Wedding hair that lasts the whole day

A private bridal suite on 61st Street, a trial that settles every detail months ahead, and a stylist who has done this four hundred times and still treats it like the first.

How it works

The trial is the whole thing.

Almost every wedding-hair disaster traces back to a trial that was rushed or skipped. Marisol books two full hours, photographs the finished look from every angle, and writes down the exact pins, products and section pattern.

On the day she is working from notes and photographs, not memory — which is why brides who had their trial in February get the identical look in September.

Bridal & events

On-location styling outside Woodside carries a travel charge that depends on the venue and the call time. It is quoted in writing with the morning schedule, never added afterwards.

The bridal party

Everyone, on a schedule that works.

Bridesmaids, mothers, grandmothers and guests are booked alongside the bride, and the morning runs on a written schedule with a name against every time. Nobody sits around for three hours, and nobody is still being pinned when the cars arrive.

For parties larger than six, Marisol brings a second stylist. Tell us the numbers when you enquire and it will be in the quote.

Good to know

Questions we get asked

How far ahead should I book a wedding?
As early as you can. Saturdays between May and October are usually taken six to nine months ahead. The trial itself is normally three to six months before the day.
Do I have to have a trial?
For the bride, yes — it is the difference between a good morning and a stressful one. For bridesmaids it is optional, and most skip it.
Will you come to the venue?
Yes, anywhere in New York City and Long Island. Travel is quoted in writing with the morning schedule, based on the venue and the call time.
How many people can you style in one morning?
Marisol works through about one person an hour on her own. For parties larger than six she brings a second stylist, so tell us the numbers when you enquire and it will be in the quote.
What if I want to change the look after the trial?
Then we have done the trial exactly right. Small changes are free to agree by email; if you want to redesign it completely, a second trial is charged at the same rate.
