A list of the products I used to decorate and remodel my salon suite into a FAIRYTALE!

I get asked about where I got the decor from when I’m at the salon suite every time! I’m compiling a list of the exact items I purchased or the closest to it I could find if it the specific item wasn’t sold anymore. I hope to inspire your creative, interior designer, version of yourself to make your salon suite fit your personality and your business!

  • This vanity desk and chair is for when I need to work on paperwork and back-end tasks for my business. If you’re a business owner you know this part of the job is best done in comfort! I’m a plus size woman and not all stools or desk chairs are made to fit our voluptuous curves! This chair is super comfy and sturdy enough for my weight.

  • Very important! Don’t forget to have your license up in clear view. It’s easy to forget when you’re having fun and making your salon suite into your own. I like these license holders because you can mount or place on a shelf or desk.

  • I love anything iridescent but I keep those items limited in the suite to maintain the bridal suite aesthetic. Here are a few of the iridescent decorations and accents I was able to sneak in and incorporate!!

  • The selfie wall is a big hit with our clients! Especially getting the selfie after a makeup/hair trial for your big day. We have a bench seat for storage, to have a seat in front of the selfie wall, and for extra seating when friends and family come along with the bride to be for their trial.

  • As most of you know, this is not my side hustle. This is my career and how I make a living. I am ALSO a stay at home mom to a very busy little guy. He comes with me often enough to the salon for me to need a space for him to relax and stay busy. When I don’t have a spray tan client my little likes to cozy up in this plus little nook to watch his shows and play his games. These big cushions can also be used for a lash client or another place to sit for a guest or even their child. It makes the salon suite have just enough cozy with the bougee!

Planning a vow renewal? This lovely couple had the most romantic vow renewal!

My beautiful bride, Christine, was all about showing off her tattoos and looking her most natural beautiful self. She did a trial and chose to go with airbrush makeup. She also pampered her husband with male grooming service where I provide moisturizer for face/hands, hair style, conceal and cover any blemishes. I had so much fun working with her! Don’t they look great? Sigh…

Must haves for your hair and makeup artist Go-Bag!

All makeup artists need some sort of go bag, whether you’re big or small in business here is my list of items that make my life easier as a busy mom and business owner!

  • This was a great hair bag when I first started and artists, trust me when I say bring your hair stuff and leave in your car…even if you’re only doing makeup, you never know their hair person may fall through. Be the artist who can come through for whatever service on your client’s wedding day!

  • Skin prep is an absolute necessity for your client to look their best. At a bare minimum have a good quality light moisturizer for all skin types.

  • Get a good foundation palette and as long as you understand color theory you’ll be able to match your client’s skin tones and conceal any pigmented and textured areas.
