Wendy is AMAZING. She went above and beyond for my wedding day! She was so calm during the whole getting ready process and made sure mine and my bridal party had exactly what we were looking for. She even stayed a little later to ensure my veil...
was snug and my look was complete when I walked out the door. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone and everyone!
I don’t even know where to begin. But, Wendy was phenomenal! I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and how quickly(and perfectly) she was able to do hair for all 9 of us. She even stayed after all of us were done because I really ...
wanted her to be the one to place my veil. Her service is unmatched. She acted as though she was on our time and not the other way around which is so lovely when things can easily get behind on a wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. Definitely book Wendy for your wedding day hair!
Wendy was an absolute blessing to our wedding day!!! From start to finish, she was easy to contact and beyond organized. During my trial, I was between an updo or having my hair down and she did both looks so I was able to see which one I would...
want for the wedding day. Her attention to detail and making sure I had absolutely everything I wanted was just more than I could have ever asked for. She was so kind and you could just feel she truly wanted to make sure you felt beautiful. The wedding day was so stress free the morning of, and a lot of that was thanks for the wonderful people we had to get all of us ready. She brought an assistant, Sydney, who was equally as amazing and talented! Every single girl loved their hair and felt beautiful. She made sure that they all got exactly what they wanted. She joined in on the laughter, happiness and love of the day and she truly has a beautiful heart. I can’t thank her enough for making me and all of my girls, mother and flower girls feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day!!
Any questions?
I hired Wendy to do hair for our bridesmaids, flower girls, and my mother-in-law on the morning of our wedding. Wendy was recommended to us by a family friend because of her bridal braiding techniques, and she did a beautiful job. She came to o...
ur hotel in East Liberty as we were getting ready, and she was really friendly and easy to get along with. Everyone was thrilled with the outcome. The hairstyles even lasted through a hot and humid day, as well as a full night of dancing!
Wendy did a great job on my hair, as well as my bridal party's hair. She was incredibly efficient, and stuck to the rather tight timeline we asked her to abide by. She was relaxed but also extremely competent and professional. My hair looke...

Emily A.
Wendy is absolutely IMPECCABLE! Such a kind and calming presence and an incredible listener which is so genuinely needed during the chaos of wedding planning! She’s meticulously detailed and thorough and I couldn’t recommend her more!
I couldn’t be happier that I had such a sweet and talented hair stylist for my big day. My hair is difficult to style, as I have thick, long, and naturally curly hair that is somewhat prone to frizz. With Wendy’s skill set, I had no worries at ...
all. I wore my hair in an updo and wanted slight changes from my original trial. Wendy listened to every detail and made my wedding day style exactly what I wanted. She also did an amazing job styling my bridal party with all their various requests. Wendy is very personable and professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride looking to feel beautiful, happy, and confident on their wedding day!

Wendy is amazing and you will not regret booking her! She is so communicative on everything from pricing, to scheduling trials, to scheduling the big day. I had 10 people getting their hair done and not only did she get everyone done herself, e...
veryone’s hair looked absolutely fantastic! I had one bridesmaid sleep in her updo and wear it to a baby shower the next day - that’s how well it stayed put and how much she loved it. She did a variety of different styles on a variety of different hair types and lengths. Everyone loved their hair including me!
Wendy is a wonderful person and a talented hair dresser. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is looking for a hair dresser for any event!

Wendy did my hair in 2018 when I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. I loved her style so much that I booked her for my own wedding this year, and I am so happy that I did! She styled my hair and my bridesmaids’ hair, and everything turn...
ed out perfect. I was able to do a trial with her in advance, and both during the trial and wedding day she was professional and friendly. Wendy even helped me work through my first experience with hair extensions! I am so pleased with how gorgeous my hair and my bridesmaids’ hair turned out for my wedding, and I would definitely recommend Wendy!
After planning and re-planning my COVID wedding, I was left in Pittsburgh with no hair stylist for my big day only a few months away! Then, Wendy came in and SAVED THE DAY! Wendy was absolutely amazing. From the first meet and hair trial, I kne...
w she would be perfect. Despite changes and adjustments with COVID, she was always on board and super flexible with my party's needs and wants. Wendy styled myself (the bride), my mom, and bridesmaids, and all ladies looked gorgeous that day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a traveling stylist for their wedding day.
Wendy was the best! She did beautiful and creative hairstyles on all of my bridesmaids, our mothers and myself! Our hair looked so great even through the heat and humidity and through dancing. Wendy is very thoughtful and understanding and was ...
able to work with me when we had to reschedule our original wedding due to COVID. I highly recommend Wendy for your special day, you won’t regret it! :)
Wendy did such a great job with my hair! I gave her a few pics beforehand as we didn’t have time in scheduling to do a trial run. I can’t believe how beautiful she made my hair look. It was exactly how I envisioned it to look on my wedding day....
She was creative with the styling and also very kind and professional in making sure that I did love it and that it was what I wanted. I wish I didn’t have to take it out at the end of the night!!
Thank you so much, Wendy!!
Wendy is extremely skilled and could not have been more helpful. During our practice run, she did two separate updos and photographed both so that I could consider my options. She then curled and styled my hair a third time, so I left looking f...
resh for grocery shopping lol. She is efficient, kind and a calming precense to work with on your special day. She offers helpful suggestions and input if you are unsure of what you want (like me), and she will get you to a beautiful final product. I got so many compliments on my hair. If I could go back and do it again, I would absolutely re-book Wendy for my wedding. Thank you!

