Bridal and event hair, York, Pennsylvania

One stylist for your whole wedding morning

Updos, braids and soft waves for brides and their parties, styled at your venue after a trial in my studio. Dates book months ahead, and I take one party on a date. Now taking inquiries for dates later this year and next.

  • One stylist for every look
  • Up to six looks: the bride and her party
  • On location around York
  • A trial in the studio first

The path

From first message to wedding morning

Four steps, in this order, and nothing is left for the day itself.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Inquiry

    Send your date, venue, party size and a few photographs of looks you like. I reply within two business days to say whether the date is open.

    • One message, no obligation

  2. 02

    Step 2: Trial

    A full appointment in the studio. We try the look, test your veil or headpiece, and adjust until it sits right with your dress and your face.

    • About two hours

  3. 03

    Step 3: Contract and deposit

    A written contract names the date, the party, the start time and the travel. A deposit holds the date and goes toward your total.

    • Signed after the trial

  4. 04

    Step 4: Wedding morning

    I arrive at the time we set, set up by a window, and style the party in the order we planned. The bride is finished last.

    • On location, on time

What I style

Durations are for one person. The trial comes first for the bride, and a contract holds the date.

The bride

Every bridal look starts with a trial.

  • Bridal updo

    90–120 min

    Twisted, rolled or pinned up around your veil, your neckline and the way you wear your hair on an ordinary day.

  • Half-up styles

    60–90 min

    Waves or curls with the top pinned back, set to keep their shape through the photographs.

The party

Styled at your venue, in the order we plan.

  • Bridesmaid styling

    45–60 min

    An updo, half-up style or waves, matched across the party so the photographs read as one.

    Deposit to book
    Book: Bridesmaid styling
  • Mothers and grandmothers

    45–60 min

    A soft updo or a polished set of waves, sized to the time you have and the hair you have.

  • Blowout and curls

    30–45 min

    A smooth blowout or loose curls for anyone who wants her hair done but not pinned up.

Prices come from the look, the size of the party and the travel. You have them in writing before you sign.

Your stylist

Manisha Panchal

I style hair for weddings and the days around them, and I work alone.

The person you meet at the trial is the person at your door on the morning. I plan the order of a wedding morning all year: who sits first, when the veil goes in, when the photographer arrives. You get all of that written down before the day.

Kind words

From brides and their parties

“At the trial she pinned my veil three different ways until it sat right. On the morning she knew who sat when, and nobody waited.”

Emmaline R.Bride

“She had a plan for six of us and kept to it. I was holding my bouquet with my hair done before I knew it.”

Kiersten B.Maid of honor

“I don't sit still well, and she made it easy. My hair was still in place at midnight.”

Rachelle T.Mother of the bride
