    Wonderful to work with!

    Mindy and Michelle were a great choice for my hair and make up! From the trials to the day of, they were friendly and professional. I’m not a hair and make up kind of girl, so I wasn’t really sure what would work best for me, but they made it happen! They also did my mom and sisters hair and make up and had us ready on time, even though that meant a very early morning for them. My hair and make up stayed in place from 9am until 3am the next morning!

    Mindy Whalen Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you so much Jessica for taking the time to write a review. You looked beautiful and Michelle and I enjoyed chatting with you, your mom and sister. I really like your new house too. I wish you all the best.

    Great Hair!

    Mindy did really well with my bridesmaids and my hair! All my bridesmaids had different hair and she did amazing on each of them - everyone loved it! My bridal hairdo was also amazing - she really worked with me during the hair trial to capture exactly what I was envisioning. Thank you for make me look beautiful on my wedding day!

    Mindy Whalen Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you for the lovely review Marianne. You and your bridesmaids were a pleasure to work with and I loved your dress and the green bridesmaids dresses. So Pretty. Best wishes to you going forward.

    Mindy is amazing!

    I was struggling to find a hair/makeup artist that would not break the bank, but would provide quality service. I didn't want my bridesmaids to have to spend a lot of money as they were already traveling far for our wedding. Then, I stumbled across Mindy on Wedding Wire!

    From the moment we had our first conversation I knew she would be the person I hired! I also didn't have a makeup artist and she recommended Michele (her partner) for that!

    Mindy was so flexible with scheduling my trial & she was so personable. Booking her was so easy and there were no hidden fees! Everything was laid out so nicely I didn't have to worry. Mindy knew exactly what she needed to do to bring my vision to life and she also did my bridesmaids/mother's hair! She was willing to do whatever style anyone wanted and was super fast! But, she didn't let quality drop because of timing- Everyone looked amazing! I made a few changes to my style the morning of the wedding and Mindy was super great about it!

    I am so beyond thankful to have found Mindy and even more happy that I used her on my wedding day! I 100% trusted Mindy! I highly recommend her for all your wedding hair needs- she's the best!

    Mindy Whalen Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you Jessica! You and your bridesmaids were so much fun and I enjoyed working with you. Best wishes going forward.

    Mindy is wonderful!

    Mindy is wonderful to work with and helped bring my vision come to life! She knew how to work with my hair length and texture and even recommended a few hair pieces that would go with my wedding outfit. She did my hair as well as all the bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. She was also very gracious to take on one more family member the day of the wedding because they liked her work and special touch. I highly recommend Mindy.

    Mindy Whalen Hair Design's reply:

    Thanks Tiffany ! I loved working with you and your friends and family . Hope you have a wonderful married life .

    Mindy is great and fast!

    Mindy has been amazing throughout the whole experience of being a Covid bride. She was beyond flexible with the three dates we had to reschedule. She is willing to do whatever style and all my ladies looked amazing. She is so great and you can’t go wrong booking her for your big day.

    hair goals

    Love Mindy and am so so happy that I was able to use her on my wedding day! She knows what you want better than you do :) I decided to make some changes to my wedding day hair style after the trial and on the day of Mindy nailed it without any hesitation. She puts her own touch on things to make your hair unique and flattering. She also worked on 11 others in my bridal party in a short amount of a time, all of them looking flawless and set for the hot day ahead. I felt comfortable and trusted Mindy, she definitely knows best. Highly recommend!

    Excellent hair styling!

    Mindy was great- while getting my hair trial done at her studio we talked about color hair extensions. when I brought them with me the day of the wedding, she effortlessly weaved them into my hair and it was beautiful. She did SUCH a beautiful job with all my girls as well. She's so sweet and has such amazing artistry! She really knows how to create whatever look you're going for! Thank you Mindy!

    Mindy is a dream!

    Mindy provided hairstyling for my friend's wedding in 2015, for which I was MOH. My profuse but very fine and limp hair HATES holding a curl, and she got it to hold up for that wedding for hours and hours. I knew I had to use her for my own wedding when the time came, and I'm glad I did! Mindy is a sweetheart and she was so great at creating a variety of beautiful hairstyles based on the photos my bridesmaids and I provided to her. We all wanted something different, and she created gorgeous results for every lady! We worked together to decide on my hairstyle based on a handful of inspiration photos I couldn't decide between - I was looking for something with curls and braids but not too restrained or messy. What she created was absolutely perfect! She was easily able to incorporate a hairpiece I purchased, and helped show my mom how to attach my veil before the ceremony. I truly loved my wedding hair, and it held up wonderfully all night, including through a lot of dancing to nostalgic 90s music. She simply does great work!

    Thank you so much for this lovely review Nicole !
    It was great to see you all and so much fun .

    Recommend highly!

    First off, congratulations to all the brides out there planning their wedding! My husband and I just got married and the whole day was a dream. I worked with Mindy and couldn't have been happier. I'm the kind of person to put my hair in a pony tail or just wear it down so I had no idea what I wanted for my wedding day hair. I showed Mindy my dress and she knew exactly what to do. She also recommended some hair pieces that would compliment the hairstyle. When finally done, I felt beautiful! My bridesmaids also loved their hair on the day of and we received a lot of compliments throughout the day. Good luck planning the wedding! You will be in good hands with Mindy

    Beautiful Wedding Hair

    After my very first email exchange with Mindy I knew I was in good hands. Mindy was professional and always responded quickly. On the day of our wedding she arrived early and eager to jump in! As a bride, I really appreciated this small detail. Because of Mindy, hair was done well before my original deadline and I walked down the aisle on time!

    Mindy was willing to listen to all of my ideas and ensured I was happy with my hairstyle. She went above and beyond my expectations. Every bridesmaid, plus moms and flower girl had unique hairstyles.

    Additionally, Mindy was incredibly laid back and kept myself and my bridesmaids calm. Every bride knows this is so important!

    I highly recommend Mindy for your special event or wedding day!

    Mindy did a phenomenal job on everyone’s hair the day of! She is able to replicate any style. Mindy is sweet, calm and caring and I knew immediately I could both trust her creativity and enjoy spending time with her the day of my wedding! Lots of guests commented on how beautifully our hair was and how it stayed all night long! I loved working with Mindy and I would recommend her to anyone!

    Mindy and her assistant Jessica were a pleasure to work with. She was prompt, professional, and flexible with last minute additions. Mindy also made a special trip in to Annapolis for my trial in order to accommodate the day that worked best for me. Most importantly, she did a great job with everyone’s hair!
