Lillian is Great!

My bridesmaids, MOB AND MOG, and myself had our hair done by Lillian and her team and we all loved our styles. They held well and fit each of our personalities which was exactly what I had hoped for. I’m really glad I did a practice run for my bridal portraits so I could tweak my style and get exactly what I wanted for the wedding day - Lillian was open to feedback and helped me create exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Lillian!

Lillian saved the day!

When my original hair stylist had to cancel unexpectedly the week before my wedding, Lillian jumped in to help, no questions asked! She fit me in for a quick meet-up and trial a few days before my wedding. Not only did she do my hair beautifully on the big day, but she also helped with hair styling for several of my bridesmaids as well. She worked quickly and listened to what each girl wanted--and she did a great job on multiple very different hair styles and lengths. She is great at what she does, professional, and a joy to be around. I can't thank her enough for stepping in at the last minute to help all of us feel our most beautiful on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Lillian for anybody looking for a new hair stylist or for a stylist for an upcoming event! She is wonderful!

Lillian was extremely professional, she was very responsive. From someone who is used to my hairdresser of many years, its difficult to trust someone new. I was pleased with my up-do; as well as the rest of the bridal party. Simply the best!

Lillian did a great job! Everyone loved their hairstyles and they all held through the entire wedding and dancing! She was easy to get along with and was willing to listen to feedback to improve the up-do and make sure that my wedding hair was exactly what I'd pictured! I have A TON of hair so it has never been easy to get an updo that didn't just look like a blob, but Lillian did a fantastic job and I received compliments all night long! I would recommend her to every bride!

Lillian did a wonderful job on our hair for the wedding!! She had to style several lengths and types of hair, including the flower girl and we all came out looking fabulous!!! I met with her twice before the wedding to get my hair cut and styled and will be going back to see her soon! Love my new cut Lillian!!!

I am so glad Lillian was available on our wedding day, and a million times more so that I chose her! She was so easy-going -- exactly what a bride needs during a time of high stress. I loved the pictures on WeddingWire of Lillian's past work, and knew that she could accomplish my vision. I am a pretty particular person when it comes to hair, and Lillian rolled with me, taking in all of the little details I mentioned along the way. I had a simple updo that I loved with some twists and curls on a girl whose hair is STICK straight. On the wedding day, Lillian did my hair along with 7 bridesmaids and both moms. She was a rockstar and we all loved the results.

Lillian was recommended to me by my makeup artist and I’m so grateful that she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry, her enthusiasm and style really stood out. When we had our consultation and hair trial, I only became more confident that I was going to look beautiful on my wedding day. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed, and her advice and suggestions were invaluable. Aside from her ability to create elegant, timeless hairstyles, what really sets Lillian apart is her natural way of being calm, supportive, grounded, and positive. I was able to really relax and enjoy getting ready because I knew I was in such great hands. Even in the North Carolina heat and humidity, all of our up-dos looked great all night long. I highly recommend working with Lillian and look forward to her doing my hair for my next event!

Lillian was great! My hair is super thin and fights to escape from any sort of style, so I was definitely a challenge. We had to make some changes to the style after the trial (where she came to me!) to make sure it would stay up all night, and she did it! I never thought my hair could have so much volume, and I felt super secure dancing the whole night. She was very professional and made sure I got exactly what I wanted.

Working with Lillian was great. She did my three bridesmaids up-dos and mine. They all looked great and mine stayed as we partied and danced well into the morning hours. None of the bridesmaids had issues either and everyone loved her work. She was also very flexible and understanding with the blocked off street in front of the bridal suite location. Also she had no problems coming to me for the trial. She does beautiful work!
