I cannot recommend Heather enough to anyone needing their hair and/or make up done for any special event, but particularly for their wedding!
I was initially drawn to Heather through her beautiful vivid colored hair & warm energy that emanated from her business portrait - I have a bit of an alternative style and I wanted someone who could help work that into my wedding look while still keeping it beautiful & classic. She did a wonderful job - brides get the option of having a trial run for hair and makeup which I loved. There is enough to worry about on the big day, so it felt good to know we had a look that I loved ready to go for that morning. She created a beatiful soft smoky glam look for my face, and my hair was worked into a gorgeous half up/half down crown of soft curls, and I didn't even know it was possible for me to look that good! :)
Heather & her team also did hair and make up for my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride & groom. Everyone's own style shined through while still making it all cohesive. Everyone loved how they looked, and it lasted all night! Thank you so much, Heather & Abby!!!

e was quick to respond, kind and overall attentive! During the trial she made me feel comfortable in voicing my opinions of what I did/didn’t like. I was able to have the best of both worlds- have my hair down for my first look/ceremony followed by an updo for family pictures and the rest of the day! Heather has an amazing skill and it’s evident she truly loves what she does! If I could have her do my hair everyday I would!!

essional, friendly, and organized. My wedding party and I had hair textures, thicknesses and desired styles that ran the gambit, I was so nervous but she wasn't phased and had us all looking like the best version of ourselves in no time flat. She was so efficient without making us feel hurried or rushed. Her and Val make us feel totally at ease, they blended right into the wedding party and make the whole getting ready process just feel like a big hang. I've never seen my niece more excited than when she got to get her hair done by Heather, it was a really special testament to how friendly and welcoming she is. My updo also lived through beach winds and headbanging on the dancefloor til the end of the night.

te this was the most reasonably priced I found in the area. My hair and makeup looked exactly how I wanted it to and covered up the skin break out I had on my wedding day. Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. But more importantly the staff were kind and friendly which is key while getting ready on your wedding day. I high recommend this vendor and would use them again in a heartbeat for any hair/makeup needs.

wlessly! I never once felt pressured to do something that was out of my comfort zone and she gave honest advice to teach me (a very non-makeup person) about the products she was using and how they accentuated my final look. Not to mention, I ran, danced, got sprayed by sprinklers, and cried probably 10 times and that makeup and hair did not budge!!! I will tell anyone who listens about how great my experience was. Please consider her in your special day, she’ll only make it better!!!

ng day for 10+ people. I am so grateful that my planner had worked with Heather in the past and she was gracious enough to agree to save the day for us! Even without a trial, I couldn’t have been happier with my hair, as were all my bridesmaids and crew. The hair and makeup schedule was the part of planning that stressed me out the most having heard horror stories of delays but Heather quickly put all those stresses aside. She was ahead of schedule and even added in 3 flower girls at the last minute. I truly am sooo grateful for Heather and could not possibly recommend her more highly!!! If you have the chance to have her there on your wedding day, don’t think twice!

Everyone loved their hairstyles and as the bride I received many compliments and was able to dance and hug guests without fear of my updo coming undone or my hair being uncomfortably tight to my scalp.
You will be hard pressed to find a more talented and overall incredible person to join and style you on the best day of your life!

She also double checked to make sure everyone’s hair was all set and ready to go before leaving. If you are looking for someone who is sweet, fun and loves what they do, Heather is your girl! I can not recommend her enough! So give her a call, you won’t be disappointed! :)

The morning of my wedding I decided to change the style from what we had originally planned upon at the trial (fancy ponytail) to a more classic look (chiffon bun) .

Heather was able to work with my bridal accessories as well including a crystal headpiece that she was able to style and adjust so that it was comfortable and in-place the whole day! I would recommend Heather to anyone. She is fun, professional, and makes you feel at ease on such a big day:)
