The Best!!!

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.

What bridal hair dreams are made of

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.

Perfect Start to One of the Best Days of My Life!

Kristen and her team were phenomenal on the morning of our wedding. They travelled to our hotel at the crack of dawn on a Sunday to make sure that my matron of honor and I were wedding ready. It was a calm, easy going, and lovely start to a day that can sometimes be stressful. It was the perfect start to one of the best days of my life! I loved my hair and makeup and continue to receive compliments two months later on how I looked on my wedding day! It was a long day with festivities from 10am - 7pm and my hair and makeup lasted the whole day! I did a trial with Kristen and it was exactly that, a trial. I was able to try out looks that I had been curious about to figure out what I liked and did not like. It was very helpful. She provided great feedback and was open to feedback from the trial to be sure that I would be happy with my look on the wedding day. Kristen is very knowledgeable and provided great tips for my hair and makeup. She was in communication with me consistently leading up to the day while we discussed lipstick colors since I had a hard time deciding and finding the perfect lip color. She was awesome and I highly recommend her and her team.
