Two Grand Rapids hair and makeup artists have hit the road with their specialty bridal and wedding party services, taking their hair styling and makeup expertise directly to the bride on her special day.
Davina Bryan and Sarah Mattone, owners of
Pomp & Artistry (1451 Front St. NW), operate a small and cozy salon offering traditional in-salon services. But the two recognized a gap in services for brides and wedding parties who would prefer not to add travel time to an already-busy wedding day.
"There's a huge gap between the everyday artists and the artists of the event industry," Bryan says. "We do things knowing that you'll be looking at these memories 10 years down the road. We create looks that are meant to reflect well for the camera; we prepare you for the camera.
"We've been specializing in bridal hair and makeup for five years, and have a combined 20 to 25 years in the salon industry, but we really decided to refine our skills as bridal artists and add a specialty on-location service."
On-location services include hair styling, traditional and airbrush makeup application, and express manicures and pedicures. In-salon options run the gamut of services, including full manis and pedis, haircuts, and color.
Bryan says both the salon services and the on-location services are available for bridal showers or bachelorette parties. Brides and bridesmaids can rent the salon for a private party with catering, hair services, nail services, and makeup before heading out for a night on the town to celebrate the upcoming nuptials. Or Bryan and Mattone will take the on-location services to them at the event location.
