Loved my bridal hair!

Ariel and team were amazing! She absolutely nailed the look I wanted, and when I changed my mind last minute, she was so patient and made it even better than I imagined. My hair looked stunning all day, and my bridesmaids were just as thrilled with theirs. She was a true professional and made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. I can’t recommend her enough!

Amazing stylist!!

Ariel is not only an amazing hair stylist but so friendly, sweet and professional. I am a very indecisive person and I came to my trial with 3 different styles in mind. Ariel was extremely patient with me and ended up coming up with the perfect style for my look! I was obsessed with my hair on my wedding day and she helped me feel like such a glamorous bride. Not to mention it lasted all night long! Highly recommend her and her team!!

The best choice I could have made!

I am SO grateful to have been paired with Sarah for my wedding hair. Sarah is easy-going, kind, and INCREDIBLY talented. At my bridal trial/preview, she was receptive to my desires and feedback. I have a lot of very thick hair, and Sarah was able to seamlessly execute my wedding hair goals beautifully! She helped make me feel so confident on my wedding day. We were on the dance floor all night long, and my hair stayed super securely in its bun. Jenn, the second stylist, was also amazing. They worked so well together, and were efficient, fun, and talented. So so so grateful!

Loved Ariel & team!

Loved working with Ariel & team and LOVED my wedding day hair! I was the type of bride who was unsure of exactly what I'd want, but at my trial we figured it out and it was so relieving to not only have one less thing to worry about, but to be excited about. Ariel was also flexible on scheduling my trial since I live out of town. On wedding day the style was replicated perfectly and the bun held all day and night through heat and humidity - I didn't even have to think about it. My bridesmaids also looked amazing! Definitely recommend Ariel & team!

Beautiful hairstyles, pleasure to work with

Loved working with Ariel Katrina, and Kate in particular. Margot and Georgie were also great. The three of them did the bride, mother of bride, two mothers of groom, and 9 bridesmaids and everyone looked beautiful. We were worried about traffic near our hotel but they arrived early and worked efficiently. Did trials in advance (a pleasure, looked great) and then the bride pivoted to a different style, equally good. Will definitely use them again and recommend to everyone I know!

Ariel was awesome! So happy with my wedding hair

Ariel was so great to work with; super warm, fun, easygoing and very professional! I wanted my wedding hair to feel like me but with some extra flair and she really delivered. I often wear my hair half up, we ended up finding this fantastic french 60s era half up hairstyle and she pulled it off (in a modern way) perfectly! Highly recommend :)

Couldn't be happier!

Loved my experience with Ariel Katrina Hair and my stylist Sarah! AKH was very organized and responsive to any questions I had. Sarah was able to create a unique look with me that I LOVED without much guidance. I felt gorgeous! She was grounded, flexible and kind when I really needed it! And very talented - everyone’s hair looked better than we all could have dreamed! We had a wide range of ages and hair textures (ages 20’s - 80’s, thin to thick to curly hair) and each style held up all night despite the warm, humid June weather. Was a fantastic experience all around, could not recommend more.

Fantastic!

I booked Ariel through a family friend recommendation and I am so happy I did! I booked with them about a year out from our wedding date and even though I booked early Ariel was great with communicating and answering any questions I had throughout the process. I also did a hair trial with Ariel and on the wedding day, I switched up my hair style completely and she had no problems with it! All my girls LOVED their hair and Ariel and her team were great, kind and patient with the two flower girls. I would highly recommend them to any future brides!

Bridal Bad-Ass Pony

I got my bridal hair done by Ariel. I didn't even do a trial with her before I booked, because of what I saw on her Instagram. The photos speak for themselves! I did a big curly ponytail with long extensions. During the bridal trial, I bought one set of extensions and the hair looked awesome, but I thought it may be better with longer ones. At the wedding, I brought 18-inch extensions and it made for the most chic, beautiful, and amazing hair, I've ever had in my life. Ariel uses really awesome hair products that smell unreal - how do I get my hands on that hairspray?! Prior to the wedding, Ariel communicated a timeline with me and things pretty much ran themselves from there. Ariel is super punctual and arrived at my hotel room an early 6:00 AM with everything she needed. Aside from being an awesome stylist, she is a pleasant person to be around! When you're spending an entire morning with someone, it's important to find someone you like to be around! All of my girls looked fantastic as well! That day, they came to her with styles in mind and she executed them flawlessly. Ariel did my hair at about 10 AM, and it did not move an inch. I looked exactly the same at midnight as I did that morning. I wish I could write more, but her work speaks for itself. THANK YOU Ariel for turning me from girl with a bad-ass ponytail to bride - I've never felt more beautiful!

Amazing- Highly Recommend!

This is a long overdue glowing review for Ariel Katrina Hair! Chelsey was my stylist and I just cannot say enough wonderful things about her. We clicked from the moment we met at my trial. Chelsey is so kind and listened to exactly what I wanted for my bridal hair. I switched things up slightly on my actual wedding day and again, Chelsey just nailed it! My hair was perfection. She was accompanied by Megan on my wedding day and everyone also loved Megan! Both were just so much fun and a great presence during hair and make-up. Everyone had so much fun. From our Moms to the bridesmaids to my little nieces...we all looked gorgeous thanks to them. I cannot thank Chelsey and Megan enough! Highly recommend!
