“Shelley did the hair for my friends wedding and when I saw how amazing she was I knew I wanted to use her for mine. When you first meet Shelley you can tell that she really loves what she does. She has so much positive energy and she really makes you feel comfortable. She listens to what you want, gives great advice, and delivers beautifully. She even cooled my hair before the wedding and it looked so amazing that I made my next appointment! I am so excited to have met Shelley and now be a client for life!! She is seriously the best!!”

“Shelley was INCREDIBLE from our first interaction over email, to our Skype meeting, to our hair consultation, to the day of styling, to being by my side for our wedding photos. Shelley is incredibly talented and REALLY listened to what I was envisioning and created a beautiful style I loved! Plus, she is a blast to hang out with! She was also amazing with our entire bridal party and made each girl feel individually beautiful! Absolutely adored every second and SO HAPPY she was willing to travel to San Diego for our wedding!

“I've lived in LA for over 4 years now and work in entertainment so I was a little nervous at first with finding someone in Michigan since I hadn't been back to have my hair done there in so long.... and then I found Shelley. I've worked with a lot of hair and make-up people in my line of work and let me just say this: If you want a perfect hair experience from start to finish then you want to book shelley for your wedding day (or any day). Let's start at the very beginning- Shelley is amazing at communicating. She always responded to my emails in a timely manner. For my trial, she spent hours with me making sure she understood what look I was going for, offering her expertise and trying a bunch of different looks that I was obsessed with (so much so that it made it so hard to decide which way to go!!) She then takes meticulous pictures of your hair so she can reference it on the day of the wedding! For the day of, not only did she do such an AMAZING job on my hair, but her energy and overall coolness is the EXACT type of energy you want around you on your wedding day. She's sweet, she's chill, she's fun to talk to and most importantly, she's beyond talented. She (and her team) did such an amazing job on my hair, and every bridesmaid as well as my husbands mother - ranging from up-do's to big curls to a perfect blowout and more! Another thing I love about Shelley is that she loves people who know exactly what they want and executes it perfectly (like my best friend) but is also pure perfection when you need a guidance and help deciding (like me!) I truly could not have been happier with my hair or with Shelley and I'm SO happy I found her! Trust me you will be happy every time you look at a photo of yourself from your wedding day that you had Shelley do your hair!!!”

“Shelley makes your wedding day even more special! She takes the time to do a trial before the wedding and is extremely accommodating to your wants and needs. She comes right to your venue and makes everyone in your wedding party gorgeous. She was timely, professional, fun, and most importantly knows her profession inside and out. Everyone in my bridal party asked for something different! Shelley and her assistant hit the mark on every hair style. I have too many good things to say, I highly recommend Shelley!”

“Love Shelley! She is so talented with wedding hair styles, but even more, has such great energy and is so fun to be around- essential to a great wedding day! Shelley has done my hair for 10 years now (crazy) and she's my go to gal for bridal hair. She did my hair for my wedding 4 years ago and 3 other weddings since, all of which I have loved! She does a fantastic job at following your vision and is quick to fix something / totally change everything if it isn't exactly what you want. I absolutely love that about her. When your in a wedding, loving you hair truly makes you feel so much better about the entire day, Shelley totally understands that!”

“I can't say enough amazing things about Shelley... She is an amazing artist and an even more impressive person. As an out of town bride she made my life so much less stressful! I met with Shelley twice before my wedding to go over what I wanted - soft, romantic, curls.. not too perfect and I wanted to look like MYSELF. Shelley listened to every word I said and really heard me. I don't know how else to put it - she just GOT it. We also went over recommendations for extensions. Shelley does amazing work with hair extensions and I wanted to get them so badly. I've honestly never seen such beautiful hair - she is a miracle worker! However, since I was out of town and going on my honeymoon right after we settled on clip ins, which she cut and blended for me perfectly on my second visit with her. On the big day it was such a relief to see Shelley's face at my parent's house where I was getting ready. I felt like a friend was walking into the room. Her calm and confident demeanor was SO REASSURING. But not only that, Shelley had taken NOTES on everything we had gone over the past two visits. Notes you guys! Who does that? An absolute professional who aims for perfection 100% of the time - and that's Shelley. She had spent the months leading up to my wedding looking at my Instagram photos just to get my vibe right. Shelley made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself imaginable and not to mention she also did 5 of my bridesmaids and my mother's hair impeccably. I could not recommend Shelley more highly. She is the BEST! I only wished I was local and could see her for all my hair needs. Don't hesitate to book Shelley for your big day!!”

“Shelley and her team gave me the best up-do I have ever had for a wedding. She was able to recreate an idea I had shown her from pinterest and executed it to perfection. My hair was elegant, trendy, polished and really made me feel beautiful. I have thick, coarse hair and she worked wonders on my horse mane! I would recommend Shelley to anyone and everyone!”

