My name is Briana and I am a licensed esthetician and makeup artist with emphasis on esthetician. Skin (your first foundation) is so important to me and the entire makeup process. While I love everything beauty I love everything skin and skincare first. With that being said I always recommend to all my brides to come in for a facial service before their big day. Having had many years of retail and customer service experience my main goal with every client is to ensure a wonderful experience with me from start to finish and even beyond your big day!

Briana was an absolute pleasure to work with. The hustle and bustle of planning can be overwhelming, especially on such an important day. Briana created a positive atmosphere, making my bridal party, my mom, and me feel special. She collaborated closely with me to execute my vision perfectly and promptly answered all my questions.

I loveee…LOVE ! I have always been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural.

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!

Brook grew up competing in gymnastics and track which lead to having her hair pulled up and back often. She began to braid her, and her teammates' hair and fell so in love with it that she even ended up doing some hair for others for homecoming and prom. When she realized college wasn't the path for her she decided to attend cosmetology school in 2015. Through her salon career thus far she has seen many sides of the industry and has always found herself the happiest when styling hair just like in her early days. Brook hopes to give you your dream wedding hair!

Brook Mae was kind, thoughtful and always prompt in her communication throughout the planning process, which gave me full confidence in her abilities. On my wedding day, I still wasn’t positive what I wanted but showed her a few styles and she combined them creatively to make the perfect hairstyle. She was so calm and kind, and truly made everyone feel beautiful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married.
