Caralee is an absolute dream to work with! I have been obsessed with her work long before I was engaged and she was one of the first vendors I booked. Not only did I love my hair but so did the entire bridal party. My youngest sister voiced concerns about curls not staying since her hair doesn’t hold well. At the end of the night her hair was still perfect. I truly felt so beautiful and am so thankful for how kind caralee was and professional. She also brought a second stylist to help her. Also so kind and did amazing hairstyles for my party! I’m kind of quiet as well and Caralee is so easy to talk to and I never felt awkward during any conversation. I also used her recommended make up artists to find Trista Noe. Together they created a perfect bridal look for me. I could not be happier!
Caralee is truly a dream come true! She completely brought my vision for my bridal hair to life, and I couldn’t have been happier. Her talent is unmatched, and both she and her assistant were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and fun to work with. They styled hair for all 7 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law, all in a timely manner and with flawless results. What truly sets Caralee apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She really listens to what you want and makes sure you absolutely love your hair. My bridal hairstyle was PERFECT. I’ve never received so many compliments in my life! And every single person in my bridal party adored their hair as well. If you want stunning wedding day hair and a stress-free, enjoyable experience, Caralee is the one to call. I would recommend her over anyone else in the industry. She’s simply the best!
Caralee is in my opinion the best wedding hairstylist in the Dayton area. She is professional, on time and so friendly. I have known her and been lucky enough to call her my friend for a long time so it wasn’t a question that I hire her for my wedding hair. I felt so beautiful. Knowing how she runs her business and how her talent has always exceeded my expectations, I knew that hiring her meant my hair was one less thing I would have to worry about on my big day. Thank you caralee for everything you do! I will forever be grateful for you.
no, I only did. She make me look 20 years younger On my daughter‘s wedding day. But she was pleasant kind and funny. All the things you need on a wedding day. I couldn’t ask for anyone better.❤️ She made My daughter looked like a beautiful princess. The absolute best.
Caralee is absolutely the best! She has done my hair for a couple other weddings so when it came to my own I knew she was a must. Her professionalism and attention to details makes her one of a kind and I would recommend her to any bride. Definitely helped my wedding day run smoothly and beautifully!
Caralee was so great to work with! She took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered and she was so detail oriented at my trial to ensure I was getting the exact look I’d envisioned for my wedding day! She had great communication and made the process easy and stress free! She helped with a schedule that would fit our day of timeline and she made all of my bridesmaids and me feel so beautiful on the big day! I will always recommend Sweetly Pinned to any future brides looking for a hairstylist <3
Caralee is the best special event stylist in the Dayton area. She truly understood my vision and transformed it into reality, creating a look that was not only stunning but also flawless and made to last for the entire day. She truly has magic hands and her attention to detail is unmatched. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic, modern, or romantic style, she will exceed your expectations. I can’t recommend her enough for any bride looking to feel beautiful, confident, and completely herself on her special day!
I am a makeup artist and have worked weddings with Caralee numerous times over many years. Her work is always beautiful! She takes the time to really listen to each client and bride and will never let you leave her chair unless you love your hair. She is patient, professional, and friendly. I always recommend her to my brides!
Cara was completely transparent in my booking process. She answered all of my a million emails back and forth in adequate timing and I felt that she was super informal! Plus my booking process was seamless & smooth!! 🙌🏼🤩😊
Does amazing, Pinterest worthy hair!!
Caralee is a wedding hair genius, and she is the sweetest soul you'll ever meet! I loved her from the first time I met her, and her work is just incredible. You will NOT be disappointed, and you'll feel like a celebrity with how many compliments you'll receive. Truly amazing!
My wedding hair was simply gorgeous thanks to Caralee. Like drop dead gorgeous. I got so many compliments throughout the entire night. Her team was also amazing! My bridesmaids all loved their hair! Caralee was always so nice and put in 100% on my wedding day. 10/10 recommend her and her team!
Caralee and her team were amazing! I had such a great time with her both at my trial and on the wedding day. My hair looked amazing and lasted all day! All of my bridesmaids got their hair done as well and all of the styles turned out so great and unique to each girl and their hair type!
