“Michelle helped me out after my previous hair for my wedding cancelled on me fairly close to my wedding day! I had a large wedding party and she was flexible in working with another hair stylist on site to make sure all my girls looked and felt beautiful! Everyone LOVED their hair. Some even didn't know what they wanted and she gave great recommendations based on their hair. She went above and beyond when a couple of my girls who has their hair done by someone else off site didn’t love their hair, so she last minute helped them out and fixed it so they were happy with their hair! Cannot recommend Michelle enough!”

I love hair & feel incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates with me so perfectly.

“Solon De'Bleu's Brittany provided hair services for my wedding in June, 2016. She did an amazing job - doing my hair AND my 6 bridesmaid's hair by herself the morning of our wedding. Everyone looked fabulous and she gave everyone the unique style that they asked for. It was a 90 degree day, with no air-conditioning and our hair held all day. Brittany took away so much stress for me on the big day by being so easy to work with and professional.”
