Natalie Reponen created the color, Sarah Remer did the makeup, and reVamp! salonspa in Minneapolis housed the entire event.

MAKEOVER! A New Chapter.
Alison was SO ready for a change and up for anything, which really helps. Her personality was so big I felt she needed to keep the drama, but in a softened approach. The complete change of focus to the eye … Continue reading
