They are straight magicians!

Tiffany and Heather are amazing! I still can't believe the incredible transformations of my bridal party and myself. They seriously do it all. Some of us don't usually wear makeup, and we still felt comfortable. There were a variety of skin tones, and everyone looked well matched and blended. A few of us have thick hair (especially my mom, who basically has a lion's mane), and everyone's hair stayed flawless the entire night. And they work super quickly! Highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

Best Wedding Hair and Makeup!

Shade and strand did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was amazing! Charee was the hairstylist and Kim did the makeup. They were both incredible! They also did the hair and makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and my mom and everyone looked amazing! They came to my hotel room to do the hair and makeup and that was great! They made us feel very comfortable. They were on time, efficient, friendly, and very talented in hair and makeup. I would highly recommend them!