Caralee and her team are fantastic! I have had the pleasure of working with her on a couple occasions and my experience was absolutely wonderful both times! They are extremely professional and so talented! I had an idea of how I wanted my hair to look and they nailed it! I would definitely recommend Caralee and Sweetly Pinned Hair to anyone.
I hired Caralee for my wedding on 06/18/22. It was easily one of the best choices I made for my day. She was So efficient and stayed right on time with my day of schedule and she was so personable. Every person who had their hair done by Caralee and her assistant raved about how kind and funny they were! My hair and all of my bridesmaids’/mothers hair looked incredible and stayed ALL NIGHT (12+ hours.) I absolutely recommend Caralee!!
I am so happy I hired Caralee for my wedding day. I absolutely loved my hair and got so many compliments. Caralee is not only professional and on time but funny as well! Could not recommend her enough.
Caralee and her team are the BEST! Not only was I so happy with how my wedding day hair came together, all of my bridesmaids were so obsessed with how theirs turned out too. I was shocked with how Caralee was able to create such a beautiful and full updo for me despite my hair only being shoulder length at the time. My hair held up all day despite taking my veil on and off as well as pictures and so much dancing. Not only is Caralee great at what she does she was also so fun and easy to talk to that you forget you are sitting in a chair for awhile getting your hair done! She listened to what my vision was for the wedding day and made me feel so beautiful. She is a must have for your wedding day!
If you want the best for your wedding day then stop looking now and just book! Caralee is amazing!! She is truly the best and a skilled artist, she is so kind and bubbly also she made me feel so relaxed and beautiful on my wedding day! In hindsight if she was not available I think I would have moved my date 😂 that’s how amazing she is! All of my bridesmaids and my MIL said that it was the best their hair had ever looked too! Thank you a million!
Cara Lee and Madison did an amazing job making my bridesmaids and I all look and feel beautiful!! I even forgot to put my veil on before the ceremony (oops!) but got SO many compliments on my hair afterward because everyone got to really see it! They do amazing work and are truly the sweetest!
Caralee and her team are so incredibly sweet and crazy talented! As a 2020 bride I had many changes to my original plan. Caralee went above and beyond to accommodate not one, but two wedding dates and executed my wedding hair to perfection on both occasions! Her makeup team was equally as wonderful. Sarah was not the original artist who did my trial makeup, but she blew it out of the water. I’ve never felt more beautiful and natural at the same time. Both Caralee and Sarah were also so fun and kind. I could not have asked for a better experience and I’m so grateful I had this team by my side for both my ceremony and reception! If you’re in the Cincinnati/Dayton area you want Sweetly Pinned on your vendor team! Thanks a million, Caralee!
Loved having Sweetly Pinned be apart of our wedding day! They were flawless in their scheduling, trial run and day of services! Planning a wedding during COVID was a challenge and when my hair salon backed out, Sweetly Pinned was able to add hair services for us in a pinch. Chelsie and Taylor did such a great job and made everyone feel so comfortable and glamorous!
Seriously the best decision you can make on wedding day (other than marrying the love of your life!) is choosing Caralee and The Sweetly Pinned team for your hair and makeup. Oh my goodness, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day! From the start, Caralee was extremely professional and was even able to help coordinate with my new date because of Covid. This was one vendor I refused to lose when rescheduling! Caralee, Chelsea, and Emily are all incredible artists who are passionate about what they do and their work reflects that! They were organized, easy to work with and made the day feel very relaxed and fun! The entire bridal party looked stunning and everyone’s makeup and hair was flawless all day! I would highly recommend Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup to any bride! Thank you Caralee, Chelsie and Emily for making my day absolutely perfect!
I was so glad I chose to go with Sweetly Pinned for myself and bridal party's hair services! I did my trial with Elya the morning of my bridal shower and had SO many compliments on how fantastic my updo looked. On the wedding day, myself and all of my bridesmaids and the moms looked great in their chosen styles. They worked quickly and we were actually ahead of our schedule which makes for the start of a stress free day. The styles stayed put all evening and we were all very happy!
