Hi, I’m Stacia I’ve been styling brides hair in Iowa since 2010 while I was still in school. I spent hours perfecting the bride’s look, and as I watched everything come together, I realized how much I loved the energy of weddings. The way hair can transform a person and complete their entire bridal look—there was something magical about it. Hair comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures, and I see it as a blank canvas to create a style that’s as unique as you are. Whether you want timeless elegance, romantic waves, or a soft boho vibe, I’ll bring your vision to life with care and attention to detail.

Stacia is truly amazing at her craft. She brings incredible depth and attention to detail in everything she does, and most importantly, she really connects with her clients. Her work isn’t just beautiful—it reflects the care, communication, and effort she consistently puts in. Working alongside her is always a pleasure. Her kit is meticulously organized, clean, and extremely sanitary. She uses high-quality products made with natural ingredients, which I really appreciate. She even brings an air purifier with a fan to help clear the air from product fog—which I know my lungs are grateful for! Stacia is a true professional, and it shows in every aspect of her work.

I am a Bridal Hair Stylist based out of West Des Moines! Styling hair is my passion along with everything that comes with being a Bridal Hairstylist. The busy mornings, laughter among friends/family, traveling to different venues- I love it all!

Marissa was fantastic!! She was so easy to work with, flexible, and friendly. I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair, but she gave me a frizz free look without making my hair crunchy or stiff from product. My half up-do was super comfortable and stayed all night with no issues, even after taking my cathedral length veil out. She added a great vibe to the room getting ready and I knew from my trial that I didn’t need to worry about hair at all. Everyone else loved her work as well, she was super knowledgeable and confident in whipping up hairstyles the day of for the bridesmaids and my mom. She even worked with my maid of honor’s natural curls to touch them up and add a little style. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy! She’s the person you want with you, laughing and singing along to your pre wedding playlist helping you get ready and look amazing on your big day! 100% recommend!

On the wedding day, the makeup application was gorgeous and exceeded my expectations. Sexy Visage truly is a sweet and genuine business, and I could tell the owner cared deeply about making me and the other brides she works with feel special and informed throughout the process.

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.

Brit did an updo for my wedding for myself & maid of honor. She came to my location which made my day way easier with scheduling! She did our hair better then I could have imagined! It held up the whole night of dancing & sweating. She is so confident in her work & knows exactly how to do what you want in a very timely manner. Honestly, having her made all the anxiety of “the perfect hair” completely go away. I am so thankful I hired her!
