    Shawnese is simply amazing! I have been being unkind to my natural hair due to my job being so stressful some days. I will normally do a wash and go which dries out during the day or pull back a tight bun. My hair was a mess. I was in my friend’s wedding and so I found her page through a friend and I made my hair appointment. All I can say is, WOW. She restored my hair back to a great, full, bouncy, shiny, just amazing state. A lot of people don’t do natural hair well but Shawnese did an amazing, amazing job. It didn’t even frizz on the night out of the rehearsal dinner and lasted through the wedding day festivities and beyond. She just restored so much moisture! Thank you shawnese! I absolutely love my hair!

    Thank you, Shawnese!

    Shawnese was AMAZING! She was very professional, a great communicator, and did a wonderful job doing my hair on the day of my wedding. I was VERY nervous about how my wedding look would come together and it it would last the entire night. I booked her pretty late in the game, so I didn't have the time to do a trial, which added to my nervousness. She arrived on time on the day of and wand curled my hair to perfection! She was so sweet and personable, which helped to calm my nerves about my hair. The curls lasted the entire night through lots of dancing and sweating. Book her for your wedding look!

    A complete moment to remember from start to finish. My wonderful day was made that more special because of her spectacular artistic skills on my hair. The pictures came out beautifully and I can't thank her enough for making my special day more special!

    I would hands down go to Shawnese!

    AMAZING! I loved her work and would chose her again and again if I could! She's just such an artist! She made me feel so special and beautiful on my wedding day and shes such a delight to talk to. She kept me calm and cheerful while prepping me for all events, and she was able to work with me for adding additional people to get hair done very last minute. If I ever need hair done again, I would hands down go to Shawnese!

    Words cannot express how much I love Shawnese ! From the moment I met her, I knew it was going to be one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Booking with her is very easy and she is very quick to respond to emails. Being an out of town bride, she was very accommodating when it came to scheduling my hair trial. When I showed her pictures of what I envisioned on my wedding day, she knew exactly what I wanted and we were on the same page. My hair looked amazing after my trial and I was so excited for my wedding day.

    The day of, she showed up early with her assistant. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law absolutely loved her and loved their hair as well. We made a few minor adjustments to my hair the day of that were slightly different than the trial. I can honestly say my hair looked even better the day of than it did at the trial and I didnt even think that was possible. My hair was exactly how I imagined it. It looked so beautiful. I absolutely loved the style she did on my bridesmaids as well.

    I have to say that even though Shawnese did the most amazing job on all our hair, she did so much more than that. Shawnese is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was so sweet throughout every encounter that we had. The day of the wedding I'm sure she could tell that I was a nervous wreck and she was just so nice and calming on a really hectic day. She also helped me do things she didnt even have to do. My mom was struggling to help me fix and button my dress and Shawnese stepped in to help even after she was done with all of our hair. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She was truly a blessing throughout my whole wedding experience and I would choose her over and over again !

    I'm so glad I was able to work with Shawnese, and she was so easy to work with! I was an out-of-town bride, and luckily she is a morning person so she was able to work with my travel schedule for my trial early in the morning. On wedding day we started getting ready early also for our noon wedding so she could have plenty time for any just-in-case mishaps (thankfully there were none). That is very comforting to a bride, and one less thing to worry about! She was also able to make my hair more beautiful than I imagined, as I had not seen that particular style much so I don't think there were many references to go by. Shawnese also did a wonderful job on everyone else's hair. I am so grateful she had availability on my wedding date, and her type A personality really sat well with me as a bride. Thank you so much, Shawnese!!!

    If you're having any doubts, stop. Shawnese did an amazing job on my wedding day. She handled 7 ladies that day including myself. Shawnese was on time and stayed right on schedule. She's a pleasure to work with, very friendly and easy to talk to. We each had an idea of what we wanted for her to do with our hair and she executed each hairstyle flawlessly. Pricing was right on point with the rest of the market and our hair styles were still beautiful by the end of the night. I'd absolutely use her again for any future events or even just for general hair care.

