Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish and communities across Manatee County
Bridal hair and makeup in Bradenton and Manatee County
Bradenton sits along the Manatee River. I'm Kristen Palmieri, and I come to you wherever your morning starts, so you can get ready in one calm room with the people you love.
I have more than twenty years of bridal experience. I built Chic Artiste in North New Jersey, and I'm now on Florida's Gulf Coast, where I bring the same care and patience to every wedding morning.
Getting ready anywhere in Manatee County
Manatee County reaches from the Bradenton riverfront to Palmetto, Parrish and the barrier islands just to the west. When you reach out, please share the address where you'll be getting ready and the place where your ceremony will be. That lets me plan our timing around the drive between the two, so you're never watching the clock while your hair is being finished.
Looks for river breezes and Florida heat
If your ceremony is near the water, I plan for sun, humidity and breeze from the start. I build your hair with enough structure to keep its shape all day while it still moves naturally and feels soft to the touch. Your makeup is prepared for the warmth, so it looks fresh in bright daylight and just as lovely in your evening photographs.
Families, bridal parties, and just the bride
For larger parties, I lead every booking and work with trusted partner artists so everyone is ready on time. If it's only you, I'm just as happy to book just the bride, with no minimum.
Simple pricing
Rates are per person, per service. Bride hair is $125 and bride makeup is $125. For your bridal party, hair is $100 and makeup is $100 per person. Lashes are included with every makeup service. Every package includes travel and your date reservation, including in Palmetto and Parrish.
When you're ready, tell me your date, your getting ready address in Bradenton or Manatee County, and how many people would like hair, makeup or both.
Bradenton and Manatee County questions
Is the travel fee different for Palmetto or Parrish?
No. Travel to Palmetto and Parrish and your date reservation are included in every package. I come to homes, hotels and venues in both communities, so simply share your address when you reach out.
We're getting ready in Bradenton, but our ceremony is on the beach. How should we plan the timing?
If you're getting ready on the mainland and driving west to the islands, keep in mind that the bridges from Bradenton onto Anna Maria Island are drawbridges that open for boats. I'll plan to finish with extra room for the drive, and I'll set your hair with the beach breeze in mind.
Is there a minimum number of services?
No. I happily book just the bride, and there is no required party size. If your group grows, I work with trusted partner artists and still lead the morning myself.
