    I had a wonderful experience working with Shade & Strand for my wedding day. Heather was incredibly communicative, friendly and bubbly throughout the entire process. Her work was absolutely perfect - she made sure my mother, myself and my mother in law looked outstanding and beautiful. She was quick and efficient, ensuring we were all ready to go in no time. Sooner than originally planned actually, which was perfect. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for wedding beauty professionals.

    Briana and Crystal were amazing! They were so receptive to the requests of me and my friends. My hair and makeup lasted all night even with crying through the speeches. Thank you so much!!

    I had a hair and makeup trial with Heather about 3 months before my wedding. I felt so gorgeous, and my fiancé and I went out that night. The hair and makeup held up great, and even looked better as the night went on. Heather and I had such a fun time, and I knew she would be my artist for the big day. The day of the wedding, six of us had to get ready - myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. Heather brought her business partner Crystal, and the eight of us had the best time ever. We chatted, listened to music, and had a blast the whole day. Heather and Crystal were both so fun, down-to-earth, and really made it feel like you were talking to a bestie. Besides marrying the love of my life (obviously), the part that I was most excited about was getting ready with my girls. The Shade and Strand team gave us exactly the experience that I was looking for, and made all six of us look absolutely stunning. I asked Heather to be my new go-to hairstylist, and she happily agreed. I can’t wait to make my first appointment with her and watch her work her magic. I also know who to go to whenever I need my hair and makeup done for a special event. Shade and Strand can do natural, glam, and everywhere in between. Book them and you will not be disappointed! (More detailed photos to come once I get them back from the photographer).

    I cannot recommend Tiffany (makeup) and Kelly (hair) from Shade and Strand enough. They were a delight to work with; professional, talented, kind and accommodating. They made my maid of honor and myself feel and look amazing on my big day. My hair and makeup looked beautiful throughout the night and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!
