Brides Love Notes;
Meghan Garrelts
Michelle did my bridesmaids’ and my hair for our wedding, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her services!
Originally, my regular hairstylist was supposed to do my hair (since she doesn’t work with bridal parties), but at the last minute, she wasn’t able to make it. Michelle graciously stepped in, and I am beyond grateful!
Maggie Hopkins
Michelle & her team did hair for my bridesmaids and my now husband. She did an amazing job. She provided a large selection of hair pieces for my bridesmaids to choose from. She even helped one of the other groomsman with long hair like my husbands to get his hair up. She was fabulous. She did my bridal trial she helped me put the vision i had in my head for my hair and make sure it was perfect. Michelle is well worth the money and she can even get extra stylists if you need more than one. She is a small business but all things considered she did amazing. Thanks Michelle for working on your birthday to do hair for my wedding day.
Amber Stevens
Michelle styled my hair and my two bridesmaid’s hair for my wedding. Her make up artist Shaylee did our make up. They were absolutely fabulous every step of the way from the trial to the day of the wedding. They came on time, had an amazing attitude that was so happy and upbeat, and of course did completely perfect work that stayed the whole day!! I could not have asked for better and I am so lucky and happy I had Michelle & Shaylee for my big day!
