I couldn't have asked for a better wedding hair stylist for my wedding on 6/16/18. From the moment…read moreI met Theodora I knew I was in good hands. She was patient, kind and had a vision for my hair. Before I met Theodora, I was having a hard time finding a hair stylist that would do onsite for my wedding. She not only came onsite to do all my bridesmaids and myself she came on time and ready. Theodora had a created a timeline for each girl getting her hair done. This was beyond helpful to a busy bride. She is professional and the best to work with. I would highly recommend her, if you would like someone with talent, professionalism and a great personality.

First off, I'm selfishly reluctant to write this review, because I adore Theodora so much that I'm…read morescared that once everyone discovers this hidden gem, it'll take forever to book her for myself! LOL. However, luckily for me (and you all), she was recommended to me, and I feel it's only right to pay it forward...... Theodora has now served as my hairstylist for BOTH routine hair care (i.e. highlights, haircut) and bridal hairstyling for my big day. Routine Hair Care: Theodora always uses Redken bleach (for those curious gurus out there) for coloring, including for my full head of blonde highlights. She also does my layered haircuts. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten (including from random strangers on Michigan Avenue) ever since she's been doing my hair. The icing on the cake? It all was $95 and took two hours. UNBELIEVABLE. She does charge an extra $5-$10 for a blowdry depending on the type of hair you have. She also does a deep conditioning treatment (DIVINE!) for about $5. All her prices are extremely reasonable. Bridal Hairstyling: She offered a very affordable trial ($50) and was extremely flexible about meeting times. On the day of the wedding, Theodora showed up 15 minutes early. Yes, she travels to you! I cannot tell you how invaluable this service is on a hectic wedding day. She did blow-outs for both Moms and low chignons for the 4 bridesmaids. She also did a half up-do with curls for myself. It took her about 4 hours total to do all 7 of our heads. The hairstyles lasted all day and night and even through the following day for myself. The icing on the cake? It was all $450 total. Theodora is an extremely great listener and fully "gets" your ideas. Her real talent is taking the idea a notch further making your hair look THAT MUCH BETTER. Invaluable, I'm telling you. Everything about Theodora's hairstyling services is perfect. I can't recommend her enough! You won't be disappointed!

Nicole did my hair and makeup for my wedding in June. I was very happy with both. She was willing…read moreto work with me to find solutions to logistical problems (hairdo change between ceremony and reception) and her prices were totally reasonable. Nicole is very professional, and is willing to work with you to find a look that you're happy with--we played around with airbrush makeup and different makeup colors, and I was pleased with our final result! My makeup and hair both looked great all the way through the end of the night, too--it was a really long day! I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for your bridal hair and makeup. (She did my mom too, and that worked out great too!)

From the tryouts to the actual wedding day, she was responsive to all my questions. I even slightly changed my hairstyle a week before the wedding and she understood what I wanted. She is highly professional; she arrives on time for appointments and is efficient. Yet, she makes sure that you're relaxed; she always has music on as she works on your hair and makeup. I also thought that her services were affordable. I highly recommend Nicole to other brides looking for wedding day hair and makeup combo.

I greatly appreciated that my artist, Nayaab, who had no issues giving me a natural, but nontraditional bridal makeup look! She did a stellar job of experimenting with different colors, she was transparent about what would and wouldn't go together, and in the end made me look stunning. Bonus points for approaching with confidence. Greatly appreciative to her and Mike for accommodating a 5am start time as well.

I found out her company did my cousin's wedding just months ago and they too had a great service by the whole Hairs 2 the Bride team. I am so grateful for Michelle and Michael, who delivered an awesome service/vibe for this important event.

Everyone (8 ladies for hair and 6 for makeup) was happy with their hair and makeup, and Lexi, Georgia, and Terri were kind and professional throughout.
