  • Shade and Strand is Your Wedding Day MVP

    I had a hair and makeup trial with Heather about 3 months before my wedding. I felt so gorgeous, and my fiancé and I went out that night. The hair and makeup held up great, and even looked better as the night went on. Heather and I had such a fun time, and I knew she would be my artist for the big day. The day of the wedding, six of us had to get ready - myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. Heather brought her business partner Crystal, and the eight of us had the best time ever. We chatted, listened to music, and had a blast the whole day. Heather and Crystal were both so fun, down-to-earth, and really made it feel like you were talking to a bestie. Besides marrying the love of my life (obviously), the part that I was most excited about was getting ready with my girls. The Shade and Strand team gave us exactly the experience that I was looking for, and made all six of us look absolutely stunning. I asked Heather to be my new go-to hairstylist, and she happily agreed. I can’t wait to make my first appointment with her and watch her work her magic. I also know who to go to whenever I need my hair and makeup done for a special event. Shade and Strand can do natural, glam, and everywhere in between. Book them and you will not be disappointed! (More detailed photos to come once I get them back from the photographer).

    I cannot recommend Tiffany (makeup) and Kelly (hair) from Shade and Strand enough. They were a delight to work with; professional, talented, kind and accommodating. They made my maid of honor and myself feel and look amazing on my big day. My hair and makeup looked beautiful throughout the night and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

  • Great at what they do!

    Shade & Strand was a fantastic choice for our wedding beauty needs! The communication was very fast and easy, with quick responses to all my questions over text. As a passionate small business, these hard-working ladies truly went above and beyond to make me feel like a Victoria's Secret model on my wedding day. Tiffany and Kelly were so warm and attentive, ensuring that my hair and makeup were perfect. I couldn't have been happier with the quality of their work and the incredible value they provided. Highly recommend Shade & Strand for any couple's wedding day beauty needs!

  • Dream team!

    SO happy to find Shade & Strand for our wedding day! Heather is super communicative and made the scheduling and coordination of the trial run and wedding day run smoothly. Tiffany and Heather are so great to work with, they’re professional and genuinely so kind. They finished ahead of time, (even with a big group), and everyone absolutely loved their hair and makeup that lasted the entire night. They went above and beyond to make us feel special on the big day, and set the tone and came with music too! Couldn’t recommend Shade & Strand more, thank you for everything! ️