Kayli I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to style your hair on your wedding day and I'm so happy that you loved it. Thank you again for sharing such kind words. I greatly appreciate it.
Wendy was the absolute best. She worked with me throughout all the pandemic changes and did it with ease and a smile behind her mask. The work she did on my hair and that of all of my bridesmaids was TO DIE FOR. If you’ve stumbled across Wendy,...
look no further. I would recommend her to anyone.
She was able to work with long hair, thin hair, super curly hair. Does very textured and beautiful work, not stuck to your head!

Wendy is an absolutely amazing hairstylist! She did the wedding hairstyles for myself, my mother, and all of my bridesmaids. Every one of our hairstyles looked incredible! She was able to style everyone’s hair exactly how they wanted, and she...
was able to do it quickly. I had an intricate headpiece that my mother had worn for her wedding. Wendy understood how much it meant to me, and went out of her way to make sure it looked beautiful in my hair. My wedding hairstyle looked gorgeous, and it did not move the entire night, even though I was dancing and jumping. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist! I was so lucky to have her as part of my wedding day.

It was such a great morning spent with your family and friends. I'm so happy you all loved your styles and that your amazing hairpiece held all night! Thank you so much for reviewing me! Happy new year
Wendy has been doing my hair for 8 years so when I got engaged there was no question who was going to be doing my hair for my wedding. Wendy is incredibly talented (a magician, really), detail oriented, and truly wants you to feel like your mos...
t beautiful self for your special day. I actually teared up at my trail! I have curly hair and a lot of it and she gave me the a beautiful smooth half up/half down style that I was obsessed with. My wedding party had a variety of lengths, textures, and thickness and everyone loved their style and we all held up through the night. Wendy also helped refer me to an amazing make-up artist (Tamie Konzier) and they worked together to be an amazing glam team. Do not do anymore searching for a hairstylist, Wendy is this best.

