Clean, refined Editorial Artistry for Production and Weddings in the SF Bay Area.
My Approach - Inspired by Parisian refinement and grounded in California ease, my approach blends editorial artistry with effortless sophistication. It's a philosophy of intentional beauty—thoughtfully composed, never overdone.
You but better!
I’m known for a minimalist, "skin-first" signature that avoids anything heavy or dated.
Weddings
San Francisco/Napa/Wine Country
Over 300 brides have trusted me, not just for achieving a stunning, authentic wedding look, but for providing an intimate beauty experience where they felt truly heard, seen, and celebrated.
We begin with a Discovery Call to discuss your vision and timeline, answering questions to determine the perfect approach for your day.
Weekend reservations carry a $1K-thousand minimum investment (accommodating the bride plus one VIP guest), with hair styling quoted separately based on length, texture, density, and style.
