STUDIO VERVE'S TOP 5 HAIR ESSENTIALS!!!



1. A concentrator nozzle: your blow dryer comes with a funky attachment, this little Guy is very important!  It concentrates the flowing air to one area, this will result in a much smoother blow out and less frizz.  It will also decrease your drying time, and who doesn't need more time in their day?



2. A round brush: round brushes allow you to shape the hair.  Ceramic or boar bristles are best.  Boar bristles are especially helpful on thicker, coarser more unruly hair to aid in the smoothing process.



3. Healthy sexy hair soy tri wheat leave in conditioner: this is a great detangler for any hair type and any age! It will also prevent static and protect the hair against harmful uv rays.



4. Healthy sexy hair soy touchable: this is a great hairspray that is workable and leaves the hair touchable! 



5. Big sexy hair volumizing dry shampoo:  this dry shampoo is an aerosol which makes it easy to apply,  even better is that it's a mineral clay base which means NO TALC!  So you don't get that white powdery look!  It will absorb any oil or product buildup in the hair allowing you to go a few extra days before shampooing again!

What is the benefit of a privatemakeup lesson?

Studio Verve offers one on one makeup lessons!  We also offer group classes. Everyone's skin type, color, facial features and style are different.  Therefore, not everyone should be using the same makeup products.  What works well for your friend may not be the best option for you. 


During your lesson our makeup artist will evaluate your skin type and first give recommendations on a cleanser and moisturizer for you.  From there your artist will work with you showing you different color combinations to compliment your skin/eyes as well as showing you how to apply the makeup.  At the end of your lesson you will have a better understanding of the color palletes  best for you, the correct tools and techniques for application and how to make better choices for longer lasting makeup and healthier skin! We also offer makeup and brushes for purchase if needed.  This is a must for all women and a great treat for teens!!

What is the best hairstyle for me on my wedding day?



The best style for you on your wedding day is one you feel comfortable in!  We feel you should be a more glamorous version of yourself on your wedding day.  When you look back on pictures you want to recognize yourself. 

If you normally wear your hair down, we recommend half up or all down.  We can create many beautiful styles from soft and romantic, to full and voluminous!  Extensions are also a great choice for this type of style! 

If you normally wear your hair up we would recommend you having an up style.  Up styles are no longer like the old days of all those defined curls piled on top of your crown!  Up styles have become much more modern and can take on many different feels!  Soft, romantic, sleek, classic, etc.

Styles flattering on most women who can't decide are styles set off to the side with curls, side buns, braids and half up styles. 


At your trial we can bring your vision to life, to set up your trial please email info@vervenj.com.

Studio Verve Bridal Show by Diego Molina Photography

Why should I consider an on location hair and makeup company for my wedding?

So, your getting married, congratulations!  Now the hard part....planning it all!  When it comes to booking your vendors always keep in mind the DJ/band will determine the energy of the guests and keep everyone up dancing, the photographer is going to capture images for the day that you will be looking back on for years and your hair and makeup artists are there to be sure you look absolutely amazing not only throughout the day, but in your photos you will be looking back on for  many years! 

We pride ourselves on not only our artist ability, but also on our reliability and positive energy. Your morning of prep should be fun, carefree and a time to remember!  At Studio Verve we are well aware of how your day should run. We arrive early and start on time-this ensures you are ready and dressed for your photographer on time and sets the pace for the day. Our highly skilled artists not only make sure your hair and makeup look great, but that they photograph well also! 

An on location hair & makeup company who specializes in bridal is key. Its important to have your bridal party getting ready with you where you are getting picked up to be sure everyone is on time.  If the bridal party splits up to go to multiple salons you run the risk of the stylist running behind, having other clients or not being done on time.  Most salons do not specialize in bridal nor do they dedicate their day to you like an on location company will.

If you have any further questions on booking your hair and makeup with Studio Verve please email info@vervenj.com! We look forward to sharing your special day with you!
