Ashlee was amazing to work with and super accommodating. I had a total of 6 people with multiple different hair textures and everyone's hair came out lovely (even after I gave inco...
rrect instructions for someone with very curly hair)! My hair also lasted all day and looked amazing throughout the night. Ashlee also showed my bridesmaids how to put in my veil before she left which was super helpful since it was long and not practical to wear throughout the day. It was such a fun morning and really set the tone for the rest of the day.
Ashlee was wonderful to work with and so accommodating when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my hair. She made me feel at ease and kept me laughing from the trial to my weddi...

I couldn’t have asked for a better hairstylist for my wedding day. From our very first consultation, Ashlee truly listened to what I wanted. My hairstyle was perfect—it held up all...
day and night. Not only did she do an amazing job with me, but she was also wonderful with my bridal party, making everyone feel special, especially my 5 year old niece. I’m so grateful for her talent and kindness. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist for a special occasion!
Ashlee was fantastic!! I changed how I wanted my hair slightly between my trial and wedding day and I still think she got my vision perfectly. My bun stayed put all day, even throu...
gh dancing and pinning in my heavy veil and taking it out again. It was not going anywhere! All of my bridesmaids’ hair looked fantastic as well, we got so many compliments on how beautiful our bridal party looked. I am so thankful, and I would highly recommend Ashlee to anyone for their wedding day. A bonus that she is also hysterical and a great person to talk to - helps with the morning nerves. :) Thank you Ashlee!
Ashlee was amazing and I could scream it from the rooftops!!!!
Not only was my hair gorgeous for my wedding (of course), but Ashlee was such a comforting presence when I was feel...
ing super stressed the morning of! She helped me laugh when I could have cried, and was so so sweet and patient with me while I was super anxious getting ready! She truly made my day so much better and I'm so grateful for her amazing energy - and amazing talent with my hair!!!
Ashlee was great to work from the trial to the wedding day. As soon as I sat in her chair at the trial, I felt at ease. We talked through what I want and she was open to feedback a...
s we went. She gave me tips on what I should do with my hair before the wedding to ensure the style looked amazing the day of, which as someone who doesn’t do much with her hair day to day, I really appreciated! Day of the wedding, she was so sweet and great to talk to! At the beginning of the morning, I stopped in to check on a bridesmaid post hair wash, but pre-blowdry and she stopped what she was doing to put some product in my hair. My hair turned out amazing and exactly how I wanted and it stayed in through the hours of dancing. I highly recommend booking her!
My entire bridal party had the best time with Ashlee and Tammy; they were professional, incredibly talented, and so much fun! Ashlee was such a pleasure to work with from the ease ...
in booking her services, to coming to my hotel and giving me a blowout for the rehearsal dinner, to the morning of my wedding and pulling off the most intricate, beautiful and SECURE updo I've ever had! Ashlee was so accommodating when I told her I wanted to completely pivot from what we tried at my trial, and she created my vision of my updo even better than I had pictured! I cannot recommend Ashlee enough; not only is she a talented hairstylist and a wonderful person, but she genuinely cares about her clients and her brides. I would book her again and again!!
Ashlee was SO amazing to work with. From the trial to the wedding day, I had so much fun working with her and Tammy. Ashlee could tell I was really nervous on the morning of the we...
dding and within a few minutes, she had me laughing and settling in to relax and enjoy the day. Ashlee was extremely helpful in drafting a timeline for a large wedding party in collaboration with the make artists and they kept the morning running on time, if not a little ahead of schedule! Ashlee and Tammy made sure everyone felt beautiful and confident and I am SO glad that Hair by Ashalina was available for my wedding date! Highly, highly recommend!

I had the best experience working with Ashlee. She was quick to respond, had great suggestions, very clear in her communication, and was an absolute blast to work with. My wedding ...
party were all so impressed with their hairstyles and thrilled at how long they lasted, many said she was the best stylist they had ever had for an event! As the bride, she was so considerate and made me feel like an absolute rock star, I’m so glad I booked with her! I even started going to her for my regular haircuts after I enjoyed working with her so much. Book her now and you won’t regret it!
Ashlee and Tammy are a dream team! I absolutely love them and was so grateful they were available and there for my wedding day. I had my hair done as well as 7 bridesmaids, my mom,...
and my mother-in-law! Everyone was so happy with how their hair turned out and stayed even through the rain that day and through the night! My vision changed a bit from the trial but was executed perfectly on the day of. So grateful for these ladies!!!

