    The best choice I could have made!

    I am SO grateful to have been paired with Sarah for my wedding hair. Sarah is easy-going, kind, and INCREDIBLY talented. At my bridal trial/preview, she was receptive to my desires and feedback. I have a lot of very thick hair, and Sarah was able to seamlessly execute my wedding hair goals beautifully! She helped make me feel so confident on my wedding day. We were on the dance floor all night long, and my hair stayed super securely in its bun. Jenn, the second stylist, was also amazing. They worked so well together, and were efficient, fun, and talented. So so so grateful!

    Loved Ariel & team!

    Loved working with Ariel & team and LOVED my wedding day hair! I was the type of bride who was unsure of exactly what I'd want, but at my trial we figured it out and it was so relieving to not only have one less thing to worry about, but to be excited about. Ariel was also flexible on scheduling my trial since I live out of town. On wedding day the style was replicated perfectly and the bun held all day and night through heat and humidity - I didn't even have to think about it. My bridesmaids also looked amazing! Definitely recommend Ariel & team!

    Couldn't be happier!

    Loved my experience with Ariel Katrina Hair and my stylist Sarah! AKH was very organized and responsive to any questions I had. Sarah was able to create a unique look with me that I LOVED without much guidance. I felt gorgeous! She was grounded, flexible and kind when I really needed it! And very talented - everyone’s hair looked better than we all could have dreamed! We had a wide range of ages and hair textures (ages 20’s - 80’s, thin to thick to curly hair) and each style held up all night despite the warm, humid June weather. Was a fantastic experience all around, could not recommend more.

    Fantastic!

    I booked Ariel through a family friend recommendation and I am so happy I did! I booked with them about a year out from our wedding date and even though I booked early Ariel was great with communicating and answering any questions I had throughout the process. I also did a hair trial with Ariel and on the wedding day, I switched up my hair style completely and she had no problems with it! All my girls LOVED their hair and Ariel and her team were great, kind and patient with the two flower girls. I would highly recommend them to any future brides!

    Ariel was awesome! So happy with my wedding hair

    Ariel was so great to work with; super warm, fun, easygoing and very professional! I wanted my wedding hair to feel like me but with some extra flair and she really delivered. I often wear my hair half up, we ended up finding this fantastic french 60s era half up hairstyle and she pulled it off (in a modern way) perfectly! Highly recommend :)

    Bridal Bad-Ass Pony

    I got my bridal hair done by Ariel. I didn't even do a trial with her before I booked, because of what I saw on her Instagram. The photos speak for themselves! I did a big curly ponytail with long extensions. During the bridal trial, I bought one set of extensions and the hair looked awesome, but I thought it may be better with longer ones. At the wedding, I brought 18-inch extensions and it made for the most chic, beautiful, and amazing hair, I've ever had in my life. Ariel uses really awesome hair products that smell unreal - how do I get my hands on that hairspray?! Prior to the wedding, Ariel communicated a timeline with me and things pretty much ran themselves from there. Ariel is super punctual and arrived at my hotel room an early 6:00 AM with everything she needed. Aside from being an awesome stylist, she is a pleasant person to be around! When you're spending an entire morning with someone, it's important to find someone you like to be around! All of my girls looked fantastic as well! That day, they came to her with styles in mind and she executed them flawlessly. Ariel did my hair at about 10 AM, and it did not move an inch. I looked exactly the same at midnight as I did that morning. I wish I could write more, but her work speaks for itself. THANK YOU Ariel for turning me from girl with a bad-ass ponytail to bride - I've never felt more beautiful!

    Talented & lovely stylists!

    I booked Ariel Katrina for my wedding based on their Instagram and I am so glad that I did! Megan was one of my favorite vendors and was an absolute dream to work with! She really took her time during my trial, showing me different size/style of curls, and talking me through all of the options. I loved my trial but I somehow loved it more on my actual wedding day. Megan and Margo are true professionals, talented, and overall lovely to work with. One of my bridesmaids even booked them for her upcoming wedding after seeing their work live! Don’t hesitate to book Ariel Katrina for any event!

    Ariel and her Team are AMAZING

    Ariel Katrina hair was everything and more! I had 10 total bridesmaids and myself needing to get our hair done. Ariel and her team were efficient and all the girls were done in a timely manner. Her team is so professional and talented. Our hair stayed in all night with no touch ups needed. Ariel gave me my dream look for my wedding. I Highly recommend her and her team!!

