Shade & Strand

Founder

We have been established since 2017. We love what we do and want to share that with everyone. We are a team of Fun, Passionate artist that bring the glamour game to life. There is no party to small or to big for us to handle.

Couples night is wonderful...but nothing beats a good girls night. What better way to start off your wedding chapter with a group of your boss babes doing hair, makeup, talking story and acting silly before you say "I DO"!

  • They Made Us Feel Beautiful and Kept Us Laughing

    Heather and Tiffany from Shade & Strand were absolutely amazing — not just as artists, but as people. From the moment they arrived, they brought such calm energy and laughter to the room. It honestly felt like spending time with old friends who just happened to be incredibly talented. They listened, made thoughtful recommendations, and somehow managed to make each of us feel completely comfortable and beautiful in our own skin. Everyone looked stunning, and I truly believe their work — and their positive energy — helped us all shine in the photos. They were such an important part of our day, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

  • Thank you!

    Heather, Tiffany, and Kelly are not only extremely talented but so nice and made the day more fun! They arrived on time got all of us ready and played music and chatted the whole time so the morning flew by. They lightened the mood with their humor and calm attitudes. One of my bridesmaids wanted to kind of make up what she did with her hair and they were so receptive and helped her hold mirrors until they got it exactly how she wanted. Huge thanks goes out to all of them!

    Kelly and Cynthia are absolutely amazing! They made me and my bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I don’t normally wear much makeup, but they made me feel completely comfortable and confident while still looking like myself—just the best version! We had a mix of skin tones, hair types, and styles, and they made every single one of us look incredible. From the trial to the wedding day, they were so kind, professional, and easy to work with. Our hair and makeup lasted perfectly through happy tears, hugs, and dancing all night. On top of all that, their services were very affordable for the quality and care they provided. I can’t recommend Kelly and Cynthia enough for any bride looking for a talented, thoughtful, and reasonably priced hair and makeup team!

    Shade & Strand was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding beauty needs. From the moment I first reached out, Tiffany and her team were extremely reliable and professional in their communication. On the day of, they did the makeup for my entire bridal party and our mothers, and they absolutely nailed it. The quality of their work was high, reliable, and showed incredible attention to detail. Tiffany is hilarious and so easy to talk to and she really made me and my bridesmaids feel like movie stars for the big day. And Cynthia's work on my mother's makeup was radiant. All of my bridesmaids looked like supermodels thanks to the Shade & Strand team. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
