Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a hair & beauty partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Laela is WONDERFUL! She did my and my bridal party's hair and makeup for my wedding and right from the get-go I felt very comfortable. We did a trial about a year beforehand to figure out what would work best and I was very pleased with her ideas. I really wanted a natural look that enhanced my features and Laela knocked it out of the park. I felt gorgeous and also still felt like myself on my wedding day! I also wanted to be sure we used gluten-free makeup (just in case) since I have celiac disease and Laela was great about checking ingredients and running things by me.

I have been going to Laela for years, she is both my regular stylist and managed my hair and makeup for my wedding and my whole bridal party. She also cuts my husbands hair. She is the full package: has many certifications and is always taking courses on the latest styles. Highly recommend her for your big day or to keep you looking fresh year round.

I am a wedding planner with 15-years of experience. I trust and am confident in recommending Laela to my brides. She offers and has extensive experience with both wedding hair and makeup. Many of my brides want a polished, but natural look. She does an incredible job. She also can bring in another hair and makeup person for larger bridal parties. She travels all over Vermont for weddings and has established an excellent reputation. I’ve known Laela for over 15 years, she is a kind and wonderful person. She did hair and makeup for my daughter’s graduation and senior photos.

Laela and her team did Hair and Makeup for our wedding and I couldn’t recommend her more. From the moment I stepped into the salon for my trial, Laela was incredible. She’s passionate, knowledgeable, patient and so talented at what she does! She brought great energy to the bridal suite on our wedding day too. ❤️

Laela did my hair and makeup for my maternity photoshoot, and she absolutely nailed it!! We didn’t have a trial—I only showed her inspiration photos the night before the shoot, and she brought my vision to life! Thanks Laela!!
