Wedding Hair Styles with Our Hair & Makeup Members

Happy National Hair Day! What better way to celebrate than by spotlighting the artistry of hair and makeup in the world of weddings. In Santa Barbara, we are lucky to have an incredible community of talented beauty professionals who not only enhance a bride’s natural glow but also create looks that stand the test of time—both in person and in photos. From soft romantic waves to sleek updos, these styles are more than just trends; they are part of the story and memory of a couple’s special day.
To mark the occasion, we reached out to our wonderful hair and makeup vendors and asked them a fun question: “What is your favorite hairstyle you’ve done (and continue to do) and why?” They were kind enough to share both their notes and stunning photos, giving us a glimpse into the artistry and passion that goes into each look.
Dreamcatcher Artistry
From Leah, Dreamcatcher Artistry:
The half-up style is one of our absolute favorites for brides because it beautifully balances the best of both worlds. It offers the softness of wearing your hair down, while still providing the structure and security of an updo. This style frames the face, photographs beautifully from every angle, and holds accessories well like veils, pins, or flowers. It’s versatile enough to suit any dress neckline or hair texture, making it a timeless choice that feels both elegant and effortless.
