Kind words

Top Knot is the dream team. Lisa, Chrissy, and Shannon were so wonderful to work with on my wedding day. My hair and make-up was everything I imagined – stunning! My bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law all had their hair and make-up done, and they looked absolutely gorgeous. Everyone was glowing!

Lisa has been my hairdresser at Top Knot for 1.5 years, and she is amazing! I was lucky to work with Lisa for months on my colour and matching my extensions perfectly for my wedding day. She knew what would work well with my hair, and she nailed it. My hair doesn’t usually hold very well, but on my wedding day it still looked perfect 12 hours later!

Everyone on the Top Knot team is a true master at their craft. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day (and any other occasion)

I chose to have TopKnot take care of my hair and makeup for the special day... best decision ever! Chrissy, Lisa & Meagan were amazing. Throughout covid the company worked with me and around my new date, they were flexible, understanding and took care of me. On the day of they showed up early and prepared and were ready to rock... they were professional, SO FUN and nailed down the timing of the morning perfectly. It was a dream day and this team totally started off the day on a high. I appreciate you ladies so much!!!! For anyone reading the review, from one bride to another... hire them. My make up looked natural and I felt beautiful!!

I used Top Knot for my COVID wedding and they were beyond amazing!! My hair and make up was stunning and all my bridesmaids were gorgeous. They also did my mom and my mother in law. Everyone was glowing. They were amazing to have in the room with us while getting ready they brought lots of fun and comedy. They services overall were beyond anything I could have asked for even during COVID.

Top Knot is by far the BEST choice you can make for your bridal hair and makeup for your special day! I was part of a wedding party in August and I have never felt so special in my life. Chrissy and her team went out of their way to make us feel beautiful! I will forever remember that special day and feeling absolutely fabulous! Chrissy’s team is welcoming, friendly and very professional! Thank you Top Knot for making such a special day even more special and memorable for everyone that was lucky enough to get pampered by you.

Wow - what an incredible experience it was to be a Top Knot Bride! As someone with very curly hair, it can be a challenge to find a stylist who wants (and loves!) to work with natural curls. Lisa is that stylist! She worked with my curls to create an elegant, classy but creative updo. She also made my entire wedding party (and moms!) feel beautiful and special the day of the wedding - which set our day off on the best foot! If you’re looking for a perfect compliment to your wedding day, look no further than Top Knot Brides! Thank you Lisa for bringing beauty, fun and laughter to our wedding day. It was a joy to have you be part of our day!

Top Knot Brides absolutely killed our hair and makeup for my wedding. They were a true dream to work with. Lisa helped spark some inspiration when I was struggling and I loved my epic ponytail she created! Shannon nailed a glamorous look that still embodied me and my every day comfort with make up. I would highly recommend Top Knot Brides for your special day. You will not be disappointed
