Casey Contours

Casey Contours began as a weekend side project doing makeup for clients and grew into a full-time business within a few years of its start in 2022. The studio is at 119 Main St, Studio 8, across the street from the Phoenixville Federal Bank. Besides working from the studio, the team travels to clients' locations in Philadelphia and the Tri-State Area.

Bridal work is the studio's core. Packages range from a Signature Bridal Glam for the bride alone to larger packages that cover the bride and a wedding party, and the 1st Class and A-List packages include makeup for up to three guests. Makeup is matched to skin tone and type after a skin analysis, and the studio says it is designed to last roughly 8 to 12 hours depending on humidity or precipitation. Bridal trials are recommended, run about 120 minutes, and are offered only to booked brides after a signed contract and deposit; other clients can book a regular event makeup appointment. Wedding parties of up to five bridesmaids plus the bride are covered, while larger parties bring assistant artists. Wedding-morning timelines are built from the ready-by time and travel time and set about a month before the day. Testimonials on the website describe the bridal makeup and wedding-day support as attentive and calming.

The skin side of the studio covers HydraFacial treatments, custom signature facials in 60 or 90 minute sessions, dermaplaning, chemical peels and an Acne Bootcamp. The Signature HydraFacial is a no-downtime treatment under an hour, the Deluxe version adds customized boosters for concerns such as fine lines, dullness, enlarged pores or uneven texture with LED light therapy, and the Platinum version adds massage, lymphatic drainage, dermaplaning and a finish with SPF. Acne Bootcamp uses the Face Reality Acne Protocol with at-home custom skincare over 8 to 12 weeks, beginning with an assessment of lifestyle, stress and nutrition. The studio says it works with clients of all skin tones and types, including sensitive, mature and acne-prone skin.

Brow services include shaping and tinting with brow mapping, brow waxing shaped to each client's features, brow lamination and a brow retreat that adds a scalp massage and under-eye masks. Hypoallergenic and vegan wax options are available, along with a zinc oxide wax for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Clients are asked to avoid active skincare ingredients for three to four days after a brow lamination.

To book, clients send an inquiry form through the website and receive a quote within 24 to 48 hours. The steps are an availability reply, a questionnaire, a proposal, and then a signed contract and deposit, after which a confirmation email is sent. Payment can be made by Venmo or cash, and the bride pays for the whole wedding party. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person and through the booking platform for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment. The business is insured through Elite Beauty Society. Travel is priced by distance, and hotel accommodations are required for destinations two or more hours from the owner's home in Glenmoore, PA.

The studio says home skincare accounts for most of the results it works toward, with corrective facials making up the rest, and it builds treatment plans around each client's lifestyle and budget.
