Megan & Cagney Married! And Why You Should Have Your Hair and Makeup Done on Location

This has to be one of my favorite getting-ready pictures ever. Megan looks absolutely relaxed  and the grin on her gorgeous face, half way through makeup and hair, is just adorable. I had such a blast along with my team getting Megan and all her girls and family ready for the big day, that I’m still smiling from ear to ear!

This brings me to the subject of why you should have your hair and makeup done on location on your Big Day. So what does this mean exactly? Simply put, the Studio Marie-Pierre team will arrive at the location of your choice and will provide hair and makeup services to you and all your attendants or guests wishing to get pretty. Some of the many advantages of this option are:

• Minimized stress on the big day! There’s no need to go driving around looking for our salon and dealing with parking trouble. No one wants that extra stress on such an important day.
• Let’s be honest, being out and about in Key West can be frustrating in the heat too. By letting us come to you, you can avoid getting all sweaty in the Key West heat and humidity. Instead, stay cool as a cucumber in your hotel suite and wait for our arrival!

• Getting ready is a breeze when you’re in in the same place. One girl can have her hair and makeup done while another is already getting her dress on. There’s no need for a bunch of waiting around!
• This is one area that doesn’t need a ton of coordination. No arranging for rides and breakfasts before heading to the salon. No worries if someone forgets to bring a hair accessory or clip-in extensions! We’ll be at your hotel where you can easily grab anything that you need without losing time.

• Did you fly in? Maybe you won’t even need to rent a car, depending on where the wedding and reception are located. Wouldn’t that be great? Save stress and money during the grand event!
• You get to hang out in your own environment surrounded by your friends and family and perhaps have a lovely lunch on site. Again, less stress and travel! This is your day…enjoy it! Plus, keeping your wedding party and the mothers of the bride and groom from feeling stressed out can help improve their enjoyment and yours for the rest of the day.

•  Getting ready photos are so much cuter done in your private quarters. Where else would you wear those cute “Bride to Be” and “Maid of Honor” robes? This gives you the perfect opportunity to hang out in those just a little bit longer. Plus, who doesn’t love those cute getting ready photos to commemorate just how much you love your girlfriends?
• If you’re getting ready at the same location as your ceremony, there’s no awkward shuffling around, such as hiding the groom in a broom closet so you can sneak in without being seen. Everyone can remain comfortably in their designated areas until showtime!

• Sometimes the salon may need to accommodate other parties, but when we come to you, you’re number one! What a great bonding experience to be able to spend the whole morning chatting, laughing, and making memories with your girls before you tie the knot!
• Toast the bride with champagne and mimosas…without having to find a designated driver to get you back to your venue! That’s a win-win for everyone!

What other reasons do you think having your hair and makeup done on location can be a plus?
