Bridal Hairstyling
Style Us
Have any of these on your bridal hair wishlist?
If so… you’re in the right place!
You want a stylist who is relaible, communicative and can curate your dream style.
Hi, I’m Rachel!I’m a Calgary-based bridal hairstylist creating beautiful, glamorous hairstyles that make you feel confident, feminine, and like the absolute best version of yourself.
At RJStyles, I believe your wedding morning should feel calm, relaxed, and un-rushed. Your hair shouldn’t be something that’s quickly checked off the list before your stylist rushes away to their next wedding.
When you book with me, you’re booking me — from the moment you sign your contract to the moment you walk down the aisle. I take the time to get to know you, your vision, your dress, your overall style, and all those little details that make your wedding uniquely yours.
I create a custom hairstyle for every bride, whether you have a very specific Pinterest photo in mind or you’re still figuring out what feels like you. My goal is for your hair to feel polished, timeless, and completely personal to your wedding day.

I cannot say enough positive things about Rachel and her talent. I was lucky enough to have Rachel do my hair twice, once for my rehearsal dinner and again for my wedding. Both styles were very different from each other and she knocked both of them out of the park. She had 8 ladies to do hair for my wedding and everyone’s hair was perfect and exactly what they asked for. We all felt beautiful and got so many compliments from our friends and family. Everyone’s hair also stayed in place the entire night. She is a master at what she does no matter the type of hair or style whether it’s thick or thin hair, straight or curly. Everyone’s hair was FLAWLESS! I could not recommend Rachel enough!

My experience with Rachel for my wedding, from start to finish, was nothing but perfect! I showed her my vision and she brought it to life! Rachel asked detailed questions during my trial, to ensure my hair dreams came true. She wants to hear your wedding details and really cares what you want. Rachel is so easy to work with and I HIGHLY recommend her. The morning of my wedding, she fit right in and did amazing work for all my bridesmaids, and my daughter. She made sure everyone was happy with their hair and was so good with my daughter who is 3 years old. Rachels passion is hair and it goes to show. She helped make me look so beautiful on my big day!

Rachel made me feel SO dang beautiful on my wedding day. She styled my hair even better than I thought was possible, and my hair is still the first thing that people compliment when they talk about my wedding. Not only did she make me feel like I belonged in Vogue, she cared so much about how my bridesmaids felt as well. She listened to their specific hair needs and wants (all different) and absolutely nailed it, and made them feel so great! It made the experience for me even smoother to not have to worry about how they were feeling. Of course, Rachel was very responsive, professional, timely, and thorough, but she was much more than that. Choose her because she is wickedly talented with all hair types and clearly cares so much about her brides. Considering getting divorced so she can do my hair again for my next wedding, thats how stellar my experience was!

This is your sign right now to stop scrolling through instagram and google and to book Rachel immediately. I spent weeks looking for someone within the Calgary area experienced with the ‘hollywood glam’ look. Rachel is an absolute master at her craft, and beyond that she is a sweet, genuine person who fit in perfectly with my girls the morning of my wedding. Not only was Rachel was able to bring my vision to life, my hair stayed in place all night long! Thank you Rachel for being a part of my wedding day and for making me feel so beautiful. You were a pleasure to work with, and any future bride can consider herself lucky to have you as her bridal stylist.

Frequently Asked Wedding Booking Questions
How far in advance can I book my bridal trial?
You can book your bridal trial 1-2 months before your wedding via a “scheduler form” that is automatically sent to you 75 days before your date.
Can I make changes to my booking after I reserve my date?
You can absolutely add on additional hair styling services but you cannot remove them once your contract is signed. If you’re unsure about a service, I recommend excluding it from your inquiry, and we can always add it in later if need be!
If your getting ready location changes, that’s okay too! Please let me know as soon as the location is set so I can make sure that the travel fee is accurate.
How long do you allow for services on the wedding day?
Most hairstyles take around one hour to complete. For brides, I allow 1.5–2 hours so we can take our time, perfect every detail, and keep your morning feeling relaxed and unrushed.
Do you have a minimum number of services required to book?
Yes! RJStyles requires a minimum of 1 “Bridal Bliss” package perfect for elopements or quiet wedding mornings. I also designed two other packages “Essential” or “Diamond” (custom to your wedding morning needs)
What if I don't meet the minimum number of services for my event?
To reserve your date, there is a $750 minimum for all events. If your selected services total less than $750, the difference will be added as a minimum booking fee to meet the $750 minimum.
How much do you charge for travel, and are there any additional fees?
Travel within Calgary begins at $55. Travel outside of Calgary is charged at $1.00 per kilometre.
For locations requiring more than two hours of driving, or for wedding mornings with a start time before 6:00 AM (based on departure from my home), overnight accommodations will be required for Rachel and any additional stylists. This ensures everyone arrives safe, prepared, and able to provide you with the best possible experience.
How much are early start fees?
Early start fees are applicable before 6AM from when the artist leaves to travel to the location:
3AM or earlier – $300
4AM – $250
5AM – $200
6AM – $150
Frequently Asked Extensions/Accessories Questions
What hair extensions do you recommend?
What hair accessory brands do you recommend?
For a gorgeous investment piece that can be used as a family heirloom I recommend the company Joanna Bisley Designs. Perfect for local Calgary artists as she does have a display room which consists of ear rings, bracelets and hair accessories.
What type of hair accessories do you recommend?
Depending on your selected style, here’s a simple rule of thumb.
Updo: Pins or Comb
Half up: Small comb, Pins or Bridal Hair Clip
Down pulled to the side: Bridal hair clip or pins
All down waves: Head band or Crown
Bridal Hairstyling Pricing
Dear bride, please note the following before inquiring about your date:
-
Travel & Parking: Travel and parking fees are additional to your service pricing and are determined based on your wedding venue.
-
Travel Distance: I travel up to two hours outside of Calgary. Locations requiring more than two hours of travel will require a hotel stay the night before your wedding.
-
Early Start Times: For wedding mornings with a start time before 5:00 AM, a hotel stay the night before will be required. This allows for a safe arrival and ensures I can be rested and fully present for your wedding morning, especially during winter months (November–May).
-
Larger Bridal Parties: I personally take care of all my brides. For bridal parties of 7 or more, an additional stylist will join me to ensure everyone receives the same level of care and attention. Additional stylist fees, travel, and parking will apply.
-
Bridal Trials: Bridal trials are available exclusively to booked brides and can be scheduled once your contract has been signed and deposit has been received.
Thank you for taking the time to review these details. My goal is to create a seamless, relaxed, and personalized experience from the moment you book with me through to your wedding day.
