The secret to waves that last? You build them like they have to survive a hurricane and then you never touch them again!

Twist wrap. Backcomb. Smooth. Encrust in spray. Walk away. AND DON’T TOUCH! 😅

STORY TIME!

When I was 18 a card reader told me I would find my happiest and most purposeful self when I learned to be proud behind the scenes. I was a support system for people and I just could not figure out what that meant for years.

I think I finally do 🤍

My biggest pride in what I do is not just the hair. It is being the calm in a chaotic morning. The organizer. The one juggling the stressed out mom and the bridesmaid who forgot this day is not about her 👀
The helpful hands that make sure everything runs smoothly before anyone walks down that aisle.

I am the bridesmaid you never knew you needed.

It took me 20 years to understand what she meant but I genuinely am at my happiest standing behind all of you, making sure you shine.

Anyway, this spooky little story makes me happy and I’m glad to be here.

Thank you to Carlos Vicente | Edmonton Wedding Photographer for my new favorite picture of me at work and Mariah Mazer for being a gorgeous human.
Also Luxury Makeup Artist for doing what he does best. She looks perfect 👌🏻

A classic frenchie for a class act

Tehya thank you for being the absolute nicest human I’ve ever met! And thank you so much for having us this weekend 🤍 you looked just perfection.

Swipe to see the cutest little beans you’ve ever seen! My favorite part of the day was working on those curls 🤩

The Starbucks run has made more than one wedding morning run late and I have seen it with my own eyes 👀

Designate a coffee person who is NOT a bridesmaid and have it waiting when glam starts. Caffeinated and on time. That is the goal ☕

Blow dryers. Curling irons. Steamers. Makeup lighting. Phone chargers. Coffee makers. We are plugging in A LOT on a wedding morning 🔌

Someone needs to know where that breaker box is. Trust me on this one!

Nobody wants jellyfish tentacles framing their face in their wedding photos 🪼

Too long and they get heavy and drag straight fast. A little trim morning of keeps everything light lifted and perfect. I have been cutting hair for 20 years. I promise I got you!

Your getting ready space matters more than most brides realize. Natural light makes every photo stunning, gives your glam team room to work and sets the whole tone for the morning 🪟

The morning runs so much smoother when everything is handled before glam arrives.

Extensions washed and dried. Hair washed and air dried. Makeup free skin. Dress steamed. Vows written (you would be surprised how often this one comes up!)
Details boxed for the photographer.

Your bridesmaids are there to help — delegate!

We love happy tears but puffy eyes mid glam is not the goal.
Gifts and special notes the night before means you walk in fresh faced and ready. Those tears are coming either way.
Let’s just save t

Incredible green eyes and that perfect dress?!? Name a better combo 👌🏻

👰🏼Thank you Kira fair having us today

And to Ana Duran | MAKEUP ARTIST + EDUCATOR you are a gem and I love when I get to work next to you 🤍🤍

Natural curl will always have a special place in my heart🤍

This texture is so uniquely hers and that is exactly why we leaned into it. Your curls are not something to fight on your wedding day. They are something to show off. And with humidity doing what it does, they are coming back whether you want them to or not 😅
You might as well make them the whole look.

A high piled updo, face frame curls everywhere and a windy rainy day outside that this hair did not even flinch at.

Megan’s hair was not going anywhere and we made sure of it 👌🏻

A dream team wedding morning with the absolute GOATS in Edmonton
‘s bridal beat never misses!



➰Curly hair is its own beast and I love every second of working through it. The process is longer, the prep matters more and when it all comes together it is so worth it.

The team at were so incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran so smoothly from start to finish — the best kind of venue to work in 🤍

And ‘s florals were absolutely unmatched as always🌷🪷🌸

All the little details you saw here? That’s exactly what we get into in a 1:1 — come hang out with me sometime! What do you think? Should I run a glam wave class? 👇
