My experience with Courtney was incredible. She was so detailed in her work, but was so efficient on wedding morning. She made all of my girls, even the moms, so comfortable and ev...
eryone was thrilled with their final product. We had a total of 7 ladies getting ready in the morning and we were done perfectly on time. My trial with her was done at my home and she was very willing me to try a few different styles to make sure I was 200% satisfied. She is incredible and you would be lucky to have her as a member of your vendor team!
Courtney was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is very professional and a master of her craft, and was so easy-going and fun through the whole experience. She gave my hair lif...
e that I didn't know was possible, and it held up perfectly all day and night (even through the dancing and after party shenanigans). She even helped my mom fix her hair and basically craft her hair pins as a super last minute favor (sorry, thank you again), and was super cool about all of it. We were all so happy with her work and she made us all feel so beautiful. Thank you so much!!!
Courtney was amazing to work with! She is very professional and loves what she does! The hair trial was great because I was able to see a few different options for my wedding look....
My bridesmaids, MOB and MOG were also very happy with their hair.

ne had to be ready for our first look. My hair is pretty long and I was worried about having front pieces out, but Courtney cut them for me after she finished my hair and it was perfect. She is seriously the best and I would highly recommend her!

and wedding and she made my bridal party look phenomenal. Everyone's hair was flawless and the best part was that they all looked like enhanced versions of themselves. Courtney is a rock star and Pittsburgh is better for having her! Thank you to Courtney for making my friends, family and I look ultra gorgeous on my big day. You're the best!
Courtney is amazing! She did two looks for me and I love both!! She is so kind and makes you feel relaxed and is great at giving you exactly the style you want. Courtney was so fun...

Courtney and her team are amazing and very talented. Everyone’s hair looked absolutely beautiful and she was so wonderful to work with. Highly recommend.

ear you on your wedding morning! She stayed past what we thought was going to be my final touch up to put my veil in and make sure everything was perfect to get me to the altar! My hair was just as I pictured it to be and it held curl allllll day even in July! Highly recommend Courtney!! Her assistant that day, Jenna, was also fantastic!
Courtney did an amazing job with my hair for my wedding in March! It looked so beautiful and it stayed in perfectly all night long. I had shown her a photo for inspiration and how ...
it turned out was even way better than the photo! She also did a great job with all the bridesmaids, even lending extensions to one so she could have the hairstyle she was hoping for. I can't say enough good things about Courtney!

