Stylist: Margaret Magee | Model: Karen Johnson
Margaret Magee has been a stylist at Elle Style Studio for two years and has years of industry experience. For weddings, Magee primarily provides on-site services, including hair and makeup for women and men. For wedding-day hair in general, Magee says, “I do like to do maxi, textured, effortless, really organic bridal hair, but at the same time, I love the classically simple sleek job that I did on Karen.” She says of her model, “I wanted Karen to have that old-school, Marilyn Monroe-esque beauty radiance.”
Romantic Style Pro Tip: “The No. 1 thing is the hair prep. Brides should get a killer blowout … the day before for the rehearsal dinner, and I’ll set them up with my products, and then the next day it’s already prepped and easier to be smoothed down and styled.”

Stylist: Khatera Nazeri | Model: Catie Howard
Khatera Nazeri founded her on-location hair-and-makeup business, Glamface by Khatera, in June 2015. Largely self-taught, she developed a passion for the industry at a young age. She’s worked with Lou Stevens and works as an open contractor with Avenue 42. For her model, Nazeri created a half-up, half-down style. “Since my model’s hair wasn’t thick enough for that style, I made my own filler and added it on to make her hair look bigger, more textured. Any bride with long hair can rock this style,” she says.
Modern Style Pro Tip: “Exfoliating and moisturizing the skin is the key to a flawless makeup application. For a modern bridal look, make sure to go with a very soft contour and highlights to show the beauty of your features in person and in your photos.”
