Makayla was amazing to work with for my wedding! I had a really specific idea in mind for my hair, and it was not super easy to achieve. Makayla was totally committed to helping me...
get the style exactly how I wanted, and on the day of the wedding it was perfect--I felt so gorgeous and it was exactly how I had envisioned it. My wedding was in mid-June and it was HOT. My hair held up pretty much the whole night and looked gorgeous the whole time. She's also just so pleasant to talk to and work with, always on time and great at communicating. If I could do my wedding over again, I'd hire Makayla in a heartbeat!!

Along with being incredibly talented, she was responsive to my questions, easy to communicate with, and was genuinely kind and supportive the whole day. She helped create the image I have always imagined. After a long night of dancing, my hair still looked perfect and held all the curls.
