Meet your Stylist.

Hey Ladies,

I know you all want to know, “Who is this lady styling my hair for my Special Day?” Lol I get it! So, let’s jump right into it!

To begin with, I’m Shandalier(pronounced like the light fixture) born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. I’ve been styling hair professionally for about 3 years now. I’m pretty proficient in all styles such as Bridal Styling, Locs, Braids, Extension Installments, and Healthy Natural Hair. Within the 2nd year of being behind the chair I decided to fully transition into Bridal Styling.

I realized, after styling my very first wedding, I love being able to use my gift as a Cosmetologist, to make someone feel beautiful on one of the best days of their lives. Even in events that were pretty chaotic, I didn’t pull away, I looked at it as a ministry. I’ve always looked at any time I styled a client as a ministry. I take pride in being able to make the process easier for the bride during, sometimes stressful, wedding planning. Not to mention, I LOVE Love!

Outside of Bridal Styling, I am a mother of 2, a boy and a girl. Being a mom is my number one priority so me & the kiddos are always down for a good movie night, SNACKS INCLUDED! When I’m not mommying, I’m at some new restaurant trying new food or bothering one of my close friends or family members. It’s nothing like going to their house just to take a nap or going their fridge to make food. Lol I also have an extremely goofy side too…it jumps out every now and then because I love to laugh. I mean who doesn’t, it’s good for you.

I do appreciate my quiet time too though. That’s the time I spend with the Lord, studying and worship dancing. I also tend to practice different styles on my own hair as well, it’s like almost every week or so I’m switching it up because I’ve seen something I want to try.

So, there you have it! Now that you know a little bit about me, I can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you. I’m certain we’ll do great together.

“Where elegance meets intention.”
