Cheyenne is the BEST!

Cheyenne is truly the BEST, and I cannot recommend her enough!

She first did my hair for my best friend's wedding, and I got so many compliments — it looked absolutely stunning and held perfectly all night. On top of that, she was so fun and easy to talk to. We had the best time just yapping and getting ready together. When I started planning my own wedding, I didn’t even consider anyone else. I knew I wanted Cheyenne.

The booking process was seamless. She worked around my schedule to hop on a FaceTime call so we could talk through exactly what I wanted, and I immediately felt confident booking her. The pricing was more than fair for everything she provides.

At my first trial, we did Hollywood waves with a slick back and I loved it. It looked glamorous and polished — and again, we had the best time chatting. After that, I even drove an hour and a half to her salon to get a final haircut before my wedding because I trusted her that much (and she absolutely crushed it, obviously).

A few weeks later, I realized I wasn’t feeling 100% like myself with the slicked-back look. It was beautiful, but I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day. Even though we were only about four weeks out from the wedding, Cheyenne went completely above and beyond and fit me in for a second trial. Two weeks before the big day, we tried a new style — and it was perfect. I felt like me and Cheyenne listened (yet again) to exactly what I wanted.

On my wedding day, it honestly felt like getting ready with an old friend. She was calm, positive, and so much fun to be around. My hair turned out PERFECT, and it stayed flawless all day and night. She also styled my family and friends, and everyone looked incredible.

Cheyenne is talented, professional, flexible, and such a joy to be around. Book her — you will not regret it. I’ll absolutely be going to her for my hair moving forward. She’s a forever stylist in my book!

Amazing and Wonderful!!

Cheyenne and her team were recommended to me by my best friend for my wedding (October 11th, 2025) and I could not have asked for a better experience. Communicating with Cheyenne was easy and she was very clear about the process, and had some super helpful documents to make sure my wedding day was a success.

Beth, our hair stylist, is incredible. After my trial a few months ago, I found new inspiration for the day of and Beth brought it to life so quickly and easily! She was so fun to work with and we all loved her! She was incredibly focused during all of the chaos going on around her and helped me stay calm and collected while I was getting ready.

Devyn, our makeup artist, is truly an artist. Same as with Beth, she listened to my changes since the trial and brought out the beauty in all of us. Devyn was hilarious in the best way. I kept saying sorry for twitching and shifting in my seat and she kept reminding me that it was my day and no apology was necessary. She helped keep me grounded through it all and I appreciate that so much.

Thank you all so much for making my day wonderful from the beginning! I couldn't have asked for a better team to get us all ready!!

August 2025 wedding!

I had the pleasure of working with Cheyenne and Devyn for hair and makeup at my August wedding, and they were both absolutely amazing!
Cheyenne was incredibly organized throughout the entire process—from planning and the trial to coordinating the schedule on the big day. She did a fantastic job on everyone's hair and was such a joy to have with us while we got ready.
Devyn was so sweet and professional, delivering beautiful soft glam looks that perfectly matched each person's vision.
A huge thank you to CC Bridal for such a wonderful experience and flawless hair and makeup!

Amazing Work!

Working with Cheynne was such a wonderful experience. She was professional, kind, and so easy to communicate with. On the day of, she arrived on time, kept everything organized, and made the entire process stress-free. I was absolutely thrilled with how my makeup turned out—it looked flawless in person and in photos, and it lasted perfectly through the entire day and night (coming from a girl with oily skin). I truly felt my best and received endless compliments. I’m so grateful for all of her talent and care, and I would recommend her a thousand times over to any bride!!

Everything went perfectly!

My wife and I had a great experience with Chicy Cheys for our wedding! Cheyenne got my pin straight hair to hold a curl, and that alone definitely deserves five stars. On the other end of the spectrum, one of my bridesmaids wanted to tame her frizzy hair, and Beth made it her personal mission to deliver exactly what she wanted. Devyn did a beautiful job with glowy, soft makeup that stayed all night and photographed really well. All of us were really happy with the results and felt beautiful! Also, Cheyenne was very communicative and kind despite that we changed the schedule multiple times. I also want to note that this was a gay wedding with two brides, so it was important to us to have vendors that didn't make us feel "othered" for this, and we definitely felt like Chicy Cheys was celebratory and affirming. 10/10 would recommend them!

Wedding hair…I Do care

Cheyenne is amazing, I wasn’t sure what I wanted, showed her a few pictures of what I was looking at and she nailed it. I got so many compliments on my hair and make up and the make looked natural.
If I lived closer I would have her do my hair all of the time. I can’t say enough great things about her and as a bonus she is so sweet!!

Cheyenne did an amazing job with my hair!

I highly recommend Cheyenne! She was so attentive to how I wanted my hair done for my wedding. During my trial she made sure to take note of what I liked and asked if I would like to adjust anything. She is super sweet and made prepping for my wedding day so memorable! Thank you for taking the extra step Cheyenne to make me beautiful!

Get on her books NOW!

Cheyenne (Chicy Cheys) is absolutely incredible - both as a person and a professional! I booked with Cheyenne for hair and makeup services (for my ladies and myself) for my wedding in June. She took so much stress off of my day. I had a smaller party (a total of 4 for both services), so we opted not to book an assistant; Cheyenne arrived promptly on time and finished all services within the scheduled window. We were all so happy with our finished looks! Luckily everything stayed put through the humid weather as well.

I have (a lot of) very heavy hair and chose to go with a low ponytail hairstyle. During the trial, Cheyenne tried out several different ways of securing the look. Instead of encouraging me to look at a different style, she worked her magic and found a method to make it work, and styling on the day of went seamlessly because of it!

I cannot recommend Cheyenne enough!!! 🤍
