Returning with our bi-monthly Wedding Column on Escapes Magazine online. This week we want to focus on hair & make-up! Neysa Berman owner of Blanc Salon located inside Mar Adentro Spa in Pedregal, talked to us about her experience as a Hair and Make up artist in Los Cabos.

Neysa studied Hair & Make up at the Academy of Cosmetology Arts in Colorado and was trained by MAC cosmetics, she now has more than 8 years experience in the business. It is always her top priority to ensure that each bride look flawless on her wedding day.

The name “Blanc” represents a concept that is clean, simple and classic. After recognizing the high demand for quality bridal services in Los Cabos, Neysa and Spa Mar Adentro opened Blanc Salon. Now that she has lived here four years, she and her team of professionally trained stylists have contributed to the happiness of many beautiful brides! Blanc Salon and Spa Mar Adentro can now accommodate weddings with up to 50 services that include hair and make-up, manicure, pedicure, facials and massage. The stylists have been trained in all areas ranging from ethnic hair and make-up to 1940’s hairstyles. Neysa also gives private make-up classes for those clients that are interested in learning how to apply make-up correctly.

Neysa has a very important roll the day of any wedding, she is not only a make-up artist, she becomes a confidant for all brides by being one of the vendors to be with the bride and bridal party a big part of the day, getting everyone ready. She is a friend and makes each client feel comfortable and beautiful.

We asked Neysa what she enjoyed more, hair or make-up? Her answer was that she enjoys the entire process. “Specializing in one area and not the other is like starting a painting without finishing it.”  Her gratification comes from watching the concept come to life.

Lastly, we asked Neysa what her recommendation would be for a bride who comes to Cabo for a destination wedding?  She quickly responded, “Wear sunscreen and drink lots of water!”
