Planning ahead is key for event glam services. Brides should book their trial runs at least two months before the wedding. For other events, schedule your appointment as early as possible to guarantee your preferred date and time. Popular dates like prom season and holiday parties fill up fast.

Bridal Hair and Makeup Services

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life. Every picture needs to show you at your absolute best. Our bridal services ensure you look stunning from the first getting ready photos through the last dance.

Bride trial run updos let you test your wedding day hairstyle ahead of time. You'll sit down with your stylist, show pictures of what you love, and try different styles until you find the perfect one. This appointment is crucial because it takes the stress out of your actual wedding day. You already know exactly how you'll look.

Bring pictures to your trial. Wear a shirt similar to your dress neckline. Be honest about how you want to feel. Romantic and soft? Sleek and modern? Bohemian and relaxed? Your stylist creates the perfect updo for your vision.

Bride day of updos are when everything comes together. Your stylist recreates the exact style from your trial, but this time it's the real deal. The updo is designed to last all day, survive Florida humidity, and look beautiful in photos from every angle. Most bridal updos take about an hour, so plan your timeline accordingly.

Many brides getting married at venues around Ocala like the Hilton or outdoor locations need styles that hold up in our climate. Our stylists know how to create updos that stay perfect even in heat and humidity.

Special Occasion Updos

Not getting married but still want gorgeous hair for your event? Special occasion updos are perfect for proms, galas, milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, or any time you want to look extra special.

Your stylist creates elegant updos, romantic loose styles, sleek buns, braided designs, or whatever fits your outfit and the occasion. These styles are designed to last through hours of dancing, photos, and celebration.

Book your updo appointment for a few hours before your event. This gives you time to get dressed and touch up your makeup after your hair is done. Most updos take 45 minutes to an hour depending on complexity.

Professional Makeup Services

Professional makeup looks completely different from what you do at home. It photographs beautifully, lasts all day without touch ups, and enhances your features without looking overdone.

Soft glam makeup creates a polished, natural look with subtle enhancement. Your skin looks flawless. Your eyes pop. Your features are defined but you still look like yourself. Perfect for daytime events, outdoor weddings, or if you prefer understated elegance.

Full glam makeup brings the drama with bolder eyes, defined contours, and statement lips. This look photographs incredibly well and works beautifully for evening events, formal occasions, or when you want to make an entrance. Our makeup artists know how to create full glam that looks stunning in person and in photos without appearing too heavy.

Both makeup services use high quality, long wearing products that hold up through tears, humidity, and hours of wear. Your makeup artist considers your skin type, outfit colors, event lighting, and personal style to create the perfect look.

Eyelash Extensions for Lasting Beauty

Eyelash extensions give you full, long lashes that look amazing without mascara. Perfect if you're getting married, going on vacation, or just want to wake up looking put together every single day.

Classic eyelash extensions add length and subtle volume. They look natural and enhance your eyes without being obviously fake. Great for everyday wear or if you want lashes that don't scream "extensions."

Volume eyelash extensions create dramatic, full lashes with serious impact. Multiple lightweight extensions are applied to each natural lash for maximum fullness. This is the Instagram worthy lash look that photographs beautifully and makes your eyes the star of your face.

Extensions last two to three weeks before needing fills. A lot of brides get extensions put on a week before the wedding so they're perfect on the big day. Then they maintain them through the honeymoon with fills every few weeks.

Eyelash Lifts and Tints

Want gorgeous lashes without the maintenance of extensions? Eyelash lifts and tints might be your answer. An eyelash lift curls your natural lashes up and out, making them look longer and more open. Tinting darkens them so they show up without mascara.

The combination lasts six to eight weeks. You wake up with curled, dark lashes every morning. No mascara needed, no maintenance required. Perfect for active lifestyles, beach vacations, or anyone who wants low maintenance beauty.

Many women get lash lifts and tints before vacations to Florida beaches or when they know they'll be swimming a lot. Your lashes look great even when you're fresh out of the pool or ocean.

Eyebrow Services for Defined Features

Your eyebrows frame your entire face. Well shaped, defined brows make everything else look better. Our eyebrow services create the perfect arch and fullness for your face shape.

Eyebrow lamination creates fuller, fluffier brows that stay in place all day. This treatment is trending because it makes sparse brows look dramatically fuller without makeup. The results last four to six weeks.

Eyebrow tinting darkens light or sparse brows so they show up better. Combined with shaping, tinted brows create definition that lasts several weeks. Great if you have light hair or if your brows have gotten thinner over time.

Planning Your Event Glam Timeline

For weddings, book your bridal trial at least two months out. This gives you time to try different styles and make adjustments. Schedule your wedding day appointments to finish about an hour before you need to be dressed and ready for photos.

For other events like prom or galas, book at least two weeks in advance. Popular dates fill up fast, especially during prom season in April and May.

If you're getting multiple services like hair, makeup, and lashes, ask about package timing when you book. Some services need to be done in specific order, and you want to make sure everything flows smoothly.

Maintaining Your Look Throughout Your Event

Professional hair and makeup are designed to last, but a few tricks help them stay perfect even longer. For updos, don't touch your hair constantly. The more you mess with it, the more it falls apart. Bring bobby pins just in case, but you probably won't need them.

For makeup, blot instead of wiping when you get shiny. Bring your lipstick for touch ups after eating. Everything else should hold up beautifully through hours of celebrating.

If you're getting married or attending an outdoor event in Ocala, consider the weather. Our stylists and makeup artists know how to prep your hair and makeup to survive Florida's humidity and heat.

Why Choose Professional Glam Services

You could do your own hair and makeup. But on important days, professional services make a huge difference. Your hair and makeup look polished and photograph beautifully. You don't stress about doing it yourself. And you get to relax and enjoy getting ready instead of worrying about whether your eyeliner is even.

Professional services also last longer than DIY. Your updo stays put through dancing and celebrating. Your makeup doesn't melt off or need constant touch ups. You look as good at the end of the night as you did at the beginning.
