Favorite Hair Product: COLOR WOW dream coat. This heat-activated hair treatment lasts through three washes. It seals strands to keep humidity out, ensuring the hair stays smooth and styled for days. No frizz!!

Favorite Beauty Hack: tarte, Shape Tape Concealer. Not only does it have full coverage, but it can also be used as an eye primer. Since there’s a matte finish, it won’t settle in the crease.

Testimonials

  • "I used Lexi, Shirley, and Maria for hair and makeup on my wedding day, and could not have been happier with all of them! All of my bridesmaids and moms loved their hair and makeup - everyone looked like their best selves, and they helped to create such a fun and relaxing wedding morning while we were all getting ready! My half-up hair style lasted all night, even with humidity/rain outside, and my makeup stayed even with many many happy tears! They were the perfect team."
