Stephanie is a genius!!

Stephanie came highly recommended and I can honestly say she is a genius with bridal up-dos! She used a two-dimensional picture from a phone and turned it into a piece of art. I loved how excited she got while she was creating my hair design. She incorporated some great texture to really make the style unique and make it stand out. I received so many compliments on my wedding day! You can tell she truly loves what she does.

Her team was fabulous on the day of as well. They showed up bright and early to make sure all my ladies could get the hair style they wanted - I LOVE that are mobile!! They are all super talented and very friendly as well. They were great to chat with as we were getting ready.
Thank you Steph for helping me to feel beautiful on my wedding day!!

Amazing work!

I was totally satisfied with Angeline Sykes as my wedding day stylist! The hair looked perfect, she really worked with what I asked for and she accomodated my questions/concerns on the day of, which put my mind at ease. She also had a very outgoing and pleasant vibe during the morning that made all my ladies feel so comfortable! Would definitely recommend!

Stephanie is your girl!

Stephanie did my hair and my maid of honor’s hair for my December wedding. She made the whole process - from emailed questions, easy paperwork, setting up a trial - all painless. She was very flexible when I ended up needing to change our location to get our hair done, which was so appreciated!

And of course, she did some amazing stuff with our hair!! I got lots of complements all day and that hair lasted well beyond the last dance of the night. Stephanie is so talented. My maid of honour said it was her favourite hair style she’s ever had as part of a wedding party. That’s saying something!

Plus, Stephanie is cool. She’s down to earth, real, and a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sometimes feel a bit over the top. I’d highly, highly recommend her!

Gorgeous hair and professional service, would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience with Richardon Hair Design. Stephanie was a pleasure to deal with for booking and coordinating. I was really hoping to book Stephanie based on her amazing work at a friend's wedding. I was disappointed that she was already committed to another wedding that day and so went with another one of her stylists, Angeline. Angeline is a hair wizard! She did hair for myself plus 5 ladies and each of us were thrilled (especially me!). It was so great that she did a complementary trial (on a Sunday morning to fit my schedule), and based on feedback from the trial, my hair was better than perfect on my wedding day. I was a little nervous that one hair stylist wouldn't be able to get all of us done in such a short time, but Angeline was so efficient and had us all done with time for touch ups and more to spare! Bonus - my hair stayed flawless all night after a very sweaty dance party. Would highly recommend!

Loved my hair

I really loved how my hair turned out. Steph accommodated my floral headpiece which was great. Only way to improve would be to communicate more before the big day as sometimes it took a week to hear back when I emailed Steph.
