Just what I needed!
Heather brought the most warm and vibrant energy to our wedding morning! She met us early at our hotel to do my hair and makeup for an 8am photoshoot at the beach before our morning ceremony. I was worried about finding someone who would be willing to meet me at 5:30am, but Heather totally rallied (and helped me wake up too!). She is kind, attentive, and creative, taking your ideas into account and putting in her own spin (with your permission!) as needed. She comes prepared with accessories to accentuate your look! My husband was in the room with us and we all had a blast chatting, laughing, and getting to know each other. I don’t normally wear makeup on the daily, but she made me feel so comfortable and did a great job with the natural look I was hoping for.

Dream Team
Shade and Strand was a dream to work with on every level. They were incredibly, almost instantaneously responsive to questions and requests (thank you Heather!). The hair and makeup team (Kelly and Victoria) were not only extremely talented and made us all look incredible but made the experience just so wonderful. I chose to bring my mother to the trial with me and they were so kind and fun, really listened to what we were envisioning and made it a once in a lifetime, lasting memory for the both of us. They were on time the day of, took care of all of our bridesmaids, including our young flower girl and every single one of them absolutely loved their look. I could not have asked for a better team than these gals. I would 1000% use them again and recommend them for a wedding or any event.

Shade & Strand Team are Amazing
Heather and Victoria from Shade & Strand were absolutely amazing to work with! They made my special day so memorable for not only me, but my bridesmaids and family members as well. I felt the most beautiful I’ve ever been, and they made me feel super comfortable. They’re both so fun and have great energy! I’ll be recommending them to all my friends who are getting married in the future. Loved them!

Kelly and Victoria are amazing!!
Kelly and Victoria were amazing! From the start at the makeup trial they really listened to what I wanted and adjusted accordingly. They even recommended skincare to prep me for the big day. They also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, mom and grooms mom and got us all done on time and picture ready. They’re the best! Book them!