of a fan to keep me cool due to the hotels ac acting up! You never disappoint me and I’m so happy to have had you apart of my special day!
From the beginning, Ashlee was so kind and answered all of my questions. For the trial, I got sick a few days beforehand and had to reschedule and Ashlee was very understanding. I ...
live out of state so I was worried about finding another time that worked for both of us, but she fit me in no problem. On the day of the wedding (9/28/2024), Ashlee and Tammy were on time and even brought me a coffee, which was such a sweet gesture. Everyone in my bridal party (bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB) loved their hair and Ashlee transformed my hair into exactly what I wanted! Ashlee and Tammy even finished ahead of schedule! Ashlee also provided input about where to put my hair piece and I'm so glad I listened to her because she had a great idea. If you are looking for someone who is skilled in their craft, and also feels like a long time friend and has GREAT energy, Ashlee is your stylist! Look no further!
Ashlee was awesome start to finish! I had so much fun working with her and she just felt like part of the group on the day of. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work and ...
is there to support YOU and have your back. I wanted extensions which I have never done before, and she walked me through what to get and how it would work. She even trimmed my mom’s hair the day of in the hotel room (my mom doesn’t pamper herself often) and was also able to create a unique look for my officiant that was complimented throughout the day/night! She’s very easy to communicate with and you know what you’re getting when you sign on with her. Maybe it’s the mutual Bostonians in us but it’s very apparent she is just a kind hearted, genuine person- and that’s the kind of person you want with you on your wedding day!! My party was just myself, MOH, officiant, and last minute my mom, and worth every penny. She worked really well with my MUA who she had never met before as well, and because she communicated well I was able to easily time each person’s hair and makeup. 100000/10 recommend even if you don’t need wedding looks, go to her salon in Cambridge!!
Ashlee is the best! She cuts my hair regularly so I knew she would do an amazing job, but honestly I cannot say enough great things! I loved how my hair turned out for my wedding d...
ay, and my bridesmaids, my mom and my MIL were all happy with their hair as well. I have long, very, very thick hair and Ashlee took the time to make sure I was happy with how she styled it into a romantic low bun, and it was perfect! Thank you Ashlee!!!

is very funny! I was amazed with her expertise. She really knows what she is doing. Her work was reflected by the number of compliments I received on my wedding day, along with my hair staying in place throughout the night! I would highly recommend Ashlee to anyone. She is a pro, and I am glad I hired her for my wedding day.

edding day. She was amazing with my young niece, watching Disney movies with her while she did her hair, and singing with us throughout the day. I truly felt hyped and completely comfortable in her chair, and my hair came out exactly how I envisioned. Thank you Ashlee for helping to make my wedding day perfect!
Ashlee is the absolute best! She created absolutely perfect looks for my wife and I that fit our personalities and styles, but also complimented each other beautifully. She and Tam...
my brought such a good energy on the day and made for a really fun experience for everyone. Ashlee also had the idea to use the same head piece for both my wife and I (we had a back up), but weaved them into to each style differently. It was a such a fun idea and we got compliments on it all night! I truly cannot recommend her highly enough!
Ashlee made my wedding hair dreams come true. She had done my hair for a friends wedding and she brought such a fun energy to the getting ready experience, I was so excited to hear...
she was available for the date of my October wedding. She is so talented, funny and a joy to be around. I had changed my mind from my trial and Ashlee worked her magic to create a hair style that I really loved. If your looking for a hair stylist that will listen, make you laugh and feel comfortable and will achieve your hair goals, I highly recommend Ashlee for your wedding!
Ashlee was the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough for wedding day hair!! I loved my updo and my mom and friends looked stunning! Ashlee was so easy to work wth leading...
up to the day-scheduling a trial, coordinating timing for the morning of, everything was so easy. She checked in with us as she worked to make sure we liked our hair and gave such good ideas to my friends and mom who weren't sure how they wanted their hair. Ashlee is also just such a warm, kind person and exactly who you want to have hanging out with you as you get ready. We all had so much fun chatting with her and she felt like part of the group by the end of the morning. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone!
Ashlee is such a great choice for hair. Not only was she able to perfect the style I wanted but she also came up with a hair piece to match it. She’s also just a great person to ha...

I do not have enough good things to say about Ashlee and Tammy. They did my hair + 8 bridesmaids + two moms and everyone looked amazing. I am not sure I have ever been to/been part...
of a wedding where every single person loved their hair until my wedding. We had every range of hair types and they worked with each person to create a beautiful hairstyle that they were comfortable with. Everyone looked absolutely perfect. Also, they are also both just really FUN. They made the whole day great, cannot recommend them enough!!
Ashlee and Tammy did my hair and the hair of my four bridesmaids and my mom for my wedding last week. My hair looked incredible, was exactly what I wanted when I described the look...
that I was going for to Ashlee, and stayed for the entire wedding. I got so many compliments throughout the evening. My bridesmaids and mom loved their hair as well. Not to mention the fact that Ashlee is such a fun, warm person and helped me stay calm the whole morning while I was getting ready. She even went above and beyond and stayed later into the day so that she could do touch ups for everyone and help me put on my veil. I cannot recommend Ashlee enough!
Ashalina was absolutely incredible ! From the hair trial to my wedding day, Ashlee was professional, responsive, and knew exactly what she was doing . She had great input on how ...

