Meet the Visionary Director and Founder of Makeup & Hair 4 Brides

• Hair 4 Brides

As the business grew, so did the need for hair styling services. Lisa began by recommending hair stylists in the business, but after receiving mixed feedback from brides, she decided to launch Hair 4 Brides as well, adhering to the same standards and ethics as Makeup 4 Brides.

They would hire one team for a wedding and only arrange a second wedding for that team if the timings of the first booking did not conflict. They continue to operate in the same manner to this day.

• Expansion

As the company grew, so did the desire to expand beyond the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

They then began receiving inquiries from bridesmaids who had used their services and wanted to utilize the artists in Sydney and Melbourne, so Lisa decided to expand there as well, with local makeup artists and hair stylists in place. 

• New Direction

As the wedding market altered and adapted, as did the ever-changing technology landscape, it became clear that brides’ needs had shifted as well. They desired more information about their personal stylists as well as more options.

Some desired just the most skilled stylists, while others wanted stylists within their budget. Many people were looking for unique services, skills, or had special needs.

This is when the concept of a marketplace website emerged.

• New Marketplace

The custom developed double-sided marketplace was launched after 4 years of development. It puts all of the information for brides at their fingertips, with fast access to explore individual stylist profiles, verify availability, obtain an instant quotation, and book online.

For stylists, the marketplace removes the administrative burden of running a business, allowing them to focus on what they do best: stunning makeup and hair styling.
