Faces By Shannon

Faces By Shannon is a hair and makeup studio based in Winter Park, Florida. The team was created in 2019 by CEO Shannon Buzzerio, and it works both from the studio and on location.

Artists travel for on-location work across Central Florida, including Tampa, Orlando, Daytona, Miami and Jacksonville, and the team serves the entire state. The team also works in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, takes weddings in the UK, and is available for destination celebrations.

Bridal hair and makeup is a core offering. Hair is styled for curly, straight, wavy, long, cropped, bobbed, short, natural or colored hair, and makeup is fitted to all skin tones, from natural looks to full contour, with shimmer or matte finishes. Event work covers fitness or dance competitions, graduations, anniversaries, galas and nights out. Commercial work is designed for how skin photographs and films, and covers on-set and outdoor shoots, corporate marketing collateral and video shoots. Editorial work covers magazine spreads, fashion layouts, television appearances and news features. Photoshoot hair and makeup includes headshots.

Consultations are complimentary, last 10 to 15 minutes, and can be done by phone or at the studio. To hold a date, a $50 deposit is required, after which a draft outline of contracted services is sent. The contract is finalized 30 days before the event, including the final headcount, and final payment is due 7 days before. Headcount changes after 30 days are still billed in busy months, September through May. Payments are accepted through Venmo or PayPal, and add-ons booked on the day can be paid in cash.

The team uses green, cruelty-free products and the business is licensed and insured, with licensed artists. Office hours are Monday through Friday, and weekends are kept for clients and brides. The studio lists media and brand clients among its work, including FOX35 Orlando, Toyota and The Knot.

Works to bring out each client's natural beauty by getting to know who they are and what helps them feel their best. A trial session follows the consultation, and the team arrives on schedule with cleaned, prepped tools.
