What real brides are saying…

  • Idil A

    Dareece was simply amazing for my wedding. She is incredible at her job, but more than that she's professional, kind, patient, warm and wonderful to work with. She supported every change or decision through out the process. I am so glad she was part of my wedding day and I recommend her to everyone.

  • Patrice A

    For one of the most important days of my life (wedding day!) I knew that I wanted some type of updo with my off the shoulder dress but didn’t know exactly what. Dareece helped me narrow it down and I was so happy with the outcome!…the day of she was super nice to everyone and we were all laughing and having the absolute best time! Not only that, she made sure my hair was always picture ready the whole day. I don’t trust a lot of people with my hair but with Dareece, I know I’m in good hands.

  • Cristina C

    Dareece is an absolute gem! She styled my hair for my wedding and I’m so happy with how it held all day and night. She’s incredibly talented and I would highly recommend her.

  • Jen M

    Dareece did my hair and the hair of my three bridesmaids and the mother of the groom this past weekend and she is truly a master of her craft! All of us were ecstatic with our hair and it lasted all night! Dareece is also just a joy to have around! We are beyond thankful for her!

  • Hadley J

    One of my favorite things about my wedding day was how my hair turned out. I hired Versatility Hair to do a practice run through for my wedding day…For the run-through, Dareece was very personable and open with me…I am also really indecisive, but Dareece was patient with me the entire time…By the end of the night after so much dancing, running, jumping, and getting married, was so secure to my head. And still looked beautiful! I’m grateful for Dareece. I don’t think I would’ve felt as beautiful on this special day had it not been for Dareece.”

  • Elizabeth M

    Dareece was great to work with!...Dareece listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I described! Two things that stood out to me was she was actively listening to me and had such a calming demeanor about her! I knew I was in good hands!… She brought everything she needed and was patient in between all 6 of us getting makeup done at the same time! Finally, Dareece was very quick to respond to all of my emails, answered any questions and provided the services promised and at a very fair price! I highly recommend Dareece and would absolutely use her services again!

    Dareece is so talented, precise and versatile in the hair styles she can do. She made my hair better than I could have imagined on my wedding day. It looked natural and boho but also didn’t move at all after a ton of dancing and hours of activity. My bridal party loved their hair. Dareece is lovely to work with, she brings a calm, kind vibe to the bridal prep experience. Hire her today!
