    Incredibly talented hmu!

    Michelle and her Love is in the Hair team are the BEST choice for HMU! There are not even enough kind words for me to express how grateful I am to her and her team! From the beginning, Michelle has seemed like one of my best ensure you feel your best! For my engagement photos, I decided last-minute I wanted HMU and she graciously worked me into her day. Love is in the Hair is very responsive to emails, texts, and all communication. I felt like I was a true Tahoe bride from that point on! I knew I was in good hands for my wedding HMU with Michelle! She made me feel so beautiful by accentuating my natural features. I typically don’t wear a lot of make-up day-to-day and she knew exactly what kind of HMU would be best. She is the expert and I left it up to her and she exceeded my expectations! She is truly PHENOMENAL!
    My mom came with me for my HMU trial. We showed her a few Instagram and Pinterest inspiration photos and Michelle began her magic! We had so much fun with Michelle and it got us even more excited in the month leading up to the wedding. She was showing us which products work best and why. We gave me several tips on make-up application. She is so wonderful! She has a passion for HMU and you can tell. She sincerely listens to what you want and has the expertise to bring it to fruition.
    Michelle did my HMU for my rehearsal dinner and for my wedding. I felt so relaxed and had so much fun with her and the Love is in the Hair team. I completely trust her and she is a true professional. She knows that this is your big day and makes you feel and look like your most beautiful self! Michelle gave me a blow-out for my rehearsal that would have lasted the entire weekend! I have super straight hair and she has figured out the secret to giving me beautiful beach curls. I loved it. For my wedding, she created this chic, classic chignon with intricate twists that added volume and accentuated my highlights. I’ll post a photo because pictures speak a thousand words- all complimentary toward Michelle!
    Nicole and Dori were amazing; my bridesmaids can’t stop raving about them! A lot of my bridesmaids said this was their best wedding HMU experience ever! My bridesmaids and mom felt so special and were STUNNING! The Love is in the Hair team are so talented and up-to-date on the latest and best techniques and trends. We had 8 people total for both hair and makeup, and they were able to tailor to each of our preferences, dress color, personality, and hair/skin type. They gave my bridal party a glowy, natural, and cohesive look.
    Thank you Love is in the Hair for everything! Several people have told me that our wedding seemed like it belongs on a magazine cover. You made us all feel so beautiful on this special day. You are incredibly talented and I am extremely thankful.

    Hair and Make-up team of my dreams!

    I honestly don't even know where to begin, I have so many positive things to say about Love Is In The Hair and Michelle. The moment I inquired, I knew my wedding day hair and makeup dreams would come true. Email communication with Love Is In The Hair was responsive, informative, honest, organized, and made this type-A bride relax a bit. Michelle is beyond talented - I chose to do a H&MAU trial (with the MOB in tow) and we left raving about the outcome/how much we loved Michelle! The Love Is In The Hair team was such a pleasure to be with on our wedding day, my bridesmaids and VIPs were raving about the team - everyone was obsessed with their H&MAU/we left the day wanting to be 'real life' friends with the girls. Michelle created the most enviable messy, low chignon for my updo, it was perfection! I could go on and on about Love is In The Hair, but I think it's clear we had an amazing experience, I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering hiring a top a H&MAU team for their big day, you will not be disappointed.

    I've never felt so good about myself in my life

    I’ve never felt so good about myself in my life. Michelle did my hair and makeup for our wedding in San Diego and she made magic happen. As someone with a tendency to shy away from wearing too much makeup, I was worried about not looking like myself on such an important day. I expressed this to Michelle, and she assured me that she specializes in natural looking makeup and that she can tailor the look to each client’s preferences.

    My expectations for what I would look like on my wedding day were surpassed by a long shot. Everyone was talking about my skin - how I was “glowing” and looked “radiant.” My mom, who has a tendency to be brutally honest when it comes to my appearance, couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful I looked. And my hair! I showed Michelle three photos from Pinterest and she created a work of art. I liked my hair more than the photos. I was originally planning to use extensions, but didn’t need them. Her technique was so elaborate; I couldn’t believe it was my own hair. The style went perfectly with my dress and the venue (a castle). My dad cried when first he saw me, and so did the groom. The best part is that I felt like myself, and yet I also felt like a queen the entire night (and everything stayed in place too).

    On a day that can sometimes bring a lot of stress, it was so great to have absolutely zero stress when it came to how I looked. I’m so grateful to Love is in the Hair. I can’t wait to see the photos.

    Michelle and her team are an amazing HAMU artist. They were so fun to work with.

