Dakota was amazing! I've never liked my hair anytime I've had an updo professionally, so trying to find someone to do my hair for my Wedding Day was very nerve wracking for me... I initially had another person booked for my big day that I did... a trial with but was just eh about (as I assumed with my past that I wouldn't LOVE anything). It kept bothering me.. and I realized that I deserved to LOVE everything about how I looked on my wedding day so I looked around more. I saw pictures of Dakota's work initially and loved how different but "current" all the styles were.. no frumpy 90's updos, buns, or spiral curls :) When I met for my trial with her, she listened to everything that scared me about updos in the past and was able to recreate a style I found and fell in love with. I was sooo happy and relieved when I left that day. On my Wedding Day, she was able to perfectly recreate it. For the first time, I truly loved my hair styled with an updo. I felt gorgeous on my Wedding Day, as every bride should, and was truly so thankful to have found Dakota. On top of that, she was very organized, timely, and just easy to be with. She is very down to earth and has a calming personality.. something every bride also needs on the big day :)
