BEST 'DO FOR YOUR "I DO"

Weddings: they're all fun and games and exorbitant expenses and heterosexual privilege — until the bride's hair falls. Then? Disaster! Avoid any potential Bridezilla moments by calling upon the wizardly hair (and makeup) skills of one Armando Sarabia. His mobile beauty service, Get Your Do Up, brings the look to you, with on-location consultations and makeovers sure to guarantee love, honor, and obedience. He'll take you through it all in style, from initial makeup color palette consultation to frisky honeymoon runway takeoff look. Sarabia's talents aren't just reserved for romantic matrimonials, either: girls' nights out, media appearances, boudoir photography sessions, holiday gatherings, and just general cuts, colors, and styling all benefit from a good dose of Get Your Do Up glamour.

Going to the Chapel, Chapel Hill that is.. For Lisa and Joshua's Wedding ..

I first met Lisa and Joshua at Bay to Breakers a couple of years ago.

that's me when my hair was extremely long ;)

If you have ever participated in Bay to Breakers you know it really isn't a run, it's a party!

That's where I met Lisa and Joshua somewhere near the half-way point. That's where the party was and that's where I needed to stay.

I'm sure the wedding at Chapel Hill is going to be quite the party as well.

Most of the people I met at Bay to Breakers will be there. :)

Volume and Length

To create more volume and Length we added some extensions to Lindsey's hair...

I prepped the hair extensions with Prep by Bumble and Bumble Curled it using a flat iron to seal down the cuticle and hold that curl for the day... Even on a hot summer day in Napa, Valley that curl lasted throughout the ceremony and reception.
