A Dream Wedding Hairstylist

I cannot recommend Esther Ahn enough! She styled my hair for my wedding and somehow made it look even better than I had imagined. From the very beginning, at the hair trial, I knew I was in great hands—not only is Esther incredibly talented, but she’s also one of the warmest, kindest people you’ll ever meet. I truly felt like I gained a new friend through this process.

On the big day, Esther arrived right on time, totally organized and calm, which made such a difference in keeping our morning stress-free. She did my entire bridal party’s hair to absolute perfection—everyone looked stunning and felt confident walking into the ceremony. My own hair stayed beautifully in place all night long, and I’ve never felt more beautiful.

Esther is the perfect mix of professional, efficient, and creative. Her calming presence and attention to detail helped make my wedding day so special. Brides, if you're looking for someone to not only make you look amazing, but also be a joyful part of your day—Esther is your person. I’d recommend her a thousand times over!

Thank you Esther!

Esther went above and beyond for our wedding day. After reviewing the reference photos during our trial and for the day itself, Esther was able to effectively recreate the look and did so with care and attention to detail. She brought her years of experience to execute ideas for the final look, from incorporating flowers from our bouquets to working with an array of styling tools and sprays. From start to finish, Esther made me feel comfortable and at ease in the chair. The focus was on making me feel happy and beautiful exactly the way I envisioned. I cannot recommend Esther enough! Esther, Thank you so much for your care and thoughtfulness.

Absolutely Beautiful!

I couldn’t be happier with choosing Esther and Nina for my wedding hair and makeup. From trial to wedding day, the two were an amazing team. They were punctual, professional, and incredibly down to earth. I felt heard and listened to throughout the entire experience which really soothed my nerves. They were attentive and responsive and truly took the time to understand exactly the vision I was going for. And I’m so so happy with the final look. Thank you, Esther and Nina, for making me feel so beautiful, comfortable, and confident on my special day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
