Spokane Bridal Makeup Artist - Shasta Hankins - Vendor Review
Introduction
Spokane Bridal Makeup Artist, Shasta Hankins
Bridal makeup artists are one of the essential vendors of every wedding day. Though there are many in the Spokane and Coeur d’ Alene area, few are as great at what they do as Shasta Hankins. I have had the opportunity to work with Shasta many times over the last few years and her end product is always incredible.
Shasta Hankins is a makeup artist who is local to the Spokane Area. She has worked in the wedding makeup industry for over 15 years and is one of the top rated artists in Spokane.
Her style has always been very natural and not at all over done or flashy. As strange as it sounds, I am very picky when it comes to wedding makeup and this is one of the many things I like about Shasta’s work. On top of this, she is also amazing with her clients. She is very personable and friendly and you can tell she loves what she does every day. I have never heard anything but great things from brides who have had her do their makeup on their wedding day.
I had the opportunity recently to do a quick interview with Shasta about her work and business so that you might be able to get to know a little more about her and why I recommend her as a vendor.
Interview
1) Tell me a brief history of you and your business, how it started, and how it has grown?
Shasta Hankins Makeup is based in Spokane, WA and serves clients in the surrounding area. I have worked in the bridal makeup industry for over fifteen years in the Pacific Northwest. I decided to take the big leap and start my own mobile airbrush makeup service business in 2010. I saw a need for on-location beauty services for weddings. My dream was big and the need was there! Since then, I have grown my business with over 2,000 weddings under my belt. I decided to expand by offering luxury airbrush services in a private setting by opening up a gorgeous studio in downtown Spokane in 2012.
2) What sets your business apart from others? What are a couple things you take pride in?
I have a diverse experience with years in the beauty/makeup industry including multiple productions, commercial shoots, Best of Broadway Series and some of the largest productions in the region. I am also a one woman show who prides herself on exceptional customer service. Majority of my business comes from repeat customers and referrals. When you call to inquiry about your date or set up an appointment, you speak directly to the owner. I like to be very involved and hands on with my bridal clients. I ask lots of questions and want to know all your details! Those are the moments that make me love my job. It is such a special day that and want you to have the best experience possible.
3) What should future or current brides know about wedding makeup?
Future brides should give themselves ample time for preparation and getting ready time on their big day. Always consult with your photographer ahead of time to discuss your wedding itinerary. Do your homework by researching before choosing your makeup artist. Remember quality of service does equal price. Make sure you sign a contract and have good communication with your artist.
Conclusion
As you can see, Shasta has quite a history in the industry. It is no wonder why she is one of the most sought after vendors in the area. Her expertise and experience is unlike that of any other Spokane bridal makeup artist. If you want the absolute best for your wedding day, look no further than Shasta Hankins.