    The Best!!! 11/10

    Ariel and her team were amazing to work with!! She came highly recommended and truly went above and beyond! They showed up on time and moved through the group efficiently so we stayed on time for photos! I had a vision for what I wanted and she made me feel so beautiful for my day!!! My hair lasted the entire night and looked perfect for photos! She also crushed 11 totally different styles along side Sarah for my bridal party, mom and MIL! Everyone loved their hair. CAN’T RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!

    Amazing- Highly Recommend!

    This is a long overdue glowing review for Ariel Katrina Hair! Chelsey was my stylist and I just cannot say enough wonderful things about her. We clicked from the moment we met at my trial. Chelsey is so kind and listened to exactly what I wanted for my bridal hair. I switched things up slightly on my actual wedding day and again, Chelsey just nailed it! My hair was perfection. She was accompanied by Megan on my wedding day and everyone also loved Megan! Both were just so much fun and a great presence during hair and make-up. Everyone had so much fun. From our Moms to the bridesmaids to my little nieces...we all looked gorgeous thanks to them. I cannot thank Chelsey and Megan enough! Highly recommend!

    Amazing work!!

    I would highly recommend Ariel Katrina for anyone needing their hair done. We worked with Ariel and Georgie for our wedding and they both were amazing. They made everyone look absolutely wonderful and just do amazing work. They are so easy to talk to and listen to what you want done. They are amazing!

    Ariel Katrina Hair is the BEST!

    One of the best decisions I made during the wedding process was working with Ariel Katrina Hair. I had the pleasure of working with Ariel and Georgie on my wedding day, and cannot say enough good things about them. I had my wedding trial with Ariel about 6 months before my wedding date, and I immediately felt at ease with her. She is professional in every way, while also making you feel like a friend. When my wedding day arrived, Ariel and Georgie were absolute dreams to work with. Our wedding party consisted of 4 young girls, and they were both so accommodating with all of the children. They also listened to what each adult wanted, and brought everyone's vision to life. On my wedding day, I decided to go with a look that was nothing like what we had worked on during my trial. Ariel showed no frustration or annoyance with my changing plan, and just went with the flow. I have never felt so beautiful in my life. Another amazing bonus - my hair ALWAYS falls out. I knew this was a huge risk when I decided that I wanted to wear my hair down, but it was just the look I wanted. Ariel somehow managed to fix my hair so that it didn't fall out the entire night despite that we were on a windy rooftop. She is a miracle-worker! 1000000% recommend Ariel and her team! They are simply the best!

    Absolutely PERFECT!

    I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Ariel Katrina for your big day :) I worked closely with Chelsey for my bridal hair & honestly everything was absolutely PERFECT. It also helped that Chelsey is extremely kind, patient, friendly & knowledgable. I wasn't sure exactly the look I was going for but after a vague description she truly perfected it beyond what I could have imagined. Kate also joined on the big day & she was truly just as incredible. The process was very smooth & stress-free. Thank you to the Ariel Katrina team, especially Chelsey & Kate, for a perfect morning :) I am so grateful to you!!

    Amazing!!!

    Please book with Ariel Katrina Hair, you won't regret it. Ariel, the owner was so professional whenever I spoke with her, a true sweetheart as well. Megan Hunter of Ariel Katrina did my hair for my wedding day. I have no words to even begin to describe how stunning my hair came out. I received so many compliments, many of them being from men! LOL. People were mesmerized, as was I! My hair pretty much stayed intact the entire day/night. Megan was lovely and easy to work with. I wanted a very specific style and Megan absolutely nailed it. She was so dedicated to making me feel amazing on my wedding day. Look no further and book with Ariel Katrina Hair for you big day.

    Hire Ariel for your wedding!

    I couldn’t have imagined a better person to do my hair for my wedding. I explained a vision and it came out better then I could have imagined. Ariel was not only wonderful to work with, but made me look amazing. Her and her team were on time, professional and an absolute dream. We all received complements all night on our hair! Definitely book with Ariel!!!

    Ariel is truly the best there is!

    Ariel-OMG! What a true talent. Ariel is incredible at what she does and is such a positive light through everything. I booked Ariel for my wedding on 12/11/21 for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms for hair services. From initial inquiry, she was so responsive and kind, answering all of my questions and connecting for a preliminary call before I decided to book. Her and her assistant, Mary, were always able to answer any of my questions, provide recommendations and make adjustments to the hair schedule as we got closer to the day of.

