I wanted to also mention- forgot to put it in my first review.. Mandi did an amazing job on my mother and bridesmaids! Their hair stayed in all day and they all
felt beautiful!
I cannot praise Mandy enough for her amazing talent. Her and her assistant made my wedding morning run smoothly. She helped me start my day off calm and relaxed because of her fun and positive attitude. My hair turned out perfect and stayed that way all night. I was concerned of my tiara staying on and thanks to her it sure did. So happy to have had her for my wedding day!
Cannot recommend Once Upon a Stylist enough!!! I first found out about them at my sister wedding in 2020 where they were her hair stylists!! I knew I had to have them as mine in my big day too!! And I’m so glad I did! I ended up fully changing my hair from what I wanted from my trial and Mandi delivered!! Not to mention all of my bridesmaids and flower girls could stop talking about how obsessed they were with their hair styles!! They made the getting ready process so fun and stress free!!
Mandi is the best! I showed her a photo of what I wanted for wedding hair and she did it. I got so many compliments. All of my bridesmaids loved their hairstyles too. Mandi is quick but very attentive to detail. Communicating with her leading up to the wedding was a breeze. Highly recommend! ❤️
It was definitely hard planning the wedding from so far away (I live in DC, but got married in Gainesville, FL), but Mandi was great to work with throughout the process!
The hair trial, for me, was essential. I have baby fine, straight hair that I feel can be difficult to work with because it just wants to go back to being straight and flat. Mandi was so welcoming and flexible - she really put me at ease. In the trial, she tried multiple looks for me and my mom. I was pretty set on the up-do from the beginning, but my mom was on the fence, so seeing the other options - which are a little more like what she is used to seeing me do with my hair - was tremendously helpful and brought her around to my way of thinking!
I really appreciate that Mandi took my vague idea and made me look truly stunning! I basically showed her a picture of something I saw online, which she ran with and improved upon. I told my (now) wife that she’s going to have to learn how to braid my hair like that because it looked AMAZING and I want to do my hair like that next time I have a fancy event to attend. I feel like I looked older (in a good, sophisticated way), and it was a relief to not have to worry about my hair falling in my face, or blowing around.
Mandi and her assistant absolutely exceeded my expectations! My hair and my bridesmaids hair looked exactly like the Pinterest boards we swoon over! My hair did not move all night either! She is very punctual and listens to what you like! I promise you will not be dissatisfied with her work!
I hired Mandi to do my hair for my wedding, and it was one of the best decisions I made! I actually discovered Mandi at a bridal expo. I feel very lucky that I did! She was very professional and worked with me to help plan a time for our hair trial. As soon as the trial was over, I paid her in full knowing that I needed her to be the one to do my wedding hair! Not only did she answers all of my questions and concerns along the way.. she also offered her own opinions and expert advice until I was completely satisfied. I've never received so many compliments on my hair! She also did 7 of my bridesmaids hair and finished with time to spare. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. She was able to tweak everyone's style a little to make sure it fit with their face shape and their hair length. While we were putting my hair up I told her it was hers to make how she wanted, and we ended up cutting a few of the pieces in front of my face to make it lay better. That is serious customer service. Hire her, she is worth every penny!
If you want your hair to look like you belong in Bride Magazine, please book Mandi! She is so incredible, and made all of my bridesmaids look like models too! Intricate or simple, this girl can seriously do it all and has such a creative vision to make everyone different, yet cohesive. So sweet, so accommodating! 10 stars!!
Mandi is absolutely wonderful!! I did a lot of research when it came to hair and make up for my wedding and I can honestly say I couldn't have picked better. After never really liking how my hair has turned out in past weddings, I was very nervous about my wedding hair. I found Mandi online and reached out to her because every picture I saw of her work I was blown away. I ended up booking both her and Jill Stonier and in October 2016 I had my hair and make up trial. This was the first time that I met Mandi and she is just the sweetest. She made me feel very relaxed and I had a ton of fun getting to know her during my trial. I was absolutely in LOVE with my hair and it was exactly what I was picturing when I thought of my wedding hair with my veil. I got married on December 18, 2016 and when the morning of my wedding came I was very excited for them both to arrive at my hotel. The entire morning was so relaxing and my bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our experience with Mandi. My hair turned out perfectly and it stayed in all night which usually never happens with my hair either!!! I could go on and on about how much I recommend Mandi because she was just a joy to work with and is so beyond talented.
Thank you a million times for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day <3
Mandi is absolutely AMAZING!!! I've never been so impressed with someone's talent with hair/hairstyling!! I think a lot of people are concerned with a perfect make up artist, perfect attire, bouquet etc.. And while they ARE important parts of the wedding and your photos- before the my wedding I really did put my hairstylist at the "middle" of the list.. But, my HAIR LITERALLY MADE my 10k dress, my make up (I went through 4 trials until I was happy with that part!) ... When my hair was done with my make up and dress - that MADE the look! And I LOVED how amazing and talented Mandi was! We even had some 'issues' at the end of choosing my vendors and this somewhat affected Mandi. But she was nothing but professional and made me very comfortable! I can not recommend her enough!
Mandi is one of a kind when it comes to doing hair. When I saw her for the first time about doing my wedding day hairstyle I didn’t go in knowing exactly what I wanted, only what I DIDN’T want/like. We worked together and came up with a stunning hairstyle that was perfect and better than what I could have imagined. I had to put my dress on over my head, I literally danced ALL night long at our reception, had a veil fastened into my hairstyle and removed, and I NEVER had to respray hairspray, fix any bobbypins that were coming out, or repin loose curls. She did just a good a job on my three bridesmaids. Their hair stayed perfect all night long through dancing all night too! I wish I lived in the area because I would go to Mandi for all things hair related for SURE. She is also so sweet and easy to talk to when she’s working her magic on you. I know it can be scary choosing someone to do your hair on your wedding day, but you can’t go wrong with Mandi. She will collaborate with you so you get the EXACT look you want. You wont regret going with her!
Amanda is truly amazing! From the very first email I sent her, till the moment she left our venue the day of the wedding- she was incredible! She has very prompt correspondence and is very upfront with you regarding any questions or concerns you may have. She is WELL worth the money, because you absolutely get what you pay for! My hair looked so amazing and held all through the night. I got so many compliments, as did my wedding party & Mother. She is very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does and I wouldn't have trusted any other person with such an important task! If you are looking for a stress-free day and a FABULOUS look for your wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend Amanda & her team! Avoid the tears & future horror stories of disappointed Brides and BOOK HER! You will not regret it! THANK YOU AMANDA FOR MAKING US LOOK & FEEL BEAUTIFUL! WE WILL ENJOY THESE MEMORIES & PICTURES FOR YEARS TO COME! XOXO
Mandi is great to work with!
She knew exactly what I wanted, even though I couldn't quite describe it. After the trial, I wanted to change a couple of things and again she was able to do what I wanted, even though I wasn't the best at verbalizing.
She is also amazingly fast and everything turns out so well! It's insane. We were ready and had extra time - which was great and allowed my to have some chill/down time before the ceremony.
She is also very calm, which is quite helpful.
