    Amazing hair stylist!!

    Stella is an amazing hair stylist!! We used her as our stylist for our wedding a few weeks ago and are so happy we did! First of all, she does an amazing job!! Second, she is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed on your wedding day! I was so happy with how my hair turned out and so were all my bridesmaids. Even my sister, who is normally so picky about her hair was thrilled with how it turned out, telling me she LOVED her hair and that my hair stylist is super talented. Stella also listened to the changes I made after the trial I had done. For example, I mentioned that there were a lot of pins in my head for the updo after my trial and I have a sensitive head so it hurt after awhile. I figured there was not much she could do to fix this as updos just tend to require a lot of pins, but she worked her magic and on my wedding day, there was no discomfort at all! I couldn't feel any of the pins and I loved how my up do came out. I can't recommend Stella enough!!

    Beautiful Wedding Hair

    Stella exceeded all my expectations at my bridal hair trial. She asked me a couple questions and then put together a hairstyle based on my answers that was absolutely perfect! During the wedding day she was very calm and easy going, which made for a nice stress-free morning. She has been in the wedding business for a long time so she was able to advise on hair styles and get us ready in record time!

    Stella is the best!

    Stella is an absolutely brilliant wedding hair stylist. I am completely blown away by her talent! Even as my hair started to fall (only slightly!) at the end of my wedding night, it looked even more beautiful. I completed two hair trials prior to my wedding on 6/3/23 and Stella was extremely accommodating. I felt as though she genuinely cared about me feeling confident and happy with my hair on the wedding day. In addition, she even included my mom in my first hair trial and gave her a hair trial as well. She was so kind, professional, timely, and approachable. I feel as though we truly found the best hair stylist for the big day. Thank you Stella!

    Amazing!!!

    Stella is amazing to work with!! Deciding how to wear my hair for my wedding day was stressing me out and I was very undecided. During our trial, Stella was able to help guide me and we tried out a few different looks until we decided on an absolutely beautiful style. ON my wedding day, she was so sweet and had a great calming presence that I did not feel stressed at all. She did a gorgeous floral placement on my hair as well – I was OBSESSED with how it turned out!! I was so lucky to be able to work with her and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!!

    Stella was the best!

    My husband & got married June 26, 2021 after multiple postponements. Through all the postponements, Stella was extremely understanding. I can’t believe I was blessed enough to keep her with all the date changes. On my wedding day Stella and her assistant did four bridesmaids hair, two mothers, and my hair. Stella & her assistant arrived to the venue on time & stuck to the timeline perfectly. Stella even made the hair and makeup timeline to take that stress off my shoulders. Stella is sooo talented and a true artist. She is professional, reliable, & very kind. Please don’t think twice. Hire Stella!! :)

    Stella is Stellar!!

    I found Stella after she was recommended to me by a makeup artist that I had already booked for our wedding. Her signature style is EVERYTHING. It is exactly what I had pictured for myself and my girls on my wedding day! Boho, braids, romance, softness, etc. Her Instagram is a treasure trove of inspiration. She is so creative and innovative - she can truly do anything! Stella is also a superb listener. She took a muddled vision that I had in my head and made it into the absolutely perfect wedding look. She and her assistant worked with all 7 of my bridesmaids and made all of them feel individual, beautiful, and elegant. Stella is also excellent at communication, replying in a timely and calm manner, which is so important when in the trenches of wedding planning. She radiates calm and confident energy. This was incredibly helpful when we had to postpone our wedding not once, but twice, due to Covid. Stella was accommodating, understanding, and exceptionally helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience with her, and I will always cherish the memories of getting ready that morning with Stella and my girls! If you do one thing for your wedding today, make sure it's BOOKING STELLA!!

    Dream Hair Stylist!

    Finding a hair stylist that you trust for the biggest day of your life is so hard. I must have spent hours searching online and then I stumbled across Stella and I KNEW she was the one and I had to have her. I stumbled across this insane braid on her instagram and was so excited for my big day! She truly is a miracle worker. I never felt more beautiful and confident as I did on my wedding day thanks to make makeup and hair stylists. From the minute I started working with Stella, I knew how lucky I was to have her as my hair stylist. She is responsive, and she is so passionate about what she does. Not to mention how extremely talented she is. She is so easy to work with. She made all of my bridesmaids and mom look so beautiful and she's just a pleasure to be around. Future brides, do yourself a favor and book Stella. You will not regret it and she will make you and your bridal party look absolutely stunning!  Not to mention she will become a friend. I'm so extremely lucky to have had her on my big day and have her create an insane braid for me. I got so many compliments!

