“I am so grateful I stumbled upon Marissa’s beautiful work via Instagram and booked her for our wedding (Aug. 2021). Marissa gave me the wedding hair of my dreams. I showed her a picture and voila! She styled it beautifully. I felt like a gorgeous model (and the style lasted all throughout the night including sweaty dancing and windy photo shoots). She styled my hair, my bridesmaids, and the moms and did absolutely gorgeous work with everyone. She also checks in along the way, making sure you’re completely in love with your hair which I really appreciate. She’s super organized and I had no concerns over her being on time and reliable. It felt like getting to sit and chat with a longtime friend. :) Oh and she cut my husband’s and brother’s hair week of the wedding too and they looked equally as fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about Marissa. If I lived in the Watertown area she would be my go to hairstylist for sure (and maybe my BFF Too??!!).”

Henna by Heather

Boston, MA
  • Team of 6
  • Serves Ames, IA for additional fees

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.”

Sexy Visage Makeup Artistry & Spa
Omaha, NE
  • Team of 3
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Ames, IA for additional fees

I founded Sexy Visage in 2013 after years of styling my friends & family for pageants, weddings, proms & formals. I noticed that it wasn't a lot of women who looked like me, that was providing beauty services in Nebraska & Iowa. So I came up with the idea of Sexy Visage. Sexy Visage was also created as a safe space for all women, no matter the shape, size, race or sexual orientation. We have a judgment free zone and we maintain that by being compassionate and understanding. My main focus for my business is Self Love & Self Care.

Proud Mama of 3 and a beauty coach. My love for animals and all things outdoors stems from my upbringing on a farm outside of Ankeny. I graduated from North Polk High School and went on to pursue a degree in Biotechnology. However, my love for hair and all things beauty wound me up at Iowa School of Beauty in 2002! I have had the opportunity to work at two amazing salons over my career. Through them I realized I can have it all by balancing time with family, work, and travel.

I love hair & feel incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates with me so perfectly.

“Solon De'Bleu's Brittany provided hair services for my wedding in June, 2016. She did an amazing job - doing my hair AND my 6 bridesmaid's hair by herself the morning of our wedding. Everyone looked fabulous and she gave everyone the unique style that they asked for. It was a 90 degree day, with no air-conditioning and our hair held all day. Brittany took away so much stress for me on the big day by being so easy to work with and professional.”
