December 2019


Be bigger, bolder and more even more beautiful

Enhancing your natural features to shine your brightest.

Meet Rachel, our feature bride for December!

As a regular client of Lisa’s, Rachel was familiar with the stellar reputation and beautiful work of Top Knot. When she got engaged, choosing the Top Knot team for her bridal hair and makeup was a no-brainer. Yet, even knowing the team, their approach and their skillset, Rachel will be the first to admit, she was a little nervous!

I have naturally curly hair and wanted my curls as part of my look — not the typical bridal look. When I brought it up to the Top Knot Team, Lisa’s eyes lit up and Chrissy explained how much she loved a curly-do! I knew then and there that I would be in good hands.

bringing a vision to life

When discussing her makeup vision, Rachel had some concerns going into her trial. Chrissy developed a strategy to apply and set the makeup application to ensure that Rachel didn’t end up with crinkly, oily makeup lines running through her forehead as the night went on. And when the wedding day came — at least a month later — Chrissy remembered every detail and tiny insecurity they had talked about and got to work creating a beautiful makeup application that made Rachel shine, with a look that lasted the entire night.


I felt beautiful.

the wedding morning

When the wedding morning came, Rachel remembers her Top Knot experience as incredible!

Why?

  • The team was professional, calm and collected. 

  • The look that was discussed was exactly what Rachel  had envisioned — a natural, curly updo that was an enhanced version of her everyday self. 

  • The team was so excited that Rachel said she could literally feel their excitement in their hands and see the pride they took in her work in their eyes. 

In the end, every curl was bigger, bolder and more defined and stayed flawless until the end of the night. And beyond expert hairstyling and makeup, Top Knot made sure the entire wedding morning was a memorable one. Each bridesmaid got the same quality of care and attention as she did. Top Knot went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly.

In the end, Rachel’s hair looked and felt fuller, her beautiful curls kept their shape and her makeup lasted all night.

The Parlour difference

According the Rachel, the Top Knot Parlour was  the most wonderful, well lit and stylish space to get ready for her wedding morning. For her and her bridal party, it was “a dream venue to get primped and primed for one of the most important days in a girls life!”
