can you tell that we used hair extensions on Kelsey? it’s one of our tricks to get a fuller, longer-lasting hairstyle. we know exactly how to place them so they stay undetected 😏

we recommend that you consider purchasing extensions for down hairstyles such as Hollywood waves, or half-up styles like Kelsey’s. extensions are especially helpful if your hair has a difficult time holding a curl.

we’ll guide you through the purchasing process to ensure your color matches, check that the length is appropriate / blends in well, and request the correct thickness for your hair type!

does your engagement photoshoot have a vibe/style unrelated to your wedding day? with our brides, that’s actually pretty common.

for her engagement shoot, Naomi chose natural glam makeup to complement her thrifted, cream pantsuit. (of course, we are just antsy waiting to see photos of the full fit).

staying true to her multi-faceted self, her wedding makeup will be c o m p l e t e l y different. we talked through how to prep her curls specifically for wedding day hairstyle (one of them involving an early wake up time 👀).

stay tuned for the look we create together for her August wedding, I know I’m stoked to be a part of it ♡

Hair Hack: (continued from my story) extensions will get you that fuller, longer hairstyle you’ve been inspired by!
↓
We tried this bride’s hairstyle without extensions and she decided she wanted more length, body and dimension ♡ Due to a detailed eye, they blend in perfectly and don’t look too heavy!
