Hair and makeup in Gatineau
Your Gatineau makeup artist, just across the bridge
Gatineau faces Parliament Hill from the other bank of the Ottawa River, a short drive from where our Ottawa artists are based. Whether you’re getting ready in a Hull condo, a family home in Aylmer or a chalet near Gatineau Park, we arrive with professional lighting, a full kit and a hairstylist for every look.
We style the bride, bridesmaids, mothers and anyone else in the wedding party, and work the morning backwards from your ceremony and your photographer’s arrival, so the day begins calmly rather than in a rush.
Four seasons
Wedding hair and makeup for each Outaouais season
The Outaouais has four very different wedding seasons. Here’s how we adapt your look to each one.
Spring
April and May can swing from sunshine to drizzle in an hour, so we favour secure updos, humidity-proof finishes and waterproof lash formulas.
Summer
For lakeside ceremonies in Aylmer and long evenings outdoors, we prep skin to stay matte where it matters and keep the base light enough to breathe.
Autumn
Gatineau Park’s red and gold foliage is a favourite backdrop. Warm, rich tones on lips and cheeks complement those colours without competing with them.
Winter
Cold air outside and dry indoor heat dehydrate skin, so we start with hydrating prep and finish with a soft, dewy radiance that photographs beautifully against snow.
