Amazing Elopement Hair by Kelsey

With the ever changing landscape that is Covid, my fiance and I decided to pivot to an elopement in Big Sur at the last minute. I was able to find Kelsey and book her for my day. I cannot overstate how amazing of a job Kelsey did! Having not been local or having the time to do a trial, we had a preliminary FaceTime to discuss the details and the vision I had for my hair. On the day of, she was even able to coordinate bringing my bouquet and boutonniere down for me as well. Kelsey exceeded all expectations! My hair was perfect for our elopement! She did everything I wanted and more. I could not recommend her more for a stress free experience. Thanks again for everything!!

Kelsey is a star!

Kelsey is the best! She did a fantastic job on my wedding hair. We were all very happy with our looks and she is very versatile! She did glam waves/curls for me, pinned partially up for my bridesmaids, and a blowout and bun for our moms. Our hair ended up exactly like the inspo pictures we showed her. She was so fun to have as part of our morning-of crew. She is both talented and fun to be around! She was very organized and sent all the details and timeline before the day so we knew what to expect. She also was right on schedule even with having 9 girls to do!

Wonderful Hair Stylist!

Kelsey is AMAZING! Very punctual and timely mattered as she did several girls hairs the day of the wedding. Prior to the wedding I had set a bridal trial with her & she nailed my vision at the first try. She knew what she was doing with just a few pictures & explanation of what I was looking for. The day of the wedding she was super professional, but overall friendly. She made our getting ready process stress free. She was easy to get along with, none of my girls had issues. We all loved our hairstyles. I had an up-do that literally lasted all day/night! I highly recommend Kelsey!!! She is the best!!

Best Bridal Hairstylist Ever!

Kelsey is the best! We didn’t do a trial beforehand but I sent her lots of inspo pictures and she totally nailed it. She was super accommodating even after I changed my wedding date and ended up eloping last minute! She made getting ready so fun and relaxing. I would 100% recommend her to any future brides!

Kelsey is 10/10 amazing!

Can’t say enough good things about Kelsey! She made my wedding day so easy. She arrived early, stuck to the timeline we created for my bridesmaids and myself, my hair turned out exactly how I envisioned, and she went above and beyond to make me feel special. She also helped me find a replacement makeup artist 2 weeks before my wedding which was a life saver! Kelsey is the best!

Seamless & Beautiful

Kelsey was amazing to work with. She was highly recommended by my makeup artist. And when I tell you she is skilled. I gave her a brief description of my dress and an idea that I had during my consultation. She created something more beautiful than I was expecting and was very responsive to tweaks to fit my desires. I had a larger bridal party and my girls were done an hour early for pictures with plenty of time for touch ups. She is very skilled and organized

Amazing wedding hair stylist!

Kelsey is absolutely incredible!! I was pretty late looking for bridal hair and makeup artists and was starting to panic. By a stroke of luck Kelsey was available and she put me in touch with multiple make up artists to help me out. Kelsey was easy to communicate with when we were planning and worked quickly and efficiently on the wedding day. She was super pleasant to chat with and did wonders for all 3 of my bridesmaids. I gave her very little guidance for my hair (low braided bun) with a couple pictures and she just went for it. it was AMAZING!!! I got comments on my hair all night and felt absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Couldn't have asked for better!! Would 100% recommend for any occasion!!

Fun and extremely talented, boho hair master!!

- I can’t say enough stellar things about working with Kelsey for my wedding - she is amazingly talented at boho hair texturing and styling, and she is fast and focused! My hair stayed in all day and night (early and late photos included), even after putting a flower hair comb on and off, hours of dancing, a keg stand, and even crowdsurfing. However, the most enjoyable/important part of working with her was her super fun and bubbly personality, making sure the day went smoothly and we all felt comfortable with our hair. Me and my bridesmaids don’t regularly get our hair done so we felt a bit out of our element, but with Kelsey everyone had so much fun. She was also super flexible with me on the number of bridesmaids and mothers who wanted to get their hair done, and she made the trial day work well with our travel schedules. She even recommended many hair products for prepping my hair for the big day, including moisturizers and possible extension lengths/colors/brands. She’s just amazing and I’m so happy I found her - I really can’t recommend her enough. Her assistant, Yvonne, was so sweet and we all had a blast chatting and hanging out the wedding day morning. Kelsey works hard and carefully, and is friendly and very dependable! If you are hoping for a talented, easy going, and fun professional hair stylist, she’s your girl!! Hire her!!!!
