Giselle is a gem! She is an incredibly talented and experienced hair stylist who managed to transform my nascent ideas into the perfect hairstyle for my wedding. She found clip-on hair extensions for me that worked perfectly, and she fastened Swarovski crystals into my hairstyle, which I loved! She also did a fantastic job with the bridesmaids, flower girls, and mothers, all of whom raved about her work all evening. Giselle also is a delight to work with -- very pleasant and professional. She was a great pick!

Giselle is a truly gifted hair stylist! It is amazing to watch her create a fabulous updo in as little as 15 minutes. After she styled my hair (along with 8 others ladies) at my best friend’s wedding last year, I knew I had to hire her for my own wedding.
On my wedding day, Giselle styled my hair along with my 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and my flower girl. She works quickly, efficiently, and flawlessly. She was there a few minutes early so she could set-up her work station and get started with the first person right on time. She adhered to the schedule (yet was very flexible with adjustments to it) and even finished with about twenty minutes to spare. My bridal party and I received so many compliments on our hair, and the updos stayed beautiful all night long with very few minor hairspray touch-ups (Giselle gives you a small bottle of hairspray and extra bobby pins for this). Giselle takes her time to make sure she understands what it is that the bride truly wants. She is as sweet as can be and clearly takes great pride in her work. At the trials, she works with you to try out multiple styles and takes many photos for you to reflect on once you leave her studio. And believe me, she is not satisfied until you are satisfied with the end result. I would highly recommend Giselle to any bride who wants a beautiful hairstyle on her wedding day! Thanks Giselle!!

I never usually write reviews but I am so happy with my experience with Giselle that I had to write one. Let me start by saying that I had to plan my entire wedding (in DC) from Australia so I relied heavily upon reviews on this site to decide which vendors to use. Giselle had so much positive feedback I thought I would be in good hands and I was absolutely right. She was so professional throughout our time together and was quick to respond to any questions I had. We had two trials together and even when I thought I had the style I wanted I ended up changing it the day of my wedding. Giselle was so accommodating and said it was fine to change my mind, that we would do whatever I wanted. I couldn't believe how quickly (and perfectly) she whipped up my new hairstyle, all without any trial beforehand. I cannot recommend her enough and could not have imagined having anyone else do my hair on my special day. Thank you Giselle!

Outstanding. I planned my wedding in DC from London and Giselle was always very responsive which was a great comfort in the run up to my big day. It was a pleasure working with Giselle, she is a real talent who takes great care in her work. She listened carefully to my requirements and more than exeeded my expectations. I LOVED MY HAIR :-)
Elegant Hair by Giselle responded with the following comments:
Sarah! It was lovely meeting you. Planning from London or any destination must be tough but we pulled it off! I loved working with your hair, using the new method in wrapping the hair around the iron. This way your curls stayed lifted and seperated. The extensions were a hit and am so happy you were pleased. I appreciate your images and will post them when I can to my site.... All my best , and if you ever need me to travel to London, pls call me! Destination weddings/events are my specialty!

Giselle was amazing! My hair has never looked better and the style lasted all night -- I was so happy. A friend commented that my hair looked as good at the end of the reception as it did when I walked down the aisle!
In addition, Giselle patiently worked with me to find a style that looked good and I felt comfortable with. I appreciated Giselle's expertise as I worked with her to find a style that suited me, but would also work well in the high humidity of DC in July. On the wedding day itself, Giselle's calm presence was a huge asset and she was so fun to work with. Giselle also worked efficiently with my mom, sister, and the flower girl to make sure that the important women at the wedding had amazing hair! My mom is still talking about how good her hair looked, and she is so impressed that Giselle knew exactly what to do with her thick, wavy hair within seconds of meeting her. I would recommend Giselle to all brides without hesitation! Book her while you still can!

Jessica ! How are you? Thank you so kindly for your comments for others to read your thoughts and to see how your day went with your hair. This is so helpful for others! I loved working with you all and am pleased your hair held up (especially being 1/2 up, having looser curls.....) under this humidity. It is tough to maintain in the heat, but prepping the hair and keeping up is so important. Your mom's hair was so thick and wonderful, so I can see where you got your beautiful hair from. Having to cut and shape her hair was essential to her style for the wedding and am glad she let me shape it up for her. It made a difference and can't wait to see you all in your pictures!!!! Hope you will share a link soon. Take good care and hope to see you again!!!! Warm hugs, GiselleJessica ! How are you?

