Who’s in the chair

Priced by the person, so the math is easy.

The bride$425

Hair and makeup, lashes, a trial at our studio, and Roz herself. Your lipstick and a touch-up kit go home with your maid of honor.
Bridesmaids$150

Hair and makeup, lashes included. Curls, a half-up, a low bun: everyone picks her own, and we make it look like one party.
Moms$165

Grandmothers too. A little more time in the chair, skin prep that works on skin that has seen some summers, and a lipstick that stays put through the hugging.
Flower girls$65

Hair only: a braided crown, soft curls or a little bun, with a flower tucked in. A swipe of lip balm if she asks.

Lashes and the bride’s trial are included. Extra trial, $150. Stay through the reception for touch-ups, $200. Rehearsal dinners and showers, $150 a person.

Our story

Hey y’all, I’m Roz.

My grandmother Nell set hair in her kitchen in Summerville every Saturday morning for the ladies from church. I was seven, and my job was to hand her the pins, one at a time, and not drop any in the sweet tea.

In 2012 I was a bridesmaid at my best friend Lacey’s wedding on Sullivan’s Island, and the hairstylist never came. So I did it: seven bridesmaids and the bride, on a screened porch, with my own curling iron and a box of bobby pins from the drugstore, in my sage dress with a towel over it. By the reception three of the guests had asked for my number.

I was nine years into a salon chair downtown by then. Two years later I left to do the part I love: the wedding morning, with everybody in the room. Rosalind & Co. is me and five women I trust with my own mother, and the rule is the one from Lacey’s porch: the whole party gets ready together, and nobody gets done last in a hurry.

Charleston is hot and it is humid, and I believe in hair that is set like it knows that, makeup that looks like skin at ninety-two degrees, and moms who get as much time in the chair as anyone.

Questions

The things everybody asks.

How do I hold my Saturday?

Pick your date below and pay the $150 deposit. The Saturday is yours, and the deposit comes off the bride’s total. The rest is due on the wedding morning.

Is there a minimum?

For a Saturday, four people in the chair, the bride included. Fridays and Sundays have no minimum, and we love a small wedding.

How many artists will come?

One for every three or four of you, so nobody waits and the bride is never rushed. The calculator above tells you, and we confirm it at your trial.

Does the bride need a trial?

It’s included in her $425, at our studio in Wagener Terrace, about two months before. Bridesmaids don’t need one: send us a photo of the dress and a look you like.

What about the humidity?

Charleston in June is ninety-two degrees with a breeze you can wear. Curls are set with heat and pinned cool, makeup is set twice, and the maid of honor gets a kit with blotting papers, pins and the bride’s lipstick.

Can a bridesmaid pay for herself?

Of course. Most parties do it that way. Each bridesmaid gets her own link to pay on the morning, and the bride never has to chase anyone.

Reserve

$150 holds the Saturday.

Saturdays in April, May, October and November go first, often a year out. Pick your date, count your party, and Roz texts you within the day to say hello.
