High Quality and Amazing

Can't say how much I loved my hair and my ladies' hair for my wedding!! Odessa's work is high quality and super efficient. She was amazing to work with and communication was too notch. No for information is that your hair trial may be taken apart after so don't plan on using it for another event unless you talk it through with Odessa!

Amazing!!!

Odessa was amazing!! We had a large bridal party (15 people) getting hair done and she was so efficient and did an AMAZING job on everyone. From booking with her, to my trial and for the day of my wedding Odessa was so easy and amazing to work with. She was so professional and responsive - always answering my questions. I changed what I wanted to do on my hair last minute and she just went with it, didn’t question anything and did exactly what I wanted. I felt so beautiful and so did my bridesmaids. Odessa and he team are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend booking with her for a seamless vendor experience with fabulous results!! I can’t thank her enough for the job that she did!

Perfection!

Oh my GOODNESS! I had the immense pleasure of working with Odessa for my wedding. From start to finish, she exceeded all expectations with her remarkable skills.

Odessa worked her magic on the entire wedding party, including two slightly timid mothers, and each and every style was nothing short of spectacular. The elegant styles perfectly complemented each individual's face shape and aligned with the requested services. The compliments flowed all day long, and the photographs are a testament to her artistry—our hair looked absolutely flawless from every angle!

On top of all that, Odessa’s positive and upbeat demeanor made the entire experience delightful. She was a joy to be around, her enthusiasm contagious, and her professionalism evident. Her accommodating nature shone through in every aspect of the process—from arranging travel logistics to fitting in an at-home trial session. She approached every detail with grace and efficiency.
If you're seeking a wedding hair stylist who combines exceptional talent with an enchanting personality, look no further than Odessa.

The Best Hair & Makeup Team!!

Odessa, Christina, and team were AMAZING from start to finish. Odessa was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and was quick to answer all my questions along the way. She's a hair wizard, truly, and absolutely nailed my bridal look. All my girls had varying hair styles, and Odessa and her team were able to nail every single one of them. From my first interaction with her, she was extremely warm, friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable which was extremely comforting especially on the big day.

Christina, on of the makeup artists on Odessa's team, did my bridal makeup and both during the trial and big day, she was the sweetest and most accommodating. Always making sure I was comfortable and willing to make changes if I wanted to go in a different direction. She has a huge range of talent being able to do a soft/minimalistic look to a full glam beat.

I could not have asked for a better team for my wedding day. I had a party of 14 and we started the day at 8:30am and everyone was done by 1:30pm. The whole team was super efficient, talented, friendly and FUN. I would absolutely recommend Odessa's Weddings to any future brides looking for a team that will truly take care of you on the most important day of your life.

Look no further for wedding hair and makeup, this is the one!

I cannot express in a review how amazing Odessa and Christina are but I will try. If I could give a 10,000 star review I would! Zero hiccups with this team. I do not often wear a lot of makeup but for my wedding I wanted to have it look soft glam and enough to really make the pictures look good because lets face it brides have so little sleep its hard to avoid dark circles under the eyes on your special day! Christina and Odessa both arrived promptly and were so sweet and down to earth as they worked around our bridal group to setup. They worked efficiently but not rushed and every lady was in love with both their hair and makeup. Two ladies in our group including myself had very fine hair and Odessa was able to add beautiful subtle volume without having us look like we were wearing massive wigs. Christina is a Rockstar with makeup! We all felt so beautiful and confident thanks to this amazing team! Thanks again Odessa and Christina, you are the best!!

Odessa is incredible!

Odessa is absolutely incredible, and I am so insanely happy to have hired her for my wedding! I have very thin hair. It's one of my biggest insecurities and I was very concerned about my scalp showing on my wedding day. I explained my worries to Odessa during our first phone call and she told me "I promise I'll make you look beautiful for your wedding". She was completely true to her word. Odessa used a combination of fiber spray and extensions to make my hair look thicker, fuller, and more gorgeous than I ever thought would be possible. I had the hairstyle of my dreams and felt like a literal princess at my wedding. She did an incredible job with all my bridesmaids as well, and was even able to accommodate some of my girls who saw what a good job she did and decided to have their hair done the day of. If you have thin hair like I do and are concerned about how it'll look on your wedding day, book Odessa, you'll be so glad you did!

Stunning! We were obsessed!

Where do I begin?! Odessa and Emily made my wedding day so special. I absolutely loved my hair and make up!! The trials beforehand helped ease any anxiety, but I still was nervous the day of and I couldn't have asked for better results! All of my bridesmaids and my mom all got their hair done and each and every one of them looked beautiful and all loved their hair so much. The bridesmaids did not get their make up done as sometimes getting make up done can be tough or not what you expect, but they literally regretted that once they saw my make up along with my mom and MOH's make up! My mom can be tough cookie when it comes to getting her hair and make up done and she was so happy with both, which made me extra happy. Odessa and Emily are both personable and we had fun getting ready with them! Odessa and I were in touch quite a bit leading up to the wedding and she is such a kind, thoughtful, and caring person and you can tell she loves what she does and genuinely wants the best for you on your special day. Emily was so sweet and helpful when it came to my anxiety with my make up and she was so patient with me! Just love the two of them and I promise you will not be disappointed going with Odessa Weddings :)
