About Me
Hi, my name is Lili Altnether!
Thank you you visiting my page and taking the time get to know me.
Growing up, I always had a passion to create. I always admired artists of all kinds and photography. However I grew up in the restaurant business, so I found myself cooking and answering phones a lot! My parents own and operate a restaurant in Webster Groves and they've been open for 38 years! Between the ages of nine-seventeen, I spent every day after school and Saturdays at the business. I guess that's where you can say I got my work ethic from. It's a grind, and that's all I know.
In 2016, I began playing more and more with hair and make up. Mainly on friends and family. Finally in 2017, I told my husband I was ready to start something new. I took a local make up certification course and traveled to the Make Up First School in Chicago to do a hair styling for make up artist course. From there, I came back home and did many one-on-one hands on classes with other artists in our St. Louis community for both hair and make up. From that I have expanded my knowledge so much. I have been on multiple St. Louis hair and make up teams and freelanced a lot with many photographers. I love this "wedding community" we have in St. Louis! We are constantly building each other up and helping each other when we can. I am so grateful to have made many friends in the industry!
Hair and Make up to me is very personal. I like to help each of my clients create a look that they love to best fit them. One of my favorite quotes is, "Be yourself, everyone is taken". It is something I think about with each client. I want you to look beautiful and feel amazing in your skin. Let me help you create a look just for you!
Aside from doing make up and hair, I am married to best friend Adam and we have a wonderful, fierce two year old daughter and a Great Dane names Zeus. So on the rare off day, you'll find me hanging out with my crew.
Thank you again for taking the time to get to know me! I look forward to meeting you!
You can find my work in the Saint Louis Bridal Magazine, The Pink Bride Magazine, Ladue News Newspaper, Love Inc. Magazine in NY.
Happy Planning,
Lili Altnether
