This is the item on my budget where I splurged.  And so glad I did - it was worth every penny!  I paid for hair and makeup for myself, my 3 bridesdmaids, both our mothers, and hair for my little flower girl.  I figured, I'm spending so much on photography; what good is it if you don't feel like a movie star in front of those cameras!  I didn't know where to begin with my bridal look.  So I brought a few options that I thought may work with my short hair.  I gave Melissa complete creative freedom and I was so happy with the results.  I looked like me, but polished!  Love, loved my hair and makeup!  And my girls' too!  Our hair and makeup even held up through our windy, wet ceremony.  Melissa is the real deal.  I have to give a mention to Edgar too.. he was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning.  I was emailing them months before my wedding when I was trying to figure out what to purchase for my hair.  Two very sweet people and offer exceptional service and talent.
