Marissa Williams Bridal Hairstylist

5.0

Team of 1
Starts at $380
Serves Van Meter, 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 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!”

Serves Van Meter, 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.”

My skin was not only glowing, but i was able to get rid of my huge pores and my husband was able to remove his acne scars. We looked good for our wedding. I would 100% recommend her to any one.”

Hi, Ashley Rasco, here. I built Zayd's Beauty for a dream of doing what I love for a living. My business name comes from my two kids. I combined their names to create Zayd's. I later would find out that it translates to "growth" and "abundance," in Arabic. What a happy coincidence! All I want is to grow with my brides and clients who need me for their special events! I want an abundant amount of times to see you and get to know your personal beauty needs! I created Zayd's Beauty to bring a little light into everyone's world. From the moment you sit in mine, or a team members chair, I want you to leave feeling confident and beautiful!

“Zayd's Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the moment I first reached out, the team was incredibly friendly, engaging, and responsive, answering all of my questions in a timely manner. On the day of, Ashley did a stunning job on the makeup for both myself and my mother - we both looked and felt absolutely gorgeous. The quality of their work was truly exceptional and worth every penny. I will definitely be using Zayd's Beauty again and have already recommended them to family and friends. Thank you for helping make our special day even more beautiful!”

Bailee Cribb Bridal

5.0

Starts at $2,550
Serves Van Meter, 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!”

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 have known Brittany for a long, long time and was thrilled to have her style my hair for my wedding. She is super professional, creative, and experienced. She will work with your vision to come up with a unique style that complements you and your wedding vibe in the best ways. My absolute favorite part was not having to worry AT ALL about how my hair would turn out. During the trial, she will make sure you absolutely love you hair before sending you home. It was such a relief to leave knowing what to expect on the wedding day and that we were both prepared. There are plenty of other things to be stressed about leading up to your wedding but Brit has you covered in the hair department. I recommend her 10/10!”
