Me, Myself, And I: A bride only Hair Experience
An exclusive, one on one hair journey for the bride only. No bridal party needed. No rushing. Just top tier hairstyling from start to finish.
Bridal Hair Trial: A collaborative styling session to recreate your inspiration hairstyle on your hair texture and test for longevity so you feel confident on wedding day. We’ll get to know each other and take pictures of your finished style. It’s fun times!
Premium Accessories: Experiment with my stash of premium bridal hair accessories, earrings, hair extensions and veils during your bridal hair trial to get a better idea of what you’d like to wear.
Dedicated Travel: You get the absolute comfort of getting ready in your own selected environment: hotel, home, venue. I’ll meet you there with my fully stocked, professional kit.
Wedding Day Hair Art: Romantic bridal hair styled to survive hugs and humidity, with chill vibes. We can talk, laugh or sit in the quiet moments.
Extended Support: I stay with you up to half an hour after hairstyling is complete to help you with touch ups, getting dressed, or whatever you need help with.
Bridal Welcome Guide & Open Communication: Everything you need to prepare for your bridal hair trial and wedding day, plus our working timeline. Unlimited communication to help guide you along during the journey. I’m happy to help!
Your getting ready hours set the tone for your wedding day, which is why I provide a calm, relaxed, supportive hairstyling experience. To ensure each bride has my full attention to detail and complete flexibility while working with me, I take a limited number of weddings per year, while only serving one wedding a day. If this is the kind of intentional, texture-inclusive bridal hair experience you’re looking for, I’d love to hear more about your wedding day!
“My hair was complimented all night”
Dareece was a consummate professional— kind, punctual, and so detailed oriented! She took care of everyone quickly but with a lot of care. My hair was complimented all night, and I felt perfect for the event!!! I will recommend her to anyone getting married in the triangle area.

“My Hair looked so pretty!”
Dareece is amazing! Not only is she great at hair, but she has the most calming vibe. She does a lot of smaller weddings, and was the only person willing to travel to my venue just to do my and two others hair. Other hair dressers have these crazy minimums but she is not like that. My hair looked so pretty! It lasted all day!...I 10/10 recommend!
