About Joyful Brides

Joyful Brides

Owner/ Lead Stylist

With over 20 years in the beauty industry I am blessed to still love what I do! I am versatile in executing pretty much any hairstyle that is shown to me. I have great attention to detail, patience, and a very calming demeanor that brides love to have on their big day. My fabulous team of artists are all experienced and established in the bridal industry. We are LGBTQ Friendly and keep up with the latest trends! Upon booking you will be provided a custom timeline for the day of your wedding so you don’t have to stress about a thing! We hope you can become one of our next “Joyful Brides”!

What makes us different is we strive to make every single bride look like themselves, but elevated. Many of my makeup artists have perfected the “no makeup makeup look” for all those natural brides out there. With over hundreds of weddings under our belt, we have the professional experience you can rely on. We are efficient in our timing, yet we can execute many different hair styles, textures, soft glam and full glam looks.

Kim was the paragon of professionalism. She brought a sense of calm confidence from the minute she walked in on my wedding morning. She did an outstanding job on my low-bun updo, and easily made some changes that I requested from our hair trial to give me the bridal look of my dreams, but I was even more impressed with the updo she pulled off for my mom. My mom has 2-3 inch long, very fine hair and Kim created an elegant, regal updo that was absolutely stunning. I could not recommend her more!

Kim and Liz did an outstanding job with our hair and makeup. They were responsive, attentive, and ensured my girls and I looked fabulous all night, even as we danced and celebrated. The process was smooth and efficient. Highly recommend! 5 stars!

Kim did absolutely incredible work, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her for my wedding day. From the trial alone, I knew she was the one. Despite a heavy storm and me getting caught in the rain, my hair lasted flawlessly all day. On the actual day, she somehow made my hair look even better than my inspiration photos, something I honestly never thought possible. She worked so efficiently and gracefully, even in the tight space of a small hotel suite (sorry, Kim!), and had my hair finished by 11am. Before the big day we created a custom schedule for everyone, which was amazing and helped the rest of the day run smooth. The hair stayed picture perfect through the entire wedding, hours of dancing, endless hugs, and even through the after-party until 3am. The longevity and quality were beyond anything I could have hoped for. What meant the most to me, though, was how Kim cared for my maid of honor. In the months leading up to the wedding, my MOH began experiencing alopecia and was anxious about having a formal hairstyle. Kim not only reassured her with such professionalism and compassion, but also created pure magic. Her hairstyle was stunning, and you would never have known she had any hair loss at all. The confidence and beauty Kim gave her that day meant the world to both of us. She went above and beyond for everyone, exceeding every expectation. I am endlessly grateful and would recommend Kim to anyone looking for a stylist who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to making her clients feel beautiful.
