“I have had Michelle do my hair for 3 years so when it came time for my wedding hair, I knew exactly who to call. Michelle asked me what I was wanting my updo to look like in a consultation and got to work with my hair in a practice session. She nailed my hair just how I wanted it and when it came to the big day I had so much confidence in her abilities to make it look flawless. Michelle knew exactly how long it would take for her to do my hair and my bridesmaids, so the day flowed together very well. My hair held together all day which is huge for me considering it's very thick heavy hair. I recommend adding Michelle to your wedding day and any other day if you're looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, magic worker!”

Salon De’Bleu

  • Starts at $95
  • Serves Altoona, IA

A professional salon owner & stylist for 11 years, I have used hair as my canvas, bringing a distinctive aesthetic & fresh approach to draw out each client’s unique beauty. Hair is my art & I love the process of transforming someone from start to finish.I understood from an early age that hair is not just an accessory; that great hair is the key to feeling beautiful. Mastering skills in wedding styling, It’s my personal goal to continue to grow & excel in my craft and to ultimately share with my clients all I've learned & can achieve for them. I love hair & feel incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates with me so perfectly.

“I have known Brittany for a long, long time and was thrilled to have her style my hair for my wedding. She is super professional, creative, and experienced. She will work with your vision to come up with a unique style that complements you and your wedding vibe in the best ways. My absolute favorite part was not having to worry AT ALL about how my hair would turn out. During the trial, she will make sure you absolutely love you hair before sending you home. It was such a relief to leave knowing what to expect on the wedding day and that we were both prepared. There are plenty of other things to be stressed about leading up to your wedding but Brit has you covered in the hair department. I recommend her 10/10!”
