Your wedding hair and make-up should be as unique as you are. Whether you are looking for glamorous and dramatic, subtle and classic, or fresh and innocent, we can help you look your very best. Book a Wedding Trial to experiment with hair and make-up to find the perfect look for your occasion, your dress, and your personal style. As a licensed esthetician, owner Chus Ebako can also plan a regimen to improve your skin, and soothe the complexion stresses that often accompany special occasions. Make it a day of beauty and friendship with one of our Wedding Trial packages, featuring salon and spa services provided in an elegant, relaxed atmosphere.

All services will be quoted at an exact dollar amount. If we go over the allotted time, you will not be charged additional fees unless stated and agreed upon in the contract.
