Awarded Best of Zola
The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were prompt, proactive, and made me feel at ease. Their communication was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure my hair and makeup were perfect. Despite the incredibly windy conditions that forced us to move cocktail hour inside, my hair and makeup stayed flawless through all the outdoor photos and the rest of the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, even days later. My mother-in-law even shed a few happy tears at how beautiful her make up looked. The team at Stately Rose has such great personalities - they were efficient, skilled, and made the entire process so easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for an amazing beauty team for their special day.

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Cori truly saved my wedding day, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she arrived, right on time, professional, and completely prepared, I knew we were in good hands. She was warm, happy, and genuinely interested in everything that was going on, which made her feel more like a friend celebrating with us than just a hairdresser. She made me and my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful. Every single one of us showed her our inspiration pictures, and she matched them perfectly—down to the smallest details. She even brought a bag full of hair accessories to add those extra special touches. On top of all that, she graciously fit my niece in for an adorable “tiny wedding guest” hairstyle, which was completely unplanned. It meant so much to us! Not to mention the other 9 girls she had already done in a timely manner, all. by. herself. Cori is talented, professional, and such a joy to have around on a big day. 10/10 would recommend her for any event!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nikki. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. Even during our very first call, she went above and beyond—offering thoughtful guidance and great recommendations for my pre-wedding skincare routine. On my wedding day, Nikki handled hair and makeup not only for me, but also for six women in my bridal party—and she did it all with the most thoughtful, kind, patient, and calming presence. For my own look, she created the most beautiful, elegant ponytail that was exactly what I had envisioned. It felt soft and natural, stayed perfectly in place all day, and photographed flawlessly. Nikki took the time to listen to what each person in my bridal party wanted and made everyone feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. She was honest and helpful with her suggestions, incredibly organized, and somehow kept the entire morning running seamlessly without ever making us feel rushed. My hair and makeup turned out exactly as I had hoped—natural, timeless, and flawless from morning to night. Beyond her talent, what truly sets Nikki apart is her heart. She brings such warmth and positivity into a room, and it made the entire experience feel so special. I am endlessly grateful to have had her as part of our day and would recommend her to any bride a thousand times over.

You’re in wonderful hands if you have the privilege of Hilary beautifying you. I always leave her chair feeling beautiful. You can see the attention to detail and elegance in her work. She is the only person I let touch my hair and never lets me down. Plus she has great energy and will make you feel comfortable. I’d recommend anybody to book her!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Geri was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From our very first interaction, Geri's communication was quick, concise, and friendly. She was so accommodating when I changed my mind about how I wanted my hair styled, and the end result was absolute perfection - glamorous, professional, and perfect for a bride. Geri's work is truly top-notch, and she has such a warm and personable personality. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day thanks to Geri. I would recommend them to any bride looking for a hair and beauty team that will deliver stunning, flawless results.
