Marissa Williams Bridal Hairstylist

5.0

Team of 1
Starts at $380
Serves Van Meter, IA

I am a Bridal Hair Stylist based out of West Des Moines! Styling hair is my passion along with everything that comes with being a Bridal Hairstylist. The busy mornings, laughter among friends/family, traveling to different venues- I love it all!

“Marissa was fantastic!! She was so easy to work with, flexible, and friendly. I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair, but she gave me a frizz free look without making my hair crunchy or stiff from product. My half up-do was super comfortable and stayed all night with no issues, even after taking my cathedral length veil out. She added a great vibe to the room getting ready and I knew from my trial that I didn’t need to worry about hair at all. Everyone else loved her work as well, she was super knowledgeable and confident in whipping up hairstyles the day of for the bridesmaids and my mom. She even worked with my maid of honor’s natural curls to touch them up and add a little style. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Hi, I’m Stacia I’ve been styling brides hair in Iowa since 2010 while I was still in school. I spent hours perfecting the bride’s look, and as I watched everything come together, I realized how much I loved the energy of weddings. The way hair can transform a person and complete their entire bridal look—there was something magical about it. Hair comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures, and I see it as a blank canvas to create a style that’s as unique as you are. Whether you want timeless elegance, romantic waves, or a soft boho vibe, I’ll bring your vision to life with care and attention to detail.

“Bespoke Beauty LLC provided excellent communication throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were always there to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. Stacia, the lead stylist, did an incredible job with my hair as well as the hair of my 6-year-old daughter, both mothers, and my siblings. Bespoke Beauty LLC was a true problem solver, working hard and efficiently to ensure we all looked and felt our absolute best on the big day. I highly recommend their services to any couple planning their wedding.”

“Brit did an updo for my wedding for myself & maid of honor. She came to my location which made my day way easier with scheduling! She did our hair better then I could have imagined! It held up the whole night of dancing & sweating. She is so confident in her work & knows exactly how to do what you want in a very timely manner. Honestly, having her made all the anxiety of “the perfect hair” completely go away. I am so thankful I hired her!”