also professional and thoughtful. My bridal party and I had such a blast getting ready with her on the big day and everyone loved how their hair turned out. Could not recommend Ashlee enough!
Ashlee honestly felt like one of the bridesmaids. She made everyone – from my younger sister to my mom and mother-in-law – feel comfortable and beautiful. She worked quickly, yet s...
till managed to create stellar hairstyles while keeping up a personal conversation. I love how she gave my sister a braided hair style that was reminiscent of mine, which felt like a thoughtful yet subtle way to identify her as the maid of honor. She did such an amazing job with my hair – I had no idea that my usually flat hair could have so much volume and texture! And it managed to look perfect for 14 hours with no touch ups. A week later, I went back to Ashlee to get a big chop and amazing highlights before my honeymoon. Could not be more grateful for her!
Very grateful to have had Ashlee as part of my wedding day! Ashlee is easy to communicate with and flexible/accommodating when it came to scheduling a trial. On the big day, she wa...

Do yourself a favor and book Ashlee for your wedding day! From the moment we met, I knew I had made the right decision. Ashlee is extremely kind, professional and SO fun! She truly...
went above and beyond, perfecting each of our looks and doing touch ups until the very last minute. She set the tone for a relaxed yet exciting and fun filled morning. Ashlee even took photos and put together a video for us. I cannot say enough good things about her and l absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing hair stylist!!
Ashlee is literally the best! She took her time with me at the trial to make sure I would be getting exactly what I wanted (and that was not an easy feat because I really wasn't su...
re at first). She showed up early on the day of my wedding to make sure we had plenty of time to fix my hair before and after my makeup was complete. I invited her to my wedding, and she even helped fix my hair during the night. Everyone commented on how beautiful my hair came out. Ashlee is one of a kind; she truly cares about her clients and you get more than a stylist - you get a friend! Cannot recommend her enough! She's an artist through and through!
I wish I could give Ashlee 10 stars. My bridesmaids looked stunning (quick shoutout to Tammy!) and their looks lasted all day and all night with no issues. As the bride, who is on ...
the picky side, Ashlee made me look beautiful, and wouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect. My hair was amazing and I got so many compliments on it. I was obsessed! She was professional, warm hearted, and fun! She kept us laughing as we got ready.
Aside from being the braiding queen, she was the #1 “hair-apist.” Ashlee quickly recognized when the high energy in the hotel got to me. We took a break and she brought me into the bathroom to give me space. She then asked me what I needed, and directed my bridesmaids to get it done. She talked me through a time where my anxiety was soaring, to say the least. She even sent me a text later on in the night, wishing me well and hoping I was having a great time. It was the time of my life, and my groom nearly fainted after seeing my look. Hire Ashlee, you will not regret it!!!
Ashlee did an amazing job with my hair and made me, my mom, and my mother in law feel comfortable and relaxed in the process. I'm so grateful to her! Would definitely recommend to ...

Ashlee styled my hair for my wedding day on site at the ceremony location. I had a small bridal party - just my MOH and my Mom doing hair and makeup. Ashlee was one of the few styl...
ists willing to take on my small bridal party AND travel onsite. My wedding was at the beginning of August when temperatures were in the 100's for days so I was very worried about how my hair style would hold up for the ceremony and photos. On the wedding day it was in the high 90's with high humidity and rain so Ashlee advised me to go with an elegant updo. She did an amazing job with what I envisioned for an updo that would go well with my makeup and wedding dress. The hair style held up all day and night (which I did not expect!). My hairstyle stayed intact through bridal photos in the rain and even dancing at the reception. Thank you Ashlee for glamming me up and helping me feel my best on my wedding day!
Well it's obvious that Ashlee does great hair by all these reviews, but she is an absolute riot too! She fit right in with the girls and kept me in a great mood. Would definitely r...

e day so special.
Ashlee is the only person I trust with my hair and her wedding magic did not disappoint. She was available for my rehearsal dinner and my wedding day. We did an updo and down with ...
extensions for the wedding day. She did not disappoint. She worked on my bridesmaids as well and every single one said they were more than happy with their hair and it was above expectations. Everyone was complimenting my hair on the day of the wedding and it stayed all night, even throughout my sweat and dance moves. Usually my hair will fall within hours as it is super fine and doesn’t hold a curl well. Ashlee took to this challenge and ensured it didn’t fall. She arrived early and ready to work. I will recommend her to everyone and would give her 20 out of 5 stars if I could! She made getting ready seamless and was there for touch ups and to assist with holding my train and tying my dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better hair dresser for my wedding and can’t recommend her enough.
Ashlee came as referral from my makeup artist, and she was an absolute delight! Ashlee was super flexible, fun, and talented. Most important, Ashlee's work was beautiful and each o...
