“I have had Michelle do my hair for 3 years so when it came time for my wedding hair, I knew exactly who to call. Michelle asked me what I was wanting my updo to look like in a consultation and got to work with my hair in a practice session. She nailed my hair just how I wanted it and when it came to the big day I had so much confidence in her abilities to make it look flawless. Michelle knew exactly how long it would take for her to do my hair and my bridesmaids, so the day flowed together very well. My hair held together all day which is huge for me considering it's very thick heavy hair. I recommend adding Michelle to your wedding day and any other day if you're looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, magic worker!”

“Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.”

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.”

“Solon De'Bleu's Brittany provided hair services for my wedding in June, 2016. She did an amazing job - doing my hair AND my 6 bridesmaid's hair by herself the morning of our wedding. Everyone looked fabulous and she gave everyone the unique style that they asked for. It was a 90 degree day, with no air-conditioning and our hair held all day. Brittany took away so much stress for me on the big day by being so easy to work with and professional.”
