Reviews of The Grateful Head
I know as a client of hers, how wonderful she is as a stylist, therapist, and friend. So I was even more excited for my bridesmaids to meet her and find out why I had been bragging about her so much. They were not disappointed. My 6 bridesmaids, myself, and Amber were having the BEST time getting ready for the wedding. Amber reminded us all to eat, stay hydrated (she makes everyone take water breaks) and it just felt like she was one of the girls.
Amber listened to all of the girls wants for their hair styles and made sure that everyone was happy and camera ready before she left. I think she even left with a few new clients. :)
I would recommend Amber 1000x over to any one. She is amazing and such a joy to be around. Thank you Amber!!!
Beyond that she was AMAZING on my wedding day. First of all, Amber came TO US the day of the wedding with all of her supplies and the most calming energy. We hung out in the hotel room, ordered room service, had coffee and relaxed. And with Amber there, I had that one additional friend that made it even more special.
But most importantly, because Amber had taken the time to get to know me, my hair, and my style, not only was it a wonderful morning, but my hair couldn't have looked any better! I am always so nervous about my hair, and she nailed it.
Amber also knew how important having my stepdaughter feel and look beautiful was to me. My stepdaughter has short hair that has been fried from extensive use of hair straighteners. Yet, Amber made her look gorgeous and ecstatic.
But, the greatest testament to Amber is her level of patience and professionalism. Weeks leading up to the wedding, Amber and I had created a full schedule of which females were to have their hair done, and which would do their own. Inevitably, one bridesmaid came in 1.5 hours late and decided she now wanted her hair styled. Amber, being conscientious of my schedule, checked in on my timeline and then graciously welcomed the late comer into the chair and calmly made her look glamorous, without showing a sign of frustration.
Amber was supposed to be with us roughly 4 hours that morning. She'd actually been with us closer to 6, and never complained or looked upset once. She made me feel calm and was a support system that I gladly welcomed and would have happily kept her with me all day.
There is no one I would recommend higher than Amber for special events. She is the full package you want when it comes to styling your hair on those special days. I will never go to anyone else.

Amber is very professional and great at communicating. She reached out to me prior to my hair trial appointment asking for pictures of hair styles I like. I must have sent her 10 pictures of bridal hair styles since I had no clue what would look good on me. When I showed up she was so pleasant and wanted to get to know me, my wedding dress and the look I wanted. The trial went extremely well so I booked with her right away.
On my wedding day, I laughed and thoroughly enjoyed getting ready with her. We spent one minute talking about my hair and the rest of the time we just caught up on each other's lives. I wholeheartedly trusted Amber to create the look I wanted. Not to my surprise, I absolutely loved my hair when she was done! Oh, my bridesmaids' hair also looked amazing! =)
Thank you SO much, Amber, for giving me the look I wanted and for being with me on my wedding day! Love you! <3

The Celebrations by Amy Bacon team was blessed to work with The Grateful Head this past weekend for an entire bridal party. The bride, bridal party and family all looked stunning and were very happy with the look that was achieved. As a planner the communication and flexibility leading up to the big day is so important and we were so impressed with all of the above. We will refer The Grateful Head with confidence and look forward to many more weddings together!
