“I would like the bride to take this app as a suggestion, as encouragement for her to find out who she really wants to be and how she wants to get married. I hope that what I do, with everything I create , makes that job just a bit more pleasurable and a little bit easier for the bride,” says Wang.

But, in the meantime if you’d like to get Madonna’s look, start with Bumble and Bumble’s Prep to detangle and give hair texture and then spray Thickening Spray in the root for lift. A dab of heat-activated Bumble Straight Blow Dry or Moroccan Oil will keep away frizz and protect from heat and MO helps shorten dry time. When hair is dry, use a large barrel iron to crimp chunky sections of hair, setting each curl with
Moroccan Oil or Bumble hairspray. She’s been at it  three decades, so it is safe to say Madonna is still a hot style icon.

At least once a week we’ll try to bring you real life hair and nails from Luxe so you can see what we are up to! This week, we caught up with Manager/Stylist/Wedding Team Leader Danielle Arias Jones (she’s been so busy!) and this beautiful, nautral-looking ombre color she did for our client and receptionist, Jaime. Breathtaking!

She says we also have many brides who have wedding parties who say they will do their own hair or makeup, but then in the moment, need assistance or change their minds. “I encourage Bridesmaids and especially Maids of Honor to book with us because the day of the event, people are rushed and nervous and it is so much easier to rely on a professional to help you through that time and make sure you look polished and uniform, if that is the look the Bride wants.” Using the Luxe for the Bride package that each Bride gets with their FREE consultation with Mandi, we include an FAQ, pricing, as well as tips and tricks based on our MANY years of doing weddings for our clients. You can reach Mandi by calling 480-209-1659 or via email at info@luxesalonspaaz.com.
