Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence.

We are Cashmeir Bridal!!! An award winning, on-site team of hair stylists and makeup artists. We are passionate about our brides and even more passionate about our craft. We travel from East to West coast (and destination weddings too!), giving each bride the luxury experience she deserves on her wedding day. We can’t wait to meet you!

I’m a biracial bride with Type 3C curls, and I was adamant about wearing my natural hair on my wedding day. But I’ll be honest — I hadn’t let a professional touch my hair in over five years. Finding the right stylist was absolutely crucial for me; I wanted to be pampered on my wedding day, not stressed or forced to do my own hair. When I came across Cashmeir Bridal, I immediately noticed their Instagram was full of diversity! Brides of every race, skin tone, and hair type. That instantly had me interested. When I reached out, Cashmeir, the owner, was warm and communicative from the very beginning. I’m a nervous bride by nature, so I asked if I could speak directly with the stylist who would actually be doing my hair (since it wasn’t Cashmeir due to location), and she understood completely. She quickly connected me with Tangiah — and from our very first video call, over a year before my wedding, I felt totally at ease. Her daughter has the same hair type as mine, and she answered every single question thoughtfully and thoroughly. My trial was set for August, about a month before the wedding. But I’ll admit — I got nervous again! I reached out a few more times to make sure I was prepared, and both Cashmeir and Tangiah were so kind and patient. Tangiah even hopped on another call to walk me through what to bring and recommended extensions (which I now recommend EVERY curly-haired bride consider — especially if you deal with shrinkage!). It was a total game changer!! By the end of my trial, I couldn’t believe how beautiful my hair looked — it was truly the most stunning my natural curls have ever been. Tangiah is insanely talented at working with curls, and she worked quickly while still giving every detail attention. On the wedding day itself, she was a dream. My bridal party was incredibly diverse — from White girls with straight, fine hair to thick Asian hair to tight Dominican curls — and she made every single person look like they just walked off a runway. She was ahead of schedule, flexible with little requests, and her energy kept us all calm and happy. Personally, I’ve never felt more like myself. I didn’t have to change or straighten my hair to fit anyone’s idea of “bridal beauty.” Tangiah made me feel stunning exactly as I am. Beyond her incredible skill, Tangiah is warm, funny, and so personable. She had the best stories, kept us laughing all morning, and made the atmosphere feel like home. I’ve already saved her info for future events — that’s how much I loved working with her! And I can’t say enough about Cashmeir herself. Even when there was a small miscommunication about pricing and services, she handled it with complete professionalism, grace, and care. She was accommodating, ensured I was taken care of, and followed through on every promise. Whether you’re a curly-haired bride or not, hiring Cashmeir Bridal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without a single reservation. I’ve attached photos from both my trial and my wedding day so you can see how beautifully everything came together!
