Yes! I highly recommend booking a bridal makeup trial before your wedding day. This allows us to collaborate on your desired look and ensure you're comfortable with your choice. The trial is $100 and can be done in-studio. I also offer trials for other special occasions. (prom, anniversary, photoshoot, etc.)

Yes, I provide on-location makeup services for weddings, photoshoots, or other events. Travel fees apply depending on the location, I currently cover the Washington, D.C. metro area. For locations outside the metro area, additional travel charges may apply.

For special occasions, it's best to book at least 2 weeks in advance. For weddings, I recommend booking 4-6 months ahead, especially during peak wedding season (spring and fall). The sooner you book, the more likely I will be available on your desired date.

To ensure your makeup lasts all day, it's helpful to hydrate your skin beforehand and avoid any harsh exfoliation the day before your appointment. If you're getting a facial or eyebrow waxing, it's best to schedule those 2-3 days in advance. Please arrive with a clean, moisturized face, and feel free to bring any reference photos or ideas for the look you want.

If you feel like your wardrobe doesn’t reflect your personal style, are overwhelmed by choices when shopping, struggle to put outfits together, or simply want to update your look, a personal stylist can help. Whether you're too busy to shop or want to evolve your style, I’m here to guide you through the process.

That’s okay! One of the first things we’ll do during your style consultation is talk about your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. We’ll explore different style influences and I’ll help you discover the style that best suits you. I’ll also create a personalized lookbook to guide you in the future.

Once you book a session, we’ll start with a style consultation, either in person or virtually. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your needs, style preferences, and goals. Then, I will create a personalized plan tailored to you. For personal shopping, shop on your behalf. You’ll receive recommendations and outfit ideas to refresh your look.

Before your wardrobe overhaul, you should:

• Clear Space: Ensure your closet is organized, so we can easily assess your clothes.
• Assess Your Current Wardrobe: Take a good look at your current wardrobe. Identify items you wear regularly and those that you never reach for. 
• Define Your Style Goals: Think about your personal style aspirations. Do you want to create a more professional wardrobe? Add more versatility to your day-to-day outfits? Or experiment with trends? 
• Try Things On: It’s helpful to try on items you haven’t worn in a while to check for fit, wear, and condition. It’s also a great opportunity to make notes on what needs to be tailored or replaced.
• Be Ready to Let Go: One of the main goals of a wardrobe overhaul is to declutter. Be open to parting with pieces that no longer serve your style or fit. This can be tough, but it’s a necessary step to create a more functional, curated wardrobe.

During a wardrobe overhaul, we will:

• Assess your current wardrobe: We’ll go through your clothes together to see what works and what doesn’t.
• Purge and organize: We’ll remove items that don’t fit, are outdated, or don’t align with your current style.
• Create new outfits: Using what you already own, I’ll help you put together stylish, practical looks for different occasions.
• Provide recommendations: I’ll suggest key pieces you may want to add to complete your wardrobe and elevate your style.
