Wedding Hair and Makeup

Hair by Amanda
Our wedding was on Friday October 24th 2025. I have been going to Amanda for my hair appointments for almost 10 years. When I was getting married I knew I wanted her to do my bridal hair and makeup. She did a bridal trial where I was able to go in and test out a hairstyle and makeup I wanted for the day of my wedding. She gave me ideas of hair accessories to buy for certain hairstyles that I wanted. The day of the wedding she did my hair and makeup. She also did my bridal party's hair. I had a total of 5 bridesmaids hair, mother’s hair, mother-in-law's hair and my own. She started at 7 am and ended at 12:30 pm. She got all 8 of us done and my makeup in perfect time. All of our hair and makeup looked beautiful and she truly did an amazing job. I even changed my mind about what eyelash extensions I wanted and she ordered them and had them delivered within hours to the venue! She is outstanding at what she does and I highly recommend her for hair and makeup for weddings and any hair appointment needs!

Easy To Work With

Amanda was very easy to work with for a large bridal party. She was super nice and on time. Even when one of her crew was a little late we were able to get everything done on time for photos. Everything worked out really well. Hair and make up was beautiful for all of the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride.

Amanda was the BEST!

I came across Amanda’s profile and knew from the first time we spoke that she would be the perfect person to hire for my big day! Not only did we do the hair trial, but I went to her again for an extension install and balayage the week before my wedding. Everytime I left her chair I felt so beautiful! Not only is she amazing at what she does but she’s so sweet and easy to talk to, I instantly felt comfortable with her and the conversations were effortless. My mom and all my bridesmaids adored her as much as I did and everyone’s hair came out absolutely perfect! I’m extremely grateful I found her to glam me up for my wedding and now I will be going back to her for all my other future hair needs and extension upkeep!

Simply the best!!!

Amanda is the best - extremely personable, fun, and so so talented! She listened to what I wanted at my trial and I ended up loving it even more on the actual wedding day. Plus her styles lasted all day/night and her prices are very reasonable. My bridesmaids were all so happy with their hair and made note of how fun Amanda was to work with. Even my young nieces loved their hair, she worked with them with ease and even added sparkles to their hair! I couldn’t be happier I chose Amanda- highly recommend!

Amanda Palen 08/20/22 Wedding

Amanda was amazing! She did all my bridesmaids, my mom and my flower girl by herself. Even though some people were running a little late, she moved fast but efficiently. She got everyone done on time while also having everyone look stunning. I can't thank her enough for making my day so perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone.
