I'm a passionate hair and makeup stylist...I not only cut and color hair but I've been blessed enough to be allowed to participate in the biggest day of someones life.

I've been styling for 7 years and couldn't imagine doing anything else. This is a career that has allowed me to express myself, be myself and teach others to love themselves.

This has been a long time comin' so ENJOY!

As soon as we started discussing Ingrid’s look for her big day she expressed her desire to wear her hair down but I encouraged her to not b/c it probably wouldn’t last all night. So we settled on an updo but decided to add extensions for volume. Well the morning of the wedding I was so inspired and decided to see how flexible she was feeling. I threw out the idea of wearing her hair down because with all that added hair/length I knew it would last all night. Turned out to be the best thing. She got to wear her hair down as she had pictured all along and it lasted all night, which for a hairdresser was all I needed!

As for her makeup we kept it light and bright yet totally done up and glamorous! She is a stunning girl and I’m so glad I could be a part of her wedding day! Thanks Ingrid for being flexible and for trusting me! xoxo

The Lovely Lindsay Skog

I’m so lucky to work with this lady! I’m so thankful to have met her when I came to Salon Vivace not just because I now have someone to do weddings with but because she’s truly one of kind…She’s so professional and put together and I never have to worry about a thing. I’ll be posting real photos of our work soon, hopefully, but here are some shots I took with my phone from today. Just for fun.
