Marissa Williams Bridal Hairstylist

5.0

Team of 1
Starts at $380
Serves Dawson, 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!”

Bespoke Beauty LLC

Serves Dawson, IA

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.”

Bailee Cribb Bridal

5.0

Starts at $2,550
Serves Dawson, IA for additional fees

I’m Bailee, the artist behind Coastal Editorial Glam™ and the signature Bailee Wave + Sculpt™. Brides come to me for hair and makeup with intention behind every line — structured where it needs strength, soft where it needs ease, and built with the kind of precision you’d expect backstage, not in a crowded bridal suite. My work sits in that space between coastal air and editorial clarity: skin that looks refined without effort, and waves that hold their silhouette long after the first look.

“I recently had a bridal hair trial with Bailee and couldn’t be happier with the results! I requested Hollywood waves, and she executed them perfectly—better than I ever imagined. Bailee is not only talented but also sweet, easy to talk to, and very personable. She took her time to ensure everything was just right, yet the entire process only took about two hours. She also added a volume weft, which really elevated the style I wanted. I highly recommend Bailee for your wedding hair needs!”

Some even didn't know what they wanted and she gave great recommendations based on their hair.

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!
