Marissa was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From the very first interaction, she was prompt in her communication, adaptive to my specific wants and needs, and maintained a highly professional demeanor. Her work was truly top-notch - she is a highly skilled stylist who is wonderful to work with. Marissa took the time to understand the exact hairstyle I envisioned and make wedding day adjustments as needed. She was genuine, patient, and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional bridal hairstylist for their special day.

Monticello, IA
  • Starts at $70

We share Aveda’s exceptional standards of quality products, treatments, and guest care, and everything we do reflects the standards of an Aveda salon.

Oasis Salon & Spa was the hair and makeup vendor for my wedding this past August. The girls we ended up working with were great; super friendly and everyone was happy with their hair and makeup the day of. They worked with me to figure out my makeup look as I was struggling to figure out what I wanted. I had 2 trials where they walked me through different ideas and modified the day of as well. The airbrush makeup was also great on the hot August day and held up the whole day! The reason I didn't give 5 stars was when figuring out the details of the day, I was told we would receive 2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists to be able to get through the amount of services we needed in the timeframe we outlined with our DOC. I even booked them 11 months in advance. Unfortunately when we showed up to the venue that morning, there was only 1 hair stylist and 2 makeup artists. While the hair stylist worked as fast as she could, it still put us 20-30 minutes behind schedule and didn't allow time for her to show me how to put my veil underneath my updo. Because of this, we were behind schedule for pictures and I wasn't able to wear my veil the way we had discussed. I wish they had been up front on capacity or communicated the change in number of hair stylists assigned to our wedding. The ability to get 10 hair and 10 makeups done in 4 hours was the main reason I choose Oasis.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this team! From the initial inquiry, to booking, to the wedding day itself, the communication was absolutely fantastic, and everything felt so seamless and organized. Jenna was truly incredible and such a calming presence throughout the entire day. The moment she noticed I was starting to feel stressed, she immediately stepped in to help calm me down and made me feel completely taken care of. In the middle of such an emotional and hectic day, that meant more to me than I can put into words. She was not only so talented, but also so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She has such a great personality, and I absolutely loved her energy and being around her throughout the day. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup trial, and Jenna made a few suggestions that ended up making the final look even better than I could have imagined. Day of, everything came together more beautifully than I could have asked for. Matt did hair and Diana did makeup, and every single one of my family members and friends looked absolutely beautiful. Everyone felt confident, comfortable, and so happy with their look. They were both so much fun to be around and brought such great energy to the day, which made the entire getting-ready experience even more enjoyable. I’m beyond grateful to this team for helping make the day so special and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

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!
