Soft, textured styles catered to highlight your bridal dreams

The Experience

Styling that feels effortless — because I sweat the details

From a relaxed bridal trial to a calm, on-time wedding morning, I bring a steady hand and a clear plan. Expect lived-in waves, delicate braids, and pinned-back styles that photograph beautifully and hold all day and night.

I travel to your location for getting-ready — from Red Deer across Central Alberta and beyond — so you and your bridal party can relax while I take care of the rest.

  • ✦ On-location styling for bride & bridal party
  • ✦ Optional bridal trial before the day
  • ✦ Boho textures: waves, braids, romantic up-dos
  • ✦ Available Monday through Saturday (no Sundays)

Wedding Hair Pricing

Everything listed, nothing hidden. Raya updates these prices each year.

How the minimum works: A booking covers a minimum of 4 people (including the bride). Smaller groups are welcome — there’s simply a per-style fee for each unfilled spot below the minimum, so an intimate morning is still absolutely bookable.

A travel fee applies to every booking, based on your location. Your full custom quote comes with Raya’s reply to your inquiry.

Worth Every Penny

Your bridal trial

Trials are a service not worth missing out on. For $100 you get the chance to test out two or three different styles on your own hair, in my home studio. Trials usually take up to two hours — and I’m always willing to stay longer to nail down a style you feel beautiful in.

All you need to bring: clean, dry hair, a little makeup on, a white top, and the inspiration photos you’re hoping to try. Don’t worry about traveling with your veil and risking wear and tear — I have a veil we can test with your look.

  • ✦ 2–3 styles tested on your own hair
  • ✦ Up to 2 hours — longer if we need it
  • ✦ Optional, and highly recommended
  • ✦ $100, paid upfront — separate from your wedding-day total
