Cailey was AMAZING. I have never felt so beautiful, she did a great job with both my wedding hair and makeup. She was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process, booking the trials and wedding day was a breeze. I could not have chosen a better person to handle my bridal hair and makeup.
Azalea Bridal was absolutely wonderful. We had hair and make up done. Prior to the wedding my daughter wasn't sure how she wanted it done. Cailey worked with her to find the perfect hairstyle. She is wonderful with communication, caring. Recommend 100%
Cailey is the best. She did my hair for a work holiday party, and it stayed intact all night until I took it out at midnight. I recieved so many compliments and I highly recommend her for any hair styling you may need.

You looked stunning as always! thanks again for thinking of us for your holiday party <3
Any questions?
Cailey’s skill and expertise are unmatched. I’ve had many stylists in the past who “just do their own thing”. Cailey truly takes the time to listen to wants and needs of her clients. Always a pleasure to have her help with our “updo” needs!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/13/2024

Thank You for allowing us to come travel to you and glam you and the entire family, we had a blast getting ready! Non stop laughs
Cailey was a delight to work with from beginning to end. She was so easy to book with, worked with my crazy work schedule to find a time to do a trial run. She was also gracious enough to make time to also do a trial for my mom. She asks questions about your upcoming day to make sure what you are envisioning will practically work and hold, which I greatly appreciate. You are hiring people for their expertise, so I think it’s important to have someone that is confident in what they do, which was obvious with Cailey!
Day of she completed hairstyles for 8 of us in a timely and organized fashion. She was flexible with the makeup team but made sure everyone had enough time in her chair (including those that had to let their curls set), without anyone feeling rushed.
She has a wonderful energy about her – she is kind, funny, and professional. Anyone would be lucky to have Cailey for their special event.
Thank you for everything Cailey!

Thank you so much for taking your time to review. Im so glad we could bring you vision to life for your perfect day. You looked beyond stunning, Congrats again <3
Cailey was absolutely amazing! I have never looked so good in my life! First of all she was so kind and she made everyone feel so special while getting us ready. She was able to do everything I asked even when I changed things the week of, she had it all down. I couldn’t thank her enough for everything she did. She is very talented in what she does and personal, customer service is number 1 to me and she was kind and so easy to talk to. I will use her anytime I need hair or make up again.

Mackenzie you made such a beautiful bride and I had so much fun getting you ready to marry you soulmate. wishing you years of happiness! Thank you for the review
My wife and I were referred to Cailey by a mutual friend. Neither one of us had a set idea of how we wanted out hair and after our hair trial, we were both completely blown away with what she came up with. She took 3 pictures of things I liked and put it all into one amazing look. She was very punctual on the day of the wedding and was able to get through both bridal parties with time to spare. I would recommend Cailey to anyone looking for a stylist for their wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2023
Thank you For the Review Becca, i Truly had blast getting both parties ready for your big day, You both looked out of the world and im so happy to be a small part of your big day! congrats again to the both of you
Cailey styled my wedding hair with a beautiful boho braid. She brought my vision to life and my hairstyle was absolutely perfect. She made myself and my bridal party feel so comfortable. We all received so many compliments on our hair. If you’re struggling with finding a stylist who specializes in wedding hairdos, look no further! Book Cailey’s services with confidence!
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2023
Still drooling over your boho braid!!! thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your big day, you looked stunning! cheers to many years!!
I was incredibly happy with the work Cailey did on my make up and hair! She goes above and beyond for her clients and made sure that my day went perfect. She is so easy to talk to and helped with anything and everything I needed giving me touch-ups between photoshoots. Her skills are stunning and my dreams became a reality, this is someone you want to do your hair and makeup on your big day! She will make adjustments as needed, pausing to ask for feedback throughout the process; she wants to make your day as special as she can. I could not have asked for a better stylist and artist for my wedding day, thank you so much for everything! I've never felt so beautiful in my life Cailey!!!

Cailey made me feel so comfortable and was so sweet and professional while doing my makeup for my wedding day. She asked me throughout how I was feeling about the makeup so I never felt like I was worried about how it would turn out. HIGHLY recommend!!

