Experienced,  Professional,  Freelance Hair & Make - up Artists


About Bri:

Bri first began styling hair in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating cosmetology school, she trained under master stylists at Stilo Salon for one and a half years, (who's work has been featured in Elle, Allure, & W magazines) where she developed her technical skills, & creative artistry. She then moved up to Portland, and began styling hair on her own exclusively at Aveda salons in the Portland metro area. After working in salons for 8 years, in order to have more flexibility (after having her second baby boy) she decided to leave the salon. She began working in her home salon, and on location for weddings. She continues her education as she attends top hair classes, shows, & conventions each year. Bri has always loved styling formal & bridal hair.  After working weddings for a few years,  Bri connected with Nicole Wagner of Powder Inc..  After getting to know each other,  they decided to join forces.  Bri had the amazing opportunity of training extensively with Nicole in her make-up style from 2010- to current.   She has a passion for making brides feel elegant, classy, & fashionable- yet still themselves- on their special day.
