I met this boho babe back in August 2019 when she reached out to me asking if she could braid my hair for some social media photos. Of course I said yes! I was drawn to Bri's energy as she is laid back, easy to talk to, free spirited, and so sweet. She made me feel like we've been friends forever.
I wanted to share my experiences with Bri and show off her amazing work. If you are newly engaged, have a special occasion or event coming up and need someone to work magic on your hair, then just keep scrolling!
Bri did two different looks with me that day we met, one half up half down and the other in a low bun type style. Both were so pretty, I really loved the half up half down style because of how detailed she was with the braid! I loved the second style SO much that I hired Bri to braid my hair for my wedding reception that we had back here in Cincy! ( I had a destination wedding in wine country back in September!) For my reception, Bri did a twist on the half up half down with a fishtail braid, and it turned out amazing!
I was able to hang out with Bri again when she invited me to her event she was hosting back in November at 501 Salon & Spa! It was such a fun night with some gal pals; having mimosas, getting pampered, and getting our hair braided by Bri! Thank you for inviting me and hosting such a fun event!!
I felt so honored when Bri asked me a third time to come be a hair model for her, and this time I got to put my wedding gown back on! Needless to say, I was so excited because who doesn't want to put their wedding gown back on?! (this was now my third time wearing my dress because I did a 'styled shoot' the day after my wedding in the Redwoods with my sweet hubby and our photographer Alana Lindenfeld--more to come on that!) I got to work with three other beautiful ladies, and another amazing photographer, Mackenzie Frank. We shot at this hot new location that is SO pretty called Locust & Vine. We listened to music, chatted, did our makeup, all the fun girly things while Bri braided our hair. For this shoot, Bri was looking to do a low bun style on me, and let me say--I was all for it! I absolutely loved how it turned out! I felt so elegant, especially in my wedding gown. (I did a half up half down look on my wedding day!) I feel like having my hair up gave it a classy look too! Brittany, Corey, and Kaitlin's hair also turned out so beautifully, loved how we all had different looks! I kept saying how Corey is the modern day Elsa hehe seriously these girls are gorgeous!
These ladies are all amazing and I enjoyed hanging out and getting to know them! I can leave their IG handles here:
My dress is from Lovely Bride Cincinnati and the Designer is Lovers Society
My earrings are from Olive + Piper named Valentina

When Bri was braiding my hair at the event back in November, her and I were chatting and I noticed that she had changed her social media handle, she was telling me that she was ready to take the leap and do braiding full time. I have to say, I was so inspired by Bri and her passion for what she wants in life is so contagious. She is working her butt off working for something she loves. She is so talented and it shows in her work! You guys have heard me talk about Bri and her work on my social media, and I can't say enough great things! Her easy going personality makes it easy to feel comfortable and trust that you're about to look ahh may zing for the occasion!
Like I said earlier, if you are in the market for a hairstylist for your wedding, event, showers, etc. Bri is your girl! I forgot to mention that she also does makeup as well!