    I went to her studio for my hair trial about 3 months before and was able to meet her in person before the wedding. She is so positive and up for anything! I immediately thought of her as a friend. On top of being such a kind and genuine person, she is a true magician when it comes to hair!

    On the day of, she and her 2nd stylist Megan arrived and were so great to my girls. Some had photos for inspiration, and some just communicated a vision, some didn't have an idea at all of what they wanted. Watching them work with anything was so impressive. They took all of it and made them all so beautiful, joked and laughed with us all morning, and stayed ahead of schedule! They made our morning of getting ready so relaxing and fun, on top of making us look and feel our best.

    I am so grateful for Ariel and her work! I would hire her any chance I get!

    Book Them Now!

    Chelsey and Megan from Ariel Katrina Hair did the hair for my recent wedding and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Both Chelsey and Megan are true artists and me, all of my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law all loved how their hair turned out. Chelsey did my hair and it turned out even more beautiful than it did at the trial, which I didn't think was possible since I loved it so much then! Chelsey and Megan were both such a pleasure to work with the day of the wedding and it was so fun to have them as a part of our day. They arrived right on time and were even running ahead of schedule at one point, which allowed everyone to get some extra final touch-ups before pictures started. Aside from the amazing experience with Chelsey and Megan, working with Ariel Katrina Hair was a such a seamless experience from start to finish, even after having to postpone our wedding from 2020 go 2021 due to COVID. The team was responsive, professional, friendly, and overall just a pleasure working with. I truly could not recommend Ariel Katrina Hair enough, especially having Chelsey and Megan as your stylists!

    Loved working with Ariel and her team so much! Ariel is a total sweetheart and we had so much fun with her on my wedding day.

    So grateful for Chelsey!

    Chelsey made my wedding hair dreams come true! From the first time I saw her work, I knew she had a gift. I am SO grateful I got to experience her beautiful expertise myself! I literally gasped when I saw the finished look. I have crazy curly hair, brought a sparkly comb accessory AND used extensions, but for Chelsey that was no big deal. She crafted an elegant low side swoop pony that flattered my face and made me feel like a total royal. I really appreciated the collaborative process with her. Chelsey listened to my dream vision and made it a reality! Not only did she execute flawlessly, she was also incredibly kind and genuinely cared. We had amazing conversations during my trial and also during wedding prep. My Mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law loved her work on them as well! We are all grateful for this incredible artist. And I can’t recommend her and Ariel Katrina Hair enough for your special event too.

    wedding hair style

    Where do I even start.. working with Ariel was an absolute dream! She was the sweetest and everyone of my bridesmaids loved her. She had Cass along with her and she was equally as great. I would give Ariel and her team an 11/10- she made my hair dream for my wedding come true, and I got so many compliments the whole night! I even had Ariel switch up my hair style after the trial and it came out picture perfect!! Thank you Ariel, I am forever grateful for you and your team!!

    Chelsey Is Amazing!

    Absolutely LOVE Chelsey of Ariel Katrina Hair ❤️ Not only is she incredibly talented, but you seriously feel like you are chatting with your close friend, which is exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day! Chelsey is so sweet and lovely! Chelsey did my hair for my May 30th wedding, along with 4 other members of my bridal party, who all looked incredible! She really listened to what each person wanted, and also offered touch ups before leaving! I seriously can't recommend her enough, even through off and on misting rain, as well as sweating on the dance floor, my hair held up the entire night! Seriously, I would without a doubt hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking in a heartbeat! Thank you again!

    Ariel and Chelsey are so sweet and talented!

    Ariel and Chelsey did hair for myself, my mom, and 6 bridesmaids for my wedding day. They were so friendly and sweet and what really sold me was Ariel being so accommodating for my trial. Because of Covid, she didn't have many open slots for trials, and she knew it was very important for me to have my mom do a trial as well. She came in even earlier than her scheduled trials to make sure my mom would be able to do one as well. I was having a very hard time with my makeup artist during the time of my trial and she gave her professional advice and also gave me great recommendations for other makeup artists as well. Every single one of my bridesmaids loved their hair and I was in love with mine as well! I would honestly do another trial with her just to have my hair done again! Great experience and will recommend both her and Chelsey to all of my PA and Jersey friends!

    We worked with Chelsea for my wedding and she was absolutely incredible. As it was a #covidwedding, we felt incredibly safe with the protocols Ariel Katrina has in place. Both my mom and I loved our hair and kept saying we wish Chelsea could style our hair daily. I would recommend Chelsea a thousand times over.
