When people ask me what my favorite hairstyle to do is, I usually say something along the lines of "I like to do whatever the hair wants." I find that listening to the hair, not overthinking, and helping the hair to do what it wants is how we can achieve the most effortless look. -Hi there! I'm Olivia and I help brides feel like their best self in the most comfortable way. My hair and makeup style is natural, authentic, and inspired by soft glam. I'm located in Baltimore and

Fair Foxes Photography When it comes to wedding beauty, glowing skin doesn't happen overnight. It's the result of thoughtful care and the right team of professionals supporting you throughout your beauty journey. Brides often ask me where they should start when it comes to skincare.

My most recent bride, Justine, was truly a joy to work with. On our discovery call, she shared, "getting ready is one of my favorite things to do, so I really just want to cherish this time with my family." It was very important for her to have an artist who would help her have the most enjoyable morning surrounded by her favorite people. In addition to this, Justine valued someone who would collaborate with her and play around with different looks to make sure her final look

A common question that I get from brides is: Should I do lipstick or lipgloss?" There is honestly no right answer! It really comes down to your preferences, what your most comfortable in, and the overall vibe that you want. Some brides want a soft, dewy gloss, while others feel more put-together with a long-wearing lipstick. Here's how I usually help break it down: -Hi there! I'm Olivia and I help brides feel like their best self in the most comfortable way. My hair and makeu

One of my core values is collaboration, so I am always a big advocate of working together to achieve a "you, just better" wedding look. I want your hair and makeup to be amazing because my success is dependent on you looking and feeling flawless all day long! For example, I LOVE it when brides leave me a 5-star raving review, email me their whole wedding gallery, and tell all their friends about me-- so making sure you look like your best self is also a top goal of mine. -Hi

When I was getting married circa 2022, I seriously had no idea about wedding hair and makeup and what was considered "good" hair and makeup. My judgement was solely based on whether the girls in the photos were "pretty" and if they were pretty- well, that is what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. Me and Joe walking down the aisle after the ceremony! I scrolled through countless photos on Pinterest and Instagram. There were so many photos and everything started to look

Approaching the hair and makeup selection process for your wedding can be a daunting task. You probably have some sort of understanding that how you look and feel affects the rest of your day. Moreover, you know that your hair and makeup will be on almost every photo that your photographer sends you. And that's probably why you're prioritizing your beauty experience and wanting to book someone who can make the process stress-free and reassuring! -Hi there! I'm Olivia and I he

Communication and intentionality are two of my core values, things that I always bring to the table from our initial discovery call to the last hair and makeup touch up on your wedding day. It is super important to me that we are on the same page when it comes to planning and executing your wedding day look. Personally, I love it when brides inquire 6-12 months before their wedding date. This allows us time for a bridal preview without feeling rushed in the few months leading

The most important skill a hair and makeup artist can have is not about the hair and makeup. You read that correctly. There are so many incredible artists. But there are also many dissatisfied clients. That's why I truly believe the most valuable skill is an artist is can have is active listening. Many times, brides are looking at beauty options for their wedding day only to realize that at the trial, the way they envisioned their look was not at all how it was executed. Fre

Not all of my brides are born with perfect skin. For those who are-- count yourself lucky!! Many work super hard to achieve the skin you see on my Instagram profile and portfolio. Sometimes, I post photos of bridesmaids in my stories after a wedding, and if you look closely, you can see that makeup on them looks just a little different than on their bride. It still looks great but the difference between bridesmaids' versus brides' makeup is the skin underneath and the months

As a recent bride and Washington DC bridal hair and makeup artist, I understand how exhausting you (the bride) might be with wedding planning. Thinking back to my own wedding, I remember feeling so overwhelmed with all the outfits I had to pick out for various events. To be honest, shopping isn't my favorite activity, and I get so much decision fatigue from all the shops, brands, lines, etc., choices out there. I don't shop for clothes often, and I typically stick to my go-to

All these ladies are normal ladies--like you! None of them have a modeling background! I love working with brides who are confident in who they are and how they look, and they invest in themselves, holistically, for the long-term. They love embracing and enhancing their features. Being in the beauty industry, I’ve learned that everyone- LITERALLY everyone- has something they dislike about themselves. It might be their freckles, or nose, jawline or eyebrows, or maybe they alwa

Living a values-focused lifestyle is so important to me because it helps truly helps ground me...
