Curly hair girls, look no further!! She is the best! Annette truly went above and beyond for me and my hair! She made sure I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day! Leading up to the big day she helped me get my hair healthy. She took the time to explain everything and the "why" behind it. We did a trial and then I went back for a trim and a color where she tried something different so that my bridal hair style vision was not only met but exceeded! It was a true pleasure working with Annette. read more

I had 3 hair trials with Annette prior to my wedding due to not being able to decide on how I wanted my hair styled. She was always so patient & helpful when trying to decide on the style & honest with how my hair would hold up due to length or heaviness of my hair but always did what I chose to do. She was able to get me in last minute to tone my hair prior to my wedding & allowed me to bring my 2 month old since I didn't have a sitter last minute which was much appreciated. I loved my hair for my wedding day & my bridesmaids hair looked beautiful and styled how they wanted! read more

Annette did my bridal hair, some of my bridesmaids' hair, and the mother of the bride's hair. Throughout the whole process, she was communicative and truly worked with me to make sure everything met my expectations and went smoothly. She helped create a timeline for everyone's hair and coordinated with the make-up artist to ensure we stayed on schedule. During my trial, she listened to what I wanted and made suggestions to elevate my look based on her experience and expertise. All of her suggestions were thoughtful, and intentional, and showed that she had my best interest in mind. For example, she suggested adding a few pretty pins that would match my earrings and tie my hair together with the detail in my dress. She also provided hair products for all of us to use the night before the wedding to make sure our held the day of. I have a lot of hair and I was nervous it wouldn't hold the whole night - it held perfectly and looked just as beautiful at 1pm as it did at 11pm. Of note, it poured just before our ceremony, and everyone's hair was completely unphased by the humidity (everyone had significantly different natural hair texture) - she is truly a miracle worker. Annette truly exceeded our expectations and I would choose her again without hesitation. read more
