THESE STYLISTS ARE INCREDIBLE: IF YOU WANT TO LOOK GORGEOUS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY AND HAVE MONEY LEFT IN YOUR BUDGET FOR, SAY, A HONEYMOON >> HIRE THEM !!
I found the Kelly & Co. salon in Hickory, NC, on The Knot when i was scrambling to find ...hair and make up stylists who would travel to my winery venue for my July 2017 wedding. I was planning my wedding from across the country (Oregon) and time was growing short.
Thank goodness for these ladies !! I was absolutely thrilled from start to finish with the professionalism, efficiency, graciousness and overall talent of Monica and Tiffany, the stylists I worked with at Kelly & Co. Hallelujah !! Five Thumbs Way Up !! I would recommend these stylists wholeheartedly to any bride in NC who wants to look like a gazillion bucks on her wedding day -- and not pay a gazillion bucks! Their rates for trials, travel and day-of event styling are very reasonable. I even treated myself to highlights and a hair cut the week of my wedding and spent less than $100! Incredible.
I showed Tiffany a Pinterest photo of the hairstyle I liked for my wedding day and to my wonderment and genuine delight, she recreated it perfectly! The first day she ever saw it! She said she had never done that hairstyle before but she totally nailed it. Even more happily, she did an even more beautiful job on my wedding day three days later. Wahoo! Everyone remarked on how gorgeous my hair looked and I joked that I was going to walk backwards the entire day to lead with my hair which I couldn't get enough of! Fairytale Princess, indeed.
Monica did my hair highlights and cut the week before my wedding (slightly dicey move to visit a new stylist the week before your wedding, and she did a beautiful job!) She did my make up for the wedding. She listened to me when I told her I wanted a natural look with peachy highlights to match the blush in my gown and bouquet and the results were stunning. She even invested in a new lip gloss for my wedding day that she thought would match my look! The airbrush make up she used looked very natural (not cakey or heavy) and she told me about all of her secret tips and tricks as she went! Yay!
On the planning side of things, Monica responded quickly, politely and thoroughly to all of my questions (always within a day or less, yay!) and scheduled all of my appointments on the dates I requested. She made the entire process very easy and painless (which was not the case with all of our vendors!)
All in all, these ladies blew my expectations out of the water and truly helped create the unforgettable experience I have always envisioned for my wedding day. I hope this review helps other brides find them and walk down the aisle and dance the night away feeling as Gorgeous as I did!
