The absolute best for wedding hair!!

My wedding was in August and I had to worry about the heat. Stephanie helped give me the perfect hair for my big day and exactly what I had in mind. She made sure it lasted for me too. I am so thankful I went with hair effex!!

Easiest choice

Hair Effex was the perfect choice for my hair & makeup needs! They had an area of the salon closed off & decorated just for us, they provided breakfast & mimosas and really made sure everything was taken care of. The timeline went so smoothly- we were ready in plenty of time, everyone loved their hair & makeup and it lasted all night! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, so happy I used them!!

The best of the best!!!

Steph and Maria from Hair Effex made my wedding hair experience so seamless. They are so attentive, flexible, and experienced and able to meet the needs of any bride and bridal party. Not only are they amazing at what they do and made everyone’s hair beautiful (and last through the night), but they also made the getting ready morning so relaxing and efficient. Very affordable for the quality and the finishing product was amazing!!! Would book time and time again and highly recommend!

Jessica, Jessica, Chrissy and the rest of the Hair Effex crew were (and continue to be) absolutely amazing. You can tell that Jessica, who organizes bridal parties, loves what she does. She was so sweet and helpful with everything. Chrissy is one of my favorite people (no one else will ever touch these locks) and the same goes for Jessica, our makeup artist. Everyone made me feel like a beautiful bride and make me look like one too. On the day of, Jessica had one side of the salon reserved for us with a table of mimosas, coffee, tea, bagels and other pastries. They knew I was getting a little nervous and said all the right things to keep me calm. They were very accommodating and it was really the perfect way to spend the day getting our hair and makeup done.

Thank you ladies for making my wedding day so glamorous!

Maria is extremely talented! She was calm, patient, and did an amazing job on my hair as well as my bridesmaids. I HIGHLY recommend her and her team. I danced the night away and my hair stayed intact! If you are looking for an amazing hair stylist you should choose Maria!
