The Artistic Team

Kristen McInerney
Hair Designer


My name is Kristen and I have been a stylist for over 10 years. Over those years I've come to love the art of up-do's and styling for weddings, proms, and important events. Creating a hairstyle for each individual person is my passion. I've started a business to make your day less stressful, I come to you! I bring everything to whatever location is convenient for you and bring a team of girls to fit your needs. I work with an experienced and skilled team who can bring an edgy, classic, or elegant style to your special occasion.


I was married to my high school sweetheart in January of 2006 and we had our daughter, Addison, on November 15, 2006 and we recently had our son, Danny, on March 23, 2009. I remember how nervous I was, even being a stylist, about my own hair on my wedding day. I was fortunate enough to know some great stylists who came to the hotel to do my whole wedding party of 14! We didn't have to go anywhere or get caught up in the commotion of a busy salon. We ordered some breakfast and just relaxed and enjoyed each others company while the soft music played and the aroma of candles burned around us. I remembered being in the moment and not getting nervous over time schedules. On that day I though of creating this experience for anyone to enjoy.

Colleen Riley
Massage Therapy


 Colleen Riley-
Nationally Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist


Suffering from spinal related seizures at the age of fourteen, Colleen was introduced to the benefits of massage at a young age.  Her Chiropractor, along with the help of an amazing massage therapist, did what doctors couldn’t and cured her seizures. This experience opened her eyes to the many possibilities of massage and holistic treatments and put a special yearning on her heart to return the favor. Three years ago, Colleen finally turned her passion into profession. After trying her hand at a brief career in marketing, she went back to school for massage and was finally able to put her hands to good use.

She has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. She has experience working with one of the largest, top rated spas in Michigan and continues to educate herself and perfect her craft. She received her national certification through NCTMB and is certified and educated in a variety of modalities including Swedish, Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Pre-Natal, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Body treatments/wraps, and Chair massage.

She has had the pleasure of massaging many brides and friends on and before their special day. Massage is always the best way to ease the stress and jitters of the coming wedding day and to have a chance to breathe and focus on the irreplaceable time at hand.

 “ I’ve always been moved by the stories of the preparation of the bride in ancient times…There’s nothing quite as special as the time a bride is preparing herself with anticipation for her big day- it is a sacred, beautiful moment and I am always honored and humbled by the experience.”–Colleen
