    Dream Hair!!!

    I am a professional wedding coordinator turned queer bride and Mariah was everything I could have dreamed of in a bridal hair stylist! From the first email Mariah was professional, friendly, and truly wanted to get to know me and my vision. At the trial her studio was gorgeous and clean and she walked me through the whole process step by step. She took tons of photos and videos and took notes on any tweaks I requested. On the big day she arrived early and was fully set up with a smile on her face before I even walked in the door! She brought the best vibes to the bridal suite and everyone loved having her there! She got everyone one done ahead of schedule and made everyone look incredible! When she handed me the mirror I literally screamed “YES” and gave her a huge hug because it was EXACTLY what I had envisioned in my head! I have never felt so confident about my hair and I was showing it off to everyone! My spouse told me it was the most beautiful she had ever seen my hair! I danced the night away and didn’t touch up my hair at all and it HELD UP! I’m telling you my hair looked exactly like it did at the end of the night as it did when she styled it! I cannot thank Mariah enough for working her magic and making the little girl in me feel like the princess I’ve always dreamed of being on my wedding day! Mariah was truly an artist and I couldn’t have asked for a better hair stylist for such a special day!

    Amazing!!!

    It was so fun to have Mariah do my hair for my wedding. She was so so kind and fun to be around. I only had a slight idea of what I wanted and she made it really come to life and look better than I could have imagined.

    Hire her!

    Mariah was truly so amazing to work with! She is so kind, responsive, and super talented. She made my wedding hair vision come to life! I had changed my mind on my wedding hairstyle after my trial, but Mariah was so understanding and rolled with my new look and executed it perfectly! I felt beautiful, and it was exactly what I pictured. She also delivered beautiful looks for all of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked lovely! She was able to execute everyones’ visions from updos to ponytails to half up half down. She is truly amazing at what she does! I would absolute recommend her to everyone!!!

    Highly impressed!!!

    Working with Mariah was so much fun. As a stylist myself I was super anxious about getting my hair done. I still stare at pictures of my hair in awe of what an amazing job she did. She made me feel at peace on such a stressful day, which I think is so important for a bride. I loved the look of my bridal party as a few of them have extremely curly hair. My hair held up all night, even until the next morning! Run, don’t walk when choosing her for your day!!

    Loved my hair!

    Mariah did such an incredible job doing my hair for my wedding day! She is so talented and creates the most beautiful, textured hair styles. My bridesmaids were so impressed and they all looked stunning thanks to Mariah! Highly recommend Sei Bella Studio-no need to look any further!

    Stop your search and book Mariah right now!

    Stop your search and book Mariah right now!

    Mariah is absolutely INCREDIBLE, truly the best of the best!! I am SO glad I booked her for my wedding day and I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a hair stylist for their wedding! I can’t say enough good things about Mariah, but all you really need to know is that you should book her immediately.

    My incredible makeup artist (Meg Bryan) recommended Mariah and it was immediately apparent why when I looked at her portfolio online. Mariah is an amazing colorist and is so versatile in terms of styling - she does a gorgeous job with a simple curl or with any number of updos and half updos. I came to my trial with a vague sense of what I wanted, but relied on Mariah to help figure out exactly how to style my hair. She totally understood what I was looking for and did a great job curling my hair and pulling half back into a beautiful twist. I LOVED how it all came out, but it was somehow even better on my wedding day once we made a tweak for comfort’s sake (to get more hair out of my face) and added in extensions. Everything I could have dreamed of + more. Mariah also colored my hair at the same time as my trial and it was in peak condition for my wedding day.

    Mariah is super helpful with the smaller details too. She helped me choose decorative hair pins to work into my style and I was able to buy them directly from her. She also helped me color match extensions so that I knew I would have good quality, matching extensions that would look natural. Mariah is a natural with extensions - so glad I had her add them in!

    My bridesmaids all loved Mariah too — largely because their hair looked amazing but also because Mariah is such a cool, chill person to be around. Exactly what you’re looking for in terms of the vibe when getting ready for your wedding.

