I first met Joseph, aka Joey, in 2015 and from that day, he has been my go-to for all my hair needs. Therefore, when it came time for my wedding, the decision was simple... Joey had to do my hair, as well as my bridal party’s hair, no ifs ands or buts. 😊
I am a girl who loves to play with her hair and try new things, so from the moment I got engaged, I started to think about how I wanted to wear my hair on the biggest day of my life and all I knew for certain was that my bridal hair had to be big and over the top, but with class and elegance. With Joey, I knew I was in good hands! I looked to the internet for inspiration, showed Joey some pictures of what I liked, and the next few weeks consisted of many phone calls, texts, visits… Joey is more than a hairstylist, he is a friend and a therapist, which are all the things you need during the stressful wedding planning process.
I have medium/long fine hair and to achieve the look I was going for, not only did I have to go blonde, but I also needed more hair. Joey suggested balayage and tape-in extensions and although I was hesitant to do the extensions at first, I went ahead with them and I am so happy I did! After the color transformation and installing the extensions, I had my trial and Joey delivered once again. Not only did he do exactly what I showed him, but he suggested doing a second look, something I would have never thought of myself! For the second look, we knew we wanted to show off my long blonde hair, but I knew that I did not want my hair completely down, so I left it up to Joey. I knew he would not disappoint!
Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Joey came to the hotel where I was staying and did my hair along with 7 other girls in the bridal party, including my mom, mother-in-law, and flower girl. He was so professional and just a fresh breath of air to have around. Each girl wanted a slightly different updo and Joey delivered every single time! They all looked stunning!!! For my pictures and ceremony, Joey did the braided low bun updo that I wanted and nailed it! I could not have asked for anything else but wait, it got better… Joey drove to the venue (even transported my veil to make sure it stayed flawless in the process) and stuck around for hours while we did our reveal, professional photos, and ceremony. He even broke out the curling iron to fix a curl during pictures. Talk about perfection!!! Once the ceremony was over and my guests were enjoying cocktail hour, I snuck back to my bridal suite and Joey did my second look which consisted of taking some of the bun out and leaving long curls hanging down. This style completely blew my mind and I felt like a real-life Barbie doll. At this moment, I realized that Joey listened and paid attention to every little detail discussed over the past weeks and turned my bridal hair dreams into reality. I am convinced he works magic and I am so very grateful to have had him by my side on the biggest day of my life, the stressful weeks leading up to it, and I look forward to all my future visits in his chair.
I recommend him to anyone and everyone, but especially to brides looking for that something extra. He will not disappoint. Joseph Anthony’s services are certainly luxury and luxury sure does speak for itself.
