I am a Makeup Artist who also provides hair styling only.
Because styling depends so much on the specifics of your hair—like length, thickness, and texture—it’s difficult to provide an accurate quote without seeing you first. To make sure we’re on the same page and that I can deliver exactly what you’re looking for, the first step is to jump on a Clarity Video Call.
You can find the link to book virtual meetings via the service and the portfolio pages. It’s the best way for us to connect and discuss the details of your look!
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
