Dianne has worked in the cosmetology profession as an Instructor for 30 years, currently licensed in the State of Hawaii. Two of the classes Dianne was always asked to teach most in salons were elegant and long hair designs, and makeup application. She developed a love and an expertise in these areas.

       After moving to Kauai in 1985, Dianne decided to focus her efforts to provide on-site services for bridal parties. She strives to provide "personal services" and treats each bride with lots of special attention and pampering. Dianne says: "I love helping brides! It is a day of great joy and celebration, and it is always an honor and a privilege to be part of it. We always have a lot of fun and I come away feeling so good!"

         Dianne loved teaching and traveling, but it wasn’t until she started to focus her work in helping brides that she felt “Aha, this is what I’m supposed to be doing. This is why I went to school and learned all of this.” All of her past experience with teaching and doing platform work, sometimes preparing a dozen models in a very short time, enables her to work well under pressure, with a confidence and calmness that is very reassuring and fun.