Amelia thank you for the review and allowing me to do your hair for your most special day, you truly look beautiful! congrats again love
Pam C .,
My daughter was very unsure of what she wanted for her wedding day updo . Cailey created an absolutely gorgeous style that held up the entire day !! I would highly recommend her for any and all occasions.
Cailey was amazing! We had a very large party and she had no problem at all meeting us at 6 AM to get started. She then showed the patience of a saint when one of the maid of honors was sick and she had to do extra attention to her hair twice. She did all of this with a smile, a joking and fun approach and truly made the bride (who was about to be my daughter-in-law) at ease.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Early start but so so worth it! You were right by my side the whole day start to finish making sure everything else was taken care of for Aja, she is so lucky to have you in her life. Thank you for all you did that day and for the sweet sweet ...
words in your review. I truly appreciate you
Cailey’s passion and professionalism surrounding her craft are absolutely unrivaled. She arrived well before her first scheduled appointment time with a beautifully enthusiastic and joyful disposition despite having a full plate of 8 formal hairstyles to accomplish. She even went above and beyond by offering a complimentary styling for my flower girl. She is extremely kind and cultivated in the world of hair artistry and was able to create the PERFECT masterpiece for my bridal style on my wedding day. I cannot thank her enough for bringing mine and my bridesmaids visions to total fruition and beyond. I cannot recommend her business enough to any future bride or potential client! I had an absolutely wonderful all around experience with Azalea Bridal Collective.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Your kind words make my heart so happy. Thank you Emma for allowing me to be a small part of your big day. Everything was perfect from your dress to every detail at the venue. i hope you both so many years of happiness, congrats again babe!
I have known Cailey for my whole life as a family friend. Since finding her passion in the hair world she has been a part of all of my formal hair needs. She has done my junior prom hair, senior prom hair, and so it was only fitting to have her for the most important hair day of my life; my wedding day hair. Talk about a top notch gal doing a whole bridal party hair and make up and having us ready on time even with a last minute cancellation of help. This girl knows how to stay calm, cool, and collected even in a pinch. Me and my bridal party had such a fun time getting ready with Cailey!!!! I have never felt more B E A U TI FUL! If you are in the market for a hair artist (as she is one) & a makeup beauty guru; then you just don’t want Cailey, YOU NEED HER ladies!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Thank you for asking me to doo your hair for all your events but most importantly your wedding day. From growing up together who would have thought I would be the one for such a special day, and talk about perfect day from weather to the flower...
s blooming! congrats again love
Cailey has been there for me, at the drop of a hat, countless times for beauty emergencies. Interview? Headshots? Family pictures? She has nailed it every single time. She can do incredible transformations that leave you feeling beautiful and confident, all while making you feel comfortable and right at home. When I do tie the knot, Cailey will without a doubt be my first and only choice. Aside from her knowledge, skill and talent, her passion for her craft is also impeccable. This, and her truly genuine personality and naturally caring nature is what sets her apart from the rest. Cailey makes your experience personal, and goes above and beyond to make things as special as she can for you.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Ahh I love you, thanks for letting me primp you over all these years, you have been my most practiced model with color, makeup and hair im sure of it! I will be honored to do your hair the day of your wedding when that day comes to prince charm...
ing, until then lets playyyy
Cailey was amazing to work with to determine my bridal hairstyle. On the day of the wedding she also had extreme patience with my mom and the last minute addition of my mother-in-law. During our hair run-through, she listened as we attempted a couple different ways even though there is only so much to do with short hair. I only wish that my makeup had also been done by her as well. But since the wedding I have used her for other events needing makeup and updos.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Thank you Melissa, what a great day we had getting you all dolled up for your wedding! Thank you for putting your trust into me that day and over all the years in the salon with all your events you go too! Time to make another dress right? hah...
a. thanks again :)
Cailey is the BEST bridal hair specialist! She prides herself on her work and crafting her skills. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor made for smooth sailing on my wedding day! I'm still obsessed with how perfect my hair was on the day of my wedding and it lasted all night long (in the heat of August). I have long hair down to my butt, a lot of hair in general. Cailey made my vision as a Bride, a dream come true! Trusting her with not only styling my hair but everyone else's too was one of the best decisions I could have made. I am so appreciative of Cailey, thank you so very much!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022
Ponytail for daysss haha im still jealous of the amount of hair you have, thank for you trusting me on the biggest day. I appreciate your kind words, it makes my heart happy to know you loved it so much! Congrats again Mrs. Schumm
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Cailey did the hair for. Not only does she do amazing hair, she was there early, with a smile on her face ready to go! Cailey is patient and will be the calm that you need while getting ready for your big day. We all got did different hairstyles ranging from updos to half up half down styles, and we all LOVED our hair! 10/10 would recommend cailey!!!