    Creative hairstylist with amazing personality

    Stella is creative, adaptive and can accurately articulate your hairstyle vision. She is so special to us because we had many little girls to beautify on our wedding day and she treated those girls like princesses! She was punctual, considerate, and so easy going to work with when it came to all 3 generation of women on our wedding day. I felt so relaxed and confident in her skills that I felt super charged for our wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you Stella... from me my superstar Bollywood mom and all 3 of our princesses!

    We had a truly incredible experience with Stella for our wedding! She has now done wedding hair for multiple weddings in our family because we love her (and her work) so much! Stella made all the bridesmaids/family members look amazing and I absolutely loved how she did my bridal hair. Stella is so great at adjusting to preferences and making sure clients get exactly what they want. I would 100% recommend Stella to anyone looking for a fantastic hairstylist for their wedding or any other glam needs! Thanks so much Stella for such an amazing job!

    I was SO happy with Stella! She was absolutely fantastic. She was very quick and efficient, fun, polite, and confident. I went to her for a hair trial, and the questions she asked about my vision for what I wanted were few but effective. It took her about 45 min to complete my hair trial and it was PERFECT! I could not believe how quickly and seemingly effortlessly she put it together. We took some pictures of it, which she promptly sent me and then discussed the timeline.

    We chose to have her come to the venue, she does have a minimum amount if you do want her to come to you, but it was worth every penny! Everyone who had their hair done by her loved the results including myself! I can't recommend her enough. I really appreciated her prompt responsiveness over email as well as the amount of professionalism she displayed. Thank you so much Stella!!

    I was recommended to Stella through a makeup artist that I have been in correspondence with, and WOW… I am so elated that I was! Her trade mark style embodied everything I was looking for, casual, natural, elegant yet down to earth beauty. The moment I laid eyes on the opening photo on her website, I was enamored. Not only is she super talented and vast with her skills, she is amazingly sweet, fun, attentive, down to earth, collaborative, flexible, and knowledgeable.

    I was pretty indecisive about how I wanted my hair (amongst much more) for my wedding, whether or not I was going to have a veil, or clips, etc. and Stella didn’t put any pressure on me to decide in anyway. In fact, I believe she said “sometimes the hairstyle decides these things for you.”

    My trial with her was so comforting and put me at ease! Because I was so indecisive she started with a style which was primarily down, then a stylish side tail and lastly an elegant up do, all of which reflected the styles I had pinned on my Pinterest. All were exquisitely beautiful! I wanted all three styles! However, she was great in asking questions which did helped better narrow down the look I was wanting.

    Of course, on wedding day I threw her a big surprise and showed her a photo of what I wanted which was different than what we had talked about at the trial. She didn’t flinch an inch and nailed the style perfectly! Not only was she so adapt to take my last minute request, she and her colleague took the requests of all three of my bridesmaids on the day and each of them looked stunning. Each hair style was completely different yet equally gorgeous.

    I highly recommend Stella. If you want to look amazing for your wedding, or any event really, she is your gal! Thank you for making me and my bridesmaids look our best ever!

    Stella is AMAZING! My hair was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't have been happier. She arrived on time, is so sweet and helpful and even my bridesmaids who were worried about having their hair done because of some bad experiences being in other weddings LOVED their styles. NO cheesy wedding hair with Stella....she is so great but books up fast so I say contact her now!

    LOVED my hair! The bridesmaids (some of whom are VERY particular about their hair) LOVED their hair. My mom LOVED her hair. Stella is very gifted. You show her a photo of what you want and you get it! Whether you want a blow out or fancy up-do, or something in between, she just “gets” it and knows how to deliver. She makes hard work seem so effortless. She wants you to be 100% satisfied and it shows. Stella was also a joy to work with – very easy to talk to. This is VERY important because with a large party, you end up spending about 1/3 to ½ of your wedding day with the hair and makeup people and you want it to be fun and relaxing. She even went over-and-beyond and offered to help me create a hair and makeup schedule for the whole wedding party that I shared with everyone so they knew when to be where. And Stella was always prompt about emailing back, which I greatly appreciated. Could not have been happier with my choice. THANK YOU STELLA!

    Stella! Stella!! Alright, enough of the movie quotes. To be completely frank, Stella is rad, that’s all. After my regular hair gal was unavailable for my wedding, I was referred by my esthetician to Stella who thankfully had an opening for the weekend of my wedding. Stella was wonderful during all of the times that for us brides are as we say, “challenging” and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I felt and looked beautiful on our wedding day. Thank you so much Stella for everything you have done!

