My girls and I just went to the Premier Beauty Show in Orlando.  It was great!  We went to classes including Nick Arrojo from t.v.s "What not to wear" and the updo king, Martin Parsons.  They are awesome!  Bought a bunch of new makeup and fun stuff.  We're psyched now.

Thanks

I'm so thankful for all you brides.  You make my life fun!

We're booking like crazy.  I need to add more stylist to the team.  Yay!  We LOVE what we do!

beach weddings

We've had a lot of beach weddings these days.  It's the perfect time, the weather has been beautiful.

Another stylist added to our team

We just had another great week.  Beautiful brides and bridesmaids.  I just added another stylist to our team and she's great! 

Busy month

October was the busiest of all months.  All 5 of us worked hard and made a lot of people look and feel awesome. Thank you to all my brides and all who helped me, Janis, Adarely, Kim and Jessica.

Big wedding

Last Saturday was great.  We had 3 weddings to do and one of them was a biggie, 12 women.  Four of the five of us worked hard that day.  Everyone was so nice.  They always are.  I've been so blessed.  No bridezilla's!  Thanks girls!

A note from one of my clients: 

Hi Karen, I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did.  My hair and makeup was so beautiful.  The hi-lights and low-lights you did for me really did enhance the beauty of the updo you did.  Also, the makeup did last the entire day and night.  I can't tell you how happy I am that I chose you.  I will recommend you to everyone.  Thank you so much.  Ashlee

Just got back from the Premier Show

Hey everyone, I just got back from one of the largest beauty shows in the US.  It was awesome!  Nick Arrojo from t.v.'s What not to wear and Tabetha from the show Salon takeover were there as well as Martin Parsons who has to be the "King" of updos.  They are all excellent instructors.  I learned the latest in cuts, color, foils, styles and updos.  Book your appointment and try something new.

July special

Book by the end of July and receive an upgrade from traditional makeup to airbrush.  Plus, if your bridal party or family members book as well, get 15% off the total for you and your bridal party.

makeover

I did a makeover on a girl for prom.  She was gorgeous and a very happy client.  To see photos contact me.

Last trial run was a blast

The last trial run I did here was a great time.  A couple margaritas, good conversation and lots of laughs.  Turns out my husband is friends with a lot of the bride and grooms friends.  Small world.  The wedding is tomorrow, it should be great.

Another stylist added

I'm happy to say I've added another stylist to the team.  Look for her bio, soon to come.

Review

One of the most recent brides I took care of posted a review on Wedding Wire recently.  She told of how I drove two hours to get to her, started at 5:00 a.m. and she liked the work I did.  Check it and other reviews out on Wedding Wire.