Sharonna! You are so welcome, I loved your style! Having your hair so soft and full of movement really flattered your facial features and dress! I can't wait to see your pictures and in fact everyone's hair was beautiful with the highlights your sister did to enhance the style. Having a touch up bag is crucal for touch ups with the spray, pins, tissues, etc....every bride deserves one! All my best, you all were so much fun and hope you'll count on my for any event again in the future.....Hugs---Giselle :)))Sharonna! You are so welcome, I loved your style!

I cannot say enough about Giselle. First, as a person she is super sweet. She listens well and has so much patience. You can tell her only goal is to provide an exceptional product while making the customer happy. Second, as an stylist she really knows her craft. I had a very complicated updo that involved the addition of extensions and inserts and it felt solid as a rock and super light (considering how much I had to add to my hair). I do not have a lot of hair, but you would never have figured that on the day of my wedding. She also did my mom's hair, my flower girl's hair, and all of my bridesmaids...and they all look fabulous! And, all of our hair stayed put the entire day. Hands down one of the best decisions I made during my wedding. Oh, and we recruited her services for our rehearsal dinner. I got the long, sexy locks that I wanted, and my mom got her sophisticated up do. It really showcased her range. Thanks, Giselle!
Oh, and I am very happy she had me do two trials. We made some essential last minute changes that I knew would have been bad to make under the pressure the day of. Plus, it gave us a chance to play around with the style a bit.

Kendra!!! It was such a pleasure working with you, thank you SO much for your review :-) You are completely right about the trial runs, working together well in advance, planning your hairstyle and whats needed. There is no way to master this the day of the wedding because it really does take some time. I realize that rehersal dinner is very important as well and I always offer my services since this day should be just as important with the hair. You looked amazing..... It was great working with your mom's beautiful hairtoo, she really had the opportunity to showcase her hair due to the length and so it was a pleasure to do so at the rehersal. She seemed happy to get a little more then what she anticipated, thinking it was just the rehersal, but I know that she needed a bit more according to her dress style. I can't wait to blog your images and post them to my site! Please stay in touch, you all were very special and sweet and would love to continue my services with you for any event in the future.

She was attentive to my needs and was very flexible. At the last minute, I changed my mind on what hairstyle I wanted.She worked with me and she made my hair look exactly how I wanted. I would recommend Giselle to all future brides.It was such a positive experience and I will never forget it.

Maria! You were so calm and we knew right away after doing a trial that we needed to change something. I am so glad we went with your 'feeling' of the style rather than just going with the original plan....after all it's how you actually feel on the day of the wedding! Take care and thanks for the continued suport with referrals, this means the world to me!

Giselle did an amazing job for my wedding on july 9th, 2011. She did my hair and my mom and aunt. We were really happy. I have curly hair and how she did it , it stayed all night long and didn't need any touch ups. She is very quick and patient and sweet personality. I recommend her to all the brides.

Giselle was so wonderful! I was looking for someone that would keep my natural curls and not straighten them. Giselle was great at keeping my curls and working with them to give me beautiful hair (that lasted all night with no frizz!) on my wedding day. I will go back to her any time I need my hair done for something formal!!!!! She responded to emails right away, was flexible with her scheduling (even though she had her neice's wedding the same weekend) and was all around great to work with!
Elegant Hair by Giselle responded with the following comments:
Leah, Thnak you! Your curls were perfect....you prepped your hair as I suggested and that's what helped to eliminate the frizz. Very smart! Curls are a whole other ball game, thier tricky and never the same from wash to wash, so day of I had to take this into consideration when styling your hair. I saw your final look and think your soft lace dress went along with your curls beautifully, and very romantic! It was a very busy weekend, nonetheless, you were just as important as my bride that day too! Hope to see you and your friends again for any other event, maybe for the holidays!

