About

SMITTIN LLC was founded by a group of artists who are friends. The founders began their careers in the beauty industry independently in 2012, and the team says it has more than ten years of professional experience. The business is run by women.

The work is built around the idea that makeup and hair should bring out the person rather than overpower them. The looks aim for a timeless base with a current, modern finish. Services are performed on location, so a booking can take place wherever the client is getting ready, whether that is a home, a hotel room or an event venue.

The business also works on set for corporate headshots, video shoots, team photo sessions and content days, going to an office or shoot location. Event work covers engagement sessions, weddings, black tie events, theme parties and daytime gatherings.

Beyond styling, the business teaches. The Kit Edit, The Beauty Bestie and The Signature Lesson are designed to help clients build their own routine and kit, and The Bridal Lesson lets brides do their own wedding makeup with professional support. The Beauty Bestie is often booked after The Kit Edit and is recommended before the lessons that follow.

Bookings start with an inquiry form on the website. By booking, clients agree that the service may be photographed or filmed for the business's notes and marketing, unless they tell the business otherwise. The business has also travelled to clients in Woodstock.

Looks are meant to be timeless with a modern edge, and the work is designed to enhance each client rather than cover them up. Services are delivered on location and booking begins with an inquiry form.
