Taylor was absolutely amazing. All my bridesmaids said it didnt even feel like they had makeup on and it was gorgeous I had no inspiration pic and she executed what was in my mind perfectly. She was attentive and supportive, my makeup didnt move even with water and my hair didnt move even with clip in extensions in. She even did my sons hair last minute, she is absolutely amazing and im so happy I got her for my big day now you do the same.!!!

Taylor was an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day! She did my hair and my mom's and did an incredible job. She is the sweetest person and so easy to talk to. She listens ...
to what you want and will change anything if needed. My hair turned out so much better than I imagined and it lasted the entire night in 85+ degree weather at my outdoor wedding and probably would have for a few days lol! She also made sure my MOH knew how to put in/take out my veil correctly. Taylor is the best!

ease. On the big day, she arrived early, set up quickly, and made me feel so comfortable. I changed my hairstyle the day of; she rolled with it and it was absolutely beautiful. It also stayed in place all day, even through dancing all night at the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and felt so pretty. I highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a talented, reliable hairstylist for their special day.

We got so many compliments and are so pleased with how we looked for my brother's special day.

e was able to fit me and my matron of honor into her schedule that day. She was so nice and easy to work with. My hair turned out beautifully and lasted the whole day with no touch-ups needed. She showed my matron of honor how to put in and take out my veil without messing up the rest of my hair, which was super helpful to know. I would definitely recommend her!
