Hair that looks like you, on the day you’re photographed most.

Jackie does wedding hair for couples and the people standing next to them. No bride menu. No groom menu.

Most wedding hair is built for one kind of wedding.

You’ve seen the photos. A style that belongs to someone else, hair sorted into “bridal” or “groom” before anyone asked what you wanted, a stylist who treats your texture or your short crop as a problem to manage.

You shouldn’t have to explain yourself to t he person doing your hair on such an important day.

“I hired Jackie to do hair for my wedding and they were amazing… they did a bunch of different styles for my wedding party, across different textures and ages, and everyone loved how their hair turned out… it was such a joy to find a queer stylist who was supportive and affirming for our very queer wedding, and I can’t recommend them enough!”

Jackie is a queer, non-binary cosmetologist and barber (they/she) with 16 years behind the chair and weddings since 2020. Short hair doesn’t scare Jackie. Neither do tapered napes, undercuts that want to be hidden, textured curls, or a style that needs to look deliberate in photos. Jackie asks your pronouns, uses them, and starts from how you want to feel in the mirror.

“Jackie brought such a calm and welcoming vibe to our wedding day (which was more than needed) and it wouldn’t have been the same without them being such a huge part of our day.”

What it looks like when it works

You see the photos and you recognize yourself. Your hair held through the ceremony, the dance floor, and the last song. Everyone you love got the same care, and nobody was shoved into a box.

Wedding photos last decades. You can spend the day wondering whether the hair looks like you, or you can book with Jackie.