    Mariah gave me the long, flowing, beautifully curled, simple but special look that I was dreaming of. I felt like a princess on my wedding day (in a good way), but still very much like myself, which was important to me. Almost as importantly, she gave me peace of mind on my wedding day because it was clear from my trial that I was in such expert hands. Do yourself a favor — stop your search and book Mariah right now before her calendar fills!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, MARIAH!

    Had such a great time working with Mariah!

    I was extremely back-and-forth about what I wanted done with my hair for my wedding and at one point I didn’t think I even wanted a professional up-do, but I am SO glad I went with Mariah for myself and my bridesmaids. She did SUCH a great job and made my whole look come together. She took all of my feedback and what I was looking for and turned it into the perfect ‘do. I would definitely recommend Mariah for any event where you’re looking to feel extra special!

    PERFECT Bridal Updo - 10/10!!

    If you want to feel absolutely STUNNING on your wedding day, I cannot recommend Sei Bella Studio enough!!! I booked with Mariah back in 2020 for my May of 2022 wedding and I am so glad I did. I highly recommend booking as soon as possible as she books up quick!

    I have naturally thick, curly hair and wanted a sleek updo for my wedding day so Mariah recommended seeing her the Friday before my wedding for a blowout which doubled as the perfect rehearsal dinner hair as well. I loved my hair at my trial, but decided I wanted to go with something a little more simple and Mariah absolutely nailed it on the wedding day! I also had originally planned to have a more loose, boho look with face framing pieces but with the rain we both decided it would be safer to keep all of my hair up. I didn't want to worry about messing with my hair and was nervous about my hair getting frizzy with the humidity/rain. My hair stayed put through rain, sweat, and taking my veil on and off several times. At the end of the night, my hair STILL looked amazing.

    Not only is Mariah amazingly talented, she is so sweet and personable and I loved getting to know her. She has such a calm and chill personality which was perfect for the wedding morning! You will not regret booking with Mariah!! Mariah - Thank you SO much for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I will never forget the way you made me feel and I cannot wait to look back on my gorgeous updo in my wedding photos for years to come!

    Braids for days!

    Mariah is a miracle worker. I still look back at photos of my hair from my wedding day & wonder how she made this style happen! I had a few inspo pics from Pinterest that we kind of puzzle-pieced together & it turned out so stunning with my crown & the length I had grown my hair out to by that point (didn't want to have to deal with extensions). I did 2 trials & we tweaked some details, but she was so lovely the whole time while I was being picky about the shape of the style needing to be a certain way. I really appreciate her commitment to perfecting everyone's hair that morning. All my girls' styles looked amazing! She did such stellar work on the spot without knowing how their hair was gonna be beforehand. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

    1,000,000 times over and over again recommend Mariah!!!

    Mariah….where do I start…..she’s an absolute gem!! Mariah I found via Instagram in the midst of the wedding planning process. Funny enough, my friends who were in my wedding liked her work so much they started going to her regularly for haircuts/colors/etc. I too started going to Mariah to get my hair cut and colored prior to (and now after) my wedding. She is so personable and kind. She takes a lot of pride in her work, which shows. Mariah made sure my hair was the perfect color, thickness, etc. for my wedding day hair. From someone who has never really loved their hair, Mariah made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. All of my friend still rave about the amazing hair styles that she did for them too. If I did it all over, the only thing I’d change is that I would have started going to see Mariah for my hair color/cuts sooner than in the wedding process. She’s that good 💗

    Side Note: Mariah also has an array of hair clips, and accessories for the bride to rent for their day of hair, which I think is really cool! She also knows a lot regarding temporary hair extensions (if this is something you need to get the wedding hair look you’re going for). I had temporary clip in extensions in to get a fuller bun look, which I would highly recommend.

    Literally the BEST!

    I literally can’t say enough about Mariah, she was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Not only was she extremely easy to get along with but she completely captured what I wanted for my big day. On top of that, every single one of my bridesmaids LOVED their hair and they all looked stunning. I seriously can’t recommend her enough!!

    Best decision ever!!

