Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I’m delighted you’ve discovered my services.

Before we delve into the details of your special day, allow me to introduce myself and provide some insight into my background and the services I offer.

As a mobile stylist, my mission is to ensure you look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day. I offer expert hairstyling services throughout the Durham Region and its surrounding areas. With extensive experience working in various beauty salons across the Durham Region, I have found my true passion in on-location bridal styling.

I hold a degree in cosmetology from Art & Technique and am a certified makeup artist. Since 2013, I have been actively involved in the wedding beauty industry. Prior to this, I gained valuable experience in the fashion sector with David's Bridal Canada, where I was part of the pioneering team that launched the brand in Canada. My career also includes numerous bridal shows across southern Ontario, which have broadened my knowledge and network in the industry.

On a personal note, I am a mother of two grade-school sons who bring immense joy to my life. Balancing family life and my business is a rewarding challenge that I embrace fully.

My aim is to provide a personalized and stress-free experience for each of my clients, treating every bride as if she were a member of my own family. I strive to offer competitive and accessible pricing, ensuring that my services deliver exceptional value. Having been a bride myself, I understand the financial pressures associated with weddings and am committed to offering realistic and fair pricing.

Should you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve your dream look for your special day.

Warm regards,

Kathleen Goltsis