    SM Hair Couture prepared my hair for my wedding in October. Not only did Shawnese get the up-do totally correct, we had a trial run that was very detailed and thorough...she knows her STUFF! The price was right, the time it took for her to do the trial and the actual day of wedding hair was UNREAL- she was quick and efficient....my hair never fell out and I didn't have a headache from the bobby-pins. It was seriously, perfection.
    If you are looking for someone who is experienced in high fashion or bridal hair that looks original and classic...Shawnese of SM Hair Couture is the absolute best - her credentials prove it, but her work proves it best. Thank you so much for being there on my day! I would recommend her to ANYONE! Shenae Franklin

    I'm so happy to have chosen Shawnese as my wedding hairstylist. She has a great personality and was able to execute my vision in one take. On my wedding day I had no worries about my hair, because I knew I was in good hands. Everyone loved my updo and it went perfectly with my dress. So if your looking for a talented stylist to create the hairstyle of your dreams, Shawnese is it!!!

    Having hair natural hair, it took me awhile to find a stylist that could give me the style of my dreams for my wedding. I'm so happy I found Shawnese. She was a pleasure to work with and as very flexible with my out of town needs. She made sure that as a bride I was 100% happy and confident in my wedding hair. Since the wedding I continue to go to her when I'm in town and my mom now get her hair done on a regular basis.

    Shawnese is very understanding and patient to the indecisive bride. Hair was very important to me. As It should be for every bride, however so many brides hair has fallen by their reception and I wanted a timeless style that would last. My hair is natural and I did not want it to revert. Shawnese and I had multiple trials and she did not mind looking at multiple videos and rituals tutorials to try to grasp the vision I wanted duplicated. She starts your hair as a palette that she can change and fix and modify until you have the perfect style! I had beautiful hair alllll night!

    Shawnese not only facilitated my ideal wedding hair, but has been my stylist for many years. I am a very no nonsense client (have been growing out my natural hair). Shawnese has never made me feel pressured or attempted to "up sell" me on anything. That being said.. I wanted to look OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING on my wedding day. Shawnese delivered. Extensions with cascading curls and perfect veil placement, all without dying my natural hair. She managed to take what I was comfortable with and elevated my vision in to something better than I could have dreamt of. Her always helpful and hands on, yet professional, demeanor helped to make my big day start of flawlessly.

    Shawneese styles my sew-in for my friend's wedding, and I loved it! She makes your vision come to life. My braid and bun was exactly what I asked for and very elegant. If you're looking for a professional that takes pride in her work stop here. I promise you won't regret it!

    If you're thinking about booking Shawnese, what are you waiting for?!? She is so creative and so talented. I had no idea what I wanted t do with my hair. I just knew I wanted a specific color and some type of braid. A few months before, she started working on my color. After one try she got it perfect and helped me keep it fresh and healthy until my wedding day. After seeing a two hairstyles I loved on Instagram. After simply looking at a picture, she tried them both and we both fell in love with one. I found an in-depth video on how the original stylist created the look. It was like an hour long. I sent it to her, she actually watched the entire thing and on my wedding day she did it better than the original stylist. She's the only one I trust with my hair and I couldn't have found anyone else to do a better job on my wedding day!

Her passion to make you feel like you're the only bride on earth, and to make your hair just as special as your day is all a bride can ever ask for. I felt like the only woman in the world.

    I absolutely love Shawnese. She is amazing at what she does. She was only supposed to do my hair and 3 of my 4 bridesmaids but when she finished, the 4th bridesmaid and both mother's asked if she would do their hair as well and she had no issues fitting them in. And she did it 8 months pregnant. I can't say enough how happy I was with how everyone looked. Everyone's hair was unique but looked great as a group in pictures. both mother's looked amazing and were extremely pleased with their hair (no small feat).

    Shawnese flew to Pittsburgh, PA for my wedding on April 18th. We were in consistent communication about my vision for my wedding via phone and email. She was very professional and knowledgable throughout the entire process and ultimately helped me find the perfect look. I am so thankful to have found Shawnese and my day would not have been complete without her! I would recommend her for all of your hair needs. I felt like a princess!!! She was such a sweetheart and she me calm throughout all of my wedding day gitters.

    Shawnese was great. I told her what I wanted (no pictures), and she executed it. She made me feel super comfortable as I was freaking out at times trying to make sure everything was perfect for that day. She walked me through everything she did to make sure I was happy with it and that's important to me. I am a hairstylist also so I'm extremely picky, but she was very patient with me and reminded me that this was my day and everything would be perfect. I was so happy with how my hair turned out. I highly recommend her.