I can not say enough about how wonderful Giselle has been. Giselle provided her talent in doing my hair for my wedding, my mother, sister, bridesmaids and flower girls. Everyones hair looked absolutely perfect. I had 2 trial runs with giselle and every time I walked out very happy about how my hair looked. I thought there was no way it could possibly look better. Giselle proved me wrong though, on the day of my wedding, my hair was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I have never received so many compliments on my hair in my life. Everyones hair that she did at my wedding was perfect as well, including the flower girls whose hair looked absolutely adorable yet very elegant! Giselle arrived early. She was set up and ready to go before I even arrived! She was so professional, sweet and really wanted to make me look the best I could possibly look. She took into consideration my dress, veil and jewelry when helping me decide what hair style would be best for me and she was exactly right. Giselle has so many connections in the wedding industry and also set me up with a fabulous makeup artist who also helped pull my whole look together. The week before my wedding I had a Henna party and Giselle did my hair for that also. I would it down with extensions and Giselle applied them. It was done so naturally everyone thought it was my real hair!! I would absolutely recommend Giselle to anyone needing to have their hair done for a special occasion, she is well worth every penny and she will not stop until you are happy and your hair looks flawless. She's very easy to talk to and she listens to what you really want. I am so thankful I had her at my wedding and she will defiantly be the one to do my hair at any other event that comes up for me!!
Thank you so much Giselle!! xox Ashley

Ashley! I can't thank you enough for your SWEETEST review, and am just so happy you and everyone was happy with their hair. You were stunning and so easy to work with the entire time. I know it takes a lot of attention when working with extensions, fillers and trying to determine the right hair piece (which by the way the broach inside your flower was a stunning look)..... It takes a few trials sometimes to knock out all the details and you planned it out just right. Knowing how the extensions will work with you facial features, the right color of your hair and length, along with you headpiece and veil make all the difference when pulling the visual together. All my very best to you and can't wait for another special event some time!!! Hugs! Giselle :)Ashley!

Giselle did a fantastic job with my hair as well as my mom's and my mother-in-law's hair on my wedding day. She arrived on time and was very thorough, efficient and quick- she was able to finish a head of schedule without compromising the quality of her work. She even gave my mom a quick trim on the spot because a few of her layers had started to grow out. She is extremely professional, patient, understanding and most of all, very talented! I received so many compliments on my updo that day and best of all, it lasted all day (12 hours!)! She is definitely worth it- I highly recommend her!

Giselle is an incredibly talented hair stylist. I couldn't decide if I wanted my hair up or down for my wedding so I had many trials with Giselle. And each time she listened to me, was patient, had lots of ideas, and did an amazing job. The trials were totally worth it because I absolutely LOVED my hair on my wedding day! I couldn't have been happier with it. My hair was perfect and stayed put for nearly 12 hours. I highly highly recommend Giselle to everyone!!

Giselle created a beautiful hairdo for my wedding that lasted all night, despite an incredibly humid day, a long party, and lots of boisterous dancing. She did hair for all the women in the wedding party, and everybody looked fantastic and felt gorgeous. Giselle came to the location, was extremely professional, and did a fantastic job interpreting what everybody wanted done with their hair. She left me complete with a kit to maintain my hair (and the flowers in it!) over the course of the evening.

Giselle was amazing to work with and did a phenomenal job on my hair and my bridal party's hair!!! She was so patient and really understood my vision for what I wanted on my day. When I told her I wanted a half-up hairstyle with a little bit of height in the front, she knew exactly how to accomplish want I wanted. My hair stayed all night, even with a long veil and a ton of dancing during the reception. I received so many compliments throughout the night and following the wedding about my hair. My bridesmaids and bridal party looked amazing as well, and they too received many compliments. I would definitely recommend Giselle for her quality of service, her patience, and her creativity!!
Elegant Hair by Giselle responded with the following comments:
Thank you Alex! I loved your look with your dress style, just beautiful. The long veil is always a challenge when having it stay in place, and making it comfortable at the same time. I'm glad to hear it lasted so long especially during the dancing. I always suggest spraying to maintain the look and taking a few minutes for touch ups, really helps!
