I hired Wanderlust Wedding Co for my wedding on 11/11/23. It was me (bride) and 4 others that got their hair done. Meghan B was incredible to work with. She showed up right on time, with such a warm, welcoming, and fun energy for the day. She was so much fun to be around and did an INCREDIBLE job. I've had my hair done professionally by others before and by the end of the day my curls have fallen and become flat. My hair lasted from the morning through our 2 am after party and looked FLAWLESS the entire day. Thank you for sharing your magic with me, Meghan! I felt so beautiful all day and my hair stayed in place through all the dancing, hugging, laughing, and happy tears.

I can’t say enough great things about Kristen. She was on time, professional, super sweet and takes the time to listen to what you’d like. She kept her team working in a timely fashion. My hair came out perfect and lasted all day. She also did an amazing job with my mom and my bridal party. I highly recommend you book Kristen for your wedding.
Any questions?

Kristen did the most AMAZING job on my natural curls for our wedding in September 2021. I am very particular with who touches my hair and how I wanted it styled with a flower crown in place. I wanted it to look as natural as possible, but still hold up the style for the entire night and party. She perfected all my curls and made my hair look like a goddess’. I got so many compliments on my curls and they looked so good in all our photos and video. Kristen was so easy to work with throughout the entire process and such a gem to get ready with the day of! Definitely hire her as your go to hair stylist for your big day. You won’t regret it!!

Kristen and her team from Wanderlust Wedding Co. are absolutely amazing. They were prompt and ready to go at a moment's notice. Kristen coordinated with the bride the time schedule for their arrival as well as appointment times for each girl in order to make the process run more smoothly.
Everyone watched as Kristen was preparing the brides hair and makeup for her big day. The end result was that the bride looked stunning. Her hair and makeup went perfectly with her wedding ensemble.
The team was extremely patient with the girls as they prepared their hair and make up making sure that each and every one of them were happy before moving on to the next client. We all know how fussy girls can be sometimes but they made sure they were very satisfied with their look before leaving their seat.
When it came time to the mother's they took a little extra time as it was their big day too. We were both were very pleased and I for one as mother of the bride haven't felt that beautiful since I was married some 42 years ago. Thank you to Kristen and her Wanderlust Team for an amazing and beautiful experience on my daughter's special day.

Kristen made my visions come true with my hair for my wedding. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to wear my hair up or down so she gave me the idea to switch it from down to up midday and I am so happy to have both looks! My hair stayed perfect even with it being 95 degrees and humid. She also did an amazing job with my mom and bridal party. I highly recommend you book Kristen for your wedding or any important event you are having! She will exceed your expectations and she is the sweetest person ever!
