Felt gorgeous on my wedding day

Marissa is a hair and makeup genius!! From the initial communications to the last few touch ups before heading to the church on the day of the wedding, she was an absolutely wonderful person to work with.

I had no idea what to expect when it came to doing hair and makeup the day of the wedding and I reached out to several different hair and makeup professionals in the planning process. Marissa was the ONLY person who responded in such a personable way that made me feel like she truly wanted to be a part of the big day and turn me into a beautiful bride. Her communication from then on was always quick and helpful and she knew exactly how I wanted to look when I went in for my trial!

On the day of the wedding she worked (by herself!) with all of my bridesmaids and both mothers and we got everything finished for our 3:30 wedding even with starting hair and makeup after 8 am! We all felt like she was a part of the wedding party because she was so fun and friendly! Once everyone was finished she made sure to do any last minute touch ups before leaving. I truly felt like a princess when all was finished.

I highly highly recommend Marissa for any hair or makeup needs!!!

Bridal Hair Queen

Marissa did my hair for my Sept 2023 wedding and she was the best. She's responsive, so nice, and is seriously good at what she does.

Her communication is clear, I never felt in the dark or confused about what to expect. She was great the morning of the wedding and worked efficiently while still delivering top-notch looks for me and my bridal party.

Perfect Hair!

True to Marissa’s online presence – she is the queen of the bridal hair game! Much like many of her brides, I have hated the result every single time that I have had my hair done professionally for prom and weddings. My fine, straight hair has never held up in the styles and the amount of hairspray applied only made my hair look like a poodle. I specifically hired Marissa because of this and her experience and results with hair like mine. The excitement I had when I received her email that she was available on my date was probably one of the most excited moments in my whole planning process. I had such anxiety leading into the wedding planning wanting to feel confident and beautiful but knowing that I’d never felt that way before with previous stylists. Knowing that I had Marissa styling my hair took all of that away. The trial was an amazing introduction to her skill and wonderful personality. The bubbly hype woman you see on her social media isn’t for show. She truly is that nice and excited for her brides. She takes the time to ask you for specifics in what you want, length of the event, how your hair normally behaves, etc. to be sure that the style you choose will meet all of your dreams. Her presence in the bridal suite getting ready only added to the joy of our big day. Marissa brought her second stylist, Taylor, given the number of ladies and our timeframe. Taylor brought just as much enthusiasm and focus as Marissa. Both of them looked through the bridesmaid’s inspiration photos picking them apart to understand fully exactly what everyone wanted. Everyone’s hair held up through the WHOLE event, truly a feat as it was a very long time from the first girl leaving their chairs to the end of the night. I am additionally so thankful to her bridal education that she does on her social media about what to expect on that day and tips/tricks to make things go smoothly. Marissa is an absolute gem in the crazy wedding world and should be the first person you hire in your wedding planning process. She’s a hot commodity so reach out early! I am so thankful that I had her there making us all feel so beautiful.

Absolutely stunning!

Marissa is INCREDIBLE! I was counting my lucky stars that she was available for my wedding date. Any future bride would be so lucky to have her as their stylist on their wedding day. She absolutely exceeded my expectations. My hair looked so beautiful and didn't budge at all! I screen shotted a low bun that she styled for another bride because it was exactly what I wanted and she delivered an exact replica! She also provided styling for my future mother in law, future SIL's, and solo bridesmaid. Everyone looked amazing thanks to her!

She is a wonderful person - so charismatic and kind. I felt like I was in great hands from the moment we first connected. I appreciate someone like Marissa because she is SO organized and I need that in my life because I'm Type-A. The whole process was seamless and stress free! I sincerely want to thank you for everything and best of luck with your own wedding plans :-) XO

The Best!!!

Look no further for a bridal hair stylist! Marissa was so great throughout the entire process. From booking to postponing to the wedding day she made the everything run smoothly. She is very professional and was always prompt in her responses and on time for appointments and at the same time so nice, fun, and easy to talk to. She even did my hair for my engagement pictures which I loved! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day and all of the girls hair still looked great at the end of the night. She is constantly working on bettering and growing her business and has the best tips for brides/bridesmaids on her Instagram. Cannot thank her or recommend her enough!

Perfection 🙌

When I tell you people won't stop talking about my hair...it's been 3 weeks! My bridal hair looked so unbelievably good it's hard to put into words. After my trial, I let Marissa know I wanted to change things up and go for a more Cardi B/Pam Anderson updo vibe. BOY DID SHE DELIVER. Not only did she cut my hair (yes she did some snips day of) and produce an amazing end product, but she did it in 45 MINS! LIKE HOW?!

Marissa down to earth, reasonably priced, and so passionate about what she does. Cannot thank her enough for making my hair the talk of the wedding (and still goin'). 👏

Marissa is amazing!

I absolutely loved working with Marissa from the start to the day of my wedding! She was always quick to respond, lovely to work with, and always incredibly helpful! During my trial, I was blown away by Marissa’s work and the outcome of my hair and makeup! To my surprise, my hair and makeup was even more beautiful the day of my wedding. I was so worried about my tiara falling out or moving during our dance, but Marissa ensured me that wouldn’t be an issue. She allowed and encouraged me to wiggle my head around as much as I could to make sure I was comfortable with the way it felt. She showed my bridal party how to bustle and remove my veil after the ceremony and she was all in all just amazing to work with! I cannot recommend her and her team enough!!

Book marissa!

I HIGHLY recommend booking Marissa for your wedding day. She truly worked MAGIC with my hair, and it lasted from 9am until 3am, not a piece was out of place. She even worked with me after I changed my mind on how I wanted my hair after the trial. I showed her the (Kim K) inspo photo and she just completely ran with the image and made it better than I could've imagined. I also can't forget to mention how she has a rock star personality, I felt like she was a good friend before even meeting her. I highly highly highly recommend Marissa!!

Hair & makeup that looked perfect all day/night long

Hair and makeup was, for me, the absolute hardest vendor to book. On an average day I’m a “let my hair air dry & mascara only” kind of a girl. It was important to me that I look natural but not washed out in photos. For hair, I wanted it up, out of the way, and looking good all night. My hair and makeup was perfect all day and night (it was a 90 degree day in May!). Marissa even stayed to place my vail and show my bridesmaids how to remove it without damaging my hair.

With having a trial prior, you should love your hair and makeup on your wedding day. What I think speaks even louder to Marissa’s talent is how everyone else in my wedding party felt. Every single one of by bridesmaids was in love with their hair & makeup. They brought inspiration pictures and Marissa nailed each hair style ... one of my bridesmaids said it was the best hair she’s ever had done as a bridesmaid.

On top of her talent, Marissa is truly a joy to work with. She knows her stuff, sends the most timely reminders (timing for cut/color prior to your wedding), and is FUN! Marissa is also a hard worker—just take a look at her Instagram. I promise she won’t rest until you feel your wedding look is nailed. I will give Marissa’s name to every one of my friends and if I can find a reason to book her again for myself, I absolutely will.

A talented professional!

Marissa is absolutely fabulous! She is incredibly talented and made me and my bridesmaids feel incredibly beautiful. She answers emails promptly, was on time for our wedding day, and kept us right on schedule while not making us feel rushed or underdone. I would recommend Marissa's service to all of my friends and family.
