Working with Samantha for my July 2023 wedding was such a pleasure and was one of the best decisions made during the wedding planning process. She is not only extremely talented and professional but just lovely to be around! I was so happy with my wedding hair – as were all of my bridesmaids. Samantha and her team made it seem so effortless and the day went by without a hitch! I felt beautiful and most importantly so comfortable and able to enjoy the fun and excitement of the day!
Samantha and Styled for Elegance were the perfect choice for hairstyling for my wedding! She was incredibly communicative during the booking process and patiently answered all my questions. She was super flexible when booking the trial and it really felt like a collaborative process to get the hair look just right! I left the trial feeling confident that the style would look great on the wedding day. When it arrived, she delivered again! She arrived to the venue on time, stayed on schedule, and my and the bridesmaids hair all looked great! It stayed put all night, even through many ventures out into the wind and a LOT of dancing. 1000/10 recommend Samantha for wedding or special event hairstyling!
I always love working with Samantha. She is an angel of a person and always does such an incredible job. My hair held all day so well and I got so many compliments!!
Sam was incredible to work with throughout the whole wedding process. From initial booking to the wedding day, she was available for questions, ideas, and planning the ‘day of’ hair schedule. Her warm and compassionate personality combined with her excellent organizational skills allow you to feel at ease knowing that you’ve chosen a very talented, trustworthy hair expert. She communicates with thoughtfulness and care in all her client interactions. Despite having 10 bridesmaids, my mother, my mother in-law, and myself to coordinate, Sam went above and beyond for all our wedding day hair needs- all while remaining calm and relaxed. She is incredibly attentive to detail and helped make my ‘getting ready’ experience perfect in every way! Don’t be surprised if you instantly want to be friends once you experience her warmhearted nature and uplifting energy.
Samantha is just the BEST! She is the sweetest person ever, and did my hair for my engagement shoot and my wedding. For my wedding hair trial, she was able to look at all my inspo photos and get my wedding hair perfect on the first try! She even recommended hair pieces (style and size)--I was able to order pieces on Amazon that worked PERFECTLY on my big day. And all of my bridesmaids were absolutely thrilled with their hair on my wedding day. Samantha took a photo from each of them and nailed the hair style. If you want someone who is incredibly talented, quick to respond, and the sweetest person to work with, Samantha is your girl!
Samantha was outstanding! I was so nervous about my hair since I have never liked it when I've gotten it done in the past, and she knocked it out of the park. She gave me the perfect low, loose updo I was hoping for, and she was so sweet to work with! Highly recommend!!
Samantha did an incredible job making everyone look and feel beautiful for my wedding!
Samantha is a dream to work with and extremely good at what she does! We did two different styles during my trial and I ended up going with something totally different the day of (lol) and she pivoted seamlessly and I was obsessed with my hair which lasted all night and looked amazing for pics. She also did my flower girl's hair last minute which was so nice. Highly recommend!!
Samantha was absolutely wonderful to work with! Not only is she kind and beautiful inside and out, but she also strives to make sure her client is pleased and makes their hair dreams come true! She is so easy to work with, flexible, communicative, and professional. I adore her and cannot wait to have another opportunity to work with her again!
I had such an amazing experience with Samantha, I could not recommend her more! I had some inspiration photos but not a concrete picture of what I wanted for my wedding hair, and during my trial Samantha did a great job working with me, asking questions, and showing me different options for my hair that really facilitated my decision making on what I wanted.
On the day of the wedding itself, I had a large crew getting their hair done (me, seven bridesmaids, and three moms), and Samantha and the second stylist she brought that day, Laura, were incredible. We had a range of styles and a range of people knowing and not knowing what they wanted their hair to look like, and Samantha and Laura worked with everyone individually to create a style they were happy with and did so in a really efficient manner (we actually finished way ahead of schedule, leaving extra down time for everyone). Really, Samantha's professionalism and ability to create any look blew me away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for bridal or special event hair styling!
Samantha is truly the BEST!!!!! She is so, so sweet and listens to exactly what you want! She not only did my wedding hair but also styled for our engagement photo session. I can't recommend her enough!!!!! All of my bridesmaids kept noting how seamless and easy the morning of the wedding was all thank you to Samantha and her team. THANK YOU SAMANTHA!!! <3
Samantha was an absolute dream. Besides being the consummate professional she was warm and kind and a joy to work with. She listened to my vision, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure that my hair worked with my dress, my lifestyle, weather - you name it.
On the day of she was game and ready to go with a very early start, finished early, and made sure I was ready to go. The actual hair style did not budge and looked perfect all night. Thank you so much Sam!
