I just ADORE Ellie!!

Ellie is super talented and such a sweet soul. It was hard for me to find a hair vendor that was confident to style my natural hair. Ellie incorporated all my visions for my naturally curly hair, and treated my decision to leave it natural with such respect! I used Ellie for two services since I had an intimate wedding ceremony and then a postponed wedding reception. She was so flexible with all the changes that I had to make due to COVID-19. I am so happy I found a hairstylist for LIFE!! Thank you again, Ellie, for all your love you put into your work and for making me look beautiful on my special days!!

Hire Ellie

Ellie from Braids by Ellie was amazing! She arrived early, running ahead of schedule, which immediately made the morning stress-free. She listened to what I wanted while also bringing her own creative vision, and my hair turned out absolutely beautiful. She was flexible enough to add a bridesmaid last-minute, professional, and very communicative throughout. She even helped me brainstorm how to wear my veil. My hair stayed in place all night, and I got so many compliments. I can’t recommend her enough!

Best hairstylist ever!

Ellie is the sweetest person ever to have at your wedding, plus no one can do hair like she can.
When people talk about “having the gift” that’s Ellie.

Life saver

My original hairstylist canceled on me one week prior to my wedding. Ellie opened her books for me last minute, so willingly, and traveled to me at the crack of dawn to make my wedding hair vision come to life.She was a literal lifesaver & took all of my stress away. My hair was gorgeous & lasted all night- especially considering we got it done at 6am!!!! I seriously was complimented soooo many times about how unique and gorgeous my hair was. Ellie is an angel.

Bridal hair by Ellie!!

Ellie did an amazing job. Ellie arrived earlier then we initially scheduled to get all of my bridesmaids and my hair was done on time for the wedding. Ellie was able to do any hair style we provide to her. She even offers affordable hair trials. She was very friendly, organized, affordable, and AMAZING. I can go on and on.
