When Paris Comes to Nashville: Glamming an International Hermès Team
Updated: Oct 5
"3 Artists | 15-20+ Guests | 1 Live Band | 1 Night"
Some nights remind me why I built this business the way I did. In October 2025, our team was booked for an Hermès brand activation. The guest list included corporate employees flown in from Paris, plus a live band performing throughout the night. We provided full dinner service and an open bar. The room was full of people who work for one of the most recognized luxury houses in the world, expecting the same level of polish they'd get anywhere else on earth. Nashville doesn't get many nights like that. I made sure we brought one.
Elevated for the Occasion
We didn't show up with a standard event setup. For this one, we brought in elevated, light-up vanities. This kind of setup makes a getting-ready space feel like part of the experience, not just a functional pit stop before the party starts. Paired with our professional-grade, luxury product kits, the goal was simple: whoever sat down in that chair—whether they were local, had just landed from Paris, or were about to walk on stage—should feel like they'd stepped into a proper glam experience.
Three Artists, One Detailed Itinerary
An event at this level doesn't run on instinct alone; it runs on a plan. All three of us worked from a detailed itinerary for the night. This covered the initial application for the full guest list and the band, plus scheduled touch-ups timed around the live performance and dinner service. That structure allowed three artists to deliver a consistent, elevated standard across dozens of people. Not a single person felt rushed or overlooked, whether it was their first sit-down of the night or their third touch-up before the band took the stage.
Glamming performers adds its own layer. Stage lighting, movement, and sweat under hot lights during a live set create unique challenges. Managing both corporate guests and performers within the same night, on the same itinerary, is the kind of coordinated execution that separates a team built for scale from a single artist working solo.
"A real VIP, high-class celebrity experience — in Nashville."
Glamming a Global Team, One Chair at a Time
There's something genuinely unique about doing hair and makeup for a team that flew in from Paris to be in Nashville for one night. The band brought the room to life around them. It's a reminder that luxury doesn't have a hometown. When it lands somewhere, the standard doesn't drop just because you're not in a major fashion capital.
Three artists, a room full of Hermès corporate employees and guests, a live band performing, and dinner service moving around us—every single person, on stage or off, walked away looking like they belonged exactly where they were. See Full Portfolio Project with more photos and reels!
Why This Matters for Nashville
Moments like this are proof of something I believe strongly: Nashville doesn't have to import luxury-level artistry for events like this. It's already here. When international brands bring their teams—and their entertainment—to Music City, the beauty experience they receive should match the caliber of everything else in the room. That's the standard Pink Mantis Beauty was built to meet.
The Impact of Luxury Glam on Events
Luxury glam isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling good too. When guests feel confident in their appearance, it elevates the entire event. Imagine walking into a room where everyone looks polished and radiant. It creates an atmosphere of excitement and celebration. This is what we strive for at every event.

Every detail matters when it comes to creating memorable experiences. From the moment guests arrive, they should feel enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury. Our elevated setups, combined with top-tier products, ensure that every individual feels special. It's not just about the makeup; it's about the entire experience.
