Private Bridal Beauty, designed around you.
Bridal Hair & Makeup in France, Switzerland & Italy
One artist. One bride per day. One beautifully considered experience.
One Artist, One Vision
Finding what feels right for you.
You may love a softly defined eye, a luminous complexion or the simplicity of a beautiful chignon.
My role is to understand what draws you to a look and adapt it to you: your features, your hair, your dress and the way you feel comfortable wearing makeup.
We take the time to explore the details together, so you can feel confident in the choices we make.
I love seeing a bridal look come together - the way a hairstyle complements a neckline, or a touch of colour brings light to the face. I pay attention to these details while keeping your preferences and comfort at the heart of every choice.
My background includes five years of hairdressing training, professional makeup training at Make Up For Ever Academy Paris and image consulting. Together, they have shaped the way I work with colour, texture and proportion.
I look after both your hair and makeup and take one bridal booking per day. This gives me the time to work with care and be fully present during your preparation.
