Dear Nancy,
 I just wanted to thank you again for everything on the 15th! Mike and I have been traveling since then and are currently in Shanghai (otherwise we would send you a hand written note!) but I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your work and your efforts to help the afternoon go so smoothly! You certainly made my mothers and I beautiful, and we also appreciated your help with the pictures, flowers and making sure we got on the road in one piece! Good thing you were behind the minibus to notice the back door was ajar! I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on my makeup, we will certainly send any in search of a cosmetic artist your way. It was truly a pleasure meeting you, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer and thanks again for playing such a big part in making the day so memorable!
All the best,
Heather :)

Nancy Hathaway-Hopowiec was extremely accomodating to our needs. Professional in demeanor, she has extensive expertise in her field but, simultaneously, is responsive to the wishes of her clients. Miriam, Mother of the Bride 11-8-08 Nancy is very professional and talented. She made me feel like the prettiest bride! I highly recommend her to anyone, she'll bring out the best in you with her make-up expertise! Britany 12-17-08 Choosing a make-up artist for your wedding day is an important decision - you want to obviously look beautiful (in person and in pictures!) but also want to choose someone who will add to the experience of one of the most memorable days of your life. I chose Nancy after seeing the before and after pictures on her website and talking with her on the phone. From our first conversation, I was impressed by her professional, caring and very calm personality. She was very flexible when I wanted to make last-minute changes to my make-up.
On the morning of my wedding she arrived at my apartment to do my make-up and one of my bridesmaid's. Nancy was a very calming influence on what could be a stressful day. She put me at ease with her professional nature and competence. She was absolutely wonderful. She obviously takes great pride in her work and was meticulous. My make-up looked great - in person and in pictures and I received a lot of compliments. I would highly recommend Nancy's services to any bride-to-be!!! Erin 10-6-07
Nancy Hathaway-Hopowiec is a consummate professional. She takes great pride in her work and it shows in her artistry and top-notch service. Her products are natural and of the highest quality, and she is always responsive to any questions and all requests.
Nancy is a gifted make-up artist and so reasonably priced, approachable and wonderful to work with. She met with me first for a trial make-up session. I was especially impressed with the way she really listened to my thoughts and preferences as I like a natural look. Using her expertise based on my preferences, she made magic! In addition, Nancy has a special quality about her that is very soothing. She radiates peace and calm. On my wedding day, Nancy's talents made me feel beautiful and her inner peace put me at ease. Nancy is truly a gem!
Kim 8-14-04 Nancy took the time to consult with me before the actual wedding day, she tried many different make up looks, and photographed them so we could decide what looked best. She was in constant communication with me, and takes great pride in her work. She even met the wedding party at our hotel the day of the wedding, and made use of that space to get all of the girl's make up done. She was very conscientious, and made sure everyone was happy with their look before moving on to the next girl. She did a wonderful job, and even helped me to cover up some unexpected blemishes that came up that day, so they were barely (if at all) noticeable. We got SO many compliments on our make up! I would absolutely recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a professional, and very personable make up artist! Amy 9-13-08 Nancy has great products and a true talent to create a personalized and perfect look. I would strongly recommend her and have to other brides. My bridesmaids and I were complimented numerous times on our makeup and you will be happy having her at your special event she is such a nice person. Nikki 9-2-06

| Makeup is often overlooked when planning your wedding, prom or other special occasion. People always remember their hair, but they don’t realize that to look good in your Photos, you really need to have good makeup applied for photographic results. What you may not notice with your naked eye will be captured forever by the camera, possibly belying your natural beauty....Similar to other professions, makeup artists specialize within their discipline. As a trained makeup artist, Nancy understands how lasting images are created and uses the proper tools and techniques to achieve the best photographic results for your unique features and wedding setting. Being camera-ready will produce infinitely more flattering and much more natural photographic results.
Nancy is trained in the art and craft of photography makeup, was featured on Cox television and has done work with speakers on public access television. Nancy's makeup training began in 1992 and involved doing complete make-overs at area salons and she gradually became involved with local studios providing photographic makeup. Nancy's training also includes working with Laura Mercier cosmetics, Bobbi Brown cosmetics and Este Lauder corporation. Nancy continues to develop her talent in the latest makeup trends and techniques. Having earned an enviable reputation within the industry as a fantastic make-up artist, she is currently the recommended make-up artist at many area events. "My personal choice and philosophy is soft, subtle Make-up, to enhance your best features and make you look naturally radiant and beautiful on your big day. My goal is to have people notice you, not your make-up. When they look at you, they see you, your radiance, beauty and sparkle, not your makeup. There are many women however, that like a more dramatic look. If that is your style, please let me know so I can accomodate your needs." Hair Stylists View Hair-Style Pictures
There’s a lot to do on the journey to achieving the desired look before you walk down the aisle, not only for yourself but for your bridesmaids and your guests.
All the brides that come to Be Yourself Beauty have one thing in common, they all want to look like a million dollars on their special day and Be Yourself Beauty is here to make that dream come true for you.
Working within the hairdressing industry since 1994, Nancy works with the area's most sought after wedding hair stylists. Attending to hundreds of brides every year and having had the privilege of dressing hundreds of girls wedding hair, Be Yourself Beauty will ensure that you can enjoy your wedding day without having a bad hair day. The Be Yourself Beauty team has a wealth of knowledge, experience and inspiration to give to all their future brides. Working with so many brides on their wedding day, we understand the stress the brides are under leading up to the big day. Working on location at various photo shoots with professional photographers, make-up artists and stylists, our stylists have gained invaluable knowledge and experience to ensure our customers always look amazing.