I had Caralee and Chelsie for my wedding day hair/make-up team and I was so happy with my decision! They made me feel so comfortable during my trial and they were so fun to be around when getting ready the morning of my wedding with my bridal party and mothers. All of us are fair skinned and we were really worried about finding someone who could make us look natural and they did just this! They enhanced our natural beauty and truly listened to what we wanted. Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup was worth every penny. I love how confident and beautiful they made me feel for my wedding day. Thank you, Caralee and Chelsie! HIRE THEM!
Caralee and Trista are so wonderful! My hair and makeup was perfect for my wedding and my bridesmaids all looked beautiful. I wasn’t sure what hairstyle I wanted during my trial but Caralee was great in helping me decide. She spent time fixing multiple styles for me and even sent me pictures of what she thought would look good.
Trista did amazing with our makeup! She listened to what I wanted and did exactly that on the wedding. I appreciated her recommendations and am glad I got the lipstick she recommended and added eyelashes. The makeup stayed perfectly the whole day and all of the girls looked beautiful.
Besides being so talented they were also a pleasure to work with. Their bubbly personalities made conversation easy and the whole experience even more fun! I have been in multiple weddings and really feel they are the best!
From the very beginning Caralee was very patient with me and answered all of my millions of questions. She is so kind, friendly, and easy to work with. Her team did a total of 13 updos for my wedding and every single last person looked PERFECT. If you want your dream hair for you wedding, you really have to go with Sweetly Pinned. No one else can provide the service and quality that Caralee and her team provide.
I cannot say enough good things about Sweetly Pinned. Caralee was so easy to work with. My bridal hair and makeup was above and beyond my expectations. My bridesmaids could not stop talking about how happy they were with how everything turned out. Would recommend to anyone!
Caralee and Emily did hair and makeup for my wedding in June and I cannot say enough good things about them! Not only did they make me and my bridesmaids feel the most beautiful, but they are so sweet and easy to talk to! I ended up tweaking the way I wanted my hair on my wedding day, which was a little different from my trial, and Caralee nailed it! All of my bridesmaids raves about how much they loved everything as well. I would recommend Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup to anyone who is getting married! Thanks again girls!!!! #FULLGLAM
Caralee and her team not only created exactly what I was hoping for and had dreamt of for my wedding day, they also did my bridesmaids and MOB and MOG and everyone loved their hair and makeup! They are not only very professional but also personable, genuine, fun people to be around. Especially on your wedding day. I would say that they are able to create and execute difficult and original styles with expertise that many competitors may not be able to meet. Definitely worth every penny!
Caralee and Emily are the best!! Caralee’s hairstyles are unique and gorgeous and Emily always makes you look and feel beautiful and confident. They are not only great at their job but enjoyable to be around which is always a plus for your wedding day!! Love Sweetly Pinned!
These girls are amazing! Caralee has put together a great team, and she is the sweetest person that has ever done my hair. I was so indecisive when it came to what I wanted. It started out a blow out and ended up with my natural curls with some refining-she nailed it! I had A LOT of bridesmaids get hair and make up done and no one had a bad experience. The team was personable, understanding, patient, and bomb at what they do! They truly wanted us to look and feel amazing and we did thanks to them!
I cannot say enough great things about Caralee! I originally found her work on Instagram and then looked her up on the knot and other websites only to find rave reviews about her and her work. I had a very specific vision for my bridal look and Caralee did not disappoint! Everything from the trial to the day of was wonderful. She is always very responsive and is a great communicator. She helped me develop the best timeline to get all the girls hair done in a timely manner on the wedding day. She is also just a very fun and down to earth woman, conversations felt like we had been friends forever. Caralee is beyond sweet and was an absolute joy to work with and her skills are impeccable! If you are reading this it means you are considering Caralee and Sweetly Pinned and you should seriously look no further! Hands down amazing vendor to work with! I was so SO happy with my wedding hair and all my girls were too.
I knew from the very beginning of wedding planning that I wanted sweetly pinned to do my hair. Caralee is so kind and easy to talk to that I knew she would be a perfect fit for me and my bridesmaids on the day of! Personally being in the wedding industry I knew how many options there were for hair stylists in the Dayton area, but I promise you’ll only find one as good as Caralee ;) I am so thankful for her and her magic hair skills!!
