“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!”
