The Signature Preview is a private, 2-hour editorial session.

I recommend scheduling this session 1-2 months prior to your celebration.

For a high-gloss, long-lasting finish, I require hair to be clean, 100% dry, and smoothed. This provides a fresh, professional canvas for our luxury, humidity-resistant products—ensuring your style remains editorial-ready from the first look to the grand exit.
