“I had a hair and makeup trial with Heather about 3 months before my wedding. I felt so gorgeous, and my fiancé and I went out that night. The hair and makeup held up great, and even looked better as the night went on. Heather and I had such a fun time, and I knew she would be my artist for the big day. The day of the wedding, six of us had to get ready - myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. Heather brought her business partner Crystal, and the eight of us had the best time ever. We chatted, listened to music, and had a blast the whole day. Heather and Crystal were both so fun, down-to-earth, and really made it feel like you were talking to a bestie. Besides marrying the love of my life (obviously), the part that I was most excited about was getting ready with my girls. The Shade and Strand team gave us exactly the experience that I was looking for, and made all six of us look absolutely stunning. I asked Heather to be my new go-to hairstylist, and she happily agreed. I can’t wait to make my first appointment with her and watch her work her magic. I also know who to go to whenever I need my hair and makeup done for a special event. Shade and Strand can do natural, glam, and everywhere in between. Book them and you will not be disappointed!
