Kyle, Salon Team Leader at Aveda IBW

Marissa was excellent when she came into The Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee. There, she put on a two hour hands on demonstration class for students in the Cosmetology program. As an Alumni, she was able to share her experience with current students and help them see the path to success for their own journey.

The content she taught was focused around elevated hair styling. She was able to connect with students of all experience levels, and the content was thorough and engaging.

I would absolutely have Marissa come back to reconnect with students in the future.

We are so excited to get the last few things together before we welcome our baby girl into our family soon!

I will be available again to assit you on 10/12/2026.

Natural, Yet Enhanced Makeup for This Mother of the Bride

Braided Updo

Braids have been low on the requests list as of the past couple years. It was so great to incorporate some again!

When requesting braids, it is ideal to ensure you have enough hair for the braided look you are going for. If not, you may need extentions to help add more density to work with.

To me, this updo is timeless.

Thank you for your patience ❤️

Over the month or so, I've gone through a roller coaster of emotions. Life doesn't prepare you for how to navigate the loss of both your dad and your grandpa within a month of each other.

Trying to actively run a business and be there for my brides has honestly not been easy. My communication has not been 100% and it's taken more effort to stay organized.

Though being a stay at home mom raising a toddler and being in my third trimester with my second baby definitely can have it's difficulties through this time, they honestly have been such an amazing light to help bring a constant smile to my face and appreciation for what I have in addition to my supportive husband.

I apologize if I am not on top of everything right now. I promise I am doing my best to not let you down.

This is why consultations are so important!

If I didn't ask any additional questions and went with the first bit of information she said, I most likely would have way over done her makeup.

By asking more questions and ensuring we are listening to whay our clients are saying to us, this can drastically change the outcome of the service results!

What questions do you typically ask during a makeup consultation? What have you learned to do differently?

Bridesmaid Hairstyle

This is a beautifully elegant half upstyle for this bridesmaid. I love how this clean and simple look complimented her heavier fringe/bangs that she has. For her bangs, we did minimal styling to polish them up.

The trial vs. the wedding day

How do you feel the two separate services compare?

The only changes that were made day of was combating oiliness a bit more in her forehead area and sticking back the front two sections of hair a little differently.

This bride and her party were so great and easy to work with! Lovely group.

Soft Glam Makeup

For this lovely bridesmaid, we went with a soft makeup look with her eyes still being nicely defined.

Simply, a beautiful result!

#bridalmakeup #bridesmaid #makeup #makeupartist #weddingmakeup

Naturally gorgeous bride!

For this look, we went with a very soft glam feel. We use a lighter and softer lash for her trial. But, day of we switch to a slightly fuller set to frame her eyes more. We also made a couple other small adjustments.
The results, amazing! She stated, "My makeup held so well throughout the day, even after crying a bunch."

Bridal Hair

For this look, she wanted a more touseled version of Hollywood waves.
she absolutely loved it!

#bridalhair #bridalhairstyle #bridehair #weddinghair #bride

Bride loves pink!

This makeup look is still elevated, without having dramatic eye makeup.
This was the second trial as we had done slightly more to here eye makeup, a different blush, more defined brows, and a different lip color previously.
This time, we went softer on her eyebrows, a more pinky lip color, softer eye makeup, and a less cool toned blush.
Absolutely love the results! This type of reaction always makes this worth it.

Bridal Hair Trial

For this bridal hairstyle, we went for a textured, half up half down look. for faceframing, we dead fairly heavy face, framing, keeping the pieces fairly curly.
She was in love with the look and did not want any changes!

Bridal Trial

For her makeup, we went for a natural glam look with a light lash set and lipgoss.
Her hairstyle was more of a classic French Twist with texture.

Bridal Trial

For this gorgeous bride, we went for an elevated look that was not dramatic with the eye makeup. Besides the lashes, of course!
For her hair, we work with her natural length and density to create a clean tidy look in the front, with softly textured curls in the back.

The bridal trial aftermath

When I set my hair and/or makeup kit up for a client, everything always looks organized and is nicely laid out.
However, post service a message tends to form. There are times I actively try to prevent this. But, it can be hard when you cannot put something back until it's sanitized.

Am I alone in this struggle?

Bridal Makeup Trial

Here is my beautiful bride's before and after for her makeup trial.
Personally, I love when a bride does a makeup trial because it can greatly help relieve stress from the day of the wedding knowing that you already when over what you do and do not like with your makeup. Allowing brides to relax more easily.

I am obsessed with these two products!

As a licensed Cosmetologist, I always have @colorwowhair dry shampoo and style on steroids in my kit! These have worked so well on so many clients and have noticeably upped my hairstyling game! Highly, highly recommend.
