From the very first interaction, she was prompt in her communication, adaptive to my specific wants and needs, and maintained a highly professional demeanor.

Bespoke Beauty LLC

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Des Moines, 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.

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy! She’s the person you want with you, laughing and singing along to your pre wedding playlist helping you get ready and look amazing on your big day! 100% recommend!

  • Serves Des Moines, IA for additional fees

Hi! My name is Nicole Jarzobski. It’s so nice to meet you! I’m a traveling makeup artist in Gretna, Nebraska, specializing in bridal and special event makeup. I have been in the beauty industry for over 8 years, and have been doing bridal makeup for 5 years. It is my passion to make everyone feel beautiful and confident!

Awarded Best of Zola
NICOLE!! First off, I knew I wanted to Nicole to do my wedding makeup a year before I even got engaged once I saw her work on instagram. So after I had picked a date and venue, she was the first vendor I booked. Since the first contact, Nicole was professional, communicative and lovely to work with. She made the booking process easy and was quick to respond to any questions. Fast forward to 6 week before my wedding, we had the trial. I went to her studio and it was so cute! It was a beautiful, professional space. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was treated with such respect and like a valued client. She took the time to ask questions about what I wanted and we went through my inspiration pictures. The trial lasted approx 1.5 hours and I loved it! It felt like she really took her time to perfect my makeup. When I saw it, my jaw dropped. I was stunned at how perfect the makeup looked. It was better than I could have imagined. On the wedding day, Nicole arrived early and was set up and ready to begin right on time. As a type A girlie, I appreciated that. I let each of the girls pick their own style of makeup and Nicole perfectly accommodated everyone including multiple different skin tones and make comfortability levels. She also brought a wonderful second artist, Marisol. All my girls LOVED their makeup. The ones that opted to not get their makeup done regretted it after seeing their work. The makeup lasted sooo well on the wedding day. I even slept in it (on accident) and it was still amazing the next morning. The lashes perfectly still on. I got so many compliments on my makeup. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!

Bailee Cribb Bridal 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Des Moines, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

A professional salon owner & stylist for 11 years, I have used hair as my canvas, bringing a distinctive aesthetic & fresh approach to draw out each client’s unique beauty. Hair is my art & I love the process of transforming someone from start to finish.I understood from an early age that hair is not just an accessory; that great hair is the key to feeling beautiful. Mastering skills in wedding styling, It’s my personal goal to continue to grow & excel in my craft and to ultimately share with my clients all I've learned & can achieve for them. I love hair & feel incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates with me so perfectly.

I went to Brittany at Salon De’ Bleu for updos for myself and my wedding party. Brittany was wonderful at making sure everything was perfect and all my guests were comfortable and satisfied the whole time. From the trial updo for my wedding, up to my wedding day, Brittany took the worry out of planning my day. Very satisfied with our hairstyles, cost, and atmosphere of the salon. Highly recommend her for any of your color and style needs!
