Please refrain from any heat styling prior to your appointment. Flat ironing your hair before curling it will compromise the longevity of your style. Stylists have been trained to curl hair with a technique that smooths as it curls, so there is no need for a flat iron prior.
There is no one size fits all answer for this. However, with over a decade of experience and thousands of clients from all over the globe, we have found the most effective techniques in getting your hair to hold a style for as long as possible. This being said, updo styles tend to last longer because the hair is secured with pins.
No! This is such an old myth. Your hair styles best when its been recently washed & blow dried with no other hot styling.
When thinking of how you would like your hair styled, keep in mind a few things; your hair texture, length, and thickness. Remember- clip in extensions are a great accessory to achieve most styles !
The biggest difference between traditional makeup and airbrush is the application process. This typically determines the overall finish of your look. If you are wanting a luminous glowy finish, airbrush is a great and effective technique. However, with the advancement in tools of the trade, you can also achieve different looks with a traditional foundation. We begin every appointment with a consultation to determine what will best fit your skin type and needs.
Just like hair, there isn’t a one size fits all answer for this. However, with over a decade of experience and thousands of clients from all over the globe, we have custom tailored kits of products for every skin type and need. Want something lightweight but long lasting during the humid summer? We got it. Want something full coverage and glam but have textured skin? Don’t you worry! Upon arrival to your appointment your artist will do a consultation and figure out what are the best products to use to fit all of your needs.
Our kits are like a fancy cocktail composed of many many different things. A few of my personal TOP choices are Inglot, Urban Decay, Makeup Forever, & Too Faced. However, all of the Hello Darlin' Glam artists strive to stock their kits with hypo-allergenic and cruelty free products as much as possible.
