nd knew I wanted her for my wedding day! From the beginning, she was responsive and professional. I was between two hairstyles for my wedding, so she happily did both for me at my trial. She was so great on wedding day - she knows what she's doing!! Everyone's hair looked amazing and she stayed on schedule. It was so nice to not stress about timing the morning of the wedding. Kaedi is great - book her!

i style my hair for my bridal shower and my wedding. For my shower, my hair (notorious for not holding a curl) held curls all night. For my wedding, we pivoted from my trial hair to something that was more me, and Kaedi did not disappoint! She can work with anyone and do anything you ask. I hope I get to have her style me again. Thanks!

chose, Kaedi absolutely delivered on my wedding day! My hair is on the thinner side, and instead of purchasing extensions I would never use again, I was able to utilize Kaedi's rental program and simply just rent extensions for the day. Such a genius ideas! I can be incredibly picky when it comes to my hair and I literally couldn't have asked for anything better than Kaedi's final product. And don't even get me started on the wedding party's hair—everyone looked absolutely flawless! From start to finish, Kaedi was so kind and helpful in figuring everything out with me and I could not be more grateful. I'm already looking forward to the next event I attend so I can book another appointment with her!

ined. What is so great about Kaedi is her easy going, energetic attitude. I had 6 bridesmaids with different lengths and textures to their hair and Kaedi handled it all with ease. Everyone had a different yet cohesive style and it was all so beautiful.
