Dareece is an amazing person, a consummate professional and a gifted artist. I am so happy to have found her for our intimate wedding. She did such beautiful work on my bridal trial, that my daughter wanted to get hers done as well. As my maid of honor, Dareece accommodated her requests and on the wedding day, did our hair beautifully! Dareece is also kind enough to open her books for a regular haircut for me, and I'll continue to see her as long as she's around!

She was able to do ANY look we showed her for inspiration and they were so long-lasting. She uses incredibly high quality products that smell amazing and lasted all night even through the sweaty dance portion of the evening that was filled with hugging, spinning, and jumping for me! She was so responsive, open to feedback, and detail oriented! If I ever need hair done again for an event she will be my first. All and she should be yours as well!!! Don’t hesitate, hire Erin!!!

Deatrice (New Found Beauty Makeup Artistry) provided make-up for myself, my bridesmaid and my mother. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, respectfully listens to your requests, and moves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. She was on time and ahead of schedule. I highly recommend her – she’s worth every penny.

Feathered Hair Salon

  • Starts at $475
  • Serves Durham, NC

I'm a bridal hair stylist located in Cary, NC, and I've been honing my craft for over 10 years. I absolutely adore weddings – they're my favorite! Working with brides and helping their visions come to life brings me so much joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rush was a dream to work with, in all truth. She styled five heads including my long, thick haired updo. She also did wonders with shall-we-say less bountiful heads of hair, which as you may know, is less of an easy job. She works with good products and good tools which was important to me. And most importantly, my bridal updo was The Most Comfortable Hair I've Ever Had. I kid you not. I wore that updo (with 75 pins in it) for 12 hours. There was not a pin-prick in my scalp and it wasn't heavy or annoying in any way. It held up until midnight when I reluctantly left the party and disassembled my gorgeous hair. Some people style wedding hair because they have to, Rush does it because she genuinely loves the whole experience (which really shows). She was helpful, thoughtful, had superb communication habits, and is just all around a sweet, sweet human. I could not recommend her or her services more highly.

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

I have had the privilege to see this woman grow from being just a little girl with a glint in her eye. She has always been curious and loved making people feel good. She is quite the professional.

Wink Hair + Makeup 

5.0

  • Serves Durham, NC

WINK hair + makeup began because a group of like minded creatives had a passion for making women look and feel confident and beautiful. We are artists that love constantly learning how to enhance natural beauty and teaching what we know to clients and other artists.

I had never had my makeup professionally done, but I knew I wanted it for my wedding. WINK is the only business that provided COVID protocols upfront, without my asking, when I was looking for the right artist for my wedding. Because of that, I immediately went with them. And I am SO GLAD I did! My makeup was PERFECT on my wedding day. I was a little nervous because I didn't do a trial run, but there was no need to be worried. Krystal went over my inspiration photos with me and then went to work. It was exactly what I wanted, and I have never felt more beautiful. If I ever need my makeup done professionally again, I will absolutely go with WINK!

I have never felt more confident and beautiful. If you are searching for an artist, I promise you have found her. Not only does Mena make you feel your absolute best, her team the day of gets straight to work and will make all your bridesmaids and family feel the same! I have been in multiple weddings where the beauty team is unorganized, rushed, or makes you want to wash your hair and face and do it yourself. Her team had a set pre made schedule for each of my girls, listened to their beauty visions, extremely friendly, and even my pickiest bridesmaids were blown away and obsessed with how they looked! Also, due to my venues schedule, we had to get ready at my house and her team brought their own table/chairs and left my house cleaner than it was before they arrived. I can not compliment Mena and her team enough!

From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!
