Karmel Design Team Artistry

The team works out of a base in Apopka and serves the greater Orlando area, with clients in Winter Park, Windermere, Lake Nona, Lake Mary, Sanford, Mount Dora, Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Kissimmee and the Disney resorts. The business also lists Tampa, Daytona Beach, Cocoa Beach and St. Augustine among the areas it covers.

Bridal work is the team's core. Artists go to the client for on-site hair and makeup at weddings, elopements, intimate weddings and destination weddings, including hotels, villas, private homes, resorts and Central Florida venues. Bridal party services cover bridesmaids, mothers, other family members and guests. The team has worked with destination brides traveling from the UK and Europe, and with elopements, small weddings and large bridal parties alike.

Before the wedding day, a bridal hair and makeup trial is offered as a personalized two-hour appointment. It includes a consultation, a full hair trial and a full makeup trial. Trial spots are limited and are confirmed once they are scheduled. Hairstyle options include soft glam, full glam, natural glam, Hollywood waves, updos and half-up looks.

Beyond weddings, the team offers special event hair and makeup for galas, corporate events, quinceañeras, engagement and maternity sessions, birthdays and milestone celebrations. Its production service covers hair, makeup and grooming for branding shoots, commercials, campaigns, editorials, video productions, photoshoots, film, TV, streaming, live events, media appearances, headshots and branding sessions.

Requests start with a quote form, where clients give the event date, the venue, how many guests are attending, which services they're after, and what time they need to be finished getting ready. Staff take consultations and book services every day of the week, from 8 in the morning until 8 at night. Conversations can happen in English or Spanish, whether the person is a client, a family member, part of a bridal party, a planner or a vendor. According to the business, it never sells personal information, and it passes details only to team members or outside providers who need them to complete a request.

Bridal looks are planned around the client's skin, style, wedding timeline, venue, weather and photography needs. Makeup starts with professional skin prep and uses long-wear products and application techniques, and the team offers timeline support to organize the wedding morning around each client's day.
