CLASSIC, ELEGANT & TIMELESS HAIRSTYLES
My main goal when hairstyling is bringing out people's best version of themselves, always considering what suits you, your features, your dress and the overall vibe.
HOLYWOOD WAVES SPECIALIST
Glamour & Holywood Waves not only takes skill, but time. I took me a lot of practice, resources and time to be able to create this look, specialy when Hair Extensions are applied.

Based in Queenstown, I am used to prepping hair to endure strong wind and extreme weather!
TESTIMONIALS
"I can not recommend Joicy highly enough. She did an amazing job with my hair. I have extremely curly hair and frizz is always a big issue but she managed to make my hair last perfectly for 2 days."
Eunice Arauz
"There are no words to describe how amazing Joicy is! She listened to what I wanted while also injecting her own creative flair - and what's more, both times my hair stayed completely in tact (even when faced with some VERY windy conditions up the mountain). Most importantly, I felt like I was getting my hair done by a friend on a special day [...]
Kelly Teng
"My hair was exacly what I wanted and stayed perfectly in place all day despite lots of wind, a helicopter and a boat! Couldn't recommend her enough"

I have different Bridal Packages to suit you if you are eloping or having a big Bridal Party!
I am the girl that helps you to zip your dress, to put your shoes on. I will remind you to drink water and have some food. I will answer the door, I will tell stories about how it was pouring rain on my wedding day to make you feel better.
If I get the feeling you want to have some quiet, I'll let you be. If I get the feeling that me talking will help you calm your nerves, I'll do that. I will say how your nails look good, or how I love the earrings you are wearing and I will MEAN IT.
I will help you choose between this and that if you ask my opinion. I'll tell you about the amazing places you can visit while in Queenstown. I will show interest in how you and your partner met.
And I won't do all that because I have to.
None of it it's part of my job.
I'll do it because I LOVE TO.
Because this ISN'T JUST a way for me to bring money home. I am TRULY PASSIONATE about being part of someone's wedding day. It makes me feel FULFILLED and happy.
I choose every day to be a business woman, but when you meet me, I am a human first.
Not everyone have bridesmaids around that can do all that for them. Not everyone can have their mothers or sisters present on their wedding day. So I gladly help in
any way I can.
HELPFULL INFORMATION FOR BRIDES

FACE FRAMING TRIMING
HOW TO HAVE A RELAXING/HAPPY BRIDAL PARTY.
Plan extra time for hair and makeup.
Send references to the hairstylist of how you want the bridesmaids hair to look. Do that ahead of time.
If you're staying at a Airbnb or hotel, have only close friends/family at your Bridal Party. Too many people becomes loud and messy, making it hard for you to relax.
Have relaxing music playing on the background.
Have a plate of fruit, cheese and some champagne to enjoy with your bridesmaids
Looking good is important, but the most important thing is too celebrate love and to have a happy day. Try to focus on that.
Keep it in mind that not everything will go as planned, but people won't even notice, so try no to stress too much.
Enjoy the day as much as you can, it goes so fast.
WHY DON'T RECOMMEND PUTTING THE BRIDESMAIDS NAMESON SCHEDULE:
Because 99% of the time is not how it happens. The best thing you can do is have everyone to arrive at the same time for your bridal party and just enjoy the morning together. That way there's no risk of them being late for their time on schedule and if we finish someone earlier we can start the next person who is already there totally available.
Makeup artists and hairstylists are used to working together and we'll keep a good communication and flexibility to see who goes next. As long as everyone is doing something, it will be fine.
Keep in mind that a bridesmaid/ guest hair can take 00:40-1:00 and the there's no way to know exactly how long is going to take in advance, each hair and hairstyle is unique.
Is very important to allow some time for retouches at the end and if not needed, everyone can just chill and have a glass of bubbles.
LET'S TALK ABOUT REAL EXPECTATIONS.
When choosing a picture to show your hairstylist keep in mind:
Your hair color:
Choose a picture with your hair color. Foils and highlights add texture to an updo, that doesn't happen in a brunette for example.
Your hair length/texture:
Having short, brittle or fine hair will directly impact the hairstyle, even if we use padding and good products + techniques. Talking to your hairstylist prior to the event and showing a picture of your hair + a Inspo picture is the best way to align expectations.
It might be worth considering extensions on your wedding day if volume is important to you.
Hair down:
Does your hair normally hold curls?
Sometimes good products can do the trick, sometimes is just not enough and an updo would be welcome.
Extensions:
If you choose to have extensions on your wedding, communicate your hairstylist. Is better to apply the extension in advance so you have time to match the color and have a haircut if necessary. It's also an opportunity to get used to it and see if it suits you.
THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A HAIRSTYLE
Do you usually wear your hair up or down?
Does your hair usually hold curls?
Do you feel more comfortable with middle or side parting?
Do you feel awkward with your ears or forehead exposed?
