Kristen was so much more than a hairstylist on our May 2 wedding at The Asbury Hotel - she was a reliable, uplifting, integral part of the day. Kristen and Ashley handled hair for me, my mom, mother-in-law, 3 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls with care and ease, keeping us relaxed while making us all look and feel beautiful. They nailed everyone’s requests and our styles stayed all day long. I had a great trial months before my wedding, and she recreated the style perfectly despite my hair growing a little longer in that time. I’m I opted to have Kristen stay for extended hair touch ups through photos, ceremony, and midway through cocktail hour for a final touch up. She made sure my style stayed immaculate all day long, while also offering her support and positive energy to all the girls. Kristen even drew from her runway experience to help my mom with her dress and to help me secure my shoes, going above and beyond any expectations - and doing it all with kindness and grace. I highly recommend Kristen to be a part of any bride’s day

Kristen was absolutely amazing! Everyone's hair looked perfect and stayed all day. She was very easy to work with and flexible, helping to find the best look for my mom who had a hard time deciding what would look best for her, and the mother of the groom who has never had her hair professionally styled before and didn't know what to ask for or expect. During my hair trial, she helped me make a key decision for where to position my veil with a taller updo. Her advice was definitely the right call and looked dramatic in the best way. Kristen has an incredible talent for updos and intricate styles which is what drew me to her in the first place, but even my bridesmaids who had their hair styled down or half-up-half-down looked incredible. She was able to style my brother's hair and re-cut and style the groom's as well after a less-than-amazing haircut from a barber. She was a lifesaver on so many fronts! Thank you Kristen! :)

I hired Wanderlust Wedding Co for my wedding on 11/11/23. It was me (bride) and 4 others that got their hair done. Meghan B was incredible to work with. She showed up right on time...

, with such a warm, welcoming, and fun energy for the day. She was so much fun to be around and did an INCREDIBLE job. I've had my hair done professionally by others before and by the end of the day my curls have fallen and become flat. My hair lasted from the morning through our 2 am after party and looked FLAWLESS the entire day. Thank you for sharing your magic with me, Meghan! I felt so beautiful all day and my hair stayed in place through all the dancing, hugging, laughing, and happy tears.

Kristen did the most AMAZING job on my natural curls for our wedding in September 2021. I am very particular with who touches my hair and how I wanted it styled with a flower crown...

in place. I wanted it to look as natural as possible, but still hold up the style for the entire night and party. She perfected all my curls and made my hair look like a goddess’. I got so many compliments on my curls and they looked so good in all our photos and video. Kristen was so easy to work with throughout the entire process and such a gem to get ready with the day of! Definitely hire her as your go to hair stylist for your big day. You won’t regret it!!

Kristen and her team from Wanderlust Wedding Co. are absolutely amazing. They were prompt and ready to go at a moment's notice. Kristen coordinated with the bride the time schedu...

le for their arrival as well as appointment times for each girl in order to make the process run more smoothly. Everyone watched as Kristen was preparing the brides hair and makeup for her big day. The end result was that the bride looked stunning. Her hair and makeup went perfectly with her wedding ensemble. The team was extremely patient with the girls as they prepared their hair and make up making sure that each and every one of them were happy before moving on to the next client. We all know how fussy girls can be sometimes but they made sure they were very satisfied with their look before leaving their seat. When it came time to the mother's they took a little extra time as it was their big day too. We were both were very pleased and I for one as mother of the bride haven't felt that beautiful since I was married some 42 years ago. Thank you to Kristen and her Wanderlust Team for an amazing and beautiful experience on my daughter's special day.

Kristen made my visions come true with my hair for my wedding. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to wear my hair up or down so she gave me the idea to switch it from down to up midday...

and I am so happy to have both looks! My hair stayed perfect even with it being 95 degrees and humid. She also did an amazing job with my mom and bridal party. I highly recommend you book Kristen for your wedding or any important event you are having! She will exceed your expectations and she is the sweetest person ever!