Courtney is the best in the business. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one, and I truly cannot image our wedding day without Courtney. Courtney seamlessly got a...
bridal party of 12 ready and made everyone look and feel gorgeous. Everyone’s hair looked stunning and their hairstyles lasted for the entire day, despite the heat and humidity in mid July. Courtney is so incredibly talented, creative, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Courtney’s talent speaks for itself, just look at her photos. It’s her kindness that sets her apart. She treated my entire wedding party like family. Courtney went above and beyond in every single way possible. From being flexible and changing her schedule, to helping with absolutely everything from constantly fixing my train for photos to assisting with my gown and photos. She made sure everything was just perfect. It was like having another bridesmaid who was an old friend, despite only meeting her once before.
I cannot say enough about how professional and wonderful Courtney is to work with! She really took the time to get to know me as a bride and my vision for my wedding day, and helpe...
d create the beautiful look I was hoping for with ease. She's a natural, and clearly loves what she does. She helps share in your joy on your wedding day, and doesn't make you feel like you're just another bride. I would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a hairstylist you can trust and know will put your mind at ease. She was easy to get ahold of leading up to and day of the wedding, quick and efficient with all nine girls needing their hair done, and took the time to make sure your veil was placed perfectly. There are many reasons why I wish I could relive my wedding day, but one of the biggest is knowing that Courtney would make me look as beautiful as she did!
My wedding day would not have been the same without having my hair styled by Courtney. She definitely has to be the best wedding hairstylist in Pittsburgh, and beyond. I was extr...
emely anxious the day of my wedding, and she made me feel calm, confident, and the most beautiful that I have ever felt. Going into my wedding day, my mom wasn't sure how she wanted her hair styled, but Courtney knew exactly what would look best. My mom still talks about how much she loved her hair that day. I loved how I looked so much, that a few months later when my best friend got married (and hired Courtney) I asked for the same exact hairstyle. I could not recommend Courtney enough. She is a wonderful person, and so very talented.
Courtney was such an important part of why I loved my wedding day! She was not only incredible about doing two looks (one up and one down), but she was also just a calming presence...
throughout the entire day. She was so easy to work with and did a wonderful job on myself my mom and all of my bridesmaids. She knew that attending cocktail hour was really important to me, so she stayed well past the time she was booked for just so I could attend most of my cocktail hour with our friends and family. Since my wedding I've recommended her to every person I know getting married!!
Courtney was simply amazing! I can’t even begin to express how thankful I am that I was able to have such a professional, creative, and calm hair stylist on the day of my wedding. ...
She really made sure I was comfortable with the style we chose. Courtney made sure that during my hair trial I was completely on board with what we chose. On the wedding day, my makeup artist was running late, and I know Courtney could tell I was starting to stress out. She maintained a calm demeanor throughout and did everything she could, even going so far as to work on my hair while I was getting my makeup done so we could get out the door on time. My hair looked amazing for the entire wedding and reception, holding up perfectly in a 90 degree day in the sun and dancing at night. I can’t say enough good things about Courtney, and would recommend her to any bride needing their hair done for their wedding!
Growing up with a Hair Stylist Dad, I have always been extremely picky about my hair. When I have my hair professionally styled for a wedding or special event, I am inevitably diss...
atisfied and end up rushing to wash / redo my hair. That was until I met Courtney!! I was lucky enough to have Courtney style my hair for a photoshoot. She did a fantastic job and I knew immediately that I wanted to book her for our wedding! Courtney is a PRO. She will evaluate your hair, look at the texture and give you honest recommendations. My hair is fine, so in order to give me more volume for my Wedding Day, Courtney incorporated very natural looking extensions. I couldn't have been happier with the results - she gave me Kate Middleton Hair ;-) !! All of my Bridesmaids, my Mom, and MIL were in love with their hair. Also - everyone's style lasted all night thorough lots of dancing! Not only is Courtney extremely talented, you will love working with her. She is kind, funny, and calm cool and collected during what can be a hectic time getting ready before your wedding! For all of the Grooms out there... Courtney gave my husband the "Jimmy Fallon" blowout and he loved it - highly recommends ;-)
I would highly recommend Courtney to any future bride. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to work with but was professional and was always prompt when answering any questi...
ons. She was very flexible when scheduling a trial session and also setting up a last minute appointment to do my hair for my rehearsal dinner. (Which I would recommend every bride to get their hair done for the rehearsal dinner. It took some stress off and I knew that my hair would look great as well) Courtney was also very helpful with picking the style for my hair and gave great advice on whether to wear and it up or down. I was very indecisive but she was so helpful. She was also great with handling a large group of bridesmaids and three flower girls and everyone's hair looked amazing. I loved the style of my hair for my wedding and it looked better than I could have even imagine.
Could not have asked for anything better than Courtney! She is extremely talented and did such a great job. Everyone looked and felt beautiful which is all I could ask for on such...
an important day! On top of that, she’s extremely sweet! After completing everyone’s hair, she made sure to stay after and be there until wedding time so she could help put on my veil. Courtney was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!
Courtney and her staff did an amazing job on my daughter's hair for her wedding, as well as bridesmaids, myself, mother of the groom and two grandmothers! She was great throughout ...
the entire process from a pre-wedding trial to the wedding day. She was able to take into account of what each individual wanted done with their hair, and transform their ideas into gorgeous styles. Always punctual and professional and helped maintain a calm environment on the hectic wedding day!
Courtney is the best! Not only was she able to do my hair on my wedding day, but she was able to style me for my rehearsal as well. Courtney was the ultimate professional, not only...
did she work and coordinate with all of my vendors to ensure we were on schedule, she did it all without hesitation or direction. Being indecisive about how to wear my hair, she was able to help shape my vision and without much direction, turned my hair into the perfect wedding look. She not only made me look fabulous but friend and family as well. I am forever grateful she was a part of such a memorable day!
ROCK STAR! Courtney and her team did an absolutely incredible job with my hair and the hair of my 14 person bridal party! Courtney’s attention to detail is excellent, and the hair ...
she created with her artistry was striking! Courtney also has a great aesthetic which allowed the bridal party to feel at ease when determining their beautiful looks.
Courtney is professional, organized, supportive, calm, & positive -- all key traits for one of the most important artists you will hire on your wedding day. Courtney also stayed with me for touch-ups until the reception, however, there was nothing much to touch-up, my hair kept beautifully all night.
I highly Courtney to all the brides, and look forward to her doing my hair for my next event!
THE BEST EVER. I have gotten my hair done many times for other individuals weddings but have never been as happy with the final product as I was when Courtney did my hair. I have n...
ever felt more confident. A number of my bridesmaids already have said they want to book her for their own upcoming weddings! You will never regret choosing Courtney to be a part of your big day. THANK YOU, Courtney!
Courtney is hands-down the best choice for your big day! Courtney was initially hired to do just my hair (the Bride) but ended up pitching in with the hair for all my bridesmaids a...

