Amazing hair stylist - and so warm!

Izzy is amazing! They did my hair for my wedding, along with my three bridesmaids and my mom. I LOVED my hair, and my bridesmaids and mom (a very tough customer) also loved theirs. I was nervous about my hair because I’ve never really liked how hair stylists have done it before, and I wanted to make sure my hair stylists would know how to work with Asian hair. Izzy was so responsive to all my requests and provided expert guidance. They were conscientious and referenced back to the notes we had exchanged after the trial when they did my hair on the big day. They were also incredibly flexible when one of my bridesmaids decided at the last minute that she did want her hair done.

Izzy was also such a fun and warm presence in the bridal suite. They made it so chill and fun! I'd absolutely recommend Izzy to anyone!

A Pleasure to Work With!

Izzy is the best! I absolutely loved working with him from start to finish! My trial was in the summer of 2020 with our wedding originally planned for March of 2021 but we had to push it back to March of 2022. I had changed my mind of how I wanted my hair to look and just from picking out different things I liked from pictures of different hairstyles, Izzy gave me exactly what I wanted (if not better)! On the day of the wedding Izzy and his assistant were so great to be around, making great conversation and keeping us all laughing. One of my bridesmaids kept saying she wished she had hired Izzy for her wedding!! I would recommend Izzy to everyone, such a pleasure to work with!

Perfection!!

Izzy was AMAZING to work with!!! The best decision made for my hair and the bridal party's hair. From our first hair trial together, we totally clicked and Izzy NAILED exactly what I wanted!! On the wedding day Izzy was able to seamlessly blend extensions into my hair. Everyone commented on amazing my hair looked. The whole bridal party raved about their hair! Izzy's assistant was also wonderful. Thank you so much!!!

So talented and easy to work with!!

Izzy and their assistant, Jackie, did an absolutely incredible job styling hair for me and my bridal party. My hair had gotten quite long during COVID, and I was hoping for an updo that struck a balance between polished glam but still soft and romantic. Izzy absolutely nailed the look I was going for. I felt truly beautiful all day long and my updo held up perfectly despite the summer heat and even after hours of dancing. All of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother in law were super pleased with their looks as well.

I did a hair trial with Izzy a couple of months before the wedding; the trial look was already beautiful but Izzy incorporated some minor feedback that I had and the wedding day look ended up being even better.

Izzy was super professional and easy to work with from start to finish. When COVID hit, we postponed our June 2020 wedding to June 2021, and I was so thrilled that Izzy was available for the new date. Izzy was super responsive to email and so accommodating in all things regarding logistics and scheduling. Izzy is also kind, funny and easy to chat with. I thought that their prices were more than fair for the DC/Northern Virginia area and especially considering the skill level. I would 1000% recommend Izzy to any brides out there!

Amazing hair stylist!!

With covid there naturally werelast minute changes and Isabel was so easy to work with! I have no expertise on hair so I just showed Isabel some ideas for my wedding hair and she went above and beyond amazing! I wanted hair that was vintage style for our 1920s themed wedding. Isabel is very thorough on everything and that's just what a bride needs. I cannot wait for her to work her magic on my hair again for my rescheduled reception!! I highly recommend Isabel to any bride who is in need of a hair stylist.
Isabel also styled my sister and sister in law's hair and both turned out beautiful!!

Amazing Hairstylist -- Highly Recommend

Isabel and her assistant Jackie were amazing and created beautiful hair styles for all of my bridal party, mother, mother-in-law, and myself. She took her time to create a couple of styles at the hair trial and listened to my preferences, incorporating my requested changes (including last minute style switch decision from hair down to an up-do), and was able to incorporate my hairpiece beautifully. She went above and beyond even helping me install my veil at the last minute. Isabel and her assistant were professional and kind, and everyone who got their hair done had the best experience! I love the way my hair looked flawless that day and in all of the pictures, and everyone’s hair styles held up nicely. I wanted a clean and mature look, and the style was better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend her!

So pleased - best hair stylist!

Isabel was amazing to work with for my elopement! My hair turned out gorgeous and withheld some serious heat and humidity! The style was perfect - I had requested we make some small changes based on my trial and Isabel was able to make it just right. She also was SO helpful when I needed to find a makeup artist very last minute. Throughout the entire process she was very professional while also having a fun and calm demeanor— must haves for a wedding day! Definitely recommend working with Isabel!

Awesome Wedding Day Hair!

I used Isabel for my wedding on December 13th and she was awesome! Hair was the one thing I was super worried about and Isabel was so helpful, fixing my hair three separate times and offering to touch up and areas I wasn't sure I was in love with. She was a godsent and had such a calming energy. Everyone's hair looked AWESOME!
