ABOUT US
We are a team of licensed, experienced hair stylists and artists with a common goal--to make you look and feel your very best. We started our business in 2018 to bring incredible and affordable beauty right to where you are for your wedding day. We quickly outgrew our original business and have now expanded our services to include custom color, hair cuts, advanced skincare, eyelash extensions, and more. In 2019 we put down roots in Westfield, MA while still continuing to travel to do the work that started it all--weddings.
