Dana, Courtney, Nicole and the whole Brushing Bride team were absolutely amazing! They were so accommodating from my trials to the wedding day! They are so much fun, kind, and responsive. They truly care about making your day so special and exactly what you envisioned. They are such a talented team! Every single one of my bridesmaids said it was the best hair and make up they have received!! They bring the best energy your wedding morning and I could not recommend them enough!! The best!

Highly recommend! Nailed the glamour curls!

Nicole was an absolute dream and pleasure to work with! From the start of my bridal vision journey, she was patient and flexible with ideas, and went above and beyond to make me me feel like a queen on my wedding day! I told my husband we need to plan another event just to have those glamour curls all over again! Extremely smooth process. I can’t recommend The Brushing Bride enough!!!

I highly recommend The Brushing Bride for your wedding experience. My daughters wedding day was absolutely beautiful. Our stylist Dana was prompt, ready to go, professional and went above and beyond for us. She was amazing and so easy to work with. There was nothing she couldn’t do!!!! The entire day stayed on schedule, which took all the stress away.

Nicole’s hair skills are FIRE

Nicole did my wedding hair- and my moms- and we looked amazing. Everyone complimented how beautiful both ‘dos were and she really fit the styles to us and our outfits. She was amazing at rescheduling, replanning, and all the rest that we had to do over the past 1.5 years. I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