From the beginning, sweetly pinned has been AMAZING! Marci and Emily were simply amazing on my wedding day and made us girls look flawless! We had such a good time with them and can’t thank them enough!!
Caralee is wonderful!!! Very easy to talk to and listens to what you want! She is the best...so glad I had her as a part of my wedding day team! Definitely would recommend...zero complaints!!
If you're looking for an amazing hair stylist for your wedding, look no further! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs their hair done for engagement pictures, weddings, or any event. I booked Sweetly Pinned Hair & Makeup for my wedding on November 3, 2018 and I was OBSESSED with my hair for my wedding! I got so many compliments on it & it stayed through the whole night! I had 4 bridesmaids also get their hair done & mother of the bride and everyone loved their hair. I couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist for my wedding day! The wedding was in Columbus but the travel was definitely worth it. Not to mention, the owner Caralee is one of the nicest people! She was so accommodating throughout the whole process with me being from out of state when I originally booked her. Thank you for everything!!!
Oh where to begin??? As the MOB, you pray that the day of your daughters wedding will be filled with love, laughter and vendors who bring the Bride and Grooms wedding vision to life. From the first conversation with Caralee, my daughter and I knew that the Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup team had to be part of the wedding. Caralee and her team are beyond professional and truly care about their clients. The entire process was smooth and filled with wonderful memories. They truly set the tone for the entire wedding day. As the MOB I was amazed at how calm and fun everyone was. We hired a team of 4 for a large bridal party, MOB, MOG and 3 flower girls. Everyone loved their hair and makeup! The 3 little girls felt like princesses and I did too! SPHAMU even handled a last minute request for hair and makeup from my sister with such kindness. I can't begin to describe how beautiful my daughter looked on her wedding day thanks to Caralee and her wonderful team!!! They are the best hair and makeup team to work with and I can't thank them enough for alllllll that they did to ensure the entire wedding party looked and felt beautiful!

Easily one of the best decisions I made having Caralee do my hair for my wedding! She is sweet, genuine, and incredible at hair!! I wanted a braided crown and she hit the nail right on the head. I felt like a queen and I owe a lot of that to my beautiful hairdo! I don’t think I can say enough good things about this company! Highly highly highly recommend!
Caralee is the hair god that you NEED on your wedding day! She has a kick ass personality and is seriously incredible at what she does! If you’re curious who you need to hire to give you and your bridesmaids the PERFECT hair it’s Caralee. I promise you won’t regret it! Just do it :)
Sweetly Pinned Hair & Makeup is the best of the best in their field. They are so sweet & make everyone feel special while getting ready the morning of the wedding. Caralee is willing to try anything & works so efficiently to stay on time. Not to mention, she’s hilarious. I would definitely recommend Sweetly Pinned Hair & Makeup for future brides or any other special occasions.
One of the most fun, talented and beautiful human beings, anytime we get to work with Caralee is an absolute joy! She has a heart of gold that shines through her presence and brightens client and vendors alike, a bride who picks her team is sure to have an AMAZING wedding day!
The Sweetly Pinned team was so amazing to work with! They accommodated our wedding and traveled to Columbus to do our hair and makeup. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup! They worked efficiently and did such a beautiful job! I would highly recommend booking them for your big day!
Caralee with Sweetly Pinned was amazing throughout the entire wedding process. Caralee always kept in contact and was easy to get ahold of. She was easy to work with during my trial run and was helpful in making my day-of timeline for getting everyone ready.
Most importantly, the day of the wedding went so smoothly. Caralee was on time and ready to go when we started and got everybody done on time. She has a great personality and got along with everybody! All of the hairstyles looked amazing and stayed in for the entire day! With so many stylists to choose from for you wedding day, choose Sweetly Pinned!
