Emily was recommended to me by one of her colleagues, and let me tell you...she is amazing! For my wedding, I wanted a side-swept style that looked natural and felt like something I would wear (but that also felt very "bridal"). She knocked it ...
out of the park! Emily created a style with a gorgeous braid that kept everything in place, but that had free curls to frame my face. The overall effect was very romantic, and stayed in place the whole evening (despite HOURS of dancing). My four bridesmaids wore their hair down with one side pinned back. Each had very different hair textures, but by the time Emily was done, the group looked very unified. Emily gave me a great haircut prior to the wedding that fixed several issues I had with a prior haircut from a different stylist. She knows what she's doing. In fact, she has taught at the Cosmetology school in town! Now for the best part... Emily had an unforeseen conflict come up the day of my wedding. We agreed that she would arrive early on the day to create all the styles, but then she had to leave. However, she rushed across town to come back and re-set everyone's hair that afternoon prior to the ceremony and pictures. Emily REALLY cares about her clients, and it shows. She moved heaven and earth to be there for me on the day, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone. She's fun to work with, listens to what you want, and the whole wedding hair process was very collaborative and stress-free. Her prices are very reasonable for the excellent quality of the work she creates. I hope you'll reach out to her!

Owner
My name is Emily Pattengale and I am the owner of Meraki Hair Styling. I have invested several years in the hair styling industry, performing hairstyles and teaching the next generation of Hair Stylists. I have learned over the years that there should be a special moment that happens before the “I do”, yet this is often skipped over. A moment when the atmosphere around you slows and you feel the love of those around you working to make you look and feel stunning. That moment is why I do what I do, and I can feel it happen as I enhance your hair to draw out the natural beauty of you.
