The ultimate guide to accessorizing a bridal hair style

We get a ton of questions about hair accessories. I LOVE hair accessories, and think they add the perfect touch to the overall style. A lot of women will opt out and use only the veil. It really comes down to preference and your style.

Kaelyn Lilac Shoot

We had the pleasure of working with Jenny Haas Photography and Evergreen Flower Co. on a styled shoot recently. 

Kaelyn is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I felt honored to be apart of such an awesome collaboration.  The pictures are to die for, so I'm really excited to share. (Insert happy dance here) 

We are now booking for 2018 Wedding and Event Hair and Makeup.

Abby and Matt 1st Anniversary

Abby got married last year and wanted to do something super special for her and Matts 1st Anniversary. I was so happy when she reached out to see if I was available for their 1 year wedding pictures. 

Their wedding day last April had SNOW on the ground, thankfully this time it was a warm and beautiful spring day! Ohio weather can be annoying to say the least, but I'm so happy they will now have new special pictures to remember not one but two big life events! Here's some of the pictures of their gorgeous 1 year Anniversary.  The style she chose was similar to the one she chose on the wedding day but we wanted to stick with a more boho elegant look this time around. I ADORE how it turned out. Congrats again Abby and Matt.

March 2017 Product Reviews

Okay ya'll I have been trying out some new products and wanted to share my everyday favorite products. 

I have a TON of products so i'll do a monthly blog going over monthly faves. I would love to know if you purchase any of the items I list and if you like them or dislike them. Every hair type is different and I have several scalp issues so I have to be careful with what I'm using. Some of my favorite products do contain alcohol in them and it can really irritate my scalp so I have to be careful. I'm thinking my scalp starting have issues after I bleached the crap out of it a few years back. I'm sure I severely burnt it. HA, but if you know me, that didn't stop me from doing it. SO here's my list. 

Starting from Left to Right 

No 1. Seya Beauty Makeup Case (Using for hair) - If you are an onsite hairstylists or makeup artists I have nothing but great things to say so far about my new case. Now, this could change, if I continue using it and don't like it, I'll let you all know. Believe me. HA! So far its very professional, sturdy, and has a TON of space! Love it! 

No. 2. Paul Mitchell Worked Up - I am a Kenra girl usually.... if you open my case it usually contains 90% Kenra products but..... This working spray is AMAZING!!! If you want a great light weight spray for curling THIS IS IT! I would shout it from the roof tops. It keeps the hair manageable while protecting it and leaves your curls in place. 

No. 3 Olivia Garden DV-2 Brush - I just received this brush from giveaway contest with Modern Salon (EEEEEK!) I was super excited when I received the package, and boy, they didn't disappoint. I probably wouldn't have ever picked this brush up, but now that I've used it, I will be buying more in the future.  I use my Wet brush when my hairs wet, but this brush is great for styling. I.e. Curl my hair and brush out, this brush maintains the style while softening up the look and the best part ITS ANTI-STATIC!!!! WOOOHOO. Can, I get an amen! 

No. 4 and No. 5 Puff Me and Powder Dry Me

So No. 4 Puff Me - This is a spray powder, it comes out in a mist, super lightweight, giving hair the texture and volume every girl craves. I use this for all styles to give the hair more volume. Its comparable to Big Sexy Hair Powder Clay but I love that it sprays out. 

No. 5 Powder Dry Me - This is by the same company Design Me Hair and I just used it for the first time today, but It definitely sped up the blow drying experience. With bleaching my hair, its been a tad bit dry, so it takes longer to blow dry. The smell was really great and you use it on towel dried hair. I wouldn't say it speeds it up a ton, but it was a little faster. 

No. 6 Fanola No Yellow Shampoo - LAST but not LEAST - FAVORITE no yellow shampoo, I've tried thus far. Fanola, had sent me this shampoo to test out and I had no clue how expensive it was, but I am in LOVE!!!!!! I use this once a week for about 1-2 minutes on wet hair. It clears up so much brass and makes it look more ashy. I love more ash and less brass so its perfect for me. I would highly suggest this product to anyone trying to get rid of brass.