Cailey did mine & my 4 bridesmaids hair & makeup on my wedding day. She, of course, did a beautiful job! She executed a unique hairstyle that complimented each one of my bridesmaids perfectly. I, myself, couldn’t have imagined myself to look any other way on my wedding day. I have Cailey to thank for that. Not only does Cailey do awesome work, she also has such a fun loving & easy going nature to her. It really just makes the whole experience a package deal. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2022

After all the planning that goes into a wedding, making sure you look your best should be a no-brainer.
Hiring Cailey ensures you will look your absolute best on your best day ever. Not only will you look your best, you will FEEL your best.
Cailey really listens to her clients & plans ahead to make sure you know what you’re getting the day of. Her personality makes every appointment fun & it feels like you’re hanging out with a friend while getting your hair done.
Can’t recommend her enough!

Cailey is amazing! She's done tape in and sew in extensions for me and is the only person I trust to give me the fullness and length I love to play with. Extensions are a process - Cailey keeps it fun, shares styling / care tips, and stays in touch throughout the life of the hair. Highly recommend her for all your entention needs!

Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2022
Thank you so much Charlee, you’re so sweet! I’m so excited that you loved everything so much, what a perfect day it was. Thanks for allowing me to come get you girls ready ❤️
5 stars for quality, professionalism, creativity, and punctuality. Cailey goes above and beyond with her work. I’ve been in her chair for many years so it was without hesitation that I chose her to do my bridal party and bridal hair for my wedding. She was excellent as expected, during the trial she spent extra time than usual to make sure I was completely happy and was not bothered when my mom came in and started messing with her masterpiece. Day of the wedding cailey was early to set up her station. She even finished our bridal party early, when does that ever happen? She was able to manage multiple people in the group and was even able to add on my flower girls hair at the last minute. When I saw myself as a bride, it brought a tear to my eye. Cailey, thank you for making me feel beautiful and comfortable. Your work is gorgeous and your demeanor is top notch, I couldn’t have ask for better results. THANK YOU!

Emmy, thank you so much for taking the time to review Azalea Bridal! Your big day was so special and I’m honored to have been part of it! You’re gorgeous inside and out
Cailey’s talent is unmatched. Her updo skills are above the average stylist. She listens to exactly what you want , makes sure she asks questions as she goes to make sure you’re liking it as well as suggestions if you need them. Cailey is capable of handling multiple updos for an event with equal attention to detail first to last. She never stops learning to keep up to date on the trends and classics. Not to mention ontop of it all how kind and warm she is and will never make you feel bad if you don’t like something during a trial she wants you to love it!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words Mary and choosing me to be your stylist on such an important day! I’m so thrilled you loved your finished look!
Cailey is the absolute best! She did such an amazing job on my hair. She was on time, very helpful and so professional. Everyone gave me so many compliments and the best part it all held up and together for the entire night. All my bridesmaids and mother were in love with their look. Would 20 out of 10 recommend!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2022
You’re the best!! You were drop dead gorgeous, you made my day so easy and had blast getting you girls ready! Congratulations again 💕
Cailey made my vision come to life! She took the time to get to know me and what I wanted on my big day. If all else failed, I knew that myself and bridal party would look amazing! Cailey made everyone feel very comfortable, and was super personable. Our hair and makeup looked beautiful through wedding tears, and champagne cheers. My pictures were beautiful and everyone was so happy and feeling their best. Cailey is versitale and worked her magic on myself, bridesmaids, young flower girl, and grandmother. All of our looks were so natural and beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend Azalea Bridal Collective to make your beauty wishes come true!
