Introduction

I have been a cosmetologist for 15 years. I worked in salons most of my career but have pivoted to soley doing freelance hairstyling and makeup on site and housecalls. I love the freedom it brings me, getting to meet new people from all over, and being a part of peoples' once in a lifetime special occasions. I've provided my services for weddings, proms, dance competitions, fashion shows, a music video, and one TV series. I do housecalls for haircuts as well, which includes kids' cuts. I'd also love to be your regular stylist for blowouts!

Natalie was so responsive and helpful as I planned. She was extremely understanding. I don’t know how to do much hair wise, and she gave some great advice for pairing hairstyle with my wedding dress. I requested a half-up, half-down look with curls, and she delivered. I have no regrets for how my hair looked on my wedding day! My only complaint is that getting out the product which provided volume did result in a lot of breakoffs. I brushed slowly from the bottom of my hair to the top, but I ended up with a small breakoffs at the top of my head. Luckily they’re not as noticeable with my normal part. Perhaps this was not the way you are supposed to take this product out. Next time, I would ask for advice on how to properly remove the products used, or ask if the product has the potential to cause damage before it was used.

Thank you for the review and feedback! oh no! yes I always finish styles with strong hold hairspray. It's not really meant to be combed through. You should just start rinsing and shampooing out first and then can detangle in the shower with conditioner. I'm sorry you had the problem you did and letting me know that I need to explain this to people moving forward.

Natalie was the best! She drove to my house super early in the morning and did my hair and makeup before a photo shoot. She was very chill and easy to talk to, and was super communicative and checked in with me about my hair/makeup preferences, how I liked the look of what she was doing, etc. It turned out amazing and lasted the whole day as well! Would definitely recommend & would also definitely book again!!

Natalie is an absolute gem! From the moment I inquired, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process seamless. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but Natalie took my vague ideas and created a flawless look that lasted from 11am until the end of a 6pm wedding and reception with no touch-ups needed. Her talent and attention to detail are unmatched. If I'm ever back in Austin, I won't hesitate to book her again. 5/5 stars without a doubt!

I would recommend Natalie for anybody who wants to get their hair and makeup done, especially for their wedding! Natalie took the time to understand my vision from my inspo photos and took thorough notes during my wedding hair/makeup trial. I wish I could hire Natalie for all my big events. Unfortunately, I don’t live in Austin anymore.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I base my prices on how long the service will take and products needed. So for example, I charge more for brides' hair or makeup on their wedding day, or complex styles like Hollywood waves/glam waves. I also charge more when working with extensions. Optional lashes are included in the price of makeup applications. I require a 50% non-refundable deposit for any weekend bookings to secure your day. For anyone booking 3 or more services, I require a filled out contract as well.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Text or phone consultation required ahead. Find inspiration photos. For brides I highly recommend a trial for hair and makeup ahead of time. Anyone else who wishes to book a trial is welcome to. If I'm doing a group for an event, I stay after 20 minutes for any touch-ups needed. I will reach out again no later than 2 days before your event to confirm final details.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Licensed cosmetologist. American Board Certified Hair Colorist. Experience as a cosmetology school instructor. Trained under many master hairstylists and outstanding makeup artists. Took advanced hair cutting classes at the Tony and Guy Institute. I also have a bachelor's in psychology and briefly attended the Fashion Institute of Technology.
