About Avantchard
Avantchard
Hello! My name is Catelyn =) I've been a hairdresser, wig maker and makeup artist since 2007 and have been doing bridal hair and makeup throughout my career. Creating a wedding day look is something I believe to be a nuanced, intimate moment in time that I am honored to share with each individual. Whether you're hoping to express the most authentic version of yourself, play with a style you always wanted but never found the right occasion, or simply achieve an elevated level of your everyday look, I am here to guide you through the process with ease.
Collaboration is the pinnacle of my process. A wedding day holds such personal value and it is my goal to support you with an open mind and a sense of calm, sparking our collective creativity to step into the day feeling more confident and beautiful than ever!

Absolutely incredible
Catelyn is hands down the best. I knew right from the start that she was the best HMUA I could've chosen for my wedding. On the day of, Catelyn & her second stylist (we had a lot of people) were prompt, professional, fun, and amazing at their craft. Everyone's makeup lasted the entire night! I'm a sweaty gal and I cried through the whole ceremony, and you couldn't even tell. I also wore a hat later in the evening and Catelyn styled my hair in such a way that it looked fantastic with and without it. The entire bridal party had only positive things to say and the next time anyone I know needs a hair or makeup artist, I'm sending them her way. On top of being incredibly skilled at her craft, Catelyn is just a lovely human being and I trusted and loved her immediately. 10 outta 10. 100 outta 100. Highly recommend

Hair & Makeup
I don’t even know how to begin. Caitlyn’s work on my hair and makeup was one of the most important aspects of our wedding prep. She was kind, thoughtful, intuitive and personable. I always felt like I was in the best hands when I was with her. She was professional, warm, and insightful during the entire process. The minute I met her, I felt like I’d known her for a lifetime. I’m so thankful I was able to work with her! She knows her stuff! Her energy is so warm and accommodating. I felt like I could really be honest with her about my vision and she would genuinely understand. Caitlyn is not only a talented individual, she’s also one of the most down to earth humans you’ll ever meet.

Wonderful person & amazing artist!!
From the moment I first spoke with Catelyn aka Avantchard, I could tell she was a truly special person. Her communication style was honest, caring, open, and compassionate - which made me feel like a friend rather than just a client. On the day of my wedding, she went above and beyond, keeping me calm and hyping up the whole bridal party to kick off the day with energy and excitement. Her work was exquisite, creative, thoughtful, and professional - truly transformed all of us into our most beautiful selves. I would recommend Avantchard to anyone in a heartbeat, as they are not only incredibly talented, but also the kind of person you'd love to call a friend.

Lovely Experience & Beautiful Make Uo
Catelyn and her colleague did an amazing job on hair and make up. She was very communicative and listened to what everyone wanted. She did an amazing job for both hair and make up. I would recommend her to anyone!

Updo lasted all night!!
Catelyn does incredible work! I went in for my make-up trial on my birthday, and later that I evening I went to dinner with my maid of honor. I didn't have the budget to pay for my bridesmaids' hair and make-up, so if they wanted they could pay for their own h & mu. Originally my MOH was going to do her own make-up, but after meeting up with me that evening, several hours after my appointment, she decided to have her make-up done, too. She loved how my skin was flawless without looking cakey and that my eye make-up hadn't smudged or budged. The ceremony ended up being wildly windy. I embraced the wind as my veil looked beautiful. Eve after the windy ceremony and dancing all night, my hair stayed put and looked beautiful even at 1:30am. Catelyn has a relaxed demeanor, which calmed me on a day in which there are many strong personalities buzzing around. I highly recommend hiring Catelyn for both hair and make-up. Not only is her work fantastic, she has a great personality as well!
