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.

Stacia is truly amazing at her craft. She brings incredible depth and attention to detail in everything she does, and most importantly, she really connects with her clients. Her work isn’t just beautiful—it reflects the care, communication, and effort she consistently puts in. Working alongside her is always a pleasure. Her kit is meticulously organized, clean, and extremely sanitary. She uses high-quality products made with natural ingredients, which I really appreciate. She even brings an air purifier with a fan to help clear the air from product fog—which I know my lungs are grateful for! Stacia is a true professional, and it shows in every aspect of her work.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marissa did an absolutely phenomenal job styling my hair for my wedding day! She work on seven of us—myself, my mom, four bridesmaids, and a personal attendant—and every single style turned out beautifully. She was incredibly efficient without sacrificing quality, and she handled a wide range of hair types and textures (short, long, curly, straight, thick, and thin) with ease. I decided to change my hairstyle just days before the wedding and sent her reference photos—she executed the new look flawlessly. My hair held up all night through photos, dancing, and everything in between. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist to be part of my day. Highly recommend Marissa to any bride looking for someone talented, flexible, and calm under pressure!

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.

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!

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!
