I would highly recommend Kristi for your special event-she cares about her clients and will make you look and feel absolutely stunning for your special day!

We got an incredible number of compliments, not only on my hair and makeup, but my girl’s & mom/aunt! We’ve never been a part of a wedding yet where we’ve all been absolutely obsessed with the hair and makeup done until this one. EVERYONE absolutely loved it! Thank you and your artists so much for everything you did for us that morning. It flowed so well throughout the day and made my dreams come true.

Kristi is amazing! She’s detail oriented, kind and very professional. I UGLY CRIED down the aisle and it didn’t move a smidge. I would definitely recommend and very much want to work with her again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel for weddings & if so, what locations Do you travel to?

Yes, we absolutely travel and come to you on your wedding day. Aside from the trial, all bridal services are 100% mobile so you can be at ease while we get you ready in the comfort of your hotel, venue or home.

We are Durham Region, ON based makeup artists and hairstylists, travelling across Durham Region, the GTA and beyond! Our most popular locations for our brides include Scarborough, Newmarket, Markham, Stouffville, Millbrook, Cavan, Port Perry, Port Hope, Bobcaygeon, Richmond hill, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Brooklin, Oshawa, Courtice, Bowmanville, Orono and throughout Kawartha Lakes. We’re also very happy and open to travelling for your destination wedding to warm places;)

What is a Bridal Trial & are they mandatory?

Bridal trials are a time for us to meet, work together and talk all about your wedding before the big day!

Your trial starts with a consultation, then a full hair &/or makeup application and then we make any adjustments if necessary. It’s perfect for me to get to know your hair and skin (how my products work on you) and make any changes if needed. This little extra time together, not only allows us to connect beforehand but ensures a smooth wedding morning, as we both know exactly how you’re going to look on the big day!

All hair and makeup trials take place on weekdays at my beauty space in Pickering, ON.

Trials are not mandatory with bridal bookings, but when there is no trial beforehand, additional time is required on the wedding day and therefore, a “Trial Opt Out” fee will be added to your final balance.

Do you require a minimum number of services to book?

I have a minimum of 4 services Friday-Sunday during peak wedding season (May-Oct) but otherwise, happy to provide mobile services in Durham Region for 1 0r more services and travel outside Durham for 3 or more services. Hair & makeup services for 1-2 people are also available at my beauty space in Pickering, ON.

For more intimate weddings where only the bride requires services, I have a special “BRIDE ONLY’ hair & makeup package available.

Can you accomodate larger wedding parties?

Yes! While I generally work independently and able to accommodate up to 6-7 services within a timely manner, for larger parties or tight timelines, I have selected talented and trusted artists that I bring on to assist, ensuring we get your whole bridal party and guests complete and photo ready!

Do i need to bring my products or brushes for hair or makeup services?

Absolutely not! I joke, that I literally bring my entire beauty studio with me for mobile services because I really do bring everything!

We bring all tools and accessories required to create beautiful work, including professional lighting, inclusive makeup and hair kits, all tools, proper hygiene, & brushes whether you’re coming to me for in-studio services or we’re coming to you.

For mobile services, we only ask that you please provide us with large table/surface space to work off of, access to outlets, natural light (if available), and chairs. Hey, we’ll even bring the table and chairs if none are available!

how many people can parTICIPATE in a makeup lesson?

Every makeup lesson is unique, and I am able to accommodate 1:1 sessions, smaller groups of 3-4 and beyond!

I can accommodate up to 6 people by myself but bring assistance for groups of 7 or more, as I always like to provide hands-on guidance for each individual person attending.

are you experienced working on all ages and skintones?

Throughout my 20 years working in the cosmetic industry - many of that in the retail environment - I have worked on every possible facial feature, age and skin tone! I also always make sure that I and all our artists have an inclusive kit to provide a flawless makeup for anyone sitting in our chair.
