Q)- How much time do you require per person?
A)- When planning a timetable for the morning of the wedding day it's best to know what time you need to be ready by and if you are planning on doing pictures before the ceremony.

Melissa's knowledge and high standards keeps her hands, makeup products and brushes disinfected and sanitized in between each client. Melissa uses disposable lash and lip wands for a one time use only on every client and NEVER reuses applicators. All powdered products are sprayed with 70% alcohol and wiped down. Melissa is also very careful to frequently sanitize or wash her hands in between each client.

It is sweat-resistant and transfer-resistant, Oil Free, Non-Comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

Melissa`s Advice:
Your wedding day is a huge deal! With so much details involved and so much time spent it can be hard to really enjoy the day. Remember to STOP!! Take a breath and really take in the day, everyone is there for YOU, and to see YOU move forward in your life with the one you have chosen to build a life with. Enjoy that fact, be happy and don't sweat the small stuff. Be present in the moment and before you know it you will have a lifetime to look back on the beautiful memories you created...
Congratulations in your engagement and I hope to be a part of your special day!
Sincerely,
Melissa Hall