Elya did a great job with hair for my wedding!! We did a Vietnamese tea ceremony the day before our Western style wedding, and she did an amazing job incorporating my traditional headpiece with my hair (even though she had never done it before)! I got a ton of compliments at the tea ceremony and my wedding about my hair. And the bridesmaids looked fabulous too. Elya was calm, on time, efficient, and all around great. And Caralee with Sweetly Pinned was always responsive and was willing to work with me on perfecting my look. Would highly recommend!
Where do I even begin with Caralee? Oh my goodness am I so lucky my photographer gave me her information. I saw pictures from her Instagram page and booked immediately! When I met with Caralee for my trial, she did my hair exactly how I had envisioned. She not only did a tremendous job on my trial, but she gave me pointers on product I should use to make my wedding day hair even more gorgeous. So- of course, I used the products and had way more volume!
On the day of the wedding, Caralee did my hair and my four bridesmaids' hair. We all LOVED her work and we had such a great time getting ready. She is so outgoing and funny and I absolutely loved working with her!
So thank you- Caralee for everything and I am sorry I got you sick (whoopsie!). Anyone would be LUCKY to have you do their hair on their big day- you are SO talented and I hope our paths cross again!
Elya does amazing work! She finished hair for me and 4 bridesmaids and my mom so efficiently on our wedding day and recreated our inspiration photos so perfectly. She was professional and pleasant and even gave my mom a hair trial before the day. Going with SPHMUA was a wonderful decision!
They made my bridesmaids and I look so good for the big day, . They came prepared and on time. My hair and make up stayed all day and looked perfect in photos.
The beautiful, talented, friendly, AMAZING women of Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup did my hair for both my engagement photos and my wedding day, and I was just taken aback and amazed at their work for both events! I did a ridiculous amount of research before booking hair and make up for my wedding - poured through probably hundreds of reviews, instagram accounts, and websites, before settling on Sweetly Pinned...because they were very clearly THE BEST out there! Caralee and Emily, who did my hair and make up for my wedding, are the sweetest people you will ever meet. And Monica, who did my make up for my engagement pictures is equally as wonderful and talented! They are truly invested in making sure you feel confident about your look, even if that means doing things over and re-working something. I seriously want to be friends with these women outside of the wedding world! I received (and continue to receive) so many compliments on my engagement pictures regarding my hair and make up! I've even had friends who are also getting married ask me who did my hair and make up and are they available for their own weddings. On the day of my wedding, I looked more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Every part of my look was perfection, and I owe it all to Caralee and Emily! Not only did they make me, 4 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers look drop dead gorgeous, they were also such a blast to hang out with all morning! WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING READING THIS REVIEW?? HIRE SWEETLY PINNED FOR YOUR WEDDING, NOW!
Sweetly Pinned was incredible!!! Caralee and Monica were sooooo great I can't imagine having worked with anyone else. They both were super attentive to what everyone wanted and had no problem coming up with suggestions and ideas for the girls that didn't know. Like many of the other reviewers have said, they were also very fun to be around...so it really made for good vibes in the room when we were all getting ready.
And not too mention they are both so talented! With my makeup, I wanted a natural look and Monica gave me exactly what I had in mind. And Caralee was so patient with trying different hair styles until we landed on one that I loved (would definitely recommend a trial run!). And when we found one, she replicated it perfectly on wedding day and it didn't move out of place all night!
Would definitely pick Sweetly Pinned again, so happy I found them!
Caralee was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. She is overflowing with talent and a friendly, warm personality. I have had my hair styled so many times in my life, and she is BY FAR the best I have ever worked with. She showed up on time (when the roads were snowy), happy and ready to make every single one of my girls feel unique and beautiful. All my bridesmaids had a different hair style, and Caralee was able to make every single one of them look like movie stars. As for my hair, I wanted big, vintage curls which are hard to do on my very straight hair. Somehow, with her crazy talent, Carelee gave me beautiful, voluminous curls that stayed in ALL NIGHT LONG (this has never happened for me ever). I am truly blown away and so happy when I look at my pictures. Along with my dress, my hair was one of the things I received the most compliments about throughout the night. Caralee will go above and beyond for your wedding. Not only is she insanely talented and makes you feel like a goddess, but she is so sweet and so fun to hang out with on on of the most important days of your life. I obviously highly recommend!!