Wendy is so talented, sweet, and responsive. She was a joy to work with from start to finish. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated her prompt responses during the planning process. During the hair trial, she gladly tried a couple different ...
styles until we got it just right. On the day of, she offered to re-curl and spray my friend's hair that has trouble holding a curl. One of my other friends initially didn't sign up for a hairstyle but Wendy squeezed her in when she changed her mind, all with lots of time to spare! I loved my hairstyle as well. Highly recommend Wendy.
I loved my hair during my wedding all thanks to Wendy! I went with a half-up style with a headband and veil. My hair looked perfect the entire day and night. Wendy also did hair for 7 bridesmaids, my mom, my MIL, and my husband's grandma. Not o...
nly did everyone love their hair, but we all loved having Wendy with us in the morning getting ready! I would recommend Wendy as a hairstylist to any bride.
Wendy did an amazing job with everyone's hair!! She had several unique hairstyles to work with and made everyone look very elegant and polished. My hair stayed up the entire night, even the fresh flowers she added! From the first time I contact...
ed her to the day of, Wendy was really sweet and professional. She also suggested my makeup artist who ended up being fantastic as well. I would absolutely choose Wendy over and over - if I ever have another event in the Pittsburgh area again, I'm going to Wendy!
Wendy did hair for myself and my bridal party this summer and she was absolutely amazing. The group was a total of 7 people and she got our hair done so quickly, but the styles were secure and lasted all night. She created exactly what I was en...
visioning for my hair and helped pick the perfect styles for my bridal party, mom, and mother in law. Wendy was a pleasure to have in the room with us while we were getting ready and helped keep a relaxed feeling to the day. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a hairdresser! She's the best!
They need more stars for Wendy ⭐️ ⭐️ at least 2 more. She’s without a doubt the best hairstylist that you can have on your wedding day, she is AMAZING! Every guest wanted a picture with me and of my hair. It was a dream come true, I looked like...
a princess... thank you so much for making my dreams come true Wendy!
I could not be happier with my hairstyle by Wendy on my wedding day!! I’ve known Wendy for years, as she has perfected my color and styled cut in the salon, I knew I could trust her expertise on such an important day in my life...and I was so ...
impressed!! Not only did she bring all her hair products and tools, but she had additional lighting and mirrors to see every angle. She also had such a calmness in the room, and worked quickly and efficiently. She did 4 different styles for myself and my bridesmaids and we were done in no time. Not only was the experience so much fun and relaxed with her, but all of our hairstyles STAYED. Our hair looked the exact same from when she was finished working until the end of the evening. She did a flawless job and I recommend her for any special event. Thank you so much Wendy!!!
All of my bridesmaids and I absolutely loved Wendy! There are so many reasons for why I give her 5 stars, but I will just name a few: First off, everyone’s hair looked so perfect and everyone’s hair stayed put ALL night! If you want an updo tha...
t isn’t too “fussy”, Wendy is definitely your girl (although, I’m sure she can do really extravagant updos too, because she’s just that good!) She is amazing at doing braids and fishtails, super long hair and super short hair! She was quick and responsive to emails. Wendy is so sweet and made me feel at ease at both my trial and on my wedding day. She was great to work with and got along with my bridesmaids so well. Last, Wendy traveled a considerable distance for my wedding, and didn’t charge anything additional. I will be recommending Wendy to anyone looking for a hair stylist for their wedding day. Thank you so much!
Wendy is so talented, and I’m glad that she was available to style hair for my wedding. She was referred to me by my hair stylist. Wendy will travel to you, and on my wedding day, she arrived on time and brought everything that she needed. She ...
created 5 updos for myself and my bridesmaids and she curled my mom’s hair. She is a pro, so she knew how much time she needed which meant that we could stay on schedule. Everyone wanted something different, and she was able to accommodate. Not only did she make everyone look objectively beautiful, but even more importantly, she gave everyone what they wanted. She could replicate styles from photos. I didn’t book a trial session with her because she was so highly regarded. And I didn’t need it. With photos and her method of talking it through, verifying volume and placement in the mirror, plus her own creativity, my hair looked better than I imagined. I’m glad I let her do her thing. I felt absolutely beautiful and my hair and that of my bridesmaids stayed in all night. She was great. Hire her!
Wendy is an incredibly talented stylist, and I'm grateful to have known her for more than 10 years. When it comes to hair, there is no one I trust more. Wendy graciously agreed to do my hair, as well as my 5 bridesmaids, for my wedding this pas...
t September. Not only did she do a phenomenal job in making us all look and feel gorgeous, but she also helped make the entire getting-ready process calmer and even more enjoyable. I am very grateful to have had her by my side on my special day, and I highly recommend her for any hair needs - whether routine color/highlights or an updo for a wedding or special event. She simply is the best!
Wendy is an outstanding hair stylist. I had several people receiving services the day of my wedding and even without an assistant, she spent plenty of time on each person, assuring everyone looked and felt their best. She was efficient and prof...

Wendy was amazing from the trial to the end! She was accommodating and flexible when we needed to change times at the last minute and stayed until everyone was happy with their hair. I loved my messy bun and it stayed in all night.
Wendy was very easy to communicate with and was flexible with schedules. She listened to all of my ideas/ hair concerns and made me thoroughly enjoy being pampered and enjoy the process without a single concern the day of the wedding. Definitel...

Wendy is absolutely amazing! I can not say enough great things about her as a person and her hair design.
First of all, she has done my hair in 2 other weddings in which I was a bridesmaid. Each time I felt gorgeous and any hair out of place s...
he was willing to fix.
As the bride, she was perfect to work with. I did a trial at Studio Booth first. I had a photo for her and she did EXACTLY what the picture looked like. Then she kept giving me options - a more messy look, more volume, etc. On my wedding day she was on time, professional and full of smiles. Each one of my bridesmaids look gorgeous and I looked exactly how I wanted too. All of us (8 total) were done in like 3 hours.
