner at least once a week leading up to your event & rinse with cold water. Heat opens the cuticle of your hair and coldness will close it. Sealing the cuticle with moisture will lock it in. If you are really committed to hair maintenance you can use cool water through each shampoo and conditioner you do to your hair. ⁣

Yesterday @wearejdphoto invited me to be a part of the set #38 on their journey of 100 sets! I have loved watching their sets over the past few months, and was so excited to see how the magic happens. I also got to work with @_hgrace_ who is just an incredible human doing exciting things in her field. You can see more of the behind the scenes in stories. 💜

It is hard to grasp all that has happened in the l

It is hard to grasp all that has happened in the last year. This time last year I was so unsure of the future of our industry.

Creating new hairstyles in quarantine kept me hopeful we would not be shut down forever. It sure seemed like forever, though! This twisted half up which is designed in a way to look braided is a style I created in quarantine. And, it became the inspiration for @abbeyhartgrove’s wedding hair!!

Last year was a doozy for couples making hard decisions and vendors making hard decisions. We all did our best, though!

And, to now see couples celebrating the way they always envisioned again makes those incredible moments even sweeter!

Veronika had an elopement ceremony in the mountains of the Shenandoah last month. We had so much fun getting her and her family ready at @wintergreenresortweddings before she married her love on a cliff. 🖤🖤

Creating looks for people to feel more confident is the best part of this job. Bringing your features to the forefront of your look is always the goal!

This look was done for a session with @katestylesphotographer.

Drink coffee, get brides ready, drive all around Virginia, andddd repeat.

I am SO grateful to get to work with such wonderful people every single weekend! I am starting to set an away message for the weekends which gives my mind so much peace. Letting you all know when to expect a response allows for me to be fully present for our brides on the weekends (as always!). All inquiries and messages will be responded to by Tuesday!

Dani’s wedding day hair & makeup 🤍

Isn’t she stunning?!?! I am so sad I will not be a part of her 2.0 event in September due to already being booked, but was so thankful to get to know her and get her ready last weekend!

We kept her makeup on the soft side since she was keeping her first wedding low key, and by the water.

We get asked allll the time what our craziest wedding day story is, and I know everyone thinks it cannot be true when we say NONE.

But, it is so true...we get to work with some to the cutest, kindest, coolest, and prettiest groups of people!

2022 is shaping up to deliver the same thing! If you are getting married next year and connect with the work we do, we would love to chat with you!!

I think hearing Shania Twain say “let’s go gir

I think hearing Shania Twain say “let’s go girls” will always stand the test of time and get the party started in a room. What I am happy is staying in the 90’s are stiff hairstyles lacking movement. ⁣
⁣
Don’t you just love this tossled hairstyle for Jessie’s wedding day? It is a perfect combo of course our classic and textured styles. Our signature hairstyles are only a starting point to what we can create for your wedding day! ⁣
⁣
There are a couple of factors that made this style the best it could be : ⁣
⁣
- She planned her for her hair to be colored close enough to the wedding day that it would be fresh.⁣
- She came to her wedding day with clean, product free hair. ⁣
⁣
Clean hair ensures you will have a soft, moveable style (-while staying in place). ⁣
