Kristi is a talented hair and makeup artist but what really sets her apart is her creative flair and natural ability to connect with clients. Every step of the way, from the trial to my wedding day, Kristi made me feel so comfortable and special. 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!

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, Aurora, Newmarket, Markham, Stouffville, Millbrook, Cavan, Blackstock, 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;)
Bridal trials are for our booked brides only and a time for you and your artist to connect, 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 us to get to know your hair and skin (how the 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 both you and your artist will know exactly how you’re going to look on the big day!
All hair and makeup trials take place weekdays at our 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.
You are always welcome to request a specific artist, but rest assure, once we have a clear idea of your bridal hair and makeup vision, we then hand select the best artist(s) from our talented team, that align best with your needs to execute your dream bridal look!
Due to supply and demand we do have a minimum of 4 hair & makeup services (Bride + 3) for weekend weddings booked during peak season (May-Oct).
Are you eloping with that that special someone or having an intimate wedding where only you, the bride, requires services? We would absolutely love to be there for you and offer a special “BRIDE ONLY’ hair & makeup package just for you!
Please inquire even if you feel you do not meet our minimum, as we want to be there to support every beautiful bride that connects with our aesthetic and try to accommodate when possible:)
Have a photoshoot or special occasion coming up and want to feel/look extra amazing! We also offer Event hair & makeup services for 1-2 people at our beauty space in Pickering, ON.
Yes! We have a team of selected talented and trusted artists allowing us to accommodate large parties and tight timelines, ensuring your whole bridal party/guests are complete and photo ready in an efficient timeframe.
While we are happy to accommodate additional services, when possible, services cannot be deducted after officially booking and securing your date.
Absolutely not! 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.
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.
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.