“When my fiancé and I got engaged, I knew right away I wanted to work with Shelley. Beyond doing amazing work, Shelley is personable, flexible, incredibly creative and understanding. She isn’t just talented at going through the motions: Shelley truly takes it to the next level in being able to deliver for her clients no matter how unusual the circumstances. So much so, in fact, when we decided to get married in Italy instead of Michigan (!), she STILL took on the daunting task of helping me hair prep from 5,000 miles away. To add a layer of complexity, I learned that in my husband’s family there was a long-standing tradition of my mother in law doing every bride’s hair on their wedding day. But again, Shelley didn’t flinch. Instead, she helped me plan and prep months in advance (extensions, color, cut) AND did a hair trial with me and my mother-in-law to ensure we were all on the same page in terms of technique and final product. Having Shelley on hand to help me navigate a potentially sticky situation made all the difference. My requests were likely unusual compared to her “typical” client :) but she never once was anything other than positive and helpful. Her expertise gave me confidence in the entire process, making one thing on my check list seamless, even in a time when several other planning aspects weren’t. Local or destination, if you are considering Shelley for your own wedding, I could not recommend her more!”

“WORLD CLASS!!! Shelley has perfected the art of client consultation. At the beginning of every appointment for the past 7 years, Shelley has sat down with me and discussed how I'm feeling about my hair - cut, color, health, and direction for the current appointment. Each visit leading up to my wedding was no exception. Shelley took my blonde hair to a whole other level to ensure it was the perfect color and length. She styled my hair on my wedding day (twice) and both looks were perfection - beautiful waves for the ceremony and a gorgeous ponytail for the reception. My bridesmaids were thrilled with their updos too, and repeatedly commented that Shelley absolutely nailed each of their individual looks. In addition to her talent, Shelley is a wonderful person - professional, fun, kind, hilarious, and she always puts the client first. You will not regret selecting Shelley as your stylist!”

“When I first met Shelley, I had already met with 2 previous "contenders" for wedding hair. I am EXTREMELY picky and not afraid to admit it. I needed the beautiful hair I was envisioning PLUS the bridal experience because your wedding day is all about you. The other 2 contenders had zero interest in what I was looking for or my comcerns if my thin hair would be able to pull it off. Shelley takes her time and is very thorough. You do not feel rushed like in a salon because she works for you, the client, and not a salon. In fact she is my new permanent stylist because after my up do trial I had enough confidence to allow her to dye my hair. If you decide to have Shelley as your bridal stylist you will feel like the bride you have always imagined. Also, she came to us so it was super easy on wedding day. We didn't have to travel anywhere. Book her now!”

“Shelley was such a huge part of my big day, making sure my hair was absolutely perfect from the trial to the wedding day! She made me feel so special, how a bride should feel! She took her time during both my trial session and on the wedding day and did such an incredible job. Both her and her partner made all of my girls hair look so amazing as well, coming up with so many creative hairstyles for each of them. I would highly recommend Shelley for her incredible talent and sweet personality, and can't wait to return to her for other hair services!”

“I booked Shelley to do hair for myself, my bridal party, and my mother/mother-in-law based on a recommendation I received from another hairstylist, and I am so glad that I did! My updo turned out even better than the photo ideas I showed her, and it stayed in place all night. She did a different style for each of my bridesmaids, and they all turned out beautiful. Can't recommend her enough! Thanks Shelley!”

“AMAZING! I found Shelley’s information on the Knot while scouring the internet for a hairstylist for my wedding. I had just had an awful experience with the salon that I planned on booking for hair and make-up. After seeing glowing reviews and stalking her weddings on Facebook, I gave her a call to see if she was available and willing to travel to Bay Harbor, MI for my August wedding. She was so easy to talk to on the phone and she knew all of the right questions to ask. For most brides, the next step would be to schedule a trial with your hairstylist to make sure you are happy with their work (especially after just having a bad experience). Well, the kicker is that I live in Florida and there was only so many times I could make my way up to Michigan. I booked her on the spot and crossed my fingers. I also wanted extensions put in my hair before the wedding. Since I was unable to make it back up to Michigan, Shelley had to color match my hair through pictures I sent her (I know, I’m crazy). I flew up to Michigan 3 days before my wedding for Shelley to apply the extensions. So, needless to say, they needed to match or I was out of luck. They matched perfectly! Shelley traveled to Bay Harbor, MI Friday afternoon with a makeup artist, Nikoletta, that she totally put together for me. They did hair and make-up for myself and my mother-in-law for my rehearsal dinner and it was nothing short of amazing. For the wedding on Saturday, Shelley styled hair for myself, five bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. Everyone just loved her. My mother, who is not an easy woman to please, absolutely loved all of her updos and styles. She was so easy be around, very calm (which is EXTREMLY important on your wedding day) and she’s basically your psychologist for the day. I’m officially obsessed with Shelley and Nikoletta’s work. They are a KILLER team. You cannot go wrong with Shelley. I would and will recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