    I had such a wonderful time working with Michelle. She was amazing. I love how she listened to what I wanted and gave me honest feedbacks about my vision of how I would look on my wedding day.
    First off, highly recommend that you do a trial first. I initially wasn’t planning to have one but after some convincing I decided to come in for a trial. My trial went well. I liked how I looked and I was so glad to meet Michelle. We got along really well. She had said that now she knows how my hair was she had some ideas for the wedding day. Also she told me to make sure to keep hydrated and keep my skin moisturized. Im so glad I listened to her.
    On my wedding day, I was expecting to have the same look but it turned out to be more than what I expected. Michelle had said that she was going to do some changes based on my feedback to her and that it would look great. I trusted her completely and I was not mistaken. She knows how my hair was and I got the look that I have envisioned with some added touch. The placement of my veil was perfect. My make up was amazing. I was going for a “glowy” look and light make up, sort of a no make up look. She was able to achieve that. My skin was glowing and she highlighted my features perfectly.
    She truly made me feel beautiful and I think thats what every bride want to feel on their wedding day.

    Also Michelle’s team were great. My mom who is always hard to please got off the make chair looking so happy and beautiful. They also did a great job on the rest if the bridal party.

    Michelle and her team are truly incredible to work with! From start to finish they were so professional, responsive, and dedicated to their work - I felt totally confident putting my hair and makeup in their hands for my wedding day. Beyond delivering gorgeous hair and makeup that lasted all night, they were so great at making my 6 bridesmaids, mother, and in-laws feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident on the morning of - some of my ladies aren't big on getting dolled up and were a little apprehensive going into the big day, but Michelle and her team made everyone in the room feel like a princess! Everyone was absolutely glowing and it made the day so perfect. If you have a chance to work with Love Is In the Hair, go for it - you won't regret it!

    I can’t thank Michelle and her amazing team enough for making my entire bridal party look absolutely gorgeous!! I had 10 bridesmaids and Michelle and her team were so professional and organized and scheduled everyone perfectly for the day!

My mom and mother-in-law looked so beautiful! Everyone on Michelle’s team is so talented and so very sweet. My entire bridal party looked like models thanks to Love Is In The Hair! I highly recommend them for any event!

    Michelle and her team are the absolute best hair and makeup artists I have ever worked with! I was in 9 weddings before my own and I am so grateful I chose Love is in the Hair for my wedding day. I have never met anyone who cares as much as Michelle does. She worked so incredibly hard to make sure my mom and I were happy on our trial day. She then not only made me feel even more beautiful on my wedding day, but she made my mom feel gorgeous as well as all my bridesmaids. My friends kept commenting on how talented Michelle and her team were. Michelle goes above and beyond to deliver. No matter what look you're going for Michelle and her team are the best choice! If I didn't live so far away I would want Michelle to do my hair and makeup for all my special events in life. Thank you Michelle, you and your team are amazing and made me and everyone else that day feel beautiful! Look no further and hire Love is in the Hair you will be a gorgeous bride with her by your side!

    Stefani and her team were phenomenal to work with on my wedding day. What stood out to me the most was her professionalism. There are a ton of great makeup/hair artists out there, (which Stefani is one of them), but to make a bride feel relaxed on her wedding day is an additional skill that is SO necessary. She was EARLY, had a perfected schedule in place, quick with responding to emails and texts, flexible with my trial run, and made me look like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. You can TRUST Stefani to bring her A game and I am so glad I booked Love Is In The Hair.

    You do not need to look any further- because Love is in the hair (Stefani and Michelle) are the dream team! These wonderful women are a true pleasure to work with and did an AMAZING job. They were professional, on time, and so prepared.
    They both are so sweet and they truly listen to what you're looking for (even in my case, where I originally had no idea). There is no pushiness, and no second guessing- these two are a true talent! I couldn't have been happier with my hair and make-up on my wedding day and would go back to them again in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor and book them now- worth every penny!

    Michelle and her team are incredible! I felt so lucky to have found them for my Lake Tahoe wedding. All of my girls, mother, and mother-in-law loved their looks on the big day! On the morning of, Michelle was so great at keeping me calm, relaxed, and helped me remember to have fun during all the chaos of a wedding morning. Everyone could not say enough good things about how beautiful I looked on my wedding day along with all my girls! Michelle created the look I envisioned for myself on my day and I couldn't have asked for anything more! Love Is In the Hair is AMAZING!!!

    Michelle and her team rock!!! From the get go, she was quick to respond to my emails, questions, etc. and to get on the phone with me to talk things out. I was reluctant to do a hair trial because of my budget, but I'm really glad that I did. Michelle really worked with me to figure out the right look and took my feedback warmly and executed it on wedding day! Her team was on time, warm and fun on the actual day. They rolled with all sorts of style requests from my bridesmaids and family members. We looked and felt amazing on my wedding day all thanks to the hard work and dedication of Michelle and her team. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in the area. She is extremely organized and uses top of the line products and equipment. Of all the people I spoke with when I was shopping around, I could tell from our conversations that Michelle was the best and she exceeded my expectations!