    Stella and I met on the day of my hair trial! My wedding planner set up the services with Stella. We visited her hair salon for my trial. I brought pictures of hairstyles I liked - but knew I did not have a picture of exactly what I wanted. I tried to articulate it as best as I could (not knowing hair!) and she made it come to life. I wanted the height of a french twist, with the loose feeling of curls and an up do. I wanted it to look classic but also casual. She figured it out and gave me exactly what I wanted and more! To accommodate my mother and matron of honor, Stella moved around her schedule for the wedding day and came to our hotel early. Stella and I were emailing/texting/communicating the day of the wedding about the details of where to meet, etc. She was responsive, punctual, sweet, complimentary and professional. As a business professional who attends formal work events, I understand just how tough it is to find someone who can do a gorgeous up do! Stella delivered. Not only for me, but for my mother (with short sassy hair) and my matron of honor with long thin hair. The hair styles were perfect, the ladies were happy and the compliments kept on coming on the wedding day and now that we got the pictures back! Stella and I have since stayed in contact and just like my makeup artist I hope to take her out for a thank you glass of whatever she wants! I wish she lived in Ohio - I would go there for every event. Definitely recommend Stella - book early because I bet she will be hard to get!

    I first heard of Stella through my matron of honor who had been helping me with finding various vendors to do my hair. As the wedding was a destination wedding, I thought that it would be extremely difficult to find one. After coming across Stella's information, I contacted her right away. She was very responsive, helpful, and very professional. We were able to schedule a hair trial while I was in town. I brought samples from magazines and described to her the style that I had envisioned. The result was AMAZING!

    On the wedding day, Stella arrived on time and did my hair beautifully (and it held up pretty well). She also did a couple of the bridesmaids' hair (with no previous trial) and both of them were also very happy with the results. Besides being the best at what she does, she was also such a pleasure to work with. With that said, I highly recommend Stella!

    Not sure what else I can say that hasn't been said already... Stella does great hair, but here are the things that I think differentiate her from the competition:

    1. VALUE. For a bridal updo that will last the entire day + evening, I couldn't find more affordable prices in the Sonoma area. Stella offers great service, so why pay more elsewhere? Also, I got a $30(?) discount off a trial run when I mentioned I found her on Project Wedding (go check out her information over there to see if it's still up).

    2. FLEXIBLE. You'd be surprised that there are some other hair stylists out there who don't like it when you change your mind about how you want your hair done... Stella encourages it and wants to make sure that you're 100% satisfied with how your hair comes out. Between the trial and even on the day of, we were able to hammer out the details exactly how I wanted my hair to be, and it looked absolutely perfect!

    warning: i will say that you should treat the trial as just that, a trial. it's a time for the hair stylist to figure out what works and what doesn't on your hair and it won't turn out exactly right. i was actually a little disappointed after the trial, but stella continued to email me back and forth to make sure we came up with a plan for the wedding. she will make sure you find something you're happy with as well!

    3. PERSONALITY. She's so calm and easy to talk to and puts you at ease on what could potentially be the most stressful day of your life. She even calmed me down and gave me a great tip on how to fix my nail polish when I totally ruined it the morning of...

    THANK YOU, STELLA!!!

    Stella was wonderful to work with! We are from out of state, so I didn't get to meet her until the morning of my wedding. She was very accomodating, came to where we were staying, and did hair and make-up for me and my bridesmaid. She was friendly, personable, and made us feel comfortable, while still being professional. She listened to what we wanted, and both of us loved our hair and make-up! I would highly recommend Stella!

    We just got married in Geyserville in November and Stella did an OUTSTANDING job with everything!! She had 8 appointments between myself, bridesmaids, and mothers, and everyone was so happy with their hair. They all looked beautiful at the wedding! Stella is also just a delight to work with - I did a trial run at her salon in Santa Rosa and ended up tweaking a few things on the day of the wedding. She did a great job of listening to everyone's ideas about how they wanted to look - and actually made them happen in a way that left everyone feeling great! If you're looking for someone to make you feel beautiful and perfect on your wedding day...stop looking because you found her!

    Stella was able to transform my vision into reality on my big day. I LOVED my hair for my wedding. It was exactly what I hoped for - even better.

    Stella is incredible to work with. She is patience, honest, professional, but really fun at the same time. I recommended her to my wedding planning and I recommend her to anyway who wants to look incredible for their wedding.

    Stella is absolutely amazing! She did such a wonderful job on my hair for my wedding, it was exactly what I wanted. She was extremely flexible by coming to me for the trial run as well as the day of the wedding. She did a great job on my mom and mother-in-laws' hair as well and was able to get everyone done in a very reasonable about of time. I usually am very picky when it comes to my hair and I can say she truly made me feel like a beautiful bride.
    Thank you Stella!

    Stella did an amazing job styling my hair for my wedding. She used my extensions, curled, and braided my hair. She was so attentive and professional. I was flying in from out of town and she was so flexible with me! I would highly highly recommend her to other brides. I am a makeup artist and work in the business myself; Stella is very talented and her prices are very reasonable!
