Mézon Noire Office

The name Mézon Noire translates to House of Black. Tiara and Chris Steed own the business and started it together after working as full-time entrepreneurs. Its stated mission is to empower people through beauty and self-care, and it welcomes brides and grooms as well as clients of any gender.

Beyond client work, the business says it supports people starting out in beauty through mentorship, education and outreach. The owners say they have offered their expertise to celebrities, supermodels and high-end clothing brands, and the business calls its team an elite collective of beauty professionals and partners.

Services range from makeup and hair to lash application, wig installation and one-on-one makeup classes, with bridal and group packages for events. Hours depend on the provider, so availability is set by each professional. Tiara Chanell takes bookings through her own online page, and other providers have separate booking links on the services page.

Booking follows a clear set of rules. Deposits are required to secure any appointment and are non-refundable. Bridal services are not reserved until the bride has completed a consultation and signed a contract. Parties and bridal engagements are recommended six months to a year ahead and no later than 90 days before the event, with remaining balances due one week before. Cancelling within 30 days incurs a fee of 30% of the remaining balance, and cancelling within 7 days requires the full balance. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, but checks and money orders are not. Booking a bridal party or event secures the full team unless a specific provider is reserved. Merchandise is a final sale, with store credit or exchange offered only for items that are unused, unworn and undamaged.

Mézon Noire frames its work around empowerment through beauty and self-care, and it invests in mentoring and educating people who want to enter the beauty field.
