**Hey, I'm Shani. 
(it's pronounced shay-nee)**

I'm the hair and makeup artist your planner calls when their client says "can you find us someone that will make us look editorial but not like we're trying too hard but also is funny and fun to hang with?" With over 15 years in the industry, I work on destination weddings for people who understand that beauty isn't a checkbox on their vendor list. I only take on a handful of weddings each year because what I do starts the moment I receive an inquiry and continues through your entire wedding weekend. This isn't showing up with a makeup kit and winging it. It's months of strategy sessions, listening to my clients wants and visions, and creating multiple looks that work in harmony with every single detail of your full weekend celebration. I'm drawn to clients who want to play and who trust me to create something that feels distinctly them, not a carbon copy of everyone else's big day.  When I'm not painting faces or snatching party ponies, I'm at home in Nashville with my husband Jesse and our boys, who think what I do for a living is "put makeup on fancy people" (accurate) and "travel" (also accurate).

SHANI GAILBREATH

5.1.25 - 5.3.25
Shani was an absolute rockstar over my wedding weekend! She arrived early on Thursday to do my hair and makeup preview.
 I loved every look and was even more excited for my wedding day after this experience! Shani is professional, kind, and her energy helped keep me calm throughout a stressful weekend. She showed up ready to work! I trusted her with my beauty looks for our Friday night welcome party, Saturday wedding day, and then she stayed to help with hair and make up for my sparkly dance floor outfit change.
She gave me the bra off her own back when mine wasn't working out with my dress change! I felt so beautiful and confident in every look Shani did for me.
Do not hesitate in hiring this queen! She is the BEST xx
