Elevated Elegance

Elevated Elegance is a wedding beauty business operating out of Reno, Nevada. It is dedicated to helping each client look and feel their best through the wedding celebration, and it describes a collaborative process with wedding packages matched to individual needs.

An easy place to start

Elevated Elegance is LGBTQ+-owned. Beauty appointments can be awkward when a stylist expects a certain kind of client, so working with an owner from the community may help you speak openly about the look you want, whatever it is. A collaborative process leaves room for you to lead.

How a beauty booking usually runs

You contact the team, describe your wedding, and discuss which package fits. Most hair and makeup bookings include a trial, where you try looks before the wedding and adjust. Bring photos, mention your skin type and tell the artist how you normally style yourself so the result still feels like you.

• Bring inspiration photos and your outfit details
• Tell the team about allergies or sensitivities
• Agree a schedule for the wedding morning
• Confirm how many people are being styled

Timing and climate

Reno has a dry high desert climate, and weather swings can affect hair and makeup, especially for outdoor ceremonies near Lake Tahoe or the Sierra foothills. Ask about products that hold through wind, heat or cold, and keep touch-up items nearby.

Questions to ask

Ask whether the team travels to your venue, how many stylists work together on a larger party, what the booking deposit covers, and how a cancellation is handled. Put your start time and finish time in writing.
