Client Story

This client was a bridesmaid in a summer wedding and wanted a romantic style that would look great in photos. She has naturally straight hair and struggles to create any texture on her own.

We created loose, flowing beach waves that complemented her bohemian-style bridesmaid dress perfectly. The style held beautifully through the outdoor ceremony and reception, and she received countless compliments.

Since then, she’s booked this style for other special occasions and is learning to create a simplified version at home using the techniques I taught her during her appointment.
