I know i am incredibly late to write this review but I had to make sure it got done! My maid of honor and I had Emily do our hair for my big day and that was the best decision ever!! Emily was so so kind and the conversation felt effortless, like we have known each other for forever. I asked for a half up half down but wanted to ensure i had an updo option because of the heat and she did it incredibly! My half-up, half-down look was stunning and then she gave me everything I needed for my updo to come out stunning as well!! I would recommend Emily to anyone who needs to their hair done for their big day!!

Emily from Willow & Lace was an absolute dream to work with! From my bridal hair trial to my wedding day, she completely exceeded every expectation and truly brought my hair vision...
to life.
She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and created the most beautiful style I could have imagined. When I saw my finished hair, it was everything I had dreamed of and more! I felt so beautiful and confident walking down the aisle.
What impressed me even more was how incredibly well my hair held up. It stayed gorgeous through hours of photos, the ceremony, dinner, and a night full of dancing—it looked just as amazing at the end of the night as it did when she first finished styling it! On top of that, Emily somehow managed to secure everything perfectly while still making it easy and manageable to take down at the end of the evening, which was such an appreciated detail after such a long day.
Beyond her incredible talent, Emily is so warm, professional, and wonderful to be around. She helped make my wedding morning feel calm, fun, and stress-free. I truly can't recommend Emily and Willow & Lace enough. If you're looking for someone who will make your bridal hair dreams come true, she's the one. Thank you for helping me feel so beautiful on the best day of my life!

mooth from start to finish.
Emily was fantastic throughout the planning process. She coordinated all of the schedules, kept everything organized, and was always quick to respond whenever I had a question. Having someone so responsive and on top of the logistics made such a difference leading up to the wedding.
Danielle and Beccie were our stylists, and they were both wonderful! They were so much fun to have with us that morning, worked incredibly quickly and efficiently, and still made sure everyone looked amazing. The whole morning felt relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed or stressful.
They were also so sweet about letting our dog hang out with us while we were getting ready. He sat in my lap while I got my hair done, which honestly helped keep me calm before the ceremony and became such a special little memory from the morning.
I cannot recommend Willow & Lace enough. From Emily’s communication and organization to Danielle and Beccie making the actual wedding morning so easy and fun, the entire team was fantastic. They helped make getting ready one of the most enjoyable parts of the day!

I had a large group with nine bridesmaids, MOB and MOG. Cheyenne and Marley kept the energy in the room fun, calm and such a fun getting ready experience. On my wedding day I opted to change the style from what I did in the trial. Cheyenne was amazing and quickly adapted. She is so kind and caring and really takes the time to listen to what you want. She made my vision come to life and it was exactly what I wanted. I felt so beautiful the day of my wedding. I highly recommend Willow and Lace. Amazing work and amazing people!

he getting ready process was stress free and our hair looked amazzzzzing. She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions at my trial to get the best results.
Side note: I wear wigs due to having alopecia, I mentioned that I normally use alcohol free products on my wigs to help them keep longer. Danielle went above and beyond, she went out and bought all the products she needed that were alcohol free.
I was so appreciative of her consideration, kindness, and attention to detail! I would highly recommend Danielle and would love to work with her again in the future.

Deysi helping out with the rest of my girls/moms. Danielle did a phenomenal job with my hair, and it lasted all night! I even had a beachside wedding that was a bit breezy, and my hair stood up to it! I did a trial with Danielle, and I’m so glad I did because she took notes and made some tweaks to my wedding day hair, that made it perfect. Danielle has such a wonderful personality, so fun and sweet, and a 10/10 hype-woman. I could not recommend them more!! Danielle also worked so well with my make-up artist, Tiffany from Beauty by Tiffany Inc. - HIGHLY recommend booking them together, they've got a great dynamic. Thank you Danielle!!

She went so far as to practice what I wanted on her daughter at home so it would perfect for my day. Beccie accompanied Deysi for my wedding day and they effortlessly created looks for my bridesmaids - some of them came prepared with pictures and some did not but that wasn’t an issue for these talented ladies at all! They made us all feel so beautiful with their stunning work and I am so grateful I found them! Thank you for being a part of what made my special day much more than I could have ever imagined!

ing. Being a bride during COVID, dates and locations changed more than once, and she was so flexible through it all, even driving much further than initially anticipated. I chose 2 different styles to trial, but ended up going with a completely different style on my wedding day, and Emily absolutely killed it! I was so in love with my hair, and probably received more compliments on my hair than my dress lol! I can’t say enough good things about her entire team, who styled the hair of my 5 bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, and myself in record time!