m, easy-going, professional presence in the room, which is so nice since you can easily get flustered on your wedding day. Her knowledge of what is on trend, what will work with your hair type, and how to achieve the look you want is what really makes her an invaluable asset on such an important day. She really knows how to make you feel beautiful and confident. I would recommend her to anyone!
If Courtney is available on your wedding day, book her ASAP! You will not be disappointed. I was so nervous about my wedding day look mostly because I have fine and thin hair that ...
doesn't look good up or down. But after Courtney got her hands on it, with the help of tasteful and classy extensions, she was responsible for the best hair-day of my life. I still refer to my wedding day as my "Courtney hair day." I've never felt more beautiful! Courtney is the best in the business. Her confidence and of course incredible talent not only ensures you get the look you want, but also puts you at ease the minute you sit down.
There are so many important and stressful decisions to make when it comes to your wedding, but Courtney shouldn't be one of them. The only stressful thing about this decision is how fast you can call to make sure she's available.
Courtney was the most amazing person to have by my side on my wedding day. She was sweet calm and so talented!!! She made my family and bridesmaids feel comfortable and beautiful....
Would definitely recommend her to anyone as my go-to!
My hair has never looked better than when I worked with Courtney! She's definitely a miracle worker when it comes to hair and I couldn't have felt happier or more confident about h...
ow I looked on my wedding day. Courtney styled my hair on-location, along with my two bridesmaids and 4-year-old flower girl. She arrived with plenty of time to set up and keep us all on schedule, she works quickly, and is just a pleasure to be around. She created modern, effortless-looking down and half-up hair styles for us that coordinated beautifully together, and even more importantly, lasted throughout the whole day and night, which is no small feat given that my hair is so straight and fine! I've never been able to get it to hold any type of style for hours on end, and I've also never been very satisfied with any look I've had for an event. With Courtney it was all different. I was concerned about how my hair would hold up throughout our outdoor photo session at a park before the ceremony. But not only did my hair still look amazing during the ceremony, the look even held up on the dance floor at the end of the night. I strongly believe you'd be hard-pressed to find someone with better experience or more talent than Courtney Benedetti. We're all still talking about how great we looked and felt that day - she was the perfect choice. If you have the opportunity to work with Courtney, you definitely won't regret it!
Courtney was referred to me by my makeup artist Deanna Imerti. She did an amazing job on my hair and my bridesmaids hair on my wedding day. I had an updo, with just a simple bun bu...
t I also had a complicated headpiece. Courtney was able to piece everything together to give me the perfect style. She also worked to create matching half up/half down hair styles for my bridesmaids, one of which was wearing a wig because of chemo. Courtney wasn't phased by this as she works with wigs frequently.
She arrived at my hotel on time and did a wonderful job getting all of us done in coordination with MU....so I'll certainly be recommending her!
Courtney does phenomenal hair. She gave me a thick, smooth braid crown that stayed in place all night and didn't frizz in the misty rain. Even when I was running late, Courtney was...
efficient and excellent, making up for lost time and delivering gorgeous results. She's professional, friendly and a rare talent. You can't do better than her.
