Beautiful work and wonderful stylist!

Mandi is the best! I showed her a photo of what I wanted for wedding hair and she did it. I got so many compliments. All of my bridesmaids loved their hairstyles too. Mandi is quick but very attentive to detail. Communicating with her leading up to the wedding was a breeze. Highly recommend! ❤️

Mandi was great!

It was definitely hard planning the wedding from so far away (I live in DC, but got married in Gainesville, FL), but Mandi was great to work with throughout the process!

The hair trial, for me, was essential. I have baby fine, straight hair that I feel can be difficult to work with because it just wants to go back to being straight and flat. Mandi was so welcoming and flexible - she really put me at ease. In the trial, she tried multiple looks for me and my mom. I was pretty set on the up-do from the beginning, but my mom was on the fence, so seeing the other options - which are a little more like what she is used to seeing me do with my hair - was tremendously helpful and brought her around to my way of thinking!

I really appreciate that Mandi took my vague idea and made me look truly stunning! I told my (now) wife that she’s going to have to learn how to braid my hair like that because it looked AMAZING and I want to do my hair like that next time I have a fancy event to attend. I feel like I looked older (in a good, sophisticated way), and it was a relief to not have to worry about my hair falling in my face, or blowing around.

Perfect hair for a perfect day!

Mandi did such an incredible job for my bridesmaids, mom, & I! Everyone’s hair looked absolutely amazing, and she has such great ideas for braids and twists to make hair look even more beautiful. I also bought hair extensions and she took the time to put them in and curl them. Thank you Mandi for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day :)

I recently needed my hair styled in a vintage look for my new website stylized photo shoot. I hired Once Upon A Stylist, and could not have been happier. I printed out a picture of a specific Vintage Wave Hairstyle and when Mandi got finished, it look identical to the picture that I gave her! It was absolutely stunning!!! She is professional and personably all at the same time. I will definitely be using her again & highly recommend her. Thanks again for making my hair stunning! I got so many compliments on it and I adored it.

I really enjoy working with Mandi. She is so talented and has such a sweet and calming personality. Every time I refer her to a client, they are ALWAYS happy with the results.
