Cactus Mane Bridal

Natalie had the hardest job, by far, when it came to hair. My bridal party only had 3 bridesmaids and a flower girl, but she also took care of my mother in law and me. She took care of everyone in less than 3 hours, and every single one of the girls loved their hair! Natalie is a very relaxed and low-key person which perfectly complimented my nervous energy personality. I have never been to a hair salon before, so my hair was VERY neglected the first time we met. I also have very, very long hair and Natalie was excited to work with it. Both of us were shocked to discover I didn’t need extensions for my look, and she had the process mastered by the big day. Working with her was a blessing, and I truly wish to continue seeing her after my wedding to take care of my hair needs. Thank you, Natalie, for tackling everyone was quickly, making the little girls feel heard and beautiful, and for giving me exactly what I wanted my hair to look like at my wedding. You are amazing!

Natalie was absolutely wonderful. She and her assistant did hair and makeup for 6 of us and were so accommodating with everyone. Our hair and makeup was beautiful and Natalie was so talented and was so great about explaining everything especially since I had never gotten my hair and makeup professionally done before!

It was a privilege to have Natalie style my hair and apply my makeup for my wedding day. I chose to get married in Lutsen, not realizing how difficult it is to find a hair and makeup artist that far north. An added challenge was that I chose to have a very small wedding, therefore no bridesmaids, and meeting other vendors’ minimums was impossible. By chance I found Natalie and right off the bat she was nothing but professional, honest, and sincere. I came in for my trial right away, we took photos, we made notes for the day l-of. Natalie even offered a second trial, if I felt I needed it. Pre-wedding I felt so cared for and had so much trust with my wedding-day look in her hands. Day-of, Natalie was EARLY (very appreciated). My services needed to start by 6 am. Natalie was efficient day-of, thoughtful, and nothing but professional. My hair and makeup lasted all day with no smudging or melting. Couldn’t be happier! Since meeting her in February I continue to visit her for haircuts and color - highly recommend her for everything!

Natalie was absolutely amazing! She made my wedding day so beautiful and stress free. She did my bridal hair and makeup, and went above and beyond to make my day special! I cannot recommend her enough!!
