Red-y To Go

Hi lovelies, I hope you’re all doing great. Meet Christie, my client from over the weekend. She barely wears any makeup so she was very particular about what she wanted and always tried to take a peek at the mirror every chance she got while I was working, lol. When I got to her place that morning, I asked her what she planned to do with her hair and she said she would just let it down (as the oyibo that she is) and I just thought “not on my watch you’re not”. I asked her to take a seat, we got some hair extensions and I styled her hair, she didn’t want her brows touched but I insisted a bit and she let me take a few hairs out. Basically, I had to work putting in consideration what she wanted because more than just making a bride look pretty, it’s also important to keep her happy on her special day. When I was done with her hair and makeup and she finally got to see the final look in the mirror, she smiled, turned to me and said “thank you” and she was all smiles throughout the day.
