LIA'S FAVORITE HAIR STYLE
Anything from tossled, beachy boho babe hair with just a kiss of color on the face, to sexy smokin' eyes and rockin' hair. Romantic loose updos and pretty makeup. I love it all.

MOST INSPIRED BY
Beautiful things in nature, like clouds, feathers, thunderstorms, or the iridescent colors of butterfly wings.  Basically anything organic and earthy.

A DRAMATIC BRIDAL STYLE IS...
​
Even if it's just switching from brown to black liner, it's when the bride really wants to break away from the expected, be transformed, and take a risk.

​STRUCTURED HAIR STYLES

Structured hair styles tend to have an updo element, and lean more sophisticated and formal.
A more structured hair style is great for a wide range of hair textures: from smooth, shiny, and sleek,
​to those seeking a hint of a softer, more organic look.  ​​
My girls and I adored her, and she's incredibly sweet and really payed attention to the looks each of my girls wanted. What she did with my hair was actually above and beyond what I had envisioned!"

​ROMANTIC HAIR STYLES: TOUCHABLE TEXTURE

Romantic hair styles usually mean airy waves and a soft, touchable texture.  Regardless of hair length, the focus is organic, more natural looking, even "undone," and may include elements like braids, twists, and tendrils.  ​

​LONG HAIR STYLES: MORE IS MORE

A long hair style highlights length and volume, and often requires the assistance of a few (or more) hair extensions to help achieve the desired look.  This style suits a wide range of hair textures, from long and lanky to voluminous waves and curls.  
​There is a fullness to the hair, and it sweeps well past your shoulders.  ​​
