I strongly recommend professional makeup application for all headshot clients. Professional makeup helps create a polished, camera-ready appearance and is applied with photography in mind. I work with a wonderful team of experienced makeup artists who tailor each application to the individual, enhancing your features while ensuring you still look like yourself.

If styling your hair with products, curling irons, or flat irons feels like a struggle, let our professional hairstylists take care of it for you. Our hairstylists are experienced in styling hair for photography and will ensure your hair looks polished and camera-ready for your session.
Another option is to schedule your photo session on the same day as your regular haircut or styling appointment, or within a day or two of your visit to the salon.