    Mariah made all of my hair dreams come true. I showed her a few pictures at my trial and she somehow made them all into my exact vision. I recommend you buy extensions from her as well. Mariah ordered the BFB Blackberry for me and no one could even tell it wasn’t my own. I had princess hair and I will never forget the feeling. She also killed all of my bridesmaids hair and my mom’s (in record time). I’m truly thankful I chose her for the most important hair day of my life. You will not regret booking her!

    Prepare to look gorgeous!

    After years of doing fashion colors and cutting my hair myself, I had major anxiety about booking a hair vendor for my wedding day. Luckily, my make up artist Cagney had a referral up her sleeve and pointed me to Mariah.

    Mariah is amazing, from her chair side manner to her hair skills she made me feel at ease for my wedding weekend. We traveled down to the Charlottesville area a few days before our event and Mariah was able to color and cut my hair before the big day. I let her have full control over my hair, with some input on what I was envisioning, she made all my dimension dreams come true.

    On our wedding day, she came early to do an up do for my Mother-in-Law and did an amazing job making me feel like a fairy grecian princess! My hair looked amazing and to my surprise kept the volume and curls for the entire day.

    I will definitely be making a point to travel out of my way to see Mariah again in the future. She is the only one allowed to touch my hair color now!

    Bridal Updo

    Mariah was AMAZING!! She did my hair coloring prior to the wedding, helped me pick out extensions, and gave me my dream bridal hair. She is truly the best in the game and always works to adjust to exactly what you want!

    Had a perfect experience, she was detail oriented, efficient, helped make suggestions when myself or the bridal party were unsure of what we wanted. Everybody was thrilled with how everything turned out.

    Amazing amazing amazing

    I couldn’t have had a better experience with Mariah. She was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she talented, but super sweet and professional! She is so creative— I showed her several photos of ideas I liked and told her to put her own twist on it. She knocked it out of the park! The top compliments I got all night were my hair and my dress. She was very responsive throughout the trial and the day of, feels like someone you would even want to be friends with! You should book her right now!!!

    Veritas September Wedding

    Mariah did hair for my wedding for ~10 women in total. She did an absolutely beautiful job - each women was thrilled with her final hair style! She perfectly matched to the photos that she was shown. In addition to her work, Mariah was flexible to changes in our timeline, she worked efficiently, and she was a pleasure to have on my wedding team!

    She made all my dreams come true!

    Booking Mariah was the best decision I ever made! She was so professional but also fun and great to talk to. At our trial she worked with me and I even made last minute changes the day of, she did everything I asked for and more. She offered to travel to the hotel we were at free of charge which was so convenient for us. She did everyone’s hair so quickly and efficiently, we were able to get everyone’s hair done in a timely manner and they all looked AMAZING. She really gave me the princess hair of my dreams. Without a doubt one of my favorite parts of the day. I would 100000% recommend her to any bride.

    Talented hair stylist and so sweet to work with!

    I am so grateful to have connected with Mariah for my wedding - she is extremely talented and did an absolutely beautiful job! Mariah put me at ease immediately with her professionalism and responsiveness. She took my feedback from our trial and made a few tweaks to my hair to ensure it matched my vision for my wedding - and it was perfect! Mariah also did my sister and mother's hair on my wedding day - a true testament to her talent and flexibility as their style/aesthetic are markedly different from my own. They both felt as beautiful as I did! I can't recommend Mariah enough!

    Amazing!!!

    Mariah did everyone's hair for my wedding and she was amazing!!! Each person wanted their hair styled differently, and she effortlessly made each style look so beautiful! We all loved her work! Some major changes were made to my wedding plans at the last minute due to COVID, and Mariah was so accommodating, kind, and easy to work with! She never skipped a beat! I highly recommend her to everyone!!

    I couldn’t have been happier with Sei Bella!

    Mariah did an incredible job with my hair and the entire wedding party’s hair. I had a hard time envisioning what I wanted done, and she helped me pick out the perfect style for my special day. She was so easy to work with and provided outstanding service. I would recommend her to everyone! 5 stars!