    I had the BEST experience with Michelle and Love is in the Hair! From the beginning, working with her was easy and fun. Our first phone call left me feeling like we were already best friends. The trial was great, she executed my vision and we spent almost two hours getting to know each other. But the best part was how she treated me and my wedding party on my wedding day. Michelle has a bright personality, she's super social and so sweet and even ended up buying jewelry from one of my bridesmaids, who has a jewelry business, because she loved it so much!! She spent the time to understand what each of the girls wanted done and they all looked stunning. Everyone was super happy with how their hair turned out and commented on how relaxed and fun getting ready was. I was so nervous about my hair because I completely changed the style on Michelle (and by completely I mean from all the way up to all the way down and with extensions to without extensions) but she reassured me in the weeks leading up to the wedding and I could not have been more happy with my hair that day. It was comfortable and classic, but also super unique and fit my style. The combination of beautiful hair and her energy and personality made me a very happy bride. I would recommend Love is in the Hair to any bride getting married in Tahoe. Miss you already!!

    Michelle did my hair & makeup for my June 15, 2017 wedding and photos looked amazing! Michelle was a pleasure to work with and she was very accommodating to all my request and changes. Originally, I was scheduled to go into her salon in Truckee but I was trying to get my bridesmaids to get services done so that Michelle could come on site which made it so much easier for me. I was finally able to get the girls to commit and by that time it was pretty late in the game and Michelle was so sweet about it, she even waived the service fee which I appreciated so very much! It's an 8 service minimum to go onsite which is a bit much but it all worked out well. I definitely recommend Love is in the Hair!

    I LOVE THESE GIRLS! Seriously the best! I have experienced other hair and makeup teams and these girls are by far the very best. My sister surprised me by scheduling them and i had no idea what to expect. I was really nervous about staying on schedule and they SHOWED UP EARLY :). Not only that, they were instantly part of our party and they did an amazing job on each of our hair and makeup. I even had one bridesmaid who was not part of the schedule and they were able to fit her in with no problem. I have had so many compliments on my hair and makeup and comments like "you had the prettiest bridesmaids". We all loved these girls and didnt want them to leave when they were done. Seriously, if you are looking for hair and makeup, do not waste your time. You will not find better than Love is in the Hair :)

    These ladies, Stefani and Michelle, will be your wedding hair and makeup dream team. First, they are amazing. Second, they listen. Third, they are wedding industry pros. Fourth, did I mention how amazing they are?

    Stefani did my hair and makeup for my destination wedding in Truckee. Their home base is Folsom, CA but they service a pretty wide area of Northern California (and they will travel farther!). We did my hair trial about 4 months prior to the wedding which is unusually early but I am an engineer and I plan in buffer time and make contingency plans. Stefani worked off of a few photos and my input about the venue (outdoor on a golf course), my dress, trends versus classic. In the end, we settled on a romantic up do. She also did a trial run for my makeup - I have extremely sensitive skin and a lot of random allergies. She was able to work around all of that. I never reacted to anything she used.

    Stylists will always tell you not to expect the exact same hairstyle (super close but not exact). Day of, Stefani improved on the trial. I didn't think that was possible (I walked out of the salon after the trial - makeup on but hair undone and dropped my fiancé's jaw).

    It was amazing. I loved the style and how everything turned out. She also dos my mother in law's hair and makeup. My MIL started to cry when she saw herself, she felt so beautiful (that led to the rest of us yelling "eyelashes!!!" At each other to help stop tears).

    Michelle did the hair for each of my bridesmaids. She did an initial chat with each and then played up their best features and helped find a style that suited each girl. Their hair turned out amazing. So many selfies were taken that day.

    Oh yeah, and they did at this at the vacation home we were renting for the wedding party. They literally brought the salon to us. I was super lucky that I found them. They are excellent!

    I worked with Michelle for the trial and my wedding, and all I can say is that she's AMAZING at her job! I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day! I had a large bridal party and our wedding morning had a packed hair and makeup schedule. Michelle coordinated with her team to arrive on time and get us out the door on schedule! Her team was so fun - we had a blast getting ready with them all - and equally attentive to how everyone wanted to look. I'd absolutely work with Michelle again - my makeup stayed on all day and night! Thank you for making me look like a princess!

    Had an amazing experience with Jenae, Michelle and team. They did the hair and makeup for the bridal party + me (the bride!). They were extremely easy to work with leading up to the event and professional and punctual on the big day! More than anything though, they are talented and experienced. My friends/bridesmaids have been in a lot of weddings and worked with a more than a few hair and makeup artists and thought that this team was extremely strong. Special shoutout to Jenae for coming up with the perfect hairstyle and beautiful wedding-day makeup!
