The sweetest bridal crew came to Afterglow today, and I just have to say how much I enjoyed having them. 🥹💗

Marissa, thank you so much for choosing Afterglow to be a tiny part of such a special season in your life! It was an absolute joy getting to meet you and spend time with your sisters, your mom, and your grandma. You ladies were genuinely SO sweet, and I loved having you all in the studio. ☀️✨

Marissa has so much to celebrate — becoming a bride, heading off to honeymoon in beautiful Colorado, AND starting her very first year as a 4th grade teacher! 🍎📚 I hope your honeymoon is everything you dreamed of, and that you come home rested, happy, and ready to make that classroom completely yours. Those fourth graders are getting one excited new teacher! 💕

And Mom… what a year for your heart. 🥹 Watching your babies reach so many huge milestones all at once has to be such a beautiful, emotional season of motherhood.

Wishing Marissa and her soon-to-be husband a lifetime of love, laughter, friendship, and beautiful adventures together. 🤍 And wishing this entire family so much happiness as they celebrate all the exciting things this year is bringing.

Thank you, ladies, for spending part of such a special week with me at Afterglow. It truly was a pleasure having every single one of you. Congratulations, Marissa! 👰🏼‍♀️💍✨

Here’s to the wedding, the honeymoon, the new classroom, and a whole new chapter. 🤍☀️

✨ BOOKING POLICY UPDATE ✨

Beginning August 1, all new clients will be required to have a valid card on file when scheduling an appointment.

💳 Your card will NOT be charged at the time of booking.
It will simply be kept securely on file and will only be charged if applicable under Afterglow by Gretchen’s posted cancellation and no-show policy.

When you reserve an appointment, that time is set aside specifically for you. Requiring a card on file helps protect appointment availability, allows me to consistently enforce booking policies, and keeps scheduling fair for everyone.

I completely understand that life happens, and communication is always appreciated! 💗

Thank you for respecting my time, my small business, and the other clients who may be waiting for an appointment.

✨ Effective August 1, 2026
