"The Merge"
So a little over a year ago I did this wedding and I met this amazing hair stylist. We didn't end up actually doing that wedding together but we were networked through the bride and in our first conversation discovered we had alot in common.
For a long time I didn't even work with a hair stylist seeing as I could never find anyone that I was blown away by. Well... when Mandy (who is the owner and creator of http://www.lasorellabridal.com/) and I did our first trial together we were both totally aghast by the way our work complimented each other.
That trial, in fact, lead to our both being on "Who's Wedding is it Anyway?" courtesy of Kristin Rockhill of http://www.detailsofido.com/.
In an event, we learned that not only was our work absolutely complementary of one another-- but we seemed to have the same idea's in terms of customer service, "the customer experience" and a general light hearted but hard-working approach to our businesses.
We both share the same philosophy in that a bride not only has to feel 110% comfortable with the makeup and hair-- but mainly, the need to feel comfortable with you. No one wants some uppity, ego-maniac, overwhelming artist on their special day.
So, over the past year Mandy and I not only have worked together but we have decided to be business partners. We merged our companies and although we still run them as two entirely different entities we understand that the work we do in tandem is nothing short of a masterpiece.
We have become best friends and find that at every time we try to unwind-- like a nice dinner with a glass of wine etc. we end up throwing around ideas, brainstorming, and basically just being non-stop about "The Merge" he he. It is rare being a young entrepreneur and finding someone who shares the same passion and vigor for their business as you do-- so our ability to truly understand one another is priceless.
I would like to introduce all of you guys to not only my business partner, but my best friend Mandy Liento.
