Your One on One Makeup Lesson
Your wedding is more than a single day. A private makeup lesson can give you the skill to handle your own touch-ups between the big moments, so you feel fresh for every photo.
We will focus entirely on what you want to learn. We can work on creating a soft look for a family gathering, or finally master that sharp winged eyeliner you have always wanted.
A Makeup Class for Beginners
If you are new to makeup or just want to refine your skills, this is a great place to begin. It is your time to ask all your questions in a comfortable and personal setting.
We will go step by step through a full look, explaining each part of the process so it all makes sense. You will leave knowing how to recreate it yourself.
Learn with the Makeup You Already Own
The goal is to make you comfortable with your own tools. Bring your makeup bag to your lesson, from your favorite foundations to the palettes you have never opened.
We will go through it all together. We can help you discover new ways to use what you have and suggest what might be missing for the looks you want to create.

From our brides
A calm wedding morning is everything.
Sana and her team were exceptional during my entire wedding week. Each look was unique and came out better than I even imagined! They used their expertise to recommend what would look best on me, my family, and friends. They were all also very kind and professional. Highly recommend SKS!
I hired SKS Salon for my Sangeet for myself and wedding for my bridesmaids! The team was amazing. They made sure everyone was ready to go on time and they did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup! I would definitely recommend them to any bride!
I hired SKS salon for my wedding/reception and for my bridesmaids. The team was very professional, on time, and welcoming. I loved both my wedding and reception look! Sana did a great job executing the style I was going for. Everyone was so easy to talk to, fun, and listened to our concerns.
